Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new type of suspension of the anodic casing for self-baking electrodes in cells for the electrolytic production of aluminum.
  • the suspension system claimed herein can be applied to anodes having a circular or rectangular cross section as well as to those having a rectangular cross section with rounded short sides.
  • the contact rods are firmly anchored to the baked portion of the anode and, therefore, exert also the function of a suspension member.
  • the vertical iron contact rods are connected by suitable clamps with the anodic beam, the ends of which are supported by vertical screw jacks which render possible the vertical regulation of the anode.
  • the anodic beam of the electrolytic cell comprises one or more rigidly connected metallic beams.
  • an anodic beam comprising two elements.
  • the scope of the present invention includes also cells having one beam element or more than two beam elements.
  • the generic term anodic beam is used herein without being limited to any particular number of elements.
  • the anode of the cell is contained in a sheet-iron casing, suitably reinforced 'by means of iron sections and destined to contain the crude electrodic paste and to protect the half-baked and baked portions against atmospheric oxidation.
  • the anodic casing in general is terminated by a small anodic gas collecting ring for collecting the liberated anodic gas" and the products formed by distillation of the pitch used as a binder for the anodic paste.
  • the anodic casing should cover the electrode to the greatest extent possible without coming too close to the molten electrolytic bath, in order to avoid any possibility that iron may pollute the bath and, therefore, pollute the aluminum produced.
  • the anodic casing must remain at a predetermined and constant distance from the bath while the anode must be lowered regularly as carbon is continuously burnt by the oxygen developed at the anode from the electrolysis of alumina in the bath.
  • the anode therefore slides within the casing which remains in a stationary position.
  • the suspension of the anodic casing on an independent supporting beam involves structural complications which all lead to the need for increased horizontal and vertical space requirements for the anode, thus rendering more difficult the accommodations of devices for mechanizing the various operations for conducting the cell, such s, e.g. mechanized charging of the anode paste and of th alumina, tapping of the aluminum produced, mechanized breaking of the crust.
  • mechanizing those operations is particularly felt in high amperage cells, e.g. of ka. and more.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a type of suspension for the anodic casing of an aluminum electrolytic cell which blocks only downward movement of the casing, but which results in upward movement of the casing when the anode is lifted from a predetermined level.
  • connection or suspension according to the invention preferably comprises a mechanical system of which several modifications are described herein; namely a rigid-lever system of several types which operate on the same general principle though differing in construction.

  • FIG. 18 is an enlarged view, in a partially cut-away section, of a detail of FIG. 15.
  • FIGS. 1 to 18 Rigid lever systems according to several embodiments of the invention are illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 18 and these comprise systems of linked rigid members, which connect the anode casing 2 with the anodic beam 11 and operate to produce a result similar to the embodiment previously described in patent application, S. N. 801,266, so that the casing remains stationary when the beam 11 is lowered.
  • FIGS. 1-3 illustrate diagrammatically, by way of example, one embodiment of the principle of a system for connecting the casing 2 to the beam by means of simple rigid levers, stay rods and struts.
  • each eye bracket 12 is secured to the four corners of the upper edge of the casing 2.
  • Four stay rods are pivotally attached at 12a to the eye brackets 12.
  • a nut 13a at the opposite and upper extremity of stay rods 13 permits adjustment of the length of stay rods 13.
  • a bushing 13b is slidably mounted on rod 13 and is provided with a projecting boss.
  • Four triangular levers 14, having respective legs 14a, 14b and 140, are pivotally mounted at 14f for rotating on respective ones of four horizontal journalling pivots 15 4 which are welded or otherwise secured to the anodic beam 11.
  • each triangular lever 14 is fixed with respect to each other and at their vertices 14d, 14c and 14] form pivoting means for struts 16, bushings 13b on stay rods 13 and journals 15, respectively.
  • Struts 16 are hingedly attached at their lower extremity 17 to a fixed base 17a while at the other end they are pivotally attached to the lower vertex 14d of triangular levers 14.
  • the length of the stay rods 13 as adjustable by threaded nut 13a so that the vertical position of the anodic casing 2 with respect to beam 11 can be changed as desired.
  • Rod 13 slides together with nut 13a freely in bushing 13b to which member 14 is articulated at 14c.
  • nut 13a limits the stroke of rod 13 and consequently of easing 2, only downwardly not upwardly. Therefore, once the position of nut 13a is adjusted, if the anodic beam 11 is lowered, the position of the casing 2 remains substantially unvaried, while a cooperating rotation of the stays 13, struts 16 and triangular levers 14 takes place around their respective pivot joints. If the anodic beam 11 is lowered, bushing 13b abuts against the nut 13a, limiting the further lowering of easing 2, and the rods 16 act as struts between triangle 14 and pivot joint 17.
  • rod 16 rotates counterclockwise while arm 14a of triangular lever 14 rotates clockwise.
  • Casing 2 is lifted only when the anode is lifted, and then stay rod 13 with nut 13a attached thereto slides upward through bushing 13b.
  • the nut 13a limits only the downward stroke, but not the upward stroke of stay rod 13.
  • the current carrying studs are utilized.
  • the current carrying studs should be clamped to the casing and unclamped from the beam 11. If on the contrary the anode is to be lifted, the studs remain clamped to the beam 11 and in that case they are not clamped to the casing.
  • Example 1 By way of a numerical non-limiting example of actual dimensions, with a lowering of the beam 11 by 400 mm., the anodic casing 2 remains fixed in practice by using a lever system corresponding to that described above in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2, and having the following dimensions.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate a modification of the embodiment of the suspension system in which the connection from the casing to the anodic beam is by means of double rigid levers, rather than single triangular levers as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-3.
  • FIGS. 4 The system of FIGS. 4 and is somewhat similar to the preceding one illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, except that in lieu of the single triangular levers 14, there is provided an assembly of two bell crank levers 18 and 19, connected to each other by a linking lever 20.
  • the bell crank levers 18 and 19 are pivotally attached at 21 and 22 to the anodic beam 1-3, the connection to the casing 2 is completed by stay rods 13 and a bushing (not illustrated) corresponding to bushing 13b.
  • the connection to the fixed base 17a is completed by struts 16 pivoted at 17.
  • the length of the stay rods 13 is adjustable by means of a nut 13a so that once adjusted the anodic casing 2 remains in the desired position as the beam 11 is lowered.
  • the casing 2 remains at a standstill because of the fact that the individual components of the lever system cooperate with each other so as to displace the stays 13, slidable in bushing 13b, in a direction opposite to the lowering direction movement of the anodic beam.
  • the corresponding displacement of the anodic casing is only about 1 min, i.e. negligible and of no influence on the operation of the furnace.
  • the sum of the vertical projections of rods 13 and 16 on a vertical axis remains practically constant.
  • the vertical displacement of the casing is therefore only 1 mm., i.e. quite negligible.
  • Example 2 By way of a numerical non-limiting example of actual dimensions, with a system according to FIGS. 4 and 5, and for strokes of the anodic beam 11 in the range of, for example, 400 mm., the casing 2 remains fixed in practice with a system of levers having the following dimensions.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 is particularly suitable for anodes of great length, and comprises two pairs of stays 28, 29 connected to the beam 11 by means of a bell crank lever 23 and a linking lever 26.
  • the assembly of this embodiment comprises a strut 16, one end of which is hingedly pivoted on a fixed base 17a at 17, and the other end is pivotally connected with an angular or hell crank lever 23 which can rotate on a pivot 24 fixedly attached to anodic beam 11.
  • the other end of lever 23 is slidingly connected by means of a bushing (similar to 131)) to the stay rod 28.
  • Stay rod 28 is pivotally hinged to casing 2 at 28a, and another pair of stay rods 29 are similarly hinged at 2% to the anodic casing.
  • a horizontal stay rod 25 joints the respective bushings 1311 (not shown in FIG. 6) located on each respective pair of stay rods 28, 29 and a lever arm 26 joins the slidable bushing on rod 29 to a pivot journal 27 which is fixedly attached to beam 11.
  • the four pairs of stays 28, 29 complete the connection 6 between levr's 23, 26 and the casing 2.
  • the casing is supported at eight points, four points being distributed on each side (28a, 29a, 29a, 28a), and the distance between these connecting points are approximately the same on each of the two opposite longitudinal sides along the upper edge 30 of casing 2.
  • the suspension system illustrated in FIGS. 8-10 and 12 supports the casing from the anodic beam 11 by means of a system of rigid levers and still transmission members which are somewhat analogous in principle to the preceding embodiments, but operates in planes which are perpendicular to the two anodic beams instead of in planes parallel thereto, as in the preceding embodiments.
  • the assembly comprises four struts 16, each having one end hinged to a fixed base 17a at 17, and the other end of each lever 16 is pivotally attached to levers 32 (FIGS. 9, 10).
  • Each of the levers 32 is fixedly secured, such as by a key, to the outwardly extending terminal portion of a respective bar 31.
  • Bars 31 are pivotally journalled in supports 34 which are fixedly attached to the anodic beam 11.
  • the inwardly extending end portion of each bar 31 is fixedly secured, such as by a key, to respective levers 33.
  • Stay rods 13' having nuts 13a threaded on their lower extremities, are slidably connected through holes in the upper angles 30 of easing 2.
  • the upper ends of rods 13 are pivotally suspended from the inner extending end portions of bars 31.
  • FIGS. 8-10 and 12 The operation of the embodiment of FIGS. 8-10 and 12 is analogous to that of the previous embodiments, in that if the beam 11 is lowered, the suspension system coacts in such a manner as to leave the casing 2 fixed in a predetermined position.
  • FIGS. 8-10 and 12 which is a preferred embodiment, still further simplifies the application of levers and rods to the present invention.
  • the anodic beam 11 is rigidly connected with the current carrying points supporting the electrode. Consequently, when the anodic beam is lifted or lowered, the carbon anode is correspondingly lifted or lowered.
  • Anodic beam 11 is provided with two supports 34 which carry rod 31 rotatable in bushings located at the ends of the support 34.
  • the rod 31 and arms 32 are mutually rigidly connected by welding or bolting.
  • the arms 32 are connected to the ground at 17 by means of strut 16 which is hinged at both ends.
  • the anode casing 2 is connected at point 13a with hinge 31-32-34 by means of the stay rod 13.
  • the anodic beam 11 is generally moved down in the amount of about 2 centimeters per day to follow the consumption of the carbon electrode.
  • this anodic beam 11 is thus moved vertically to fix the desired position of the anode, the casing should not follow the displacement of the anode, the latter itself being displaceable inside of the casing.
  • the device according to the invention substantially prevents any such movement of the anodic casing.
  • rod 31 is displaced accordingly.
  • the arms 32, rigidly connected with the rod 31, rotate about the axis of rod 31, translating the same along a circumferential are, whose center is point 17 and whose radius is rod 16.
  • the two arms 32 are of the same length, and the linkage point between the respective arms 32 and the rod 16 performs a translation similar to that of the axis of rod 31.
  • the result thereof is that the linking point 13a at which rod 13' is joined to the casing does not itself move vertically.
  • connection illustrated in FIGS. 1- 18 can be applied for suspension of any type of anode, such as rectangular, rectangular with rounded short sides, circular, etc. Depending upon the length of the anode and the distance between the anode and the outer side wall of the electrolytic cell, one or the other of the illustrated suspension systems may be preferable.
  • the suspension system according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is particularly suitable for rather short anodes which are disposed not too far away from the cell wall.
  • the suspension system illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, and 6 and 7, are best suited for long anodes, which are relatively distant from the side wall of the cell, while the suspension system of FIGS. 1 and 2 is best suited for short anodes close to the cell wall.
  • the suspension system of FIGS. 8-10 and 12 is well suited for anodes of any type.
  • the stays 13 or 13 which connect the anodic casing 2 with the respective levers of any of the suspension systems illustrated can be adjusted to any suitable length, corresponding to the desired position or elevation of the casing 2 or, better to say, by means of the nut 1312, it is possible to vary the maximum distance 14e-13', that is, the maximum distance between the beam 11 and the casing.
  • Stay rods 28, 29, and 13 and 13 are all similar in this respect.
  • the position of the casing 2 is maintained in position by means of the threadedly adjustable stays 13, 13', 28 and 29.
  • FIG. 11 illustrates a modification of the suspension system of FIGS. 6 and 7, but is also applicable to any of the suspension systems of FIGS. 1-10.
  • the end of the lever 23 is pivotally attached to a bushing 13b slidable on rod 28.
  • the device of FIG. 11 provides an elastic means to provide the delay necessary for the casing 2 to be restored to its initial position.
  • the carbon anode must itself move inside of the casing 2.
  • the conventional Soederberg anode is composed of a lower cokified portion and of a pasty upper portion (crude paste). It sometimes happens that the cokified or partially cokified portion will strongly adhere to the casing. In such case, when the anodic beam 11 is moved vertically, the casing inevitably will also be dragged in the same direction and consequently rod 31 will be submitted to a torsional stress.
  • FIGS. 13, 14, 15 and 18 illustrate another modification of the suspension system in which concentric hinges are used.
  • Torsion rods r shafts 310 and 310a are mounted concentrically, one Within the other, and parallel to the beam 11a.
  • hollow shaft 310 is journalled in support 34, which is mounted on beam 11a (FIG. 13.)
  • One arm 32 is fixed to the end of inner shaft 310a, and another arm 32a is fixed to the end of the outer shaft 310.
  • the struts or push rods 16, 16a pass through the eyelets in blocks 16b of the respective hinge pins 32 and 32a and are blocked at each end of the pins by nuts.
  • the blocks 16b are integral or rigidly fixed to the respective pins 32' and 32a.
  • the units composed of struts 16 and 16a are freely pivotable in the spaces of the yoke-shaped arms 32 and 32a and are swingable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the beam 11a.
