Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial pipeline anti-clogging technology, and in particular to a device for preventing clogging of pipelines in galvanizing reaction tanks. Background Technology
[0002] To improve tire quality and lifespan, the production process of tire bead wires requires enhancing their corrosion resistance and adhesion to rubber. This necessitates a galvanizing process on the wire surface. This is achieved by electrolyzing a zinc sulfate solution in an alloy bath. The zinc sulfate solution is replenished through another reaction tank, where zinc is slowly dissolved by a sulfuric acid solution. The pH of the solution must be maintained at a suitable level. A pump circulates the sulfuric acid solution generated during electrolysis in the alloy bath and throughout the reaction tank.
[0003] In existing galvanizing reaction tank equipment, in order to obtain sufficient zinc sulfate solution for use in the alloy liquid tank, a large amount of zinc plates are usually poured directly into the reaction tank. The zinc sulfate solution is prone to splashing out, which can damage the health of the operators. At the same time, as zinc plates are continuously added and piled up in the reaction tank, the operators cannot check the reaction status of the bottom zinc plates in time. Furthermore, the impurities and zinc sulfate deposits produced by the reaction can easily clog the sulfuric acid inlet. Cleaning the deposits after emptying the zinc plates is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a device for preventing blockage of the pipeline in a galvanizing reaction tank. By using a lifting mechanism, a basket containing zinc plates is placed between the partitions inside the tank. The zinc sulfate solution generated by the reaction and the sulfuric acid solution generated by electrolysis are exchanged between the tank and the alloy liquid tank through the outlet and inlet. This allows the operator to observe the reaction of the zinc plates in the tank and adjust the reaction rate by adjusting the number of zinc plates to optimize the solution ratio. At the same time, the sediments generated by the reaction accumulate on the basket, which is easy for the operator to clean and does not easily block the sulfuric acid inlet.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A device for preventing blockage of pipelines in a galvanizing reaction tank includes a tank body, a cover plate, an inlet, and an outlet. The cover plate is movably connected to the top surface of the tank body. The outlet is connected to the middle of one side of the tank body. The inlet is connected to the bottom of one side of the tank body next to the side where the outlet is located. An vent is connected to the bottom of the side of the tank body opposite the inlet. The outlet and inlet are connected to an alloy liquid tank via pipes and a pump. A high-level overflow port is connected to the top of the side of the tank body where the vent is located. The vent and the high-level overflow port are connected to a waste liquid pipe. A ball valve is connected to the pipes connecting the inlet and the vent near the outer wall of the tank body. A hanging basket is movably connected at equal intervals to the inner side of the tank body. Zinc plates are vertically arranged inside the hanging basket.
[0007] Furthermore, the outlet is connected to a stainless steel perforated mesh and a small hopper. The top surface of the small hopper is at the same horizontal level as the top of the tank. A through hole is connected to one side of the small hopper, and the pipe connected to the outlet is connected to the hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the high-level overflow port is connected to a pipe, and the other end of the pipe is connected to the top of the pipe connected to the vent port. All pipes connected to the device are made of PP material.
[0009] Furthermore, the suspended platform is made of stainless steel and includes a frame, a base plate, and lifting lugs. There are three base plates, which are horizontally and parallel to each other and are equidistantly connected to the inside of the frame in the vertical direction. The lifting lugs are connected to the four corners or long sides of the top surface of the frame.
[0010] Furthermore, the base plate has vertically connected holes that are evenly spaced and connected at equal intervals. The vertical spacing of the base plate is three centimeters greater than the width of the zinc plate. A vertical baffle is connected to the edge of the top surface of the base plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the zinc plates are arranged closely on the top surface of the base plate with their longest and shortest sides parallel to the short and long sides of the bottom surface of the basket, respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, the height and bottom length of the suspended platform are three to five centimeters less than the height and bottom width of the inner side of the tank.
[0013] Furthermore, the tank has vertical partitions that are equidistantly connected on two inner sides with larger areas. The partitions are made of PP material, and the spacing between the partitions connected on the same inner side is three to five centimeters greater than the width of the bottom of the basket.
[0014] Furthermore, the larger side of the suspended basket is parallel to the smaller inner side of the tank, and the smaller side of the suspended basket is placed between two adjacent partitions on the same side of the tank.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following obvious advantages:
[0016] I. This utility model has an outlet and an inlet connected to the middle and bottom of two adjacent sides of the tank, respectively. Both the outlet and the inlet are connected to the alloy liquid tank through PP pipes and a pump body. The zinc sulfate solution generated in the reaction tank is drawn from the outlet and transferred to the alloy liquid tank. The sulfuric acid solution generated by electrolysis in the alloy liquid tank is drawn from the outlet and transferred to the reaction tank through the inlet, so as to realize the circulation and use of zinc sulfate solution and sulfuric acid solution between the reaction tank and the alloy liquid tank.
[0017] II. In this utility model, an air drain port and a high-level overflow port are respectively connected to the bottom and top of the side of the tank opposite to the liquid inlet. The air drain port is connected to a pipe, and a ball valve is connected to the pipe connected to the air drain port near the side of the tank. The high-level overflow port is connected to the top surface of the pipe connected to the air drain port through a pipe. When the liquid level in the tank reaches the height of the high-level overflow port, the excess liquid flows through the high-level overflow port into the pipe connected to the air drain port and is discharged to prevent the solution from overflowing. When it is necessary to empty the solution in the tank, the solution in the tank can be completely discharged by operating the ball valve.
[0018] Third, in this utility model, the zinc plates used for the reaction are arranged and placed in a stainless steel basket. The lifting mechanism suspends the basket containing the zinc plates between the partitions on the inside of the tank, which makes it easy for the operator to observe the reaction of the zinc plates in the tank. The operator can lift the basket at any time to add or remove zinc plates in the basket, and then lower the basket back into the tank. The reaction rate of the zinc plates in the tank can be controlled by changing the specific gravity of the solution and the zinc blocks.
[0019] Fourth, because this utility model uses a basket to support the zinc plate and place it in the tank, the process of adding the zinc plate is smoother than that of manual addition by the operator, reducing manual operation and making it less likely for the solution in the tank to splash out and cause harm to the operator's health. The sediment generated by the reaction accumulates on the basket, and the operator can directly lift the basket out for cleaning to prevent the sediment from clogging the sulfuric acid inlet.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a device for preventing pipe blockage in a galvanizing reaction tank, including a tank body 1, a cover plate 2, an outlet 3, an inlet 4, an vent 5, a ball valve 6, a high-level overflow port 7, and a suspended basket 9. In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 is movably connected to the top surface of the tank body 1, the outlet 3 is connected to the middle of one side of the tank body 1, the outlet 3 is connected to a stainless steel perforated mesh and a small hopper, the top surface of the small hopper is at the same horizontal level as the top of the tank body 1, a through hole is connected to one side of the small hopper, the pipe connected to the outlet 3 is connected to the hole in the small hopper, and the inlet 4 is connected to the outlet. At the bottom of one side of the tank 1 next to the side where 3 is located, the drain port 5 is connected to the bottom of the side of the tank 1 opposite to the liquid inlet 4. The high-level overflow port 7 is connected to the top of the side of the tank 1 where the drain port 5 is located. The liquid outlet 3 and the liquid inlet 4 are connected to the alloy liquid tank through pipes and pumps. The other end of the pipe connected to the high-level overflow port 7 is connected to the top of the pipe connected to the drain port 5. The pipe connected to the drain port 5 is connected to the waste liquid pipe. The ball valve 6 is connected to the pipes connected to the liquid inlet 4 and the drain port 5 near the outer wall of the tank 1. All pipes connected to the device are made of PP material.
[0028] The suspended platform 9 is made of 316L stainless steel. It includes a frame 901, a base plate 902, and lifting lugs 903. There are three base plates 902, which are horizontally and parallel to each other, and are equidistantly connected vertically to the inner side of the frame 901. The base plates 902 have evenly spaced, vertically continuous holes, with the vertical spacing between the base plates 902 being three centimeters greater than the width of the zinc plate 10. Vertical baffles are connected to the top edge of the base plates 902. The lifting lugs 903 are connected to the four corners or the long side of the top surface of the frame 901. The height and bottom length of the suspended platform 9 are respectively less than the height and bottom width of the inner side of the tank 1. Three to five centimeters apart, vertical partitions 8 are equidistantly connected on the two inner sides of the tank 1 with larger areas. The partitions 8 are made of PP material. The distance between adjacent partitions 8 connected on the same inner side is three to five centimeters greater than the width of the bottom surface of the hanging basket 9. The zinc plates 10 are arranged closely on the top surface of the base plate 902 with the longest and shortest sides parallel to the short and long sides of the bottom surface of the hanging basket 9, respectively. When the hanging basket 9 is placed inside the tank 1, the side with the larger area of the hanging basket 9 is parallel to the inner side with the smaller area of the tank 1, and the side with the smaller area of the hanging basket 9 is placed between two adjacent partitions 8 on the same side of the tank 1.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0030] In use, the ball valve 6 is initially closed. The operator opens the cover plate 2 connected to the top of the tank 1 and pours one-third of the volume of sulfuric acid solution into the tank 1. Based on the pH value of the zinc sulfate solution required for the alloy liquid tank and the amount and concentration of the sulfuric acid solution in the tank 1, the operator arranges the corresponding amount of zinc plates 10 on the three-layer bottom plate 902 of the basket 9. After placing the zinc plates 10, the operator inserts the hook of the lifting mechanism into the hole of the lifting lug 903 of the basket 9, lifts the basket 9 by the lifting mechanism and lowers it between the partition plates 8 connected to the inside of the tank 1. After the basket 9 is lowered into the tank 1, the operator removes the hook of the lifting mechanism from the lifting lug 903. Following the above operation, the baskets 9 containing zinc plates 10 are arranged in sequence in the tank 1. The zinc plates 10 placed in the basket 9 react with the sulfuric acid solution in the tank 1 to generate zinc sulfate solution. The operator observes the reaction in the tank 1 and monitors the pH value of the solution in the tank.
[0031] During the zinc sulfate solution reaction, if the zinc plate 10 placed in the basket 9 is consumed or the pH value of the solution in the tank 1 remains low, the operator will insert the hook of the lifting mechanism into the hole of the lifting lug 903 of the basket 9, lift the basket 9 using the lifting mechanism, add zinc plate 10 into the basket 9, and then put the basket 9 back into the tank 1. If the pH value of the solution in the tank 1 rises too quickly to a level higher than the required pH value during the reaction, the operator will insert the hook of the lifting mechanism into the basket 9. The lifting basket 9 is lifted by a crane mechanism through the hole of the lifting lug 903, and a portion of the zinc plate 10 inside the basket 9 is removed before the basket 9 is put back into the tank 1. The impurities in the zinc block 10 and the zinc sulfate crystals generated by the reaction are deposited on the bottom plate 8 of the basket 9 after the zinc block 10 is consumed by the reaction. The operator puts the hook of the crane mechanism into the hole of the lifting lug 903 of the basket 9 that needs to be cleaned, lifts the basket 9 by the crane mechanism, and cleans the deposits to avoid clogging the liquid inlet 4.
[0032] When the solution in tank 1 reaches the pH value required for galvanizing the steel wire in the alloy bath, the operator opens the ball valve 6 connected to the pipe connected to inlet 4 and the pump connected to the pipes connected to outlet 3 and inlet 4. The zinc sulfate solution produced by the reaction in tank 1 enters the small hopper after being filtered through the perforated mesh connected to outlet 3. After secondary sedimentation of impurities in the small hopper, the zinc sulfate solution is filtered and pumped into the alloy bath. The zinc sulfate solution is electrolyzed in the alloy bath, and the sulfuric acid solution generated by electrolysis is pumped into inlet 4 and enters tank 1, realizing the recycling of sulfuric acid. When the liquid level in tank 1 is higher than the bottom height of the high-level overflow port 7, the excess solution flows into the pipe connected to drain port 5 through the pipe connected to high-level overflow port 7 and is discharged. The zinc generated by electrolysis is plated on the surface of the moving steel wire in the alloy bath, completing the galvanizing operation of the tire bead steel wire.
[0033] After the galvanizing of the tire bead wire is completed, the operator uses a crane to lift all the baskets 9 out in sequence, and then closes the pumps connected to the pipes connecting the liquid outlet 3 and the liquid inlet 4, as well as the ball valve 6 connected to the pipe connected to the liquid inlet 4. The operator then opens the ball valve 6 connected to the pipe connected to the drain port 5, and the solution in the tank 1 is discharged from the drain port 5.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent transformations or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
