Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolyte tank technology, specifically an electrolyte tank with an anti-sedimentation and anti-turbulence structure. Background Technology

[0002] In electrolysis, the electrolyte tank is one of the core pieces of equipment. The purity and quality of the electrolyte inside plays a crucial role in the stability of the electrolysis process and the quality of the electrolytic products. However, in actual production, the electrolyte tank often faces the problem of sedimentation. After the electrolyte tank has been in a static state for a period of time, sedimentation inevitably occurs due to the combined effects of various factors such as differences in the solubility of different components in the electrolyte, temperature changes, and chemical reactions. These sedimentary impurities may be incompletely dissolved raw materials, reaction byproducts, or impurities introduced from the outside.

[0003] However, existing electrolyte tanks with anti-precipitation and anti-turbulence structures still have some drawbacks in practical use: during the collection of precipitated impurities, the entire electrolyte tank remains interconnected due to the lack of effective isolation measures. When conventional cleaning methods are used, such as stirring and extracting precipitates, the precipitated impurities are easily agitated and subsequently mixed back into the normal electrolyte. This not only reduces the purity of the normal electrolyte, affecting its chemical properties and electrolytic performance, but also causes more side reactions during electrolysis, reducing electrolysis efficiency and increasing production costs.

[0004] To address these issues, we designed an electrolyte tank with an anti-sedimentation and anti-turbulence structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrolyte tank with an anti-sedimentation and anti-turbulence structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an electrolyte tank with an anti-sedimentation and anti-turbulence structure, including an outer shell, a rotor pump is provided on one side of the outer shell, a pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the rotor pump, the pipe passes through the side wall of the outer shell and extends into the outer shell, a sealing plate is slidably inserted into the outer shell, a power chamber is provided on one side of the outer shell, a drive assembly is provided in the power chamber, and the drive assembly is connected to one end of the sealing plate.

A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the power chamber. A driven gear is fixedly fitted onto the rotating shaft. The drive gear and the driven gear are meshed together. A support plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the power chamber. A rack plate is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate. The rack plate is meshed with the driven gear. A fixed pulley is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the power chamber. A steel wire rope is wound on the fixed pulley. One end of the steel wire rope is fixedly connected to the support plate. The other end of the steel wire rope is fixedly connected to a connecting plate. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting plate. A sliding plate is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod. The side of the sliding plate away from the connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of a sealing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a limiting groove is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the power chamber, and the bottom of the slide plate is slidably connected to the limiting groove. A sliding groove is formed on the limiting groove, and a slider is slidably arranged in the sliding groove. A telescopic rod is arranged in the sliding groove, and the two ends of the telescopic rod are respectively fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the sliding groove and the bottom of the slider. A first spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod, and the two ends of the first spring are respectively fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the sliding groove and the bottom of the slider.

[0009] Furthermore, two second springs are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, and the other end of each of the two second springs is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the power chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, guide rails are fixedly connected to the two opposite side walls of the outer casing, and the sealing plate is slidably installed between the two guide rails, with the sealing plate slidably connected to the inner side wall of the guide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealing plate extends through the side wall of the housing and is slidably connected to the opening in the side wall of the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing plate cooperates with the inner wall of the outer casing to form a seal.

[0013] Furthermore, the touch switch is electrically connected to the rotor pump.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the outer shell is separated into two areas by a sealing plate. This design makes the operation of collecting precipitated impurities independent of the area where the normal electrolyte is located, avoiding interference with the normal electrolyte when collecting precipitates. For example, it prevents precipitated impurities from being stirred and mixed back into the normal electrolyte, ensuring the purity and quality of the normal electrolyte and facilitating the stable operation of the electrolysis process.

[0016] 2.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: an electrolyte tank with an anti-precipitation and anti-turbulence structure, including a shell 1, a rotor pump 2 is provided on one side of the shell 1, a pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the input end of the rotor pump 2, the pipe 3 passes through the side wall of the shell 1 and extends into the shell 1, a sealing plate 4 is slidably inserted into the shell 1, a power chamber 5 is provided on one side of the shell 1, a drive assembly is provided in the power chamber 5, the drive assembly is connected to one end of the sealing plate 4, the sealing plate 4 passes through the side wall of the shell 1 and is slidably connected to the opening of the side wall of the shell 1, and the sealing plate 4 cooperates with the inner side wall of the shell 1 to form a seal.

[0024] The drive assembly includes a motor 6, which is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the power chamber 5. The drive shaft of the motor 6 passes through the side wall of the power chamber 5 and extends into the interior of the power chamber 5. A drive gear 7 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft of the motor 6. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the power chamber 5. A driven gear 8 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft. The drive gear 7 and the driven gear 8 are meshed together. A support plate 9 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the power chamber 5. A rack plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 9. The rack plate 10 is meshed with the driven gear 8. A fixed pulley 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the power chamber 5. A steel wire rope is wound on the fixed pulley 11. One end of the steel wire rope is fixedly connected to the support plate 9. The other end of the steel wire rope is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 12. A connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting plate 12. A sliding plate 14 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 13. The side of the sliding plate 14 away from the connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing plate 4.

[0025] In practice, after standing for a period of time, sediment appears in the electrolyte tank. The motor 6 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 6 drives the drive gear 7 to rotate. Since the drive gear 7 meshes with the driven gear 8, the driven gear 8 rotates, which causes the rack plate 10 to move the support plate 9 away from the outer shell 1. The support plate 9 can pull the wire rope, which can move the connecting plate 12 downward. The two second springs 20 are stretched, and the connecting plate 12 moves downward. The connecting rod 13 can cause the slide plate 14 to move the sealing plate 4 towards the outer shell 1. The sealing plate 4 can seal the outer shell 1.

[0026] See Figure 4 A limiting groove 15 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the power chamber 5. The bottom of the slide plate 14 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 15. A sliding groove 16 is provided on the limiting groove 15. A slider 17 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 16. A telescopic rod 18 is provided in the sliding groove 16. The two ends of the telescopic rod 18 are respectively fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the sliding groove 16 and the bottom of the slider 17. A first spring 19 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 18. The two ends of the first spring 19 are respectively fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the sliding groove 16 and the bottom of the slider 17. A touch switch is provided on the bottom wall of the telescopic rod 18. The touch switch is electrically connected to the rotor pump 2.

[0027] As the slide plate 14 moves closer to the outer shell 1, the slide plate 14 gradually presses down the slider 17 via the inclined surface on the slider 17, causing the telescopic rod 18 and the outer first spring 19 to retract. When the slider 17 is pressed down to the bottom, the touch switch is activated, and the rotor pump 2 starts. The rotor pump 2 can extract and collect the impurities precipitated in the outer shell 1, thus preventing the precipitated impurities from accumulating in the outer shell 1 and being difficult to clean. At the same time, the sealing plate 4 isolates the outer shell 1 into two areas to prevent the collection of precipitates from affecting the normal electrolyte.

[0028] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two second springs 20 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 12. The other end of each second spring 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the power chamber 5. The second springs 20 can provide the resetting power for the connecting plate 12. Guide rails 21 are fixedly connected to the two opposite side walls of the outer shell 1. The sealing plate 4 is slidably installed between the two guide rails 21. The sealing plate 4 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the guide rail 21. The guide rail 21 can make the movement of the sealing plate 4 more stable and prevent positional displacement.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] After standing for a period of time, sediment appears in the electrolyte tank. Start the motor 6. The output shaft of the motor 6 drives the drive gear 7 to rotate. Since the drive gear 7 meshes with the driven gear 8, the driven gear 8 rotates, which causes the rack plate 10 to move the support plate 9 away from the outer shell 1. The support plate 9 can pull the wire rope, which can move the connecting plate 12 downward. The two second springs 20 are stretched. The downward movement of the connecting plate 12 can cause the slide plate 14 to move the sealing plate 4 closer to the outer shell 1 through the connecting rod 13. The sealing plate 4 can seal the outer shell 1.

[0031] As the slide plate 14 moves closer to the outer shell 1, the slide plate 14 gradually presses down the slider 17 via the inclined surface on the slider 17, causing the telescopic rod 18 and the outer first spring 19 to retract. When the slider 17 is pressed down to the bottom, the touch switch is activated, and the rotor pump 2 starts. The rotor pump 2 can extract and collect the impurities precipitated in the outer shell 1, thus preventing the precipitated impurities from accumulating in the outer shell 1 and being difficult to clean. At the same time, the sealing plate 4 isolates the outer shell 1 into two areas to prevent the collection of precipitates from affecting the normal electrolyte.

[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
