Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a waste liquid collection pool for a vanadium redox flow energy storage power station. Background Technology

[0002] Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is a large-scale energy storage technology that stores and releases electrical energy through redox reactions of vanadium ions between different valence states. However, during operation, the electrolyte may generate waste liquid due to leaks, system maintenance, or disposal, containing vanadium compounds, sulfuric acid, and potential impurities. Improper handling of this waste liquid can pollute the environment and lead to a waste of vanadium resources. Therefore, designing an efficient waste liquid collection system is crucial for the safe operation and sustainable development of VRFB power plants.

[0003] In existing technologies, waste liquid from battery production needs to be discharged into a collection tank for sedimentation to achieve solid-liquid separation. However, the following difficulties exist in solid-liquid separation: 1. Since the thickness of the sediment cannot be predicted, the pumping pipe placed in the sedimentation tank needs to be manually observed before it is fixed, so that the pumping pipe is above the sediment, which is cumbersome; 2. Workers use tools to scrape the sediment at the bottom and pile it up in one place, which is difficult to transport out of the sedimentation tank. Utility Model Content

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the waste liquid collection tank of the vanadium redox flow storage power station proposed in this embodiment includes a storage tank 1, a movable scraper 2, a sealing plate 4, a filter screen 6, a vertical movable pipe 10, and a waste bin 22.

[0020] One end of the liquid storage tank 1 has an upper through hole 101, and the bottom end of the inner side of the liquid storage tank 1 has a bottom groove 102, which is located directly below the upper through hole 101. The movable scraper 2 is slidably installed inside the liquid storage tank 1. The liquid storage tank 1 is equipped with a first drive assembly for driving the movable scraper 2 to move. The first drive assembly has a second servo motor 16 and a threaded rod 17. Both ends of the upper part of the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 1 have sliding grooves 103. Both ends of the movable scraper 2 are connected to connecting sliders 5. The two connecting sliders 5 are slidably installed in the sliding grooves 103 on both sides. The threaded rod 17 is rotatably installed in one side of the sliding groove 103 and is threadedly connected to the corresponding side connecting slider 5. The second servo motor 16 is installed outside the liquid storage tank 1 and its output shaft is connected to the threaded rod 17. It is worth noting that it is necessary to ensure that the liquid level inside the liquid storage tank 1 does not exceed the bottom position of the sliding groove 103.

[0021] The waste bin 22 has an opening at the top and is located inside the bottom trough 102. The sealing plate 4 is located at the top of the liquid storage tank 1 and covers the through hole 101. A fixing rod 21 connects the sealing plate 4 and the waste bin 22. A second drive assembly for driving the sealing plate 4 to rise and fall is installed on the liquid storage tank 1. The second drive assembly includes a first servo motor 13, a reel 14, and a winding rope 15. A gantry frame 3 is provided on the liquid storage tank 1. The sealing plate 4 is slidably mounted on the gantry frame 3. The first servo motor 13 is mounted on the top of the gantry frame 3. The reel 14 is mounted on the output shaft of the first servo motor 13. One end of the winding rope 15 is fixedly wound around the reel 14. The winding rope 15 movably passes through the top of the gantry frame 3 and is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 4. A vertical movable tube 10 movably passes through the sealing plate 4. A float 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical movable tube 10. A flexible hose 11 is connected to the top of the vertical movable tube 10.

[0022] The filter screen 6 is located at the bottom of the inner side of the liquid storage tank 1 and near the bottom tank 102. A rectangular frame 61 is installed on the outer periphery of the filter screen 6. The rectangular frame 61 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 1. A connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the rectangular frame 61. An elastic telescopic rod assembly is connected between the upper end of the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 1 and the connecting rod 7. The elastic telescopic rod assembly includes a sleeve 81, a movable rod 82, a spring 83, and a limiting block 84. The sleeve 81 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 1. The movable rod 82 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 7. The end of the movable rod 82 is movably located inside the sleeve 81 and connected to the limiting block 84. The spring 83 is sleeved on the movable rod 82. The setting of the elastic telescopic rod assembly allows the filter screen 6 to move a certain distance to the waste bin 22. After the cleaning work is completed, the filter screen 6 can be automatically driven to reset under the elastic force of the spring 83.

[0023] A push rod 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable scraper 2 adjacent to the filter screen 6. The push rod 9 can push the rectangular frame 61 to move during the movement. The push rod 9 makes a certain gap between the movable scraper 2 and the filter screen 6 to prevent solid sediment from being trapped between the movable scraper 2 and the filter screen 6, so that the sediment can fall naturally into the waste bin 22.

[0024] In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the storage tank 1 is completely sealed in the initial state, which isolates the flow of waste liquid inside the storage tank 1 from the air and improves safety (because battery waste liquid may volatilize acidic gases, organic solvent vapors, alkaline aerosols and other substances during storage).

[0025] Waste liquid settles inside storage tank 1, achieving solid-liquid separation for convenient subsequent classification and treatment. Float 12 floats on the liquid and changes with the liquid level. The movement of float 12 moves the vertical movable pipe 10. By observing the rise and fall of the vertical movable pipe 10, staff can roughly determine the liquid level inside storage tank 1. Furthermore, to improve observation accuracy, graduations can be set on the surface of the vertical movable pipe 10. The hose 11 is connected to the pump, and the pump is started. The liquid inside storage tank 1 is pumped through the vertical movable pipe 10 and the hose 11. The pump extracts the liquid, achieving separation. It should be noted that the float 12 is located above the inner side of the bottom tank 102, and the bottom of the vertical movable pipe 10 passes through the float 12. After the liquid on the side of the filter screen 6 away from the bottom tank 102 is pumped out, a small amount of liquid still exists in the upper part of the waste tank 22. The filter screen 6 is set to prevent solid matter on one side from flowing into the waste tank 22 during the pumping process, thus preventing the water inside the waste tank 22 from being stirred up. When the liquid inside the waste tank 22 is completely pumped out, the float 12 will not continue to move downward.

[0026] The first drive component drives the moving scraper 2 to move towards the waste bin 22. During the movement, the moving scraper 2 pushes the sediment at the bottom of the storage tank 1 into the waste bin 22, and then drives the moving scraper 2 to reset.

[0027] The second drive assembly drives the sealing plate 4 and the waste bin 22 to move upward synchronously, so that the waste bin 22 moves out from the inside of the upper through hole 101. Then, the staff can use tools to clean out the sediment inside the waste bin 22.

[0028] It should be added that the equipment is controlled by a PLC controller in this technical solution.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the waste liquid collection pool of the vanadium redox flow storage power station proposed in this embodiment has an inlet funnel 18 on the side of the storage pool 1 compared with the first embodiment. The inlet funnel 18 is connected to the storage pool 1 by a connecting pipe 19. An electrically controlled valve 20 is installed on the connecting pipe 19. When waste liquid is poured into the storage pool 1, the electrically controlled valve 20 is opened. After the waste liquid injection is completed, the electrically controlled valve 20 is closed, which can prevent a large amount of harmful substances inside the storage pool 1 from volatilizing into the air.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
