Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of descaling electrode disassembly technology, specifically a descaling electrode structure that is easy to disassemble and clean. Background Technology

[0002] A descaling electrode is an electrode device used to prevent and remove scale. In water treatment systems and other environments, when water contains ions such as calcium and magnesium, these ions easily form scale such as calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate under heating or other conditions. The descaling electrode mainly interferes with the scale formation process or removes the scale that has already formed through electrochemical methods.

[0003] When the descaling electrode is in use, it generates a certain concentration of hydroxide and carbonate ions in the cathode area. This causes calcium and magnesium ions in the water to combine with hydroxide and carbonate ions to form calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and magnesium carbonate, which adhere to the cathode shell in large quantities to form a scale of a certain thickness. Common treatment methods for this type of scale include physical tapping and rinsing, chemical acidic cleaning solution cleaning, and electrochemical reverse electrolysis cleaning. The most common and efficient treatment is manual tapping and rinsing. However, due to the increased use time, the scale thickens and extends to the inner wall of the outer shell. In addition to the original cleaning, the entire descaling electrode needs to be disassembled. As mentioned in patent CN216808239U, the electrode distribution method of outer cylinder and inner plate is prone to uneven distribution of the electrolyte and electric field between the electrodes, disordered migration and reaction of ions and electrochemical substances, which affects the overall descaling efficiency. At the same time, the installation bolts affect the overall disassembly efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a descaling electrode structure that is easy to disassemble and clean. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a descaling electrode structure that is easy to disassemble and clean in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-disassemble and clean descaling electrode structure, including an electrode junction box, an electrode cover plate, and an electrode base. A cathode head frame is installed at the bottom of the electrode cover plate, and a cathode tail frame is installed at the top of the electrode base. The cathode head frame and the cathode tail frame are fixed together by reinforcing ribs. A quick-installation and disassembly mechanism is installed on the electrode cover plate and the electrode base.

[0007] The quick installation and disassembly mechanism includes a cylindrical column and a pull rod. The pull rod is slidably connected inside the cylindrical column, and one end of the pull rod passes through the cylindrical column and is slidably connected to the cylindrical column. A return spring is sleeved and connected inside the cylindrical column and located on the side of the pull rod. Ball bearings are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the cylindrical column, and a limit groove is formed on the pull rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the electrode junction box is symmetrically connected with anode terminals, and the electrode junction box is equipped with cathode terminals.

[0009] Furthermore, an anode tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electrode cover plate, one end of the anode terminal penetrates the electrode cover plate and abuts against the anode tube, and one end of the cathode terminal rod penetrates the electrode cover plate and is connected to the cathode head frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a cathode titanium mesh is installed and fixed on the cathode head frame and cathode tail frame, and on one side of the reinforcing rib.

[0011] Furthermore, the anode tube, cathode head frame, reinforcing ribs, and cathode titanium mesh on the cathode tail frame form a concentric circular electrode structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, by setting a descaling electrode with a concentric circular structure, the electric field distribution between the electrodes can be made more uniform. In the concentric circular electrode design, the electric field lines will be distributed radially with the center of the circle as the center. When the inner electrode is the anode and the outer electrode is the cathode, the electric field lines emitted from the anode can pass through the electrolyte in the middle more uniformly and reach the cathode. The uniform electric field distribution helps to ensure that the electrolysis process is carried out uniformly in the entire electrode area. At the same time, the reactants move to the electrode more uniformly, which is beneficial to inhibit the formation of scale in the entire treatment area, rather than only having an effect in a local area, thereby improving the scale prevention and mass transfer efficiency of the entire system.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, a quick-release mechanism is installed on the sealing box covers on both sides, and the entire descaling electrode can be quickly disassembled by manually pulling it off. Compared with the traditional bolt and nut connection method, which requires tightening the bolts multiple times each time it is disassembled and assembled, this solution only requires pulling the lever to release the ball lock, which greatly simplifies the disassembly and assembly process, improves the shell peeling efficiency, and accelerates the subsequent cleaning of the descaling electrode.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] Example 1: When an electric current passes through an aqueous solution containing scale-forming ions such as calcium and magnesium, an oxidation reaction occurs at the anode of the descaling electrode. Taking a common sodium chloride solution as an example, chloride ions lose electrons at the anode to become chlorine gas. The generated chlorine gas reacts with water to produce hypochlorous acid and other substances with strong oxidizing properties. These oxidizing substances can decompose insoluble substances such as calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide in the scale, converting them into soluble calcium and magnesium salts, thereby achieving the purpose of removing scale. At the same time, a reduction reaction occurs at the cathode. Hydrogen ions in the water gain electrons to generate hydrogen gas. Due to the electric field, calcium and magnesium ions in the water migrate to the cathode and accumulate on the cathode surface, which to some extent prevents them from accumulating in other parts of the equipment to form scale. However, a certain concentration of hydroxide ions and carbonate ions are generated in the cathode area, which promotes the combination of calcium and magnesium ions with hydroxide ions and carbonate ions to form calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and magnesium carbonate, which adhere to the cathode shell in large quantities to form a scale of a certain thickness. Therefore, the cathode shell needs to be cleaned regularly during the use of the descaling electrode.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model adopts a concentric circle electrode arrangement. A cathode titanium mesh 4 is installed on the electrode cover plate 2 and the electrode base 6. The cathode titanium mesh 4 is fixed to the cathode head frame 3 and the cathode tail frame 5, and is stabilized by independently installed reinforcing ribs, facilitating subsequent maintenance. The three components are installed and fixed together by a quick-release mechanism 7. In specific use, a cylindrical column 701 is inserted into the holes on the electrode cover plate 2, cathode head frame 3, cathode tail frame 5, and electrode base 6. The structure of the cylindrical column 701 is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ball bearings 704 normally located on the inner wall of the cylinder 701 are pushed out by the movable pull rod 702, causing the cylinder 701, which is directly inserted, to be unable to directly enter the hole between the electrode cover plates 2.

[0025] Therefore, during the overall assembly of the descaling electrode structure, the head of the pull rod 702 on the entire cylinder 701 needs to be pushed outwards, so that the ball bearings 704 located on the side of the cylinder 701 are engaged in the upper limit groove 705 of the pull rod 702. Without the ball bearings 704 limiting the movement, the cylinder 701 can be directly engaged onto the electrode cover plate 2 and the electrode base 6. After releasing the grip, the return spring 703 installed at the end of the cylinder 701 is used to press the pull rod 702, causing the pull rod 702 to press the ball bearings 704 on the outer wall of the cylinder 701 again. The protruding ball bearings 704 complete the electrical... With the electrode base 6 locked, the descaling electrode shell is assembled. In subsequent use, if the entire cathode titanium mesh 4 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the pull rod 702 at the end of the three cylinders 701 is pulled to release the quick disassembly mechanism 7, moving the entire electrode base 6. At the same time, the electrode cover plate 2 with the electrode junction box 1 is pulled out, and the cathode titanium mesh 4 is then rinsed and cleaned, improving the overall cleaning effect of the descaling electrode. Compared with the traditional spiral disassembly, the installation of the quick disassembly mechanism 7 reduces the original disassembly time to less than 2 minutes, improving disassembly efficiency.

[0026] Example 2: Electrode installation for the entire descaling process, such as Figure 2 As shown, three poles extend from the electrode junction box 1. Two anode poles 8 penetrate the electrode cover plate 2 and are connected to the fixed anode tube 10, while a single cathode pole 9 is connected to the cathode head frame 3.

[0027] The cathode consists of a cathode head frame 3, a cathode tail frame 5, and a cathode titanium mesh 4 installed between them. The anode is an anode tube 10. The electrodes are arranged in a concentric circle structure, which makes the electric field distribution between the electrodes more uniform. In the concentric circle electrode design, the electric field lines are distributed radially with the center of the circle as the center. When the inner electrode is the anode and the outer electrode is the cathode, the electric field lines emitted from the anode can pass through the electrolyte in the middle more uniformly and reach the cathode. The uniform electric field distribution helps to ensure that the electrolysis process is carried out uniformly in the entire electrode area, which is beneficial to inhibit the formation of scale in the entire treatment area, rather than only having an effect in a local area, thereby improving the scale prevention efficiency of the entire system.

[0028] In the water treatment system of industrial boilers, concentric descaling electrodes can efficiently remove calcium and magnesium ions from the water, preventing scale buildup on the boiler's inner wall. Compared with traditional electrode layouts, concentric electrodes can process more circulating water in the same amount of time and ensure the stability of the descaling effect, effectively extending the boiler's operating cycle and reducing energy waste and equipment maintenance frequency caused by scale.

[0029] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model.
