Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolyte preparation technology, and in particular to a cooling device for electrolyte preparation. Background Technology
[0002] In the preparation of electrolytes, certain reaction or mixing stages generate heat, or the electrolyte needs to be cooled to a specific temperature to meet process requirements. Existing cooling devices typically employ cooling coils inside the reaction vessel for temperature reduction. However, in practical use, electrolytes tend to crystallize or deposit on the inner and outer walls of the cooling coils. These crystals and deposits not only significantly reduce the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling coils, leading to poorer cooling performance and increased energy consumption, but can also, in severe cases, clog pipes, affecting normal equipment operation and even requiring shutdown for cleaning, thus reducing production efficiency. Therefore, a cooling device for electrolyte preparation is needed to meet these requirements. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling device for electrolyte preparation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cooling device for electrolyte preparation, comprising a device tank. A cooling pipe for introducing a cooling medium is disposed within the device tank. The cooling pipe is formed by several U-shaped tubes connected end-to-end in a circumferential shape, forming a vertical cylindrical coil structure. Both the medium inlet and outlet of the cooling pipe extend to the bottom exterior of the device tank, facilitating connection to an external cooling system.
[0005] A motor is fixedly mounted on the top outer side of the device tank. The motor's output shaft extends downward into the interior of the device tank, and a turntable is fixedly connected to its bottom end. A rotating shaft is connected to the center of the bottom end of the turntable, and this rotating shaft extends downward. A stirring rod for stirring the electrolyte is provided on one side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a first brush roller is rotatably connected to the other side via a bearing. The first brush roller is arranged inside the circumferential space enclosed by the cooling pipes, and its bristles can contact the inner wall of the cooling pipes.
[0006] A first helical gear is fixedly welded to the top inner side of the device tank. A double-ended helical gear rod meshes with one side of the first helical gear, that is, one end of the double-ended helical gear rod is a helical gear and meshes with the first helical gear.
[0007] A crossbar is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the turntable, and this crossbar rotates synchronously with the turntable. A second brush roller is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the crossbar via a bearing. The second brush roller is arranged on the outside of the cooling pipe, and its bristles can contact the outer wall of the cooling pipe. A second helical gear is connected to the top end of the second brush roller. The second helical gear meshes with the helical gear at the other end of a double-headed helical gear rod. The middle part of the double-headed helical gear rod is rotatably connected to the crossbar.
[0008] Preferably, the device tank consists of an outer liner, a hollow layer, and an inner liner. The hollow layer can serve as an additional insulation layer or a cooling jacket. The inlet of the cooling medium is located on the side wall, and the outlet is located at the bottom, forming a reasonable medium flow path.
[0009] Preferably, the cooling pipe is welded to the bottom of the device tank via several connecting posts to ensure the stability of the cooling pipe within the tank.
[0010] Preferably, a baffle is provided at the top of the turntable and the crossbar. The top of the baffle is open, and the baffle covers the outside of the first helical gear, the second helical gear, and the double-headed helical gear rod, which can effectively prevent electrolyte from splashing onto the gears and avoid corrosion and jamming.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the device tank is provided with an oil inlet to facilitate the addition of lubricating oil to the gear transmission parts, ensuring smooth transmission and extending service life.
[0012] Preferably, the crossbar is provided with two positioning blocks. The middle section of the double-headed helical gear rod is rotatably connected within the two positioning blocks. The two positioning blocks are respectively arranged on the side of the two helical gears away from their meshing surfaces, and are used to position the double-headed helical gear rod axially and radially to ensure stable meshing with the first and second helical gears and prevent tooth disengagement.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this invention, by setting a first brush roller and a second brush roller that can simultaneously revolve around the sun and rotate on their own axis, the inner and outer walls of the cooling pipe are continuously and automatically brushed, which can effectively prevent substances in the electrolyte from crystallizing or depositing on the pipe wall, keeping the cooling pipe wall clean at all times, thereby ensuring high heat exchange efficiency and saving energy.
[0014] This invention achieves three functions simultaneously—stirring, inner cleaning, and outer cleaning—through a single motor drive. The transmission structure is compact and ingenious, requiring no additional power source. The automatic cleaning function reduces the frequency of downtime for cleaning, ensuring the continuity and stability of production and improving overall production efficiency.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0018] Reference Figure 1-5 A cooling device for electrolyte preparation mainly includes a device tank 1, a cooling pipe 2, a drive and stirring mechanism, an inner cleaning mechanism and an outer cleaning mechanism.
[0019] Reference Figure 2 and 4 The device tank 1 consists of a three-layer structure: an outer liner, a hollow layer, and an inner liner. The hollow layer can be evacuated or filled with insulation material for heat preservation. The cooling pipe 2 is composed of multiple U-shaped pipes 3 welded end to end, arranged in a circumferential shape to form a vertical spiral coil assembly, which is firmly welded to the bottom surface inside the device tank 1 by multiple connecting posts 14. The inlet and outlet of the cooling pipe 2 are both led out from the bottom of the device tank 1.
[0020] Reference Figure 2-5The driving and stirring mechanism includes a motor 4 fixed to the top of the outer side of the tank 1. The output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to a turntable 5, and a rotating shaft 6 is connected to the center of the bottom of the turntable 5. Multiple stirring rods 7 are mounted on the rotating shaft 6. The inner cleaning mechanism includes a first brush roller 8 rotatably connected to one side of the rotating shaft 6 via bearings. The first brush roller 8 is located inside the cylindrical space enclosed by the cooling pipes 2, and its bristles lightly touch the inner wall of the cooling pipes 2. When the rotating shaft 6 revolves, it drives the first brush roller 8 to revolve, and the friction causes it to rotate, thus brushing the inner side of the cooling pipes 2.
[0021] Reference Figure 2-5 The outer cleaning mechanism includes a crossbar 11 fixed to the edge of the turntable 5, a second brush roller 12 rotatably connected to the bottom end of the crossbar 11, and a second helical gear 13 connected to the top end of the second brush roller 12. The second brush roller 12 is located outside the cooling pipe 2, with its bristles lightly touching the outer wall of the cooling pipe 2. A first helical gear 9 is fixed to the top of the inner side of the device tank 1. A double-headed helical gear rod 10 is rotatably connected between two positioning blocks 17 on the crossbar 11 via its central rod body. One end of the double-headed helical gear rod 10 meshes with the fixed first helical gear 9, and the other end meshes with the second helical gear 13. A baffle 15 is provided on the top of the turntable 5 and the crossbar 11 to protect the gear assembly. An oil inlet 16 is provided on the top of the device tank 1, leading to the gear meshing area.
[0022] Working principle: Start motor 4, which drives turntable 5 to rotate. Turntable 5 drives the rotating shaft 6 at its bottom and the crossbar 11 on one side to rotate synchronously.
[0023] The rotating shaft 6 drives the stirring rod 7 on it to rotate, stirring the electrolyte in the device tank 1, so as to make the temperature uniform and improve the cooling efficiency.
[0024] The rotating shaft 6 drives the first brush roller 8 to revolve around the central axis of the cooling pipe 2. Due to the frictional resistance between the first brush roller 8 and the inner wall of the cooling pipe 2, and because it is rotatably connected, it will rotate on its own axis while revolving, thereby using the bristles to brush the inner wall of the cooling pipe 2 and prevent crystals from adhering.
[0025] The crossbar 11 rotates with the turntable 5, causing the second brush roller 12 at its bottom end to revolve around the central axis of the device tank 1. Simultaneously, as one end of the double-headed helical gear rod 10, rotatably connected to the crossbar 11, revolves around the fixed first helical gear 9, the meshing of the gears forces the double-headed helical gear rod 10 to rotate on its own axis. This rotation of the double-headed helical gear rod 10 drives the second helical gear 13, which meshes with its other end, to rotate, thereby driving the second brush roller 12 to rotate at high speed. Thus, the second brush roller 12 actively rotates on its own axis while revolving around the turntable 5, and its bristles effectively scrub the outer wall of the cooling pipe 2, removing any adhering substances.
[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
