Automatic stacking machine and method for cathode copper

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of cathode copper stacking, and provides an automatic stacking machine and method for cathode copper. The stacking machine comprises a rack, a clad clamping mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a walking mechanism and a control mechanism. The clad clamping mechanism comprises an air cylinder lifting base and a clamping air cylinder. The lifting mechanism comprises a lifting motor, a speed reducer, a lifting transmission shaft, a commutator and a ball screw. The walking mechanism comprises walking wheels, a walking speed reducer and a motor. The control mechanism comprises a controller, a copper clad arrival limiting photoelectric sensor, an air cylinder loosening photoelectric sensor, an air cylinder up-down limiting photoelectric sensor, a stacking machine front-back limiting photoelectric sensor, an air cylinder loosening limiting photoelectric sensor, an air cylinder lower limit mechanical limiting switch and an Nth clad detection diffuse reflection photoelectric switch. According to the method, when the number of cathode copper clads on a copper stacking frame reaches the preset number N, the stacking machine is controlled to stop working, and an alarm is given to inform a forklift. Full-automatic stacking of the cathode copper clads can be achieved, the cathode copper stacking efficiency is improved, and the forking frequency and labor intensity of subsequent forking operation are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cathode copper palletizing, in particular to an automatic cathode copper palletizing machine and an automatic palletizing method. Background technique [0002] The electrolytic refining of copper (also known as wet smelting) is to pour the copper refined by the fire method into an anode plate, use stainless steel as the permanent cathode plate, and put them in the electrolytic cell alternately, and use the aqueous solution of copper sulfate and sulfuric acid as the electrolyte. Under the action of direct current, the copper on the anode and the base metal with negative potential are electrochemically dissolved into the electrolyte. At the cathode, copper ions get electrons, crystallize out at the cathode, and obtain the product cathode copper. [0003] The cathode copper obtained by electrolytic refining needs to be packaged first, and then transported to the finished product warehouse. In the existing ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The existing cathode copper palletizing device mainly grabs and stacks the cathode copper plates before packing, the grabbing efficiency is low, and the degree of automation is not high, and the cathode copper packets cannot be automatically palletized, resulting in low palletizing efficiency
