Method for replacing fused magnesia electrode

The invention relates to the technical field of smelting equipment and provides equipment for replacing a fused magnesia electrode. The equipment comprises a clamping ring, a pulley, a power device, a steel wire, a locking device and a controller, wherein the clamping ring is fixedly arranged at the top of the electrode, the pulley is arranged in a rail right above the electrode, the power device is fixedly arranged on a plane on one side of a smelting furnace and is in data communication with the controller in a wired or wireless manner, one end of the steel wire is connected to the clamping ring while the other end of the same is connected to a rotating shaft of the power device, and the locking device is arranged on the steel wire and is in data communication with the controller in a wireless manner. By the method for replacing the fused magnesia electrode, the process of replacing the fused magnesia electrode during smelting can be simplified, and electrode replacing efficiency is improved.
