Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of indium production technology, specifically to an indium extraction apparatus with a protective partition. Background Technology

[0002] Indium, an important strategic rare metal, is widely used in electronic semiconductors, transparent conductive films (ITO), alloys, and solar cells. Solvent extraction is currently the mainstream process for separating, enriching, and purifying indium from complex smelting solutions, with the core equipment being the mixing-clarification extraction tank. Currently, most industrially used extraction tanks have an open top or are simply covered. This traditional structure has revealed many problems in actual operation, such as: 1. Serious problem of foreign matter contamination: The production workshop environment is complex, and dust, flocculent matter, insects and other debris in the air can easily fall onto the surface of the liquid in the open clarification chamber. These foreign matter can become a third phase or suspended matter, which will damage the clarity of the interface between the two phases (organic phase and aqueous phase) and make phase separation difficult.

[0003] 2. Organic Phase Volatilization Loss and Safety Hazards: The organic phase used in the extraction process typically consists of an extractant (such as P204) and a diluent (such as sulfonated kerosene), with the diluent being a volatile organic compound (VOC). The open-top design provides conditions for the continuous evaporation of organic solvents, resulting not only in the direct economic loss of valuable materials and increased production costs, but also in creating a flammable and explosive gas environment within the workshop, posing a serious threat to production safety. Furthermore, the volatile organic compounds are harmful to the health of operators and do not comply with increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements.

[0004] 3. Inconvenient observation and maintenance: Although the open design facilitates direct observation of the phase interface, the lack of any protective measures means that operators are prone to inhaling volatile organic gases and acid mists when observing or sampling the interface, which is detrimental to occupational health protection. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, this application provides an indium extraction device with a protective partition, which can effectively avoid the problems of foreign matter contamination and organic phase volatilization caused by the above open design, while also taking into account the advantages of easy sampling and convenient maintenance.

[0006] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, an indium extraction apparatus with protective partitions is provided. The indium extraction apparatus with protective partitions includes an extraction separation tank and a stirring tank and a separation tank located at both ends of the extraction separation tank. Multiple supporting steel beams are arranged parallel to the length of the extraction separation tank at its upper end. Isolation components are supported between adjacent supporting steel beams and between the supporting steel beams located on the side and the side plates of the extraction separation tank. Each isolation component includes multiple linearly arranged load-bearing isolation plates. Two flip-up support rods are hinged to each side of the load-bearing isolation plate, and the other end of each flip-up support rod is hinged to the supporting steel beam or the side plate of the extraction separation tank. A hook is provided at the top center of each load-bearing isolation plate. Strip tracks are provided on both sides of the isolation components. A functional trolley is movably mounted on the strip tracks. A lifting motor is mounted on the functional trolley, and the output shaft of the lifting motor is driven by a hinge. A hook is connected to the end of the hinge.

[0007] In some embodiments, the functional vehicle includes a base, with a plurality of rollers matching the strip track connected to the lower part of the base via a support frame, and a hoisting motor disposed above the base, wherein the end of the motor is connected to a turntable via a reducer, and the hinge is connected to the turntable.

[0008] In some embodiments, a storage compartment is provided above the base, and the storage compartment is open.

[0009] In some embodiments, a plurality of test tube clamps are provided on one side wall of the storage tank, the test tube clamps being used to hold test tubes.

[0010] In some embodiments, the groove includes a circular slot formed at the center of the load-bearing isolation plate, the circular slot being open, a column fixed inside the circular slot, and a hole horizontally formed on the column for the hook to pass through.

[0011] In some embodiments, a square groove is provided on each side of the circular groove on the load-bearing isolation plate, and a handle is provided in the square groove.

[0012] In some embodiments, a cover for sealing the gap between two load-bearing isolation plates is slidably provided on one side of the load-bearing isolation plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: By setting supporting steel beams at the top of the extraction separation tank, multiple supporting steel beams and the sidewalls of the extraction separation tank together form a supporting frame, providing stable support for the isolation assembly and the workers standing on it. In this application, the isolation assembly includes multiple linearly arranged load-bearing isolation plates, which are connected by flip-up support rods, ensuring that the load-bearing isolation plates can accurately return to their original position after flipping. Furthermore, after being flipped open, the load-bearing isolation plates are stacked on top of another load-bearing isolation plate, and their vertical height does not increase excessively, thus not affecting the movement of the subsequent functional vehicle. On the other hand, by setting up a functional vehicle, tools and sampling equipment can be carried, and the load-bearing isolation plates can be easily lifted by the lifting motor on the functional vehicle.

[0018] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of the isolation component provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a partial structural diagram of the isolation component and the functional vehicle provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 4This is a partial structural diagram of the functional vehicle provided in this application embodiment. The indium extraction device 100 with protective partitions includes an extraction separation tank 110 and a stirring tank 120 and a separation tank 130 located at both ends of the extraction separation tank 110. The extraction separation tank 110, stirring tank 120, and separation tank 130 can all be set up using existing technology. Multiple supporting steel beams 140 are arranged parallel to the length direction of the extraction separation tank 110 at the upper end. The supporting steel beams 140 are used to form a stable supporting frame above the extraction separation tank 110. They are mainly used for load bearing. The load of the supporting steel beams 140 includes multiple isolation components 150 installed at their upper ends, operators performing various operations above them, cleaning equipment, and the functional vehicle 170, etc. The supporting steel beams 140 need to have sufficient strength. It should also be noted that anti-corrosion materials can be coated to ensure their service life. Isolation components 150 are installed between adjacent supporting steel beams 140 and between the side plates of the supporting steel beams 140 and the extraction separation tank 110. The side plates of the extraction separation tank 110 also have a certain load-bearing capacity; therefore, the side plates of the extraction separation tank 110 can also be considered as supporting steel beams 140 for the installation of the isolation components 150. The isolation components 150 include multiple linearly arranged load-bearing isolation plates 151, which are arranged in a grid pattern above the extraction separation tank 110. Sampling, cleaning, and observation of any location within the extraction separation tank 110 can be achieved by opening the corresponding load-bearing isolation plate 151. Two flipping support rods 152 are hinged to each side of the load-bearing isolation plate 151. The other end of each flipping support rod 152 is hinged to the supporting steel beam 140 or the side plate of the extraction separation tank 110. The four flipping support rods 152 are opposite each other and parallel to each other, used to limit the position of the load-bearing isolation plate 151 during the flipping process and ensure that it returns to its original position along the original path. A hook 153 is provided at the top center of the load-bearing isolation plate 151. The hook 153 is used to connect with the hook 173 on the functional vehicle 170. It should be noted that the load-bearing isolation plate 151 needs to bear weight and has a certain length and width, so it is usually quite heavy. It is difficult for a single person to lift it. The functional vehicle 170 can be used to assist in lifting it. Strip rails 160 are provided on both sides of the isolation component 150. The strip rails 160 are used to allow the functional vehicle 170 to move stably. The functional vehicle 170 is movably mounted on the strip rails 160. The functional vehicle 170 is equipped with a lifting motor 171. The output shaft of the lifting motor 171 is driven to connect to a hinge 172. The end of the hinge 172 is connected to the hook 173. When the lifting motor 171 is turned on, it can drive the hinge 172 to wind up and lift the hook 173.

[0019] In this embodiment, during operation, when sampling, cleaning, or observation of a specific area is required, the functional vehicle 170 is pushed along the strip track 160 to that area, the hinge 172 is pulled down and the hook 173 is hooked onto the hook opening 153, the lifting motor 171 is started, and the motor drives the hinge 172 to wind up and lift the hook 173. The hook 173 further lifts the load-bearing isolation plate 151 to a certain height through the hook opening 153. At this time, the tilting support rods 152 around the load-bearing isolation plate 151 are tilted as the load-bearing isolation plate 151 is lifted. Then, the functional vehicle 170 is pushed again, and the functional vehicle 170 pushes the load-bearing isolation plate 151 to move through the hinge 172 and the hook 173, causing the tilting support rods 152 to tilt more than 90 degrees (e.g., Figure 5 In state 151-1, where the load-bearing isolation plate 151 is in the process of flipping, finally, the lifting motor 171 is turned on and reversed. After the hinge 172 and hook 173 fall down, the load-bearing isolation plate 151 will press on top of another load-bearing isolation plate 151 and expose a local cavity of the extraction separation tank 110 (such as...). Figure 5 In state 151-2, the load-bearing isolation plate 151 has been flipped.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, by setting a support steel beam 140 at the top of the extraction separation tank 110, multiple support steel beams 140 and the side wall of the extraction separation tank 110 together form a support frame, providing stable support for the isolation component 150 and the workers standing on it. In this application, the isolation component 150 includes multiple linearly arranged load-bearing isolation plates 151. The load-bearing isolation plates 151 are connected by a flip support rod 152, thereby ensuring that the load-bearing isolation plates 151 can be accurately reset after flipping, and that the load-bearing isolation plates 151 will be superimposed on another load-bearing isolation plate 151 after being flipped open, and its vertical height will not increase excessively, thus not affecting the movement of the subsequent functional vehicle 170. On the other hand, in this embodiment, by setting the functional vehicle 170, on the one hand, tools and sampling equipment can be carried, and on the other hand, the load-bearing isolation plates 151 can be easily lifted by the lifting motor 171 on the functional vehicle 170.

[0021] In some embodiments, the functional vehicle 170 includes a base 174. A plurality of rollers 176, matching the strip track 160, are connected to the lower part of the base 174 via a support frame 175. A lifting motor 171 is disposed above the base 174, wherein the end of the motor is connected to a turntable 171b via a reducer 171a, and a hinge 172 is connected to the turntable 171b. During operation in this embodiment, when the motor starts, it drives the reducer 171a and the turntable 171b to rotate. Further, during the rotation of the turntable 171b, the hinge 172 is wound around it, thereby completing the operation of lifting the load-bearing isolation plate 151.

[0022] In some embodiments, a storage slot 177 is provided above the base 174, and the storage slot 177 is open. In this embodiment, the storage slot 177 facilitates the retrieval of tools.

[0023] In some embodiments, a plurality of test tube clamps 178 are provided on one side wall of the storage tank 177, and the test tube clamps 178 are used to hold test tubes. In this embodiment of the application, the test tubes can be clamped and fixed by providing test tube clamps 178, and the test tubes are used to hold samples from various areas of the extraction separation tank 110.

[0024] In some embodiments, the groove includes a circular slot 153a formed in the center of the load-bearing isolation plate 151. The circular slot 153a is open, and a column 153b is fixed inside the circular slot 153a. A hole 153c is horizontally formed on the column 153b for the hook 173 to pass through. This application embodiment provides a specific arrangement of the hook slot 153, which is inexpensive, structurally stable, and easy to manufacture.

[0025] In some embodiments, a square groove is provided on each side of the circular groove 153a on the load-bearing isolation plate 151, and a handle 151a is provided in the square groove. In this embodiment, by providing the handle 151a, it is convenient for the operator to manually flip and lift the load-bearing isolation plate 151.

[0026] In some embodiments, a cover 151b for sealing the gap between two load-bearing isolation plates 151 is slidably provided on one side of the load-bearing isolation plate 151. In this embodiment, by providing the cover 151b to seal the gap between the two load-bearing isolation plates 151, the sealing effect is further improved. When it is necessary to lift one of the load-bearing isolation plates 151, simply slide the corresponding cover 151b away from the gap between that load-bearing isolation plate 151 and the other load-bearing isolation plate 151 without obstruction by the cover.
