[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides an electrolytic cell electrolyte circulation device, including an electrolytic cell 1, a liquid pump 2 arranged at the lower end of one side of the electrolytic cell 1; the liquid pump 2 is connected to a first pipe 3; the output end of the first pipe 3 is connected to a filter barrel 4; a water pump 5 is provided on the upper part of the filter barrel 4 away from the electrolytic cell 1; the water pump 5 is connected to a second pipe 6; the second pipe 6 is connected to the other side of the electrolytic cell 1; a supplement unit 7 is further provided in the inner cavity of the filter barrel 4, and the supplement unit 7 automatically replenishes the ion concentration of the electrolyte flowing through the inner cavity of the filter barrel 4.

[0034] It is worth mentioning here that the water pump 5 is arranged on the upper part of the filter barrel 4, which can prevent the sediment at the bottom of the filter barrel 4 from flowing back into the electrolytic cell 1 along with the electrolyte.

[0035] The electrolytic cell 1 is disposed below the ground, and a plurality of positioning blocks 11 are symmetrically disposed on both side walls of the electrolytic cell 1 parallel to the second pipe 6 .

[0036] A crossbar 12 is provided on the positioning block 11 , a battery negative electrode 13 is suspended in the middle of the crossbar 12 , and a plurality of battery anodes 14 are suspended between two adjacent groups of the battery negative electrodes 13 .

[0037] It is worth mentioning that positioning blocks 11 are provided on both sides of the electrolytic cell 1 , and the protrusions on the positioning blocks 11 facilitate the positioning and mounting of the crossbar 12 .

[0038] It should be noted that the metal elements in the battery anode 13 are precipitated and attached to the surface of the battery cathode 14 through electrochemical reaction.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the components identical or corresponding to those in the first embodiment are designated by the corresponding reference numerals in the first embodiment. For simplicity, only the differences from the first embodiment are described below. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0041] The filter barrel 4 is provided with a cover plate 41 . A chute 42 is provided through the filter barrel 4 and the cover plate 41 . The chute 42 is located between the output end of the first pipe 3 and the input end of the water pump 5 .

[0042] A drainage pipe 43 is further provided at the lower portion of the filter barrel 4 . The drainage pipe 43 is located below the water pump 5 . A hand wheel 431 is provided on the drainage pipe 43 .

[0043] It is worth mentioning here that a drainage pipe 43 is set at the lower part of the filter barrel 4, and the opening and closing of the drainage pipe 43 is controlled by a hand wheel 431, so as to facilitate the regular drainage and cleaning of the sediment at the bottom of the filter barrel 4, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the electrolyte circulated and filtered in subsequent work.

[0044] A filter plate 44 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 42 . A filter screen 441 is disposed at the bottom of the filter plate 44 . A handle 442 is disposed at the top of the filter plate 44 .

[0045] It is worth mentioning here that a slide 42 is provided in the filter barrel 4, and a filter plate 44 is slidably provided in the slide 42. A handle 442 is provided on the top of the filter plate 44, which is convenient for manual labor to simply and conveniently hold the handle 442 to pull the filter plate 44 out of the filter barrel 4 for cleaning. The setting of the slide 42 also facilitates the positioning and installation of the filter plate 44, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0046] The cover plate 41 is provided with a handle 45 , and the cover plate 41 is also provided with a feeding pipe 46 , which is connected to the supplement unit 7 .

[0047] It should be noted that, when the electrolyte flows from the output end of the first pipe 3 to the input end of the water pump 5, it flows through the filter 44. The filter 44 filters out impurities in the electrolyte, preventing the impurities from flowing back into the electrolytic cell 1 with the electrolyte, thereby keeping the electrolyte clean.

[0048] It should also be noted that the externally prepared ion supplement liquid is continuously input into the feed pipe 47 , and the ion supplement liquid then flows into the supplement unit 7 connected to the feed pipe 46 .

[0049] Example 3

[0050] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the supplement unit 7 includes a storage bin 71 and a dosing roller 72; the top of the storage bin 71 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 41, a cavity 711 is provided in the storage bin 71, a discharge port 712 is provided on one side of the lower portion of the storage bin 71, and a pad 713 is provided on the other side of the storage bin 71, and a spring 714 is further connected between the pad 713 and the side wall of the storage bin 71; the dosing roller 72 is rotatably disposed in the lower portion of the cavity 711, and an opening 721 is provided on the dosing roller 72.

[0051] It should be noted here that when the opening 721 of the quantitative roller 72 has not rotated to the discharge port 712, the pad 713 is tightly attached to the quantitative roller 72 under the action of the spring 714, and at the same time the quantitative roller 72 forms a certain sealing effect on the cavity 711 to prevent the ion replenisher from flowing excessively into the electrolyte; when the opening 721 of the quantitative roller 72 rotates to the discharge port 712, the quantitative ion replenisher carried from the cavity 711 at the opening 721 flows into the electrolyte from the discharge port 712.

[0052] A rotating shaft 722 is extended from one side of the quantitative roller 72 , and the rotating shaft rotates along with the quantitative roller 72 . Fan blades 723 are arranged in an array on the rotating shaft 722 .

[0053] The input end of the water pump 5 is provided with a drainage groove 51 , and the drainage groove 51 is located below the metering roller 72 and the fan blade 723 .

[0054] It is worth mentioning that a replenishing unit 7 is provided, and the flow of electrolyte generated by the operation of the water pump 5 is used to drive the fan blades 723 in the replenishing unit 7 to rotate, thereby driving the metering roller 72 to rotate. When the opening 721 on the metering roller 72 rotates to the discharge port 712, the ion replenishing liquid in the storage bin 71 flows into the electrolyte, thereby achieving automatic quantitative replenishment of the ion concentration in the electrolyte.

[0055] It is worth mentioning again that the drainage groove 51 covers the lower end of the quantitative roller 72 and the fan blade 723, so that the flow of the electrolyte can better drive the fan blade 723 to rotate, and the ion replenishing liquid output from the quantitative roller 72 will also be stirred by the fan blade 723 when flowing through the fan blade 723 in the drainage groove 51, and is better evenly mixed into the electrolyte.

[0056] Working steps

[0057] The electrolyte is output to the filter barrel 4 through the first pipe 3 by the liquid pump 2 on the electrolytic cell 1, and the electrolyte flows through the filter 44, and the impurities are filtered out. Under the pumping of the water pump 5, the electrolyte flows back into the electrolytic cell 1 from the second pipe 6. When the electrolyte flows through the drainage groove 51, it drives the fan blade 723 to rotate, and then drives the quantitative roller 72 to rotate. When the opening 721 of the quantitative roller 72 rotates to the discharge port 712, the quantitative ion supplement liquid carried from the cavity 711 at the opening 721 flows into the electrolyte from the discharge port 712 to automatically and quantitatively supplement the ion concentration in the electrolyte.

[0058] After working for a certain period of time, a person can manually hold the handle 442 to pull out the filter plate 44, clean the impurities on it, and then install it back in place after completion.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
