Definitions
- the invention relates to plants for the production of aluminum by igneous electrolysis according to the Hall-Héroult process. It relates more particularly to the handling devices used in said factories.
- Aluminum metal is produced industrially by igneous electrolysis, namely by electrolysis of alumina in solution in a bath of molten cryolite, called electrolyte bath, according to the well-known Hall-Héroult process.
- the electrolysis cells intended for the production of aluminum comprise a tank provided with cathodes and anodes in carbonaceous material partially immersed in the electrolyte bath.
- the tank comprises a steel box, covering elements made of refractory materials and a cathode assembly located at the bottom of the tank.
- French patent application FR 2 806 742 (corresponding to American patent US 6 409 894) describes in more detail the typical structure of factories intended for the production of aluminum and the cells which they contain.
- an electrolysis plant requires interventions on the electrolysis cells, such as anode changes and cell repairs.
- the most modern factories are equipped with lifting and handling units comprising an overhead crane, which can be translated above and along the electrolysis cells, and at least one trolley. fitted with handling and intervention devices.
- the repair of a tank includes operations of "unbrasking” and “rebrasking” of these. These operations are intended to renew the crucible formed by the interior lining and cathode elements of the tank. These operations can be carried out on site, that is to say without removing the cell from the corresponding cell, but they can adversely affect the functioning of the cells and the maintenance of the electrolysis rooms. In fact, these operations generate dust, cause new and used materials to come and go in the electrolysis rooms and reduce the production of a series of cells by stopping the corresponding cell during the work. In order to avoid these drawbacks, it is preferable to carry out the repair of the tanks in a specific room intended for the repair of the tanks and situated outside the electrolysis room.
- the lifting and handling units used to transport the electrolysis cells between the repair room and the electrolysis room (s) generally include one or two carriages fitted with lifting means.
- one or more spreaders are generally fixed to the tank casing and the tank is handled by means of the spreader (s).

- the Applicant has had the idea of stiffening the tank using at least one rigid element, namely said frame, interposed between the tank and the lifting and handling unit and rigidly fixed in several places of the box. tank.
- the reinforcement allows the deformation of the tank casing to be maintained - in particular by longitudinal bending (that is to say in the long direction of the tank) - within a determined tolerance range when it is suspended by a unit of lifting and handling and thus avoid damage to the inner lining of the tank during tank handling operations.
- the distribution of the plurality of fastening means on the frame distributes the load on the frame, in particular in the direction of the length of the tank, and thus makes it possible to minimize the deformation of the box under the effect of the weight of the together by bringing this deformation closer to that of the device.
- the determined fixing locations are typically distributed over a determined portion of the periphery of the box. This portion typically covers at least 70% of the long sides of the tank, in order to minimize the "floating" (not fixed) part of the tank.
- the deflection deflection of the armature is preferably less than ⁇ 5 mm over the entire length of the armature (in the direction along the tank), and more preferably less than or equal to ⁇ 2 mm.
- the frame comprises one or two longitudinal beams intended to be arranged in the direction of the length of the tank.
- the beam is typically provided with arms and the fixing means are located at the end of these arms.
- the beams are preferably parallel to each other and are linked by at least one cross member, and the fixing means are preferably distributed over the beams, possibly at the end of the arms, so to allow the attachment of each beam to the corresponding long side of the tank.
- the handling device further comprises adjustable spacers intended to compensate for any geometry faults of the frame and / or of the box.
