Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of anti-tipping reinforcement structure for the rotating platform of an electrolytic aluminum unit, and in particular to an anti-tipping reinforcement structure for the rotating platform of an electrolytic aluminum unit. Background Technology

[0002] In the electrolytic aluminum production process, the rotary platform, as a core piece of equipment connecting the electrolytic cell and subsequent processing stages, undertakes critical tasks such as the transfer of molten aluminum, electrode replacement, and equipment maintenance. Its operational stability directly determines the continuity, safety, and product quality of electrolytic aluminum production. Any tipping or shaking can not only lead to molten aluminum leakage, causing equipment corrosion and production interruptions, but also potentially result in personal injury or death, causing significant economic losses and safety risks to the company.

[0003] As the electrolytic aluminum industry develops towards large-scale and intensive operations, the capacity of electrolytic cells is continuously increasing, and the load-bearing capacity of rotary platforms is also significantly increasing. Traditional rotary platforms mostly adopt a single support structure, relying solely on a bottom base plate and simple rotating connectors to achieve positioning and rotation functions, lacking targeted anti-tipping reinforcement design. During long-term high-load operation, affected by factors such as high temperatures, corrosive gases, and frequent start-stop impacts in the electrolytic workshop, the defects of traditional structures gradually become apparent. Rotating components are prone to wear and increased clearance, leading to a decrease in platform rotation accuracy and significant swaying during operation, increasing the risk of tipping. Based on this, an anti-tipping reinforcement structure for the rotary platform of electrolytic aluminum units is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an anti-tipping reinforcement structure for the rotating platform of an aluminum electrolysis unit. This solves the problem that during long-term high-load operation, the defects of traditional structures gradually become apparent due to factors such as high temperatures, corrosive gases, and frequent start-stop impacts in the electrolysis workshop. These defects include wear and increased clearance in rotating parts, which leads to decreased platform rotation accuracy, significant shaking during operation, and increased risk of tipping.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tilt-resistant reinforcement structure for a rotating platform of an electrolytic aluminum unit, comprising a supporting base plate, a positioning plate fixedly installed on the top of the supporting base plate, a rotating cylinder fixedly installed on the top of the positioning plate, a connecting ring frame rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder, a connecting ring frame sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting ring frame, a connecting top frame rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the connecting ring frame, a transparent lampshade connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder, and a connecting lamp tube fixedly installed on the inner wall of the positioning plate. A connecting pipe is provided at the bottom of the connecting lamp tube. An installation plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the receiving base plate. A connecting pipe is provided on the inner wall of the installation plate. A limiting rotating ring is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder. A fixing ring is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting rotating ring. A connecting rotating ring is rotatably connected to the lower section of the inner wall of the limiting rotating ring. An inner ring is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rotating ring. A connecting central ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner ring. A ring sleeve is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting central ring. A rotating bottom ring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting central ring.

[0006] A further improvement is that a limiting ring is fitted onto the outer wall of the upper section of the rotating drum.

[0007] A further improvement is that a limiting ring two is fitted onto the outer wall of the lower section of the connecting top frame.

[0008] A further improvement is that the connecting lamp tube is located inside the transparent lampshade cavity.

[0009] A further improvement is that the limiting rotating ring is disposed in the inner cavity of the rotating cylinder.

[0010] A further improvement is that the fixing ring and the connecting rotating ring are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the limiting rotating ring.

[0011] A further improvement is that the rotating bottom ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the receiving base plate.

[0012] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides an anti-tipping reinforcement structure for the rotating platform of an electrolytic aluminum unit, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model constructs a multi-dimensional and multi-layered anti-tipping protection system through an outer support system of "supporting base plate-positioning plate-rotating cylinder", a middle constraint structure of "limiting rotating ring-fixing ring-connecting rotating ring", and an inner reinforcement component of "inner ring-connecting central ring-ring sleeve". It can effectively resist lateral forces and overturning moments, solving the risk of swaying and tipping caused by insufficient support and wear of rotating parts in traditional structures. At the same time, the dual axial limiting design of limiting ring one and limiting ring two further restricts the axial displacement of the components, avoiding platform tilting under high load operation or eccentric load, fundamentally reducing the risk of electrolytic aluminum liquid leakage, equipment damage and personnel injury, and providing a solid guarantee for the safety of electrolytic aluminum production.

[0014] 2. The lighting module composed of the transparent lampshade and connecting lamp tube in this utility model, along with the power supply support from the connecting pipeline, allows workers to directly observe the operating status and wear of components such as the limiting ring and connecting ring frame inside the rotating drum without disassembling the equipment, significantly shortening maintenance and inspection time. The fluid and cable transmission channel formed by the mounting plate and connecting pipe not only delivers cooling medium to the rotating parts to extend their service life but also protects the cables from high-temperature and corrosive environments, reducing the frequency of equipment failures. Compared to traditional structures that require shutdown for disassembly and repair and have long maintenance cycles, this structure significantly reduces maintenance costs and downtime losses, improving the continuity and economy of electrolytic aluminum production.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] During long-term high-load operation, the traditional structure gradually reveals its defects due to the high temperature, corrosive gases, and frequent start-stop impacts in the electrolysis workshop. Rotating parts are prone to wear and increased clearances, leading to decreased platform rotation accuracy, significant shaking during operation, and increased risk of tipping. This embodiment provides a tipping-proof reinforcement structure for the rotating platform of an aluminum electrolysis unit. Please refer to... Figures 1-4 The embodiment provides an anti-tipping reinforcement structure for the rotating platform of an electrolytic aluminum unit, including a supporting base plate 1, a positioning plate 2 fixedly installed on the top of the supporting base plate 1, a rotating cylinder 3 fixedly installed on the top of the positioning plate 2, a connecting ring frame 4 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, a connecting ring frame 4 sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting ring frame 4, a connecting top frame 6 rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the connecting ring frame 4, a transparent lamp cover 7 connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 3, a connecting lamp tube 8 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the positioning plate 2, a connecting pipe 9 connected to the bottom of the connecting lamp tube 8, an installation plate 10 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the supporting base plate 1, a connecting pipe 11 connected to the inner wall of the installation plate 10, and a limiting rotating ring 12 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3. A fixed ring 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the 2nd rotating ring 12. A connecting ring 14 is rotatably connected to the lower section of the inner wall of the limiting rotating ring 12. An inner ring 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rotating ring 14. A connecting central ring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner ring 15. A ring sleeve 17 is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting central ring 16. A rotating bottom ring 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting central ring 16. A limiting ring 19 is fitted on the outer wall of the upper section of the rotating cylinder 3. A limiting ring 20 is fitted on the outer wall of the lower section of the connecting top frame 6. A connecting lamp tube 8 is set in the inner cavity of the transparent lamp cover 7. The limiting rotating ring 12 is set in the inner cavity of the rotating cylinder 3. The fixed ring 13 and the connecting rotating ring 14 are respectively set at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the limiting rotating ring 12. The rotating bottom ring 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the receiving base plate 1.

[0024] Working principle: The base plate 1 serves as the load-bearing foundation of the entire structure. Through its high-strength material properties, it evenly transfers the entire load of the rotating platform, including the weight of the equipment, the electrolytic aluminum liquid, and the weight of the workers, to the ground foundation, providing stable bottom support for the overall structure. The rotating bottom ring 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the base plate 1. On the one hand, the rigid connection with the base plate 1 strengthens the integrity of the bottom structure. On the other hand, it provides a precise bottom positioning reference for the rotating components above, avoiding platform offset due to bottom displacement and reducing the risk of tipping at the source. The rotating cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1 through the positioning plate 2. The positioning plate 2 not only achieves a rigid connection between the rotating cylinder 3 and the base plate 1, but also ensures the verticality of the rotating cylinder 3 through its planar positioning function, preventing the rotating cylinder 3 from tilting due to installation deviation, and providing a stable outer support frame for the subsequent rotating components.

[0025] A limiting rotating ring 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3. As a mid-level rotational constraint component, the limiting rotating ring 12's outer wall tightly fits the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, ensuring its flexible rotation around the axis of the rotating cylinder 3 while limiting its radial displacement through the outer wrapping effect of the rotating cylinder 3, preventing lateral displacement during rotation. A fixed ring 13 and a connecting rotating ring 14 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the limiting rotating ring 12, respectively. The fixed ring 13, through its rotational engagement with the limiting rotating ring 12, provides a stable top constraint for the upper structure, preventing longitudinal movement of the upper components during rotation. The connecting rotating ring 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inner ring 15, which is formed by the connecting central ring 16 and the ring sleeve 17. The inner support system, with the ring 17 adjustable for tightness according to actual load requirements, further enhances the connection stability between the inner ring 15 and the connecting central ring 16, preventing the inner components from loosening due to load changes. The limiting ring 19 sleeved on the upper outer wall of the rotating drum 3 and the limiting ring 20 sleeved on the lower outer wall of the connecting top frame 6 form a double axial limiting structure: the limiting ring 19 restricts the relative axial displacement between the rotating drum 3 and the upper components, preventing the rotating drum 3 from moving upwards under load; the limiting ring 20 fixes the axial position of the connecting top frame 6, preventing the connecting top frame 6 from shifting axially due to vibration during rotation. The two work together to further improve the axial stability of the overall structure and resist overturning moment.

[0026] The outer wall of the connecting ring frame 4 is fitted with its own [this should be a technical description correction], which is actually the cooperation between the connecting ring frame 4 and the rotating cylinder 3 and the connecting top frame 6. Its lower section is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, and its upper section is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting top frame 6, forming a three-layer rotating cooperation structure of "rotating cylinder 3-connecting ring frame 4-connecting top frame 6". When the rotary platform needs to rotate, the connecting top frame 6 is driven by the drive mechanism (not listed in the claims, but an external supporting component). Through the rotational cooperation between the connecting ring frame 4 and the rotating cylinder 3, stable rotation around the axis of the rotating cylinder 3 is achieved. At the same time, the rotational cooperation between the connecting ring frame 4 and the connecting top frame 6 can compensate for minor deviations caused by manufacturing errors or load changes during rotation, ensuring the smoothness of the rotation and avoiding jamming.

[0027] The inner ring 15 rotates synchronously with the connecting top frame 6 through the rotational engagement of the connecting rotating ring 14 and the limiting rotating ring 12. The connecting central ring 16 serves as the connecting component between the inner ring 15 and the rotating bottom ring 18. On the one hand, through the rigid connection with the inner ring 15, it transmits the rotational force of the inner ring 15 to the rotating bottom ring 18. On the other hand, by utilizing the fixed connection between the rotating bottom ring 18 and the receiving base plate 1, it provides bottom support for the rotation of the inner ring 15, forming an auxiliary rotational transmission chain of "connecting top frame 6 - inner ring 15 - connecting central ring 16 - rotating bottom ring 18". This further disperses the torque during the rotation process, avoids damage to a single component due to concentrated force, and improves the stability of the overall rotating structure.

[0028] A lighting module is formed by a transparent lampshade 7 connected to the outer wall of the rotating drum 3 and a connecting lamp tube 8 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the positioning plate 2. The connecting lamp tube 8 is located inside the transparent lampshade 7 and can be connected to an external power source through a connecting pipeline 9 to provide lighting. During routine maintenance or operation monitoring, the connecting lamp tube 8 is lit, and the light shines through the transparent lampshade 7 to illuminate the inside and surrounding areas of the rotating drum 3. Workers can directly observe the operating status and wear of components such as the limiting rotating ring 12 and the connecting ring frame 4 on the inner wall of the rotating drum 3 through the transparent lampshade 7. Preliminary inspection can be completed without disassembling the equipment, significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and improving monitoring efficiency. Efficiency; The mounting plate 10, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the substrate 1, and the connecting pipe 11 connected to its inner wall are mainly used to transmit cooling medium or cables; In the electrolytic aluminum production process, the rotary platform needs to be equipped with a cooling system to cope with the high temperature environment of the workshop. The cooling medium can be transported to the heat-generating components of the platform, such as the rotating bearing, through the connecting pipe 11 to achieve cooling; At the same time, the connecting pipe 11 can also be used to run control cables, providing power and signal transmission channels for connecting electrical components such as lamp tubes 8, avoiding the cables from being exposed to high temperature and corrosive environment, extending the service life of the cables, and ensuring the stable operation of the electrical system;

[0029] Throughout the entire structural operation, the various components form a multi-dimensional and multi-layered anti-tipping protection system: in the lateral direction, the cooperation between the rotating drum 3 and the limiting rotating ring 12 restricts radial displacement, while the axial constraint of the first limiting ring 19 and the second limiting ring 20 prevents lateral movement; in the longitudinal direction, the bottom support of the supporting base plate 1 and the rotating bottom ring 18, the verticality guarantee of the positioning plate 2, and the top constraint of the fixing ring 13 jointly resist the longitudinal overturning moment; during rotation, the coordinated cooperation of the multi-layer rotating components ensures the smooth operation of the platform and avoids additional overturning risks caused by swaying; the auxiliary lighting and fluid transmission module indirectly reduces the risk of overturning due to component failure by improving the maintainability and operational stability of the equipment; through the close coordination and interaction of the above components, the structure achieves stable operation of the rotary platform under high load and complex working conditions, effectively solving the problems of insufficient anti-tipping capability and difficult maintenance of traditional structures.
