Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0033] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left" and "right" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the indicated position or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0035] The purpose of the present application is to provide a magnesium electrolytic cell cover, which can ensure that the system in the magnesium electrolytic cell does not appear thermal balance disorder problem when the magnesium electrolytic cell needs to be slagged, so as to improve the production efficiency of the magnesium electrolytic cell.
[0036] To achieve the above object, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the magnesium electrolytic cell cover provided by the embodiment is installed at the open end of the top of the electrolytic cell 01, and comprises a frame beam 100, a cover body, a plurality of heat exchangers 300 and a plurality of liquid under tank 400. The frame beam 100 is installed at the top of the edge of the electrolytic cell 01. The cover body comprises a plurality of cover bodies 200 which are spliced with each other, and gaps are reserved between the cover bodies 200 to prevent the cover bodies 200 from expanding due to heat. A plurality of heat exchangers 300 are respectively inserted into a plurality of cover bodies 200, and are located in the electrolytic cell 01 after the installation of the cover bodies 200. A plurality of liquid under tank 400 are respectively inserted into a plurality of cover bodies 200, and are located in the electrolytic cell 01 after the installation of the cover bodies 200.
[0038] Specifically, the electrolytic tank 01 can be a square cavity structure formed by bricks, and a layer of alloy steel plate is laid on the outer side wall of the electrolytic tank 01 to ensure the strength of the electrolytic tank 01 and prevent electrolyte from leaking; at the same time, the height of the alloy steel plate is slightly higher than the height of the electrolytic tank 01, and the extra part upward can just limit the frame beam 100; the frame beam 100 is installed on the top of the side wall of the electrolytic tank 01, and the overall shape is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the electrolytic tank 01, and the thickness of the frame beam 100 in the horizontal direction is slightly larger than the wall thickness of the electrolytic tank 01; and the cover body is a split structure relative to the prior art, which includes a plurality of cover body splits 200, and each cover body split 200 is provided with a heat exchanger 300 and a liquid tank 400 that can work independently, after the installation of the cover body split 200 is completed, the heat exchanger 300 and the liquid tank 400 will be located inside the electrolytic tank 01, wherein the liquid tank 400 can adjust the liquid level of the electrolyte in the electrolytic tank 01, when the liquid level is too low, the liquid tank 400 can supplement the electrolyte in the electrolytic tank 01, when the liquid level in the electrolytic tank 01 is too high, the electrolyte in the electrolytic tank 01 can flow back to the liquid tank 400; and the heat exchanger 300 can maintain the heat balance in the electrolytic tank 01.
[0039] When the electrolytic tank 01 is in normal use, a plurality of cover body splits 200 are laid on the slot to completely cover the electrolytic tank 01, and a certain gap is left between them, which is only used for the slight expansion of the cover body split 200 when heated, and will not expose the electrolytic tank 01.
[0040] In other words, the magnesium electrolytic tank 01 cover provided by the embodiment includes a cover body and a frame beam 100, wherein the frame beam 100 serves to support the cover body; it should be noted that the cover body in the embodiment is divided into a plurality of cover body splits 200, and the plurality of cover body splits 200 are spliced with each other and jointly cover the top of the electrolytic tank 01; moreover, since the electrolytic tank 01 has a high temperature, considering thermal expansion and contraction, to prevent the cover body split 200 from expanding and causing part of the cover body to be squeezed out and bulge, a certain gap is left between each two adjacent cover body splits 200, and the existence of the gap also prevents the cover body split 200 from being smoothly lifted out after expansion and causes the adjacent cover body split 200 to be tightly clamped; at the same time, each cover body split 200 is provided with a heat exchanger 300 and a liquid tank 400 that work independently; in this way, when the heat exchanger 300 or the liquid tank 400 is damaged, or the magnesium electrolytic tank 01 needs to be cleaned, only the cover body split 200 corresponding to the damaged heat exchanger 300 or liquid tank 400 or the cover body split 200 corresponding to the position needing to be cleaned needs to be lifted out, so that the heat exchanger 300 and the liquid tank 400 in the electrolytic tank 01 continue to work, thereby maintaining the heat balance in the electrolytic tank 01, so that the electrolysis temperature does not rise rapidly, thereby affecting the production efficiency.
[0041] Of course, in the embodiment, the cover body includes two cover parts 200, and in actual production application, the number of cover parts 200 included in the cover body can be adjusted according to the size of the electrolytic cell 01, which is not specifically limited herein.
[0042] In a possible embodiment, the frame beam 100 is a square frame structure, and a layer of steel plates is arranged on the outer side of the square frame structure.
[0043] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the frame beam 100 is a square frame structure to adapt to the cross-sectional shape of the electrolytic cell 01, and has a certain thickness and structural strength, and the frame beam 100 is used to support the plurality of cover parts 200; it can be understood that, in order to further increase the structural strength of the frame beam 100, a circle of steel plates is arranged on the outer side wall of the frame beam 100, and the two are fixedly connected by rivets.
[0044] Further, the steel plates extend in a direction away from the electrolytic cell 01 to form first extension parts 110.
[0045] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the steel plates extend upward by a length to form the first extension parts 110; it can be understood that the arrangement of the first extension parts 110 can make the cover parts 200 easier to position, and also make the position of the cover parts 200 more accurate; that is, the cover parts 200 will be located between the two first extension parts 110; such an arrangement also prevents the cover parts 200 from deviating from the slot of the electrolytic cell 01 due to accidental situations, and can only be fitted in the fixed position, thereby improving the safety of the electrolytic cell 01.
[0046] In a possible embodiment, a lifting lug 120 for lifting the frame beam 100 is welded on the outer side of the first extension part 110.
[0047] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , it can be understood that, in order to facilitate the assembly of the frame beam 100 to the top of the slot of the electrolytic cell 01, the embodiment further welds a lifting lug 120 on the outer side of the first extension part 110; in this way, the frame beam 100 with a certain weight can be moved and installed by a crane or other lifting device, which can reduce the labor of the workers.
[0048] In a possible embodiment, a first sealing member 130 is arranged between the outer side wall of the frame beam 100 and the steel plate outside the electrolytic cell 01.
[0049] It can be understood that the reaction in the electrolytic tank 01 will produce a certain amount of gas in the process, therefore, in order to prevent gas from leaking between the frame beam 100 and the electrolytic tank 01, a first sealing member 130 is arranged between the steel plates on the outer wall of the electrolytic tank 01, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first sealing member 130 is attached to the outer wall of the frame beam 100 and the inner wall of the upwardly extending portion of the electrolytic tank 01.
[0050] Further, a second sealing member 230 is arranged between the outer side surface of the cover body and the inner wall of the first extension 110.
[0051] Similarly, in order to prevent gas in the electrolytic tank 01 from leaking from the gap between the cover body and the frame beam 100, the present embodiment also provides a second sealing member 230 between the outer wall of the cover body and the inner wall of the first extension 110, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second sealing member 230 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the cover body and the inner wall of the first extension 110.
[0052] In one possible embodiment, the cover body is a double-layer structure, which includes a first layer 210 and a second layer 220, the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 are made of different materials, the first layer 210 is formed by pouring low-expansion castable, and the second layer 220 is made of alloy plate.
[0053] As shown in Figure 1 The cover body in the present embodiment is a double-layer structure, that is, each cover body part 200 is a double-layer structure, wherein the inner layer, which is close to the electrolytic tank 01, is the first layer 210, and the outer layer, which is the outermost layer of the cover body part 200, is the second layer 220.
[0054] It should be noted that the first layer 210 is formed by pouring low-expansion castable, and since the first layer 210 will face the electrolytic tank 01, a high-temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant material needs to be added to the low-expansion castable to enhance the durability of the cover body part 200 and thus prolong its service life; and the outer layer is an alloy steel plate, and the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 are fixedly connected by rivets, and the arrangement of the alloy steel plate can significantly enhance the structural strength of the cover body part 200, and it will mainly bear the weight of the heat exchanger 300, the under-liquid tank 400 and other components installed on the cover body part 200.
[0055] Of course, the castable of the first layer 210 can also be other materials, which are mainly used to isolate the high temperature and corrosion in the electrolytic tank 01, so as long as the selected castable can resist high temperature and corrosion.
[0056] In one possible embodiment, the heat exchanger 300 includes an annular heat exchange pipe 310 located at the lower side of the cover body 200 and first and second pipes 320 and 330 inserted into the cover body 200, and the liquid tank 400 includes a tank body 410 located at the lower side of the cover body 200 and a third pipe 420 inserted into the cover body 200, and the tank body 410 is located in the middle of the annular heat exchange pipe 310.
[0057] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the heat exchanger 300 in the embodiment includes two first and second pipes 320 and 330 for the heat exchange medium to enter and exit, and an annular heat exchange pipe 310 in an annular structure for heat exchange of the electrolyte in the electrolytic tank 01, the annular heat exchange pipe 310 is in communication with the first and second pipes 320 and 330, one of the first and second pipes 320 and 330 is used for the heat exchange medium to enter, and the heat exchange medium is discharged from the other pipe after heat exchange in the heat exchange pipe; wherein the annular heat exchange pipe 310 can also be provided in other shapes, as long as it can sufficiently adjust the heat balance in the electrolytic tank 01. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the liquid tank 400 is used to regulate the liquid level of the electrolyte in the electrolytic tank 01, which includes a tank body 410 located in the electrolytic tank 01 and a third pipe 420 in communication with the tank body 410, when the liquid level of the electrolytic tank 01 is too high, the gas in the electrolytic tank 01 is discharged through the third pipe 420 of the liquid tank 400 to reduce the internal pressure, so that the electrolyte enters the liquid tank 400, and when the liquid level of the electrolytic tank 01 is too low, the gas is introduced through the third pipe 420 of the liquid tank 400 to increase the pressure, so that the electrolyte reenters the electrolytic tank 01.
[0058] Among them, the tank body 410 of the liquid tank 400 is just located in the central space of the annular heat exchange pipe 310 when installed, so as to improve the utilization rate of the space in the electrolytic tank 01 as much as possible; and the height of the tank body 410 of the liquid tank 400 relative to the electrolytic tank 01 needs to be adjusted when installed, so that it can accurately determine the height of the liquid level in the electrolytic tank 01.
[0059] Whether it is the first and second pipes 320 and 330 of the heat exchanger 300 or the third pipe 420 of the liquid tank 400, they can be movably inserted into the cover body 200, and when the height of the heat exchanger 300 and the liquid tank 400 is not suitable, the staff can make appropriate adjustments.
[0060] In the embodiment, the tank body 410 of the liquid tank 400 can be installed with a liquid level sensor, which can detect the height of the electrolyte in the electrolytic tank 01, and a gas extraction device can be provided at the end of the third pipe 420 of the liquid tank 400 to extract or charge argon.
[0061]
[0062] In one possible embodiment, the cover body 200 is further provided with a measuring port 240 and a material port 250 that can be opened or closed.
[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the addition of materials to the electrolytic cell 01 and the measurement of various data of the electrolyte, two measuring ports 240 and one material port 250 are provided on the cover body 200, and both the measuring ports 240 and the material port 250 are provided with doors that can be opened or closed; with this arrangement, it is not necessary to frequently lift the cover body 200 every time materials are added or when data of the electrolyte is frequently tested, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the staff.
[0064] In one possible embodiment, both the first seal 130 and the second seal 230 are made of high-temperature resistant sealing salt.
[0065] In this embodiment, the materials of the first seal 130 and the second seal 230 are preferably high-temperature resistant sealing salts. Of course, other high-temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant and sealing materials can also be selected.
[0066] In summary, this application provides a magnesium electrolysis cell cover 01, which is designed as a split structure consisting of multiple independent modules, namely cover body parts 200. Each module has a submersible tank 400 and a heat exchanger 300. The cover body is placed on the frame beam 100. When a partial failure or functional failure occurs in the submersible tank 400 or heat exchanger 300 of a single module, the modular independent operation characteristics allow other units to continue operating during online maintenance, thus achieving system stability.
