DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to the appendix of the specification. Figure 1-4 , a lithium hexafluorophosphate crystallization kettle includes a treatment kettle 1, the lower end of the surface of the treatment kettle 1 is connected to a connecting pipe 2, the top of the treatment kettle 1 is connected to a feed pipe 5, the lower end of the surface of the connecting pipe 2 is connected to a discharge pipe 3, an anti-dismantling mechanism 4, the anti-dismantling mechanism 4 includes a drain pipe 41 connected to the lower end of the surface of the treatment kettle 1, the upper end of the surface of the connecting pipe 2 is connected to a compression pipe 42 and an exhaust pipe 43, one end of the connecting pipe 2 is connected to an inlet pipe 44, the inner wall of the inlet pipe 44 is provided with a movable hole 46, the inner wall of the movable hole 46 is fixedly connected to a slide 48, the inner wall of the slide 48 is slidably connected to a block 47, the end of the block 47 is fixedly connected to a spring 49, and the other end of the spring 49 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide 48.

[0028] The inner wall of the processing kettle 1 is provided with a hot and cold coal coil, both ends of the hot and cold coal coil pass through and extend out of the inner wall of the processing kettle 1. The top of the processing kettle 1 is fixedly connected to a third servo motor, and the output shaft of the third servo motor is fixedly connected to a stirring shaft, and the surface of the stirring shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing kettle 1.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present invention, when lithium hexafluorophosphate needs to be prepared, the feed pipe 5, the discharge pipe 3, the hot and cold coal coils, the drain pipe 41, the pressure pipe 42, the exhaust pipe 43 and the introduction pipe 44 are respectively connected to the corresponding pipes through flanges. The working process of the processing kettle 1 is operated by the control panel, so that the feeding system automatically delivers the lithium hexafluorophosphate solution or other required materials to the processing kettle 1 through the feed pipe 5, the temperature control system automatically delivers the coolant to the hot and cold coal coils to cool the processing kettle 1, and automatically delivers the mother liquor to the introduction pipe 44. The mother liquor pushes the block 47 to move during the flow in the introduction pipe 44, and the block As block 47 moves, it compresses spring 49 and opens movable hole 46, allowing the mother liquor to be transported into processing kettle 1 through the open movable hole 46 and connecting pipe 2. This automatically activates the third servo motor, and its output shaft rotates to drive the stirring shaft to stir the material in processing kettle 1. Because the mother liquor contains dissolved lithium hexafluorophosphate, it provides the necessary ion concentration for crystal growth. By cooling or evaporating the mother liquor, the lithium hexafluorophosphate reaches a supersaturated state, thereby promoting crystal precipitation. When drying is required, the temperature control system introduces hot water into the hot and cold coal coils to increase the temperature in processing kettle 1, thereby heating the wet material and evaporating the solvent. At this time, the stirring shaft stirs the material in processing kettle 1, causing the material to continuously contact the inner wall of processing kettle 1, thereby drying the material and obtaining lithium hexafluorophosphate of higher purity.

[0030] During the crystallization process of lithium hexafluorophosphate, after the crystals are precipitated from the solution, some uncrystallized acidic liquid, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or other acidic substances, may remain in the treatment kettle 1. At this time, the drain pipe 41 is opened to discharge the residual acidic liquid in the treatment kettle 1 into the designated container through the drain pipe 41.

[0031] The waste gas generated in the treatment kettle 1 is guided into the exhaust pipe 43 through the connecting pipe 2 and then guided to a suitable location through the exhaust pipe 43 for treatment.

[0032] After the material in the treatment kettle 1 is discharged, nitrogen is injected into the inlet pipe 44. The nitrogen pushes the block 47 to move in the movable hole 46, so that the movable hole 46 is unblocked, and then the nitrogen is used to purge the residual material in the connecting pipe 2, the discharge pipe 3, the treatment kettle 1 and the feed pipe 5. During the purge process, the nitrogen can take away the residual harmful gases and impurities, reducing the risk of operators being exposed to harmful substances, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the equipment, avoiding the inconvenience of disassembling and cleaning the feed pipe 5, the discharge pipe 3 and the corresponding pipelines, and thus avoiding the residual materials or toxic gases in the treatment kettle 1 from being exposed to the air.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, nitrogen is blown into the outlet pipe 3, the connecting pipe 2, the treatment kettle 1 and the feed pipe 5 through the inlet pipe 44, thereby achieving safe and convenient cleaning of the lithium hexafluorophosphate crystallization kettle.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 3-4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner walls of the feed pipe 5, the discharge pipe 41, the discharge pipe 3, and the exhaust pipe 43 are all rotatably connected to a stopper 45. The surfaces of the feed pipe 5, the discharge pipe 41, the discharge pipe 3, and the exhaust pipe 43 are all fixedly connected to a first servo motor 410. The output shaft of the first servo motor 410 is fixedly connected to one end of the stopper 45. The inner walls of the feed pipe 5, the discharge pipe 41, the discharge pipe 3, and the exhaust pipe 43 are all fixedly connected to an elastic ring 411. The surface of the stopper 45 contacts the surface of the elastic ring 411. The upper end of the surface of the stopper 45 is fixedly connected to a slider 412. The surfaces of the feed pipe 5, the discharge pipe 41, the discharge pipe 3, and the exhaust pipe 43 are all fixedly connected to an arc block 413. The elastic ring 411 is a rubber component.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, when discharge is required, the first servo motor 410 on the discharge pipe 3 is automatically turned on by operating the control panel. The output shaft of the first servo motor 410 rotates, driving the slider 412 and the stopper 45 to move in a circular motion. The slider 412 moves and contacts the end of the arc block 413, and the first servo motor 410 is automatically turned off, causing the stopper 45 to flip to a vertical position. At this time, the discharge pipe 3 is unobstructed, and the material in the processing kettle 1 is discharged to the corresponding position through the connecting pipe 2 and the discharge pipe 3. According to the above method, when feeding, exhaust gas or acidic liquid are required, the corresponding first servo motor 410 is automatically turned on in sequence.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first servo motor 410 and the block 45 are used to automatically block the inside of the discharge pipe 3, the exhaust pipe 43, the feed pipe 5 and the drain pipe 41, thereby automatically controlling the state of discharging, exhaust gas discharge, feeding and acid liquid discharge, thereby improving the safety of using the lithium hexafluorophosphate crystallization kettle. The elastic ring 411 is used to tightly adhere to the block 45, thereby ensuring the blocking effect of the block 45.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 4 , as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the movable hole 46 is concave in a truncated cone shape, and the surface of the blocking block 47 is truncated cone-shaped.

[0039] In the embodiment of the utility model, through the operation control panel, the second servo motor 414 is automatically started, the output shaft of the second servo motor 414 rotates and drives the auger 415 to rotate, and the auger 415 rotates and rapidly transports the material in the processing kettle 1 to the discharge pipe 3 by the spiral conveying mode.

[0040] In the embodiment of the utility model, through the auger 415 and the second servo motor 414, the material in the processing kettle 1 is rapidly guided and transported to the discharge pipe 3, and the material retention condition is avoided.

[0041] It should be noted that the first servo motor 410, the second servo motor 414, the third servo motor, the processing kettle 1, the auger 415 and the spring 49 in the above description are all relatively mature devices in prior art, and the specific model can be selected according to actual needs, and the power supply of the first servo motor 410, the second servo motor 414 and the third servo motor can be built-in power supply or commercial power supply, and the specific power supply mode is selected as needed, which will not be repeated here.
