Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of anolyte cleaning technology, specifically to an anolyte cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolytic aluminum production requires electrolysis, which refers to the process of inducing redox reactions at the cathode and anode. Generally, the electrolytic aluminum process involves dissolving cryolite as a solvent and alumina as a solute in an electrolytic cell. Carbon-based material serves as the anode, and molten aluminum as the cathode. A strong direct current is applied, and an electrochemical reaction occurs at the two electrodes of the electrolytic cell at 950–970 degrees Celsius. Molten aluminum is obtained at the cathode, and gas is obtained at the anode. An electrolytic rod is used at the anode to adsorb some unwanted impurities. Currently, in the cleaning and recycling process, most electrolytic rods are removed by force, which easily damages them and reduces their lifespan.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention designs an anode electrolyte cleaning device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anode electrolyte cleaning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an anode electrolyte cleaning device, comprising a workbench, a guide plate fixedly connected to the upper part of the workbench, an anode electrolysis rod disposed on the workbench, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the side of the workbench, a sliding groove formed on the fixing plate, a crushing assembly disposed on the workbench, a transmission assembly disposed on the workbench, and a cleaning assembly disposed above the workbench. The crushing assembly first crushes the dirt on the anode electrolysis rod to remove the dirt from the anode electrolysis rod, then the transmission assembly drives the anode electrolysis rod away, and finally the cleaning assembly cleans the impurities adhering to the anode electrolysis rod.

[0006] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the compaction assembly includes two compaction plates symmetrically arranged about the workbench. Each compaction plate is slidably connected to a sliding frame. A first spring is provided between the sliding frame and the compaction plate. A connecting column is fixedly connected to the sliding frame. The connecting column is slidably connected to a sliding groove opened in the fixed plate. The sliding groove is an oblique triangle. A moving plate is slidably connected to the middle of the connecting column. A second spring is fixedly connected between the connecting column and the moving plate. A T-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the moving plate. A driving cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the T-shaped plate. The driving cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixed plate.

[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the transmission assembly includes a transmission belt, with electric transmission wheels connected to both ends of the transmission belt, and the electric transmission wheels being rotatably connected to the worktable; a plurality of locking blocks are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission belt, and an anode electrolytic rod is locked into the groove of the locking block; a plurality of transmission rollers are rotatably connected to the worktable.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning component includes a fixing plate, the fixing device is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, a plurality of jet columns are fixedly connected to the fixing plate, a guide column is connected to the plurality of jet columns, the guide column is connected to a guide pipe, an airbag is fixedly connected to the guide pipe, and the airbag is fixedly connected to a T-shaped plate.

[0009] As a further aspect of the invention, each of the transmission rollers is provided with a protrusion for cleaning.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a collection box is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the workbench.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a guide rail is provided on the workbench. The guide rail is composed of two fixed bars. The upper fixed bar is fixedly connected to the fixed plate, and the lower fixed bar is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench. During operation, this ensures that the anode electrolytic rod slides stably laterally.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a baffle is fixedly connected to the side of the rolling plate. During operation, it is used in conjunction with the guide plate to ensure that the anode electrolytic rod enters the worktable stably and without misalignment.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. Under the action of the first spring, the rolling plate presses firmly onto the anode electrolytic rod, further crushing it. This not only removes the electrolyte adhering to the anode electrolytic rod more effectively, but also prevents the rolling plate from pressing down too hard and damaging the anode electrolytic rod. The spring force of the first spring completely prevents this from happening.

[0015] Then, driven by the connecting column, the sliding frame causes the rolling plate to slide within the triangular groove of the sliding channel. Based on the slope of the triangular groove, the rolling plate can slowly and multi-anglely roll the anode electrolytic rod, avoiding the rigid, direct vertical contact that would result in hammering and accelerate damage to the anode electrolytic rod.

[0016] 2. As the sliding frame drives the pressing plate to move down along the left inclined groove of the sliding groove, when the sliding frame drives the pressing plate to press down on the anode electrolytic rod, the pressing plate cannot move down because it is in contact with the anode electrolytic rod. At this time, the downward pressing force of the pressing plate acts on the anode electrolytic rod, causing the impurities on the anode electrolytic rod to be crushed off.

[0017] 3. By driving the T-shaped plate up and down with the drive cylinder, the air bag is squeezed, and the air in the air bag is squeezed into the air guide column through the air guide pipe and then into the jet column. The jet column cleans and blows out the residual floating dust on the anode electrolysis rod that is conveyed by multiple rotating transmission rollers.

[0018] 4. When the anolyte-adhered anolyte rods fall onto the worktable sequentially between the guide plate and the baffle, the electric drive wheel is activated, driving the drive belt to rotate. The drive belt drives the clamping block, which clamps the end of the anolyte rod and then follows the drive belt for transport. No manual operation by the operator is required. The two rolling plates on the worktable repeatedly roll the anolyte rods, further removing the electrolyte adhering to the anolyte rods completely. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Please see Figure 1-7 This invention provides a technical solution: an anode electrolyte cleaning device, including a workbench 1, a guide plate 2 fixedly connected to the upper part of the workbench 1, an anode electrolysis rod 17 disposed on the workbench 1, a fixing plate 3 fixedly connected to the side of the workbench 1, a sliding groove 6 formed on the fixing plate 3, a crushing assembly disposed on the workbench 1, a transmission assembly disposed on the workbench 1, and a cleaning assembly disposed above the workbench 1. The crushing assembly first crushes the dirt on the anode electrolysis rod 17 to remove the dirt from the anode electrolysis rod 17, then the transmission assembly drives the anode electrolysis rod 17 away, and finally the cleaning assembly cleans the impurities adhering to the anode electrolysis rod 17.

[0029] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the compaction assembly includes two compaction plates 11 symmetrically arranged about the workbench 1. Each compaction plate 11 is slidably connected to a sliding frame 9. A first spring 10 is provided between the sliding frame 9 and the compaction plate 11. A connecting column 8 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 9. The connecting column 8 is slidably connected to a sliding groove 12 opened in the fixed plate 3. The sliding groove 12 is an oblique triangle. A moving plate 7 is slidably connected to the middle of the connecting column 8. A second spring 13 is fixedly connected between the connecting column 8 and the moving plate 7. A T-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 7. A driving cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the T-shaped plate 4. The driving cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 3.

[0030] During operation: The anolyte-adhered anolyte rod 17 is dropped onto the workbench 1 through the guide plate 2 and the baffle 26. Then, the drive cylinder 5 is started to drive the moving plate 7 to move up and down through the T-shaped plate 4. The moving plate 7 drives the connecting column 8 to slide along the sliding groove 12. The connecting column 8 drives the sliding frame 9 to slide along the groove of the sliding groove 12.

[0031] (like Figure 7As shown, during the process of the sliding frame 9 driving the rolling plate 11 to move down along the left inclined groove of the sliding groove 12, when the sliding frame 9 drives the rolling plate 11 to press down on the anode electrolytic rod 17, the rolling plate 11 cannot move down because it is in contact with the anode electrolytic rod 17. At this time, the downward pressing force of the rolling plate 11 acts on the anode electrolytic rod 17, causing the impurities on the anode electrolytic rod 17 to be crushed off.

[0032] At this time, since the sliding frame 9 is slidably connected to the rolling plate 11, the sliding frame 9 presses the first spring 10 and continues to move downward. Under the action of the first spring 10, the rolling plate 11 presses tightly on the anode electrolytic rod 17, further pressing the anode electrolytic rod 17. This not only removes the electrolyte adhering to the anode electrolytic rod 17 more effectively, but also avoids the situation where the rolling plate 11 presses the anode electrolytic rod 17 with too much force, which could damage the anode electrolytic rod 17. Under the action of the first spring 10, the elastic force of the spring can completely prevent this situation from happening.

[0033] Then, the sliding frame 9, driven by the connecting column 8, causes the rolling plate 11 to slide in the triangular groove of the sliding groove 12. Based on the slope of the triangular groove, the rolling plate 11 can slowly roll the anode electrolytic rod 17 at multiple angles, avoiding the rigid rolling of direct vertical contact, which would form a hammering and accelerate the damage of the anode electrolytic rod 17.

[0034] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the transmission assembly includes a transmission belt 15, with electric transmission wheels 14 connected to both ends of the transmission belt 15, and the electric transmission wheels 14 are rotatably connected to the workbench 1; a plurality of locking blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission belt 15, and an anode electrolytic rod 17 is locked in the groove of the locking block 16; a plurality of transmission rollers 23 are rotatably connected to the workbench 1.

[0035] During operation, when the anolyte-adhered anolyte rod 17 falls sequentially onto the workbench 1 between the guide plate 2 and the baffle 26, the electric drive wheel 14 is activated, driving the drive belt 15 to rotate. The drive belt 15 drives the clamping block 16, which clamps the end of the anolyte rod 17 and then follows the drive belt 15 for transport. No manual operation is required, and the two rolling plates 11 on the workbench 1 repeatedly roll the anolyte rod 17 to further and completely remove the electrolyte adhering to the anolyte rod 17.

[0036] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning assembly includes a fixing plate 18, which is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 3. A plurality of jet columns 21 are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 18, and a guide column 19 is connected to the plurality of jet columns 21. The guide column 19 is connected to a guide pipe 20, and an airbag 22 is fixedly connected to the guide pipe 20. The airbag 22 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped plate 4.

[0037] During operation, as the drive cylinder 5 moves the T-shaped plate 4 up and down, it compresses the airbag 22, forcing the air inside the airbag 22 into the air guide column 19 through the air guide pipe 20 and then into the jet column 21. The jet column 21 cleans and blows out the residual floating dust on the anode electrolytic rod 17 that is conveyed by multiple rotating transmission rollers 23.

[0038] As a further embodiment of the present invention, each of the transmission rollers 23 is provided with a protrusion for cleaning.

[0039] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a collection box 25 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the workbench 1.

[0040] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the workbench 1 is provided with a guide rail 24, which is composed of two fixing bars. The upper fixing bar is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 3, and the lower fixing bar is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench 1, so as to ensure that the anode electrolytic rod 17 can slide stably laterally during operation.

[0041] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a baffle 26 is fixedly connected to the side of the rolling plate 11. During operation, it is used in conjunction with the guide plate 2 to ensure that the anode electrolytic rod 17 enters the workbench 1 stably and without being misaligned.

[0042] Working principle: The anolyte-adhered anolyte rod 17 is sequentially dropped onto the worktable 1 between the guide plate 2 and the baffle 26. When the anolyte-adhered anolyte rod 17 is sequentially dropped onto the worktable 1 between the guide plate 2 and the baffle 26, the electric transmission wheel 14 is started, which drives the transmission belt 15 to rotate. The transmission belt 15 drives the clamping block 16, which clamps the end of the anolyte rod 17 and then follows the transmission belt 15 for conveying. Then, the drive cylinder 5 is started, which drives the moving plate 7 to move up and down through the T-shaped plate 4. The moving plate 7 drives the connecting column 8 to slide along the sliding groove 12. The connecting column 8 drives the sliding frame 9 to slide along the groove of the sliding groove 12.

[0043] (like Figure 7 As shown, during the process of the sliding frame 9 driving the rolling plate 11 to move down along the left inclined groove of the sliding groove 12, when the sliding frame 9 drives the rolling plate 11 to press down on the anode electrolytic rod 17, the rolling plate 11 cannot move down because it is in contact with the anode electrolytic rod 17. At this time, the downward pressing force of the rolling plate 11 acts on the anode electrolytic rod 17, causing the impurities on the anode electrolytic rod 17 to be crushed off.

[0044] At this time, since the sliding frame 9 is slidably connected to the rolling plate 11, the sliding frame 9 presses the first spring 10 and continues to move downward. Under the action of the first spring 10, the rolling plate 11 presses tightly on the anode electrolytic rod 17, further pressing the anode electrolytic rod 17. This not only removes the electrolyte adhering to the anode electrolytic rod 17 more effectively, but also avoids the situation where the rolling plate 11 presses the anode electrolytic rod 17 with too much force, which could damage the anode electrolytic rod 17. Under the action of the first spring 10, the elastic force of the spring can completely prevent this situation from happening.

[0045] Then, driven by the connecting column 8, the sliding frame 9 causes the rolling plate 11 to slide within the triangular groove of the sliding groove 12. Based on the slope of the triangular groove, the rolling plate 11 can slowly and multi-anglely roll the anode electrolytic rod 17, avoiding direct vertical contact and rigid rolling, which would cause hammering and accelerate damage to the anode electrolytic rod 17. The two rolling plates 11 on the workbench 1 repeatedly roll the anode electrolytic rod 17, further and completely removing the electrolyte adhering to the anode electrolytic rod 17.

[0046] During the up-and-down movement of the T-shaped plate 4 driven by the drive cylinder 5, the air bag 22 is squeezed, and the air in the air bag 22 is squeezed into the air guide column 19 through the air guide pipe 20 and then enters the jet column 21. The jet column 21 cleans and blows out the residual floating dust on the anode electrolytic rod 17 that is conveyed by multiple rotating transmission rollers 23.

[0047] The side of the rolling plate 11 is fixedly connected to a baffle 26. During operation, it is used in conjunction with the guide plate 2 to ensure that the anode electrolytic rod 17 enters the workbench 1 stably and without being misaligned.
