Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic zinc production and processing, and in particular to a dual-station electrolytic zinc production device. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrometallurgical zinc refining, as the mainstream modern zinc smelting process, accounts for more than 80% of global zinc production due to its advantages such as strong resource adaptability, environmental friendliness, and low energy consumption. Its core processes include zinc concentrate roasting, leaching, purification, electrowinning, and high-purity zinc preparation. Among these, the electrowinning process is the key step determining zinc metal recovery rate and production efficiency. Traditional electrowinning processes employ a single electrolytic cell system, using a lead-based alloy as the anode and rolled pure aluminum plate as the cathode. Zinc is deposited at the cathode in a zinc sulfate-sulfuric acid electrolyte through the action of direct current.

[0003] In the subsequent production stages of hydrometallurgical zinc refining, the actual efficiency of the zinc stripping process has become a key factor restricting the efficient operation of the entire production process. Once zinc sheets have deposited to a certain thickness on the cathode plate, they need to be peeled off so that the cathode plate can be reused for further electrolytic reactions. Currently, the industry commonly uses manual zinc stripping and some mechanical zinc stripping equipment. Manual zinc stripping is not only labor-intensive and involves harsh working conditions, but it is also slow, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. While existing mechanical zinc stripping equipment has improved efficiency to some extent, it still has many problems in practical applications. For example, in actual production equipment, the stripping speed of zinc sheets from the cathode plate is slow, failing to achieve high-efficiency output. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the slitting machine includes a slitting electric telescopic rod, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a slitting plate, and the inner end face of the slitting plate is provided with a slitting groove.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: Improving production efficiency: The device features two parallel feeding and unloading components on the operating platform, enabling simultaneous operation of both feeding and unloading stations. Compared to single-station production units, it can process more material in the same amount of time, significantly improving the production efficiency of electrolytic zinc and meeting the needs of large-scale production. Furthermore, the large-blade robot, small-blade robot, and plate brushing machine are all configured with dual stations, further enhancing the device's production efficiency. The unloading device, handling robot, pitch-adjusting component, feeding component, and unloading component work together to form an automated production process. The handling robot can quickly and accurately move materials between different stations, and the pitch-adjusting component can adjust the material spacing according to production needs, reducing manual intervention and material transfer time, further improving overall production efficiency.

[0012] Precise control of the variable pitch assembly: Through the coordinated operation of components such as the rodless cylinder, main slide rail, main sliding block, moving plate, first vertical electric cylinder, auxiliary slide rail, auxiliary slider, connecting rod, second vertical electric cylinder, and electric telescopic rod, the variable pitch assembly can precisely control the position and spacing of the V-shaped plates. This allows for precise adjustments based on actual needs when handling materials of different specifications, ensuring accurate placement and transfer of materials during production, thus improving product quality and production stability. Small and large knife robots play crucial roles in the production process. The small knife robot can precisely perform preliminary processing of materials on the feeding conveyor belt, while the large knife robot can perform more precise operations on materials on the gear conveyor belt.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] First embodiment like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the dual-station electrolytic zinc production device of this embodiment includes an operating platform 1. The operating platform 1 is equipped with two parallel feeding and unloading components. A discharge device is located on the left side of the feeding component. A handling robot 2 is located between the discharge device and the unloading component. A pitch-changing component is located between the discharge device and the feeding component. The pitch-changing component includes a pitch-changing bracket 301. A rodless cylinder 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the pitch-changing bracket 301. Main slide rails 303 are located on both sides of the rodless cylinder 302. Main sliding blocks 304 are fixedly connected to the side faces of the main slide rails 303. A moving plate 305 is fixedly connected to the lower face of the main sliding blocks 304. A first vertical electric cylinder 306 is fixedly connected to the front of the lower face of the moving plate 305. An auxiliary slide rail 307 is fixedly connected to the rear side of cylinder 306. An auxiliary slider 308 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the auxiliary slide rail 307. A connecting rod 314 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the auxiliary slider 308. A second vertical electric cylinder 309 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the connecting rod 314. An electric telescopic rod 310 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower end face of the moving plate 305. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 310 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the connecting rod 314. A connecting plate 311 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of both the first vertical electric cylinder 306 and the second vertical electric cylinder 309. A V-shaped plate 312 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 311. A reinforcing rib 313 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper end face of the V-shaped plate 312. The side end face of the reinforcing rib 313 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 311.

The rodless cylinder 302, fixed at the top of the variable pitch bracket 301, operates, driving the main sliding block 304 to move left and right along the main slide rail 303. Since the lower end face of the main sliding block 304 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 305, the moving plate 305 will move horizontally accordingly, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the entire variable pitch assembly so that the V-shaped plate 312 can reach the position where materials need to be gripped or placed.

Through the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 310, the connecting rod 314 can be moved along the auxiliary slide rail 307, thereby adjusting the distance between the first vertical electric cylinder 306 and the second vertical electric cylinder 309, which in turn adjusts the spacing between the two V-shaped plates 312. This allows for precise adjustment of the material spacing according to the requirements of different material specifications, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the materials during subsequent processing.

[0023] The reinforcing rib 313 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper end face of the V-shaped plate 312, and the side end face of the reinforcing rib 313 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 311, which enhances the structural strength and stability of the V-shaped plate 312. During the gripping and handling of materials, the V-shaped plate 312 can withstand the weight of the materials and external forces, and is not easily deformed, ensuring the reliability of material handling.

[0024] The material handling robot 2 is positioned between the discharge device and the unloading assembly, playing a crucial role in material transfer.

Small knife robots 404, located on both sides of the left end of the feeding conveyor belt, perform preliminary processing on the materials on the feeding conveyor belt 401, such as cutting and sorting, ensuring the materials meet the requirements for subsequent processes.

[0029] The unloading assembly includes an unloading conveyor belt 601, a brushing machine 602, an unloading trolley 603, and an unloading fixing frame 604. The material processed in the electrolytic zinc production process is cleaned by the brushing machine 602.

The cleaned material is placed on the unloading conveyor belt 601, and the unloading trolley 603 slides on the unloading conveyor belt 601, transporting the material to a designated location. The material is then fixed by the unloading fixing frame 604 for subsequent storage or further processing.

[0030] The main control cabinet 7 is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the upper end of the operating platform 1. The main control cabinet 7 is electrically connected to the brushing machine 602, the handling robot 2, the large knife robot 502, the small knife robot 404, the slitting machine, the zinc sheet unloading and stacking conveyor line 503, the unloading conveyor belt 601, and the loading conveyor belt 401.

[0033] When the large-blade robot peels the zinc sheet off the cathode plate, the plate separator will assist in fixing the cathode plate to prevent it from being scratched.

[0034] Specific instructions for use: First, place the galvanized cathode plate on the loading rack 403. The loading trolley 402 will drive the cathode plate to move to the left on the loading conveyor belt 401. When it moves into the working range of the small knife robot 404, the small knife robot 404 will lift up the galvanized side of the cathode plate to facilitate the subsequent zinc scraping by the large knife robot 502.

The power supply to the electric cylinder 309 causes the lower V-shaped plate 312 to retract upwards. The rodless cylinder 302 is activated, causing the moving plate 305 to move to the right. After reaching the appropriate position, the first vertical electric cylinder 306 is activated, causing the lower V-shaped plate 312 to retract upwards to support the cathode plate on the loading rack 403. After supporting the first cathode plate, the power supply to the second vertical electric cylinder 309 is activated again to retract the lower V-shaped plate 312 upwards, using the rodless cylinder 302 to... The moving plate 305 moves to support the second cathode plate. After supporting both cathode plates, the rodless cylinder 302 is activated, transferring the cathode plates onto the gear conveyor belt 501. During this process, the user can open the switch of the electric telescopic rod 310 to adjust the distance between the two cathode plates, preventing them from getting too close and hindering the large-blade robot 502 from scraping zinc. When the cathode plates move into the working range of the large-blade robot 502, the large-blade robot 502 will scrape the cathode plates... The raised zinc plate is scraped off. During the scraping process, the electric telescopic rod 801 will drive the plate 802 to move upward, so that the plate slot 803 is inserted into both sides of the cathode plate to prevent the cathode plate from shaking. After the scraping is completed, the zinc plate will move from the zinc sheet unloading and stacking conveyor line 503 to the stacking area. The cathode plate will be transferred to the unloading fixed frame 604 by the handling robot 2. When passing through the plate brushing machine 602, the dual-station plate brushing machine will also clean the two cathode plates together to improve the efficiency of the device.
