[0044] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0045] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 This invention describes a cleaning apparatus 100 for cleaning an anode plate 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning device 100 for cleaning an anode plate 200 is provided, such as... Figures 1-8 As shown, the cleaning apparatus 100 for cleaning the anode plate 200 may include: a cleaning mechanism 10, the cleaning mechanism 10 including a cleaning tank 11, a transport structure 12 and a cleaning structure 13, the cleaning tank 11 defining a cleaning space 111, the cleaning space 111 having a space inlet 1111 and a space outlet 1112 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart, at least a portion of the transport structure 12 being disposed within the cleaning space 111, the transport structure 12 being used to transport the anode plate 200 parallel to the vertical direction from the space inlet 1111 through the cleaning space 111 toward the space outlet 1112, and the cleaning structure 13 being vertically and vertically movable within the cleaning space 111, the cleaning structure 13 being used to clean the anode plate 200 within the cleaning space 111.

[0047] It should be noted that in the copper electrolysis process, after the anode plate is cast, some barium sulfate powder adheres to its surface. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to air causes an oxide film to form on the anode plate's surface, affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of electrolysis. To improve the quality of subsequent copper electrolysis, the anode plate needs to be cleaned. Current technologies typically use cleaning devices with fixed cleaning pipes to clean the anode plate; however, multiple cleaning pipes are required to achieve a sufficient spraying effect. These cleaning devices are complex in structure, consume large amounts of water, and waste water resources.

[0048] Based on this, this application provides a cleaning device 100 for cleaning an anode plate 200. The cleaning mechanism 10 can be used to clean the anode plate 200. The cleaning mechanism 10 may include a cleaning tank 11, a transport structure 12, and a cleaning structure 13. The cleaning tank 11 can be a cuboid structure and can define a cleaning space 111. The anode plate 200 can be cleaned within the cleaning space 111. The cleaning space 111 has a space inlet 1111 and a space outlet 1112 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart. The space inlet 1111 and the space outlet 1112 can be located at opposite ends of the cleaning space 111 along its length. The space inlet 1111 and the space outlet 1112 communicate with the cleaning space 111. When the cleaning device 100... Figure 1 When setting the direction, the length direction of the cleaning space 111 is... Figure 1 The X-direction in the middle.

[0049] The transport structure 12 can be a chain conveyor belt, etc., and can be used to transport the anode plate 200. The anode plate 200 disposed on the transport structure 12 can be placed parallel to the vertical direction, and can be suspended on the transport structure 12. When the cleaning device 100... Figure 1 When setting the direction, the vertical direction is... Figure 1 In the Z-direction, the height direction of the cleaning device 100 is parallel to the vertical direction. At least a portion of the transport structure 12 is disposed within the cleaning space 111. The transport structure 12 can move within the cleaning space 111 along the length direction of the cleaning box 11 (i.e., the length direction of the cleaning space 111). At least a portion of the transport structure 12 enters the cleaning space 111 from the space inlet 1111 and exits the cleaning space 111 from the space outlet 1112. The transport structure 12 can transport the anode plate 200 from the space inlet 1111 through the cleaning space 111 towards the space outlet 1112, allowing the anode plate 200 to enter the cleaning space 111 from the space inlet 1111 and exit the cleaning space 111 from the space outlet 1112 after being cleaned within the cleaning space 111.

[0050] The cleaning structure 13 is vertically and vertically movable within the cleaning space 111. A portion of the cleaning structure 13 may be located within the cleaning space 111, or all of the cleaning structure 13 may be located within the cleaning space 111. This embodiment uses the example of a portion of the cleaning structure 13 being located within the cleaning space 111 for illustration. With a portion of the cleaning structure 13 located within the cleaning space 111, the cleaning structure 13 can reciprocate vertically and can pass through the top wall of the cleaning tank 11. When the cleaning structure 13 is used to clean the anode plate 200, its vertical reciprocating movement increases the cleaning area of ​​the anode plate 200, improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness. It also reduces the number of cleaning pipes 131 within the cleaning structure 13, simplifying the structure of the cleaning device 100, reducing costs, and helping to reduce water consumption and conserve resources.

[0051] As an example, there can be multiple anode plates 200, and the transport structure 12 can transport multiple anode plates 200 simultaneously. The multiple anode plates 200 can be arranged sequentially along the length of the cleaning tank 11, with the same spacing between any two adjacent anode plates 200. The transport structure 12 can move the multiple anode plates 200 from the space inlet 1111 towards the space outlet 1112. The anode plates 200 can enter the cleaning space 111 from the space inlet 1111, be cleaned within the cleaning space 111, and then leave the cleaning space 111 from the space outlet 1112. When the anode plates 200 are located within the cleaning space 111, the cleaning structure 13 can be used to clean the anode plates 200 within the cleaning space 111. When the cleaning structure 13 is cleaning the anode plates 200, the transport structure 12 pauses its movement, allowing the anode plates 200 to remain stationary within the cleaning space 111. Figure 6 As shown, at least one anode plate 200 can be arranged adjacent to the cleaning structure 13. The cleaning structure 13 can spray cleaning liquid onto the side of the adjacent anode plate 200. After the side of the anode plate 200 adjacent to the cleaning structure 13 is cleaned, the transport structure 12 continues to move, thereby achieving the effect of the cleaning structure 13 rinsing the corresponding anode plate 200.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the transport structure 12 may include: a drive unit 121, a transmission chain 122, a drive sprocket 123, and a driven sprocket 124. At least a portion of the transmission chain 122 is disposed within the cleaning space 111 and arranged along the space inlet 1111 and space outlet 1112. The drive sprocket 123 and the driven sprocket 124 are rotatably disposed in the cleaning tank 11. The transmission chain 122 is sleeved on the drive sprocket 123 and the driven sprocket 124 so that the drive sprocket 123 and multiple driven sprockets 124 simultaneously support the transmission chain 122. The transmission chain 122 is used for assembly with the anode plate 200. The drive unit 121 is connected to the drive sprocket 123 for transmission. The drive unit 121 drives the drive sprocket 123 to rotate so that the transmission chain 122 moves to transport the anode plate 200.

[0053] The transport structure 12 can be a chain drive, and a chain-driven transport structure 12 can operate in environments with high temperature and humidity. At least a portion of the drive chain 122 is located within the cleaning space 111. The drive chain 122 within the cleaning space 111 is arranged along the direction of the space inlet 1111 and the space outlet 1112 (i.e., the length direction of the cleaning space 111), meaning that the extension direction of the drive chain 122 within the cleaning space 111 is parallel to the length direction of the cleaning space 111. The drive sprocket 123 is rotatably mounted on the cleaning tank 11 and can rotate relative to the cleaning tank 11. The driven sprocket 124 is rotatably mounted on the cleaning tank 11 and can rotate relative to the cleaning tank 11. The transmission chain 122 can be fitted onto the driving sprocket 123 and the driven sprocket 124. Both the driving sprocket 123 and the driven sprocket 124 can support the transmission chain 122. There can be multiple driven sprockets 124. The driving sprocket 123 can cooperate with multiple driven sprockets 124 to achieve the effect of the driving sprocket 123 and multiple driven sprockets 124 simultaneously supporting the transmission chain 122.

[0054] As an example, the transport structure 12 may include two drive chains 122, which may be arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the width direction of the cleaning space 111. The anode plate 200 may be disposed between the two drive chains 122. Along the extension direction of the drive chains 122, each drive chain 122 has a plurality of driven sprockets 124 that are correspondingly fitted together. The plurality of driven sprockets 124 can be used to support different positions of the corresponding drive chains 122. Each drive chain 122 may also be fitted together with a drive sprocket 123, so that each drive chain 122 can move along the length direction of the cleaning space 111.

[0055] The drive unit 121 can be connected to the drive sprocket 123 for transmission. The drive unit 121 can drive the drive sprocket 123 to rotate, and the drive sprocket 123 can drive the transmission chain 122 to move. At the same time, multiple driven sprockets 124 can rotate synchronously with the drive chain under the drive of the transmission chain 122, so that the transmission chain 122 can move stably. The transmission chain 122 can be assembled with the anode plate 200. When the drive unit 121 drives the drive sprocket 123 to rotate, the drive sprocket 123 can drive the transmission chain 122 to move, so that the transmission chain 122 can drive the anode plate 200 to move. This allows the anode plate 200 to move within the cleaning space 111 to a position adjacent to the cleaning structure 13, and the cleaning structure 13 cleans the anode plate 200.

[0056] As an example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the anode plate 200 may include an anode plate body 220 and a lifting lug 210. There may be two lifting lugs 210. When the anode plate 200 is placed parallel to the vertical direction, that is, when the height direction of the anode plate 200 is parallel to the vertical direction, the lifting lug 210 may be located at the upper end of the anode plate 200 along the height direction of the anode plate 200. The two lifting lugs 210 may be provided on both sides of the anode plate 200 along the width direction of the anode plate 200. When the anode plate 200 and the drive chain 122 are assembled, the width direction of the anode plate 200 can be parallel to the width direction of the cleaning space 111. The two lifting lugs 210 of the anode plate 200 can be respectively mounted above the two drive chains 122. Each lifting lug 210 of the anode plate 200 has a corresponding drive chain 122. The two drive chains 122 are spaced apart, and the anode plate body 220 can be positioned between the two drive chains 122, allowing the anode plate 200 to be suspended on the transport structure 12. The anode plate 200 can be placed parallel to the vertical direction. When the cleaning device 100... Figure 1 When setting the direction, the width direction of the cleaning space 111 is... Figure 1 The Y-direction in the middle.

[0057] The drive chain 122 can support the anode plate 200. Two drive chains 122 can be located on both sides of the anode plate body 220 along the width direction of the anode plate 200. The two drive chains 122 can be assembled with the two lifting lugs 210 of the anode plate 200 in a one-to-one correspondence. The two drive chains 122 can jointly support the two lifting lugs 210 of the anode plate 200, so that the transport structure 12 can transport the anode plate 200. Multiple anode plates 200 can be assembled with the corresponding lifting lugs 210 and drive chains 122. The transport structure 12 can transport multiple anode plates 200.

[0058] As an example, the cleaning tank 11 may be equipped with a driven sprocket bracket 1241, which supports the driven sprocket 124, allowing the driven sprocket 124 to be rotatably mounted on the cleaning tank 11. The driven sprocket bracket 1241 can be fixed to the cleaning tank 11 by welding, bolting, or other methods. The driven sprocket bracket 1241 may include a first plate 12411 and a second plate 12412, which can be welded together or integrally formed. The first plate 12411 and the second plate 12412 may form an angle, which can be a right angle or a similar right angle. The first plate 12411 can be used to connect to the cleaning tank 11, and the second plate 12412 can be used to support the driven sprocket 124. There can be multiple driven sprockets 124 and multiple driven sprocket supports 1241. Multiple driven sprockets 124 can be set one-to-one with multiple driven sprocket supports 1241. Each driven sprocket 124 can have a corresponding driven sprocket support 1241, so that each driven sprocket 124 can be rotatably set in the cleaning tank 11.

[0059] As an example, the driven sprocket 124 can be rotatably mounted on the driven sprocket bracket 1241 via a first bearing, allowing the driven sprocket 124 to rotate relative to the cleaning tank 11. The driven sprocket 124 may have a driven shaft extending axially along the driven sprocket 124, and the driven shaft may be integrally formed with the driven sprocket 124. The driven shaft may pass through the inner ring of the first bearing, and the driven shaft may be interference-fitted with the inner ring of the first bearing. The outer ring of the first bearing may be fixedly connected to the second plate 12412, and the inner ring of the first bearing may rotate relative to the outer ring, thereby allowing the driven shaft to rotate relative to the cleaning tank 11, and thus allowing the driven sprocket 124 to rotate relative to the cleaning tank 11, achieving the effect of the driven sprocket 124 being rotatably mounted on the cleaning tank 11.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning tank 11 has a rotatable drive shaft 14, a drive sprocket 123 is fixed to the drive shaft 14, and the drive unit 121 is connected to the drive sprocket 123 through the drive shaft 14. The drive unit 121 drives the drive shaft 14 to rotate, thereby driving the drive sprocket 123 to rotate.

[0061] The cleaning tank 11 has a drive shaft 14 that rotates relative to the cleaning tank 11. The drive shaft 14 can pass through a drive sprocket 123 and can be interference-fitted with the drive sprocket 123, thereby fixing the drive shaft 14 and the drive sprocket 123 together. The drive unit 121 can drive the drive shaft 14 to rotate, and the drive shaft 14 can drive the drive sprocket 123 to rotate synchronously, thereby making the drive unit 121 and the drive sprocket 123 connected by transmission. The drive unit 121 can drive the drive shaft 14 to rotate, thereby driving the drive sprocket 123 to rotate, thus achieving the effect of the drive sprocket 123 driving the transmission chain 122 to rotate, and the transport structure 12 transporting the anode plate 200. Each of the two drive chains 122 has a corresponding drive sprocket 123. The cleaning device 100 can have two drive sprockets 123, both of which can be fixedly connected to the drive shaft 14. Both drive sprockets 123 can be sleeved on the drive shaft 14, and the two drive sprockets 123 can be connected via the drive shaft 14. When the drive shaft 14 rotates, it can drive the two drive sprockets 123 to rotate synchronously.

[0062] As an example, the drive unit 121 may include a drive motor. The cleaning tank 11 may have two opposing sidewalls along the width direction of the cleaning space 111. The drive motor may be mounted on one of the sidewalls of the cleaning tank 11 and can be connected to the sidewall of the cleaning tank 11 by welding, bolting, or other means. The drive motor has a motor shaft, which can be connected to the drive shaft 14 by a sleeve connection, coupling, or other means. When the drive motor is working, the motor shaft can drive the drive shaft 14 to rotate, and the drive shaft 14 can drive the two drive sprockets 123 to rotate synchronously, thereby achieving the effect of the drive unit 121 driving the drive sprockets 123 to rotate.

[0063] Two drive sprockets 123 can be respectively located at both ends near the drive shaft 14 along the width direction of the cleaning space 111. One drive sprocket 123 is located on the side of the drive shaft 14 closer to the drive motor, and the other drive sprocket 123 is located on the side of the drive shaft 14 away from the drive motor. The other drive sprocket 123 can be rotatably mounted on the cleaning tank 11 via the second bearing 1231. The drive shaft 14 can pass through the inner ring of the second bearing 1231, and the drive shaft 14 can abut against the inner wall of the inner ring of the second bearing 1231. The outer ring of the second bearing 1231 can be fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 11. The inner ring of the second bearing 1231 can rotate relative to the outer ring, thereby allowing the drive shaft 14 to rotate relative to the cleaning tank 11, thus achieving the effect of the other drive sprocket 123 rotating relative to the cleaning tank 11.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the transmission chain 122 has a plurality of limiting protrusions 1221, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the transmission chain 122. The limiting protrusions 1221 are used to abut against the anode plate 200 so that the transmission chain 122 transports the anode plate 200.

[0065] The transmission chain 122 has a limiting protrusion 1221, which can be located on the outer peripheral wall of the transmission chain 122 perpendicular to the height direction of the cleaning device 100. Multiple limiting protrusions 1221 can be arranged sequentially and at intervals along the length direction of the transmission chain 122, and can be positioned opposite each other along the length direction of the transmission chain 122. The limiting protrusion 1221 can be used to abut against the anode plate 200. When the anode plate 200 is placed on the transmission chain 122, the limiting protrusion 1221 can abut against the anode plate 200, thereby restricting the movement of the anode plate 200 relative to the transmission chain 122 along the length direction of the cleaning space 111. This reduces the probability of the anode plate 200 shifting along the transmission chain 122, allowing the transmission chain 122 to stably transport the anode plate 200, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the transport structure 12.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, along the length of the transmission chain 122, the spacing between any two adjacent limiting protrusions 1221 is the same.

[0067] Each limiting protrusion 1221 can be used to limit and abut against the anode plate 200, and each limiting protrusion 1221 can be used to restrict the movement of the anode plate 200 relative to the transmission chain 122. By setting the spacing between any two adjacent limiting protrusions 1221 along the length direction of the transmission chain 122 to be the same, the spacing between any two adjacent anode plates 200 among the multiple anode plates 200 located on the transmission chain 122 can be made the same. When the transport structure 12 is used to transport multiple anode plates 200, the movement distance of the anode plates 200 in the cleaning tank 11 can be controlled by controlling the movement distance of the transmission chain 122. The drive unit 121 can drive the transmission chain 122 to move the same distance each time, so that each anode plate 200 moves the same distance in the cleaning tank 11, and the relative position of each anode plate 200 and the cleaning structure 13 is the same. This can reduce the probability that the relative distance between the anode plates 200 and the cleaning structure 13 is different, thus affecting the cleaning effect. It can realize the automated control of the transmission chain 122, which is beneficial to improving the standardization and reliability of the cleaning device 100.

[0068] As an example, the distance that the transmission chain 122 moves each time can be the interval between two adjacent limiting protrusions 1221. The interval between two adjacent limiting protrusions 1221 can be recorded as the unit length. When the transmission chain 122 moves the unit length each time, the anode plate 200 located on the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space inlet 1111 can be moved to the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space outlet 1112, and the next unwashed anode plate 200 moves to the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space inlet 1111. This is beneficial to improving the automation and reliability of the cleaning device 100.

[0069] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning device 100 for cleaning the anode plate 200 may further include: a toggle mechanism 20, which cooperates with the feeding mechanism to move the anode plate 200 to the transport structure 12.

[0070] Along the length of the cleaning space 111, the cleaning device 100 has a space inlet 1111 on one side adjacent to the feeding mechanism, which can be used to transport the anode plate 200 to the cleaning device 100. The actuating mechanism 20 can be located on the side of the cleaning device 100 facing the feeding mechanism, and the actuating mechanism 20 can be located at the space inlet 1111. The actuating mechanism 20 can actuate the anode plate 200. The actuating mechanism 20 can cooperate with the feeding mechanism to move the anode plate 200 onto the transport structure 12, so that the anode plate 200 on the feeding mechanism can enter the cleaning space 111 and be cleaned.

[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the actuating mechanism 20 is located on the side of the space inlet 1111 away from the space outlet 1112.

[0072] The transport structure 12 is used to transport the anode plate 200 from the space inlet 1111 through the cleaning space 111 toward the space outlet 1112. The anode plate 200 enters the cleaning space 111 from the space inlet 1111. The actuating mechanism 20 is used to transfer the anode plate 200 from the feeding mechanism to the transport structure 12. The actuating mechanism 20 can be located on the side of the space inlet 1111 away from the space outlet 1112, so that the actuating mechanism 20 can cooperate with the feeding mechanism. When the feeding mechanism transports the anode plate 200 to the end of the feeding mechanism facing the cleaning device 100, the actuating mechanism 20 actuates the anode plate 200, causing the anode plate 200 to move to the transport structure 12, so that the anode plate 200 can complete the subsequent cleaning process.

[0073] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the actuating mechanism 20 may include: a dial 21, which is rotatably disposed in the cleaning tank 11. The dial 21 has at least one actuating part 211. The free end of the actuating part 211 forms a limiting notch 2111 that is fitted to the anode plate 200. The anode plate 200 is moved to the transport structure 12 by rotating the dial 21.

[0074] The actuating mechanism 20 can actuate the anode plate 200 via the dial wheel 21, which can rotate relative to the cleaning tank 11. As an example, a driven sprocket 124 is provided at the space inlet 1111. The dial wheel 21 can be assembled with the driven sprocket 124, thereby reducing the space occupied by the actuating mechanism 20 and the driven sprocket 124 and improving space utilization. The dial wheel 21 can be fitted onto the driven shaft of the driven sprocket 124, and the driven shaft can support the dial wheel 21, allowing the dial wheel 21 to rotate relative to the driven shaft. The dial wheel 21 can be assembled with a feeding mechanism, which can drive the dial wheel 21 to rotate. The rotational speed of the dial wheel 21 can be different from the rotational speed of the driven sprocket 124. The dial 21 has at least one actuating part 211, which can protrude radially from the dial 21. The radial dimension of the actuating part 211 can be larger than the radial dimension of the dial 21. The actuating part 211 has a free end, and a limiting notch 2111 can be formed at the free end of the actuating part 211. The limiting notch 2111 can be fitted with the anode plate 200. The lifting lug 210 of the anode plate 200 can be fitted with the limiting notch 2111, and the lifting lug 210 can abut against the inner wall of the limiting notch 2111 for limiting.

[0075] When the dial wheel 21 rotates from bottom to top, from the cleaning device 100 to the feeding mechanism, that is, the dial wheel 21 and the driven sprocket 124 rotate in the same direction, the limiting notch 2111 at the free end of the dial wheel 21 can be fitted with the anode plate 200 located on the end of the feeding mechanism facing the cleaning device 100. The dial wheel 21 continues to rotate to lift the anode plate 200, separating the anode plate 200 from the feeding mechanism. After the dial wheel 21 drives the anode plate 200 to move above the transmission chain 122, the dial wheel 21 continues to rotate so that the anode plate 200 can be placed on the transmission chain 122. The dial wheel 21 continues to rotate and separates the free end of the dial wheel 21 from the anode plate 200. The transmission chain 122 drives the anode plate 200 to move towards the space outlet 1112. The dial wheel 21 continues to rotate so that the next anode plate 200 is transported to the transport structure 12.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the cleaning device 100 for cleaning the anode plate 200 may further include: a lifting drive mechanism 30, which is located in the cleaning tank 11 and connected to the cleaning structure 13. The lifting drive mechanism 30 is used to drive the cleaning structure 13 to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0077] When the cleaning structure 13 cleans the anode plate 200, the cleaning structure 13 can reciprocate vertically. The lifting drive mechanism 30 can be fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning tank 11. The lifting drive mechanism 30 can include a lifting drive part 31 and a connecting rod 32. The lifting drive part 31 can be fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning tank 11. The lifting drive part 31 can be fixed to the cleaning tank 11 by welding, bolt connection, or other methods, thereby achieving the effect of fixed connection between the lifting drive mechanism 30 and the side wall of the cleaning tank 11. The connecting rod 32 can be used to connect to the cleaning structure 13. The connecting rod 32 can be connected to the cleaning structure 13 by bolt connection, welding, or other methods. The cleaning structure 13 can be located below the connecting rod 32. The lifting drive unit 31 can drive the connecting rod 32 to move up and down in the vertical direction. The connecting rod 32 drives the cleaning structure 13 to move together. The lifting drive mechanism 30 can drive the connecting rod 32 to move up and down to drive the cleaning structure 13 to move up and down in the vertical direction. This allows the cleaning structure 13 to move up and down when cleaning the anode plate 200 to increase the cleaning area of ​​the anode plate 200. When the cleaning structure 13 does not need to clean the anode plate 200, it can also raise the cleaning structure 13 to avoid the anode plate 200, so that the anode plate 200 can move along the length of the cleaning space 111.

[0078] As an example, the lifting drive unit 31 may include hydraulic cylinders, and there may be two hydraulic cylinders. The two hydraulic cylinders may be respectively located on both sides of the cleaning tank 11 along the width direction of the cleaning tank 11. Both hydraulic cylinders may be fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 11. A connecting rod 32 may be connected between the two hydraulic cylinders, and the connecting rod 32 may also be connected to the cleaning structure 13. The hydraulic cylinder may include a piston rod, and the connecting rod 32 may be connected between the two piston rods. The hydraulic cylinder may drive the piston rod to extend or retract. When the piston rod extends or retracts in the vertical direction, it may drive the connecting rod 32 to move in the vertical direction, thereby driving the cleaning structure 13 to rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0079] As another example, the lifting drive unit 31 may include two electrically operated telescopic rods, which may be respectively located on both sides of the cleaning tank 11 along its width direction. Both electric telescopic rods may be fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 11. A connecting rod 32 may be connected between the two electric telescopic rods and may also be connected to the cleaning structure 13. The connecting rod 32 can extend or retract vertically, thereby driving the connecting rod 32 to move vertically, further driving the cleaning structure 13 to rise and fall vertically.

[0080] As an example, a guide structure 80 can be provided above the cleaning tank 11 along the height direction of the cleaning device 100. The guide structure 80 can be connected to the lifting drive mechanism 30 and can be fixed to the cleaning tank 11. The guide structure 80 can guide the lifting drive mechanism 30 to move vertically, thereby allowing the cleaning structure 13 to reciprocate vertically. The guide structure 80 can include a guide rail and a slider. The guide rail can extend along the height direction of the cleaning device 100, and the slider can be mounted on the guide rail and slide relative to the guide rail. The slider can be connected to the lifting drive mechanism 30. When the lifting drive mechanism 30 is configured as a hydraulic cylinder, the slider can be connected to a piston rod, and the piston rod can drive the slider to move together. The piston rod can move vertically under the guidance of the guide structure 80. When the lifting drive mechanism 30 is configured as an electric telescopic rod, the slider can be connected to the electric telescopic rod, and the electric telescopic rod can drive the slider to move together. The electric telescopic rod can move vertically under the guidance of the guide structure 80.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning structure 13 may include a cleaning pipe 131 and a plurality of nozzles 132. The plurality of nozzles 132 are all disposed in the cleaning pipe 131 and are used to spray the cleaning fluid in the cleaning pipe 131 toward the anode plate 200.

[0082] The cleaning pipe 131 contains cleaning fluid, which can be used to clean the anode plate 200. Multiple nozzles 132 can be installed on the cleaning pipe 131, allowing the cleaning fluid to flow out of the pipe and spray onto the anode plate 200. By using multiple nozzles 132, the flow rate of cleaning fluid exiting the cleaning pipe 131 simultaneously can be increased, thus increasing the contact area between the cleaning fluid and the anode plate 200 and improving the cleaning efficiency and effectiveness of the cleaning device 100. As an example, the cleaning tube 131 may include a first tube 1311, a second tube 1312, and a third tube 1313. Both the first and third tubes 1311 extend vertically and are inserted through the top wall of the cleaning tank 11. The second tube 1312 extends along the width of the cleaning space 111 and is located within the cleaning space 111. Both the first and third tubes 1311 can be connected to the connecting rod 32. The second tube 1312 can be connected between the first and third tubes 1311. An angle can be formed between the second tube 1312 and the first tube 1311, which can be a right angle or a similar right angle. The cleaning tube 131 may be constructed as a U-shaped structure. The first tube 1311, the second tube 1312 and the third tube 1313 are interconnected. Multiple nozzles 132 can be evenly arranged on the second tube 1312. The first tube 1311 or the third tube 1313 can be provided with a liquid inlet hole. The cleaning fluid can enter the cleaning tube 131 through the liquid inlet hole and be sprayed out from the multiple nozzles 132.

[0083] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, along the arrangement direction of the space inlet 1111 and the space outlet 1112, multiple nozzles 132 spray cleaning fluid toward both sides of the cleaning pipe 131.

[0084] There can be multiple anode plates 200. These multiple anode plates 200 can move synchronously along the arrangement direction of the space inlet 1111 and the space outlet 1112. When the cleaning structure 13 is used to clean the anode plates 200, anode plates 200 can be provided on both sides of the cleaning structure 13 along the arrangement direction of the space inlet 1111 and the space outlet 1112. Multiple nozzles 132 can be respectively arranged facing both sides of the cleaning pipe 131. The multiple nozzles 132 can spray cleaning liquid towards both sides of the cleaning pipe 131, so that the cleaning structure 13 can clean the anode plates 200 located on both sides of it at the same time. The relative distance between the two anode plates 200 located on both sides of the cleaning structure 13 and the cleaning structure 13 can be equal, so that the cleaning effect of the multiple nozzles 132 on the anode plates 200 located on both sides of the cleaning structure 13 is the same.

[0085] When the cleaning structure 13 finishes cleaning one side of the anode plate 200, the cleaning structure 13 rises to avoid the anode plate 200. The transmission chain 122 drives the anode plate 200 to move a unit length and then stops. The relative distance between the anode plates 200 on both sides of the cleaning structure 13 and the cleaning structure 13 is equal. The anode plate 200 on the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space inlet 1111 moves to the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space outlet 1112. The next anode plate 200 that has not been rinsed moves to the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space inlet 1111. The cleaning structure 13 cleans the anode plates 200. The cleaning structure 13 cleans one side of each anode plate 200. The transmission chain 122 drives the anode plate 200 to move a unit length, and so on. This can achieve the effect of the cleaning device 100 continuously cleaning multiple anode plates 200. The specific dimensions of the unit length, the pause time of the transmission chain 122 each time, and the spray volume of the multiple nozzles 132 can all be set according to the actual working conditions.

[0086] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device 100 for cleaning the anode plate 200 may further include: a detection mechanism 40, which is disposed in the cleaning tank 11 and is used to detect whether there is an anode plate 200 in the space outlet 1112.

[0087] A detection mechanism 40 can be installed at the space exit 1112. The detection mechanism 40 can be installed in the cleaning tank 11 by means of snap-fit, bolt connection, etc. The detection mechanism 40 can be installed on the top wall of the cleaning tank 11. The detection mechanism 40 can be used to detect whether there is an anode plate 200 at the space exit 1112. The cleaning device 100 has a unloading mechanism on the side opposite to the feeding mechanism. The unloading mechanism can be used to transport the anode plate 200 to the subsequent process. If the detection mechanism 40 detects that there is an anode plate 200 at the space exit 1112, the transport structure 12 can cooperate with the unloading mechanism to move the anode plate 200 to the unloading mechanism, so that the anode plate 200 can be carried out in the subsequent process.

[0088] As an example, the detection mechanism 40 can be a fiber optic sensor. When the anode plate 200 moves to the space outlet 1112, the detection signal of the detection mechanism 40 changes from zero to positive and then back to zero. Based on the change in the detection signal of the detection mechanism 40, it can be determined that the anode plate 200 has moved to the space outlet 1112. The transport structure 12 and the unloading mechanism cooperate to make the anode plate 200 move to the unloading mechanism.

[0089] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, along the vertical direction, the top wall of the cleaning space 111 has an exhaust port 15 that communicates with the cleaning space 111.

[0090] When the cleaning fluid is used to clean the anode plate 200, the cleaning fluid is a high-temperature liquid. When the high-temperature cleaning fluid is sprayed from the nozzle 132, high-temperature gas is generated. The high-temperature gas can be mist or water vapor, and the high-temperature gas will fill the cleaning space 111. An exhaust port 15 is formed on the top wall of the cleaning space 111. The exhaust port 15 can penetrate the top wall of the cleaning space 111 vertically and can communicate with the cleaning space 111. The high-temperature gas in the cleaning space 111 can be discharged from the cleaning space 111 through the exhaust port 15, thereby reducing the impact of the high-temperature gas on the cleaning effect of the cleaning structure 13.

[0091] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning device 100 for cleaning the anode plate 200 may further include: a liquefaction mechanism 50, which is fixed in the cleaning tank 11. The air inlet and the exhaust outlet 15 of the liquefaction mechanism 50 are connected so that the gas in the cleaning space 111 can flow into the liquefaction mechanism 50.

[0092] The liquefaction mechanism 50 can be located above the cleaning tank 11 and can be fixed to the top wall of the cleaning tank 11. The liquefaction mechanism 50 can be fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 11 by welding, bolting, or other methods. The air inlet of the liquefaction mechanism 50 is connected to the exhaust port 15. An exhaust pipe is connected between the air inlet of the liquefaction mechanism 50 and the exhaust port 15 of the cleaning space 111, so that the gas in the cleaning space 111 can flow into the liquefaction mechanism 50, the gas in the cleaning space 111 can be liquefied in the liquefaction mechanism 50, and periodically discharged from the cleaning device 100 through the liquefaction mechanism 50.

[0093] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6As shown, the cleaning device 100 for cleaning the anode plate 200 may further include: a cleaning liquid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60, which is connected to the cleaning space 111 so that the material in the cleaning space 111 flows into the cleaning liquid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60. The cleaning liquid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 is also connected to the cleaning structure 13 and is used to transport the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 to the cleaning structure 13.

[0094] The cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 is connected to the cleaning tank 11 and can be located below the cleaning tank 11 in the vertical direction. The cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 can communicate with the cleaning space 111, allowing substances in the cleaning space 111 to flow into the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60. As an example, a connecting pipe 16 can be connected between the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 and the cleaning space 111, allowing substances in the cleaning space 111 to flow into the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 through the connecting pipe 16. The cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 is also connected to the cleaning structure 13, and can communicate with the liquid inlet on the cleaning structure 13, allowing the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 to supply cleaning fluid to the cleaning structure 13, thus ensuring that the cleaning structure 13 has sufficient cleaning fluid to clean the anode plate 200.

[0095] As an example, the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 contains clear cleaning fluid. The cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 can transport the cleaning fluid to the cleaning structure 13. The cleaning structure 13 sprays the cleaning fluid onto the anode plate 200 to clean the anode plate 200. The used cleaning fluid and the material that falls off the anode plate 200 can flow into the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 through the connecting pipe 16. The material in the cleaning space 111 can settle in the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60. The material in the cleaning space 111 can be a mixture including cleaning fluid, barium sulfate, cuprous oxide, sludge, etc. The cleaning fluid contains impurities. Within the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60, the cleaning fluid can be separated from impurities mixed in it. The cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 can separate out clear cleaning fluid, which can then be transported to the cleaning structure 13. This process continues until the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 is insufficient for cleaning the anode plate 200, or until the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 can no longer separate out clear cleaning fluid. In this case, all substances in the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 can be discharged, and fresh, clear cleaning fluid can be injected back into the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 so that the cleaning device 100 can continue cleaning the anode plate 200.

[0096] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 is located below the cleaning mechanism 10.

[0097] The cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 can be located below the cleaning tank 11, that is, below the cleaning mechanism 10. When the cleaning mechanism 10 is used to clean the anode plate 200, the used cleaning fluid contains impurities. The used cleaning fluid is located in the cleaning space 111, which is connected to the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60. The substances in the cleaning space 111 can enter the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 under the action of gravity, and the impurities in the cleaning fluid can be deposited at the bottom of the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60. By setting the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 below the cleaning mechanism 10, the substances in the cleaning space 111 can flow into the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 in a timely manner, which can reduce the probability of substances accumulating in the cleaning space 111 and reduce the risk of substances overflowing from the cleaning space 111, thus improving the reliability and safety of the cleaning device 100.

[0098] As an example, the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11 can be funnel-shaped. The connection height between the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11 and the connecting pipe 16 can be lower than the connection height between the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11 and the side wall of the cleaning tank 11. When the cleaning structure 13 cleans the anode plate 200, the used cleaning fluid and the substances that fall off the anode plate 200 can flow into the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 through the connecting pipe 16 under the action of gravity. By setting the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11 to be funnel-shaped, the probability of substances in the cleaning space 111 overflowing from the cleaning tank 11 can be reduced, and the probability of substances in the cleaning space 111 polluting the external environment can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness and reliability of the cleaning device 100.

[0099] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 may include: a sedimentation tank 61 and a drive pump 62. A sedimentation space 611 is formed in the sedimentation tank 61. A partition structure 63 is provided in the sedimentation space 611. The lower end of the partition structure 63 is connected to the bottom wall of the sedimentation space 611, and the upper end of the partition structure 63 is separated from the top wall of the sedimentation space 611. The partition structure 63 divides the sedimentation space 611 into multiple sub-sedimentation spaces 612. At least one sub-sedimentation space 612 is connected to the cleaning space 111. The pump inlet of the drive pump 62 is connected to one sub-sedimentation space 612, and the pump outlet of the drive pump 62 is connected to the cleaning structure 13.

[0100] A sedimentation tank 61 can be located below the cleaning tank 11, and a connecting pipe 16 connects the sedimentation tank 61 and the cleaning tank 11. A sedimentation space 611 is formed inside the sedimentation tank 61. Substances entering the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 from the cleaning space 111 can enter the sedimentation space 611, and substances entering the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 from the cleaning space 111 can settle in the sedimentation space 611. A partition structure 63 is provided inside the sedimentation space 611. The partition structure 63 can extend vertically and is perpendicular to the bottom wall of the sedimentation space 611. The lower end of the partition structure 63 can be connected to the bottom wall of the sedimentation space 611, and the upper end of the partition structure 63 can be separated from the top wall of the sedimentation space 611. The height of the upper end of the partition structure 63 can be higher than the height of the vertical midline of the sedimentation space 611.

[0101] There can be at least one partition structure 63, or multiple partition structures 63, which can divide the sedimentation space 611 into multiple sub-sedimentation spaces 612, which are interconnected. At least one sub-sedimentation space 612 is connected to the washing space 111, and at least one sub-sedimentation space 612 can be vertically aligned with the washing space 111, allowing substances in the washing space 111 to flow into the corresponding sub-sedimentation space 612, where they can precipitate. Substances entering the corresponding sub-sedimentation space 612 from the washing space 111 can separate into washing liquid and solid impurities within the sub-sedimentation space 612. As substances continuously enter the corresponding sub-sedimentation space 612 from the washing space 111, the washing liquid in the sub-sedimentation space 612 can overflow from its upper part to adjacent sub-sedimentation spaces 612.

[0102] The pump inlet of the drive pump 62 can be connected to a sub-sedimentation space 612. The drive pump 62 can be connected to the sub-sedimentation space 612 containing cleaning fluid within the sedimentation space 611. The sub-sedimentation space 612 can be provided with a drain port 614, and the pump inlet of the drive pump 62 can be connected to the drain port 614. As an example, a filter 621 can be provided between the pump inlet of the drive pump 62 and the drain port 614. The filter 621 can filter the cleaning fluid flowing through it, reducing impurities in the cleaning fluid and further improving the cleanliness of the cleaning fluid delivered to the cleaning structure 13. The drain port 614 can be located on the bottom wall of the sub-sedimentation space 612, or on the side wall of the sub-sedimentation space 612 near the bottom wall, so that the drive pump 62 can extract as much liquid as possible from the sub-sedimentation space 612, reducing the probability that some of the cleaning fluid in the sub-sedimentation space 612 cannot enter the cleaning structure 13 through the drive pump 62, which is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the cleaning fluid. The pump outlet of the drive pump 62 can be connected to the cleaning structure 13, enabling the drive pump 62 to pump the cleaning solution from the sub-sedimentation space 612 into the cleaning structure 13. As an example, the pump outlet of the drive pump 62 can be connected to an inlet pipe 64, which extends vertically and can be connected to the liquid inlet of the cleaning structure 13 via a flexible hose, allowing the cleaning solution from the sub-sedimentation space 612 to enter the cleaning structure 13. By connecting the drive pump 62 to the sub-sedimentation space 612, the cleaning solution can be recycled, which helps conserve water resources and protect the environment.

[0103] As an example, the sub-sedimentation space 612 connected to the drive pump 62 can be equipped with a level gauge and a thermometer, so as to monitor the level and temperature of the cleaning fluid in the sub-sedimentation space 612 connected to the drive pump 62, thereby achieving the effect of monitoring whether the cleaning fluid in the sedimentation tank 61 can meet the requirements for cleaning the anode plate 200.

[0104] As an example, the cleaning solution used to clean the anode plate 200 needs to be a high-temperature cleaning solution. The top wall of the sedimentation tank 61 can be provided with a steam inlet 613. The operator can introduce high-temperature steam into the sedimentation tank 61 through the steam inlet 613, thereby achieving the effect of heating the temperature of the cleaning solution in the sedimentation space 611, so that the high-temperature cleaning solution can enter the cleaning structure 13 and clean the anode plate 200.

[0105] This application embodiment takes the partition structure 63 as an example for explanation. The partition structure 63 divides the sedimentation space 611 into two sub-sedimentation spaces 612. The two sub-sedimentation spaces 612 can be the first sub-sedimentation space and the second sub-sedimentation space, respectively. The first sub-sedimentation space can be arranged vertically corresponding to the cleaning space 111 and can be connected to the cleaning space 111. The second sub-sedimentation space can be connected to the drive pump 62 and can be connected to the first sub-sedimentation space and the second sub-sedimentation space. When the cleaning structure 13 cleans the anode plate 200, the material in the cleaning space 111 flows into the first sub-precipitation space. The cleaning solution mixed with impurities settles in the first sub-precipitation space. The impurities in the cleaning solution are deposited in the lower part of the first sub-precipitation space. The cleaning solution accumulates continuously. When the cleaning solution exceeds the upper end of the partition structure 63, the cleaning solution flows into the second sub-precipitation space. The cleaning solution in the second sub-precipitation space enters the cleaning structure 13 through the drive pump 62. The cleaning solution cleans the anode plate 200. The cleaning solution is recycled until the cleaning solution in the cleaning device 100 is insufficient to clean the anode plate 200, or the cleaning solution circulation and precipitation mechanism 60 can no longer separate clear cleaning solution. At this time, the material in the precipitation space 611 can be discharged from the cleaning solution circulation and precipitation mechanism 60, and fresh clear cleaning solution can be injected back into the precipitation tank 61 so that the cleaning device 100 can continue to clean the anode plate 200.

[0106] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 may also include a drain pipe 70, which is connected to multiple sub-sedimentation spaces 612.

[0107] When the cleaning fluid in the cleaning device 100 is insufficient for cleaning the anode plate 200, or when the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60 can no longer separate clear cleaning fluid, it is necessary to discharge the substances in the multiple sub-sedimentation spaces 612 from the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60. The drain pipe 70 can be connected to all multiple sub-sedimentation spaces 612, and the drain pipe 70 discharges the substances in the sedimentation spaces 611 from the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60. The drain pipe 70 can be selectively opened or closed. When the cleaning device 100 is used to clean the anode plate 200, the drain pipe 70 is closed; when it is necessary to discharge the substances in the multiple sub-sedimentation spaces 612 from the cleaning fluid circulation and sedimentation mechanism 60, the drain pipe 70 is opened.

[0108] Other configurations and operations of the cleaning apparatus 100 for cleaning the anode plate 200 according to the embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0109] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 includes a first sub-sedimentation space and a second sub-sedimentation space. The first sub-sedimentation space and the cleaning space 111 are arranged correspondingly in the vertical direction. The first sub-sedimentation space can communicate with the cleaning space 111, and the second sub-sedimentation space can communicate with the drive pump 62. The first sub-sedimentation space and the second sub-sedimentation space are connected. Before the cleaning device 100 is used to clean the anode plate 200, the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 is filled with cleaning fluid. When the cleaning device 100 is used to clean the anode plate 200, the lifting drive mechanism 30 drives the cleaning structure 13 to rise in the vertical direction above the transport structure 12. The feeding mechanism transports the anode plate 200 to the end of the feeding mechanism facing the cleaning device 100. The dial wheel 21 rotates, and the actuating mechanism 20 cooperates with the feeding mechanism to move the anode plate 200 to the transport structure 12. Multiple anode plates 200 are transported to the transport structure 12 in sequence, and multiple anode plates 200 abut against the limiting protrusion 1221 on the transmission chain 122.

[0110] When the transport structure 12 transports the foremost anode plate 200 among the multiple anode plates 200 to the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space inlet 1111 along the length of the cleaning space 111, and the distance between the anode plate 200 and the cleaning structure 13 is equal to half the unit length, the transport structure 12 stops moving, and the lifting drive mechanism 30 drives the cleaning structure 13 to descend vertically, and the cleaning structure 13 cleans the anode plate 200. The lifting drive mechanism 30 drives the cleaning structure 13 to rise vertically, avoiding the anode plates 200. The transport structure 12 continues to move a unit length, and the anode plate 200 on the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space inlet 1111 moves to the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space outlet 1112. The next unwashed anode plate 200 moves to the side of the cleaning structure 13 facing the space inlet 1111. The transport structure 12 pauses, and the lifting drive mechanism 30 drives the cleaning structure 13 to descend vertically. Multiple nozzles 132 are positioned between two anode plates 200, spraying cleaning fluid towards the two anode plates 200 respectively. The lifting drive mechanism 30 drives the cleaning structure 13 to reciprocate vertically, cleaning the two anode plates 200. This process continues, with the cleaning structure 13 cleaning one side of two anode plates 200 each time, and the transport structure 12 conveying multiple anode plates 200.

[0111] When the detection mechanism 40 located at the space exit 1112 detects an anode plate 200 at the space exit 1112, the transport structure 12 and the unloading mechanism cooperate to move the anode plate 200 to the unloading mechanism, thus allowing the anode plate 200 to undergo subsequent processes. The cleaning liquid containing impurities generated by the cleaning structure 13 while cleaning the anode plate 200 flows into the first sub-precipitation space under gravity. The cleaning liquid containing impurities settles in the first sub-precipitation space, separating the cleaning liquid from the solid impurities. As more cleaning liquid containing impurities enters the first sub-precipitation space, the cleaning liquid in the first sub-precipitation space can overflow from the top of the first sub-precipitation space to the adjacent second sub-precipitation space. The second sub-precipitation space is connected to the drive pump 62, which can pump the cleaning liquid in the second sub-precipitation space into the cleaning structure 13, thereby realizing the recycling of the cleaning liquid and saving resources. When the cleaning fluid in the cleaning device 100 is insufficient to clean the anode plate 200, or when the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 can no longer separate out clear cleaning fluid, the substances in the sedimentation space 611 can be discharged from the cleaning fluid circulation sedimentation mechanism 60 through the drain pipe 70, and fresh clear cleaning fluid can be injected back into the sedimentation tank 61 so that the cleaning device 100 can continue to clean the anode plate 200.
