FIELD: electrical engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to connector for mechanical and electrical connection of anode with anode cell frame for aluminum production by fire electrolysis method equipped with fastening hooks, intended for interaction with connector. Connector for mechanical and electrical connection of anode with anode frame of cell for production of aluminum by fire electrolysis, wherein anode frame is equipped with fastening hooks intended for interaction with connector, comprising two levers in form of brackets or clamps, pivotally connected on common rod, corresponding extensions of which extend inside said hooks, wherein said levers are configured to be actuated in opposite directions at the level of their free ends by means of a coupling screw with two zones of the opposite pitch, interacting at the level of rear crossbars connecting said free ends of staples, wherein pressure surface of connector, which is a zone, intended for interaction with anode rod with provision of its connection with anode frame, is formed by two pressing elements different from brackets or clamps and from front and rear crossbars, rigidly connecting between said brackets or clamps, and located on both sides of rod of articulated connection of levers or clamps, wherein pressing surface of each of two pressure elements interacts with hinge installed on end of front crossbars connecting two brackets or clamp, forming connector, wherein each of the pressing elements is made in the form of two branches in essence U-shaped, at that free ends of the branches are interconnected by the plate, and the base U is connected to the corresponding pressure surface.
EFFECT: efficient attachment of anodes to prevent their falling into the cell with possibility of their damage and for aluminum production and optimization of electrical connection to limit voltage drop at level of contact due to very strong currents passing through each of anodes.
