Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of alkaline washing apparatus technology, and more specifically, to an overflow pump alkaline washing apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In alumina production, the decomposition and sedimentation of alumina is an essential process. After processes such as leaching, the slurry is in a solid-liquid mixed state, containing solid red mud particles and sodium aluminate solution. The slurry is fed into a sedimentation tank, where the gravity of the solids separates the sodium aluminate solution from the insoluble silica particles, achieving coarse filtration of the sodium aluminate solution. Then, the coarsely filtered sodium aluminate solution is pumped through the overflow layer outlet into the leaf filter for fine filtration. Some insoluble solid particles remain in the overflow layer, which can be retained in the overflow pump or sedimentation tank, thus affecting the accuracy of subsequent flow control of the overflow pump.

[0003] When removing scale from the overflow pump and settling tank, alkaline solutions can be used. After the alkaline solution comes into contact with the scale particles, the scale particles can gradually dissolve, forming soluble salts that detach from the attached surface. However, when removing scale particles with alkaline solution, the temperature of the alkaline solution needs to be raised to above 90°C. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately control the temperature of existing alkaline washing devices. If the required temperature is not reached, the scale removal effect will be poor. Furthermore, after the alkaline solution passes through the settling tank and overflow pump, it is directly discharged, which not only wastes resources and fails to achieve the effect of recycling, but also causes harm to the environment or water pollution.

[0028] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] Example 1, as Figures 1-4As shown, an overflow pump alkaline washing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated, including a base plate 1, an alkaline solution tank 2, and a settling tank 3. The alkaline solution tank 2 and the settling tank 3 are both mounted on the base plate 1. The device also includes a cleaning assembly, an underflow pump 4, a suction pipe 5, a recovery pipe 6, and a conversion assembly. The cleaning assembly is disposed on the side of the alkaline solution tank 2 and is used to clean the settling tank 3 and the overflow pump to be cleaned. The underflow pump 4 is mounted on the base plate 1. The suction pipe 5 is connected and installed between the underflow pump 4 and the settling tank 3. The recovery pipe 6 is connected and installed at the outlet of the underflow pump 4. The conversion assembly is disposed on the recovery pipe 6 and is used to utilize or recycle the recovered alkaline solution.

[0030] When cleaning the overflow pump and settling tank 3, such as Figure 2 As shown, the alkaline solution is cleaned using a cleaning assembly, which includes an alkaline pump 7, an inlet pipe 8, an outlet pipe 9, an outlet hopper 10, and a reflux assembly. The alkaline pump 7 is mounted on the base plate 1. The inlet pipe 8 is connected between the alkaline tank 2 and the alkaline pump 7. The outlet pipe 9 is connected to the outlet of the alkaline pump 7 and is located above the settling tank 3. Several outlet hoppers 10 are provided, and each outlet hopper 10 is connected to the bottom end of the outlet pipe 9. The reflux assembly is located on the settling tank 3 and is used to allow the alkaline solution after cleaning the alkaline pump 7 to flow into the settling tank 3. The system includes a mounting bracket 11, a cleaning pipe 12, a support ring 13, an outlet pipe 14, and a connecting pipe 15. The mounting bracket 11 is fixedly installed on the side of the settling tank 3. The cleaning pipe 12 is connected to the top of the outlet pipe 9. Two support rings 13 are provided, and each support ring 13 is detachably installed on the side of the mounting bracket 11 by bolts. Two outlet pipes 14 are provided, and each outlet pipe 14 is fixedly installed on one of the two support rings 13. The connecting pipe 15 is located between the two outlet pipes 14, and the two outlet pipes 14 are connected to both sides of the outlet pipe 14.

[0031] Specifically, the overflow pump to be cleaned is installed on the mounting bracket 11, the cleaning pipe 12 is connected to the inlet of the overflow pump, and the connecting pipe 15 is connected to the outlet of the overflow pump. The alkali pump 7 is started, and the alkali pump 7 draws the alkali solution in the alkali tank 2 into the outlet hopper 10 through the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9. The outlet hopper 10 sprays the alkali solution into the settling tank 3. The outlet pipe 14 and several outlet hoppers 10 are all located above the settling tank 3, thereby cleaning the settling tank 3. The alkali solution in the outlet pipe 9 enters the overflow pump through the cleaning pipe 12 for cleaning, and then flows into the settling tank 3 through the connecting pipe 15 and the outlet pipe 14, thus completing the cleaning.

[0032] After cleaning, when reusing the alkaline solution in settling tank 3, the underflow pump 4 can be started. The underflow pump 4 draws the alkaline solution in alkaline tank 2 into rotating pipe 18 through suction pipe 5 and recovery pipe 6. Two support rods 23 are detachably installed on the base plate 1 by bolts, and the recovery pipe 6 is fixedly installed on the two support rods 23. The support rods 23 can support the recovery pipe 6, and then the solution flows into alkaline tank 2 through rotating pipe 18. If reuse is not required and the alkaline solution needs to be recovered, it can be done through a conversion component, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the conversion assembly includes a motor 16, a gear 17, a rotating tube 18, and a gear ring 19. The motor 16 is mounted on the base plate 1. The gear 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 16 via a rotating shaft. The rotating tube 18 is connected to the top of the recovery tube 6. The gear ring 19 is fixedly mounted on the rotating tube 18, and the gear 17 meshes with the gear ring 19. Specifically, when the motor 16 is started, the output end of the motor 16 drives the gear 17 to rotate. The gear 17 drives the gear ring 19, which meshes with it, to rotate. The rotating tube 18 is connected to the recovery tube 6 via a rotary joint. The gear ring 19 then drives the rotating tube 18 to rotate to a position away from the alkali tank 2, thus converting it to another position, so that the alkali can be recovered when it flows out. It should be noted that the connection between the internal pipe and the pump is detachable via a flange, which facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the subsequent pipes and allows for the installation and cleaning of different overflow pumps.

[0033] Working principle: During cleaning and alkali recovery, the overflow pump to be cleaned is first installed on the mounting bracket 11. The cleaning pipe 12 is connected to the inlet of the overflow pump, and then the connecting pipe 15 is connected to the outlet of the overflow pump. The alkali pump 7 is started, and the alkali pump 7 introduces alkali into the outlet hopper 10 and the cleaning pipe 12 through the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9, thereby cleaning the settling tank 3 and the overflow pump. After cleaning, the alkali flows to the settling tank 3 through the connecting pipe 15 and the outlet pipe 14. The solution is placed in the sink 3, and then the underflow pump 4 is started. The underflow pump 4 transports the alkali solution to the rotating pipe 18 through the suction pipe 5 and the recovery pipe 6. Then, it flows to the alkali solution tank 2 through the rotating pipe 18 for subsequent secondary use. If secondary use is not required, the motor 16 is started. The output end of the motor 16 drives the gear 17 to rotate. The gear 17 drives the gear ring 19 that meshes with it to rotate. The gear ring 19 drives the rotating pipe 18 to rotate to other positions in the recovery pipe 6 to release it for recycling.

[0034] In Example 2, when cleaning the settling tank 3 and the overflow pump, the temperature of the alkaline solution needs to reach 90°C. Therefore, a heat preservation component is required to raise and maintain the temperature of the alkaline solution in the alkaline solution tank 2. Figure 4As shown, the insulation component includes a steam coil 20, a gas supply pipe 21, and a temperature sensor 22. The steam coil 20 is fixedly installed inside the alkali tank 2. The gas supply pipe 21 is connected and installed on the side of the steam coil 20. The temperature sensor 22 is installed inside the alkali tank 2. A rubber sealing ring is installed between the steam coil 20 and the alkali tank 2. A cover plate 24 is hinged to the top of the alkali tank 2, and the cover plate 24 has insulation properties. Specifically, steam enters the steam coil 20 through the gas inlet pipe, and the steam coil 20 heats the alkali in the alkali tank 2. The internal temperature sensor 22 measures the temperature in real time, and can cover the cover plate 24 to prevent heat from escaping from the top of the alkali tank 2.

[0035] Working principle: When adjusting the temperature, steam is introduced into the steam coil 20 through the air inlet pipe. The steam coil 20 heats the alkali solution in the alkali solution tank 2. The internal temperature sensor 22 measures the temperature in real time, and the rubber sealing ring ensures that there are no gaps when the steam coil 20 passes through the alkali solution tank 2.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
