[0050] The concentrated mother liquor and small particles of lithium phosphate flow into the vertical pipe 162 through the second outlet pipe 1119. The conical silica gel plate 167 can reduce the impact force of the concentrated mother liquor and small particles of lithium phosphate to prevent the lithium phosphate in the sedimentation tank 6 from floating violently due to excessive impact force. The concentrated mother liquor and small particles of lithium phosphate will squeeze the conical silica gel plate 167, and the conical silica gel plate 167 will be deformed. The concentrated mother liquor and small particles of lithium phosphate flow into the sedimentation tank 6 through the gap between the conical silica gel plate 167 and the conical contact plate 163.

In the tube 165, the concentrated mother liquor and finer particles of lithium phosphate will flow into the conical bucket 168, and the fourth water pump 169 will suck the concentrated mother liquor into the conical head 1610 through the fine hole 1611. The fine hole 1611 can filter the finer particles of lithium phosphate to prevent the finer particles of lithium phosphate from entering the conical head 1610. The finer particles of lithium phosphate will follow the concentrated mother liquor to overflow from the conical bucket 168 and fall into the installation tube 161, and be discharged through the discharge port 1613 to prevent the finer particles of lithium phosphate from blocking the fine hole 1611. The concentrated mother liquor in the conical head 1610 will flow to the annular plate 9 through the second drain pipe 1612 and be discharged through the first drain pipe 141, thereby reducing the content of concentrated mother liquor in the sedimentation tank 6, accelerating the precipitation of lithium phosphate, and further improving the recovery efficiency.
