In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a slurry iron remover, which can not only enable the slurry iron remover to automatically clean slurry and improve iron removal effect and efficiency, but also can clean the interior of a device without opening the device and ensure safety during the cleaning process.
In a first aspect, there is provided a slurry iron remover, including: a tank body configured to contain slurry; a magnetic bar disposed in the tank body, where the magnetic bar is configured to absorb iron particles in the slurry; and a cleaning column ring disposed in the tank body and surrounding the magnetic bar, where the cleaning column ring is fitted to an outer surface of the magnetic bar and an inner surface of the tank body respectively, and the cleaning column ring is configured to move along an axial direction of the magnetic bar after the slurry is discharged from the tank body to clean the tank body and the magnetic bar.
In the embodiment of the present application, the magnetic bar is disposed in the tank body, and the magnetic bar can absorb iron particles in the slurry contained in the tank body. The cleaning column ring is disposed in the tank body and surrounds the magnetic bar. In this way, when the cleaning column ring moves along the axial direction of the magnetic bar, the tank body and the magnetic bar can be cleaned, so as to enable the slurry iron remover to automatically clean a component in the interior of a device. The cleaning column ring is fitted to the tank body and the magnetic bar to comprehensively clean the tank body and the magnetic bar, so as to improve cleaning effect of the device. Moreover, the device does not need to be opened in the process of automatic cleaning of the slurry iron remover. Therefore, on the one hand, no chemicals will be exposed to the air, which meets chemical safety requirements, and on the other hand, safety risks caused by opening the device can be reduced.
In one possible implementation manner, the cleaning column ring includes: a column ring body; an inner scraping diaphragm disposed on an inner surface of the column ring body and fitted to the outer surface of the magnetic bar, where the inner scraping diaphragm is configured to clean the magnetic bar; and an outer scraping diaphragm disposed on an outer surface of the column ring body and fitted to the inner surface of the tank body, where the outer scraping diaphragm is configured to clean the tank body.
In the embodiment of the present application, the inner scraping diaphragm and the outer scraping diaphragm are disposed in the cleaning column ring. The inner scraping diaphragm is configured to clean the magnetic bar, and the outer scraping diaphragm is configured to clean the tank body. By setting different cleaning components on the cleaning column ring, the inner surface of the tank body and the outer surface of the magnetic bar can be cleaned simultaneously, thereby improving self-cleaning effect of components such as the magnetic bar and the tank body in the slurry iron remover.
In one possible implementation manner, the inner scraping diaphragm and the outer scraping diaphragm are each in a sheet-shaped circular ring structure.
In the embodiment of the present application, the cleaning column ring is disposed in the tank body and surrounds the magnetic bar. When the inner scraping diaphragm and the outer scraping diaphragm on the cleaning column ring are both in a sheet-shaped circular ring structure, the inner scraping diaphragm and the outer scraping diaphragm can respectively clean all parts of the magnetic bar and the tank body to avoid an uncleaned region on the magnetic bar and the tank body.
In one possible implementation manner, the cleaning column ring includes a plurality of inner scraping diaphragms and a plurality of outer scraping diaphragms distributed along the axial direction of the magnetic bar.
In the embodiment of the present application, the cleaning column ring surrounds the magnetic bar. When the plurality of inner scraping diaphragms and the plurality of outer scraping diaphragms are distributed along the axial direction of the magnetic bar, both the entire outer surface of the magnetic bar and the inner surface of the tank body can be cleaned by the inner scraping diaphragms and the outer scraping diaphragms. Moreover, part of the outer surface region of the magnetic bar and part of the inner surface region of the tank body can be cleaned multiple times, and setting the plurality of inner scraping diaphragms and outer scraping diaphragms at the same time can improve the cleaning efficiency.
In one possible implementation manner, before the slurry enters the tank body, the cleaning column ring is located in a first region of the magnetic bar; after the slurry enters the tank body, the slurry covers a second region of the tank body, and the first region and the second region do not overlap; and after the slurry is discharged from the tank body, the cleaning column ring moves into the second region along the axial direction of the magnetic bar to clean the tank body and the magnetic bar.
In the embodiment of the present application, when there is no slurry in the tank body, the cleaning column ring is located at the upper part of the magnetic bar, that is, the first region. When the slurry enters the tank body, the slurry covers the second region of the tank body, and after the magnetic bar adsorbs the iron particles, the slurry is discharged from the tank body. The cleaning column ring moves along the axial direction of the magnetic bar, so that the cleaning column ring moves from the first region to the second region to clean the magnetic bar and the tank body. The slurry iron remover can automatically clean the component in the interior of the device, and can save operation and maintain manpower.

In the embodiment of the present application, before the cleaning column ring cleans the magnetic bar and the tank body, the cleaning column ring is fixedly disposed in the first region of the magnetic bar. If the cleaning column ring is located in the second region, it will prevent the slurry from entering the tank body, thereby affecting the effect of the magnetic bar on adsorbing the iron particles in the slurry. By setting the first restraint structure and the second restraint structure on the outer surface of the cleaning column ring and the inner surface of the tank body respectively, the first restraint structure cooperates with the second restraint structure, so as to realize the fixing of the cleaning column ring on the tank body, thereby ensuring normal operation of the slurry iron remover.

In the embodiment of the present application, the restraint block is disposed on the inner surface of the tank body, and the restraint groove is disposed on the outer surface of the cleaning column ring. The fixing of the cleaning column ring to the first region of the magnetic bar is realized through the cooperation of the restraint groove and the restraint block. This method has low cost, low energy consumption and good practical performance.
In one possible implementation manner, the restraint block moves out of the restraint groove so that the cleaning column ring moves along the axial direction of the magnetic bar.
In the embodiment of the present application, when the restraint block disposed on the inner surface of the tank body moves out of the restraint groove disposed on the outer surface of the cleaning column ring, the cleaning column ring starts to move along the axial direction of the magnetic bar, and the magnetic bar moves from the first region to the second region to start to clean the magnetic bar and the tank body. This method is simple in implementation and has strong operability.
In one possible implementation manner, the second restraint structure further includes a rotating mechanism, and the rotating mechanism is configured to rotate the restraint block so that the restraint block snaps into or moves out of the restraint groove.

The rotating mechanism is provided, and the rotating mechanism is configured to control the positional relationship between the restraint block and the restraint groove so as to control the fixation and movement of the cleaning column ring. This means is simple and convenient, and is beneficial for wide application in the production process.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first end of the tank body close to the first region is provided with the first air inlet. The second end of the tank body close to the second region is provided with the sewage outlet. When the first air inlet and the sewage outlet are opened, the cleaning column ring uses the power of the air to realize an automatic descending movement and starts to clean the magnetic bar and the tank body. In addition, by setting the sewage outlet, cleaning materials cleaned out by the cleaning column ring are discharged through a sewage pipeline.

In one possible implementation manner, a first breather is disposed on the sewage tank, and the first breather is configured to absorb gas in the sewage tank.
In the embodiment of the present application, setting the first breather on the sewage tank can not only achieve air pressure balance in the tank body to ensure that the cleaning column ring can normally descend along the axial direction of the magnetic bar during the cleaning process, but also can adsorb the slurry in the gas discharged from the tank body to prevent chemicals from being discharged to the outside, and further ensure safety during the production process.
In one possible implementation manner, the second end of the tank body is provided with a second air inlet, the first end of the tank body is provided with an air outlet, and the second air inlet and the air outlet are opened to allow the cleaning column ring to move toward the first end.
In the embodiment of the present application, the second end of the tank body is provided with the second air inlet, and the first end of the tank body is provided with the air outlet.

The device has a simple structure, a low failure rate, and does not require an additional mechanical structure.
In one possible implementation manner, a second breather is disposed on the air outlet, and the second breather is configured to absorb gas from the air outlet.
In the embodiment of the present application, setting the second breather on the air outlet can not only achieve air pressure balance in the tank body, so as to ensure that the cleaning column ring can normally ascend along the axial direction of the magnetic bar during the automatic ascending process, but also can adsorb the slurry discharged from the gas, so as to prevent chemicals from being discharged to the outside and ensure safety during the production process.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the slurry does not enter the tank body, the slurry iron remover does not adsorb the iron particles in the slurry, and the cleaning column ring is located in the first region. The slurry inlet and the slurry outlet are disposed in the second region, and the slurry inlet is disposed in the upper part of the second region, and the slurry outlet is disposed in the lower part of the second region. On the one hand, the slurry can be discharged from the tank body by means of its own gravity; on the other hand, the slurry can only cover the second region of the tank body, so as to keep the first region of the tank body clean, thereby reducing maintenance cost of the device.

In fields such as an energy storage device, liquid slurry is often used as raw material to produce the subsequent energy storage device. Since the raw material of the slurry itself contains a certain amount of iron components, there will be metal iron particles in the slurry, which will affect the quality of a subsequent battery product. Therefore, as the requirements for the energy storage device increase, people pay more and more attention to the problem of metal particles in the slurry, and also put forward growing requirements for an iron removal device.
With the further development of iron removal technology, new technologies come into being continuously in aspects of comprehensively improving iron removal effect and facilitating cleaning of iron particles. Permanent magnetic bar slurry iron removers in the related art usually use lifting and lowering iron removal components to complete an iron removal task. However, in the actual application process of this type of iron remover in a mechanical structure, it has a complex structure, a long operating cycle, and a high failure rate, which requires a plenty of manpower and cost for maintenance. In addition, when this type of iron remover cleans a magnetic bar inside a device, a cover needs to be opened, which takes up a lot of space. When the cover is opened, chemicals will be exposed, which causes harm to the health of the staff, and brings about some mechanical safety risks.
In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide a brand new slurry iron remover, which can not only enable the slurry iron remover to automatically clean slurry and improve iron removal effect and efficiency, but also can clean the interior of a device without opening the device and ensure safety of personnel and the device during the cleaning process, so as to achieve comprehensive integration of improving the iron removal effect and efficiency, cleaning the interior of the device conveniently and reducing device investment.
The tank body 11 is configured to contain the slurry 12. The magnetic bar 13 and the cleaning column ring 16 are included in the tank body 11. The tank body 11 may be a cylinder, a cuboid or other shapes, which is not limited in the present application.
The magnetic bar 13 is mainly configured to absorb iron-containing impurities and other energetic and magnetic substances in liquid, and is widely used in fields such as chemical industry, food, and waste recycling. The magnetic bar 13 is composed of an inner magnetic core and an outer cladding. The magnetic core is composed of a cylindrical magnet block and a conductive magnet iron sheet. A good magnetic bar 13 should have a uniform spatial distribution of magnetic induction lines, and the maximum magnetic induction intensity point distribution should fill the entire magnetic bar 13 as much as possible. The magnetic bar 13 should be smooth and have low resistance in surface, does not contain environmentally harmful substances and can avoid contamination of materials and environment.
The magnetic bar 13 may be a cylinder, a cuboid or other shapes, which is not limited in the present application.
In the above solution, the magnetic bar 13 is disposed in the tank body 11 to absorb iron particles in the slurry 12 contained in the tank body 11. The cleaning column ring 16 is disposed in the tank body 11 and surrounds the magnetic bar 13. In this way, when the cleaning column ring 16 moves along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13, the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13 can be cleaned, so as to enable the slurry iron remover 1 to automatically clean the iron particles in the slurry 12. The cleaning column ring 16 is fitted to the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13 to comprehensively clean the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13, so as to allow the slurry iron remover 1 to clean a component in the interior of a device by itself. Moreover, the device does not need to be opened in the process in which the slurry iron remover 1 cleans the interior of the device by itself. Therefore, on the one hand, no chemicals will be exposed to the air, which meets chemical safety requirements, and on the other hand, safety risks caused by opening the device can be reduced.
In the embodiment of the present application, the inner scraping diaphragm 162 and the outer scraping diaphragm 163 may be made of non-metallic solid materials, that is, a type of materials like plastic and rubber, or other materials, which is not limited in the present application.
The cleaning column ring 16 is disposed between the magnetic bar 13 and the tank body 11. Therefore, if only one cleaning component is provided on the cleaning column ring 16, both the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13 cannot be cleaned at the same time, so residual slurry 12 or metal iron particles will still exist in the interior of the device.
In the above solution, the inner scraping diaphragm 162 and the outer scraping diaphragm 163 are disposed in the cleaning column ring 16. The inner scraping diaphragm 162 is configured to clean the outer surface of the magnetic bar 13, and the outer scraping diaphragm 163 is configured to clean the inner surface of the tank body 11. By setting different cleaning components on the cleaning column ring 16, the inner surface of the tank body 11 and the outer surface of the magnetic bar 13 can be cleaned simultaneously, thereby improving self-cleaning effect of components such as the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13 in the slurry iron remover 1.
The cleaning column ring 16 surrounds the magnetic bar 13, that is, a part of the magnetic bar 13 in contact with the cleaning column ring 16 is completely covered by the cleaning column ring 16. If the inner scraping diaphragm 162 and the outer scraping diaphragm 163 disposed on the cleaning column ring 16 have a circular ring structure, the inner scraping diaphragm 162 can be enabled to surround the magnetic bar 13, and the outer scraping diaphragm 163 can be enabled to surround the cleaning column ring 16 and then be in complete contact with the inner surface of the tank body 11.
In the above solution, the cleaning column ring 16 is disposed in the tank body 11 and surrounds the magnetic bar 13. When the inner scraping diaphragm 162 and the outer scraping diaphragm 163 on the cleaning column ring 16 are both in a sheet-shaped circular ring structure, the inner scraping diaphragm 162 and the outer scraping diaphragm 163 can respectively clean all parts of the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13 to avoid an uncleaned region on the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13.
In the embodiment of the present application, the cleaning column ring 16 includes a plurality of inner scraping diaphragms 162 and a plurality of outer scraping diaphragms 163 distributed along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13.
During the cleaning process, the cleaning column ring 16 moves along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13 to clean the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13. The plurality of inner scraping diaphragms 162 and outer scraping diaphragms 163 are distributed along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13, that is, the plurality of inner scraping diaphragms 162 and outer scraping diaphragms 163 are disposed along the movement direction of the cleaning column ring 16.
In the above solution, the cleaning column ring 16 surrounds the magnetic bar 13. When the plurality of inner scraping diaphragms 162 and the plurality of outer scraping diaphragms 163 are distributed along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13, both the entire outer surface of the magnetic bar 13 and the inner surface of the tank body 11 can be cleaned by the inner scraping diaphragms 162 and the outer scraping diaphragms 163. Moreover, part of the outer surface region of the magnetic bar 13 and part of the inner surface region of the tank body 11 can be cleaned multiple times, and setting the plurality of inner scraping diaphragms 162 and outer scraping diaphragms 163 at the same time can improve the cleaning efficiency.
In the embodiment of the present application, before the slurry 12 enters the tank body 11, the cleaning column ring 16 is located in a first region of the magnetic bar 13; after the slurry 12 enters the tank body 11, the slurry 12 covers a second region of the tank body 11, and the first region and the second region do not overlap; and after the slurry 12 is discharged from the tank body 11, the cleaning column ring 16 moves into the second region along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13 to clean the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13.
The magnetic bar 13 is disposed in the tank body 11, so the first region of the magnetic bar 13 is equivalent to a first region of the tank body 11, and the second region of the tank body 13 is equivalent to a second region of the magnetic bar 11.
When there is no slurry 12 in the tank body 11, the cleaning column ring 16 is located at the upper part of the magnetic bar 13, that is, the first region. When the slurry 12 enters the tank body 11, the slurry 12 covers the second region of the tank body 11. When the slurry 12 is in the second region of the tank body 11, the magnetic bar 13 adsorbs the iron particles in the slurry 12. After the iron particles in the slurry 12 are adsorbed, cleanliness of the slurry 12 is improved, and the slurry 12 is discharged from the tank body 11.
In the above solution, the cleaning column ring 16 is disposed in the first region, and the slurry 12 covers the second region. After the slurry 12 is discharged from the tank body 11, the cleaning column ring 16 moves along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13, so that the cleaning column ring 16 moves from the first region to the second region to clean the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13. This kind of slurry iron remover 1 can automatically clean the component in the interior of the device, and can save operation and maintain manpower.
In the embodiment of the present application, an outer surface of the cleaning column ring 16 is provided with a first restraint structure 164, the inner surface of the tank body 11 is provided with a second restraint structure 111, and the first restraint structure 164 and the second restraint structure 111 are configured to fix the cleaning column ring 16 to the first region of the magnetic bar 13.
When the slurry 12 does not enter the tank body 11, that is, the slurry iron remover 1 does not absorb the iron particles in the slurry 12, the cleaning column ring 16 does not need to clean the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13, and the cleaning column ring 16 needs to be fixed in the first region of the magnetic bar 13. When there are metal iron particles in the slurry 12 that need to be cleaned, the slurry 12 enters the tank body 11 from the second region of the tank body 11 to use the magnetic bar 13 in the slurry iron remover 1 to absorb the iron particles in the slurry 12. The first region and the second region do not overlap.
In the above solution, before the process of cleaning the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13 by the cleaning column ring 16, the cleaning column ring 16 is fixedly disposed in the first region of the magnetic bar. If the cleaning column ring 16 is located in the second region at this time, it will prevent the slurry 12 containing metal particles from entering the tank body 11, thereby affecting the effect of the magnetic bar 13 on adsorbing the iron particles in the slurry 12. By setting the first restraint structure 164 and the second restraint structure 111 on the outer surface of the cleaning column ring 16 and the inner surface of the tank body 11 respectively, the cleaning column ring 16 can be fixed, thereby ensuring normal operation of the slurry iron remover 1.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first restraint structure 164 includes a restraint groove 1641, the second restraint structure 111 includes a restraint block 1111, and the restraint block 1111 snaps into the restraint groove 1641 to fix the cleaning column ring 16 to the first region of the magnetic bar 13.
In the above solution, the restraint block 1111 is disposed on the inner surface of the tank body 11, and the restraint groove 1641 is disposed on the outer surface of the cleaning column ring 16. The fixing of the cleaning column ring 16 to the first region of the magnetic bar 13 is realized through the cooperation of the restraint groove 1641 and the restraint block 1111. This method has low cost, low energy consumption and good practical performance.
In the embodiment of the present application, the restraint block 1111 moves out of the restraint groove 1641 so that the cleaning column ring 16 moves along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13.
In the above solution, when the restraint block 1111 disposed on the inner surface of the tank body 11 moves out of the restraint groove 1641 disposed on the outer surface of the cleaning column ring 16, the cleaning column ring 16 starts to move along the axial direction of the magnetic bar, and the magnetic bar 13 moves from the first region to the second region to start to clean the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13. This method is simple in implementation and has strong operability.
In the embodiment of the present application, the second restraint structure 111 further includes a rotating mechanism 1112, and the rotating mechanism 1112 is configured to rotate the restraint block 1111 so that the restraint block 1111 snaps into or moves out of the restraint groove 1641.
When the restraint block 1111 snaps into the restraint groove 1641, the cleaning column ring 16 is fixed in the first region of the magnetic bar 13, which does not prevent the slurry 12 from entering or discharging from the second region of the tank body 11. When the restraint block 1111 moves out of the restraint groove 1641, the cleaning column ring 16 moves along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13 to start the cleaning process. If it is desired to control the movement and fixation of the cleaning column ring 16 by the restraint block 1111 snapping into the restraint groove 1641 or moving out of the restraint groove 1641, another structure is needed to control the restraint block 1111 accordingly.
In the above solution, the rotating mechanism 1112 is provided, and the rotating mechanism 1112 is configured to control the positional relationship between the restraint block 1111 and the restraint groove 1641 so as to control the fixation and movement of the cleaning column ring 16. This means is simple and convenient, and is beneficial for wide application in the production process.
After the slurry 12 enters the tank body 11 to absorb the metal iron particles, the slurry 12 is discharged from the tank body 11, there will be residual slurry 12 in the tank body 11, and there will be adsorbed metal iron particles and a small amount of slurry 12 remaining on the magnetic bar 13. At this time, the first air inlet 112 and the sewage outlet 113 are opened, and then the rotating mechanism 1112 is rotated, so that the cleaning column ring 16 starts to move along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13 under the push of compressed air, and the inner scraping diaphragm 162 and the outer scraping diaphragm 163 on the cleaning column ring 16 start to clean the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13. When the cleaning column ring 16 descends to the bottom of the tank body 11, that is, after the cleaning process is completed, the first air inlet 112 and the sewage outlet 113 are closed.
In the above solution, the tank body 11 is sealed by a top cover to form a sealed space. The first end of the tank body 11 close to the first region is provided with the first air outlet 112, that is, an upper part outside the tank body 11 is provided with the first air outlet 112. The second end of the tank body 11 close to the second region is provided with the sewage outlet 113, that is, a lower part outside the tank body 11 is provided with the sewage outlet 113. When the first air inlet 112 and the sewage outlet 113 are opened, the cleaning column ring 16 uses the power of the air to realize an automatic descending movement and starts to clean the tank body 11 and the magnetic bar 13. In addition, by setting the sewage outlet 113, cleaning materials cleaned out by the cleaning column ring 16 are discharged through a sewage pipeline. The cleaning process and the sewage discharging process are all in contactless designs, and the device does not need to be opened, which can meet higher occupational health needs and device safety requirements.
In the embodiment of the present application, the slurry iron remover 1 further includes a sewage tank 114, where the sewage tank 114 is connected to the sewage outlet 113, and the sewage tank 114 is configured to collect cleaning materials of the cleaning column ring 16.
The sewage tank 114 may be a plastic container, a glass container, or a container made of other materials, as long as it is a container made of any material that meets the conditions for storing the slurry 12, which is not limited in the present application.
In the above solution, the first end of the tank body 11 is provided with the sewage outlet 113, and the sewage outlet 113 and the sewage tank 114 are connected through a pipeline. When the cleaning column ring 16 uses the air power to start the cleaning process, the sewage tank 114 cooperates with the sewage outlet 113 without opening the slurry iron remover 1 or contacting the slurry 12, so as to realize automatic sewage discharge.
In the embodiment of the present application, a first breather 1141 is disposed on the sewage tank 114, and the first breather 1141 is configured to absorb gas in the sewage tank 114.
The first breather 1141 is a new type of filtration device. It can filter particles and bacteria in a size above 0.22 μm in liquid, and has advantages such as high filtration precision, fast filtration speed, less adsorption, no media shedding, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and easy operation. It is now widely used in industries such as medicine, chemical industry, electronics, beverages, fruit wine, biochemical water treatment, and environmental protection. It is mainly used to prevent impurities and harmful bacteria and microorganisms in the air from entering a tank body, production lines, sterile room, etc., and causing changes in water quality, products and sterile room environment.
In the above solution, setting the first breather 1141 on the sewage tank 114 can not only achieve air pressure balance in the tank body 11 to ensure that the cleaning column ring 16 can normally descend along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13 during the cleaning process, but also can adsorb the slurry 12 in the gas discharged from the tank body 11 to prevent chemicals from being discharged to the outside, and further ensure safety during the production process.
When the cleaning column ring 16 descends to the bottom of the tank body 11, that is, after the cleaning process is completed, the cleaning column ring 16 needs to return to the first region of the magnetic bar 13 again. At this time, the second air inlet 115 and the second air outlet 116 are opened, so that the cleaning column ring 16 starts an ascending movement along the axial direction of the magnetic bar under the push of the compressed air. When the cleaning column ring 16 ascends in place, the rotating mechanism 1112 is rotated again so that the cleaning column ring 16 is fixed in the first region of the magnetic bar 13. After fixing the cleaning column ring 16, the ascending process of the cleaning column ring 16 is completed, and the second air inlet 115 and the air outlet 116 are closed.
In the above solution, the second end of the tank body 11 is provided with the second air inlet 115, and the first end of the tank body 11 is provided with the air outlet 116. When the second air inlet 115 and the air outlet 116 are opened, the cleaning column ring 16 uses the power of compressed air to realize automatic ascending movement and moves from the bottom of the tank body 11 to the first region of the magnetic bar 13. By controlling the second air inlet 115 and the air outlet 116, automatic ascending and descending movement of the cleaning column ring 16 in the device is realized. The device has a simple structure, a low failure rate, and does not require an additional mechanical structure.
In the embodiment of the present application, a second breather 1161 is further disposed on the air outlet 116, and the second breather 1161 is configured to absorb gas from the air outlet 116.
The second breather 1161 is the same as the first breather 1141 and will not be described in detail here.
In the above solution, setting the second breather 1161 on the air outlet 116 can not only achieve air pressure balance in the tank body 11, so as to ensure that the cleaning column ring 16 can normally ascend along the axial direction of the magnetic bar 13 during the automatic ascending process, but also can adsorb the slurry 12 discharged from the gas, so as to prevent chemicals from being discharged to the outside and ensure safety during the production process.
In the embodiment of the present application, the tank body 11 is provided with a slurry inlet 117 and a slurry outlet 118, the slurry inlet 117 is located at one end of the second region close to the first region, the slurry outlet 118 is located at one end of the second region away from the first region, the slurry inlet 117 is configured to introduce the slurry 12 into the tank body 11, and the slurry outlet 118 is configured to discharge the slurry 12 from the tank body 11.
When the slurry 12 does not enter the tank body 11, the slurry iron remover 1 does not adsorb the iron particles in the slurry 12. At this time, the cleaning column ring 16 is located in the first region of the magnetic bar 13. The outer scraping diaphragm 163 of the cleaning column ring 16 is fitted to the tank body 11, that is, a part of the tank body 11 occupied by the cleaning column ring 16 cannot allow the slurry 12 to enter the tank body 11.
In the above solution, the slurry inlet 117 and the slurry outlet 118 are disposed in the second region, and the slurry inlet 117 is disposed in the upper part of the second region, and the slurry outlet 118 is disposed in the lower part of the second region. On the one hand, the slurry 12 can be discharged from the tank body 11 by means of its own gravity; on the other hand, the slurry 12 can only cover the second region of the tank body 11, so as to keep the first region of the tank body 11 clean, thereby reducing maintenance cost of the device.
While the present application has been described with reference to some embodiments, various improvements may be made and equivalents may be used to substitute parts therein without departing from the scope of the present application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, technical features mentioned in various embodiments can be combined in any manner. The present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
