Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolysis technology, specifically a novel electrolysis cathode frame. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese invention patent publication number CN221371312U discloses a novel electrolytic anode frame. The anode frame has a vertically arranged partition inside, dividing it into a vibration chamber for inserting a vibrating rod and a filling chamber for loading electrolytic raw materials. In use, the electrolytic raw materials are placed in the filling chamber, and the vibrating rod is placed in the vibration chamber during electrolysis. This effectively eliminates gaps and voids in the filling chamber, ensuring good contact between the scrap copper and the conductive sheet. This patent effectively eliminates gaps and voids in the filling chamber, ensuring good contact between the scrap copper and the conductive sheet, and can effectively reduce the tank pressure.

[0003] Conventional direct electrolysis of scrap copper typically employs a frame electrolysis method, where scrap copper is placed directly into the anode frame as the anode for copper electrolysis. However, most cathode frames lack reinforced support, leading to deviations in frame support and stability, which can easily cause metal fatigue. Furthermore, due to the large amount of impurities in scrap copper, existing equipment lacks filtration effectiveness, resulting in poor crystallization and low purity of the electrolyzed cathode copper plate. This makes production susceptible to fluctuations and is not conducive to large-scale industrial production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing cathode frames, such as low strength and lack of filtration for impurities in waste copper, which hinders large-scale industrial production. Therefore, a novel electrolytic cathode frame is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel electrolytic cathode frame includes a rectangular cathode frame consisting of several facades and a rectangular base. The facades are further divided into two large facades and two small facades. The two large facades are located at the top of the longer section of the rectangular base, and the two small facades are located at the top of the shorter section of the rectangular base. The outer ends of the two large facades and the two small facades are fixedly connected to each other. Rectangular through holes are formed on the surface of each of the two large facades. Triangular reinforcing ribs are fixedly installed on the inner wall of each rectangular through hole. The triangular reinforcing ribs are right-angled triangles, and two triangular reinforcing ribs are provided in each rectangular through hole. Grooves are formed in the center of each of the two small facades. Filter membranes are provided on the outer walls of each of the two large facades and the two small facades.

[0007] Preferably, the two large facades are the front and rear of the cathode plate, the two small facades are the sides of the cathode plate, and the rectangular cathode frame is an integrally formed plastic basket.

[0008] Preferably, the filter membrane material can be any one of polyester, acrylic fiber, or polytetrafluoroethylene, and the filter membrane has a filtration accuracy of 0.45~5μm to ensure that suspended particles and impurities generated during the electrolytic production of waste copper can be effectively isolated.

[0009] Preferably, the opening ratio of the rectangular through holes on the large facade is 60% to 80% to ensure sufficient strength of the cathode frame and contact surface, and to ensure normal copper growth on the cathode plate.

[0010] Preferably, an anti-sway component is installed on the inner wall of the groove, and the anti-sway component is arranged vertically along the inner wall of the groove.

[0011] Preferably, the anti-sway component includes a hemispherical anti-slip pad, and the number of hemispherical anti-slip pads is several, and the several hemispherical anti-slip pads are evenly and equidistantly fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove. The hemispherical anti-slip pads can prevent the gap between the cathode plate and the groove of the cathode frame from causing it to shake during electrolysis or movement, which would cause the electrolytic copper sheet to fall off, thus ensuring the continuity of production.

[0012] Preferably, the hemispherical anti-slip pads are made of high-temperature resistant material and are arranged in an elastic hemispherical shape. The high-temperature resistant material can prevent the hemispherical anti-slip pads from softening and deforming in the high-temperature electrolyte and losing their anti-slip properties on the cathode plate.

[0013] By employing the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a filter membrane to effectively remove suspended particles and impurities generated by the anode copper, eliminating the need for repeated membrane replacements and thus extending the membrane's lifespan. This makes it suitable for large-scale industrial production. Through the application of structural mechanics, the right-angled triangular reinforcing ribs significantly enhance the load-bearing strength of the facade, while preventing the filter membrane from changing its tension in the electrolyte due to its toughness and elasticity, thus avoiding contact with the cathode plate surface and affecting the electrolytic reaction. This also prevents copper from depositing on the filter membrane. This invention features a simple and reasonable structure, is economical and practical, and is easy to use.

[0019] 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.

[0020] The existing cathode frame lacks reinforced support, resulting in poor support and stability. Secondly, due to the large amount of impurities in the scrap copper, the existing device lacks filtration effect, which easily leads to poor crystallization and low purity of the electrolytic cathode copper plate. This makes production susceptible to fluctuations and is not conducive to large-scale industrial production.

[0021] To solve the above problems, refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, a novel electrolytic cathode frame includes a rectangular cathode frame composed of several facades and a rectangular base. The facades are further divided into two large facades 1 and two small facades 2. The two large facades 1 are located at the top of the longer section of the rectangular base, and the two small facades 2 are located at the top of the shorter section of the rectangular base. The outer ends of the two large facades 1 and the two small facades 2 are fixedly connected to each other. Rectangular through holes 3 are respectively opened on the surface of the two large facades 1. Triangular reinforcing ribs 4 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rectangular through holes 3. The triangular reinforcing ribs 4 are right-angled triangles, and two triangular reinforcing ribs 4 are provided in each rectangular through hole 3. The triangular reinforcing ribs 4 can significantly enhance the load-bearing strength of the large facades. To prevent the filter membrane from changing its tension due to its toughness and elasticity in the electrolyte, thus avoiding contact with the cathode plate surface and affecting the electrolytic reaction of the cathode plate, and to prevent copper from being deposited on the filter membrane, thereby extending the service life of the filter membrane and adapting it to large-scale industrial production, grooves 5 are respectively provided in the center of the two small facades 2 for fixing the cathode plate and ensuring that the cathode plate does not contact the two large facades 1. Filter membranes are respectively installed on the outer walls of the two large facades 1 and the two small facades 2 to isolate suspended particles and impurities generated by waste copper during the electrolytic production process. Combined with triangular reinforcing ribs 4, these can prevent the filter membrane from contacting the cathode plate surface and affecting the electrolytic reaction of the cathode plate, and prevent copper from being deposited on the filter membrane.

[0022] The two large facades 1 are the front and rear of the cathode plate, the two small facades 2 are the sides of the cathode plate, and the rectangular cathode frame is a one-piece molded plastic basket.

[0023] The filter membrane material can be any one of polyester, acrylic, or polytetrafluoroethylene, and the filtration accuracy of the filter membrane is 0.45~5μm, which is used to ensure that suspended particles and impurities generated during the electrolytic production of waste copper can be effectively isolated.

[0024] The opening ratio of the rectangular through holes 3 on the main facade 1 is 60%~80% to ensure sufficient strength of the cathode frame and contact surface, and to ensure normal copper growth on the cathode plate.

[0025] In use, the novel electrolytic cathode frame of this utility model places a cathode plate in the cathode frame, allowing the cathode plate to be lowered along the inner wall of the groove 5. The cathode frame is then placed in the anode frame, and scrap copper is placed inside the anode frame for copper electrolysis. The scrap copper is electrolyzed onto the cathode plate through the electrolysis process. Through the application of structural mechanics, the right-angled triangular reinforcing ribs 4 can significantly enhance the load-bearing strength of the facade, while preventing the filter membrane from changing its tension due to its toughness and elasticity in the electrolyte, thus avoiding contact with the surface of the cathode plate and affecting the electrolytic reaction of the cathode plate, and preventing copper from being deposited on the filter membrane.

[0026] Based on Example 1, please refer to the appendix for details. Figure 2 Including the following:

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, anti-sway components are installed on the inner wall of the groove 5, and the anti-sway components are arranged vertically along the inner wall of the groove 5.

[0028] The anti-sway component includes a hemispherical anti-slip pad 51. There are several hemispherical anti-slip pads 51, and these hemispherical anti-slip pads 51 are evenly and equidistantly fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove 5. By setting the hemispherical anti-slip pads 51, when the cathode frame and cathode plate need to be removed after electrolysis, it is possible to prevent the gap between the cathode plate and the groove 5 of the cathode frame from causing them to shake during electrolysis or movement, which would cause the electrolytic copper sheet to fall off, thus ensuring the continuity of production.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the hemispherical anti-slip pads 51 are made of high-temperature resistant material and are designed in an elastic hemispherical shape. The high-temperature resistant material of the hemispherical anti-slip pads 51 can prevent them from softening and deforming in the high-temperature electrolyte and losing their anti-slip properties on the cathode plate.

[0030] In the use of this novel electrolytic cathode frame, when the cathode plate is placed down through the groove 5 of the cathode frame, the gap between the cathode plate and the groove 5 causes it to shake during electrolysis or movement, which is inconvenient for production. Therefore, by setting a hemispherical anti-slip pad 51, when the cathode plate is placed in, the hemispherical anti-slip pad 51 deforms due to its own elasticity when squeezed by the cathode plate, and the outer wall of the hemispherical anti-slip pad 51 is tightly attached to the cathode plate, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the cathode plate from shaking.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
