When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only embodiment.
[0035] See also Figures 1 to 10 In an embodiment of the present invention, a lithium carbonate drying device comprises a drying box 1, a storage box 3 connected to the drying box 1 is fixed on the drying box 1, and the lithium carbonate drying device further comprises:
[0036] The reaction box 2 is used to prepare lithium carbonate and is fixedly installed on the drying box 1. Through grooves are provided on both sides of the reaction box 2. The bottom of the reaction box 2 is a through structure and is provided with a slide groove. A sealing plate 10 symmetrically arranged for closing the reaction box 2 is slidably installed in the slide groove. A heating pipe is provided in the drying box 1, and the lithium carbonate can be dried when the lithium carbonate is placed in the drying box 1. The drying box 1 is also provided with a controller, and the switch of the heating pipe is controlled under the action of the controller. In the initial state, the two sealing plates 10 are in a tightly fitted state. Under the action of the sealing plate 10, the bottom of the reaction box 2 is in a closed state. A resistance heater is provided in the reaction box 2. When lithium carbonate is prepared by the sulfuric acid method, Li 2 SO 4 The solution was placed in the reaction box 2 and heated to 90°C by the resistance heater. At the same time, Na 2 CO 3 Saturated solution, and continuously measure the pH value of the solution during the addition process. 2 CO 3 The addition of saturated solution will react with Li 2 SO 4 The solution reacts and generates lithium carbonate precipitate and Na 2 SO 4 The pH of the solution can be measured by a pH meter. The pH meter and the resistance heater are applications of the prior art and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0037] See also Figure 1-3 Preferably, when preparing lithium carbonate by sulfuric acid method, spodumene is roasted, then crushed and sieved to obtain ore powder, sulfuric acid solution is added to the ore powder to obtain a crude solution, excess sulfuric acid is neutralized with calcium carbonate to adjust the pH of the crude solution to 6.5, and then filtered to obtain a lithium sulfate solution, and then a hydrogen peroxide solution is added to the lithium sulfate solution to oxidize ferrous ions into ferric ions, and then a 30% sodium hydroxide solution is added to the solution until the pH of the solution is 12, Mg and Fe in the solution form magnesium hydroxide and ferric hydroxide precipitates, and the precipitate is filtered and adjusted to pH 7 with dilute sulfuric acid to form aluminum hydroxide precipitates in the solution, and after filtering the precipitate, lime milk and excess sodium carbonate are used to remove calcium ions and other residual metal ions, and the filtrate is evaporated and concentrated to obtain a Li2SO4 solution, at which time the pH of the Li2SO4 solution is 12, and as Na 2 CO 3 With the addition of saturated solution, the pH of the mixed solution will gradually decrease. When the pH of the mixed solution is 9, Na 2 CO 3 Stop adding saturated solution.
[0038] See also Figure 1-3 A stirring assembly is arranged on the reaction box 2. The stirring assembly can stir the reactants when the reactants are added into the reaction box 2. The stirring assembly includes a No. 1 motor 4 fixedly mounted on the reaction box 2. A stirring rod 5 connected to the output shaft of the No. 1 motor 4 is rotatably mounted in the reaction box 2. A plurality of stirring blades 6 arranged equidistantly in a circle are fixed on the stirring rod 5.
[0039] It should be noted that the stirring blades 6 are arranged equidistantly around the circumference, and there are three groups of stirring blades arranged equidistantly. When the Li2SO4 solution is placed in the reaction box 2, Na 2 CO 3 Saturated solution, in order to speed up the reaction rate and accurately measure the pH of the solution, it is necessary to stir the solution in the reaction box 2. At this time, the No. 1 motor 4 works, driving the stirring rod 5 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring blade 6 to rotate. Under the action of the stirring blade 6, the solution is stirred. When the pH of the mixed solution drops to 9, stop adding Na 2 CO 3 The saturated solution, the No. 1 motor 4 continues to work, and after stirring the mixed solution for thirty minutes, if the pH of the solution does not change, it means that the reaction is completed. At this time, the No. 1 motor 4 stops working, and the generated lithium carbonate will gradually precipitate and fall onto the sealing plate 10.
[0040] See also Figure 8 , Fig.10The reaction box 2 is provided with a filter assembly that cooperates with the through groove. The filter assembly includes a limit frame 7 that is fixedly installed in the reaction box 2 and is symmetrically arranged. A limit card plate 8 is movably engaged with the limit frame 7. A filter membrane 9 is clamped between the limit frame 7 and the limit card plate 8, and the filter membrane 9 cooperates with the through groove.
[0041] Furthermore, through grooves are provided on both sides of the reaction box 2. Since the reactants will generate lithium carbonate solid during the reaction process, the solution needs to be separated from the lithium carbonate after the reaction is completed. The filter membrane 9 can filter the mixed solution and the lithium carbonate. In the initial state, the limiting card plate 8 and the limiting frame 7 are in a separated state. When the filter membrane 9 needs to be clamped, the filter membrane 9 is placed on the limiting frame 7, and the limiting card plate 8 is pressed into the limiting frame 7. Under the action of the limiting frame 7 and the limiting card plate 8, the filter membrane 9 is fixed. The size of the filter membrane 9 is larger than the size of the through groove. Under the action of the filter membrane 9, the through groove is completely covered, thereby ensuring that the mixed solution will not be discharged through the through groove before filtration. Among them, the limiting card plate 8 is made of elastic material. When the limiting card plate 8 cooperates with the limiting frame 7, it can be completely fitted with the limiting frame 7, thereby fixing the filter membrane 9.
[0042] See also Figure 1-3 , Figure 8-9 The reaction box 2 is also provided with a regulating mechanism connected to the sealing plate 10, and the regulating mechanism is used to switch the closed and conducting states of the through groove, and drive the sealing plates 10 to move closer to or away from each other. The regulating mechanism includes a sealing component arranged on the reaction box 2 and symmetrically arranged, an arc-shaped rack plate 14 fixedly installed on the sealing component and symmetrically arranged, and a transverse rack plate 15 fixedly installed on the sealing plate 10 and meshing with the arc-shaped rack plate 14. The sealing component cooperates with the through groove, wherein the sealing component includes a hinged plate 11 hinged on the reaction box 2 and cooperates with the through groove, a fixed plate 12 is fixed on the hinged plate 11, and a cylinder 13 hinged to the fixed plate 12 is hinged on the reaction box 2, and the hinged plate 11 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped rack plate 14.
[0043] Furthermore, the middle of the storage box 3 is connected to the drying box 1, and the two sides of the storage box 3 are located below the through groove. The hinged plate 11 is convexly arranged toward one side of the reaction box 2. During the reaction of the reactants, the through groove needs to be closed to ensure that the solution will not be discharged through the through groove. In the initial state, the arc-shaped rack plate 14 and the transverse rack plate 15 are in a separated state. Under the action of the cylinder 13, the hinged plate 11 is tightly fitted to the surface of the reaction box 2 through the fixed plate 12, and the protruding position of the hinged plate 11 enters the through groove and fits tightly with the through groove, thereby closing the through groove. At this time, the solution in the reaction box 2 will not leak out of the reaction box 2. After the reaction of the reactants in the reaction box 2 is completed, the solution in the reaction box 2 can be allowed to settle for a certain period of time, so that the lithium carbonate is precipitated on the sealing plate 10. At the same time, the cylinder 13 works and drives the hinged plate 11 to rotate a certain angle around the hinge point through the fixed plate 12. The degree of the residual solution after the reaction is filtered under the action of the filter membrane 9 and discharged through the through groove. The discharged solution will fall into the storage box 3. When the solution is discharged, there is wet lithium carbonate remaining in the reaction box 2. At this time, the lithium carbonate needs to be washed with water. Pure water is added to the reaction box 2, and the water in the reaction box 2 is discharged through the filter membrane 9. After washing several times, the lithium carbonate in the reaction box 2 needs to be discharged and transported into the storage box 16. At this time, the cylinder 13 works again and drives the hinged plate 11 to rotate through the fixed plate 12, so that the arc-shaped rack plate 14 moves. When the arc-shaped rack plate 14 moves to the meshing position with the transverse rack plate 15, under the action of the arc-shaped rack plate 14, the two sealing plates 10 fixed with the transverse rack plate 15 are driven to move toward a position away from each other, so that the lithium carbonate placed on the sealing plate 10 is separated from the reaction box 2 and enters the storage box 16.
[0044] See also Figure 4 , Figure 6 , a storage box 16 is arranged in the drying box 1, the storage box 16 is used to hold lithium carbonate and transport lithium carbonate to the drying box 1, a reciprocating mechanism connected to the storage box 16 is arranged in the drying box 1, the reciprocating mechanism can drive the storage box 16 to reciprocate along the length direction of the drying box 1, the reciprocating mechanism includes a No. 2 motor 20 fixedly mounted on the drying box 1, a transmission rod 21 rotatably mounted in the drying box 1 and connected to the output shaft of the No. 2 motor 20, and a guide groove 22 provided on the transmission rod 21, a guide assembly connected to the guide groove 22 is arranged in the drying box 1, and the guide assembly is fixedly connected to the storage box 16, wherein the guide assembly includes a guide rod 17 fixedly mounted in the drying box 1 and symmetrically arranged, a guide sleeve 18 is movably mounted on the guide rod 17, a rhombus block 19 engaged with the guide groove 22 is rotatably mounted on the guide sleeve 18, and the guide sleeve 18 is fixedly connected to the storage box 16.
[0045] Furthermore, the guide groove 22 can be divided into four sections, the first section is the first thread groove, the second section is the first semi-annular groove, the third section is the second thread groove connected to the first semi-annular groove, and the fourth section is the second semi-annular groove connected to the first thread groove and the second thread groove. The first thread groove and the second thread groove are arranged to intersect, and the diamond block 19 is arranged in a diamond shape. In the initial state, the diamond block 19 is located in the first semi-annular groove. At this time, the guide sleeve 18 is located at the end of the stroke on the guide rod 17 toward the reaction box 2. The storage box 16 is located directly below the storage box 3. A valve is provided at the bottom of the storage box 16 for controlling the release of lithium carbonate. When the sealing plates 10 move away from each other, the lithium carbonate in the reaction box 2 will enter the storage box 16. When the lithium carbonate completely enters the storage box 16, the No. 2 motor 20 works at this time, driving the transmission rod 21 to rotate, thereby driving the guide groove 22 to rotate. Under the action of the guide groove 22, the diamond block 19 enters the first thread groove through the first semi-annular groove and drives the guide sleeve 18 along The guide rod 17 moves in the length direction, and at the same time, the valve at the bottom of the storage box 16 opens, and the lithium carbonate in the storage box 16 is evenly transported to the bottom of the drying box 1. When the diamond block 19 moves to the connection position between the first thread groove and the second thread groove, due to its diamond shape, the diamond block 19 will not be separated from the first thread groove, and moves in the first thread groove, so that the storage box 16 continues to move along the length direction of the guide rod 17, so that the lithium carbonate is evenly spread in the drying box 1. When the lithium carbonate is spread, the diamond block 19 has not moved to the second semi-annular groove. When the diamond block 19 enters the second semi-annular groove, the storage box 16 moves to the end of the stroke away from the reaction box 2. When it is necessary to drive the reaction box 2 to move toward the initial position, the transmission rod 21 continues to rotate, so that the diamond block 19 enters the second thread groove to drive the guide sleeve 18 to move toward the initial position. At this time, the diamond block 19 will always move in the second thread groove until the diamond block 19 enters the first semi-annular groove again.
[0046] See also Figure 4-7, a swing rod 30 is rotatably installed in the storage box 16 and is symmetrically arranged, a push plate 31 symmetrically arranged is fixed on the swing rod 30, and a swing mechanism connected to the swing rod 30 is provided on the storage box 16, the swing mechanism includes a hollow rod 23 rotatably installed on the storage box 16 and symmetrically arranged, a sliding assembly arranged on the storage box 16 and connected to the hollow rod 23, a spring 28 fixedly installed in the hollow rod 23 and abutting against the sliding assembly, a limiting wheel 26 is rotatably installed on the sliding assembly, the limiting wheel 26 abuts against the swing rod 30, and the hollow rod 23 is connected to the limiting assembly, wherein the sliding assembly includes a slot 24 opened on the hollow rod 23, a movable rod 25 movably installed in the hollow rod 23, a limiting block 27 fixedly installed on the movable rod 25 and engaged with the slot 24, the movable rod 25 abuts against the spring 28 and is rotatably connected to the limiting wheel 26.
[0047] To go further, the rotating shafts of the hollow rod 23 and the swing rod 30 are located at the central axis position of one side of the storage box 16. When the storage box 16 is located directly below the storage box 3, under the action of the limiting assembly, the hollow rod 23 swings toward one end of the storage box 3 to the side away from the No. 2 motor 20, and the other end of the hollow rod 23 swings to the side facing the No. 2 motor 20. The spring 28 is in a compressed state. Under the action of the spring 28, the movable rod 25 is located at the end of the stroke away from the hollow rod 23. At this time, the limiting wheel 26 abuts against the swing rod 30 on one side of the No. 2 motor 20, and drives the swing rod 30 to rotate a certain angle around the rotation point and then abut against the limiting assembly, so that one of the push plates 31 is located near the bottom of the drying box 1, and the other push plate 31 is located away from the bottom of the drying box 1, and the push plate 31 close to the drying box 1 is not in contact with the drying box 1. When the transmission rod 21 rotates, it drives the push plate 31 maintains this position and moves along the length direction of the drying box 1. The push plate 31 will not interfere with the lithium carbonate spread on the bottom of the drying box 1. When the hollow rod 23 quickly moves to the end of the stroke away from the reaction box 2, the limit assembly cooperates with the hollow rod 23 again and drives the hollow rod 23 to swing toward the other side of the central axis, thereby driving the movable rod 25 to move, so that the limit wheel 26 slides on the swing rod 30. The movable rod 25 will also drive the limit block 27 to slide in the slot 24 and compress the spring 28. When the limit wheel 26 moves to the center position of the swing rod 30, the spring 28 reaches the maximum compression amount, and the hollow rod 23 continues to rotate, so that the limit wheel 26 moves to the other side of the swing rod 30, and under the action of the spring 28, drives the swing rod 30 to swing toward the other side of the central axis, thereby adjusting the height of the two push plates 31, so that the push plate 31 at the lower position rises and the push plate 31 at the higher position falls.
[0048] See also Figure 4-7A limit assembly connected to the swing mechanism and the swing rod 30 is provided in the drying box 1, and the limit assembly can drive the swing mechanism to move to adjust the angle of the swing rod 30. The limit assembly includes a limit rod 29 fixedly installed on the side of the hollow rod 23 away from the movable rod 25, a limit plate 34 fixedly installed in the drying box 1 and symmetrically arranged, and a No. 1 gear rod 32 and a No. 2 gear rod 33 fixedly installed on the storage box 16 and symmetrically arranged. The No. 1 gear rod 32 abuts against the swing rod 30, and the No. 2 gear rod 33 abuts against the hollow rod 23, and the limit plate 34 cooperates with the limit rod 29.
[0049] Finally, the second gear lever 33 is located on both sides of the central axis and is equidistant from the central axis. The first gear lever 32 is also located on both sides of the central axis. The distance between the first gear lever 32 facing the second motor 20 and the central axis is greater than the distance between the other first gear lever 32 and the central axis. In the initial state, the limit plate 34 abuts against the limit rod 29, so that the hollow rod 23 swings, and stops swinging after the hollow rod 23 swings to the abutment position with the second gear lever 33. Under the action of the limit wheel 26, the swing rod 30 swings to a position away from the central axis. When the storage box 16 transports lithium carbonate and moves to the other side of the drying box 1, the limit plate 34 on the other side of the drying box 1 will abut against the limit rod 29, and the storage box 16 continues to move, so that the hollow rod 23 fixed with the limit rod 29 swings to the other side of the central axis, thereby driving the swing rod 30 to swing to the other side of the central axis and abut against the No. 1 gear rod 32 closer to the central axis. At this time, the swing angle of the swing rod 30 is larger, so that the push plate 31 on the side of the No. 1 gear rod 32 drops to a greater height. The push plate 31 is located at the end of the travel away from the bottom of the drying box 1. In order to fully dry the lithium carbonate, the lithium carbonate needs to be turned over. At this time, the storage box 16 moves toward the reaction box 2, and under the action of the push plate 31, the lithium carbonate spread on the bottom of the drying box 1 is pushed to the direction of the reaction box 2, and the lithium carbonate is located between the two push plates 31. When the storage box 16 moves to the end of the travel, the swing arm 30 swings again to abut against the No. 1 gear lever 32 far away from the central axis, so that the No. 1 gear lever 32 is located at the end of the travel. The push plate 31 on the side moves to a position toward the bottom of the drying box 1, and a certain gap is left with the bottom. The other push plate 31 is located away from the bottom of the drying box 1. At this time, the storage box 16 moves again in the direction away from the reaction box 2, and under the action of the push plate 31, the accumulated lithium carbonate is spread on the bottom of the drying box 1 again. When the storage box 16 moves to the end of the stroke, the spreading of the lithium carbonate is completed, and the positions of the two push plates 31 are changed again to continue drying the lithium carbonate. The above steps are repeated, and after stacking and spreading several times, the lithium carbonate is completely dried.
[0050] Taking the embodiment of the combination of all the features described in this application as an example, when in use, under the action of the cylinder 13, the hinge plate 11 is tightly fitted with the surface of the reaction box 2 through the fixing plate 12, and the protruding part of the hinge plate 11 enters the through groove and fits tightly with the through groove, thereby closing the through groove and sealing the Li 2 SO 4 The solution was placed in the reaction box 2 and heated to 90°C by the resistance heater. At the same time, Na 2 CO 3 Saturated solution, and continuously measure the pH value of the solution during the addition process. 2 CO 3 The addition of saturated solution will react with Li 2 SO 4 The solution reacts and generates lithium carbonate precipitate and Na 2 SO 4 At the same time, in order to speed up the reaction rate and accurately measure the pH of the solution, it is necessary to stir the solution in the reaction box 2. At this time, the No. 1 motor 4 works, driving the stirring rod 5 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring blade 6 to rotate. Under the action of the stirring blade 6, the solution is stirred. When the pH of the mixed solution drops to 9, stop adding Na 2 CO 3Saturated solution, motor 4 continues to work, and stirs the mixed solution for thirty minutes. If the pH of the solution does not change, it means that the reaction is completed. At this time, motor 4 stops working, and the generated lithium carbonate will gradually precipitate and fall onto the sealing plate 10. The cylinder 13 works and drives the hinge plate 11 to rotate a certain angle around the hinge point through the fixed plate 12. Under the action of the filter membrane 9, the remaining solution after the reaction is filtered and discharged through the through groove. The discharged solution will fall into the storage box 3. When the solution is discharged, wet lithium carbonate remains in the reaction box 2. At this time, the lithium carbonate needs to be washed with water. Pure water is added to the reaction box 2, and the water in the reaction box 2 is discharged through the filter membrane 9. After washing several times, the lithium carbonate in the reaction box 2 needs to be discharged. , and transported into the storage box 16. At this time, the cylinder 13 works again, and drives the hinged plate 11 to rotate through the fixed plate 12, so that the arc-shaped rack plate 14 moves. When the arc-shaped rack plate 14 moves to the meshing position with the transverse rack plate 15, under the action of the arc-shaped rack plate 14, the two sealing plates 10 fixed with the transverse rack plate 15 are driven to move toward positions away from each other, so that the lithium carbonate placed on the sealing plate 10 is separated from the reaction box 2 and enters the storage box 16. When the lithium carbonate completely enters the storage box 16, the second motor 20 works at this time, driving the transmission rod 21 to rotate, thereby driving the guide groove 22 to rotate. Under the action of the guide groove 22, the diamond block 19 enters the first threaded groove through the first semi-annular groove, and drives the guide sleeve 18 along The guide rod 17 moves in the length direction, and at the same time, the valve at the bottom of the storage box 16 opens, and the lithium carbonate in the storage box 16 is evenly transported to the bottom of the drying box 1. When the diamond block 19 moves to the connection position of the first thread groove and the second thread groove, due to its diamond shape, the diamond block 19 will not be separated from the first thread groove and moves in the first thread groove, so that the storage box 16 continues to move along the length direction of the guide rod 17, so that the lithium carbonate is evenly spread in the drying box 1. When the lithium carbonate is spread, the diamond block 19 has not yet moved to the second semi-annular groove. When the diamond block 19 enters the second semi-annular groove, the storage box 16 moves to the end of the stroke away from the reaction box 2. At the same time, when the storage box 16 moves, it will also drive the push plate. 31 movement, in the initial state, the limit plate 34 abuts against the limit rod 29, so that the hollow rod 23 swings, and stops swinging after the hollow rod 23 swings to the abutment position with the second gear rod 33, and under the action of the limit wheel 26, the swing rod 30 swings to abut against the first gear rod 32 away from the central axis. When the storage box 16 transports lithium carbonate and moves to the other side of the drying box 1, the limit plate 34 located on the other side of the drying box 1 will abut against the limit rod 29, and the storage box 16 continues to move, so that the hollow rod 23 fixed with the limit rod 29 swings to the other side of the central axis, thereby driving the movable rod 25 to move, so that the limit wheel 26 slides on the swing rod 30, and the movable rod 25 will also drive the limit block 27 to slide in the slot 24 and compress the spring 28.When the limiting wheel 26 moves to the center position of the swing rod 30, the spring 28 reaches the maximum compression, and the hollow rod 23 continues to rotate, so that the limiting wheel 26 moves to the other side of the swing rod 30, and under the action of the spring 28, the swing rod 30 is driven to swing toward the other side of the central axis and abut against the No. 1 gear rod 32 which is closer to the central axis. At this time, the swing angle of the swing rod 30 is larger, so that the push plate 31 located on the side of the No. 1 gear rod 32 drops to a greater height and fits with the surface of the drying box 1. The other push plate 31 is located at the end of the stroke away from the bottom of the drying box 1. In order to fully dry the lithium carbonate, it is necessary to turn over the lithium carbonate. At this time, the storage box 16 moves toward the direction of the reaction box 2, and under the action of the push plate 31, the lithium carbonate spread on the bottom of the drying box 1 is pushed to the reverse The storage box 16 moves to the direction of the reaction box 2, and the lithium carbonate is located between the two push plates 31. When the storage box 16 moves to the end of the stroke, the swing rod 30 swings again to abut against the No. 1 gear lever 32 far away from the central axis, so that the push plate 31 located on the side of the No. 1 gear lever 32 moves to a position toward the bottom of the drying box 1, and a certain gap is left with the bottom. The other push plate 31 is located at a position away from the bottom of the drying box 1. At this time, the storage box 16 moves again in the direction away from the reaction box 2, and under the action of the push plate 31, the accumulated lithium carbonate is spread again on the bottom of the drying box 1. When the storage box 16 moves to the end of the stroke, the lithium carbonate is spread. The positions of the two push plates 31 are changed again, and the lithium carbonate is continued to be dried. The above steps are repeated, and after stacking and spreading several times, the lithium carbonate is completely dried.
