[0052] The qualified copper plate stack transfer mechanism 5 includes a transfer mechanism support frame 51, the ends of the two-stage conveying chain 12 and the starting end of the copper plate stack conveying mechanism 7 are both located below the two ends of the transfer mechanism support frame 51, and a track 511 is arranged on the transfer mechanism support frame 51, and the track 511 is used for the copper plate stack hoisting vehicle 52 to travel, and the first lifting device 53 and the second lifting device 54 are respectively arranged below the two ends of the transfer mechanism support frame 51, and the first lifting device 53 and the second lifting device 54 are respectively located below the cathode copper receiving conveying chain 1 and the inner side of the copper plate stack conveying mechanism 7.

The copper plate stack hoisting vehicle 52 includes a hoisting vehicle body 521 and a fork arm 522, and the hoisting vehicle body 521 is driven by a motor to move on the transfer mechanism support frame 51, and the fork arm 522 is arranged on both sides of the hoisting vehicle body 521, and the fork arm 522 is L-shaped.

[0053] The defective copper plate stack stacking mechanism 6 includes two oppositely arranged stacking mechanism support frames 61, and the stacking mechanism support frames 61 are located above the copper plate stack conveying mechanism 7. A defective copper plate stack support frame 62 is slidably arranged on the inner side of the stacking mechanism support frame 61. The defective copper plate stack support frame 62 is driven to slide by a supporting cylinder arranged on the stacking mechanism support frame 61. A lifting cylinder is arranged below the two stacking mechanism support frames 61, and a defective copper plate stack receiving frame 63 is arranged above the lifting cylinder.

[0054] As a specific implementation, in order to make the defective copper plate stack receiving rack 63 more stable, a frame can be set under the defective copper plate stack receiving rack 63, such as Fig.11 shown.

[0055] As another specific implementation, according to the model and use requirements of the jacking cylinder used, when the stroke of the jacking cylinder is large, the bottom of the jacking cylinder can be set below the plane where the stacking mechanism support frame 61 is located, such as Fig.12 shown.

[0056] The copper plate stack conveying mechanism 7 is a three-stage chain conveying structure. The three-stage conveying structure can provide a buffer time for the subsequent processing of cathode copper.

[0057] The method for using the cathode copper plate selection and classification conveying device comprises the following steps:

[0058] Step 1: After a section of the cathode copper receiving conveyor chain 11 receives and starts conveying cathode copper, the identification mechanism takes a photo of the cathode copper for analysis to determine whether the cathode copper is a defective product. If it is determined to be a defective product, the lifting mechanism 2 lifts the defective copper plate 8, and the grabbing mechanism 4 grabs the defective copper plate 8 and places it on the defective copper plate stack support frame 62 of the defective copper plate stacking mechanism 6;

[0059] Step 2: When the qualified copper plate 9 is transported to the end of a first conveyor chain 11 of the cathode copper receiving conveyor chain 1, the conveying frame 102 of the qualified copper plate conveying mechanism 10 moves along the conveying mechanism support frame 101 toward the second conveyor chain 12. At this time, the conveying plate 103 pushes the qualified copper plate 9 to move to the qualified copper plate support of the stacking mechanism 3.

[0060] Since a baffle 104 is provided outside the conveying plate 103, the shape of the conveying plate 103 on the side close to the baffle 104 matches the baffle 104. Therefore, although the conveying plate 103 is rotatably arranged on the conveying frame 102, when the conveying frame 102 moves toward the direction of the second-stage conveying chain 12, the rear of the conveying plate 103 (with the direction of conveying qualified copper plates as the front) will not rotate backward due to the resistance of the baffle 104, and the conveying plate 103 can be driven by the conveying frame 102 to push the qualified copper plates 9 to move in the direction of the second-stage conveying chain 12. Next, the conveying frame 102 returns and moves along the conveying mechanism support frame 101 to the top of a section of conveying chain 11 and makes the conveying plate 103 located behind the qualified copper plate 9. Since the conveying plate 103 is rotatably arranged on the conveying frame 102, when the conveying frame 102 moves along the conveying mechanism support frame 101 to the top of a section of conveying chain 11, although the lower end of the conveying plate 102 is lower than the qualified copper plate 9, there is no resistance in front of the conveying plate 103, so the conveying plate 103 rotates forward, so that the conveying mechanism 10 is smoothly reset.

[0061] Then, the qualified copper plate support is lowered according to the height of the qualified copper plate 9. Specifically, the qualified copper plate support is lowered by the height of one qualified copper plate 9 each time it receives a qualified copper plate 9. After the qualified copper plates 9 on the qualified copper plate support reach the specified number to form a qualified copper plate stack, the driving device 24 drives the qualified copper plate support to descend so that the qualified copper plate stack is placed on the second-stage conveying chain 12. Then, the second-stage conveying chain 12 conveys the qualified copper plate stack to the top of the first lifting device 53 of the qualified copper plate stack transfer mechanism 5. The first lifting device 53 lifts the qualified copper plate stack to the top of the qualified copper plate stack. The copper plate stack hoisting vehicle 52 drives in, the fork arm 522 holds the qualified copper plate stack, and the copper plate stack hoisting vehicle 52 moves along the track 511. When the qualified copper plate stack is above the second lifting device 54 of the qualified copper plate stack transfer mechanism 5, the second lifting device 54 lifts the qualified copper plate stack and moves the qualified copper plate stack down to the copper plate stack conveying mechanism 7. Then, the copper plate stack hoisting vehicle 52 drives toward the first lifting device 53 and carries out the hoisting and transportation of the next qualified copper plate stack. The copper plate stack conveying mechanism 7 transports the qualified copper plate stack to the cathode copper warehouse;

[0062] Step 3: After the defective copper plates 8 on the defective copper plate stack support frame 62 are piled up to the specified number, the lifting cylinder drives the defective copper plate stack receiving frame 63 to lift the defective copper plates 8, and then the supporting cylinder drives the defective copper plate stack support frame 63 to separate, and the defective copper plate stack moves down to the copper plate stack conveying mechanism 7 with the lifting cylinder, and the copper plate stack conveying mechanism 7 continues to convey the defective copper plate stack.

[0063] The oil cylinders in the cathode copper plate selection and classification conveying device are all provided with signals transmitted by position sensors and are controlled by a PLC system.

[0064] The embodiments described above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structures, features and principles described in the patent scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
