Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic cell level regulation technology, and in particular to a stainless steel electrolytic cell level regulation device. Background Technology

[0002] Stainless steel electropolishing is a surface brightening treatment for stainless steel workpieces. The workpiece is used as the anode and an insoluble metal is used as the cathode. Both electrodes are immersed in an electrolytic cell and a direct current is applied to produce selective anodic dissolution, which gradually smooths the surface of the workpiece, thereby increasing the surface brightness of the workpiece.

[0003] Patent publication number CN220977185U discloses an electrolytic cell level adjustment device, comprising: an electrolytic cell, the side of which is connected to the output port of a pump body via a pipeline, the input port of the pump body being used to connect to a replenishment tank; a support base disposed on the side wall of the electrolytic cell, the top surface of the support base being provided with a touch switch; and a sliding member vertically slidably mounted on the support base, the sliding member having a counterweight end located above the support base and a floating end located below the support base; wherein, the floating end can float on the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, so that the counterweight end rises without contacting the touch switch; this can solve the risk that the cathode copper may not be completely submerged when placed into the electrolytic cell due to the consumption of electrolyte in the electrolytic cell.

[0004] The above devices replenish the electrolyte to prevent the workpiece from being completely submerged due to low liquid level. In actual electrolytic processing, different liquid level requirements may occur. When the liquid level is too high, the above devices can achieve overflow by entering the auxiliary tank through a baffle. However, since the height of the baffle cannot be adjusted, the overflow height cannot be flexibly adjusted. Furthermore, they lack the function of diverting and reusing the overflowed electrolyte, thus requiring additional electrolyte to be drawn from other containers for replenishment, resulting in insufficient resource utilization.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0033] This utility model discloses a liquid level regulating device for a stainless steel electrolytic cell. (Refer to...) Figures 1-6 The electrolytic cell 1 includes a partition 2 fixedly connected inside the electrolytic cell 1. A through groove 3 is provided on the partition 2. An overflow plate 4 is slidably connected inside the partition 2. An adjustment mechanism 5 is provided on the electrolytic cell 1. The adjustment mechanism 5 includes a U-shaped plate 51, which is fixedly connected to the top of the electrolytic cell 1. A control plate 52 is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped plate 51. The control plate 52 extends into the through groove 3 and is fixedly connected to the top of the overflow plate 4. A first threaded rod 53 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped plate 51.

[0034] A submersible pump 54 is fixedly connected inside the electrolytic cell 1. A first pipe 55 is fixedly connected to the output end of the submersible pump 54. The first pipe 55 passes through one side wall of the electrolytic cell 1 and is fixedly connected to the electrolytic cell 1. The first pipe 55 extends to the top of the electrolytic cell 1. A filter assembly 6 is installed inside the electrolytic cell 1. A partition 2 isolates the electrolytic cell 1 into two independent spaces. The overflow height can be flexibly adjusted by controlling the height of the overflow plate 4. Compared with a constant overflow height, it can better match the needs of electrolytes at different depths. Furthermore, when it is necessary to increase the electrolyte level, the overflowed electrolyte can be reintroduced into the electrolysis area in the electrolytic cell 1 by the submersible pump 54, thereby improving the resource utilization efficiency.

[0035] A motor 56 is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped plate 51. The motor 56 is fixedly connected to one end of the first threaded rod 53 through the output shaft. One end of the first threaded rod 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition plate 2. After the motor 56 works, it drives the first threaded rod 53 to rotate. A transition frame 57 is fixedly connected to the front side wall of the electrolytic cell 1. A horizontal plate 58 is fixedly connected inside the electrolytic cell 1. A water pump 59 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 58. A support plate 591 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the electrolytic cell 1. A positioning plate 592 is slidably connected to the top wall of the support plate 591. The positioning plate 592 can move flexibly inside the support plate 591.

[0036] A second pipe 593 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 59. One end of the second pipe 593 is fixedly connected to the top of the adapter frame 57. A corrugated pipe 594 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 59. The corrugated pipe 594 passes through the bottom wall of the positioning plate 592 and is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 592. The corrugated pipe 594 can be extended and adjusted. A second threaded rod 595 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the support plate 591. The second threaded rod 595 extends out of the support plate 591 and passes through one side wall of the positioning plate 592 and is threadedly connected to the positioning plate 592. After the second threaded rod 595 rotates, it drives the positioning plate 592 to move horizontally. A scale groove 596 is opened on the front side wall of the U-shaped plate 51. An indicator plate 597 is fixedly connected to the front side of the control plate 52. The indicator plate 597 passes through the front side wall of the U-shaped plate 51. The overflow height is referenced by the different pointing positions of the indicator plate 597 on the scale groove 596.

[0037] The filter assembly 6 includes a guide plate 61, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the electrolytic cell 1. One side of the guide plate 61 is fixedly connected to one side of the partition plate 2. A filter screen frame 62 is provided inside the electrolytic cell 1. The filter screen frame 62 extends into the inside of the guide plate 61 and fits against the inner side of the guide plate 61. The bottom of the filter screen frame 62 contacts the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the electrolytic cell 1. The filter screen frame 62 is located on one side of the submersible pump 54. An auxiliary block 63 is fixedly connected inside the filter screen frame 62. After the overflow and extracted electrolyte enter the inside of the filter screen frame 62, the filter screen frame 62 filters and retains the impurities in the electrolyte.

[0038] In actual operation, when this device is used, first connect the power supply to the device. The partition 2 divides the entire electrolytic cell 1 into two cavities. The cavity where the filter screen frame 62 is located is the overflow cavity, while the cavity on the other side of the partition 2 is the electrolysis chamber. During electrolysis, electrolyte is injected into the electrolysis chamber. When the liquid level is too high, the electrolyte enters the space where the filter screen frame 62 is located through the top of the overflow plate 4, achieving the purpose of overflow.

[0039] If the overflow height needs to be adjusted, the motor 56 will work and drive the first threaded rod 53 to rotate. The first threaded rod 53 will drive the control plate 52 to rise and fall. The control plate 52 will drive the overflow plate 4 to rise and fall. When the overflow plate 4 moves, it will also drive the indicator plate 597 to move. The overflow height can be precisely adjusted by the pointing height of the indicator plate 597 on the scale groove 596.

[0040] When cleaning the bottom area of ​​electrolytic cell 1 is required, all electrolyte must be extracted first. At this time, the water pump 59 will work to extract the electrolyte. During extraction, the electrolyte enters the transfer frame 57 and the second pipe 593 in sequence and is discharged through the corrugated pipe 594. Extracting the electrolyte from below can quickly remove the impurities that have settled at the bottom of the electrolyte, which is beneficial for the user's cleaning work. In addition to being placed at the guide plate 61, if the extracted electrolyte needs to be discharged to the outside, the second threaded rod 595 is rotated. The second threaded rod 595 drives the positioning plate 592 to move, and the positioning plate 592 drives the corrugated pipe 594 to move in and out, thereby adjusting the position of the port of the corrugated pipe 594. When the port of the corrugated pipe 594 is on one side of electrolytic cell 1, the extracted electrolyte can be directly discharged to the outside, thereby enhancing the functionality and flexibility of the device during use.

[0041] The electrolyte overflowing or being drawn by the water pump 59 will be discharged onto the guide plate 61 and eventually enter the filter frame 62. The filter frame 62 will then filter out impurities in the electrolyte. When it is necessary to increase the electrolyte level, the submersible pump 54 can re-draw the filtered electrolyte into the electrolysis chamber, thereby recycling the electrolyte and making reasonable use of resources.

[0042] When cleaning the impurities filtered out inside the filter frame 62, simply insert your hand into the filter frame 62 and pull the auxiliary block 63 to remove the filter frame 62 from the inside of the guide plate 61 and pour out the impurities. After the impurities are cleaned, simply insert the filter frame 62 through the opening on the guide plate 61 and it can be put back into use. This achieves the filtering and cleaning of impurities, avoids the impurities from having an adverse effect on the electrolysis of the workpiece, and also reduces the difficulty of cleaning the impurities.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
