[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a plate-frame filter press washing water recovery device, comprising a plate-frame filter press 1 and a storage tank 2;

[0036] One end of the plate and frame filter press 1 is provided with a liquid inlet pipe 3 and a liquid outlet pipe 4;

[0037] The storage tank 2 includes a first storage tank 21, a second storage tank 22 and a third storage tank 23;

[0038] The liquid discharge pipe 4 is connected to the first storage tank 21 , the second storage tank 22 and the third storage tank 23 respectively; the second storage tank 22 and the third storage tank 23 are also provided with a reflux pipe 5 , and the reflux pipe 5 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 3 .

[0039] The washing water used for each washing is stored separately through the first storage tank 21, the second storage tank 22 and the third storage tank 23, and a reflux pipe 5 is added to the second storage tank 22 and the third storage tank 23. The reflux pipe 5 is connected with the liquid inlet pipe 3 of the plate and frame filter press 1, so that the washing water used for the second and third washings can re-enter the plate and frame filter press 1 to wash the solid materials, wherein the washing water used for the second washing can serve as the washing water for the first washing of the solid materials, and the washing water used for the third washing can serve as the washing water for the second washing of the solid materials, thereby the washing water for washing the solid materials can be reused, thereby effectively saving water resources.

[0040] It should be noted that the washing water used for the first washing cannot be reused because a large amount of impurities have been accumulated in the washing water after multiple washings.

[0041] In order to control the flow direction of the liquid so that the washing water of each washing can flow into the corresponding storage tank 2, the drainage pipe 4 includes:

[0042] A first liquid discharge pipe 41 is connected to the first storage tank 21, and a first switch valve 411 is provided on the first liquid discharge pipe 41;

[0043] A second liquid discharge pipe 42 is connected to the second storage tank 22, and a second switch valve 421 is provided on the second liquid discharge pipe 42;

[0044] The third liquid discharge pipe 43 is connected to the third storage tank 23 , and a third switch valve 431 is disposed on the third liquid discharge pipe 43 .

[0045] When the washing water used for the first washing is discharged from the drain pipe 4, the first switch valve 411 is opened to allow the washing water to flow into the first storage tank 21 through the first drain pipe 41; when the washing water used for the second washing is discharged from the drain pipe 4, the second switch valve 421 is opened to allow the washing water to flow into the second storage tank 22 through the second drain pipe 42; when the washing water used for the third washing is discharged from the drain pipe 4, the third switch valve 431 is opened to allow the washing water to flow into the third storage tank 23 through the third drain pipe 43.

[0046] It should be noted that only the switch valve on the corresponding discharge pipe 4 is opened each time, and the switch valves on other pipes are all closed.

[0047] In addition, after the filter press completes the pressing and washing operations, the filter cake needs to be dried by compressed air to reduce the amount of lithium in the filter cake. Therefore, the wash water will carry compressed air, and a large amount of wash water mixed with pressurized air will be suddenly discharged into the storage tank 2, causing the internal pressure of the storage tank 2 to suddenly increase, causing an impact on the storage tank 2, causing it to vibrate, and even causing the wash water to splash out of the storage tank 2, affecting the environment around the storage tank 2. A decompression structure 6 is provided at the connection point between the first drain pipe 41 and the first storage tank 21. The first drain pipe 41 is connected to the first storage tank 21 through the decompression structure 6, and the decompression structure 6 plays a role in exhausting air, relieving pressure and slowing down the liquid flow rate.

[0048] Specifically, the decompression structure 6 includes a decompression groove 61 and a quartz sand mixture 62 , and the quartz sand mixture 62 is placed in the decompression groove 61 .

[0049] A decompression structure 6 is provided at the entrance of the first storage tank 21. When a large amount of liquid mixed with pressurized air is discharged from the first liquid discharge pipe 41, the liquid flows into the quartz sand mixture 62, and enters the first storage tank 21 after being buffered in the quartz sand mixture 62. The decompression tank 61 can temporarily store the washing water that has no time to flow into the first storage tank 21, thereby reducing the impact force on the first storage tank 21 caused by the sudden discharge of a large amount of liquid, thereby achieving the purpose of slowing down the rapid increase of the internal pressure of the tank body; in addition, when the pressure in the first storage tank 21 increases, since the quartz sand mixture 62 is air-permeable, the first storage tank 21 can be vented and depressurized through the quartz sand mixture 62, so that the gas in the tank body can be discharged in time, preventing the excessive pressure inside the first storage tank 21 from splashing out of the storage tank or affecting the discharge of washing water.

[0050] In order to pump out the liquid in the second storage tank 22 and the third storage tank 23 , a water pump 8 is provided on the liquid inlet pipe 3 .

[0051] Furthermore, the reflux pipe 5 comprises:

[0052] The first reflux pipe 51 is connected to the second storage tank 22 and is provided with a fourth switch valve 511;

[0053] The second reflux pipe 52 is communicated with the third storage tank 23 and is provided with a fifth switch valve 521 .

[0054] When the solid material needs to be washed for the first time, the fourth switch valve 511 is opened, and the pump 8 is started, so that the washing water used for the second washing enters the liquid inlet pipe 3 through the first reflux pipe 51, thereby re-entering the plate and frame filter press 1 to wash the solid material for the first time; when the solid material needs to be washed for the second time, the fifth switch valve 521 is opened, and the pump 8 is started, so that the washing water used for the third washing enters the liquid inlet pipe 3 through the second reflux pipe 52, thereby re-entering the plate and frame filter press 1 to wash the solid material for the second time.

[0055] It should be noted that the plate and frame filter press wash water recovery device is also provided with a controller, which is respectively connected to the first drain pipe 41, the second drain pipe 42, the third drain pipe 43, the fourth switch valve 511, the fifth switch valve 521 and the water pump 8 for controlling their opening and closing.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the plate and frame filter press 1 can be one.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, there may be multiple plate and frame filter presses 1, and multiple plate and frame filter presses 1 may share a set of storage tanks 2, thereby meeting large-scale production needs while reducing equipment investment.

[0058] In order to prevent excessive pressure inside the tank body, an exhaust pipe 7 is provided on each storage tank 2, and the exhaust pipe 7 can be but is not limited to one.

[0059] Specifically, the upper portion of the exhaust pipe 7 is arc-shaped, which can effectively prevent liquid from splashing out of the exhaust pipe 7.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
