Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cobalt electrolytic cells, and in particular to a cell diaphragm frame for cobalt electrolytic cells. Background Art

[0002] Electrowinning refers to the process of electrolytically depositing a solution containing metal ions after extraction and enrichment to produce cathode metal in hydrometallurgy. The copper concentration of the electrolytic inlet solution is generally 45-50 g / I, and the copper concentration of the solution after electrolysis is 30-35 g / I. The electrolytic lean solution is returned to the extraction and used as a stripping agent. According to the accumulation of iron in it, a small amount of lean solution is extracted and returned to leaching to maintain the balance of iron.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] Through the height adjustment mechanism provided in the present invention, the problems of difficult height adjustment of the diaphragm frame, low positioning accuracy, and easy wear of components caused by traditional wooden wedge fixation are effectively avoided. During use, the operator drives the first screw to rotate by rotating the handle, driving the first sliding seat to move horizontally in the chute. At this time, the push plate and the moving seat are linked, and through the guiding action of the support plate and the first slide rail, the horizontal movement is converted into the vertical lifting of the support, ensuring that the distance between the diaphragm frame and the electrolytic cell meets the process requirements, and improving the stability and efficiency of the cobalt electrowinning process;

[0021] Through the diaphragm frame assembly provided in the present invention, the problems of cumbersome disassembly and assembly and low maintenance efficiency of traditional fixed diaphragm frames are effectively avoided. During use, through the guiding action of the second slide rail, the outer frame can slide horizontally along the top of the support, and the inner frame can be vertically pulled out through the handle. When the diaphragm needs to be replaced, the operator only needs to pull the handle to lift the inner frame out of the electrolytic cell as a whole, without removing the entire frame structure. The grid design provides a uniform support surface for the diaphragm while ensuring the fluidity of the electrolyte, thus greatly shortening the time for maintaining and replacing the diaphragm and reducing the operation difficulty and labor intensity;

[0022] Through the spacing adjustment mechanism provided in the present invention, the problem of non-adjustable electrode spacing is effectively avoided. After starting the motor, the second screw is driven to rotate through the transmission assembly, driving the threaded seat to move along the fourth slide rail. The lifting movement of the adjustment plate forces the spacing adjustment groove to change its angle, and the vertical movement is converted into the horizontal displacement of the outer frame through the guiding column, ensuring accurate adjustment of the spacing of the diaphragm frame assembly. Therefore, the requirements for electrode spacing in different electrowinning processes are met, and the adaptability and flexibility of the cobalt electrowinning process are improved;

[0023] Through the scale assembly provided in the present invention, the pointer is fixed at the bottom of the support and corresponds to the scale inside the electrolytic cell. When the height of the support changes, the pointer moves on the scale, showing the current height value, which is convenient for the operator to accurately judge the height position of the diaphragm frame.

The grid 404 is designed to ensure the fluidity of the electrolyte and provide uniform support for the diaphragm. The spacing adjustment mechanism 5 adjusts the electrode spacing through the second drive assembly. The motor 511 drives the second screw rod 510 to rotate, driving the threaded seat 505 to move along the fourth slide rail 503. The adjustment plate 506 moves up and down, forcing the spacing adjustment grooves 507 to change in angle. The guide posts 509 convert the vertical movement into the horizontal displacement of the outer frame 401, realizing the accurate adjustment of the spacing of the diaphragm frame assembly. The scale assembly includes a pointer 312 and a scale 313, which are used to observe the lifting distance. The pointer is fixed at the bottom of the bracket and corresponds to the scale, displaying the current height value, which is convenient for the operator to accurately judge the height position of the diaphragm frame.
