Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrolyte concentration adjustment technology, and more specifically, relates to a device for real-time adjustment of the concentration of electrolytic copper electrolyte. Background Technology
[0002] In the electrolytic copper refining process, 99% copper-content crude copper is processed into thick plates to serve as the anode, while pure copper is made into thin sheets to act as the cathode. A mixture of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate is used as the electrolyte. When electricity is applied, the copper elements in the crude copper at the anode dissolve into copper ions, which move towards the cathode and gain electrons, thus depositing electrolytic copper. As the usage time increases, the electrolyte concentration usually decreases, requiring a real-time adjustment device to regulate the electrolyte concentration.
[0003] According to application number CN201620680462.7, an electrolytic cell with automatic feeding and concentration control includes an electrolyte container, an electrolyte feeding and delivery pipe, a feeding control valve, and an electrolyte concentration monitor. The electrolyte feeding and delivery pipe is disposed above the electrolyte container, and the feeding control valve is installed on the electrolyte feeding and delivery pipe. The electrolyte concentration monitor and the feeding control valve are connected in series and then connected to a solenoid valve power supply. The electrolyte concentration monitor includes a buoyancy sensing rod and a fixed mounting sleeve. The buoyancy sensing rod is disposed in the fixed mounting sleeve, and the fixed mounting sleeve is provided with positive and negative power supply contacts. The buoyancy sensing rod is provided with a power-conducting slider for cooperating with the positive and negative power supply contacts. This utility model can automatically control the total substance concentration in the electrolytic cell.
[0004] Based on the above, the existing real-time concentration adjustment devices for electrolytic copper electrolyte are generally installed directly inside the electrolytic cell using bolts. When the real-time concentration adjustment device needs to be repaired or replaced, it usually needs to be disassembled. Since the adjustment device is fixed by bolts, the installation and disassembly process is cumbersome and affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

This addresses the issue that existing real-time adjustment devices for the concentration of electrolytic copper electrolyte are typically installed directly inside the electrolytic cell using bolts. When the device needs maintenance or replacement, it usually requires disassembly. Since the device is fixed with bolts, the installation and disassembly process is cumbersome, affecting production efficiency.
[0006] The purpose and effectiveness of this utility model's device for real-time adjustment of electrolytic copper electrolyte concentration are achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0007] A device for real-time adjustment of the concentration of electrolytic copper electrolyte includes an electrolytic cell, a feeding chamber, a feeding pipe, a baffle plate, a cleaning box, an adjustment and installation mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the adjustment and installation mechanism also includes: a metal contact block, a first positive electrode wire, a second positive electrode wire, a buoyancy rod, a connecting contact block, a feeding valve, and a negative electrode wire; two metal contact blocks are provided, both of which are fixedly connected to the outside of the adjustment plate; one end of the first positive electrode wire is fixedly connected to the metal contact block; one end of the second positive electrode wire is fixedly connected to the metal contact block, and the other end of the second positive electrode wire is fixedly connected to the power supply; the buoyancy rod is slidably connected to the inside of the adjustment plate; the connecting contact block is fixedly connected to the outside of the upper end of the buoyancy rod; the feeding valve is fixedly installed on the outside of the conveying pipe, and the feeding valve is fixedly connected to the first positive electrode wire; one end of the negative electrode wire is fixedly connected to the feeding valve, and the other end of the negative electrode wire is fixedly connected to the power supply.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention achieves electrolyte detection, replenishment, and convenient disassembly through adjusting the installation mechanism. Rotating the installation operating component causes the sliding clamp to slide under the action of its threaded connection with the installation threaded shaft, thereby adjusting the distance between the installation frame and the sliding clamp. After adjustment, the adjustment installation frame is placed outside the electrolytic cell, and the installation operating component is tightened to complete the installation of the adjustment installation frame. Rotating the adjustment operating component causes the adjustment plate to slide under the action of its threaded connection with the adjustment threaded shaft, thus adjusting the detection position. When the electrolyte level or concentration in the electrolytic cell drops, the buoyancy of the buoyancy rod decreases, causing it to slide downwards, driving the connecting contact block to slide together until the connecting contact block contacts the metal contact block. At this point, the two... The interconnected metal contacts activate the feeding valve, allowing materials to be added to the electrolytic cell. The assembly and disassembly process is simple, improving work efficiency and reducing labor intensity. The cleaning mechanism enables the cleaning of components such as the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is removed from the electrolytic cell and installed outside the push-button switch. The sliding clamp triggers the push-button switch, activating the cleaning pump. At this time, the cleaning nozzle sprays water to clean the mounting bracket, ensuring its cleanliness and extending its service life. This mechanism not only enables the detection and replenishment of electrolyte and the convenient disassembly of components, improving work efficiency and reducing labor intensity, but also facilitates the cleaning of components such as the mounting bracket, extending the overall service life of the equipment.
