Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of copper electrolytic refining, in particular to an automatic spraying device for the contact points of conductive copper bars. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of copper electrolytic refining, copper sulfate crystals will form at the contact points between the cathode and anode and the conductive copper bars, resulting in an increase in the contact point resistance and energy consumption. Therefore, in actual production, it is required that the electrolytic cell surface workers regularly sprinkle water on the anodes on the electrolytic cell surface and the conductive copper bars to dissolve and remove the copper sulfate crystals and reduce the contact point resistance. Although this operation is effective, the process completely depends on manual operation, and there is too much water during the water spraying process, which impacts the liquid level of the electrolytic cell, causing the liquid level in the electrolytic cell to oscillate and the anode mud on the anode surface to collapse and form floating anodes, resulting in particles at the liquid level line of the electrolytic copper, and even causing short circuits between the anode and cathode, which has a certain negative impact on the production indicators. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic spraying device for the contact points of conductive copper bars to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic spraying device for the contact points of conductive copper bars,

[0005] The utility model includes an electrolytic cell, a conductive copper bar installed above the electrolytic cell, and anode plates fixed on both sides of the conductive copper bar in the electrolytic cell. It also includes nozzles located at both ends of the conductive copper bar outside the electrolytic cell. The nozzles are fan-shaped structures, and the nozzles of the nozzles are arc-shaped.

[0006] Furthermore, the nozzles are connected to a water pipe, and a solenoid valve is installed on the water pipe. The solenoid valve is connected to a DCS controller.

[0007] By adopting the nozzles with fan-shaped structures and arc-shaped nozzles, the utility model not only has a large water spraying pressure, but also has uniform water landing points for the arc-shaped sprayed water, and can comprehensively and thoroughly clean the contact points between both sides of the conductive copper bar and the anode plate, solving the problem of short circuits between the anode and cathode caused by copper sulfate crystals, improving the production efficiency. In addition, by adopting automatic spraying and watering, it solves the problems of excessive water volume and impact on the electrolytic cell liquid level during manual spraying and watering, which are prone to cause short circuits between the anode and cathode, greatly saving manpower and saving purified water.

[0010] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

It further includes spray heads 3 at both ends of the conductive copper bar 1 outside the electrolytic cell 5. The spray heads 3 are of a fan-shaped structure, and the nozzles of the spray heads 3 are arc-shaped. Using a fan-shaped spray head with an arc-shaped nozzle not only provides a large water spray pressure, but also makes the water droplets fall evenly in an arc shape, which can clean the contact points between both sides of the conductive copper bar and the anode plates in all directions without dead angles, solves the problem of short circuit between the anode and cathode caused by copper sulfate crystallization, and improves production efficiency.

[0013] The spray head 3 of the present invention is connected to a water pipe 2. A solenoid valve 4 is installed on the water pipe 2. The solenoid valve 4 is connected to a DCS controller (not shown in the figure). The solenoid valve 4 is opened or closed through the control of the DCS controller, enabling the spray head 3 to spray automatically, solving the problems of excessive water volume and impact on the liquid level of the electrolytic cell during the manual spraying process, which is likely to cause short circuit between the anode and cathode, greatly saving manpower and saving purified water.
