Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electrode material replacement device, specifically an electrode material replacement device for an electrolytic cell, belonging to the field of electrolytic cell technology. Background Technology

[0002] An electrolytic cell consists of a cell body, an anode, and a cathode. Most electrolytic cells use a diaphragm to separate the anode and cathode chambers. Based on the type of electrolyte, they are classified into three types: aqueous solution electrolytic cells, molten salt electrolytic cells, and non-aqueous solution electrolytic cells. When direct current passes through the electrolytic cell, an oxidation reaction occurs at the anode-solution interface, and a reduction reaction occurs at the cathode-solution interface, to produce the desired product.

[0003] When producing hydrogen in an electrolyzer, the electrodes need to be replaced and maintained regularly. The electrode materials in large electrolyzers are arranged closely together and are relatively thin. The operation of picking up and replacing the electrode materials one by one with tools is cumbersome and reduces the efficiency of electrode material replacement. To address this issue, we provide an electrode material replacement device for electrolyzers. Utility Model Content

The assembly plate is fixed to the bottom of the support frame by the buckle and the retaining ring, which improves the convenience of fixing and installing the assembly plate.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame has a sliding block inside, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block. The buckle is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0016] 3. The electrode material replacement equipment for this electrolytic cell uses a sliding rod to fix the power clamping plate, improving the stability of the lateral sliding of the power clamping plate. A connecting sleeve fixes the connecting block, making the power clamping plate and clamping frame hold the electrode material more stably.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] This utility model provides an electrode material replacement device for an electrolytic cell.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The device includes a support frame 1 with fixing buckles on its surface, allowing it to be hoisted using lifting equipment. The support frame 1 internally houses a material handling mechanism 2 and a power mechanism 3. The material handling mechanism 2 includes an assembly plate 201, a buckle 205, and a driven gear 211. A clamping frame 202 is slidably connected inside the assembly plate 201, securing the clamping frame 202 and clamping the electrode material, reducing the cumbersome process of removing and placing the electrode material and improving the efficiency of electrode material replacement. The buckle 205 secures the assembly plate 201, improving the ease of installation. Rotation of the driven gear 211 controls the movement of the buckle 205, adjusting whether it secures the assembly plate 201. By changing the assembly plate 201, the device can be adapted to various specifications of electrolytic cell electrode materials, improving the practicality of electrode material clamping and replacement.

[0022] The bottom of the clamping frame 202 is fixedly connected to a fixing claw 203, and the top of the assembly plate 201 is fixedly connected to a retaining ring 204. The buckle 205 engages with the retaining ring 204. The fixing claw 203 improves the stability and convenience of the clamping frame 202 in clamping the electrode material. The buckle 205 and the retaining ring 204 fix the assembly plate 201 to the bottom of the support frame 1, improving the convenience of fixing and installing the assembly plate 201.

[0023] The support frame 1 has a sliding block 207 inside, and a connecting plate 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 207. The buckle 205 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 206. By moving the sliding block 207, the connecting plate 206 drives the buckle 205 to move laterally, adjusting whether the buckle 205 is engaged with the retaining ring 204, thereby improving the stability of the engagement between the buckle 205 and the retaining ring 204.

[0024] The support frame 1 is internally rotatably connected to a threaded rod 208, and the sliding block 207 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 208. A bevel gear 209 is fixedly connected to the middle of the threaded rod 208. The rotation of the threaded rod 208 is controlled by the bevel gear 209, so that the threaded rod 208 controls the lateral movement of the sliding block 207.

[0025] The first bevel gear 209 is meshed with the second bevel gear 210, and the top of the second bevel gear 210 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 211. Both the driven gear 211 and the second bevel gear 210 are rotatably connected to the support frame 1. When the power gear 310 meshes with the driven gear 211, the power gear 310 drives the driven gear 211 to rotate, so that the second bevel gear 210 drives the first bevel gear 209 to rotate synchronously.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The power mechanism 3 includes a power clamping plate 301, a driven gear 2 309, and a power gear 310. A connecting block 302 and a toothed rod 305 are fixedly connected to the surface of the power clamping plate 301. Both the driven gear 1 211 and the driven gear 2 309 are adapted to the power gear 310. The driven gear 2 309 is rotated by the power gear 310, which in turn controls the movement of the power clamping plate 301. The power clamping plate 301 drives the clamping frame 202 to move laterally, which facilitates the clamping and fixing of the electrode material. When it is necessary to control the movement of the driven gear 1 211, the position of the power gear 310 can be adjusted to make the power gear 310 mesh with the driven gear 1 211, so that the driven gear 1 211 controls the movement of the buckle 205.

[0028] The top of the clamping frame 202 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 303, and the connecting block 302 is inserted into the connecting block 302. The inside of the power clamping plate 301 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 304, and the sliding rod 304 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. The power clamping plate 301 is fixed by the sliding rod 304 to improve the stability of the lateral sliding of the power clamping plate 301. The connecting block 302 is fixed by the connecting sleeve 303 to make the power clamping plate 301 drive the clamping frame 202 to clamp the electrode material more stably.

[0029] A limiting groove 306 is provided in the middle of the toothed rod 305. A limiting rod 307 is fixedly connected inside the support frame 1, and the limiting groove 306 and the limiting rod 307 are slidably connected. A transmission gear 308 is rotatably connected inside the support frame 1, and the transmission gear 308 is meshed with the toothed rod 305. The toothed rod 305 is fixed by the limiting groove 306 and the limiting rod 307, which improves the stability of the toothed rod 305 driving the power clamp 301 to move. When the driven gear 309 meshes with the power gear 310, the power gear 310 drives the driven gear 309 to rotate, so that the driven gear 309 controls the rotation of the transmission gear 308, thereby controlling the lateral movement of the toothed rod 305.

[0030] Example 3:

[0031] The top end of the transmission gear 308 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 309, and the driven gear 309 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1. The top end of the support frame 1 is rotatably connected to the power shaft 312 that controls the rotation of the power gear 310. The surface of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to a motor that controls the rotation of the power shaft 312. The motor is a mature device, and this application can use existing devices that can control the rotation of the power shaft 312. The surface of the power gear 310 is fixedly connected to a linkage bar that controls the rotation of the power gear 310. The power shaft 312 controls the rotation of the power gear 310 through the linkage bar.

[0032] The top of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to a lift 311 that controls the lifting and lowering of the power gear 310. The lift 311 is equipped with a fixed ring and an electric push rod. The electric push rod is a mature technology. This application can use existing equipment that can control the up and down movement of the fixed ring. The lift 311 controls the up and down movement of the power gear 310, adjusts the meshing connection between the power gear 310 and the driven gear 211 or the driven gear 309, and controls the rotation of the power gear 310 through the power shaft 312, so that the power gear 310 drives the driven gear 211 or the driven gear 309 to rotate.

[0033] Working principle: When it is necessary to replace the assembly plate 201, the lifting mechanism 311 controls the power gear 310 to move upward, so that the power gear 310 meshes with the driven gear 211. The power shaft 312 controls the rotation of the power gear 310. Through the transmission of the driven gear 211, bevel gear 210, bevel gear 209 and threaded rod 208, the sliding block 207 controls the buckle 205 to move away from the retaining ring 204, so that the assembly plate 201 can be removed. Then, the appropriate material picking mechanism 2 is placed in its original position. The power shaft 312 rotates in the opposite direction to make the buckle 205 engage with the retaining ring 204, fixing the assembly plate 201 to the bottom of the support frame 1. The device is moved to the vicinity of the electrolytic cell. The lifting mechanism 311 controls the power gear 310 to move downward, so that the power gear 310 meshes with the driven gear 309. The power gear 310 drives the driven gear 309 to rotate, which in turn controls the transmission gear 308 to rotate, thereby controlling the toothed rod 305 to move laterally. The toothed rod 305, through the power clamping plate 301 and the connecting sleeve 303, drives the clamping frame 202 to approach the electrode material via the connecting block 302, so that the fixing claw 203 can grip the edge of the electrode material. Through the above device, multiple sets of electrode materials can be gripped simultaneously, reducing the difficulty of electrode material replacement and improving the efficiency of electrode material replacement.
