Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of silver electrolysis equipment, and particularly to a silver electrolysis apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In silver electrolytic processing, an anode plate and a corresponding cathode plate are placed on the electrolytic cell. Crude silver is placed on the anode plate, and electrolyte is injected into the electrolytic cell so that the anode plate and cathode plate are immersed in the electrolyte. At the same time, the anode plate and cathode plate are electrically connected.

[0003] Therefore, after the current is applied, the crude silver on the anode plate undergoes a chemical reaction, and the crude silver continuously dissolves into the electrolyte. In addition, silver is continuously deposited on the cathode plate.

[0004] Because anode mud is produced during the dissolution of crude silver, a bag is placed over the anode plate to collect the anode mud.

[0005] When electrolyzing crude silver, especially crude silver with low purity, a large amount of anode mud is generated inside the bag. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the machine periodically and remove the bag from the electrolytic cell.

[0006] However, bagging requires regular cleaning, which prevents continuous production and affects production efficiency. Furthermore, cleaning bagging is troublesome and requires high labor intensity for operators. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a silver electrolysis device that can improve production efficiency, shorten the production cycle, and significantly reduce production costs and labor intensity.

[0008] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a silver electrolysis apparatus includes: a tank for loading an electrolyte, wherein an anode frame and a cathode frame are disposed within the tank and arranged horizontally, the anode frame being loaded with crude silver; a filter membrane disposed within the tank and between adjacent anode and cathode frames, the side of the filter membrane near the anode frame forming an anode chamber and the side of the filter membrane near the cathode frame forming a cathode chamber, the filter membrane being used to block anode sludge generated from the crude silver; and a collection mechanism located at the bottom of the tank, having a first transfer chamber and a second transfer chamber, the first transfer chamber communicating with the anode chamber and being used to collect anode sludge, the second transfer chamber communicating with the cathode chamber and being used to collect silver deposited from the cathode frame.

[0009] A silver electrolysis apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. This invention incorporates a filter membrane that forms an anode chamber and a cathode chamber with the inner wall of the tank. The filter membrane allows only the electrolyte to pass through, ensuring that the crude silver can dissolve properly. Simultaneously, the anode chamber houses the anode holder, and the cathode chamber houses the cathode holder. Thus, the filter membrane can block the anode sludge produced by the crude silver and also block the silver deposited from the cathode holder. This allows the anode sludge and silver to reside separately in the anode chamber and cathode chamber, preventing them from mixing. Consequently, the anode sludge and silver sink to the bottom of the tank, facilitating their collection.

[0011] 2. By setting up a first transfer chamber that is connected to the anode chamber, the present invention can collect the anode mud at the bottom of the anode chamber, thereby replacing the use of bags to load the anode mud. This eliminates the need for manual periodic shutdowns to clean the bagged anode mud, enabling continuous production, improving production efficiency, and shortening the production cycle.

[0012] 3. By setting up a first transfer chamber, the anode mud at the bottom of the anode chamber flows into the first transfer chamber, thereby avoiding the process of operators removing and cleaning the anode bag, greatly reducing labor intensity. At the same time, it avoids the problem of electrolyte loss during the removal and cleaning of the anode bag, and there are no anode bag consumables, reducing production costs.

[0013] 4. By setting up a second transfer chamber that is connected to the cathode chamber, the present invention can collect silver from the bottom of the cathode chamber without stopping the machine to clean the silver in the tank, thus enabling continuous production, improving production efficiency, and shortening the production cycle.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the tank has a first inclined plate and a second inclined plate, the bottom of the first inclined plate and the bottom of the second inclined plate are connected, the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate cooperate to form a V-shaped sedimentation zone, and the first transfer chamber and / or the second transfer chamber are arranged on the side of the first inclined plate away from the second inclined plate.

[0015] The advantage is that by setting up a first inclined plate and a second inclined plate, the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate cooperate to form a V-shaped sedimentation zone, the crude silver continuously dissolves, and anode mud is generated. The anode mud continuously sinks to the sedimentation zone, which can concentrate the anode mud and silver at the bottom of the sedimentation zone, making it convenient for the first transfer chamber and the second transfer chamber to collect the anode mud and silver respectively.

[0016] Preferably, the first transfer compartment is located on the side of the first inclined plate away from the second inclined plate, and the second transfer compartment is located on the side of the second inclined plate away from the first inclined plate, thereby facilitating the arrangement and installation of the first and second transfer compartments.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the tank has a first inclined plate and a second inclined plate, the bottom of the first inclined plate and the bottom of the second inclined plate are connected, the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate cooperate to form a V-shaped sedimentation zone, a first inclined tube is provided on the side of the first inclined plate away from the second inclined plate, the first inclined tube is connected to the first transfer chamber, and a second inclined tube is provided on the side of the second inclined plate away from the first inclined plate, the second inclined tube is connected to the second transfer chamber.

[0018] The advantage is that by setting up the first inclined tube and the second inclined tube, the first inclined tube and the second inclined tube extend along the inclined direction of the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate respectively, and the silver and anode mud on the inclined plate can flow out along the inclined tube, thereby enabling the inclined tube to collect silver and anode mud to the maximum extent.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the anode frame has a first cavity for accommodating crude silver, a first screen is disposed on one side of the first cavity, and a movable frame is also disposed in the first cavity. The movable frame is located on the side of the crude silver away from the first screen, and the movable frame abuts against the crude silver so that the crude silver abuts against the first screen.

[0020] The advantage is that by setting up a first chamber, crude silver can be placed inside the first chamber, and the first chamber is equipped with a first screen that can be electrically connected to the anode, so that the crude silver dissolves in the first chamber. When the crude silver becomes smaller, new crude silver should be added. Therefore, no residual anode is generated, and production efficiency is improved.

[0021] Meanwhile, by setting up a movable frame, the crude silver can be made into a plate shape, so that the movable frame and the first screen hold the crude silver plate in the horizontal direction, thereby making the crude silver plate have good electrical conductivity and improving the dissolution rate of the crude silver plate.

[0022] According to some embodiments of the present invention, one of the anode frame and the movable frame is provided with a ramp, and the other of the anode frame and the movable frame is provided with a first shaft, the first shaft moving along the ramp to move the movable frame closer to or away from the coarse silver.

[0023] The advantage is that by setting up an inclined chute and a first shaft, when the coarse silver plate melts and becomes thinner, the first shaft moves along the inclined direction of the inclined chute under the weight of the movable frame, so that the movable frame and the first screen keep clamping the coarse silver plate, thereby causing the entire coarse silver plate to melt.

[0024] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the top of the tank is provided with a translation frame and a first power member that drives the translation frame to move horizontally. The translation frame is provided with a lifting part, which abuts against the movable frame to lift the movable frame.

[0025] The advantages are: by setting up a lifting part, which can be a cam, and the translation frame can be equipped with rollers, the translation frame can move the rollers along the low point to the high point of the cam, which can lift the movable frame upwards and add the coarse silver plate into the first cavity. This replaces the manual removal of the movable frame, reduces the difficulty of operation, and enables continuous silver electrolysis processing.

[0026] Meanwhile, the first power component can be an electric motor, which is installed on the translation frame. A gear is installed at the output end of the motor, and the gear meshes with the rack to drive the translation frame horizontally. Alternatively, a cylinder can be used to drive the translation frame.

[0027] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the translation frame has a scraper for scraping off silver from the cathode frame.

[0028] The advantage is that by setting up a scraper, the silver on the cathode holder can be scraped off, thus facilitating the collection of silver from the cathode holder.

[0029] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the anode frame includes a frame and a housing located within the frame. The frame is an inverted door frame shape. The frame is provided with two opposing first suspension rods, which overlap the tank. The housing is used to accommodate the coarse silver.

[0030] Advantageously, by setting up a frame and a shell, the shell is used to contain the crude silver, the frame can support the shell, and the shell is immersed in the electrolyte.

[0031] Meanwhile, by setting a first suspension rod that overlaps the tank body, it is convenient to remove the anode frame.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second mesh screen is provided at the bottom of the housing.

[0033] The advantage is that by setting up a second screen, the bottom of the coarse silver plate can be fully in contact with the electrolyte, which is beneficial to the dissolution of the coarse silver plate.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the frame is provided with a first channel, the first channel connecting the second screen and the anode chamber.

[0035] The advantage is that by setting up the first channel, the anode mud at the bottom of the second screen can enter the anode chamber through the first channel, thus avoiding the accumulation of anode mud at the bottom of the first screen.

[0036] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0050] A silver electrolysis apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a silver electrolysis device, comprising a tank 100, a filter membrane 140, and a collection mechanism.

[0052] The tank 100 is used to hold electrolyte. An anode frame 110 and a cathode frame 120 are provided inside the tank 100. The anode frame 110 and the cathode frame 120 are arranged in a horizontal direction. The anode frame 110 is loaded with crude silver 130.

[0053] Therefore, the anode holder 110 is electrically connected to the anode, and the cathode holder 120 is electrically connected to the cathode. After energizing, the crude silver 130 is immersed in the electrolyte. The crude silver 130 continuously dissolves to produce silver ions and anode mud, and silver is deposited in the cathode holder 120.

[0054] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments of the present invention, the anode holder 110 has a first cavity for accommodating crude silver 130. A first screen 260 is provided on one side of the first cavity. The first cavity is also provided with a movable frame 270, which is located on the side of the crude silver 130 away from the first screen 260. The movable frame 270 abuts against the crude silver 130 so that the crude silver 130 abuts against the first screen 260.

[0055] By setting up a first cavity, crude silver 130 can be placed inside the first cavity. The first cavity is equipped with a first screen 260, which can be electrically connected to the anode, so that the crude silver 130 dissolves in the first cavity. When the crude silver becomes smaller, new crude silver should be added. Therefore, no residual anode is generated, and production efficiency is improved.

[0056] Meanwhile, by setting up the movable frame 270, the crude silver can be made into a plate shape, so that the movable frame 270 and the first screen 260 horizontally clamp the crude silver 130 plate, thereby making the crude silver 130 plate have good contact conductivity and improving the dissolution rate of the crude silver 130 plate.

[0057] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, one of the anode holder 110 and the movable holder 270 is provided with a ramp 280, and the other of the anode holder 110 and the movable holder 270 is provided with a first shaft 290, which moves along the ramp 280 to move the movable holder 270 closer to or further away from the coarse silver 130.

[0058] Preferably, the anode frame 110 is provided with an inclined rail 280, and the movable frame 270 is provided with a first shaft 290. When the crude silver 130 plate melts and becomes thinner, under the action of the weight of the movable frame 270, the first shaft 290 moves along the inclined direction of the inclined rail 280, so that the movable frame 270 and the first screen 260 keep clamping the crude silver 130 plate, thereby causing the entire crude silver 130 plate to melt.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, a translation frame 300 is provided on the top of the tank 100, and a first power member is provided to drive the translation frame 300 to move horizontally. The translation frame 300 is provided with a lifting part, which abuts against the movable frame 270 to lift the movable frame 270.

[0060] By setting up a lifting part, which can be a cam 310, and the translation frame 300 can be equipped with rollers 320, the translation frame 300 can move the rollers 320 along the low point to the high point of the cam 310, which can lift the movable frame 270 upwards and add the crude silver 130 plate into the first cavity. This replaces the manual extraction of the movable frame 270, reduces the difficulty of operation, and enables continuous silver electrolysis processing.

[0061] Meanwhile, the first power component can be an electric motor, which is installed on the translation frame 300. A gear is installed at the output end of the motor, and the gear meshes with the rack to drive the translation frame 300 horizontally. Alternatively, a cylinder can be used to drive the translation frame 300.

[0062] In some embodiments of the invention, the translation frame 300 has a scraper 190 for scraping silver off the cathode frame 120.

[0063] By setting up a scraper 190, the scraper 190 can scrape the silver off the cathode holder 120, thereby facilitating the collection of the silver from the cathode holder 120.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the anode frame 110 includes a frame 330 and a housing 340 located inside the frame 330. The frame 330 is an inverted door frame shape. The frame 330 is provided with two opposing first suspension rods 350. The first suspension rods 350 overlap the tank 100. The housing 340 is used to accommodate crude silver 130.

[0065] By setting a frame 330 and a housing 340, the housing 340 is used to contain crude silver 130, the frame 330 can support the housing 340, and the housing 340 is immersed in the electrolyte.

[0066] Meanwhile, by setting a first suspension rod 350, which overlaps the tank body 100, it is convenient to remove the anode frame 110.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, a second mesh screen is provided at the bottom of the housing 340.

[0068] By setting a second screen, the bottom of the crude silver 130 plate can be fully in contact with the electrolyte, which is beneficial to the dissolution of the crude silver 130 plate.

[0069] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the frame 330 is provided with a first channel 370, which connects the second screen and the anode chamber 150.

[0070] By setting the first channel 370, the anode mud at the bottom of the second screen can enter the anode chamber 150 through the first channel 370, thus preventing the accumulation of anode mud at the bottom of the first screen 260.

[0071] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the cathode frame 120 has a cathode plate, and the cathode plate is provided with second suspension rods 390 at both ends. The top of the trough 100 is provided with a second limiting groove, which accommodates the second suspension rods 390.

[0072] By setting up a cathode plate, which is electrically connected to the cathode, the cathode plate can be made of titanium or 316 stainless steel, allowing silver to be deposited on the cathode plate, while also making it easy for the scraper 190 to scrape off the silver.

[0073] By setting a second suspension rod 390, which overlaps the tank 100, it is convenient to remove the cathode frame 120.

[0074] The filter membrane 140 is disposed in the tank 100 and between adjacent anode holders 110 and cathode holders 120. The side of the filter membrane 140 near the anode holder 110 forms an anode chamber 150, and the side of the filter membrane 140 near the cathode holder 120 forms a cathode chamber 160. The filter membrane 140 is used to block the anode mud generated by the coarse silver 130.

[0075] The filter membrane 140 can be made of sintered metal mesh with a filtration precision of about 10 microns. The sintered mesh can be made of titanium or 316 stainless steel, or it can be made of microporous polymer filter membrane 140, so that the filter membrane 140 can block the anode mud generated by coarse silver 130.

[0076] The collection mechanism, located at the bottom of the tank 100, has a first transfer chamber 170 and a second transfer chamber 180. The first transfer chamber 170 is connected to the anode chamber 150 and is used to collect anode mud. The second transfer chamber 180 is connected to the cathode chamber 160 and is used to collect silver deposited from the cathode holder 120.

[0077] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the tank 100 has a first inclined plate 210 and a second inclined plate 220, the bottom of the first inclined plate 210 and the bottom of the second inclined plate 220 are connected, and the first inclined plate 210 and the second inclined plate 220 cooperate to form a V-shaped sedimentation zone 200.

[0078] Therefore, crude silver 130 continuously dissolves and produces anode mud, which continuously sinks to the sedimentation zone 200, allowing the anode mud and silver to concentrate at the bottom of the sedimentation zone 200, making it convenient for the first transfer chamber 170 and the second transfer chamber 180 to collect the anode mud and silver respectively.

[0079] Furthermore, a first transfer compartment 170 is provided on the side of the first inclined plate 210 away from the second inclined plate 220, and a second transfer compartment 180 is provided on the side of the second inclined plate 220 away from the first inclined plate 210, thereby facilitating the arrangement and installation of the first transfer compartment 170 and the second transfer compartment 180.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the tank 100 has a first inclined plate 210 and a second inclined plate 220, the bottom of the first inclined plate 210 and the bottom of the second inclined plate 220 are connected, the first inclined plate 210 and the second inclined plate 220 cooperate to form a V-shaped sedimentation zone 200, a first inclined tube 240 is provided on the side of the first inclined plate 210 away from the second inclined plate 220, the first inclined tube 240 is connected to the first transfer chamber 170, and a second inclined tube 250 is provided on the side of the second inclined plate 220 away from the first inclined plate 210, the second inclined tube 250 is connected to the second transfer chamber 180.

[0081] By setting the first inclined tube 240 and the second inclined tube 250, the first inclined tube 240 and the second inclined tube 250 extend along the inclined direction of the first inclined plate 210 and the second inclined plate 220 respectively, and the silver and anode mud on the inclined plate can flow out along the inclined tube, thereby enabling the inclined tube to collect silver and anode mud to the maximum extent.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, both the first inclined tube 240 and the second inclined tube 250 are provided with switching valves.

[0083] By installing a switch valve on the first inclined tube 240, when the switch valve is open, the first inclined tube 240 is connected to the first transfer chamber 170 and the anode chamber 150, thereby allowing the anode mud in the anode chamber 150 to enter the first transfer chamber 170 from the first inclined tube 240. When the switch valve is closed, the first transfer chamber 170 is disconnected from the anode chamber 150.

[0084] By installing a switch valve on the second inclined tube 250, when the switch valve is open, the second inclined tube 250 is connected to the second transfer chamber 180 and the cathode chamber 160, so that the silver deposited in the cathode chamber 160 enters the second transfer chamber 180 from the second inclined tube 250. When the switch valve is closed, the second transfer chamber 180 is disconnected from the cathode chamber 160.

[0085] Therefore, this embodiment has the following effects:

[0086] 1. This invention utilizes a filter membrane 140, which forms an anode chamber 150 and a cathode chamber 160 with the inner wall of the tank 100. The filter membrane 140 only allows the electrolyte to pass through, ensuring that the crude silver 130 can dissolve normally. At the same time, the anode chamber 150 houses the anode holder 110, and the cathode chamber 160 houses the cathode holder 120. Thus, the filter membrane 140 can block the anode sludge generated by the crude silver 130, and it can also block the silver precipitated from the cathode holder 120. This allows the anode sludge and silver to be located in the anode chamber 150 and cathode chamber 160 respectively, preventing them from mixing. Consequently, the anode sludge and silver sink to the bottom of the tank 100, facilitating their collection.

[0087] 2. By setting up a first transfer chamber 170, which is connected to the anode chamber 150, the first transfer chamber 170 can collect the anode mud at the bottom of the anode chamber 150. This replaces the use of bags to load the anode mud, eliminating the need for manual periodic shutdowns to clean the bagged anode mud, enabling continuous production, improving production efficiency, and shortening the production cycle.

[0088] 3. By setting up a first transfer chamber 170, the anode mud at the bottom of the anode chamber 150 flows into the first transfer chamber 170, thereby avoiding the process of operators removing and cleaning the bag, greatly reducing labor intensity. At the same time, it avoids the problem of electrolyte loss during the bag removal and cleaning process, and there are no bag consumables, reducing production costs.

[0089] 4. By setting up a second transfer chamber 180, which is connected to the cathode chamber 160, the second transfer chamber 180 can collect silver at the bottom of the cathode chamber 160 without stopping the machine to clean the silver in the tank, thus enabling continuous production, improving production efficiency, and shortening the production cycle.
