Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon capture technology, specifically a modular carbon capture device. Background Technology
[0002] To achieve continuous carbon capture of carbon dioxide in flue gas, patent CN117883974B discloses a modular membrane-isolated carbon desorption device, carbon capture system, method, and application. It can reduce heat loss during carbon desorption and achieve double-sided dissolution of the positive electrode and double-sided deposition of the negative electrode, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency and carbon dioxide capture efficiency during carbon desorption. It can also significantly improve the uniformity of electrodeposition during carbon desorption. In addition, by adopting a modular arrangement, it can reduce the footprint of the carbon desorption device.
[0003] Although the above solution reduces the footprint of the carbon desorption device by setting up several electrolytic cells in a modular arrangement within a single pool, in actual use, since all electrolytic cells share the same pool body, they are actually interconnected. This means that if any part of the pool body is damaged, all electrolytic cells will malfunction. Furthermore, it is not convenient to adjust the carbon desorption efficiency by using different numbers of electrolytic cells. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the present invention, a modular carbon capture device includes a base and several electrolytic cell modules 3. The several electrolytic cell modules 3 are sequentially positioned and installed on the top of the base along its length. Two pads 4 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom of each electrolytic cell module 3. A locking groove 7 is provided in the middle of the outer side wall of each pad 4. A locking mechanism is provided on the top of the base corresponding to each locking groove 7. The locking mechanism is adapted to the locking groove 7. Positioning holes 5 are provided on both sides of the bottom of each pad 4 located at the locking groove 7. A positioning pin 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the base corresponding to each positioning hole 5. The size of the positioning pin 6 is adapted to the positioning hole 5.
[0024] By adopting the above-described solution, this utility model enables multiple electrolytic cell modules 3 to be positioned and installed on the base, allowing each electrolytic cell module 3 to operate independently. Therefore, the efficiency of carbonization can be adjusted by activating different numbers of electrolytic cell modules 3. Furthermore, when any electrolytic cell module 3 is damaged, the other electrolytic cell modules 3 can still operate normally. In addition, when it is necessary to replace a damaged electrolytic cell module 3, the locking mechanism can be used to unlock the locking slot 7, allowing the electrolytic cell module 3 to be lifted away. Moreover, the cooperation of the positioning pin 6 and the positioning hole 5 facilitates the positioning and installation of new electrolytic cell modules 3, making it more convenient to use.
[0025] Specific combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, the base includes two parallel support strips 1, with a plurality of crossbars 2 arranged between the two support strips 1, and the two ends of the crossbars 2 fixedly connected to the corresponding support strips 1. A pad 4 is located directly above the corresponding support strip 1, and a positioning pin 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the corresponding support strip 1. An installation groove 8 is provided at the top of each support strip 1 corresponding to each locking groove 7. The locking mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 10 rotatably installed in the installation groove 8, and a locking block 12 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the top of the L-shaped plate 10. When the fixed block 12 is adapted to the locking groove 7 and the locking groove 7 is located inside the locking block 12, the bottom surface of the pad 4 is in contact with the L-shaped plate 10. The top of the L-shaped plate 10 is provided with a slot 13. The locking mechanism also includes a limiting mechanism installed on the top of the support strip 1 on one side of the mounting groove 8. The limiting mechanism is adapted to the slot 13. The inner wall of the mounting groove 8 is fixedly installed with a first pin 9. The L-shaped plate 10 is rotatably sleeved on the first pin 9. The outer wall of the first pin 9 is sleeved with a first torsion spring 11. The first torsion spring 11 acts between the mounting groove 8 and the L-shaped plate 10.
[0026] With the setting of the first torsion spring 11, when the electrolytic cell module 3 is not installed above the mounting slot 8, the L-shaped plate 10 will extend its bottom end to the mounting slot 8 under the action of the first torsion spring 11. When the electrolytic cell module 3 is installed, the bottom of the pad 4 will contact the end of the L-shaped plate 10 during the descent process and push the L-shaped plate 10 to rotate around the first pin 9. When the bottom of the pad 4 is in contact with the top of the support strip 1, the locking block 12 will just be inserted into the locking slot 7. Then the positioning structure will be inserted into the slot 13 to lock the L-shaped plate 10, thus locking the electrolytic cell module 3 on the base. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0027] Specific combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 Based on the previous embodiment, the limiting mechanism further includes a U-shaped seat 14 fixedly installed on the top of the support bar 1. A second pin 15 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the U-shaped seat 14. A pedal 16 and a second torsion spring 17 are rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the second pin 15. One end of the pedal 16 facing the electrolytic cell module 3 is located in the corresponding slot 13. The second torsion spring 17 acts between the pedal 16 and the U-shaped seat 14.
[0028] By engaging the end of the pedal 16 with the slot 13, the L-shaped plate 10 is prevented from rotating within the mounting slot 8, thus locking the L-shaped plate 10 and ensuring the stability of the engagement between the locking block 12 and the locking slot 7. Furthermore, the second torsion spring 17 further ensures the stability of the engagement between the end of the pedal 16 and the slot 13. When the electrolytic cell module 3 needs to be lifted from the base, simply remove the two pedals 16 corresponding to the electrolytic cell module 3 so that the ends of the pedals 16 disengage from the slot 13. Then, lift the electrolytic cell module 3 upwards. The L-shaped plate 10 will gradually rotate and reset under the action of the first torsion spring 11 as the pad 4 moves upwards, thereby disengaging the locking block 12 from the locking slot 7 and allowing the electrolytic cell module 3 to be lifted away smoothly. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0029] Specific combination Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the bottom opening of the positioning hole 5 is an outwardly expanding cone shape, and the top of the positioning pin 6 is a hemispherical shape. Through the cooperation between the cone-shaped opening at the bottom of the positioning hole 5 and the hemispherical top of the positioning pin 6, it is convenient to align the positioning pin 6 and insert it into the positioning hole 5, thereby facilitating the positioning and installation of the electrolytic cell module 3 on the base.
[0030] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
