Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a loading platform for carrying cathode plates used in the production process of electrolytic zinc or manganese. Background Art

[0002] In the electrolytic metal zinc or manganese production process, a cathode plate carrying loading platform is used for the cathode plate automatic loading tank system. Before the electrolysis process, the cathode plate stripped of zinc or manganese in the stripping production line is first placed on the cathode plate carrying loading platform by a manipulator, and then the transport crane transports the loading platform to the top of the electrolytic cell. After the electrolysis process is completed, the manipulator takes out the cathode plate from the electrolytic cell and places it on the loading platform, and then the previous cathode plate is sent into the electrolytic cell by the manipulator for electrolysis, and then the transport crane transports the loading platform to the stripping production line, and the manipulator sends the cathode plate on the loading platform to the loading device of the stripping production line, and the zinc or manganese on the cathode plate is stripped by the stripping production line, and the cathode plate stripped of zinc or manganese is unloaded by the unloading device of the stripping production line. The loading platform for carrying the cathode plate includes a frame, a first material rack mechanism, a second material rack mechanism and a driver. The first material rack mechanism and the second material rack mechanism are connected by a connecting plate. The first material rack mechanism and the second material rack mechanism are located in the frame. The driver is hinged with the frame. The piston rod of the driver is hinged with the connecting plate. The first material rack mechanism and the second material rack mechanism can move in the frame driven by the driver. Due to the limitation of the size, structure and workshop space of the loading platform, the above operation procedure can only load half a tank of cathode plates at a time. The cathode plates of one tank have to be shipped twice, so the time is long, which reduces the electrolysis time. Therefore, it not only affects the electrolysis efficiency, but also reduces the output. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a loading platform for carrying cathode plates, which can carry multiple cathode plates at one time, thereby improving loading efficiency, increasing electrolysis time, and increasing output.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a loading platform for carrying cathode plates, comprising a frame, a first material rack mechanism and a second material rack mechanism, the frame is rectangular, comprising a front crossbeam, a rear crossbeam, a left longitudinal beam and a right longitudinal beam, the left longitudinal beam and the right longitudinal beam are respectively provided with a left guide rail and a right guide rail, the first material rack mechanism and the second material rack mechanism have the same structure, the first material rack mechanism and the second material rack mechanism are symmetrically arranged at the front side and the rear side of the frame, and the first material rack mechanism and the second material rack mechanism can move on the left guide rail and the right guide rail of the frame;

[0005] The first material rack mechanism comprises a left driver, a right driver, a first crossbeam, a left slider, a right slider, and several short longitudinal beams. The left end and the right end of the first crossbeam are respectively provided with a left beam and a right beam, the several short longitudinal beams are evenly distributed between the left beam and the right beam, and the rear ends of the several short longitudinal beams are respectively arranged on the first crossbeam, and the front end surfaces of the several short longitudinal beams are respectively provided with front brackets, the front bracket includes notches respectively provided on both sides of the upper part, and the first crossbeam is provided with a plurality of rear brackets, and the notches respectively provided on both sides of the upper part of the rear bracket correspond to the notches respectively provided on both sides of the upper part of the front bracket; the left slider and the right slider are respectively arranged on the left beam and the right beam, the left slider and the right slider are respectively located on the left guide rail and the right guide rail, the left driver and the right driver are respectively arranged on the left end portion and the right end portion of the rear crossbeam, and the left driver and the right driver are respectively connected to the left slider and the right slider; the connection structure of the second material rack mechanism and the front crossbeam, the left guide rail and the right guide rail is symmetrical with the connection structure of the first material rack mechanism and the rear crossbeam, the left guide rail and the right guide rail.

[0006] The number of short longitudinal beams provided on the first material rack mechanism and the second material rack mechanism is the same as the number of half-slot pole plates.

[0007] The front bracket is a T-shaped structure, which includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The vertical plate is located in the center of the lower side of the horizontal plate. The left notch and the right notch of the front bracket are respectively provided on both sides of the upper side of the horizontal plate. The vertical plate is arranged on the front end surface of the short longitudinal beam. The upper part of the rear bracket is provided with the same left notch and right notch as the front bracket, and the left notch and the right notch of the front bracket correspond to the left notch and the right notch of the upper part of the rear bracket respectively.

[0010] The left driver and the right driver are both air cylinders, oil cylinders or electric actuators.

[0011] In the above-mentioned loading platform for cathode plate transportation, since the first material rack mechanism and the second material rack mechanism adopt a cantilever beam structure for loading cathode plates, taking the first rack mechanism as an example, the manipulator can place one end of a half-trough cathode plate on one side notch of the upper part of the front bracket of several short longitudinal beams, and place the other end of a group of cathode plates on one side notch of the upper part of several rear brackets provided on the first crossbeam; similarly, the manipulator can place one end of the other half-trough cathode plate on the other side notch of the upper part of the front bracket of several short longitudinal beams, and place the other end of a group of cathode plates on the other side notch of the upper part of several rear brackets provided on the first crossbeam; under the condition that the existing frame size remains unchanged, one tank of cathode plates can be loaded, so that one tank of cathode plates can be shipped at a time within the same existing shipping time, which is half the time compared with the existing technology of shipping in two times, thereby improving the shipping efficiency, increasing the electrolysis time, and increasing the output, which is a major technological innovation.

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention discloses a loading platform for cathode plate transportation, comprising a frame, a first material rack mechanism 19 and a second material rack mechanism 20. The frame is rectangular, and comprises a front cross beam 13, a rear cross beam 17, a left longitudinal beam 14 and a right longitudinal beam 11. A left guide rail 15 and a right guide rail 12 are respectively provided on the left longitudinal beam 14 and the right longitudinal beam 11. The first material rack mechanism 19 and the second material rack mechanism 20 have the same structure. The first material rack mechanism 19 and the second material rack mechanism 20 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the frame. The first material rack mechanism 19 and the second material rack mechanism 20 can move on the left guide rail 15 and the right guide rail 12 of the frame.

[0018] The first rack mechanism 19 and the second rack mechanism 20 have the same structure. Now, taking the first rack mechanism 19 as an example, a detailed description is given: the first rack mechanism 19 includes a left driver 1, a right driver 9, a first crossbeam 6, a left slider 16, a right slider 10, and a plurality of short longitudinal beams 4. The left end and the right end of the first crossbeam 6 are respectively provided with a left beam 2 and a right beam 8. The plurality of short longitudinal beams 4 are evenly distributed between the left beam 2 and the right beam 8, and the rear ends of the plurality of short longitudinal beams 4 are respectively arranged on the first crossbeam 6. The front end surfaces of the plurality of short longitudinal beams 4 are respectively provided with front brackets 5, and the front brackets 5 include notches respectively provided on both sides of the upper part. The first crossbeam 6 is respectively provided with a plurality of rear brackets 7, and the notches respectively provided on both sides of the upper part of the rear bracket 7 correspond to the notches respectively provided on both sides of the upper part of the front bracket 5. The left slider 16 and the right slider 10 are respectively provided on the left beam 2 and the right beam 8. The left slider 16 and the right slider 10 are respectively located on the left guide rail 15 and the right guide rail 12. The left driver 1 and the right driver 9 are respectively arranged at the left end and the right end of the rear cross beam 17. The left driver 1 and the right driver 9 are respectively connected to the left slider 16 and the right slider 10. The connection structure of the second rack mechanism 20 with the front cross beam 13, the left guide rail 15 and the right guide rail 12 is symmetrical to the connection structure of the first rack mechanism 19 with the rear cross beam 17, the left guide rail 15 and the right guide rail 12.

[0019] According to the specific conditions of the electrolytic cell, in this embodiment, the number of short longitudinal beams 4 provided on the first material rack mechanism 19 and the second material rack mechanism 20 is the same as the number of cathode plates in the half cell.

[0020] In order to simplify the structure and reduce the cost, the front bracket 5 is a T-shaped structure, which includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The vertical plate is located at the center of the lower side of the horizontal plate. The left notch 21 of the front bracket and the right notch 22 of the front bracket are respectively provided on both sides of the upper side of the horizontal plate. The vertical plate is arranged on the front end surface of the short longitudinal beam 4. The upper part of the rear bracket 7 is provided with the same left notch 23 and right notch 24 as the front bracket 5, and the left notch 21 and the right notch 22 of the front bracket correspond to the left notch 23 and the right notch 24 of the upper part of the rear bracket 7, respectively.

[0021] For the convenience of loading, the left notch and the right notch are both U-shaped notches.

[0022] In order to facilitate manufacturing and reduce costs, the plurality of rear brackets 7 are divided into at least two groups, and each group of rear brackets 7 is made into an integral structure.

[0023] In order to reduce costs and improve interchangeability, the left driver 1 and the right driver 9 are both air cylinders, oil cylinders or electric actuators.

[0024] When the above-mentioned loading platform for cathode plate transportation is in use, the first material rack mechanism 19 and the second material rack mechanism 20 of the loading platform can respectively carry a slot of cathode plates. Before the end of the electrolysis process, the robot can sequentially move the cathode plates 3 with no zinc or manganese on the surface to the front bracket 5 and the rear bracket 7 of the first material rack mechanism 19, and the second material rack mechanism 20 is empty, and then the transport crane transports the above-mentioned loading platform to the top of the electrolytic cell. After the electrolysis process is completed, the robot takes out the cathode plate of half a slot from the electrolytic cell and places it on the half empty position of the second rack mechanism 20 of the loading platform. Then the robot sends the cathode plate 3 of the half slot with no zinc or manganese on the surface on the first rack mechanism 19 into the electrolytic cell. Then the robot takes out the cathode plate of the other half slot from the electrolytic cell and places it on the other half empty position of the second rack mechanism 20. Then the robot sends the cathode plate 3 of the other half slot with no zinc or manganese on the surface on the first rack mechanism 19 into the electrolytic cell. In the above process, the first rack mechanism 19 and the second rack mechanism 20 are driven by the driver to move forward or backward along the left guide rail 15 and the right guide rail 12 to cooperate with the robot to take out and put in the cathode plate. Finally, the transport crane transports the loading platform to the stripping production line, and the robot moves the cathode plate on the loading platform into the stripping production line to strip the zinc or manganese on the surface of the cathode plate. After the stripping, the robot moves the cathode plates without zinc or manganese on the surface to the front bracket 5 and the rear bracket 7 of the first material rack mechanism 19 in turn, and the subsequent operation procedures are the same as above.

[0025] From the above, it can be seen that the above-mentioned cathode plate conveying loading platform can carry one tank of cathode plates while keeping the existing frame size unchanged. Under the same shipping time as now, one tank of cathode plates can be shipped at one time, which is half the time compared with the existing technology of shipping in two times. Therefore, the shipping efficiency is improved, the electrolysis time is increased, and the output is increased. It is a major equipment technology innovation in the electrolytic zinc or manganese production process.

[0026] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
