Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of lifting equipment and relates to an anode guide rod lifting device with self-locking function. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of primary aluminum electrolysis, electrolytic anodes are required. These anodes mainly consist of two parts: a carbon block and an anode guide rod. The anode guide rod itself can be composed of an aluminum guide rod, a composite block, and steel claws. As a key component of the anode guide rod, the aluminum guide rod's working surface is pressed into contact with the anode balance busbar via a small clamp, guiding direct current into the anode carbon block and thus providing conductivity. In practice, due to prolonged use, the steel claws and composite block of the aluminum guide rod often suffer varying degrees of damage, necessitating repair. The main steps for repairing the aluminum guide rod are: using a lifting device to hoist the aluminum guide rod to its designated location; and after repair, using the same device to hoist it back to its original position. Therefore, the lifting device is an indispensable tool in the aluminum guide rod repair process. In actual production, aluminum guide rods are arranged in rows with small gaps. When using flat lifting straps or ropes to lift aluminum guide rods, operators must first use a crowbar to pry open a certain gap before lowering the lifting straps or ropes for binding. Using flat lifting straps or ropes to lift angular guide rods is prone to wear and breakage. In addition, the ropes may loosen or slip during the lifting process, causing the guide rods to fall and causing safety accidents. This results in low lifting and repair efficiency and cannot meet the actual production needs.

[0003] In summary, the existing technology has the problem that the anode guide rod used in electrolytic aluminum is prone to slipping during the hoisting process. Utility Model Content
