[0002] Chinese invention patent application No. 202211335972.7 discloses an integral copper foil anode plate assembly and its electrolytic copper foil production machine that can improve electrolysis efficiency. It uses a back-pull connection assembly to tightly connect the anode plate and the arc-shaped base plate, which can improve the electrolysis efficiency of the electrode in subsequent electrolysis applications and solve the problem of uneven discharge of the anode plate. The back-pull connection assembly includes an anode stud, one end of which is connected to the outer arc surface of the integral anode plate.
[0003] Back-pull anode bolts are welded to the outer arc surface of the anode plate. Since the production and coating process of the anode plate involves processes such as sandblasting, pickling, and high temperature, if the anode studs are not protected, these processes will cause damage, corrosion, oxidation, etc. to the anode studs, resulting in poor conductivity of the anode studs in subsequent applications.

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. This utility model discloses a protective device for a back-pull type anode bolt structure used in electrolytic copper foil. The device uses a protective sleeve and a cover to form a space for accommodating the connector. Fasteners are fixed inside the protective sleeve. The connector is connected to the fasteners and sealed in the space for protection, thus achieving physical isolation and protection of the connector. Compared with the prior art, this device solves the technical problem that existing back-pull type connectors for electrolytic copper foil are directly exposed to acid, alkali, and high-temperature environments during the production and coating process of the anode plate coating, which easily leads to oxidation, corrosion, and deformation, resulting in poor conductivity and short service life of the connector in subsequent applications.
[0020] 2. The protective sleeve and cover are made of stainless steel, titanium alloy, Hastelloy, copper-nickel alloy, nickel-based alloy or zirconium alloy, which are corrosion resistant and can withstand the strong acid, strong alkali and high temperature environment during the coating process of the anode plate for a long time, ensuring the service life of the protective device itself.
[0021] 3. Multiple water lines are set on the end face of the second end of the protective sleeve, which, together with the arc-shaped base plate, form a multi-layer sealing barrier, greatly improving the sealing performance between the protective sleeve and the connector, effectively preventing external corrosive media from seeping into the interior of the accommodating space, and further extending the service life of the connector.
[0022] 4. The precious metal protective layer coated on the inner wall of the protective sleeve consists of one or more combinations of precious metals such as iridium, ruthenium, and platinum. During the coating process of the anode plate coating, if a small amount of acidic solution seeps into the containment space due to sealing aging or other reasons, the precious metal protective layer can protect the threaded parts of the connectors and fasteners from corrosion, significantly extend the service life of the connectors in subsequent applications, and ensure the conductivity of the connectors in subsequent applications.
[0023] 5. The cross-sectional shape (circular, hexagonal, etc.) and accommodating space of the protective sleeve can be adapted to the specific shape of the connector (such as bolts and screws), and the fasteners (such as nuts and inserts) are also matched accordingly to ensure stable installation and effective sealing.

[0033] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] This utility model provides a protective device for a back-pull anode bolt structure used in electrolytic copper foil. It is designed to cooperate with an arc-shaped base plate to protect the connector mounted on the anode plate from oxidation and corrosion. The protective device includes a protective sleeve, a cover, and fasteners. The protective sleeve has a tubular structure, with its first end sealed to the cover and its second end open for sealing against the arc-shaped base plate. The protective sleeve and cover together form a receiving space whose shape matches the shape of the connector, accommodating the free end of the connector extending from the arc-shaped base plate. The fasteners are placed in the receiving space and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective sleeve. The fasteners have a connection structure matching the free end of the connector for connection. The beneficial effect is that by protecting the connectors, the device solves the technical problem that existing back-pull connector assemblies for electrolytic copper foil are directly exposed to acid, alkali, and high-temperature environments during the anode plate coating process, easily oxidizing, corroding, and deforming, leading to poor conductivity of the anode studs and short service life of the anode plate in subsequent applications.
[0035] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0036] Example:
[0037] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment provides a protective device for a back-pull anode bolt structure for electrolytic copper foil, which is used to seal with an arc-shaped base plate to protect the connectors mounted on the anode plate from oxidation and corrosion. The protective device includes a protective sleeve 1, a fastener 2, and a cover 3.
[0038] The protective sleeve 1 has a tubular structure, with its first end sealed to the cover 3 and its second end having an opening for sealing with the arc-shaped base plate. The protective sleeve 1 and the cover 3 together form an accommodating space, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the connector to accommodate the free end of the connector extending from the arc-shaped base plate. The fastener 2 is placed in the accommodating space and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective sleeve 1. The fastener 2 has a connection structure that matches the free end of the connector for connecting with the free end of the connector.
[0039] During use, one end of the connector is welded to the outer arc surface of the anode plate of the electrolytic copper foil device. The free end of the connector passes through the arc-shaped base plate and extends into the accommodating space of the protective sleeve 1. The fastener 2 is connected to the free end so that the anode plate and the arc-shaped base plate are tightly connected together. The arc-shaped base plate and the protective sleeve 1 are sealed together to seal and protect the free end of the connector.
[0040] In practical use, the protective sleeve 1 and cover 3 can be made of stainless steel, titanium alloy, Hastelloy, copper-nickel alloy, nickel-based alloy, zirconium alloy, or other corrosion-resistant materials. The specific material selection must consider factors such as acidity, alkaliness, and high temperature in the anode production environment for electrolytic copper foil. For example, Hastelloy or zirconium alloy is preferred in strongly acidic environments. The thickness of the protective sleeve 1 is generally between 1-3 mm, with the actual thickness set according to usage requirements.
[0041] The protective sleeve 1 and the cover 3 can be sealed together by welding or threading, so that the first end of the protective sleeve 1 is sealed to the cover 3. The thickness of the protective sleeve 1 and the cover 3 is set according to the actual use requirements.
[0042] In actual production applications, the protective sleeve 1 is a tubular structure, and its cross-sectional shape is not limited, as long as it matches the shape of the connector. The cross-section of the protective sleeve 1 can be circular, hexagonal, octagonal, quadrilateral, or triangular, etc. The protective sleeve 1 can not only protect the connector in high-temperature and acid / alkali environments, but also prevent the connector from colliding with other components, thus achieving physical protection of the outer surface of the connector.
[0043] In some feasible solutions, the distance between the fastener 2 and the cover 3 is a first distance L1, and the distance between the fastener 2 and the second end of the protective sleeve 1 is a second distance L2. The second distance L2 is greater than the first distance L1, and the second distance L2 matches the length of the connector, that is, the second distance L2 is equal to the effective length of the connector to be protected after it extends in. Therefore, the connector can be placed in the accommodating space to the maximum extent and isolated and protected by the protective device.
[0044] See Figure 2As a feasible solution, the inner wall of the protective sleeve 1 is coated with a precious metal protective layer 4. The components of the precious metal protective layer 4 include one or more combinations of precious metals such as iridium, ruthenium, and platinum. The thickness of the precious metal protective layer 4 is 5-30 μm, preferably 10-20 μm, balancing corrosion resistance durability and cost.
[0045] See Figure 3 As a feasible solution, the end face of the second end of the protective sleeve 1, i.e., the position in contact with the arc-shaped base plate, is provided with multiple water lines 5. This effectively prevents moisture from seeping into the accommodating space, thereby increasing the sealing between the protective sleeve 1 and the arc-shaped base plate, reducing the risk of oxidation, corrosion, and deformation of the threads of the connector in high-temperature and acid / alkali environments, and further extending the service life of the connector. The shape of the water lines 5 includes, but is not limited to, serrated, wavy, or concentric circular geometric patterns. The depth of the water lines 5 is preferably 0.1mm to 0.5mm, the width is 0.2mm to 1.0mm, and the spacing between adjacent water lines 5 is 0.5mm to 2.0mm, formed by machining.
[0046] When the connector is a bolt or screw, the fastener 2 corresponds to a nut or screw insert. Furthermore, when the connector is a bolt for a back-pull copper foil electrode, the protective sleeve 1 is cylindrical, that is, the accommodating space is cylindrical, and the fastener 2 is a nut with internal threads.
[0047] During installation, the second opening of the protective sleeve 1 is inserted into the free end of the back-pull type copper foil electrode bolt to be protected. By rotating the protective sleeve, the fasteners fixed to the inner wall of the protective sleeve 1 are engaged with the back-pull type copper foil electrode bolt, thereby tightly connecting the anode plate of the electrolytic copper foil device with the arc-shaped base plate. At this time, the arc-shaped base plate and the water line 5 of the protective sleeve 1 are tightly fitted to form a seal, so that the free end of the bolt and the nut are completely sealed in the accommodating space formed by the protective sleeve 1 and the cover 3.
[0048] By setting up a protective device, the free end of the connector is placed in the protective device and connected to the fastener 2, thus isolating the connector from the high temperature, acid and alkali and humid environment of the outside world; corrosion-resistant materials are selected for the protective sleeve 1, fastener 2 and cover 3; multiple water lines 5 are set on the end face of the second end of the protective sleeve 1 to improve the sealing between the protective sleeve 1 and the arc-shaped base plate; a precious metal protective layer 4 is coated inside the protective sleeve 1 to prevent the threads of the connector from oxidizing, corroding and deforming, so that the conductivity of the connector remains in good condition in subsequent use, which greatly improves the service life of the connector.
