Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolyte cooling technology, specifically to an electrolyte cooling trough. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial processes such as hydrometallurgy, chemical electrolysis, and metal refining, after the electrolyte undergoes a high-temperature reaction in the electrolytic cell, it usually needs to be cooled to a suitable temperature by a cooling system before being transported to subsequent processes or returned to the electrolytic cell for recycling via a post-cooling sluice. In this process, the post-cooling sluice plays a crucial role in guiding, distributing, and buffering the flow.

[0003] Traditional electrolyte cooling sluices generally adopt a fixed baffle structure in the middle, which is intended to divide the liquid flow into two or more branches to enter the downstream equipment. However, due to the combined effects of the fluid's internal viscosity, inertial force and the tank boundary conditions, there is often an obvious uneven flow distribution in actual operation, resulting in the problem that the liquid flow on one side is too large and the liquid flow on the other side is insufficient.

[0004] To alleviate the aforementioned uneven distribution problem, the conventional approach is to install baffles inside the chute for adjustment. While these baffles can change the cross-section of the flow channel to some extent, they are prone to splashing when the electrolyte (usually a strongly acidic or corrosive medium) impacts the baffles at a certain flow rate. This not only causes additional loss of electrolyte but also pollutes the surrounding facilities and environment. Therefore, a device is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a post-cooling electrolyte sluice, which solves the problem of inconvenient and inflexible flow rate adjustment in the post-cooling electrolyte sluice.

The housing is equipped with an adjustment mechanism to adjust the height of the column. The column is located in front of the connection port so that it can block the connection port. The bottom of the column is equipped with a replacement mechanism to improve the efficiency of subsequent maintenance.

[0007] Optionally, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment chamber and an adjustment plate. The adjustment chamber is located inside the housing. The number of adjustment chambers corresponds one-to-one with the number of columns. Multiple adjustment chambers are set independently.

The outer circular surface of the adjustment plate is slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the adjustment chamber. The column is slidably and sealingly connected to the housing.

[0008] Optionally, the adjustment chamber is equipped with a hydraulic mechanism to adjust the height of the adjustment plate.

[0009] Optionally, the hydraulic mechanism includes a delivery pipe, a balance pipe, and a control valve. The delivery pipe and the balance pipe are both located inside the housing along the length of the housing and one end extends through the side wall of the housing. One end of the delivery pipe is connected to the bottom of the regulating chamber through a connecting pipe, and one end of the balance pipe is connected to the top of the regulating chamber through a connecting pipe. The control valve 11 is mounted on the connecting pipe.

[0010] Optionally, the replacement mechanism includes a replacement part and a mounting base. The mounting base is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the column, the replacement part is semi-cylindrical, and the top of the replacement part is detachably connected to the mounting base.

Through the coordinated arrangement of a guide channel, guide plate, and baffle, the electrolyte within the guide channel is evenly divided into two parts by the guide plate, making subsequent use more convenient. An adjustment mechanism and a column are installed within the housing. The adjustment mechanism allows for height adjustment of the column; lowering the column reduces the corresponding electrolyte flow rate, thereby adjusting the electrolyte flow distribution on both sides.

[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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an electrolyte cooling liquid trough, including a guide channel 1, a guide plate 2 fixedly connected inside the guide channel 1, the guide plate 2 being located in the middle of the guide channel 1 to evenly divide the inner cavity of the guide channel 1, the guide plate 2 dividing the inner wall of the guide channel 1, a baffle 3 fixedly connected to one end of the guide plate 2, the two sides of the baffle 3 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide channel 1, and two connecting ports 4 for the electrolyte to pass through being opened at the bottom of the baffle 3.

[0019] The top of the flow channel 1 is fixedly connected to the housing 5 by bolts. The middle of the housing 5 is connected to the column 6. The housing 5 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism to adjust the height of the column 6. The column 6 is located in front of the connecting port 4 so that the column 6 can block the connecting port 4. The bottom of the column 6 is equipped with a replacement mechanism to improve the efficiency of subsequent maintenance.

[0020] The flow channel 1 is a continuous U-shaped channel with an opening at the top. The electrolyte flows over the surface of the flow channel 1 and is divided into two parts by the flow guide plate 2 during the flow process. The baffle 3 closes the opening of the flow guide plate 2 and the flow channel 1, so that the electrolyte can only flow out from the connecting port 4. At the same time, the column 6 is located on one side of the connecting port 4. The height of the column 6 can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism. When the column 6 is moved downward, it will interfere with the flow of electrolyte, causing the electrolyte to collide and thus reducing the flow rate of electrolyte. Adjusting the electrolyte flow rate on one side, when the electrolyte flow rates on both sides are different, the column 6 on the side with the faster flow rate can be inserted to slow down the electrolyte flow rate. The replacement mechanism is located at the bottom of the column 6. After long-term use, only the replacement mechanism can be replaced for maintenance, shortening the time required to replace the upper structure and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0021] In this embodiment, as a preferred option, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment chamber 7 and an adjustment plate 8. The adjustment chamber 7 is located inside the housing 5. The number of adjustment chambers 7 corresponds one-to-one with the number of columns 6. Multiple adjustment chambers 7 are set independently. The adjustment plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the column 6. The adjustment plate 8 is annular. The outer circular surface of the adjustment plate 8 is slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the adjustment chamber 7. The column 6 is slidably and sealingly connected to the housing 5.

[0022] The regulating plate 8 can move up and down within the regulating chamber 7. During the up-and-down movement of the regulating plate 8, it will drive the column 6 to move up and down, so that the column 6 controls the flow rate of the electrolyte below. The regulating plate 8 and the inner wall of the regulating chamber 7 and the column 6 and the inner wall of the shell 5 are all sealed together, so that the regulating plate 8 divides the regulating chamber 7 into two spaces. When liquid is injected into the lower space or air is introduced, the lower space can be emptied by lifting the regulating plate 8 upward, so that the regulating plate 8 can be lowered.

[0023] In this embodiment, as a preferred option, the regulating chamber 7 is provided with a hydraulic mechanism to adjust the height of the regulating plate 8. The hydraulic mechanism includes a delivery pipe 9, a balance pipe 10 and a control valve 11. The delivery pipe 9 and the balance pipe 10 are both located inside the housing 5 along the length of the housing 5 and one end of the delivery pipe 9 extends through the side wall of the housing 5. One end of the delivery pipe 9 is connected to the bottom of the regulating chamber 7 through a connecting pipe, and one end of the balance pipe 10 is connected to the top of the regulating chamber 7 through a connecting pipe. The control valve 11 is located on the connecting pipe.

[0024] One end of the delivery pipe 9 is connected to the input end, through which hydraulic oil and other media are introduced into the delivery pipe 9, and then into the bottom space of the regulating chamber 7. During the injection process, the hydraulic oil will push the regulating plate 8 upward. As the regulating plate 8 moves upward, the air above will soak into the balance pipe 10 and be discharged to the outside from the balance pipe 10 to balance the internal and external air pressure of the regulating chamber 7. After the hydraulic oil is pumped out, the regulating plate 8 will move downward under the action of gravity, causing the column 6 to descend. During the descent, the external air can enter the top space of the regulating chamber 7 through the balance pipe 10. The pipes connecting the delivery pipe 9 and the balance pipe 10 to the regulating chamber 7 are all equipped with control valves 11. The openings can be opened and closed by the control valves 11. There are multiple columns 6. By controlling the opening and closing of different control valves 11, the height of the corresponding column 6 can be adjusted. The control valve 11 is a common technology in the prior art, and its principle is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0025] In this embodiment, as a preferred solution, the replacement mechanism includes a replacement part 12 and a mounting base 13. The mounting base 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the column 6. The replacement part 12 is semi-cylindrical. The top of the replacement part 12 is detachably connected to the mounting base 13. A connecting buckle 14 and a connecting hole 15 are provided on the side where the replacement parts 12 are spliced ​​together. The connecting buckle 14 and the connecting hole 15 are engaged to splice the two replacement parts 12 together.

[0026] The top of the replacement part 12 has a notch that matches the mounting base 13. After the two replacement parts 12 are snapped together, the top can be snapped onto both sides of the mounting base 13, thereby fixing the replacement to the bottom of the mounting base 13. After the replacement part 12 has been worn and corroded for a long time, the original replacement part 12 can be removed and a new replacement part 12 can be installed at the bottom of the mounting base 13 for continued use. The connecting buckle 14 is semi-circular. After the connecting buckle 14 on the replacement part 12 is inserted into the connecting hole 15, the two replacement parts 12 can be fixed together. After the replacement part 12 is installed, the replacement part 12 can also rotate around the mounting base 13, so that the impact of the electrolyte on the replacement part 12 is more uniform, reducing eccentric wear, making the wear rate of the entire replacement part 12 more uniform, and making the replacement part 12 more fully utilized.

[0027] In this embodiment, as a preferred solution, a positioning seat 16 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the guide channel 1, and a positioning hole 17 adapted to the positioning seat 16 is opened at the bottom of the replacement part 12. The positioning seat 16 and the positioning hole 17 are sleeved to position the bottom of the column 6. An auxiliary plate 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide channel 1. The auxiliary plate 18 is opened with multiple through holes, and the column 6 is guided through the through holes.

[0028] After the replacement part 12 is installed together, a positioning hole 17 is formed at the bottom that matches the positioning seat 16. The auxiliary plate 18 constrains the movement direction of the column 6, reducing the possibility of the column 6 tilting. After the column 6 is lowered, the positioning hole 17 at the bottom of the column 6 will fit with the positioning seat 16. The positioning seat 16 constrains the bottom of the column 6, further reducing the occurrence of column 6 shifting and improving the stability of the column 6.

[0029] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows: 1. After the device is installed, open the control valve 11 of the delivery pipe 9 and the balance pipe 10, and introduce hydraulic oil into the regulating chamber 7. Raise all the columns 6 to make the flow rate reach the fastest, so that the electrolyte can be introduced into the guide channel 1 for cooling. Check the flow rate of the electrolyte on both sides through flow meter and other equipment, and adjust the height of the columns 6 when the flow rates are different. 2. Close the remaining control valves 11 and only open the control valve 11 corresponding to the column 6 that needs to be lowered. The delivery pipe 9 will draw away the hydraulic oil, and at the same time, the balance pipe 10 above will draw outside air into the regulating chamber 7 to balance the air pressure. After the column 6 is inserted, check the flow meter to see if the flow rate of the electrolyte on both sides is consistent. If it is inconsistent, make adjustments. 3. If the replacement part 12 is worn or corroded after a certain period of use, the corresponding replacement part 12 shall be separated and removed from the mounting base 13. The new replacement part 12 shall be installed on both sides of the mounting base 13 and the two halves of the replacement part 12 shall be spliced ​​together.

Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
