Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolyte circulation technology, specifically to an anti-splash device for electrolyte overflow. Background Technology
[0002] During electrolytic refining, the electrolyte must be continuously circulated to maintain its temperature and concentration within the appropriate range in the electrolytic cell. In copper electrolysis, operators typically use level gauges to secure the lifting lugs, reduce liquid level line particles on the cathode plate, and minimize deposits on the electrode surface. However, when operators raise or lower the level gauges, electrolyte often splashes from the overflow pipe, resulting in it getting onto clothing, body, face, and eyes. Furthermore, during circulation, some floating debris inevitably enters the overflow pipe, leading to blockages or impaired fluid flow over time.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of liquid inlet device that can efficiently introduce liquid while effectively preventing electrolyte splashing and preventing foreign matter from entering the overflow pipe. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the existing technical difficulties, this utility model aims to provide a novel liquid inlet device that can avoid electrolyte splashing and prevent foreign matter from entering the overflow pipe.
[0005] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An anti-splash device for electrolyte overflow includes an ear-shaped overflow trough, an overflow pipe, a cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit, and a level gauge, wherein the overflow pipe, the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit, and the level gauge have the same inner and outer diameters.
[0007] Furthermore, the overflow pipe is welded to the center of the ear-shaped overflow groove, which facilitates the flow of liquid from the center of the overflow groove into the pipe, and the upper end of the overflow pipe has a protruding ring;
[0008] Furthermore, the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit consists of a protruding ring at the upper end, a fixing member, an anti-splash cover, and a concave groove at the lower end;
[0009] Furthermore, the protruding ring and the concave groove have the same inner and outer radii, and the protruding ring and the concave groove fit together perfectly. The cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit and the overflow pipe are connected through the nesting between the protruding ring and the concave groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the blowout preventer is a conical shell type, a frustum type, or a disc type blowout preventer, preferably a conical shell type blowout preventer. The blowout preventer is connected to the inner wall of the liquid inlet kit through four fasteners, and a liquid inlet is provided between the blowout preventer and the inner wall of the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit.
[0011] Furthermore, the liquid level sensor has a concave groove at its lower end, which is connected to the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit through the concave groove. The overflow height is controlled by lifting and lowering the liquid level sensor, and the height of the liquid level sensor is determined according to the height of the electrolytic cathode plate window.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This utility model uses an overflow pipe, a cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit, and a liquid level sensor to facilitate liquid inlet. It enables the liquid to overflow smoothly into the pipe while effectively preventing the liquid inside the pipe from splashing upwards, greatly reducing the danger to operators. It also prevents large debris from entering the overflow pipe and clogging it. The overflow height of the electrolyte can be controlled by raising and lowering the liquid level sensor. The components are connected by concave grooves for easy disassembly and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete. Example

The outer diameter of the overflow pipe is 75mm and the inner diameter is 62mm.

The conical shell-shaped blowout preventer is connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit through four fixing pieces. The diameter of the conical shell-shaped blowout preventer is 50mm and the height is 35mm. The height of the liquid level gauge is 30mm.
[0020] When installing the anti-splash device, first connect the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit to the protruding ring of the overflow pipe through the concave groove, so that the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit is inserted into the overflow pipe. Then connect the level gauge to the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit through the concave groove, and insert the level gauge into the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit.
[0021] During the electrolyte overflow process, the electrolyte flows from top to bottom through the anti-splash device into the return main pipe at a flow rate of 24 L / min. Operators can adjust the electrolyte overflow height by raising or lowering the level gauge. The conical anti-splash shield can block the upward splashing liquid in the return pipe. Example

[0023] When installing the anti-splash device, first connect the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit to the protruding ring of the overflow pipe through the concave groove, so that the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit is inserted into the overflow pipe. Then connect the level gauge to the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit through the concave groove, and insert the level gauge into the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit.
[0024] During electrolyte overflow, the electrolyte flows from top to bottom through the anti-splash device into the return main pipe at a flow rate of 24 L / min. Operators can adjust the electrolyte overflow height by raising or lowering the level gauge. The frustum-shaped anti-splash shield can basically block the upward splashing liquid in the return pipe. However, when the upward splashing liquid velocity and splash volume in the pipe are large, the frustum-shaped anti-splash shield will shake and deviate from the protruding ring of the overflow pipe.

The outer diameter of the overflow pipe is 75mm and the inner diameter is 62mm. The cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit consists of a protruding ring at the upper end, a fixing piece, a conical blowout preventer, and a concave groove at the lower end. The height of the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit is 70mm, of which the thickness of the protruding ring is 3.5mm and the protrusion height of the protruding ring is 6mm. The conical blowout preventer is connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit through four fixing pieces. The diameter of the conical blowout preventer is 48mm and the height is 45mm. The height of the level gauge is 30mm.
[0026] When installing the anti-splash device, first connect the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit to the protruding ring of the overflow pipe through the concave groove, so that the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit is inserted into the overflow pipe. Then connect the level gauge to the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit through the concave groove, and insert the level gauge into the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit.
[0027] During the electrolyte overflow process, the electrolyte flows from top to bottom through the anti-splash device into the return main pipe at a flow rate of 32L / min. Operators can adjust the electrolyte overflow height by raising or lowering the level gauge. The conical anti-splash shield can block the upward splashing liquid in the return pipe.
[0028] A splash-proof device for electrolyte overflow includes an ear-shaped overflow trough, an overflow pipe, a cylindrical splash-proof inlet kit, and a level gauge, wherein the electrolytic cell has a volume of 9.4 m³. 3The ear-shaped overflow trough is fixed on both sides of the electrolytic cell, and the overflow pipe is welded to the center of the ear-shaped overflow trough. The outer diameter of the overflow pipe is 75mm and the inner diameter is 62mm. The cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit consists of a protruding ring at the upper end, a fixing piece, a disc-shaped blowout shield, and a concave groove at the lower end. The height of the cylindrical anti-splash liquid inlet kit is 70mm, the thickness of the protruding ring is 3.5mm, and the protrusion height of the protruding ring is 4mm.

[0030] During electrolyte overflow, the electrolyte flows from top to bottom through the anti-splash device into the return main pipe at a flow rate of 30 L / min. Operators can adjust the electrolyte overflow height by raising or lowering the level gauge. The disc-shaped anti-splash shield cannot effectively block the upward splashing liquid in the return pipe. When the upward splashing liquid velocity and volume in the pipe are large, the disc-shaped anti-splash shield will shake and detach from the protruding ring of the overflow pipe, thus losing its anti-splashing function.
