Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foil production machine technology, and in particular to a liquid separator and a foil production machine using the liquid separator. Background Technology

[0002] In the copper foil production process, the foil-making machine is a key piece of equipment, and the uniformity of its liquid inlet flow rate directly affects the areal density quality of the copper foil.

[0003] In existing technology, existing foil production machines typically have a 25-30mm outlet strip between the anode tank and the anode plate. The electrolyte directly impacts the cathode roller surface through a 1.2MPa self-pressure. Since the electrolyte is an acidic medium and at a high temperature, long-term impact can cause rapid oxidation of the cathode roller surface and abnormal problems such as fingernail marks. Typically, offline grinding and repair are required after about 20 days of use. This not only increases equipment maintenance costs but also reduces equipment uptime and causes product scrap, seriously affecting production efficiency and economic benefits. Utility Model Content

The diversion structures are inclined towards the bottom of the liquid separator plate structure with the top of the liquid separator plate structure as the center.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting up several liquid distribution ports and by setting up diversion structures on both sides of the top of the liquid distribution plate structure for guiding the electrolyte, the diversion structures can block the direct electrolyte, and the electrolyte can be evenly squeezed out from both sides of the bottom of the diversion structure by the guidance of the diversion structures, avoiding the electrolyte directly impacting the cathode roller, significantly reducing oxidation and nail mark problems. After reducing the damage of the electrolyte to the cathode roller, the offline grinding cycle can be extended, the equipment operating efficiency can be improved, and the repair cost and product scrap rate can be reduced.

[0007] Furthermore, the diversion structure has an inclination angle of 5°-15°.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the diversion structure is arc-shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, the dispensing port is a strip-shaped grid.

[0010] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a foil-making machine, including a mixer, a plurality of titanium tubes equally spaced on the top of the mixer, a liquid outlet structure connected to the end of the titanium tubes away from the mixer, and a liquid separator as described above disposed on the top of the liquid outlet structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the liquid outlet structure includes a T-shaped plate connected to the end of the titanium tube away from the mixer. The top of the T-shaped plate is concave and arc-shaped. Several liquid outlets communicating with the titanium tube are provided on the top of the T-shaped plate corresponding to the titanium tube. An anode groove and an anode plate are also provided on the top of the T-shaped plate. The anode groove and the anode plate are located on both sides of the liquid outlet.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the tilt angle of the diversion structure 13 is 10°.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottom of the diversion structure 13 is arc-shaped.

[0032] Understandably, by setting the bottom of the diversion structure 13 in an arc shape, the arc shape at the bottom of the diversion structure 13 can guide the electrolyte to flow smoothly around, delay the separation point, reduce the eddy current region, thereby reducing the pressure difference resistance, with frictional resistance being the main factor and the total resistance being small.

[0033] Furthermore, the liquid dispensing port 11 is a strip-shaped grid.

[0034] Understandably, by setting fifteen liquid distribution ports 11 and by setting the diversion structures 13 for guiding the electrolyte on both sides of the top of the liquid distribution plate structure 10, the diversion structures 13 can block the direct electrolyte, and the electrolyte can be evenly squeezed out from the bottom sides of the diversion structures 13 by the diversion structure 13, avoiding the electrolyte from directly impacting the cathode roller, significantly reducing oxidation and nail mark problems. After reducing the damage of the electrolyte to the cathode roller, the offline grinding cycle can be extended, the equipment operating efficiency can be improved, and the repair cost and product scrap rate can be reduced.

[0041] Furthermore, a flow regulating valve 27 is provided on the titanium tube 21.

[0042] Understandably, the electrolyte flows into the titanium tube 21 and is sprayed out through the outlet 24. The flow rate of the electrolyte in the titanium tube 21 is regulated by the flow regulating valve 27. The electrolyte after the flow rate is regulated by the flow regulating valve 27 is sprayed out from the outlet 24 and sprayed at the bottom of the diversion structure 13 through the diversion port 11, thereby avoiding the electrolyte flow rate from directly impacting the cathode roller surface.

[0043] Furthermore, a discharge port 30 is provided at the bottom of the mixer 20.
