Claims21
Handling device to be used to convey an intervention tool configured to perform an intervention on an electrolytic cell having a superstructure, the handling device comprising:
- a chassis carrying the intervention tool and movable above the superstructure;
- and
- a displacement means adapted to allow movement of the chassis wherein the displacement means support the chassis and are adapted to rest against the superstructure.
Intervention device on an electrolytic cell having a superstructure, the intervention device comprising:
- an intervention tool having a mount provided with one or more bearing surfaces allowing the intervention tool to bear and to be stably supported directly upon at least one element of the electrolytic cell in a working position;
- and
- a handling device having a chassis carrying the intervention tool and movable above the superstructure of the electrolytic cell, and displacement means configured to allow movement of the chassis, wherein the displacement means support the chassis and are configured to rest against the superstructure.
An electrolytic cell comprising:
- a superstructure
- an anode frame supported by the superstructure;
- and
- an intervention device comprising:
- an intervention tool having a mount provided with one or more bearing surfaces allowing the intervention tool to bear and to be stably supported directly upon at least one element of the electrolytic cell in a working position;
- and
- a handling device having a chassis carrying the intervention tool and movable above the superstructure of the electrolytic cell, and displacement means configured to allow movement of the chassis, wherein the displacement means support the chassis and are configured to rest against the superstructure, and wherein the superstructure comprises a surface upon which the displacement means are bearing.
