Detailed Implementation

[0027] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The multi-stage electrolytic copper foil anti-oxidation solution preparation device includes a filter, a storage tank 5, and a stirring tank 7. The storage tank 5 and the stirring tank 7 are connected by a pipeline, and the filter is connected to the storage tank 5 by a pipeline. The storage tank 5 and the stirring tank 7 are provided with a circulation pipeline, which is connected to a main power system consisting of a main ball valve 15 and a main circulation pump 16. The filter includes two stages, with the filtration accuracy of the later stage filter being greater than that of the earlier stage filter. The earlier stage includes a main bag filter 3 and a backup bag filter 20, and the later stage includes a main precision filter 2 and a backup precision filter 21. The main precision filter 2 and the main bag filter 3 are connected to form a main filtration channel, and the backup precision filter 21 is connected to the backup bag filter 20 to form a backup filtration channel. The main bag filter 3 and the backup bag filter 20 are connected to the storage tank 5, and the main precision filter 2 and the backup precision filter 21 are connected to a plate heat exchanger 23, through which the solution is output to the electrolysis process.

[0028] The main bag filter 3 and the standby bag filter 20 have a filtration accuracy of 1μm, while the main precision filter 2 and the standby precision filter 21 have a filtration accuracy of 0.5μm. Each filter housing is made of 316L stainless steel, with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) lining on the inner wall. The filters use polypropylene meltblown felt filter elements. The main and standby filtration channels are switched via a three-way reversing valve. When the differential pressure sensor in the main filtration channel detects a pressure drop ≥0.35MPa, the three-way reversing valve automatically switches to the standby filtration channel. The main filtration channel allows for online filter element replacement with a switching time ≤5 seconds, ensuring continuous filtration.

[0029] The plate heat exchanger 23 adopts a fully welded stainless steel frame structure, with heat exchange plates made of TA2 titanium alloy and coated with polytetrafluoroethylene. The heat exchange area is not less than 1 m². The plate heat exchanger 23 is equipped with a temperature sensor and an electric regulating valve to monitor and adjust the liquid temperature to the set value ±1℃ in real time. For example, after the uniformly mixed liquid is discharged through the main (backup) precision filter, it passes through the plate heat exchanger 23 for temperature adjustment (heating or cooling). The temperature control system automatically adjusts the flow rate of the heat medium / cooling medium according to the process requirements to ensure that the liquid temperature is stable at 30±1℃.

[0030] The inner wall of the storage tank 5 is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene anti-corrosion layer. A drain port and a circulation return interface are located at the bottom, while an inlet and a breather valve 6 are located at the top. The drain port is connected to a drain pipe 4, and the circulation return interface is connected to a return pipe 24. The storage tank 5 has a capacity of 4 m³, sufficient to meet the simultaneous continuous production requirements of four foil-making machines.

[0031] The mixing tank 7 is equipped with a double helical stirring paddle, and a variable frequency speed-regulating stirring motor 9 is installed at the top of the mixing tank. The speed range of the stirring motor 9 is 100~400rpm. The double helical stirring paddle is connected to the stirring motor 9. A liquid level sensor 8 is installed at the top of the mixing tank 7, and an overflow pipe 10 is connected to the upper part. A drain valve 11 is installed at the bottom, and the drain valve 11 is connected to the storage tank 5 through the mixing tank drain pipe 12.

[0032] It also includes a backup power system consisting of a backup ball valve 18 and a backup circulating pump 19. The backup power system is connected in parallel with the main power system and connected to the storage tank 5 through a return pipe 24. Both the main ball valve 15 and the backup ball valve 18 are PTFE-lined ball valves. The rated flow rate of the main circulating pump 16 and the backup circulating pump 19 is 5 m³ / h, and the head is 30 m. In the event of a failure of the main circulating pump 16, the backup circulating pump 19 will automatically start via a pressure sensor, with a switching time of ≤3 seconds to avoid production line interruption.

[0033] The liquid inlet at the top of the storage tank 5 is connected to the storage tank circulation pipe 14. The storage tank circulation pipe 14 branches into two lines, which are connected to the main circulation pump 16 and the standby circulation pump 19 respectively. The main bag filter 3 and the standby bag filter 20 are connected in parallel to a conveying pipe 17, which is connected to the storage tank circulation pipe 14.

[0034] The storage tank circulation pipe 14 is also connected to the stirring tank circulation pipe 13, which is connected to the stirring tank 7 from the top.

[0035] Plate heat exchanger 23 is connected to machine platform conveying pipe 1 for outputting liquid to the electrolysis process. Machine platform conveying pipe 1 is equipped with pressure sensor and electromagnetic flow meter.

[0036] The plate heat exchanger 23 is equipped with bypass pipes 22 at its inlet and outlet. When the plate heat exchanger 23 needs maintenance, it can be switched to the bypass pipes 22 to ensure that the system does not shut down.

[0037] Working principle

[0038] 1. Solution preparation and initial mixing stage

[0039] According to the formula ratio, inject the drug solution of each component into the mixing tank 7, start the stirring motor 9 for premixing, and at the same time turn on the main circulation pump 16 to form an initial "stirring-circulation" loop between the mixing tank 7 and the storage tank 5. The mixing time is calculated according to the concentration of the drug solution (15~20 minutes).

[0040] Filtration and temperature control stages

[0041] The mixed medicine solution enters the main filtration channel to remove particulate impurities. Specifically, it passes through the main (backup) bag filter 3 to remove particulate impurities ≥1 μm, and then through the main (backup) precision filter 2 to remove fine particles ≥0.5 μm, with a filtration efficiency ≥99%. Then it flows into the plate heat exchanger 23 to achieve temperature control, ensuring that the temperature and concentration of the medicine solution are stable (temperature fluctuation ±1℃, concentration fluctuation ±1.5%).

[0042] Delivery and standby phase

[0043] After filtration and temperature control, the liquid medicine is transported to the electrolysis process through the machine's conveying pipeline 1. The pressure sensor provides real-time feedback and adjusts the pump speed to maintain a constant flow rate (4±0.5 m³ / h). When the main circulation pump 16 or the main filtration channel fails, the backup module automatically starts operating, and the control system issues a fault alarm, supporting online maintenance.

[0044] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
