Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of distillation and purification technology, and in particular to a lithium metal distillation and purification device based on waste heat recovery. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy, metallurgy, aerospace, and glass manufacturing industries, the demand for lithium is increasing year by year. This requires improving the purification efficiency and output of lithium metal while reducing production costs. Traditional lithium metal purification mainly uses distillation, which utilizes the different vapor pressures of various metal elements at a certain temperature to separate impurity elements from lithium metal. However, this process consumes a lot of heat energy, and a large amount of high-temperature gas waste heat is generated during the operation of the distillation device. If it is directly discharged, it will lead to resource waste and increase production costs. In addition, there is a similar problem of underutilization of waste heat in the lithium mining process. Some existing lithium mining waste heat recovery systems only recover waste heat from flue gas, ignoring the waste heat resources present in the lithium ore itself, resulting in low heat recovery efficiency.

[0003] During distillation, steam is generated inside. If the distillation chamber is not sealed, the steam will escape, causing material loss, affecting distillation efficiency and yield, and reducing the purity of the distilled product. For example, in brewing, if the distillation chamber is not sealed, alcohol vapor will leak out, reducing the yield of the wine and affecting its quality. Current technology uses permanent magnet coupling to achieve non-contact transmission, with no physical contact between the moving and stationary rings. Silicone sealant can be used to enhance the sealing. However, this sealing method is prone to spillage when adding liquid lithium metal, resulting in waste of lithium metal and increasing distillation costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a lithium metal distillation and purification device based on waste heat recovery, which aims to improve the problem that the sealing method in the prior art is prone to spillage when adding liquid lithium metal, thus causing waste of lithium metal and increasing distillation costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a lithium metal distillation purification device based on waste heat recovery, including a distillation tank, the inner wall of which is provided with a sealing mechanism for feeding and sealing the distillation tank, and a collection mechanism provided on the right side of the distillation tank for collecting the purified lithium metal.

[0006] The sealing mechanism includes a cover plate, the right side of which is rotatably connected to the front side of the distillation tank. A rotating blade is fixedly connected to the right front end of the cover plate, and a handle is fixedly connected to the left front end of the cover plate. A heating inclined plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the distillation tank. A pulling assembly is provided on the front side of the inner wall of the cover plate, and a connecting assembly is provided on the rear side of the cover plate. A moving assembly is provided at the bottom of the pulling assembly.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The collection mechanism includes a guide plate, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the distillation tank. A hollow groove is provided on the top right side of the distillation tank. A hollow inclined plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow groove. A cooling box is fixedly connected to the right side of the hollow inclined plate. A condensation component is provided on the inner wall of the cooling box. A collection component is provided on the front side of the cooling box.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The pulling assembly includes a fixed column, the front end of which is fixedly connected to the middle of the front side of the inner wall of the distillation tank, and the rear end of which is rotatably connected to a first wheel, the outer wall of which is provided with a pull rope.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The connecting assembly includes a fixing plate, the front side of which is fixedly connected to the right front end of the inner wall of the distillation tank, a connecting column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate, and a rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting column.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The moving component includes a triangular plate, the top left side of which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pull rope, and multiple rotating balls are rotatably connected to the front right side of the inner wall of the distillation tank.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The condensation assembly includes two condensation plates, the outer walls of which are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the cooling box, and a guide groove is provided on the top of the condensation plates.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The collection assembly includes a collection box, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cooling box, and a handle is fixedly connected to the front side of the collection box.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The front end of the pull rope is fixedly connected to the rear right end of the cover plate, and the right side of the triangular plate is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating ball.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, when lithium metal is poured into the distillation tank, the first handle is pulled, which drives the cover plate to rotate. The cover plate pulls the pull rope, and the pull rope, under the action of the second and first rotating wheels, pulls the triangular plate. The triangular plate slides upward along the inner wall of the distillation tank. The rotating ball reduces the friction between the triangular plate and the inner wall, improving the sliding efficiency. Then, lithium metal is poured in. The lithium metal flows along the inclined surface of the triangular plate into the heating inclined plate for distillation and purification. The gravity of the triangular plate tightens the pull rope, making the cover plate tightly close the distillation tank, thus achieving a seal on the distillation tank, reducing contamination of the lithium metal, and facilitating the addition of lithium metal, thereby improving the purification efficiency.

[0023] 2. In this invention, the evaporated lithium metal vapor floats upward and moves to the hollow trough under the action of the guide plate. It then enters the cooling box along the hollow inclined plate. The cooling box cools the lithium metal, causing it to turn into liquid and drip onto the top of the condensing plate. It then flows to the collection box under the guidance of the guide trough. The condensing plate can extend the condensation path, allowing the lithium metal to be fully condensed. This achieves the purification and collection of lithium metal, optimizes the purification path, reduces the condensation time, and thus improves the condensation efficiency.

[0042] Working principle: When lithium metal needs to be poured into the distillation tank 1, pull handle 202.

Under the action of the rotating wheel 2063 and the rotating wheel 2052, the pull rope 2051 will pull the triangular plate 2071, causing the triangular plate 2071 to slide upward along the inner wall of the distillation tank 1. The rotating ball 2072 can reduce the contact between the triangular plate 2071 and the distillation tank 1. The friction of the inner wall improves the sliding efficiency of the triangular plate 2071. When lithium metal is poured in, it flows along the inclined surface of the triangular plate 2071 into the heating inclined plate 204, where it is distilled and purified. The gravity of the triangular plate 2071 can tighten the pull rope 2051, allowing the cover plate 201 to seal the distillation tank 1, thus reducing contamination of the lithium metal and facilitating the addition of lithium metal, thereby improving the purification efficiency.

[0043] The evaporated lithium metal vapor floats upward and, under the action of the guide plate 301, moves into the hollow groove 302, and then enters the interior of the cooling box 304 along the hollow inclined plate 303. The cooling box 304 can cool the lithium metal. The cooled lithium metal will turn into liquid and drip onto the top of the condenser plate 3051, and then flow into the collection box 3061 under the guidance of the guide groove 3052. The presence of the condenser plate 3051 can extend the condensation path of the lithium metal, thereby enabling the lithium metal to be fully condensed, realizing the purification and collection of lithium metal, optimizing the purification path, reducing condensation time, and thus improving condensation efficiency.
