Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal smelting, and more specifically, it relates to a cathode suspension rod for metal smelting. Background Technology
[0002] As an important electrode in the electrolysis process, the cathode suspension rod is immersed in an electrolyte containing target metal ions. During the electrolysis process, a reduction reaction occurs on the surface of the suspension rod, and the metal ions in the solution gain electrons on the surface of the suspension rod, thereby precipitating and depositing on the suspension rod.
[0003] After metal ions gain electrons on the surface of the suspension rod, they are released and deposited, forming a certain binding force with the surface of the suspension rod. This binding force includes metal bond force, adsorption force, etc. Simply turning off the power is not enough to overcome this binding force and make the metal separate automatically. Therefore, people need to use scrapers or other means to scrape the metal off the surface of the suspension rod. In order to ensure the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolytic cell, there are usually multiple suspension rods, so the amount of scraping work is relatively large. Moreover, the space inside the electrolytic cell is small and inconvenient for people to operate.
[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cathode suspension rod for metal smelting.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a cathode suspension rod for metal smelting, comprising a shell and a conductive rod, wherein a connecting post is provided between the conductive rod and the shell, and two metal shells with semi-annular cross sections are provided outside the conductive rod, the two metal shells being fitted together to form a protective sleeve covering the conductive rod, each of the two metal shells being provided with a semi-sleeve, the center of the semi-sleeve being through which the connecting post passes, the connecting post being slidably connected to a fixing sleeve, the inner wall of the fixing sleeve being provided with an internal thread, the outer wall of the semi-sleeve being provided with an external thread, and the fixing sleeve being used to fit onto the two fitted semi-sleeves.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that both ends of the metal shell are provided with pre-fixing components.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the pre-fixing member is a clamp plate rotatably connected to the metal shell, and both clamp plates are provided with elastic members. The elastic members are used to provide the clamp plates with a force for rotation in the direction of the conductive rod. Both ends of the conductive rod are provided with embedding holes, and the side of the clamp plate facing the conductive rod is provided with a protrusion for embedding into the embedding hole.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: two rotating seats are provided at both ends of the metal shell, the clamping plate is rotatably connected between the two rotating seats, the elastic element is a torsion spring, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively clamped to the rotating seats and the clamping plate.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: one end of the clamping plate is provided with a bent portion, and the bent portion is bent away from the direction of the metal shell.
[0011] The present invention is further provided with a fixing strip on the side of the metal shell facing away from the semi-sleeve, and the fixing strip has a through hole.
[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] When the conductive rod is energized, the metal particles precipitated from the electrolyte will adhere to the protective sleeve. After the electrolysis process is completed, the two metal shells can be removed from the conductive rod, and then the metal particles on the metal shells can be peeled off mechanically. The above settings allow the process of peeling off the metal particles to be carried out outside the electrolytic cell, thus allowing more space around them. Furthermore, the placement and angle of the metal shells can be controlled by the user, making it easier to peel off the metal particles. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] Cathode suspension rods for metal smelting, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the device includes a shell 1 and a conductive rod 2. Two connecting posts 3 are provided between the conductive rod 2 and the shell 1. A hook is fixedly connected to the side of the shell 1 facing away from the conductive rod 2. The conductive rod 2 is placed horizontally in the electrolytic cell. The conductive rod 2 is energized by connecting an electric wire to one end of it. Two semi-circular metal shells 4 are provided around the conductive rod 2. The two metal shells 4 fit together to form a protective sleeve covering the conductive rod 2. The two metal shells 4 are detachable from the conductive rod 2. When the conductive rod 2 is energized, metal particles precipitated from the electrolyte adhere to the protective sleeve. After the electrolysis process, the two metal shells 4 can be removed from the conductive rod 2, and the metal particles can be mechanically peeled off the metal shells 4. This design allows the removal of metal particles to be carried out outside the electrolytic cell. This allows for more surrounding space, and the placement and angle of the metal shell 4 can be controlled by the user, facilitating the removal of metal particles. Each of the two metal shells 4 is equipped with a half-sleeve 5, the center of which is through which the connecting post 3 passes. The connecting post 3 is slidably connected to a fixing sleeve 6, which can rotate on the connecting post 3. The inner wall of the fixing sleeve 6 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the half-sleeve 5 is provided with an external thread. The fixing sleeve 6 is used to fit onto the two mutually fitting half-sleeves 5. When assembling the two metal shells 4, the two half-sleeves 5 are fastened onto the conductive rod 2. At this time, the two half-sleeves 5 are fastened onto the connecting post 3. Then, the fixing sleeve 6 is slidably fitted onto the two half-sleeves 5, and the fixing sleeve 6 is rotated so that the fixing sleeve 6 is threadedly connected to the two half-sleeves 5. This method facilitates the connection and assembly of the two metal shells 4.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fixing strip 11 is also provided on the side of the metal shell 4 facing away from the half sleeve 5. The fixing strip 11 has through holes. After the half sleeves 5 on the two metal shells 4 are fixed, the two fixing strips 11 on the two metal shells 4 approach each other and the two through holes on the two fixing strips 11 are aligned with each other. After the bolt is passed through the two fixing strips 11, the nuts on the bolts are tightened so that the two fixing strips 11 fit together. This arrangement makes the two metal shells 4 fit tightly with the conductive rod 2 as a whole, ensuring the conductivity between the metal shells 4 and the conductive rod 2.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, both ends of the metal shell 4 are provided with pre-fixing components. The pre-fixing components can achieve initial positioning between the metal shell 4 and the conductive rod 2, so that the metal shell 4 will not detach from the conductive rod 2. This setting facilitates the installation of the fixing sleeve 6. The pre-fixing components are clamping plates 7 rotatably connected to the metal shell 4. Both clamping plates 7 are provided with elastic elements, which are used to provide a force for the clamping plates 7 to rotate in the direction of the conductive rod 2. Both ends of the conductive rod 2 are provided with embedding holes 8. The side of the clamping plate 7 facing the conductive rod 2 is provided with a protrusion 9 for embedding into the embedding hole 8. When people cover the outer wall of the conductive rod 2 with the metal shell 4, the clamping of the two clamping plates 7 makes it difficult for the metal shell 4 to detach from the conductive rod 2. Adjust the position of the metal shell 4 on the conductive rod 2 until the protrusions 9 on both clamping plates 7 are embedded in the holes 8, indicating that the position of the metal shell 4 is in place. At this time, the inner wall of the half sleeve 5 is close to the connecting column 3. Both ends of the metal shell 4 are provided with two rotating seats 10. The clamping plate 7 is rotatably connected between the two rotating seats 10. The elastic element is a torsion spring. The two ends of the torsion spring are respectively clamped on the rotating seats 10 and the clamping plate 7. The torsion spring provides the clamping plate 7 with the force to clamp the conductive rod 2. One end of the clamping plate 7 is provided with a bent part. The bent part is bent away from the direction of the metal shell 4. By pressing the bent part, the end of the clamping plate 7 that is in contact with the conductive rod 2 can be separated from the conductive rod 2, which facilitates the disassembly of the metal shell 4.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
