Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gallium recovery technology, and in particular to an adsorption tower feeding structure. Background Technology

[0002] Gallium is a relatively rare element with important applications in the semiconductor industry. Gallium forms compounds with group VA elements such as phosphorus and arsenic, which have semiconductor properties and have special application value in optoelectronic devices. It is widely used in the electronics industry, instrumentation industry and other fields.

[0003] In the gallium recovery process of the adsorption tower, the mother liquor needs to be pumped into the adsorption tower, where gallium ions are adsorbed on the nano-medium. However, due to the small connection area between the feed pipe and the adsorption tower, the feed pipe can only transport the mother liquor into the tower in the same direction and at the same position, which reduces the area of ​​reaction and adsorption of the mother liquor in the tower, and thus reduces the efficiency of gallium recovery. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an adsorption tower feeding structure that solves the problem of low gallium recovery efficiency in existing adsorption towers.

[0005] According to the embodiments of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0006] An adsorption tower feed structure, connected between the tower body and the feed pipe, includes:

[0007] The feed pipe is rotatably mounted on the tower body and rotatably connected to the end of the conveying pipe;

[0008] The discharge pipe is arranged radially along the tower body and connected to the feed pipe. The discharge pipe is also provided with several discharge ports that penetrate its interior.

[0009] The driving component, located in the tower body and connected to the feed pipe, is used to drive the feed pipe to rotate, thereby causing the discharge pipe to make a circular motion within the tower body.

[0010] Preferably, the driving component includes a driver, the tower body is fixedly provided with a mounting base, the driver is located on the mounting base, and gears are provided on both the driving end of the driver and the outside of the feed pipe, with the two gears meshing.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting base is equipped with a rotary joint, and the conveying pipe and the feed pipe are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotary joint.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting base is equipped with a bearing, and the feed pipe is located in the inner ring of the bearing.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting base is equipped with a support frame, which is connected to the material conveying pipe.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a connecting hose, one end of which extends into the inside of the feed pipe and the other end of which extends into the inside of the discharge pipe. The end of the feed pipe is provided with a mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is fixedly provided with a mounting sleeve. The discharge pipe is provided with two mounting blocks, and a mounting rod is provided between the two mounting blocks. The mounting rod passes through the mounting sleeve.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting sleeve is provided with a threaded sleeve, and the threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to a compression bolt, the end of which abuts against the mounting rod.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In this scheme, the mother liquor enters the tower body through the feed pipe, inlet pipe, and various outlets, allowing it to enter the adsorption medium within the tower for gallium recovery. Simultaneously, with the assistance of the drive components, the feed pipe rotates within the tower body, causing the outlet pipe to perform circular motion within the tower. This significantly increases the contact area and time between the mother liquor and the medium, ensuring uniform distribution of the mother liquor throughout the tower body. Furthermore, the rotating outlet method breaks the laminar flow effect during the mother liquor flow process, promoting thorough mixing within the liquid and between the liquid and the adsorption medium, thereby improving the overall efficiency of gallium recovery.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention proposes an adsorption tower feeding structure, connected between the tower body 1 and the conveying pipe 2, comprising:

[0024] The feed pipe 3 is rotatably mounted on the tower body 1 and rotatably connected to the end of the conveying pipe 2;

[0025] The discharge pipe 4 is arranged radially along the tower body 1 and connected to the feed pipe 3. The discharge pipe 4 is also provided with several discharge ports 401 that penetrate its interior.

[0026] A drive unit is located in the tower body 1 and connected to the feed pipe 3. It is used to drive the feed pipe 3 to rotate so as to drive the discharge pipe 4 to make a circular motion inside the tower body 1.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, the conveying pipe 2 and the feed pipe 3 are rotatably connected. The end of the feed pipe 3 can be sleeved on the end of the conveying pipe 2, which neither affects the delivery of the mother liquor nor prevents the feed pipe 3 from rotating. The feed pipe 3 can be directly connected to the discharge pipe 4, allowing the mother liquor to pass sequentially through the conveying pipe 2 and the feed pipe 3 into the discharge pipe 4. Finally, the mother liquor is discharged through the discharge ports 401 radially distributed along the tower body 1. Simultaneously, under the action of the driving component, the feed pipe 3 can be driven to rotate within the tower body 1, causing the discharge pipe 4 to perform a circular motion within the tower body 1. This allows the discharge ports 401 to distribute the discharged mother liquor throughout the entire tower body 1 during the motion, significantly increasing the contact area and time between the mother liquor and the medium. This ensures that the mother liquor is evenly distributed throughout the entire tower body 1. Furthermore, the rotating discharge method breaks the laminar flow effect during the mother liquor flow process, promoting thorough mixing within the liquid and between the liquid and the adsorption medium, thereby improving the overall efficiency of gallium recovery.

[0028] Based on the above solutions, such as Figure 2 As shown, the driving component includes a driver 9. A mounting base 8 is fixedly provided on the tower body 1. The driver 9 is mounted on the mounting base 8. Gears 901 are provided on both the driving end of the driver 9 and the outer side of the feed pipe 3, and the two gears 901 mesh with each other. Specifically, when the driver drives the feed pipe 3, starting the driver 9 causes its drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 901 to rotate. The other gear 901 has a hollow center and is fixedly located on the outer side of the feed pipe 3. When the gear 901 connected to the driver 9 rotates, it drives the other gear 901 to rotate, thereby driving the feed pipe 3 to rotate. Since the discharge pipe 4 is arranged radially along the tower body 1, the discharge pipe 4 and the feed pipe 3 form an L-shaped structure. When the feed pipe 3 rotates, the discharge pipe 4 can move circumferentially within the tower body 1 around the feed pipe 3 as its axis. The driver 9 uses a motor for electric drive.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the mounting base 8 is equipped with a rotary joint 11, and the conveying pipe 2 and the feed pipe 3 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotary joint 11. The rotary joint 11 can be a BQ type heat transfer oil rotary joint, which has higher temperature resistance. By fixing the fixed end of the rotary joint 11 on the mounting base 8 and connecting the conveying pipe 2 to the fixed end of the rotary joint 11, and connecting the feed pipe 3 to the rotating end of the rotary joint 11, the method of connecting the conveying pipe 2 and the feed pipe 3 together is eliminated. Using the rotary joint 11 can effectively reduce wear caused by mechanical movement, and at the same time, the sealing performance is better.

[0030] Secondly, the mounting base 8 is equipped with a bearing 10, and the feed pipe 3 is located in the inner ring of the bearing 10. The bearing 10 provides low-friction rotational support for the feed pipe 3, allowing the feed pipe 3 to rotate smoothly within the tower body 1.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 8 is provided with a support frame 801, which is connected to the feed pipe 2. The support frame 801 provides additional fixation and support for the feed pipe 2, preventing unnecessary swaying of the feed pipe 2 and indirectly reducing the pressure on the rotary joint 11.

[0032] Based on the above solutions, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a connecting hose 5, one end of which passes through the inside of the feed pipe 3 and the other end of which passes through the inside of the discharge pipe 4. The end of the feed pipe 3 is provided with a mounting bracket 6, and the mounting bracket 6 is fixedly provided with a mounting sleeve 601. The discharge pipe 4 is provided with two mounting blocks 7, and a mounting rod 701 is provided between the two mounting blocks 7. The mounting rod 701 passes through the mounting sleeve 601.

[0033] The feed pipe 3 and the discharge pipe 4 can be connected by a connecting hose 5, so that the mother liquor enters the discharge pipe 4 through the feed pipe 3 and the connecting hose 5. The discharge pipe 4 can slide on the mounting rod 701 on the discharge pipe 4 through the mounting bracket 6 and the mounting sleeve 601, thereby changing the position of the discharge pipe 4 on the feed pipe 3. When the feed pipe 3 rotates, the circumferential area generated by the rotation of the discharge pipe 4 can be changed by changing the position of the discharge pipe 4. This allows the feeding structure to be installed in tower bodies 1 of different sizes, improving its applicability.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting sleeve 601 is provided with a threaded sleeve 602, and the threaded sleeve 602 is threadedly connected to a clamping bolt 603. The end of the clamping bolt 603 abuts against the mounting rod 701. In order to ensure the stability of the discharge pipe 4 after adjustment, when the mounting rod 701 on the discharge pipe 4 is pushed to move within the mounting sleeve 601 on the mounting frame 6, the clamping bolt 603 can be rotated so that the end of the clamping bolt 603 abuts against the corresponding position of the mounting rod 701, thereby stopping the mounting rod 701 and thus limiting the discharge pipe 4, ensuring that the discharge pipe 4 will not move due to rotation.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
