Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, and in particular to a leak-proof suspended hopper for transporting anode mud. Background Technology

[0002] Anode mud is a mud-like substance that adheres to the surface of the anode substrate, settles at the bottom of the electrolytic cell, or is suspended in the electrolyte during electrolytic refining. It is rich in precious metals and has extremely high recycling value. For example, the value of gold and silver produced from anode mud in common copper and lead electrolytic refining is enough to offset the processing cost of the entire electrolytic refining process. Therefore, after electrolytic refining, workers collect the anode mud from the bottom of the electrolytic cell. At this time, the anode mud is soft and muddy, with high water content and weight, making it highly mobile and difficult to handle. It is usually loaded directly into a hopper. For example, Chinese patent document CN202321170323.6 discloses a mobile hopper for handling anode mud, which includes a mobile hopper body. The bottom wall of the mobile hopper body is provided with a discharge opening. A push plate is slidably provided inside the mobile hopper body. A draw plate is slidably provided on the push plate. The bottom surface of the draw plate abuts against the bottom wall of the mobile hopper body, and the draw plate is directly opposite the discharge opening. The inner wall of the mobile hopper body is provided with a plug-in slide rail. The side wall of the mobile hopper body is provided with a plug-in opening at the bottom wall, which penetrates the side wall of the mobile hopper body. The push plate is plugged into the plug-in slide rail, and the draw plate is plugged into the plug-in opening. The aforementioned method utilizes a pusher plate to restrict the flow of anode mud and dynamically adjusts the accommodating cavity between the pusher plate and the side wall of the mobile container body. Different sized accommodating cavities are provided for different mass fractions of anode mud to prevent splashing or overflow, thus ensuring transportation stability. However, due to the high moisture content and weight of the anode mud, uneven distribution of the anode mud in accommodating cavities located in different parts of the mobile container body can easily lead to unstable suspension and affect production safety.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to provide a leak-proof suspended hopper for transporting anode mud, which provides a uniform loading cavity for the heavy and easily flowing anode mud, ensuring stability during suspension transportation and improving production safety.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2This utility model provides a leak-proof suspended hopper for transporting anode mud, including a hopper body 10. The hopper body 10 has a square shell structure with openings on both sides. Vertical plates 11 are connected to the side openings of the hopper body 10, and horizontal cover plates 12 are connected to the top opening of the hopper body 10. A loading cavity 13 is formed inside the hopper body 10. The horizontal cover plates 12 are horizontally and slidably installed in the loading cavity 13. Multiple horizontal cover plates 12 are provided, and part of the side of the horizontal cover plate 12 abuts against the side wall of the loading cavity 13. In use, the anode mud is loaded into the loading cavity 13, and then the horizontal cover plates 12 are installed into the loading cavity 13, with the bottom surface of the horizontal cover plates 12 abutting against the top of the anode mud, thereby achieving stable loading of the anode mud and preventing it from shaking. When it is necessary to release the anode mud, the vertical plates 11 are pulled out, allowing the anode mud to be discharged from the hopper body 10, completing the discharge.

[0024] In this embodiment, the side of the vertical insert plate 11 is slidably connected to the wall of the pod body 10. A sealing strip (not shown in the figure) is provided between the side of the vertical insert plate 11 and the pod body 10. The sealing strip is made of rubber to ensure the sealing effect of the loading cavity 13. A handle (not shown in the figure) is provided on the top of the vertical insert plate 11 to facilitate the operator to pull and control the opening and closing of the loading cavity 13.

[0025] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 The inner wall of the loading cavity 13 is provided with a sliding groove 14. The sliding groove 14 is opened from the top surface of the main body 10 downward. The sliding groove 14 is symmetrically arranged on two opposite walls of the loading cavity 13. The horizontal cover plate 12 is provided with a protrusion 15. The protrusion 15 is fitted and connected in the sliding groove 14 and is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 14. In use, the horizontal cover plate 12 is fitted into the loading cavity 13 along the sliding groove 14 to ensure the stability of the installation.

[0026] In this embodiment, a handle 16 is also provided on the upper surface of the horizontal cover plate 12. The handles 16 are symmetrically arranged on the horizontal cover plate 12 to ensure convenient installation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the slide groove 14 is dovetail groove shaped, and the protrusion 15 is dovetail tenon shaped. The dovetail tenon is used to connect to the dovetail groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the sliding connection.

[0028] Furthermore, a groove 17 is provided on the upper surface of the horizontal cover plate 12. The groove 17 is opened downward from the top surface of the horizontal cover plate 12, and simultaneously penetrates the wall of the horizontal cover plate 12 from its side. A connecting plate 18 is fitted inside the groove 17. The connecting plate 18 is detachably connected to the horizontal cover plate 12 using fasteners such as bolts or screws. The length of the connecting plate 18 is greater than the width of the horizontal cover plate 12. In this way, multiple horizontal cover plates 12 can be detachably connected into one unit using the connecting plate 18, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. In use, by connecting multiple horizontal cover plates 12 into one unit and ensuring that they are horizontal, the internal anode mud is prevented from flowing out, thus improving the suspension stability.

[0029] In this embodiment, the horizontal cover plate 12 is also provided with an observation window 19, which penetrates the wall of the horizontal cover plate 12. The observation window 19 is provided with transparent glass (not shown in the figure) to facilitate the operator to effectively monitor the installation position of the horizontal cover plate 12 when installing the horizontal cover plate 12 into the loading cavity 13, so as to ensure the accuracy of the installation.

[0030] In this embodiment, a sealing gasket (not shown) is provided on the side wall of the horizontal cover plate 12. The sealing gasket is made of rubber, and part of the sealing gasket is fitted between the horizontal cover plate 12 and the wall of the loading cavity 13. At the same time, another part of the sealing gasket is fitted between the two horizontal cover plates 12. This ensures a sealing effect and prevents anode mud from overflowing.

[0031] This invention utilizes a horizontal cover plate 12 installed horizontally within the main body 10 of the hopper to seal the anode mud within the loading cavity 13, reducing the volume of fluid in the cavity and preventing the anode mud from shaking or overflowing during suspension, thus ensuring transportation stability. Simultaneously, the anode mud located at the bottom of the main body 10 is evenly distributed, preventing the hopper body 10 from tilting during suspension and improving suspension stability and safety.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The outer wall of the suspended pod body 10 is provided with lifting lugs 20. Multiple lifting lugs 20 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite side walls of the suspended pod body 10. Three rows of lifting lugs 20 are symmetrically arranged on one side wall of the suspended pod body 10, horizontally arranged from top to bottom. Each row of lifting lugs 20 includes at least two lugs. The spacing between the uppermost row of lifting lugs 20 is the largest, and the spacing between the lowermost row of lifting lugs 20 is the smallest, thereby increasing the distribution area of ​​the lifting lugs 20 on the side wall of the suspended pod body 10. During suspension, hooks (not shown) are used to symmetrically suspend the lifting lugs 20 at different locations, ensuring that the suspended pod body 10 is subjected to uniform force during suspension and preventing tilting.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the hoist body 10 is also provided with casters 21 to ensure the stability of the movement of the hoist body 10.

[0034] The specific operation method of this utility model is as follows: Step 1: Insert the vertical insert plate 11 into the main body 10 of the hopper, and then add the anode mud into the loading cavity 13 of the main body 10 of the hopper to complete the material addition.

[0035] Step 2: Connect the horizontal cover plate 12 into the loading cavity 13 so that the horizontal cover plate 12 abuts against the upper surface of the anode mud, and then install the connecting plate 18 onto the horizontal cover plate 12 so that the anode mud is in a sealed state.

[0036] Step 3: Using hooks to symmetrically suspend the lifting lugs 20 at different parts of the pod body 10, the pod body 10 is subjected to uniform force during suspension, thus completing the suspension transport.

[0037] This invention utilizes a horizontal cover plate 12 installed horizontally within the main body 10 of the hopper to seal the anode mud within the loading cavity 13, reducing the volume of fluid in the cavity and preventing the anode mud from shaking or overflowing during suspension, thus ensuring transportation stability. Simultaneously, the anode mud located at the bottom of the main body 10 is evenly distributed, and combined with the evenly and symmetrically arranged lifting lugs 20 on the outside of the main body 10, effectively prevents the main body 10 from tilting during suspension, improving suspension stability and safety.
