Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage technology, and in particular to a storage device for recycling germanium-containing substances. Background Technology

[0002] Germanium, a rare metal of significant strategic importance, has irreplaceable applications in numerous high-tech fields such as semiconductors, fiber optic communications, infrared optics, and healthcare. With the rapid development of related industries, the demand for germanium resources continues to rise. However, germanium reserves in nature are relatively scarce, and its mining and purification costs are high. This makes the recycling and reuse of germanium-containing materials a key approach to alleviating the supply-demand imbalance of germanium resources, reducing industrial costs, and minimizing resource waste.

[0003] In the recycling and reuse of germanium-containing materials, the storage stage is a crucial link in ensuring the effectiveness of subsequent processing and the utilization rate of materials. However, existing germanium-containing material storage devices face problems in practical applications. When retrieving germanium-containing materials from existing storage devices, it is often necessary to open the entire device or go through complex operating procedures. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it inconvenient to quantitatively or qualitatively retrieve germanium-containing materials during experiments, but more importantly, it exposes the germanium-containing materials inside the device to outside air for extended periods during retrieval, further increasing the risk of oxidation and deterioration. It may also allow external impurities to enter the device, contaminating the germanium-containing materials and affecting the accuracy and stability of subsequent experiments or production processes. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0015] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0016] Example: Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a storage device for recycling germanium-containing substances, including a storage tank 1 and a screw cap 3. A feed pipe 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the storage tank 1. A PLC controller 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the storage tank 1. An electric telescopic rod 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the storage tank 1. A cover plate 7 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 6. A notch 8 is opened at the bottom of the storage tank 1. A conveying pipe 9 is provided through the bottom outer wall of the storage tank 1. A motor 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the conveying pipe 9. A spiral conveying rod 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 10. A fixing plate 12 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer wall of the end of the conveying pipe 9 away from the motor 10. A quick-switching mechanism 13 is installed inside the fixing plate 12. The quick-switching mechanism 13 includes two sets of slide rods 131. A fixing block is fixedly installed at one end of each set of slide rods 131. 132, A connecting plate 133 is fixedly installed at the end of the two sets of sliding rods 131 away from the fixed block 132. A return spring 134 is sleeved on the outer wall of the two sets of sliding rods 131. A cover plate 135 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the connecting plate 133. A handle 136 is fixedly installed on the side of the cover plate 135 away from the conveying pipe 9. A sealing gasket 137 is fixedly installed on the side of the cover plate 135 close to the conveying pipe 9. The feed pipe 2 is spirally connected to the cap 3. A rotating plate 4 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cap 3. The cover plate 7 is slidably connected to the notch 8. The notch 8 is interconnected with the conveying pipe 9. The electric telescopic rod 6 and the motor 10 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 5. The two sets of sliding rods 131 are slidably connected to the fixed plate 12. One end of the return spring 134 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 132. The other end of the return spring 134 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 133.

[0017] In this embodiment, the electric telescopic rod 6 and the motor 10 are automatically controlled by the PLC controller 5. Combined with the spiral conveyor rod 11, the germanium-containing material can be accurately retrieved without opening the entire device, greatly simplifying the operation process. At the same time, it reduces the contact time between the material and the outside air, significantly reducing the risk of oxidation and deterioration and the probability of external impurity contamination, ensuring the accuracy and stability of subsequent experiments or production processes. In addition, the cooperation between the reset spring 134 and the sealing gasket 137 in the quick-switching mechanism 13 not only allows for convenient control of the opening and closing of the cover plate 135 via the handle 136, but also ensures the sealing of the outlet of the conveying pipe 9, preventing material leakage or moisture during storage.

[0018] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the screw cap 3 is first rotated by the rotating plate 4 on the outer wall of the screw cap 3. Since the feed pipe 2 is spirally connected to the screw cap 3, after unscrewing the screw cap 3, the germanium-containing material can be poured into the storage tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. Then, the rotating plate 4 is rotated in the opposite direction to close the screw cap 3 and complete the storage. When the germanium-containing material needs to be taken out, the electric telescopic rod 6 is started by the PLC controller 5. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the cover plate 7 to slide, so that the cover plate 7 is separated from the notch 8 at the bottom of the storage tank 1 (the notch 8 is connected to the conveying pipe 9). At this time, the germanium-containing material can enter the conveying pipe 9 through the notch 8. Then, the PLC controller 5 starts the motor 10. The output end of the motor 10 drives the spiral conveying rod 11 to rotate in the conveying pipe 9, conveying the germanium-containing material in the conveying pipe 9 to the end away from the motor 10. Then, the operator pulls the handle 136 of the quick switch mechanism 13. The handle 136 drives the cover plate 135, the connecting plate 133 and the two sets of sliding rods 131 along the fixed plate 1. 2. During the sliding process, the sliding rod 131 will drive the fixed block 132 to move and compress the return spring 134. After compression to a certain extent, the cover plate 135 moves away from the outlet of the conveying pipe 9, and the germanium-containing substance can be discharged from the outlet of the conveying pipe 9, completing the retrieval. After the retrieval is completed, the handle 136 is released, the return spring 134 returns to its deformation, and drives the fixed block 132, the sliding rod 131, the connecting plate 133 and the cover plate 135 to reset. The cover plate 135 re-fits the outlet of the conveying pipe 9, and the sealing gasket 137 on one side ensures the outlet is sealed. Finally, the PLC controller 5 controls the electric telescopic rod 6 to drive the cover plate 7 to reset, and re-cover the notch 8, completing the entire retrieval process and restoring the storage state.

[0019] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
