Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal indium processing technology, and in particular to a washing and drying device for products prepared by electrolysis of high-purity indium oxide powder. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial systems, indium, as a rare and dispersed metal, plays an indispensable role in many key fields such as electronic information, solar cells, semiconductor manufacturing, and aerospace due to its unique physicochemical properties. As the demand for high-performance and high-precision products continues to rise across industries, the requirements for the purity and quality of indium are becoming increasingly stringent. In the processing of indium, the washing and drying processes are directly related to the final quality of the product.

[0003] Existing technologies have the following problems: Taking the common immersion rinsing method as an example, this method relies solely on the immersion of liquid and the rinsing action of water flow, which is insufficient to effectively remove impurities tightly adhering to the surface of indium metal. These impurities include metal oxides formed during smelting, residual cutting fluid from processing, oil stains, and dust particles from the environment. If these impurities remain on the surface of indium metal, they may cause serious problems in subsequent applications, such as short circuits in electronic components, reduced photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells, and impact on the electrical performance of semiconductor materials. In addition, the immersion rinsing method consumes a large amount of water resources, which not only increases production costs but also contradicts the current concept of sustainable green industry. According to relevant statistics, the water resource utilization rate of traditional washing methods is less than 30%, with a large amount of water being directly discharged, resulting in a huge waste of resources. In the drying stage, existing natural air drying and ordinary heating drying methods also reveal obvious defects. Natural air drying is constrained by ambient temperature, humidity, and ventilation conditions. The drying process is slow and uncontrollable, often taking hours or even days to complete, which greatly prolongs the production cycle and reduces production efficiency. At the same time, prolonged exposure to air causes the surface of indium metal to easily absorb moisture and impurities from the air, leading to secondary pollution. Although ordinary heating drying can speed up the drying process to some extent, uneven heating can easily cause local overheating of indium metal, causing metal deformation and affecting the dimensional accuracy and shape integrity of the product. Moreover, traditional drying equipment lacks precise control over the humidity of the drying environment and cannot make real-time adjustments according to the characteristics of indium metal and process requirements, making it difficult to guarantee the drying quality of the product. In addition, existing washing and drying equipment is usually independent of each other, requiring manual transfer of indium metal between different devices. This not only increases the labor intensity and complexity of the operators, but also increases the risk of damage to indium metal during the transfer process, such as collisions and scratches, further reducing the product qualification rate.

[0004] To address these shortcomings, we proposed a washing and drying device for products prepared by electrolysis of high-purity indium oxide powder. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a washing and drying device for products prepared by electrolysis of high-purity indium oxide powder, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a washing and drying device for products prepared by electrolysis of high-purity indium oxide powder, comprising a housing, a servo cylinder and a dehumidification pipe fixedly installed on the top surface of the housing, a protective box installed inside the housing at the telescopic end of the servo cylinder, a drive motor installed inside the protective box, a bracket installed at the output end of the drive motor, and a storage frame installed on the bracket, a washing pool located below the storage frame inside the housing, and a drain pipe and a liquid inlet pipe fixedly installed on the top and side surfaces of the washing pool, respectively, an ultrasonic generator installed on the housing, a fan fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing, and an electric heating wire heating box connected to the air outlet of the fan, and an air outlet plate arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the housing corresponding to the position of the storage frame, with an air outlet nozzle fixedly installed on the surface of the air outlet plate, and the air outlet plate connected to the electric heating wire heating box through a distribution pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the housing is hinged with a door, and a control switch is fixedly installed on the surface of the door. The control switch is electrically connected to the servo cylinder, ultrasonic generator, fan, heating wire heating box and drive motor through wires.

[0008] Preferably, the air outlet is provided in multiple parts, and the multiple air outlets are equidistantly distributed on the surface of the air outlet plate.

[0009] Preferably, the diameter of the storage frame is smaller than the diameter of the box body.

[0010] Preferably, the depth of the washing pool is greater than the height of the storage frame.

[0011] Preferably, the door is secured to the box body by a latch.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model combines centrifugal drying and oven drying. First, centrifugal force is used to quickly remove a large amount of moisture, and then the product is dried, which greatly shortens the drying time and significantly improves the drying efficiency compared to traditional drying methods.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1-4 A washing and drying apparatus for products prepared by electrolysis of high-purity indium oxide powder includes a housing 1. The housing 1 is characterized by a servo cylinder 2 and a dehumidification pipe fixedly installed on its top surface. A protective box 3 is installed inside the housing 1 at the telescopic end of the servo cylinder 2. A drive motor 4 is installed inside the protective box 3. A bracket 5 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 4. A storage frame 6 is installed on the bracket 5. A washing tank 7 is located below the storage frame 6 inside the housing 1. A drain pipe 9 and a liquid inlet pipe 10 are fixedly installed on the top and sides of the washing tank 7, respectively. An ultrasonic generator 8 is installed on the housing 1. A fan 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing 1. The outlet of the fan 11 is connected to a heating element heating box 12. An air outlet plate 14 is arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the housing 1 at the position corresponding to the storage frame 6. An air outlet nozzle 15 is fixedly installed on the surface of the air outlet plate 14. The air outlet plate 14 is connected to the heating element heating box 12 via a distribution pipe 13.

[0020] First, open the chamber door 16 and place the high-purity indium oxide powder to be processed into the storage frame 6. After closing the chamber door 16, start the device via the control switch 17. The inlet pipe 10 begins to inject washing liquid into the washing tank 7. When the washing liquid reaches the appropriate level, start the ultrasonic generator 8. The ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic generator 8 propagate in the washing liquid. Utilizing the cavitation effect, impurities on the surface of the indium metal are stripped off under strong impact, thus achieving efficient washing. After washing is completed, open the drain pipe 9 to discharge the washing liquid. Then, the servo cylinder 2 operates, pushing the bracket 5 to move the storage frame 6 upwards. The powder leaves the washing tank 7 and enters the drying zone. Upon arrival, the drive motor 4 starts, rotating the storage frame 6. Centrifugal force is used to remove a large amount of moisture from the surface of the high-purity indium oxide powder. After drying, the fan 11 starts, transferring the heat generated by the heating wire heating box 12 through the air duct 13 to the air outlet plate 14, and then blowing hot air out through the air outlet nozzle 15 to dry the high-purity indium oxide powder. During the drying process, the operating parameters of each component can be adjusted according to the actual situation through the control switch 17 to ensure the drying effect. The entire process realizes integrated and efficient operation from washing to drying.

[0021] In this embodiment: the outer wall of the housing 1 is hinged with a door 16, and a control switch 17 is fixedly installed on the surface of the door 16. The control switch 17 is electrically connected to the servo cylinder 2, the ultrasonic generator 8, the fan 11, the heating wire heating box 12 and the drive motor 4 through wires.

[0022] Specifically, the common circuit connection structure will not be elaborated on here.

[0023] In this embodiment, multiple air outlets 15 are provided, and the multiple air outlets 15 are equidistantly distributed on the surface of the air outlet plate 14.

[0024] Specifically, this makes the indium metal heat up more evenly and achieves a more ideal drying effect.

[0025] In this implementation scheme: the diameter of the storage frame 6 is smaller than the diameter of the box body 1.

[0026] Specifically, it ensures that the storage frame 6 can rotate within the housing 1 without any motion interference.

[0027] In this implementation plan: the depth of the washing pool 7 is greater than the height of the storage frame 6.

[0028] Specifically, this allows the storage frame 6 to be connected to the indium metal that sinks into the washing tank 7 for ultrasonic washing.

[0029] In this implementation plan: the door 16 is fixed to the box body 1 by a latch.

[0030] Specifically, ensure a tight seal during the washing and drying process.

[0031] Working principle: In use, first open the chamber door 16 and place the high-purity indium oxide powder to be processed into the storage frame 6. After closing the chamber door 16, start the device via the control switch 17. The inlet pipe 10 begins injecting washing liquid into the washing tank 7. When the washing liquid reaches the appropriate level, the ultrasonic generator 8 is activated. The ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic generator 8 propagate in the washing liquid, utilizing the cavitation effect to peel off impurities on the surface of the indium metal under strong impact, thus achieving efficient washing. After washing is complete, open the drain pipe 9 to discharge the washing liquid. Then, the servo cylinder 2 operates, pushing the bracket 5 to... The storage frame 6 rises away from the washing tank 7 and enters the drying zone. Upon reaching the drying zone, the drive motor 4 starts, causing the storage frame 6 to rotate. Centrifugal force is used to spin off a large amount of water from the surface of the high-purity indium oxide powder. After spinning off, the fan 11 starts, and the heat generated by the heating wire heating box 12 is transported to the air outlet plate 14 through the air duct 13. Then, hot air is blown out through the air outlet 15 to dry the high-purity indium oxide powder. During the drying process, the operating parameters of each component can be adjusted according to the actual situation through the control switch 17 to ensure the drying effect. The whole process realizes an integrated and efficient operation from washing to drying.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
