Description
Technical Field

[0002] Due to its simple preparation, low price and excellent performance, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have been widely used in electronic products. Along with the rapid development of the electronics industry, their scale and market demand are constantly increasing. At present, the anodic foil corrosion process of aluminum electrolytic capacitors mostly adopts electrochemical corrosion, including four steps: pretreatment, primary pore formation, secondary pore expansion, and post-treatment.
[0003] During the pore expansion process, it needs to be carried out in an acidic bath solution kept at about 80°C. However, the temperature of the newly supplemented bath solution is only 20 - 25°C. Therefore, during the pore expansion process, a part of the heat energy is released by the chemical reaction itself. The actual temperature rise difference is about 30°C. Converting the natural gas consumed by this heat energy into the output of corrosion foil, it is equivalent to consuming 0.05 cubic meters of natural gas per square meter of corrosion foil. During the discharge process of the waste heat acidic bath solution, the heat energy in the waste heat acidic bath solution is not recovered and utilized, resulting in the loss of heat energy.

Specific embodiments
[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Embodiment 1
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions: A power-free heat energy recovery device, including a heat energy exchange tank 1;
[0030] Liquid inlet pipe 2, the liquid inlet pipe 2 is fixedly arranged at the top of the heat energy exchange tank 1; through the liquid inlet pipe 2, the waste heat acidic bath solution can flow into the heat energy exchange tank 1 automatically.
[0031] Liquid outlet pipe 3, the liquid outlet pipe 3 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the heat energy exchange tank 1, and through the liquid outlet pipe 3, the waste heat acidic bath solution can be discharged from the heat energy exchange tank 1.
[0032] Overflow pipe 4, the overflow pipe 4 is fixedly arranged inside the heat energy exchange tank 1, and the outlet end of the overflow pipe 4 penetrates to the outside of the heat energy exchange tank 1; through the overflow pipe 4, the waste heat acidic bath solution can overflow from a high position to a low position automatically without providing an additional power device, with low equipment cost and no increase in operating cost.
[0033] The coil pipe support 5 is arranged inside the heat energy exchange tank 1; the spiral coil pipe 6 is detachably connected to the coil pipe support 5. The liquid inlet end and the liquid outlet end of the spiral coil pipe 6 are both arranged at the top of the heat energy exchange tank 1. Through the spiral coil pipe 6, after the added low-temperature bath liquid exchanges heat energy with the hot liquid in the heat energy exchange tank 1, the heat of the waste heat acidic bath liquid can be reasonably utilized, heat energy loss can be avoided, and the temperature of the low-temperature bath liquid can be increased by 10 - 15 °C. About 40% of natural gas consumption can be saved. When the heat exchange area is increased, the temperature can be further increased to achieve zero natural gas consumption.
[0034] The spiral coil pipe 6 is a graphite-modified polypropylene pipe.
[0035] The working principle of the present utility model: The waste heat acidic bath liquid enters into the heat energy exchange tank 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 2 until the liquid level of the waste heat acidic bath liquid in the heat energy exchange tank 1 submerges the overflow pipe 4, which can make the waste heat acidic bath liquid drain out of the heat energy exchange tank 1 by itself and enter into the low-level tank.
[0036] At the same time, the supplemented low-temperature acidic bath liquid enters into the spiral coil pipe 6. As the low-temperature acidic bath liquid entering the spiral coil pipe 6 increases, the low-temperature acidic bath liquid drains out of the heat energy exchange tank 1 from the liquid outlet end of the spiral coil pipe 6. And while the low-temperature acidic bath liquid is flowing in the spiral coil pipe 6, it can exchange heat with the waste heat acidic bath liquid in the heat energy exchange tank 1, so that the low-temperature acidic bath liquid with increased temperature can flow into the high-level tank.
[0037] When the heat energy exchange tank 1 needs to be overhauled, the waste heat acidic bath liquid in the heat energy exchange tank 1 can be drained out of the heat energy exchange tank 1 through the liquid outlet pipe 3.
[0038] Embodiment 2
[0039] Please refer to Figure 3-6 , a heat insulation layer is further arranged on the outer wall of the heat energy exchange tank 1. Through the heat insulation layer, the heat loss of the waste heat acidic bath liquid in the heat energy exchange tank 1 can be increased, so that the heat energy exchange between the waste heat acidic bath liquid and the low-temperature acidic bath liquid can be better carried out.
[0040] The heat energy exchange tank 1 includes a tank body 11 and a tank cover 12. Connecting flanges 13 are fixedly arranged on both the tank body 11 and the tank cover 12. The two connecting flanges 13 are detachably connected by first bolts. Through the connecting flanges 13, the tank body 11 can be covered, so that the coil pipe support 5 and the spiral coil pipe 6 in the tank body 11 can be taken out of the tank body 11.
[0041] In some embodiments, the liquid inlet pipe 2, the liquid outlet pipe 3, the liquid inlet end and the liquid outlet end of the spiral coil pipe 6 are all arranged on the tank cover 12.
[0042] The coil pipe support 5 includes a bottom ring 51, a top ring 52 and a clamping plate 53. The bottom ring 51 and the top ring 52 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the heat exchange tank 1. The bottom ring 51 and the top ring 52 are fixedly connected by a plurality of clamping plates 53 distributed circumferentially, which are used to fix the spiral coil pipe 6. Through the bottom ring 51, the top ring 52 and the clamping plate 53, it is convenient to install the spiral coil pipe 6 inside the heat exchange tank 1 and improve the stability of the spiral coil pipe 6 in the heat exchange tank 1.
[0043] In some embodiments, the top ring 52, the bottom ring 51 and the clamping plate 53 are all arranged in the area between the overflow pipe 4 and the spiral coil pipe 6.
[0044] The clamping plate 53 includes a fixed rod 531 and a movable rod 532. The fixed rod 531 and the movable rod 532 are arranged parallel to each other. The movable rod 532 is detachably connected to the movable rod 532 by a second bolt. On the opposite sides of the movable rod 532 and the fixed rod 531, arc-shaped grooves 533 adapted to the spiral coil pipe 6 are provided. The two arc-shaped grooves 533 cooperate with each other to form a disk groove for fixing the spiral coil pipe 6. Through the fixed rod 531 and the movable rod 532, the spiral coil pipe 6 can be fixedly clamped on the coil pipe support 5, and the spiral coil pipe 6 on the coil pipe support 5 can be disassembled.
[0045] The top ring 52 is detachably connected to the tank cover 12 by a third bolt. Through the third bolt, the coil pipe support 5 can be disassembled and assembled on the tank cover 12, which is convenient for taking and placing the coil pipe support 5 and the spiral coil pipe 6.
