Filter Cloth Recovery Device for Copper Rod Casting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing copper rod continuous casting and rolling manufacturing systems face high labor workload and high filter cloth usage costs due to the manual recovery of copper powders from filter cloths, which are not efficiently cleaned, leading to reduced emulsion quality and shortened water pump life.
Innovation Solution
A filter cloth recovery device with a cleaning water tank, winding mechanism, and cleaning mechanism that includes liquid spraying pipes and a scraper to wash and wind the filter cloth, allowing for automatic removal and reuse of copper powders, reducing manual labor and cloth usage costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of substance
If manual cleaning of filter cloth is used to remove copper powders, then copper powders can be recovered, but labor workload increases and filter cloth cannot be reused
Solution Approach 1:
The filter cloth cleaning device enables the filter cloth to clean itself automatically through a cleaning water tank with spray nozzles that spray water onto the filter cloth to remove copper powders, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and allowing the filter cloth to be reused multiple times
Solution Approach 2:
The device recovers copper powders from the filter cloth by washing them off with water in the cleaning water tank, separating the valuable copper powders from the filter cloth for reuse, thereby preventing loss of both the filter cloth and copper powders
2Reliability
If filter cloth is not cleaned automatically, then labor costs are reduced, but emulsion quality deteriorates and water pump life shortens
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically cleans the filter cloth through a cleaning water tank with spray nozzles that continuously or periodically spray water onto the filter cloth surface, removing accumulated copper powders without manual intervention, thereby maintaining emulsion quality and preventing water pump damage
3Productivity
If filter cloth is wound manually after cleaning, then filter cloth can be reused, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning and winding functions are merged into a single integrated device where the cleaning water tank is combined with a winding mechanism that automatically winds the cleaned filter cloth, simplifying the overall operation while maintaining productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The filter cloth is automatically wound onto a reel after cleaning without manual intervention, allowing continuous reuse of the filter cloth in the filtration process
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device efficiently washes and recovers copper powders from the filter cloth, reducing manual cleaning workload and lowering filter cloth usage costs, enabling continuous and cost-effective copper rod manufacturing by reusing the filter cloth.
Implementation Method 1
The cleaning mechanism is provided with a plurality of liquid spraying openings configured to spray a liquid to the filter cloth located in the cloth-transmitting path
Implementation Method 2
a scraper configured to scrape off copper powders from the filter cloth
Implementation Method 3
a winding shaft provided on the cleaning water tank and configured to wind a filter cloth after being cleaned

AI summary
Provided are a filter cloth recovery device and a copper rod continuous casting and rolling manufacturing system using the same. This device includes a cleaning water tank, a winding mechanism and a cleaning mechanism provided on the cleaning water tank. The winding mechanism includes: a winding shaft provided on the cleaning water tank for winding a filter cloth after being cleaned; a first guiding roller for guiding a filter cloth to be cleaned into a cloth-transmitting path within the cleaning water tank; and a second guiding roller between the first guiding roller and the winding shaft along the cloth-transmitting path for providing a tension force to the filter cloth. One end of the winding shaft is connected with a driving mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is provided with multiple liquid spraying openings for spraying a cleaning fluid to the filter cloth located in the cloth-transmitting path during winding.
