Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of descaling equipment technology, specifically to a descaling device and method for industrial water cooling systems based on nano-rare earth elements. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial production of nano-rare earth, the industrial water cooling system is a key supporting facility to ensure the stable operation of production equipment. Long-term use of circulating cooling water is prone to the precipitation of calcium and magnesium ions, forming scale, which can clog pipes, reduce heat exchange efficiency, and affect the continuity of production. Therefore, a descaling device is required. Electrochemical descaling is widely used in this field due to its environmentally friendly and efficient characteristics.
[0003] Existing electrochemical descaling devices often require manual intervention or shutdown for electrode replacement, making it difficult to achieve uninterrupted descaling of circulating cooling water. Maintenance costs are relatively high, and they are not well-suited to the long-term continuous operation requirements of industrial water cooling systems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of existing electrochemical descaling devices, which often require manual intervention or shutdown for electrode replacement, making it difficult to achieve uninterrupted descaling of circulating cooling water, resulting in relatively high maintenance costs and difficulty in fully adapting to the long-term continuous operation requirements of industrial water cooling systems. The invention provides a descaling device and method for industrial water cooling systems based on nano-rare earth elements.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a descaling device and method for an industrial water cooling system based on nano-rare earth, comprising: a cooling water tank in an industrial water cooling system, wherein the cooling water tank is provided with a descaling component for descaling the cooling water based on the principle of electrochemical descaling, a replenishing component for replenishing the cathode component in the descaling component, and a collecting component for collecting the replaced cathode component;
[0006] The descaling component includes a first partition and a second partition fixedly installed inside the cooling water tank, with the first and second partitions symmetrically distributed within the cooling water tank. The area between the first and second partitions is a cooling water storage area. A movable groove is provided on the inner side of the cooling water storage area in the cooling water tank, and an abutment plate is slidably connected within the movable groove. A spring is fixedly connected to the side of the first partition facing the abutment plate, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the abutment plate. An electrode plate is fixedly connected to the side of the second partition away from the abutment plate. A cathode rod is inserted through the cooling water tank along its length, close to the second partition, with one end of the cathode rod sequentially penetrating the cooling water tank, the electrode plate, and the second partition, and abutting against the abutment plate. The cathode rod is inclined, with the lower end facing the abutment plate. A storage plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cooling water tank along its length, close to the second partition.
[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention: four sets of moving slots are provided, symmetrically distributed along the width of the cooling water tank; four sets of springs are provided, symmetrically distributed between the partition plate and the abutment plate; nine sets of cathode rods are provided, arranged in three rows and three columns; the storage plate has a U-shaped cross-section; nine sets of storage plates are provided, with each set of storage plates having the same axis as a set of inclined cathode rods; a set of cathode rods is provided inside the storage plate, with the front end of the cathode rods penetrating the cooling water tank and abutting against the tail end of the cathode rods on the abutment plate; the elastic force of the springs can support the two sets of cathode rods, keeping the abutment plate in its current position within the moving slot.
[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention: the second partition plate is provided with an annular flexible sealing structure in the through hole corresponding to the cathode rod. Under normal descaling conditions, the cathode rod is tightly fitted with the through hole, and the sealing structure can seal the through gap, ensuring that the cooling water in the cooling water tank will not leak from the through hole. During the brief interval of automatic replacement of the cathode rod, only a small amount of cooling water seeps into the area between the second partition plate and the cooling water tank through the through hole. This small amount of cooling water can evaporate naturally before the next set of cathode rods is inserted. The sealing structure is small in size and will not hinder the cathode rod from completing the automatic insertion action by gravity.
[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: an electrode plate 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the partition plate away from the abutment plate, and a fixing cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the cooling water tank closer to the interior of the partition plate 1 along the length direction. Two sets of clearance grooves are provided on the abutment plate. An anode rod is provided inside the cooling water tank. One end of the anode rod passes through the clearance groove, the partition plate 1, and the electrode plate 2 in sequence, and is threadedly connected to the fixing cylinder. The anode rod is inclined, with the lower end facing the partition plate 2. There are four sets of anode rods and fixing cylinders arranged in two rows and two columns, with each set of anode rods inserted between the four sets of cathode rods.
[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the replenishing component includes a replenishing box fixedly connected to the side of the storage plate on the cooling water tank. Three sets of replenishing boxes are provided, with the bottom end of each set of replenishing boxes connected through to the three sets of storage plates in the same row. The replenishing boxes are inclined, and the connection positions between the three sets of storage plates in the same row and the replenishing boxes gradually decrease. A replenishing groove is provided through at the top of the replenishing box, located at the high point of the inclined replenishing box, so that the cathode rod inserted into the replenishing box from the replenishing groove follows the inclined surface of the bottom end of the replenishing box. The feed box rolls towards the three sets of feed boxes in the same row. Each set of feed boxes has a connecting groove at the connection position with each set of feed troughs on it. A baffle is slidably inserted into the connecting groove. A partition is installed through the feed box on the side away from the cooling water tank, and the partition is slidably inserted into the feed box. The insertion end of the partition has a sharp corner at an angle. Each set of feed boxes is provided with two sets of partitions. The two sets of partitions are located on the side of the two storage plates at the higher position of each set of feed boxes facing the lower position, which evenly divides the feed box into three sections. The number of cathode rods in each section is the same.
[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: nine baffles on the three sets of replenishment boxes are fixedly connected to a synchronization plate on the side away from the cooling water tank, and the synchronization plate is U-shaped. The vertically aligned partitions on the three sets of replenishment boxes are fixedly connected to a synchronization block on the side away from the cooling water tank. There are two sets of synchronization blocks. The top of each replenishment box has a through slot. Each replenishment box has a slot. Each slot is located on the side of a storage plate facing the top of the replenishment box. The horizontal distance between the slot and the center of the storage plate is greater than the diameter of the cathode rod and less than 1.5 times the diameter of the cathode rod. The top of each replenishment box is fixedly connected to a guide plate. Each replenishment box has six guide plates, symmetrically distributed on both sides of each slot. A top block is slidably inserted into the slot. The top block is T-shaped, and its top two sides abut against the inner sides of the two sets of guide plates. The end of the top block inserted into the slot facing the top of the replenishment box is an arc surface.
[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the collecting component includes a guide block fixedly connected to the bottom of the interior of the cooling water tank. The guide block is triangular with a sloping apex. A discharge trough is formed through the interior of the cooling water tank, near the lowest point of the guide block's apex. A collecting box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling water tank. The top of the collecting box has a protrusion, and the side of the protrusion fits against the surface of the discharge trough, allowing the discharge trough to penetrate the side of the protrusion. The cooling water tank and the collecting box are in communication. Guide blocks two and three are fixedly connected internally. Both guide blocks two and three are triangular with their inclined surfaces facing upwards. Guide blocks two and three are mirror images of each other, so that the cooling water tank and the collection tank form a Z-shaped channel under the action of guide blocks one, two and three. The collection tank has a discharge trough two on its side end. The discharge trough two is located on the side of the lowest point of the top of guide block three. A sealing plate is slidably inserted into the discharge trough two. The sealing plate passes through one side of the length direction of the cooling water tank. The length of the sealing plate is greater than the length of the cooling water tank.
[0013] A descaling method for industrial water cooling systems based on nano-rare earth elements includes the following steps:
[0014] S1. First, push the synchronous plate to drive the baffle to insert into the connecting groove to block the storage plate port. Put a sufficient amount of cathode rods into the feeding box through the feeding groove. Push the synchronous block to drive the partition block to divide the feeding box into three sections. Put in the working cathode rod so that it passes through electrode plate one and partition plate two and abuts against the abutting plate. Pull out the baffle to let the spare cathode rod enter the storage plate. Then put the anode rod through the abutting plate, partition plate one and electrode plate two, fix it through the fixing cylinder, and connect the low voltage DC power supply.
[0015] S2. After that, the device enters the electrochemical descaling mode. An alkaline environment is formed on the surface of the cathode rod. Calcium and magnesium ions are released and adsorbed to form scale, which increases the weight of the cathode rod. This overcomes the spring force and pushes the contact plate to slide along the moving groove. The waste cathode rod falls off. After the spring resets, the spare cathode rod automatically takes over. The top block indicates when the consumables are exhausted. The waste cathode rod enters the collection box through guide block one and discharge groove one, and accumulates in the Z-shaped channel formed by guide block two and guide block three.
[0016] S3. Finally, when cleaning the waste cathode rods, shut off the equipment and drain the cooling water. Pull the sealing plate to open the discharge chute and discharge the waste. The entire device relies on gravity and spring force to achieve fully automated descaling, cathode replacement, material replenishment, and collection, ensuring the stable operation of the nano-rare earth industrial water cooling system.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0018] 1. In this invention, the descaling component utilizes the weight gain from scale adsorption to achieve automatic removal and replacement without power. Combined with the fixedly arranged anode rods, there is no need for manual shutdown to disassemble and install electrodes. The annular flexible sealing structure prevents cooling water leakage, realizing uninterrupted electrochemical descaling of circulating cooling water, ensuring the continuity of descaling operations, reducing manual maintenance costs, and meeting the long-term continuous operation requirements of industrial water cooling systems.
[0019] 2. In this invention, the cathode rods are stored in batches, replenished in equal quantities and synchronously controlled by the feeding component. Combined with the top block that can intuitively indicate the remaining amount, there is no need for frequent manual feeding and real-time monitoring. This ensures that the cathode rods are replenished in a timely and uniform manner. It is highly compatible with the automatic replacement function of the descaling component, realizes fully automated feeding, greatly simplifies operation and maintenance, and improves the overall automation and intelligence of the device.
[0020] 3. In this invention, the collection component can automatically guide and collect the detached waste cathode rods, avoiding the accumulation and blockage of waste parts in the cooling water tank. Combined with the easily pull-out enclosed plate and discharge trough, waste can be quickly cleaned up, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the water cooling system and descaling device, and optimizing the user and maintenance experience of the device.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment of the invention, the descaling device and method for an industrial water cooling system based on nano-rare earth includes: a cooling water tank 1 in the industrial water cooling system, a descaling component 2 on the cooling water tank 1 for descaling the cooling water based on the principle of electrochemical descaling, the working principle of which is to immerse the anode and cathode in the circulating cooling water, and after passing low-voltage direct current, the cathode causes calcium and magnesium ions to precipitate and form scale, and the anode generates oxidizing substances to kill bacteria and algae. Through continuous electrolysis, online descaling and scale prevention of circulating water are achieved. A replenishing component 3 is provided on the cooling water tank 1 for replenishing the cathode component in the descaling component 2, and a collecting component 4 is provided on the cooling water tank 1 for collecting the replaced cathode component.
[0036] Reference Figures 2 to 4The descaling component 2 includes a first partition 21 and a second partition 22 fixedly installed inside the cooling water tank 1. The first partition 21 and the second partition 22 are symmetrically distributed within the cooling water tank 1. The area between the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 is the cooling water storage area. A movable groove 23 is provided on the inner side of the cooling water storage area in the cooling water tank 1. Four sets of movable grooves 23 are symmetrically distributed along the width direction of the cooling water tank 1. An abutment plate 24 is slidably connected within the movable groove 23. A spring 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the first partition 21 facing the abutment plate 24. One end of the spring 25 is fixedly connected to the abutment plate 24. Four sets of springs 25 are symmetrically distributed between the first partition 21 and the abutment plate 24. An electrode plate 26 is fixedly connected to the side of the second partition 22 away from the abutment plate 24. A cathode rod 27 is installed along the length of the partition 22, with one end of the cathode rod 27 sequentially passing through the cooling water tank 1, electrode plate 26, and partition 22, and abutting against the abutment plate 24. The cathode rod 27 is inclined, with the lower end facing the abutment plate 24. When the cathode rod 27 abuts against the abutment plate 24, the tail end of the cathode rod 27 is flush with the side of electrode plate 26 away from partition 22. There are nine groups of cathode rods 27 arranged in three rows and three columns. A storage plate 28 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cooling water tank 1 along the length of the partition 22. The storage plate 28 has a U-shaped cross-section and is arranged in nine groups. Each group of storage plates 28 is collinear with the axis of a group of inclined cathode rods 27. A group of cathode rods 27 is installed inside the storage plate 28. The front end of cathode rod 27 penetrates the cooling water tank 1 and abuts against the tail end of cathode rod 27 with abutting plate 24. The elastic force of spring 25 supports the two sets of cathode rods 27, keeping abutting plate 24 in its current position within moving groove 23. When the outer surface of cathode rod 27 inserted into cooling water tank 1 is covered with scale, the weight of cathode rod 27 increases, causing the weight of multiple sets of cathode rods 27 to overcome the elastic force of spring 25, pushing abutting plate 24 towards partition 21 until the distance between abutting plate 24 and partition 22 is greater than the length of cathode rod 27, causing cathode rod 27 to fall to the bottom of cooling water tank 1 and enter collecting container 4. After this set of cathode rods 27 enters collecting container 4, spring 25 returns to its original length, causing abutting plate 24 to reset, and the previous abutting plate 24 is closed. The cathode rod 27, located within the storage plate 28 and abutting against the plate 24, is inserted sequentially through the electrode plate 26 and the partition plate 22 under gravity until it abuts against the plate 24. The partition plate 22 has an annular flexible sealing structure within the through hole corresponding to the cathode rod 27. Under normal descaling conditions, the cathode rod 27 fits tightly against the through hole, and the sealing structure seals the through gap, ensuring that cooling water in the cooling water tank 1 does not leak from the through hole. During the brief intervals of automatic cathode rod 27 replacement, only a small amount of cooling water seeps through the through hole into the area between the partition plate 22 and the cooling water tank 1. This small amount of cooling water evaporates naturally before the next set of cathode rods 27 is inserted. The sealing structure is compact and does not hinder the cathode rod 27 from automatically inserting under gravity.Electrode plate 29 is fixedly connected to the side of partition 21 away from the abutment plate 24. A fixing cylinder 210 is fixedly connected to the side of the cooling water tank 1 closest to the interior of partition 21 along its length. Two sets of clearance grooves are provided on the abutment plate 24. An anode rod 211 is installed inside the cooling water tank 1. One end of the anode rod 211 passes through the clearance groove on the abutment plate 24, partition 21, and electrode plate 29 in sequence, and is threadedly connected to the fixing cylinder 210. The anode rod 211 is inclined, with its lower end facing partition 22. Four sets of anode rods 211 and fixing cylinders 210 are arranged in two rows and two columns, with each set of anode rods 211 inserted between four sets of cathode rods 27.
[0037] The above scheme is adopted by setting up partition 1 21, partition 2 22, moving groove 23, abutment plate 24, spring 25, electrode 1 26, cathode rod 27, storage plate 28, electrode 2 29, fixed cylinder 210, anode rod 211 and annular flexible sealing structure. The cathode rod 27 automatically falls off and is replaced by adsorbing scale and increasing its weight. No external power or electrical control components are required, so the cathode rod 27 can be replaced automatically without power. The sealing structure prevents cooling water leakage. The anode rod 211 is fixed and does not need to be replaced, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted electrochemical descaling operation and greatly improving the stability of the device operation.
[0038] Reference Figures 5 to 10The replenishing component 3 includes a replenishing box 31 fixedly connected to the side of the storage plate 28 on the cooling water tank 1. Three sets of replenishing boxes 31 are provided. The bottom end of each set of replenishing boxes 31 is connected through to the three sets of storage plates 28 in the same row. The replenishing boxes 31 are inclined, and the connection positions between the three sets of storage plates 28 in the same row and the replenishing boxes 31 gradually decrease. A replenishing groove 310 is provided through the top of the replenishing box 31. The replenishing groove 310 is located at the high point of the inclined replenishing box 31, allowing the cathode rod 27 placed into the replenishing box 31 from the replenishing groove 310 to roll along the inclined surface of the bottom end of the replenishing box 31 towards the three sets of replenishing boxes 31 in the same row. Each set of replenishing boxes 31 has a connecting groove 32 at its connection position with each set of replenishing grooves 310 above it. A baffle is slidably inserted into the connecting groove 32. 33. When the baffle 33 is fully inserted into the connecting groove 32, the top of the baffle 33 is flush with the bottom of the inside of the feed box 31, blocking the storage plate 28. This ensures that the cathode rods 27 placed in the feed box 31 are evenly distributed within the feed box 31 and do not prematurely enter the storage plate 28. A partition 34 is provided through the side of the feed box 31 away from the cooling water tank 1, and the partition 34 is slidably inserted into the feed box 31. The insertion end of the partition 34 has a sharp corner at the bottom. When the baffle 33 blocks the storage plate 28 and the cathode rods 27 are evenly distributed within the feed box 31, the sharp corner at the bottom of the partition 34 inserts into the gap between the two sets of cathode rods 27, causing the partition 34 to push the cathode rods 27 upwards along the slope at the bottom of the inside of the feed box 31. Each set of feed boxes 31 is provided with two... Two sets of partition blocks 34 are located on the side of the two storage plates 28 facing the lower part of each replenishment box 31, evenly dividing the replenishment box 31 into three sections. The number of cathode rods 27 in each section is the same. When inserting the two sets of partition blocks 34 on each replenishment box 31, the set of partition blocks 34 at the lower end is inserted first. Then, the baffle 33 is pulled out of the replenishment groove 310, and the set of cathode rods 27 at the lowest end of each section enters the storage plate 28. The nine sets of baffles 33 on the three replenishment boxes 31 are fixedly connected to the synchronization plate 38 on the side away from the cooling water tank 1. The synchronization plate 38 is U-shaped. The vertically aligned partition blocks 34 on the three replenishment boxes 31 are fixedly connected to the synchronization block 39 on the side away from the cooling water tank 1. The synchronization block 39 is provided in two sets. A slot 35 is provided at the top of each feed box 31. Each feed box 31 has a slot 35, and each slot 35 is located on the side of a storage plate 28 facing the top of the feed box 31. The horizontal distance between the center of the slot 35 and the storage plate 28 is greater than the diameter of the cathode rod 27 but less than 1.5 times the diameter of the cathode rod 27. A guide plate 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the feed box 31. Six guide plates 36 are provided on each feed box 31, symmetrically distributed on both sides of each slot 35. A top block 37 is slidably inserted into the slot 35. The top block 37 is T-shaped, and its top two sides abut against the inner sides of the two guide plates 36. The side of the top block 37 that is inserted into the slot 35 facing the top of the feed box 31 is curved, so that the cathode rod 27 placed in the feed box 31 rolls within the feed box 31.The top block 37 abuts against the curved surface, pushing it upwards along the guide plate 36. Since the slot 35 is located on the side of the storage plate 28 facing the replenishment box 31, when the cathode rods 27 in each segment separated by the partition block 34 are used up, the top block 37 is no longer subjected to the resisting force of the cathode rods 27. Under gravity, the top block 37 inserts into the replenishment box 31, displaying the remaining amount of cathode rods 27 in the replenishment box 31.
[0039] By adopting the above scheme, by setting up a replenishment box 31, a connecting groove 32, a baffle 33, a partition 34, a slot 35, a guide plate 36, a top block 37, a synchronization plate 38, a synchronization block 39, and a replenishment groove 310, the cathode rods 27 can be stored in batches, replenished in equal quantities, and controlled synchronously. With the top block 37, the remaining amount of consumables can be visualized intuitively. There is no need for frequent manual feeding. It is compatible with the automatic replacement process of the cathode rods 27, ensuring timely and uniform replenishment, greatly simplifying manual replenishment operations, and improving the automation level of the device.
[0040] Reference Figures 11 to 12 The collecting component 4 includes a guide block 41 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling water tank 1. The guide block 41 is triangular with a sloping top. A discharge chute 42 is provided through the cooling water tank 1 on the side closest to the lowest point of the guide block 41 in the width direction. A collecting box 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling water tank 1. The top of the collecting box 43 has a protrusion, and the side of the protrusion on the top of the collecting box 43 is in contact with the surface of the discharge chute 42, so that the discharge chute 42 passes through the side of the protrusion on the top of the collecting box 43. The cooling water tank 1 is connected to the collecting box 43. A second guide block 4 is fixedly connected inside the collecting box 43. 4 and guide block 3 45, guide block 2 44 and guide block 3 45 are all triangular with the inclined surface facing upward, and guide block 2 44 and guide block 3 45 are mirrored, so that the cooling water tank 1 and the collection tank 43 form a Z-shaped channel under the action of guide block 1 41, guide block 2 44 and guide block 3 45. The side end of the collection tank 43 is provided with discharge trough 2 46, which is located on the side of the lowest point of the top of guide block 3 45. A sealing plate 47 is slidably inserted in the discharge trough 2 46. The sealing plate 47 penetrates one side of the length direction of the cooling water tank 1, and the length of the sealing plate 47 is greater than the length of the cooling water tank 1.
[0041] The above scheme is adopted: by setting guide block 1 41, discharge trough 1 42, collection box 43, guide block 2 44, guide block 3 45, discharge trough 2 46, and sealing plate 47, the waste cathode rod 27 is automatically guided and collected by the Z-shaped flow channel, avoiding the accumulation of waste parts and blockage of cooling water tank 1.
[0042] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Before the device is put into use, a pre-installation operation is completed. First, the synchronous plate 38 is pushed to drive the baffle 33 into the connecting groove 32, sealing the port of the storage plate 28. Then, a sufficient number of cathode rods 27 are placed into the feeding box 31 through the feeding groove 310, so that the cathode rods 27 are evenly arranged along the inclined surface of the feeding box 31. Subsequently, the synchronous block 39 is pushed to drive the partition block 34 into the feeding box 31, dividing the feeding box 31 evenly into three sections. Then, nine sets of working cathode rods 27 are taken and respectively penetrated through the electrode plate 1 26 and the partition plate 22, and tightly abutted against the abutment plate 24. The electrode plate 1 26 provides unified power to all cathode rods 27. Then, the baffle 33 is pulled out of the connecting groove 32 by the synchronous plate 38, so that the maximum number of cathode rods in each section of the feeding box 31 divided into three sections is evenly distributed. A set of cathode rods 27 at the lower position enters the storage plate 28. The spare cathode rods 27 in the storage plate 28 abut against the working cathode rods 27 in the cooling water tank 1. Spring 25 provides support to position the abutment plate 24 in the moving groove 23. Finally, four sets of anode rods 211 are placed in the cooling water tank 1, with one end passing through the abutment plate 24, the partition plate 21, and the electrode plate 29. They are fixed by the fixing cylinder 210. The electrode plate 29 supplies power to the anode rods 211. Both the anode and cathode are completely immersed in the circulating cooling water. After the device is connected to the low-voltage DC power supply, it officially enters the electrochemical descaling working mode. An alkaline environment is formed on the surface of the cathode rods 27, and calcium and magnesium ions in the cooling water continuously precipitate and are continuously adsorbed on the outer wall of the cathode rods 27 in the form of scale. As the descaling time increases, the scale is continuously absorbed into the anode rods 27. As the scale thickness increases, the overall weight of the cathode rod 27 also rises. When the total weight of the nine working cathode rods 27 exceeds the total elastic force of the four springs 25, the cathode rod 27 will push the abutment plate 24 to slide along the moving groove 23 towards the partition 1 21 until the distance between the abutment plate 24 and the partition 22 is greater than the length of the cathode rod 27. The working cathode rod 27 loses its support and automatically falls off to the bottom of the cooling water tank 1 in an inclined direction. During the brief interval of cathode rod 27 replacement, only a very small amount of cooling water seeps into the outer layer of the partition 22 through the through hole. This part of the cooling water will completely evaporate before the new cathode rod 27 is installed in place, and the sealing structure in the through hole will not hinder the cathode rod 27 from being inserted by gravity. After the old cathode rod 27 has fallen off, the spring 25 automatically rebounds to its original position, driving... The contact plate 24 returns to its initial position. Under the influence of gravity, the spare cathode rod 27 in the storage plate 28 automatically passes through the electrode plate 26 and the partition plate 22 until it contacts the contact plate 24, completing a fully automatic cathode replacement. The cathode rod 27 in the replenishment box 31 will continuously supply material to the storage plate 28. When a section of cathode rod 27 is exhausted, the top block 37 at the corresponding position loses its compression and, under the influence of gravity, inserts into the slot 35 along the guide plate 36, visually indicating that the consumables in that area are exhausted. The detached waste cathode rod 27 falls to the bottom of the cooling water tank 1 and slides along the inclined surface of the guide block 41, enters the collection box 43 through the discharge chute 42, and accumulates in the Z-shaped channel formed by the guide block 44 and the guide block 45. When cleaning is required, the equipment is turned off and the cooling water is drained.The sealing plate 47 is pulled outward to open the discharge trough 2 46, and the waste cathode rod 27 is automatically discharged along the inclined surface of the guide block 3 45, completing the cleaning of waste components. The entire process of descaling, cathode replacement, automatic replenishment, and waste collection of the device requires no manual intervention or electrical control. It relies entirely on gravity, the elasticity of the spring 25, and the inherent characteristics of electrochemical descaling to achieve automated operation. It can provide continuous, stable, and uninterrupted descaling operation for nano-rare earth industrial water cooling circulating water for a long time, avoiding scale deposition from the source and ensuring the efficient operation of the industrial water cooling system.
