Description

Technical Field

[0001] Some embodiments provided in this application relate to the field of electrolytic cell assembly technology, and in particular to an electrolytic cell assembly tooling. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electrolytic cells are typically assembled vertically, meaning they are stacked layer by layer. However, this method results in a relatively high electrolytic cell; a complete 1000 cubic meter electrolytic cell, when erected, is approximately 4 to 5 meters tall. Before assembling the tie rods, the disc springs need to be transported to the top end plate, where they are then stacked piece by piece by the assemblers. Due to the high position of the end plate and the large number of disc springs (usually over four hundred), assembly efficiency is low, leading to a significant time consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of some embodiments provided in this application is to propose an electrolytic cell assembly fixture to address the problems of low assembly efficiency and long assembly time of existing electrolytic cells.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, some embodiments of this application provide an electrolytic cell assembly fixture for assisting in the assembly of an electrolytic cell. The electrolytic cell includes an end pressure plate and a disc spring assembly mounted on the end pressure plate. The end pressure plate has a first mounting hole, and the disc spring assembly has a second mounting hole. The electrolytic cell assembly fixture includes:

[0005] A connecting rod is inserted through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole; and,

[0006] Two abutment members are respectively disposed at both ends of the connecting rod, and one of the abutment members abuts against the side end of the end pressure plate away from the disc spring assembly, and the other abutment member abuts against the side end of the disc spring assembly away from the end pressure plate. At least one of the abutment members is configured as a movable abutment member, and the position of the movable abutment member in the axial direction of the connecting rod is adjustable.

[0007] In one embodiment, the movable abutment is connected to the connecting rod via a threaded connection structure.

[0008] In one embodiment, both abutting members are movable abutting members, and the connecting rod includes a connecting threaded rod. Both movable abutting members are sleeved on the connecting threaded rod through the threaded connection structure.

[0009] In one embodiment, each of the movable abutting components includes an abutting plate and a locking nut sleeved on the connecting rod.

[0010] In one embodiment, the abutment plate has a limiting boss, and the outer peripheral surface of the limiting boss is in contact with the inner sidewall of the first mounting hole or the second mounting hole.

[0011] In one embodiment, the two abutment plates are configured with different shapes.

[0012] In one embodiment, one of the abutment plates is circularly arranged; and / or,

[0013] The other abutment plate is arranged in a strip shape.

[0014] In one embodiment, another abutment is configured as a fixed abutment, the connecting rod includes a connecting sleeve rod, the movable abutment is inserted into the connecting sleeve rod through the threaded connection structure, and the fixed abutment is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve rod.

[0015] In one embodiment, the abutting member includes an abutting plate and a connecting portion, wherein the connecting portion is fixedly installed on the abutting plate and passes through the connecting sleeve rod;

[0016] The threaded connection structure includes a mating internal thread and an external thread. The internal thread is located on the inner side wall of the connecting sleeve, and the external thread is located on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting part.

[0017] In one embodiment, the connecting rod and / or the abutment member are made of plastic.

[0018] In the technical solution of this utility model, by setting the connecting rod to pass through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, the disc spring assembly is aligned with the end pressure plate. Two abutting members are provided to abut against the corresponding end pressure plate and the disc spring assembly, respectively. Simultaneously, by adjusting the position of the movable abutting member along the axial direction of the connecting rod, the distance between the two abutting members is reduced, bringing them closer together to lock the disc spring assembly to the end pressure plate. Thus, by setting the connecting rod and the abutting members, the disc spring assembly can be pre-installed on the end pressure plate on the ground, allowing for synchronous hoisting of the disc spring assembly with the end pressure plate. This avoids assembling the disc spring assembly at a high position, significantly improving the assembly efficiency of the disc spring assembly and reducing assembly time, thereby solving the problem of low assembly efficiency and long assembly time in existing electrolytic cells.

[0033] Currently, electrolytic cells are typically assembled vertically, meaning they are stacked layer by layer. However, this method results in a relatively high electrolytic cell; a complete 1000 cubic meter electrolytic cell, when erected, is approximately 4 to 5 meters tall. Before assembling the tie rods, the disc springs need to be transported to the top end plate, where they are then stacked piece by piece by the assemblers. Due to the high position of the end plate and the large number of disc springs (usually over four hundred), assembly efficiency is low, leading to a significant time consumption.

[0034] Based on this, some embodiments provided in this application propose an electrolytic cell assembly fixture, aiming to address the problems of low assembly efficiency and long assembly time in existing electrolytic cells. Among them, Figures 1 to 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of the electrolytic cell assembly tooling provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4In one embodiment provided in this application, the electrolytic cell assembly fixture 100 is used to assist in the assembly of the electrolytic cell. The electrolytic cell includes an end pressure plate 200 and a disc spring assembly 300 mounted on the end pressure plate 200. The end pressure plate 200 is provided with a first mounting hole 210, and the disc spring assembly 300 is provided with a second mounting hole 310. The electrolytic cell assembly fixture 100 includes a connecting rod 110 and two abutting members 120. The connecting rod 110 passes through the first mounting hole 210 and the second mounting hole 310. The two abutting members 120 are respectively disposed at both ends of the connecting rod 110, and one of the abutting members 120 abuts against the side end of the end pressure plate 200 away from the disc spring assembly 300, and the other abutting member 120 abuts against the side end of the disc spring assembly 300 away from the end pressure plate 200. The position of at least one of the abutting members 120 on the connecting rod 110 is adjustable.

[0036] It should be noted that the connecting rod 110 is mainly used to connect the abutment member 120. Its material can be various, such as metals like iron and steel, or polymers like plastic. The embodiments provided in this application do not limit this. The abutment member 120 is mainly used to press the end pressure plate 200 and the disc spring assembly 300 together. It needs to have a certain strength and hardness. Its material can be various, such as metals like iron and steel, or polymers like plastic. The embodiments provided in this application do not limit this. Furthermore, the disc spring assembly 300 includes a guide ring, a guide sleeve, and a disc spring fitted onto the guide sleeve. It is mainly used to provide a stable clamping force to maintain the sealing of the electrolytic cell.

[0037] It should also be noted that at least one of the abutment members 120 is set as a movable abutment member, meaning that of the two abutment members 120, only one abutment member 120 can be set as a movable abutment member, or both abutment members 120 can be set as movable abutment members. Some embodiments provided in this application do not limit this. Specifically, before hoisting the uppermost end pressure plate 200, the disc spring assembly 300 is first installed on the end pressure plate 200 on the ground. Then, the connecting rod 110 is passed through the first mounting hole 210 of the end pressure plate 200 and the second mounting hole 310 of the disc spring assembly 300. The position of the movable abutment member is then adjusted to lock the disc spring assembly 300 onto the end pressure plate 200, ensuring that the disc spring assembly 300 will not shake, so that the disc spring assembly 300 and the end pressure plate 200 can be hoisted simultaneously. After the end pressure plate 200 is installed, the electrolytic cell assembly fixture 100 can be removed.

[0038] In the technical solution of this application, a connecting rod 110 is provided to pass through the first mounting hole 210 and the second mounting hole 310 to align the disc spring assembly 300 with the end pressure plate 200. Two abutting members 120 are provided to abut against the corresponding end pressure plate 200 and disc spring assembly 300, respectively. At the same time, by adjusting the position of the movable abutting member in the axial direction of the connecting rod 110, the distance between the two abutting members 120 is reduced, so that the two abutting members 120 are brought closer to each other, thereby locking and fixing the disc spring assembly 300 to the end pressure plate 200. In this way, by providing the connecting rod 110 and the abutting members 120, the disc spring assembly 300 can be pre-installed on the end pressure plate 200 on the ground, so that the disc spring assembly 300 can be hoisted synchronously with the end pressure plate 200, avoiding the need to assemble the disc spring assembly 300 at a high position. This can greatly improve the assembly efficiency of the disc spring assembly 300 and reduce the assembly time, thereby solving the problem of low assembly efficiency and long assembly time of the existing electrolytic cell.

[0039] In order to lock the disc spring assembly 300 onto the end pressure plate 200, please refer to some embodiments provided in this application. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The movable abutment is connected to the connecting rod 110 through the threaded connection structure 130. In this way, the use of the threaded connection structure 130 allows the distance between the two abutment parts 120 to be continuously adjusted, which helps to adjust the preload of the disc spring assembly 300. On the other hand, the self-locking of the thread can lock the disc spring assembly 300 to the end pressure plate 200, improve the locking ability of the electrolytic cell assembly fixture 100, and thus ensure that the disc spring assembly 300 will not shake during the hoisting process.

[0040] It should be noted that there are various structures that make the position of the movable abutment adjustable. In another embodiment, the movable abutment is provided with a through hole, the inner sidewall of the through hole is provided with a positioning protrusion, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod 110 is provided with multiple mating grooves, and the multiple mating grooves are distributed along the axial direction of the connecting rod 110. The positioning protrusion and the mating grooves cooperate so that the position of the movable abutment can be adjusted along the axial direction of the connecting rod 110.

[0041] Please refer to some embodiments provided in this application. Figure 1 and Figure 4 Both abutment parts 120 are movable abutment parts. The connecting rod 110 includes a connecting screw 111. Both movable abutment parts are sleeved on the connecting screw 111 through a threaded connection structure 130. The screw is a standard part with high strength. Therefore, the connecting rod 110 adopts the connecting screw 111, which can ensure the strength of the connecting rod 110 and thus help to improve the service life of the electrolytic cell assembly fixture 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1Each movable abutment includes an abutment plate 121 sleeved on the connecting screw 111 and a locking nut 122. Thus, by setting the abutment plate 121 to abut against the end pressure plate 200 or the disc spring assembly 300, and by setting the locking nut 122 to thread into the connecting screw 111, the abutment plate 121 is driven to move, so that the two abutment members 120 come closer to each other, thereby locking the disc spring assembly 300 to the end pressure plate 200.

[0043] It should be noted that the locking nut 122 is located on the side of the abutment plate 121 opposite to the disc spring assembly 300, so as to drive the corresponding abutment plate 121 to move, so that the two abutment plates 121 can move closer to each other.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The abutment plate 121 is provided with a limiting boss 124. The outer peripheral surface of the limiting boss 124 is in contact with the inner wall of the first mounting hole 210 or the second mounting hole 310. In this way, by providing the limiting boss 124, it can be inserted into the first mounting hole 210 or the second mounting hole 310, so that the outer peripheral surface of the limiting boss 124 can be in contact with the inner wall of the first mounting hole 210 or the second mounting hole 310, thereby restricting the radial movement of the abutment plate 121 in the first mounting hole 210 or the second mounting hole 310, thereby reducing the probability of the electrolytic cell assembly fixture 100 shaking.

[0045] The two abutment plates 121 may have the same or different shapes; some embodiments provided in this application do not limit this. Specifically, in the embodiments, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The two abutment plates 121 are designed with different shapes to distinguish them, thereby ensuring that the abutment plate 121 only abuts against the corresponding end pressure plate 200 or disc spring assembly 300.

[0046] Furthermore, there are various ways to arrange the two abutment plates 121. For example, one abutment plate 121 can be circular and the other abutment plate 121 can be polygonal, or one abutment plate 121 can be rectangular and the other abutment plate 121 can be elliptical, etc. One abutment plate 121 is circular and / or the other abutment plate 121 is strip-shaped. In this way, the circular arrangement is used to match the shape of the second mounting hole 310, thereby facilitating abutment with the disc spring assembly 300. The strip-shaped arrangement is used because the end pressure plate 200 is provided with an electrode plate on the side away from the disc spring assembly 300. Therefore, the strip-shaped arrangement is used so that the abutment plate 121 can avoid the electrode plate and avoid affecting the installation of the electrode plate.

[0047] It should be noted that the two related technical features mentioned above, namely "one of the abutting plates 121 is circular" and "the other abutting plate 121 is strip-shaped", can be set either one or both. Some embodiments provided in this application do not limit this.

[0048] In order to lock the disc spring assembly 300 onto the end pressure plate 200, please refer to another embodiment provided in this application. Figure 5 and Figure 6 Another abutment 120 is configured as a fixed abutment. The connecting rod 110 includes a connecting sleeve 112. The movable abutment passes through the connecting sleeve 112 via a threaded connection structure 130. The fixed abutment is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 112. Thus, by using the connecting sleeve 112, the connecting rod 110 can be connected to both abutment 120 while reducing the weight of the connecting rod 110. The fixed abutment is used to fix the connection to the connecting sleeve 112, while the movable abutment allows for adjustment of the distance between the two abutment 120, thereby locking the disc spring assembly 300 to the end pressure plate 200. Furthermore, there are various ways to form the fixed abutment and the connecting sleeve 112. The fixed abutment and the movable abutment can be integrally formed or separately formed. Some embodiments provided in this application do not limit this.

[0049] Furthermore, the movable abutment includes an abutment plate 121 and a connecting part 123. The connecting part 123 is fixedly installed on the abutment plate 121 and passes through the connecting sleeve rod 112. The threaded connection structure 130 includes mutually mating internal threads and external threads. The internal thread is provided on the inner side wall of the connecting sleeve rod 112, and the external thread is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part 123. Thus, by providing the abutment plate 121, it can abut against the end pressure plate 200 or the disc spring assembly 300, and by providing the connecting part 123, it can be provided with external threads so that the movable abutment can be threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve rod 112.

[0050] In another embodiment of this application, the connecting rod 110 and / or the abutment 120 are made of plastic. Using plastic reduces the weight of the electrolytic cell assembly fixture 100 and lowers its cost. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting rod 110 and the abutment 120 may also be made of metal or other materials; the embodiments provided in this application do not limit this choice.

[0051] It should be noted that the material of the connecting rod 110 and / or the abutment 120 is plastic. This means that only the connecting rod 110 can be made of plastic, only the abutment 120 can be made of plastic, or both the connecting rod 110 and the abutment 120 can be made of plastic. Some embodiments provided in this application do not limit this.

[0052] The above descriptions are merely exemplary implementations of some embodiments provided in this application, and do not limit the patent scope of some embodiments provided in this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of some embodiments provided in this application, using the description and drawings of some embodiments provided in this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of some embodiments provided in this application.
