Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electrolytic cells, and more specifically, relates to an electrolytic cell. Background Art

[0002] In the electrolytic process of electrolytic manganese smelting, the electrolytic cell is the core equipment, and its operating status directly affects the efficiency and product quality of the entire production line. As the electrolysis process continues, a layer of anode slag gradually accumulates at the bottom of the electrolytic cell. Anode slag mainly consists of incompletely reacted anode material, solid by-products produced during the electrolysis process, and other impurities that may be mixed in. Its presence not only occupies the effective volume of the electrolytic cell and reduces electrolysis efficiency, but also may adversely affect the flow and distribution of the electrolyte, thereby affecting the purity and quality of the electrolysis product.

[0003] Traditional anode slag cleaning relies primarily on manual labor. Workers use tools like shovels to reach deep into the bottom of the electrolytic cell and physically remove the anode slag piece by piece. This process is not only labor-intensive and physically demanding, but also poses safety risks. Residual high-temperature electrolyte, harmful gases, and dust generated during the electrolysis process can pose health risks to workers. Furthermore, manual cleaning is relatively inefficient, making it difficult to meet the continuity and efficiency requirements of modern electrolytic manganese smelting production. Frequent shutdowns for cleaning, especially on large-scale production lines, can severely impact overall production schedules and cost control. Utility Model Content

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used hereinafter have the same meanings as those generally understood by those skilled in the art. The technical terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In order to solve the problem that electrolytic cell slag removal relies on manual operation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an electrolytic cell, which includes a cell body 1 and a pusher assembly 2.

[0032] The tank body 1 is used to accommodate electrolysis equipment and electrolyte, and the bottom of the tank body 1 is provided with a discharge port 11, which is used to discharge anode slag deposited on the bottom of the tank.

[0033] In particular, a pushing assembly 2 is also provided on the tank body 1. The pushing assembly 2 includes a telescopic driving member 21 and a pushing plate 22. The telescopic driving member 21 serves as a power source, and specifically a hydraulic / pneumatic cylinder, an electric push rod, etc. can be selected. The telescopic driving member 21 needs to provide a stable and sufficient driving force to meet the movement requirements of the pushing plate 22 under different working conditions. The pushing plate 22 is in direct contact with the bottom surface of the tank body 1, and is driven by the telescopic driving member 21 to approach or move away from the discharge port 11. During the pushing process, the telescopic driving member 21 is started to drive the pushing plate 22 to move toward the discharge port 11, and gradually push the anode slag at the bottom of the tank toward the discharge port until it is completely discharged. When the cleaning is completed, the telescopic driving member 21 drives the pushing plate 22 back to the initial position to prepare for the next cleaning operation.

[0034] The electrolytic cell of the present application does not require direct human intervention when in use, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves operational safety, while also enhancing the cleaning efficiency of the electrolytic cell and the continuous operation capability of the production line.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the discharge port 11 is arranged close to one side of the trough body 1, and the pushing assembly 2 is arranged close to the side opposite to the discharge port 11 to ensure that the range of action of the pushing assembly 2 can cover the entire bottom of the trough body 1, and both the area close to the discharge port and the area far away from the discharge port can be effectively cleaned.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the electrolytic cell further includes a grid plate 3, which divides the electrolytic cell into an electrolysis area and a discharge area. This not only solves the problem of collecting and removing anode slag during the electrolysis process, but also ensures the stable operation of the electrolysis area without interference. The grid plate 3 is specifically arranged above the pusher assembly 2 and has multiple through holes on the grid plate 3 to ensure that the anode slag can pass through these through holes and be effectively guided from the electrolysis area to the discharge port, thereby achieving the collection and removal of the anode slag.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the grid plate 3 includes a flat plate portion 31 and a vertical plate portion 32. Specifically, the flat plate portion 31 serves as the main body of the grid plate 3, extending along the plane of the bottom surface of the tank body 1 and covering most of the bottom surface of the tank body 1. The vertical plate portion 32 is provided at one end of the flat plate portion 31 and is located above the discharge port 11. The vertical plate portion 32 extends along the axis of the discharge port 11.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown in one embodiment of the present application, a dredging channel 12 is provided above the discharge port 11. The dredging channel 12 is formed by the vertical plate portion 32 and the side wall of the cell body 1. Once the discharge port 11 becomes blocked due to various reasons, an operator can use a dedicated dredging tool to directly reach the blocked part of the discharge port 11 through the dredging channel 12 to perform the dredging operation, thereby ensuring the continuous stable operation and efficient output of the electrolytic cell.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the electrolytic cell further includes a discharge valve 4, which is connected to the discharge port 11. By opening and closing the discharge valve 4, the on-off state of the discharge port 11 can be controlled, thereby achieving regulation of the anode slag discharge process. When the amount of anode slag generated is large, the discharge valve 4 can be opened to achieve rapid discharge of the anode slag; when the amount of anode slag generated is small, the discharge valve 4 can be closed to avoid unnecessary electrolyte loss.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
