Description

An electrolytic aluminum electrode cleaning device Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrolytic aluminum electrode cleaning technology, and particularly relates to an electrolytic aluminum electrode cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the aluminum electrolysis process, after the residual anode is removed from the tank, the anode mud on it is stripped and washed off. After cleaning, it can be recycled to save some resources. Currently, the cleaning of residual anodes is mostly done manually or by crushing in batches. Manual cleaning requires a lot of manpower and time, and batch crushing will result in mixed components of the residual anodes, which is not conducive to subsequent processing. In addition, manual cleaning is difficult to remove stubborn residues on the residual anodes. For example, application number CN202222201701.4 discloses an electrolyte cleaning device for electrolytic aluminum residues, including a fixed base, a cleaning shell fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base, a first drive motor fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning shell, a rotating roller brush fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor, a feed hopper fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning shell on the side near the first drive motor, a spraying mechanism installed on the outer wall of the cleaning shell on the side near the first drive motor, an output pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning shell on the side away from the first drive motor, a separation shell fixedly connected to the bottom of the output pipe, and a rotating separation mechanism installed inside the separation shell.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To further understand the invention's content, features, and effects, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The structure of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electrolytic aluminum electrode cleaning device, including a cleaning tank 1, a cleaning cylinder 101, an upper cover 104 on the upper surface of the cleaning cylinder 101, a support leg 2 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the cleaning cylinder 101, a feeding funnel 3 fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the upper cover 104, the lower end of the feeding funnel 3 extending into the cleaning cylinder 101, a stirring mechanism 4 in the middle of the upper surface of the upper cover 104, the stirring mechanism 4 including a first motor 402, a cleaning mechanism 5 on the outer wall of the upper cover 104, a discharge funnel 6 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the cleaning cylinder 101, a valve 7 on the discharge funnel 6, a collection bottle 8 at the lower end of the discharge funnel 6, a wastewater tank 10 outside the collection bottle 8, a U-shaped plate 9 outside the wastewater tank 10, the U-shaped plate 9 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cleaning cylinder 101, and the wastewater tank 10 and the U-shaped plate 9 connected by a quick-release mechanism 11.

[0030] Furthermore, a control panel 102 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cleaning cylinder 101, and a silicone brush head 103 for cleaning residual electrodes is circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 101. An annular limiting groove 1011 is opened on the upper surface of the cleaning cylinder 101, and a limiting ring 105 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper cover 104. The limiting ring 105 slides on the inner wall of the annular limiting groove 1011.

[0031] In this application, the control panel 102 is used to control the opening and closing of the first motor 402 and the second motor 502. The silicone brush head 103 increases the friction between the residual electrode and the silicone brush head 103, thereby facilitating a better cleaning effect on the residual electrode and improving cleaning efficiency. The annular limiting groove 1011 and the limiting ring 105 improve the stability of the upper cover 104 when rotating, preventing the upper cover 104 from shaking under the drive of the cleaning mechanism 5 and reducing the stability of this cleaning device.

[0032] Furthermore, the stirring assembly includes a mounting base 401, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper cover 104. A first motor 402 is fixedly installed inside the mounting base 401. The output shaft of the first motor 402 is fixedly connected to a stirring rod 403. A bearing 404 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper cover 104. The stirring rod 403 passes through the bearing 404 and its lower end extends into the cleaning cylinder 101. The stirring rod 403 is fixedly connected to the bearing 404.

[0033] In this application, during use, the first motor 402 is first turned on by the control panel 102. Then, the residual electrode to be cleaned and the cleaning water are poured into the feeding funnel 3. Driven by the first motor 402, the stirring rod 403 will rotate. Through the rotation of the stirring rod 403, the residual electrode and the cleaning water in the cleaning cylinder 101 will rotate synchronously. At this time, the residual electrode will rub against several silicone brush heads 103. With the cooperation of the stirring rod 403 and the silicone brush heads 103, the purpose of cleaning the residual electrode is achieved.

[0034] Furthermore, the outer wall of the discharge funnel 6 is provided with an external thread 601, the inner wall of the bottle mouth of the collection bottle 8 is provided with an internal thread 801, the discharge funnel 6 is threadedly connected to the collection bottle 8, the collection bottle 8 is provided with several drainage holes, the U-shaped plate 9 is provided with movable grooves 901 on both sides, and the wastewater tank 10, which corresponds to the two movable grooves 901, is provided with slots 1001 on both sides of its outer wall.

[0035] In this application, after the residual electrode cleaning is completed, valve 7 is opened. At this time, the wastewater and residual electrode after cleaning flow into the collection bottle 8 through the discharge funnel 6. The collection bottle 8 filters the wastewater into the wastewater tank 10, and the residual electrode after cleaning is collected in the collection bottle 8. The collection bottle 8 is designed to facilitate the collection of the residual electrode after cleaning. The discharge funnel 6 and the collection bottle 8 are connected by threads, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the collection bottle 8, thereby facilitating the collection of the residual electrode after cleaning and improving the practicality of this cleaning device.

[0036] Furthermore, the quick-release mechanism 11 includes two movable blocks 1101, each movable block 1101 is slidably disposed in the movable groove 901, and each movable block 1101 has a wedge block 1105 and a movable rod 1102 fixedly connected to both sides. Each wedge block 1105 is adapted to the slot 1001 through the movable groove 901. The end of each movable rod 1102 extends to the outside of the U-shaped plate 9 and is fixedly connected to a pull block 1104. Each movable rod 1102 is sleeved with a spring 1103, which is disposed in the movable groove 901. The two ends of the spring 1103 are fixedly connected to one side of the movable block 1101 and the inner wall of the movable groove 901, respectively.

[0037] In this application, when the wastewater tank 10 needs to be disassembled, the movable rod 1102 is moved outward by pulling the pull block 1104. The movement of the movable rod 1102 synchronously moves the wedge block 1105, which is fixedly connected to the movable block 1101, outward. When the wedge block 1105 disengages from the slot 1001 and moves into the movable groove 901, the wastewater tank 10 can be removed from the U-shaped plate 9 for wastewater treatment. When the wastewater tank 10 needs to be installed, it is only necessary to slide the wastewater tank 10... When the wedge 11 is inserted into the U-shaped plate 9, the two wedge blocks 1105 move simultaneously away from each other under the action of the thrust, and the spring 1103 is compressed. When the slot 1001 moves to correspond with the movable slot 901, the spring 1103 returns to its original position. Driven by the spring 1103, the wedge block 1105 is inserted into the slot 1001, completing the installation of the wastewater tank 10. The quick-release mechanism 11 improves the efficiency of the installation and disassembly of the wastewater tank 10, so as to treat the wastewater in the wastewater tank 10.

[0038] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 5 includes a cleaning brush 505, which is located inside the cleaning cylinder 101. The upper end of the cleaning brush 505 is fixedly mounted on the upper cover 104, and the lower end of the cleaning brush 505 is fixedly connected to a scraper 506. The scraper 506 contacts the bottom wall of the cleaning cylinder 101. A toothed ring 504 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the upper cover 104. A gear 503 is meshed on one side of the toothed ring 504. A support block 501 is provided below the gear 503. The support block 501 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning cylinder 101. A second motor 502 is fixedly mounted on the support block 501. The output shaft of the second motor 502 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the gear 503.

[0039] In this application, after long-term use, a layer of dirt will accumulate on the inner and bottom walls of the cleaning cylinder 101. The second motor 502 is turned on by the control panel 102. The second motor 502 drives the gear 503 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 504 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the gear ring 504 synchronously drives the cleaning brush 505 and the scraper 506, which are fixedly connected to the upper cover 104, to rotate. When the cleaning brush 505 rotates, it is convenient to clean the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 101. The scraper 506 is convenient to scrape off the dirt remaining on the bottom wall of the cleaning cylinder 101. Finally, the cleaning cylinder 101 is rinsed with clean water. The cleaning mechanism 5 is designed to facilitate the cleaning of the inside of the cleaning cylinder 101 and prevent the cleaning cylinder 101 from having a reduced service life due to the accumulation of a large amount of dirt inside.

[0040] Working principle of the invention:

[0041] In use, firstly, the first motor 402 is turned on via the control panel 102. Then, the residual electrode to be cleaned and cleaning water are poured into the feeding funnel 3. Driven by the first motor 402, the stirring rod 403 is rotated. The rotation of the stirring rod 403 synchronously rotates the residual electrode and cleaning water in the cleaning cylinder 101. At this time, the residual electrode will rub against several silicone brush heads 103. With the cooperation of the stirring rod 403 and the silicone brush heads 103, the purpose of cleaning the residual electrode is achieved. After the residual electrode cleaning is completed, the valve 7 is opened. At this time, the wastewater and residual electrode are discharged. The wastewater flows through the discharge funnel 6 into the collection bottle 8, which filters the wastewater into the wastewater tank 10. The residual electrode after cleaning is collected in the collection bottle 8. When the wastewater tank 10 needs to be disassembled, the movable rod 1102 is moved outward by pulling the pull block 1104. The movement of the movable rod 1102 synchronously moves the wedge block 1105, which is fixedly connected to the movable block 1101, outward. When the wedge block 1105 disengages from the slot 1001 and moves into the movable slot 901, the wastewater tank 10 can be removed from the U-shaped plate 9 for further treatment of the wastewater in the wastewater tank 10.

[0042] After prolonged use, a layer of dirt will accumulate on the inner and bottom walls of the cleaning drum 101. The second motor 502 is activated via the control panel 102. The second motor 502 drives the gear 503 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 504 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the gear ring 504 synchronously drives the cleaning brush 505 and scraper 506, which are fixedly connected to the upper cover 104, to rotate. When the cleaning brush 505 rotates, it facilitates cleaning the circumferential inner wall of the cleaning drum 101. The scraper 506 facilitates scraping off the dirt remaining on the bottom wall of the cleaning drum 101. Finally, the cleaning drum 101 is rinsed with clean water.

[0043] In summary, this electrolytic aluminum residual electrode cleaning device, through the setting of the cleaning mechanism 5, facilitates the cleaning of the inside of the cleaning cylinder 101, preventing the cleaning cylinder 101 from having its service life reduced due to a large amount of dirt adhering to it. Through the setting of the quick-release mechanism 11, the efficiency of the installation and disassembly of the wastewater tank 10 is improved, so as to treat the wastewater in the wastewater tank 10. The discharge funnel 6 and the collection bottle 8 are connected by threads, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the collection bottle 8, thereby facilitating the collection of the cleaned residual electrode and improving the practicality of this cleaning device. Through the setting of the silicone brush head 103, the friction between the residual electrode and the silicone brush head 103 is increased, thereby facilitating a better cleaning effect on the residual electrode and improving the cleaning efficiency.
