Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of industrial equipment, and particularly relates to a new type of copper electrolysis positionable cathode insulating plate. Background Art

[0002] In the copper electrolysis industry, copper electrolysis is a key step in extracting high-purity copper. In this process, copper ions are reduced to pure copper in the electrolyte and deposited on the cathode plate. During this process, the electrolysis positionable cathode insulating plate plays a crucial role. It not only ensures the smooth progress of the electrolysis process but also affects the quality and purity of the finally produced copper. Currently, the electrolysis insulating plates on the market are mainly made of specific corrosion-resistant materials. They are used in the copper electrolysis cell to isolate the positive and negative electrodes, prevent short circuits, and optimize the copper deposition process.

[0003] Although the traditional electrolysis insulating plates play an important role in the copper electrolysis process, they have some technical defects, mainly manifested as inaccurate positioning of the anode-cathode spacing, which leads to instability in the electrolysis process, affecting the uniformity and efficiency of copper deposition. The existing insulating plate design fails to fully consider the need to optimize the current distribution, which will further reduce the purity and output of copper, and its practicability needs to be improved. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a new type of copper electrolysis positionable cathode insulating plate, which solves the technical problem of insufficient practicability of the existing device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A new type of copper electrolysis positionable cathode insulating plate includes an insulating plate body, and the thickness of the insulating plate body is 10 ± 10 mm;

[0007] The insulating plate body is respectively provided with a current optimization mechanism;

[0008] The current optimization mechanism includes through holes and round holes. Two groups of the through holes are respectively opened on the upper and lower sides of the insulating plate body, and two groups of the round holes are symmetrically opened on the surface of the insulating plate body. The lengths of the two groups of through holes are both 75 ± 20 mm, and the widths of the two groups of through holes are rectangular holes with a width of 50 ± 20 mm. The diameters of the two groups of round holes are both 20 ± 20 mm.

[0009] Preferably: an additional round hole is staggeredly opened at the end of each of the two groups of round holes, an additional through hole is staggeredly opened at the end of each of the two groups of through holes, and the centers of the two groups of round holes are parallel to the center lines of the through holes.

[0010] Preferably, both groups of the through holes are located between the round holes. Each group of the through holes is used to fix the anode and cathode plates, and each group of the round holes assists in fixing the anode and cathode plates. The material of the insulating plate body is fiberglass material with low conductivity and high thermal conductivity. Each spacing between the two groups of through holes is an equidistant interval of 65 ± 20 mm.

[0011] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] First, by providing round holes with a size of 20 ± 20 mm, through holes with a length of 75 ± 20 mm and a width of 50 ± 20 mm, precise positioning can be provided during the subsequent processing of the anode and cathode plates, thus ensuring their correct positions and spacings during the electrolysis process, optimizing the current distribution, reducing the space required during the electrolysis process, lowering the consumption of electrolyte and electric energy. Meanwhile, by providing multiple through holes and round holes, it is convenient for positioning and also facilitates the installation and replacement of the anode and cathode plates, reducing the downtime and increasing the efficiency.

[0013] Second, by providing a current optimization mechanism, during the subsequent processing of the insulating plate body, an appropriate separation can be provided between the anode and cathode plates, thus forming an effective series circuit between them, which helps to optimize the distribution and flow of the current, and improve the copper deposition quality and current efficiency during the copper electrolysis process.

[0014] Third, since the insulating plate body is made of a fiberglass material with low conductivity and high thermal conductivity and a thickness of 10 ± 10 mm, this material can not only withstand the high temperature and corrosive environment generated during the electrolysis process, but also help to maintain the stability of the entire electrolytic cell, reducing short circuits and other electrolysis failures caused by poor positioning.

[0019] Embodiments of the present application provide a new type of copper electrolysis positionable cathode insulating plate, effectively solving the technical problem of insufficient practicality of existing devices. By providing round holes with a diameter of 20±20mm and through holes with a length of 75±20mm and a width of 50±20mm, precise positioning can be provided during subsequent processing of the anode and cathode plates, thereby ensuring their correct positions and spacing during the electrolysis process, optimizing the current distribution, reducing the space required during the electrolysis process, reducing the consumption of electrolyte and electric energy. At the same time, by providing multiple through holes and round holes, it is convenient for positioning and also facilitates the installation and replacement of the anode and cathode plates, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency. And by providing a current optimization mechanism, when processing the insulating plate body itself subsequently, an appropriate separation can be provided between the anode and cathode plates, thereby forming an effective series circuit between them, which helps to optimize the distribution and flow of current, and improve the deposition quality of copper and the current efficiency during the copper electrolysis process. And because the insulating plate body itself is made of a fiberglass material with low conductivity and high thermal conductivity, with a thickness of 10±10mm, this material can not only withstand the high temperature and corrosive environment generated during electrolysis, but also helps to maintain the stability of the entire electrolytic cell, reducing short circuits and other electrolysis failures caused by poor positioning. Embodiment

[0020] As Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application effectively solves the technical problem of insufficient practicality of existing devices, and the general idea is as follows:

[0021] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present utility model provides a new type of copper electrolysis positionable cathode insulating plate, including an insulating plate body 11, and the thickness of the insulating plate body 11 is 10±10mm;

[0022] A current optimization mechanism is respectively provided on the insulating plate body 11;

[0023] The current optimization mechanism includes through holes 12 and round holes 13. Two groups of through holes 12 are respectively opened on the upper and lower sides of the insulating plate body 11, and two groups of round holes 13 are symmetrically opened on the surface of the insulating plate body 11. The lengths of the two groups of through holes 12 are both 75±20mm, and the widths of the two groups of through holes 12 are rectangular holes with a width of 50±20mm. The diameters of the two groups of round holes 13 are both 20±20mm. By providing round holes 13 with a diameter of 20±20mm and through holes 12 with a length of 75±20mm and a width of 50±20mm, precise positioning can be provided during subsequent processing of the anode and cathode plates, thereby ensuring their correct positions and spacing during the electrolysis process, and optimizing the current distribution.

[0024] An additional round hole 13 is staggeredly opened at the end of each of the two groups of round holes 13, and an additional through hole 12 is staggeredly opened at the end of each of the two groups of through holes 12. The centers of the two groups of round holes 13 are parallel to the center line of the through hole 12. The two groups of through holes 12 are both located between the round holes 13. Each group of through holes 12 is used to fix the anode and cathode plates, and each group of round holes 13 assists in fixing the anode and cathode plates. By setting up the current optimization mechanism, when the insulating plate body 11 is processed subsequently, an appropriate separation can be provided between the anode and cathode plates, thereby forming an effective series circuit between them, which in turn helps to optimize the distribution and flow of the current, and further improves the copper deposition quality and current efficiency during the copper electrolysis process.

[0025] The material of the insulating plate body 11 is fiberglass material with low conductivity and high thermal conductivity. Each spacing between the two groups of through holes 12 is an equidistant interval of 65 ± 20 mm. Since the insulating plate body 11 is made of a fiberglass material with low conductivity and high thermal conductivity and has a thickness of 10 ± 10 mm, this material can not only withstand the high temperature and corrosive environment generated during the electrolysis process, but also helps to maintain the stability of the entire electrolytic cell.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] First step, first, the anode plate can be lifted into the electrolytic cell by a crane, and the lifting lugs on both sides of the anode plate are aligned with both sides of the insulating plate body 11. One side is aligned with the conductive busbar in the through hole 12, and the other side is on the insulating plate body 11. After being lifted in, the worker uses a crowbar to fix the anode plate on the insulating plate body 11.

[0028] Second step, after the anode plate is fixed, at this time, the staff can turn the insulating plate body 11 over, and then the staff can again control the crane to lift the cathode plate into the electrolytic cell, align the lifting lugs on both sides of the cathode plate with both sides of the insulating plate body 11. One side is aligned with the conductive busbar in the through hole 12, and the other side is on the insulating plate body 11. Then the staff can use a crowbar to fix the cathode plate on the insulating plate body 11.

[0029] In the third step, the staff can then start the electrolysis system in the electrolytic cell. After starting the electrolysis system, through the busbar on the surface of the electrolytic cell and the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, the current will flow from the anode plate through the electrolyte to the cathode plate, and copper ions will be reduced to copper metal on the cathode plate. (In addition, the standardized production requirements of the anode plate are also considered. The anode plate is made according to national standards, and its thickness and the thickness of the lifting lugs both meet specific standard ranges to ensure its stability and durability during electrolysis. By placing the cathode plate conductive rod between two anode plates and controlling the distance between the two anode plates to be equal to the thickness of one anode plate lifting lug, the arrangement layout of the anode and cathode plates can be further optimized. This layout not only helps to maintain the structural stability inside the electrolytic cell but also ensures uniform distribution of the current between the anode and cathode plates, improving the electrolysis efficiency and the purity of copper).

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
