Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shell-breaking cylinders, specifically relating to shell-breaking devices for electrolytic cells. Background Technology
[0002] The shell-breaking cylinder is a core power device used in industries such as electrolytic aluminum and non-ferrous metal smelting. It works in conjunction with the shell-breaking hammer to break the shell in the electrolytic cell. Its main function is to drive the output reciprocating linear motion through air pressure, thereby driving the hammer to break the electrolyte shell in the electrolytic cell and providing a channel for subsequent processes such as feeding and aluminum tapping.
[0003] In existing technologies, during the daily production of electrolytic cells, shell-breaking cylinders often malfunction due to issues such as loose bolts on the front end cap, loose Y-connectors, or broken hammer lifting lugs. These malfunctions are difficult to detect in advance because the shell-breaking hammer guide cylinder is completely sealed, making it impossible to observe these areas during routine inspections. Furthermore, the single-layer observation window is susceptible to contamination or corrosion of internal components due to dust and electrolyte splashes, thus affecting the normal operation of the shell-breaking cylinder. Therefore, this invention proposes an electrolytic cell shell-breaking device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the problem that existing shell-opening cylinders cannot guarantee the sealing and protection of the cylinder body while making it easy for users to inspect and maintain.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an electrolytic cell shell-breaking device, including a cylinder shell, and two sets of multi-layer protective viewing window structures symmetrically distributed front and back on the cylinder shell. Observation windows are provided through the outer walls at both ends of the cylinder shell. The viewing window structure includes an outer transparent door panel, a dustproof door panel and an inner transparent door panel distributed sequentially from the outside to the inside of the observation window. The outer transparent door panel is hinged to the inner wall of the outer side of the observation window, and the inner transparent door panel is hinged to the inner wall of the inner side of the observation window. Several sets of equidistantly distributed dustproof meshes are provided through the front and back ends of the dustproof door panel.
[0006] Preferably, sliders are fixed to the upper and lower edges of the dustproof door panel, and limit grooves are opened on the inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the observation window, with the outer wall of the slider fitting against the inner wall of the limit groove.
[0007] Preferably, the left and right ends of the slider are provided with sliding grooves, and an arc-shaped guide rail is fixedly connected in the limiting groove. The inner wall of the sliding groove and the outer wall of the arc-shaped guide rail are in contact with each other.
[0008] Preferably, the dustproof door panel is located between the outer transparent door panel and the inner transparent door panel. The outer transparent door panel rotates and opens on the right, and the inner transparent door panel rotates and opens on the left. The outer walls of the dustproof door panel, the outer transparent door panel, and the inner transparent door panel are all in contact with the inner wall of the observation window.
[0009] Preferably, an arc-shaped groove is provided at the outer edge of the inner transparent door panel, and a handle is fixedly connected at the outer edge of the inner transparent door panel. The arc-shaped groove and the handle are distributed in a centrally symmetrical manner.
[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the cylinder shell is fixedly connected to the shell-breaking cylinder body, and the output end of the shell-breaking cylinder body is equipped with a small end cap. The small end cap is slidably connected to the hammer head lifting lug through a Y-shaped connector and a cross connector, and the hammer head lifting lug is fixedly connected to the shell-breaking hammer head.
[0011] Preferably, the hammer head is located inside the cylinder shell and is adapted to it, with the observation window corresponding to the connection point of the small cover at the front end, the Y-shaped connector, the cross connector and the hammer head lifting lug.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By using a three-layer structure of an outer transparent door, a dustproof door panel, and an inner transparent door panel, the protection level is combined with the ease of observation. This avoids the contradiction that a single window protection makes it inconvenient to observe, while observation sacrifices protection. At the same time, it makes it easy for users to observe the shell-breaking cylinder components that were originally covered, thus preventing shell-breaking cylinder malfunctions. 2. By fitting the slider and the limiting groove together and by cooperating with the arc-shaped guide rail and the sliding groove, the movement of the dustproof door panel can be precisely guided, its deviation can be limited, and the door panel can be ensured to slide smoothly along a fixed trajectory.

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0016] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of an electrolytic cell shell-breaking device, which includes a cylinder shell 2 and two sets of multi-layer protective viewing window structures symmetrically distributed front and back on the cylinder shell 2. Observation windows 8 are provided through the outer walls of the front and rear ends of the cylinder shell 2. The viewing window structure includes an outer transparent door panel 17, a dustproof door panel 13 and an inner transparent door panel 11 distributed sequentially from the outside to the inside of the observation window 8. The outer transparent door panel 17 is hinged to the outer inner wall of the observation window 8 and the inner transparent door panel 11 is hinged to the inner inner wall of the observation window 8. Several sets of equidistantly distributed dustproof meshes 18 are provided through the front and rear ends of the dustproof door panel 13.
[0017] The three-layer structure of the outer transparent door, dustproof door panel 13, and inner transparent door panel 11 combines the protection level with the convenience of observation, avoiding the contradiction that a single window protection is not convenient for observation, and observation sacrifices protection. At the same time, it makes it easy for users to observe the shell-breaking cylinder components that were originally covered, preventing shell-breaking cylinder malfunctions.
[0018] Please see Figures 5-6 In this embodiment, sliders 14 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower edges of the dustproof door panel 13. Limiting grooves 9 are opened on the inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the observation window 8. The outer wall of the slider 14 fits against the inner wall of the limiting groove 9. Through the fit between the slider 14 and the limiting groove 9, precise guidance is provided for the movement of the dustproof door panel 13, limiting its deviation and ensuring that the door panel slides smoothly along a fixed trajectory, avoiding jamming or sealing failure caused by shaking. At the same time, the stability and service life of the door panel opening and closing are improved. Slide grooves 15 are opened through the left and right ends of the slider 14. Arc-shaped guide rails 10 are fixedly connected in the limiting grooves 9. The inner wall of the slide groove 15 and the outer wall of the arc-shaped guide rail 10 fit against each other. The cooperation between the arc-shaped guide rail 10 and the slide groove 15 further optimizes the guiding accuracy, especially suitable for the opening and closing requirements of arc-shaped trajectories. It ensures that the dustproof door panel 13 fits tightly in arc-shaped movement, reduces gaps, improves the dustproof and foreign object prevention effect, and reduces sliding friction, making the operation smoother.
[0019] Please see Figure 6In this embodiment, the dustproof door panel 13 is located between the outer transparent door panel 17 and the inner transparent door panel 11. The outer transparent door panel 17 rotates and opens to the right, while the inner transparent door panel 11 rotates and opens to the left. The outer walls of the dustproof door panel 13, the outer transparent door panel 17, and the inner transparent door panel 11 are all in contact with the inner wall of the observation window 8. The three-layer door panel structure forms multiple layers of protection. The outer and inner transparent door panels 11 can be opened and closed independently to meet the needs of different observation scenarios. For example, opening the outer panel facilitates quick observation. The inner side opens for easy close-range operation. The dustproof door panel 13 is located in the middle and can slide independently to further prevent dust from entering. An arc-shaped groove 12 is provided at the outer edge of the inner transparent door panel 11. A handle 16 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the inner transparent door panel 11. The arc-shaped groove 12 and the handle 16 are centrally symmetrically distributed. The handle 16 facilitates manual opening and closing of the door panel. The arc-shaped groove 12 is adapted to the finger grip habits and provides an auxiliary force point, which is especially convenient for labor-saving operation when the door panel is thick or the seal is tight.
[0020] Please see Figures 3-4 In this embodiment, the upper end of the cylinder shell 2 is fixedly connected to the shell-breaking cylinder body 1. The output end of the shell-breaking cylinder body 1 is equipped with a small end cap 4. The small end cap 4 is slidably connected to the hammer head lifting lug 7 through a Y-shaped connector 5 and a cross connector 6. The hammer head lifting lug 7 is fixedly connected to the shell-breaking hammer head 3. The combination design of multiple connectors can buffer the impact of the cylinder output force, reduce the wear caused by rigid contact, and extend the service life of the components. The shell-breaking hammer head 3 is set inside the cylinder shell 2 and is adapted to it. The observation window 8 corresponds to the connection point of the small end cap 4, the Y-shaped connector 5, the cross connector 6 and the hammer head lifting lug 7. The observation window 8 is directly facing the key connection part, which makes it convenient for the operator to observe the operating status of the connector in real time, detect faults in time and maintain them, and reduce the risk of equipment downtime.
[0021] After the shell-breaking cylinder body 1 is started, its output end transmits power through the small cover 4 at the first end. Through the buffer and angle adjustment of the Y-type connector 5 and the cross connector 6, it drives the hammer head lifting lug 7 and the fixed shell-breaking hammer head 3 to reciprocate within the cylinder body shell 2, thereby realizing the shell-breaking operation of the electrolytic cell. During normal operation, the outer transparent door panel 17, dustproof door panel 13, and inner transparent door panel 11 are all in a closed state. The three door panels are in close contact with the inner wall of the observation window 8 to form a sealed protection. The observation window 8 is an opening cut from the bottom of the guide cylinder bolt fixing plate to the conical sleeve limiting plate with a width of cm. The dustproof mesh 18 of the dustproof door panel 13 can block some dust without affecting the observation. At the same time, the outer transparent door panel 17 and dustproof door panel 13 can be opened to observe the working status of the small cover 4, Y-type connector 5, cross connector 6, and hammer head lifting lug 7 inside the cylinder shell 2 through the inner transparent door panel 11. When it is necessary to maintain the internal head cover 4, Y-shaped connector 5, cross connector 6 and hammer head lifting lug 7, the outer transparent door panel 17 can be opened by rotating to the right, the dustproof door panel 13 can be opened by sliding, and the inner transparent door panel 11 can be opened by rotating to the left. Then, the key parts can be directly observed through the observation window 8. When operating the inner transparent door panel 11 and the side transparent door panel, force can be applied through the handle 16 or the arc-shaped groove 12 to achieve smooth opening and closing, while the dustproof door panel 13 can be opened and closed by sliding along the limiting groove 9 and the arc-shaped guide rail 10 via the slider 14.
[0022] Through the above steps, the three-layer structure of the outer transparent door, dustproof door panel 13, and inner transparent door panel 11 combines the protection level with the ease of observation, avoiding the contradiction that a single window protection is inconvenient for observation, while observation sacrifices protection. At the same time, it makes it easy for users to observe the previously obscured shell-breaking cylinder components, preventing shell-breaking cylinder failures and solving the problem that existing shell-breaking cylinders cannot guarantee the cylinder body's sealing and protection while facilitating user inspection and maintenance.
[0023] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
