[0002] In the aluminum electrolysis production process, alumina and aluminum fluoride are transported to the upper hopper of the electrolytic cell via a feeding chute, and then fed into the electrolytic cell by a constant-volume feeder. However, when the cylinder of the constant-volume feeder malfunctions, the following technical challenges arise: First, the alumina or aluminum fluoride in the hopper needs to be placed into the electrolytic cell, resulting in waste of alumina and aluminum fluoride. Second, the constant-volume feeder needs to be lifted out entirely by an overhead crane for repair and replacement, posing a risk of lifting operations. In addition, the continuous high temperature environment above the cell exposes workers to the risk of heatstroke, affecting occupational health and increasing safety hazards.
[0003] Specifically, a 500KA electrolytic cell constant-volume feeder is needed that eliminates the need to empty the hopper and disassemble the entire feeder when the cylinder fails. This not only reduces material loss of alumina and aluminum fluoride, but also significantly lowers maintenance costs and improves operational safety. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a 500KA electrolytic cell constant-volume feeder that eliminates the need to empty the material hopper and disassemble the entire feeder when the cylinder is damaged. This not only reduces material loss of alumina and aluminum fluoride, but also significantly lowers maintenance costs and improves operational safety; thus overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model discloses a 500KA electrolytic cell constant volume feeder, which includes a guide cylinder, a constant volume device at the lower end of the guide cylinder, and a feed inlet communicating with the constant volume device at the lower part of the guide cylinder. The constant volume device includes a constant volume cylinder, and a bell jar that can move up and down along the constant volume cylinder for receiving or discharging materials. A connecting rod for driving the bell jar is provided on the guide cylinder. A discharging cylinder with the connecting rod is provided at the upper end of the constant volume cylinder.

The movable connecting device includes a mounting seat at the upper end of the constant volume cylinder, a sealing collar and a support rod of the connecting rod on the mounting seat, and the discharging cylinder is movably mounted on the upper end of the support rod. The push rod of the discharging cylinder is hinged to the connecting rod.
[0006] As mentioned above, a pull rod is fixed to the upper end of the bell jar, and the pull rod is hinged to the connecting rod.
[0007] As described above, the upper part of the support rod is provided with an external thread, the feeding cylinder is provided with a connecting plate, the connecting plate is provided with a through hole that mates with the support rod, and the upper and lower sides of the support rod are provided with limiting nuts for the connecting plate.
[0008] As mentioned above, the lower end of the support rod is welded and fixed to the mounting base or has a threaded hole on the mounting base, and the lower part of the support rod has an external thread that mates with the threaded hole.
[0009] As mentioned above, the device also includes a valve on the feeding cylinder, the valve having a first exhaust port and an additional second exhaust port, the first exhaust port and the second exhaust port being connected to the exhaust cavity of the valve.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. When the feeding cylinder malfunctions, the connection of the feeding cylinder can be disconnected through the movable connecting device, and then a new feeding cylinder can be replaced; there is no need to empty the material box and disassemble the entire feeding device, which reduces the material loss of alumina and aluminum fluoride, significantly reduces maintenance costs, and improves operational safety.
