Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper electrolytic smelting technology, specifically to an electrolyte high-level tank. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolyte leveling tanks are widely used equipment in industrial production, playing a crucial role, especially in electrolysis and electroplating. Often simply called leveling tanks, they are containers used to store and supply electrolyte. They are typically positioned above or near the electrolytic cell to ensure a stable flow of electrolyte into the cell. The structure of a leveling tank may vary depending on the specific application, but it generally includes key components such as the tank body, inlet and outlet pipes, and level gauges.

[0003] Chinese patent (authorization announcement number: CN 221918282 U, authorization announcement date: 2024.10.29) proposes an electrolyte high-level tank. The electrolyte high-level tank provided by this utility model uses a spray plate near the top cover to evenly add the additives added from the additive inlet into the electrolyte in the tank body through the dispersed holes. Like water being sprinkled by a shower, the additives are added to the high-level tank in a large area with fine water jets, which accelerates the efficiency of various additives being evenly dissolved into the electrolyte. It eliminates the need for a stirring device and greatly improves reliability.

[0004] However, the device in the aforementioned patent cannot know or control the temperature of the electrolyte in the high-level tank. The main function of the high-level electrolyte tank is to control and stabilize the flow rate of the electrolyte. Temperature has a certain impact on the state of the electrolyte, thereby affecting the flow rate of the electrolyte and subsequent processing and production. In order to effectively control the temperature in the high-level electrolyte tank, we propose the high-level electrolyte tank. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an electrolyte high-level tank. By setting a liquid-cooled ring pipe and two sets of heating chambers in the high-level tank, the electrolyte can be cooled and heated. The three sets of temperature sensors installed in the high-level tank can monitor the temperature of the electrolyte at different depths, so that the staff can better judge whether to cool or heat the electrolyte. This device can keep the electrolyte in the high-level tank at a suitable temperature, which is beneficial to the subsequent processing and production of the electrolyte [1], and solves the problem in the background.

[0015] 1. This high-level electrolyte tank uses a liquid-cooled ring pipe and two sets of heating chambers to cool and heat the electrolyte.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-8This utility model provides a technical solution: an electrolyte high-level tank, including a high-level tank body 1, a liquid-cooled ring pipe 10 fixedly installed inside the high-level tank body 1, an inlet pipe 12 and an outlet pipe 13 fixedly installed on the high-level tank body 1, both the inlet pipe 12 and the outlet pipe 13 being fixedly connected to the liquid-cooled ring pipe 10, an upper cover plate 4 fixedly installed on the high-level tank body 1 by several limiting bolts, two sets of heating chambers 8 fixedly installed on the upper cover plate 4, several electric heating plates fixedly installed inside the heating chambers 8, several heat-conducting plates 18 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the heating chambers 8, and pure water contained inside the heating chambers 8. The system is equipped with a hollow column 7, on which three sets of annular protective covers 11 are fixedly connected. A circular heat transfer block 17 is fixedly connected to the annular protective cover 11, and several heat transfer plates 14 are fixedly installed on the circular heat transfer block 17. Three sets of temperature sensors 16 are fixedly installed inside the hollow column 7, and the probes of the temperature sensors 16 are in contact with the circular heat transfer blocks 17. A feed pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the upper cover plate 4, extending to the bottom of the high-level tank 1. A feed cover 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed pipe 5, and several through holes are opened on the feed cover 15. A discharge pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the high-level tank 1.

[0028] In use, the electrolyte enters the high-level tank 1 through the feed pipe 5 and the feed hood 15, and flows out of the high-level tank 1 through the discharge pipe 3. The feed pipe 5 is positioned at the bottom of the high-level tank 1, and the feed hood 15, with several through holes, is installed at the bottom of the feed pipe 5. This reduces the impact force between the electrolyte and the high-level tank 1 as it enters, effectively reducing bubble formation and improving the electrolyte's conductivity. After the electrolyte enters the high-level tank 1, three sets of temperature sensors 16 inside the hollow column 7 begin monitoring the electrolyte temperature. The heat transfer plate 14 and the circular heat transfer block 17 work together to transmit the electrolyte temperature to the corresponding temperature sensors 16. The three sets of temperature sensors 16 monitor the temperature of the electrolyte at different depths. This device allows staff to more clearly determine whether the electrolyte needs to be cooled or heated. When cooling is required, coolant enters the liquid-cooled ring pipe 10 through the inlet pipe 12 and flows out through the outlet pipe 13. The coolant in the liquid-cooled ring pipe 10 begins to cool the electrolyte until it reaches a suitable temperature, at which point the coolant circulation stops. When heating is required for the electrolyte in the high-level tank 1, the electric heating element in the heating chamber 8 is activated. The electric heating element heats the purified water in the heating chamber 8, and then the purified water transfers heat to the heat-conducting plate 18 on the outer surface of the heating chamber 8. Finally, the heat-conducting plate 18 transfers heat to the electrolyte, thus raising the temperature of the electrolyte. This device ensures that the electrolyte in the high-level tank 1 is always at a suitable temperature, which is beneficial for subsequent processing and production of the electrolyte.

[0029] A cleaning window is provided on the left side of the high-level tank 1, and a sealing cover 6 is fixedly installed on the cleaning window by several bolts. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the high-level tank 1, the sealing cover 6 can be opened, so that the inside of the high-level tank 1 can be entered for cleaning.

[0030] An ultrasonic liquid level sensor 19 is fixedly embedded on the upper cover plate 4, which can monitor the liquid level position of the electrolyte in the high-level tank 1.

[0031] A sealing groove 9 is provided on the high-level tank body 1, and a sealing strip is fixedly installed below the upper cover plate 4. The sealing groove 9 and the sealing strip cooperate with each other to improve the airtightness of the high-level tank body 1.

[0032] Several support columns 2 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the high-level tank 1. Anti-slip pads are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support columns 2. The support columns 2 support the high-level tank 1, and the anti-slip pads can improve stability.

[0033] Working principle: During use, the electrolyte enters the high-level tank 1 through the feed pipe 5 and the feed cover 15, and flows out of the high-level tank 1 through the discharge pipe 3. The feed pipe 5 is extended to the bottom of the high-level tank 1, and the feed cover 15 with several through holes is installed at the bottom of the feed pipe 5. This reduces the impact force between the electrolyte and the high-level tank 1 when the electrolyte enters, thereby effectively reducing the generation of bubbles and improving the conductivity of the electrolyte.

[0034] After the electrolyte enters the high-level tank 1, the three sets of temperature sensors 16 inside the hollow column 7 begin to monitor the electrolyte temperature. The heat transfer plate 14 and the circular heat transfer block 17 work together to transfer the electrolyte temperature to the corresponding temperature sensor 16. The three sets of temperature sensors 16 monitor the temperature of the electrolyte at different depths, allowing the staff to more clearly determine whether the electrolyte needs to be cooled or heated. When cooling of the electrolyte is required, coolant is introduced into the liquid-cooled ring pipe 10 through the inlet pipe 12 and flows out from the outlet pipe 13. The coolant in tank 10 begins to cool the electrolyte until it reaches a suitable temperature, at which point the coolant circulation stops. When it is necessary to heat the electrolyte in the high-level tank 1, the electric heating element in the heating chamber 8 is activated. The electric heating element heats the purified water in the heating chamber 8, and then the purified water transfers heat to the heat-conducting plate 18 on the outer surface of the heating chamber 8. Finally, the heat-conducting plate 18 transfers heat to the electrolyte, thereby raising the temperature of the electrolyte. This device ensures that the electrolyte in the high-level tank 1 is always at a suitable temperature, which is beneficial for subsequent processing and production of the electrolyte.

[0035] Among them, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 19 can monitor the liquid level position of the electrolyte in the high-level tank 1, thereby determining the amount of electrolyte in the high-level tank 1; the support column 2 provides support for the high-level tank 1, and the anti-slip pad at its bottom can improve the stability of the support column 2.
