Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a field of aluminum smelting, and in particular to an inert anode aluminum electrolytic cell with a vertical structure, which includes: an electrolytic cell shell (1), a heating device (5) and a graphite base (13). The electrolytic cell shell (1) is provided with three insulating layers therein. The heating device (5) is disposed in the groove on the first insulating layer (4) The graphite base (13) is disposed at a bottom of an inner cavity of the electrolytic cell shell (1). A bottom of the graphite base (13) is opened with a mounting slot. The cathode is vertically mounted in the installation slot. The anode (17) is arranged in a staggered manner with the cathodes (16) and is suspended above the electrolytic cell shell (1) by connecting to a guide rod (11). A current of the anode (17) passes through the guide rod (11) and enters an interior of the electrolytic cell shell (1) from a top of the electrolytic cell, and the cathode (16) current is led out of the electrolytic cell shell through a metal electric rod (12). The present disclosure can meet the needs of electrolytic cells of different sizes, and the following problems are solved: the electrolytic cell needs to be heated and thermal insulated when the scale of the electrolytic cell is small; the side walls within the electrolytic cell shell are easily corroded without a protection of a frozen ledge; and the electrolyte melt easily penetrates through the splicing gaps of the furnace to damage the thermal-insulation layer, and there are difficulties in effective conductive connection between a vertical wettable cathode (16) and the bottom of the electrolytic cell.
