Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tubular electrolytic cells, and in particular to an electrolytic cell assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] During voyages, ships need to ballast and discharge ballast. To protect the global marine ecosystem, the Ballast Water Management Convention initiated by the International Maritime Organization stipulates that ships must treat the ballast water discharged into the sea to prevent the invasion of alien species and the spread of pathogens caused by ballast water discharge, thereby protecting the environment and human health. Electrolysis of seawater to produce chlorine is widely used in ballast water treatment devices. The generated sodium hypochlorite kills microorganisms in the ballast water, resulting in high ballast water treatment efficiency.

[0003] The reaction equipment for producing chlorine from seawater includes plate electrolyzers and shell-and-tube electrolyzers. The assembly of shell-and-tube electrolyzers includes the assembly of electrode groups and shells. There are many models of shell-and-tube electrolyzers. The electrode groups and shells of larger models are relatively heavy, making it difficult for one or two people to assemble them easily. This can even pose a high safety hazard, resulting in low production efficiency and high labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the electrode assembly and shell of the tubular electrolytic cell in the prior art are relatively heavy and cannot be easily assembled, and to propose an electrolytic cell assembly device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An electrolytic cell assembly device includes a first support and a second support detachably connected by a fastener, and further includes: a pair of first supports for supporting an electrode assembly, slidably disposed on the first support facing each other; and a pair of second supports for supporting a tube shell, slidably disposed on the second support facing each other. Both the pair of first supports and the pair of second supports form a V-shaped channel. A fixing seat is fixedly disposed at the end of the second support away from the first support, and one end of the tube shell abuts against the inner wall of the fixing seat. A traction part is disposed on the second support, and the traction end of the traction part passes through the fixing seat and the tube shell in sequence and is detachably connected to one end of the electrode assembly. When the traction part is working, the electrode assembly slides into the tube shell along the V-shaped channel.

[0007] To facilitate pulling the electrode assembly into the casing, preferably, the traction unit includes a winch fixedly mounted on the second bracket. A pulley system is fixedly mounted on one end of the second bracket near the fixed seat. A steel wire rope is wound around the working end of the winch. A central hole is provided on the fixed seat. The free end of the steel wire rope passes through the central hole and the casing and is detachably connected to one end of the electrode assembly.

[0008] To avoid friction between the electrode assembly and the first support, preferably, an extension plate is slidably provided on each of the support surfaces of the first support, and a slider is fixedly provided at the bottom of the extension plate. A groove is provided on the support surface of the first support, and the slider is slidably disposed in the groove, and the groove extends along the long side of the first support towards the second bracket.

[0009] To facilitate adjustment of the distance between a pair of first supports, preferably, two sets of first slide rails are fixedly installed on the first bracket, a first mounting seat is slidably installed on the first slide rail, a first base plate is fixedly installed on the top of the first mounting seat, a first fixing plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the first support, the first fixing plate is fixedly connected to the first base plate, and a first bidirectional screw is rotatably installed on the first bracket, a pair of first supports are respectively threaded to both ends of the first bidirectional screw, and a first handwheel is fixedly installed at one end of the first bidirectional screw.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing base has at least one through hole, and one end of the tube shell is fixedly connected to the fixing base by bolts.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an electrolytic cell assembly device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This electrolytic cell assembly device supports the electrode assembly by setting a pair of opposing sliding first supports on the first support. The tube shell is supported and fixed on the second support by the second support and the fixing seat. Then, the traction unit is activated to pull the electrode assembly from the first support into the tube shell.

[0023] Example:

[0024] Reference Figures 1-4 An electrolytic cell assembly device includes a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2 detachably connected by fasteners. The fasteners can be straps or clamps; here, a connecting plate is preferred. The two ends of the connecting plate are detachably connected to the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 respectively, preventing relative displacement between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 during use and affecting normal operation. Furthermore, to facilitate movement of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, casters with self-locking properties are connected to the bottom of both the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, improving usability. The device also includes a pair of first supports 501 for supporting an electrode assembly 9, slidably disposed opposite to each other. On the bracket 1, that is, during use, a pair of first supports 501 can move closer or further apart to support electrode groups 9 of different diameters, and also make the electrode groups 9 coaxial with the shell 10, facilitating assembly. A pair of second supports 601 for supporting the shell 10 are slidably mounted on the second bracket 2. Similarly, the pair of second supports 601 can move closer or further apart to support the shell 10 of different diameters. At the same time, after the shell 10 is placed on the pair of second supports 601, the relative positions of the pair of first supports 501 are adjusted to make the electrode groups 9 coaxial with the shell 10, facilitating the installation of the electrode groups 9 into the shell 10. The design enhances usability by combining the first supports 501 and the second supports 601, which form a V-shaped channel. This means the supporting surfaces of the two first supports 501 form an approximate V-shaped channel, effectively supporting the electrode assembly 9 and preventing it from falling off. Similarly, the supporting surfaces of the two second supports 601 form an approximate V-shaped channel, effectively supporting the tube shell 10 and improving usability. A fixing seat 201 is fixedly installed at the end of the second support 2 away from the first support 1, connecting the end of the tube shell 10 away from the electrode assembly 9 to the fixing seat. The inner walls of the base 201 abut against each other, and at least one through hole 203 is provided on the base 201. Here, we prefer two through holes 203. One end of the tube shell 10 is fixedly connected to the base 201 by bolts. In use, the bolts are passed through the through holes 203 and then threadedly connected to the threaded holes on the flange of the tube shell 10 to fix the tube shell 10 to the base 201. The second bracket 2 is provided with a traction part. The traction end of the traction part passes through the base 201 and the tube shell 10 in sequence and is detached and connected to one end of the electrode group 9. When the traction part is working, the electrode group 9 can be pulled into the tube shell 10 to assemble the electrode group 9 into the tube shell 10.

[0025] In use, the electrode assembly 9 can be supported by a pair of opposing sliding first supports 501 on the first support 1. The tube shell 10 is supported and fixed on the second support 2 by the second support 601 and the fixing seat 201. Then, the traction unit is activated to pull the electrode assembly 9 from the first support 501 into the tube shell 10. This greatly simplifies the assembly process of the tubular electrolytic cell and reduces the assembly work that was done by multiple people to one person. This greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the electrolytic cell, improves the assembly process of the electrolytic cell, and reduces the labor cost in the production assembly process.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 Here, the traction unit is designed with a winch 8 fixedly mounted on the second bracket 2. The winch 8 is existing technology. A pulley block 801 is fixedly mounted on one end of the second bracket 2 near the fixed base 201. A steel wire rope 802 is wound around the working end of the winch 8. A central hole 202 is provided on the fixed base 201. The free end of the steel wire rope 802 passes over the pulley block 801, then through the central hole 202 and the tube shell 10, and is detached and connected to one end of the electrode group 9. The winch 8 is existing technology. Start the winch. After step 8, the wire rope 802 can be wound up, and then the electrode assembly 9 can be pulled into the tube shell 10 to facilitate the assembly of the tubular electrolytic cell. In use, the free end of the wire rope 802 is passed through the center hole 202 on the fixed base 201 and into the tube shell 10, and then connected to the end of the electrode assembly 9 near the tube shell 10 by a hook. Then, the winch 8 is started to wind up the wire rope 802, and the electrode assembly 9 can be pulled from the first support 501 into the tube shell 10 to realize the installation of the electrolytic cell.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 An extension plate 7 is slidably disposed on the support surface of a pair of first supports 501. The electrode assembly 9 is placed on the two extension plates 7. A slider 701 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the extension plate 7. A groove 502 is formed on the support surface of the first support 501. The effective length of the extension plate 7 is greater than the distance between the first support 501 and the second support 601. The slider 701 is slidably disposed in the groove 502, and the groove 502 extends along the long side of the first support 501 toward the second support 2. The groove 502 has an inverted T-shaped structure, which can prevent the extension plate 7 from flipping relative to the corresponding first support 501, thus improving safety. In use, by sliding the extension plate 7 on the support surface of the first support 501, when the electrode assembly 9 is pulled into the tube shell 10, the extension plate 7 can slide together with it toward the tube shell 10, reducing the friction between the electrode assembly 9 and the first support 501 in the initial stage and improving the performance.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Two sets of first slide rails 302 are fixedly installed on the first bracket 1. The two sets of first slide rails 302 are symmetrically distributed. A first mounting seat 301 is slidably installed on the first slide rail 302. A first base plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the first mounting seat 301. A first fixing plate 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the first support 501. The first fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the first base plate 3. Here, we prefer to use bolts to fix the first fixing plate 5 to the first base plate 3. A first bidirectional screw 303 is rotatably installed on the first bracket 1. A pair of first supports 501 are respectively threaded to both ends of the first bidirectional screw 303. A first handwheel 304 is fixedly installed at one end of the first bidirectional screw 303. In use, by rotating the first bidirectional screw 303 with the first handwheel 304, the pair of first supports 501 can be driven to move closer or further apart, so as to adjust the position of the electrode group 9 and ensure that the electrode group 9 is coaxial with the tube shell 10.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Two sets of second slide rails 402 are fixedly installed on the second bracket 2. The two sets of second slide rails 402 are preferably symmetrically distributed. A second mounting base 401 is slidably installed on the second slide rail 402. A second base plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the second mounting base 401. A second fixing plate 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the second support 601. The second fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the second base plate 4. Here, it is preferred that the second fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the second base plate 4 with bolts. A second bidirectional screw 403 is rotatably installed on the second bracket 2. A pair of second supports 601 are respectively threaded to both ends of the second bidirectional screw 403. A second handwheel 404 is fixedly installed at one end of the second bidirectional screw 403. In use, the second handwheel 404 drives the second bidirectional screw 403 to rotate, which can drive the pair of second supports 601 to move closer or further apart, so as to support the tube shell 10 of different diameters and make the axis of the tube shell 10 coincide with the axis of the central hole 202, thereby improving the use effect.
