Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolyte tank technology, specifically a plastic electrolyte tank with automatic drainage function. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing field of plastic electrolyte tank electrolysis technology, electrolyte draining control has always been a critical factor affecting the stability and efficiency of the electrolysis process. Traditional methods of draining plastic electrolyte tanks mostly rely on manual operation. Operators need to constantly monitor the changes in the electrolyte during the electrolysis reaction and judge when to drain the electrolyte based on experience.

[0003] However, existing plastic electrolyte tanks with automatic drainage functions still have some drawbacks in practical use: the electrolysis reaction is a dynamic process, and the rate and amount of gas production fluctuate with changes in reaction conditions. Manual operation makes it difficult to promptly and accurately detect changes in gas production and make corresponding drainage decisions. When the electrolysis reaction is more vigorous, the gas production rate accelerates. If the operator fails to detect this in time and open the drainage valve, the electrolyte will rapidly accumulate in the tank, causing the liquid level to rise. Once the liquid level exceeds the safety threshold, the electrolyte is prone to overflowing the electrolyte tank, not only wasting the electrolyte but also potentially causing pollution and damage to the surrounding environment and equipment.

[0004] On the other hand, manual operation is easily affected by the operator's subjective factors and external environment. For example, operators may fail to perform the draining operation on time due to fatigue, negligence, or lack of concentration; or, under different working environments, operators' judgment criteria for the timing of draining may differ, leading to inconsistencies in the draining operation. These problems can affect the stability and reliability of the electrolysis process, reduce electrolysis efficiency, and increase production costs.

[0005] To address this issue, we designed a plastic electrolyte tank with an automatic drainage function. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plastic electrolyte tank with an automatic draining function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a plastic electrolyte tank with automatic drainage function, including an electrolyte tank body. A gas collection chamber and an energy storage chamber are fixedly connected to the top of the electrolyte tank body. A gas guide pipe is provided through the top wall of the electrolyte tank body. The top of the gas guide pipe extends into the gas collection chamber. A gas collecting pipe is provided through the inner side wall of the gas collection chamber. One end of the gas collecting pipe extends into the energy storage chamber and is connected to an air bladder. A valve is provided on one side wall of the electrolyte tank body. A rotatable rotating shaft is provided inside the valve. A driving component is provided between the air bladder and the valve.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive shaft that penetrates the top wall of the valve and is fixedly installed on the top surface of the rotating shaft. The drive shaft is embedded in the side wall of the electrolyte tank body, and the top end of the drive shaft penetrates the energy storage chamber and extends into the energy storage chamber. A gear is fixedly connected to the top end of the drive shaft. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the end of the airbag away from the gas collecting pipe. A rack is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the airbag. Both the connecting rod and the rack are slidably installed on the bottom wall of the energy storage chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the large end of the gas collecting pipe is located inside the energy storage chamber, and the large end of the gas collecting pipe is fixedly connected to a gas delivery pipe, with the end of the gas delivery pipe away from the gas collecting pipe fixedly installed on the airbag.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the energy storage cavity, and the connecting rod is slidably installed inside the guide rail, with the connecting rod slidably connected to the inner side wall of the guide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, a movable baffle is slidably connected to the small end of the gas collecting pipe, and a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the small end of the gas collecting pipe away from the movable baffle. A return spring is fixedly connected between the movable baffle and the fixed frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a rigid limiting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the energy storage cavity, and the rigid limiting frame covers the outside of the airbag.

[0013] Furthermore, the air duct extends in a spiral shape.

[0014] Furthermore, the airbag is made of fluororubber.

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

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the gas generated by the electrolysis reaction enters the gas collection chamber and pressurizes the chamber. When the gas pressure reaches a preset threshold, the subsequent liquid discharge action can be automatically triggered. This automatic response mechanism based on pressure change does not require manual intervention and can control the liquid discharge operation in a timely and accurate manner according to the amount of gas generated during the electrolysis reaction. It effectively avoids the problem of electrolyte accumulation or overflow caused by untimely manual operation and improves the automation level and operating efficiency of the electrolysis process.

[0017] 2. In this invention, when the liquid level drops to a safe threshold, the valve automatically resets and closes, completing a single drainage cycle. This safe threshold reset mechanism effectively prevents excessive electrolyte discharge, avoiding problems such as abnormal electrolytic reactions or equipment damage caused by excessively low liquid levels, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of the electrolysis process. Simultaneously, this mechanism also prevents safety accidents caused by human error or negligence, improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0018] 3. In this invention, the opening of the drain port is positively correlated with the gas pressure, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the draining speed based on the actual gas pressure. When the gas pressure is high, the drain port opening increases, accelerating the electrolyte discharge and rapidly lowering the tank level. Conversely, when the gas pressure decreases, the drain port opening decreases accordingly, preventing excessive electrolyte discharge. This adaptive draining control method better adapts to changes in the gas generation rate during the electrolysis reaction, ensuring the tank level remains within a safe range and improving the accuracy and stability of the draining process.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a plastic electrolyte tank with automatic drainage function, including an electrolyte tank body 1, a gas collection chamber 2 and an energy storage chamber 3 fixedly connected to the top of the electrolyte tank body 1, a gas guide pipe 4 penetrating through the inner top wall of the electrolyte tank body 1, the top of the gas guide pipe 4 extending into the gas collection chamber 2, a gas collecting pipe 5 penetrating through the inner side wall of the gas collection chamber 2, one end of the gas collecting pipe 5 extending into the energy storage chamber 3 and connected to an air bag 6, a valve 7 provided on one side wall of the electrolyte tank body 1, a rotatable rotating shaft 8 provided inside the valve 7, and a driving component provided between the air bag 6 and the valve 7.

[0027] In practice, the gas generated by the electrolysis reaction enters the gas collection chamber 2 through the gas guide pipe 4. The chamber is gradually pressurized. When the gas pressure reaches the preset threshold, the gas bag 6 expands, the rotating shaft 8 inside the valve 7 rotates, and the drain port opens. The opening degree is positively correlated with the gas pressure. The electrolyte flows out through the drain port under the action of gravity. At the same time, the gas bag 6 gradually contracts due to the pressure release, and the opening degree of the drain port decreases. When the liquid level drops to the safety threshold, the valve 7 resets and closes, completing a single drain cycle.

[0028] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly includes a drive shaft 9, which passes through the top wall of the valve 7 and is fixedly installed on the top surface of the rotating shaft 8. The drive shaft 9 is embedded in the side wall of the electrolyte tank body 1, and the top end of the drive shaft 9 passes through the energy storage chamber 3 and extends into the energy storage chamber 3. A gear 10 is fixedly connected to the top end of the drive shaft 9. A connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the air bag 6 away from the gas collecting pipe 5. A rack 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 11 away from the air bag 6. The connecting rod 11 and the rack 12 are both slidably installed on the bottom wall of the energy storage chamber 3. The large end of the gas collecting pipe 5 is located in the energy storage chamber 3, and a gas delivery pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the large end of the gas collecting pipe 5. The end of the gas delivery pipe 13 away from the gas collecting pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the air bag 6. A movable baffle 15 is slidably connected to the small end of the gas collecting pipe 5. A fixed frame 16 is fixedly connected to the small end of the gas collecting pipe 5 away from the movable baffle 15. A return spring 17 is fixedly connected between the movable baffle 15 and the fixed frame 16.

[0029] The gas generated by the electrolysis reaction enters the gas collection chamber 2 through the gas guide pipe 4. The chamber is gradually pressurized. When the gas pressure reaches the preset threshold, the gas pressure can overcome the tension of the reset spring 17 and push the movable baffle 15. The gas flows into the air bag 6 from the large end of the gas collection pipe 5, causing the air bag 6 to expand. This, in turn, pushes the connecting rod 11 to drive the rack 12 to move within the energy storage chamber 3. Because the gear 10 and the rack 12 mesh with each other, the movement of the rack 12 drives the gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission shaft 9, which is fixedly connected to the shaft of the gear 10, to rotate. The rotating shaft 8 inside the valve 7 rotates, and the drain port opens. The opening degree is positively correlated with the gas pressure. The electrolyte flows out through the drain port under the action of gravity. At the same time, the air bag 6 gradually contracts due to the pressure release, which in turn drives the gear 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, reducing the opening degree of the drain port. When the liquid level drops to the safety threshold, the valve 7 resets and closes, completing a single drain cycle.

[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 A guide rail 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the energy storage chamber 3. The connecting rod 11 is slidably installed in the guide rail 14. The connecting rod 11 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the guide rail 14. The guide rail 14 and the connecting rod 11 cooperate with each other to effectively limit the movement direction of the connecting rod 11, improve the stability and accuracy of the movement of the connecting rod 11, reduce friction, reduce the wear of components, and provide a strong guarantee for the reliable operation of the transmission components.

[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 A rigid limiting frame 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the energy storage chamber 3. The rigid limiting frame 18 covers the outside of the airbag 6. By setting the rigid limiting frame 18 made of plastic material, the maximum expansion volume of the airbag 6 is limited to avoid mechanical jamming. The air guide tube 4 extends in a spiral shape. By setting the spiral air guide tube 4, the length of the gas flow path is increased, and liquid splashing into the gas collection chamber 2 is prevented. The airbag 6 is made of fluororubber, which is resistant to electrolyte corrosion and has an adjustable elastic modulus.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] The gas generated by the electrolysis reaction enters the gas collection chamber 2 through the gas guide pipe 4. The chamber is gradually pressurized. When the gas pressure reaches the preset threshold, the gas pressure can overcome the tension of the reset spring 17 and push the movable baffle 15. The gas flows into the air bag 6 from the large end of the gas collection pipe 5, causing the air bag 6 to expand. This, in turn, pushes the connecting rod 11 to drive the rack 12 to move within the energy storage chamber 3. Because the gear 10 and the rack 12 mesh with each other, the movement of the rack 12 drives the gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission shaft 9, which is fixedly connected to the shaft of the gear 10, to rotate. The rotating shaft 8 inside the valve 7 rotates, and the drain port opens. The opening degree is positively correlated with the gas pressure. The electrolyte flows out through the drain port under the action of gravity. At the same time, the air bag 6 gradually contracts due to the pressure release, which in turn drives the gear 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, reducing the opening degree of the drain port. When the liquid level drops to the safety threshold, the valve 7 resets and closes, completing a single drain cycle.
