Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing device technology, specifically an automatic washing device for electrolytic anode mud. Background Technology

[0002] During electrolytic refining, when current passes through the electrolyte solution, metals on the anode dissolve into the solution, while some insoluble impurities detach from the anode surface. These impurities, along with insoluble substances produced by various chemical reactions in the solution, together form anode slime. Anode slime exists primarily in three forms: some adheres tightly to the anode substrate surface, some settles at the bottom of the electrolytic cell, and some is suspended in the electrolyte. Anode slime is typically rich in precious metals and other rare elements. Taking the electrolytic refining of copper as an example, in addition to the main component copper, the anode slime also contains precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, as well as rare elements such as selenium and tellurium. Because these precious metals and rare elements are relatively chemically stable, they are difficult to dissolve into the solution at the anode and thus gradually accumulate in the anode slime.

[0003] Currently, the anode mud that is tightly attached to the surface of the anode substrate is usually cleaned by manual rinsing. This results in the anode mud not being cleaned thoroughly, causing the loss of precious metals from the anode mud. To address this, we propose an automatic washing device for electrolytic anode mud.

[0013] Preferably, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner cavity of the washing cover, and guide slopes are provided at both the left and right ends of the guide plate.

[0014] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the bottom of the inner cavity of the adjusting seat, a return spring is fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixing plate, one end of the return spring is fixedly connected to a movable plate that slides on the inner surface of the rear end of the adjusting seat, and the rear side of the movable plate contacts the guide plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model, through the setting of the positioning clamp, can limit the position of the anode substrate after it is placed inside it.

[0017] 2. This utility model uses a drive motor to rotate the guide roller and conveyor belt, enabling the adjusting seat to move into the washing hood. When the traveling gear of the adjusting seat meshes with the toothed plate, and with the smooth transmission of the conveyor belt, the traveling gear rolls on the toothed plate, driving the rotating shaft and the driving bevel gear to rotate. With the meshing of the driven bevel gear, the rotating shaft and the positioning clamp fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft can rotate. At this time, external cleaning water can be sent into the equalization pipe through the conveying pipe, and then sprayed outwards by the inclined nozzle under pressure onto the surface of the anode substrate that rotates with the positioning clamp, thereby cleanly and thoroughly washing away the anode mud on the surface of the anode substrate. The liquid generated by rinsing can pass through the conveyor belt and fall into the sedimentation tank through the channel to settle, thereby preventing the loss of precious metals.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic washing device for electrolytic anode mud, including a conveyor belt 104 disposed inside the conveyor seat 1, and further including:

[0029] A washing cover 4 is fixedly installed at the top center of the conveyor seat 1. Liquid distribution pipes 403 are fixedly installed at both ends of the inner cavity of the washing cover 4. Multiple inclined spray pipes 402 are provided on one side of the liquid distribution pipes 403. A support plate 301 is fixedly connected to the front side of the inner cavity of the washing cover 4. A toothed plate 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 301.

[0030] A sedimentation tank 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the conveyor seat 1;

[0031] An adjusting seat 3 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 104. The inner cavity of the adjusting seat 3 is movably connected to a rotating shaft 304 via a bearing. A traveling gear 303 that meshes with a toothed plate 302 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating shaft 304. A rotating shaft 309 is movably connected to the middle of the top of the adjusting seat 3 via a bearing. A driven bevel gear 310 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the adjusting seat 3. A driving bevel gear 311 that meshes with the driven bevel gear 310 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the inner cavity of the adjusting seat 3 via the rotating shaft 304. A positioning clamp 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 309.

[0032] Support legs 102 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the conveyor seat 1. Multiple guide rollers 101 are equidistantly connected to the inner side of the conveyor seat 1 via bearings, and the conveyor belt 104 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rollers 101. A drive motor 103 is fixedly installed at the left end of the front of the conveyor seat 1, and the output end of the drive motor 103 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide roller 101. A through groove 105 is opened at the bottom of the conveyor seat 1 at the corresponding position of the sedimentation tank 2. A guide block 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the conveyor seat 1. A drain pipe 201 is provided at the lower left side of the conveyor seat 1, and a valve body is provided at one end of the drain pipe 201. The left and right sides of the positioning clamp seat 305 are provided with L-shaped grooves 306. Multiple clamping springs 307 are fixedly installed on one side of the groove 306. One end of the clamping spring 307 is fixedly connected to a positioning plate 308, and a protective pad is glued to one side of the positioning plate 308. The top of the liquid equalization pipe 403 is connected to a conveying pipe 401 that extends to the outside of the washing cover 4.

[0033] This technical solution: By setting the positioning clamp 305, the anode substrate is placed inside it, which can limit its position. With the assistance of the clamping spring 307, the positioning plate 308 is driven to move closer to the anode substrate. With the assistance of the protective pad, the anode substrate can be further clamped after placement, ensuring the stability of the anode substrate after placement. When the device is turned on by the external controller, the drive motor 103 works, and with the cooperation of the guide roller 101 and the conveyor belt 104, it can drive the adjusting seat 3 to move into the washing cover 4. When the traveling gear 303 of the adjusting seat 3 meshes with the toothed plate 302, and with the smooth transmission of the conveyor belt 104, the traveling gear 303 moves into the toothed plate 302. When the 02 rolls, the traveling gear 303 can drive the rotating shaft 304 and the driving bevel gear 311 to rotate. With the meshing connection of the driven bevel gear 310, it can drive the rotating shaft 309 and the positioning clamp 305 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 309 to rotate. At this time, the external clean water can be sent into the liquid equalization pipe 403 through the conveying pipe 401 and then sprayed outward by the inclined nozzle 402 under pressure onto the surface of the anode substrate that rotates with the positioning clamp 305. This can thoroughly wash away the anode mud on the surface of the anode substrate. The liquid generated by rinsing can pass through the conveying mesh belt 104 and fall into the sedimentation tank 2 through the through groove 105 to settle, thereby preventing the loss of precious metals.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, a guide plate 5 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner cavity of the washing cover 4, and guide slopes are provided at both ends of the guide plate 5. A fixing plate 501 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the bottom of the inner cavity of the adjusting seat 3. A return spring 502 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixing plate 501. A movable plate 504 that slides on the inner surface of the rear end of the adjusting seat 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the return spring 502. The rear side of the movable plate 504 contacts the guide plate 5. A fixing block 507 is fixedly connected to the front end of the top of the movable plate 504. A positioning rod 503 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixing block 507. A fixing ring 505 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rear end of the inner cavity of the adjusting seat 3 on the rotating shaft 304. A positioning hole 506 that matches the positioning rod 503 is opened on the inner surface of the fixing ring 505.

[0036] This technical solution: By setting the guide plate 5, before the traveling gear 303 of the adjusting seat 3 meshes with the toothed plate 302, the movable plate 504 can first contact the guide plate 5, and then the movable plate 504 can move into the adjusting seat 3. With the assistance of the fixed plate 501, it can compress the return spring 502. When the movable plate 504 moves, it will drive the fixed block 507 and the positioning rod 503 to move. When the positioning rod 503 moves, it will retract into the corresponding positioning hole 506, thus facilitating the subsequent rotation of the rotating shaft 304. After the traveling gear 303 disengages from the toothed plate 302, the movable plate 504 then disengages from the guide plate 5. At this time, the compressed return spring 502 will drive the movable plate 504 to reset. The reset movable plate 504 can drive the positioning rod 503 to be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 506 of the fixed ring 505 via the fixed block 507, thereby locking the position of the rotating shaft 304 and preventing the positioning clamp 305 from shaking and becoming unstable during the conveyor belt 104 transmission, which is convenient for people to use.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
