Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrolytic cell equipment, and in particular to a structure and method for pushing plates, expanding distances and preventing plates from falling off. Background Art

[0002] The electrolytic refining of copper is to cast the fire-refined copper into anode plates, use stainless steel cathode plates as cathodes, and alternately load them into the electrolytic cell. The aqueous solution of copper sulfate and sulfuric acid is used as the electrolyte. Under the action of direct current, the copper on the anode and the base metal with a more negative potential are electrochemically dissolved into the electrolyte, while the precious metals are insoluble and become anode mud and sink to the bottom of the electrolytic cell. At the cathode, the copper ions obtain electrons and crystallize and precipitate at the cathode to obtain the product cathode copper. The electrolytic cathode cycle is 8-10 days, and the anode cycle is 18-19 days. After a cathode cycle, the cathode is transported to the cathode stripping unit by a crane, and the stripped cathode copper is weighed, packaged and sent to the finished product warehouse. The stainless steel cathode is re-arranged and hoisted back to the electrolytic cell.

[0003] After the cathode copper is hoisted to the flaking unit, since a large amount of copper sulfate electrolyte is still attached to the surface, it needs to be cleaned with warm water and steam before it can be flaked and packaged for takeout. However, since the distance between each cathode plate on the unit is less than 10CM, the cathode copper surface cannot be effectively cleaned when spraying water on both sides at the cleaning station due to the narrow distance. As a result, the produced cathode copper quickly precipitates copper sulfate on the surface due to the temperature drop, affecting the quality of the cathode copper. The current treatment plan is to expand the cathode copper spacing from 10CM to 30CM by asynchronously transmitting through two chains before cleaning the cathode copper.

[0004] The asynchronous transmission process is carried out through a track push plate device. The cathode copper relies on the conductive end to hang on the front chain for stepping transmission. When the cathode copper reaches the edge of the chain and the chain begins to rotate and fall, the conductive ends extending from both ends of the cathode copper detach from the chain and are placed on the platform of the track push plate. The track push plate then moves parallel to the chain tooth recess on the side of the chain on the other side. The chain begins to rotate upward, and the chain supports the conductive end of the cathode plate to lift it to the top and step into the cleaning station. However, since the chain on the other side may not move accurately or become loose, it is often unable to support the cathode copper and lift it from the side to the top, resulting in the cathode copper being dislocated or falling off. The production line needs to be stopped for manual processing, which has a great impact on production. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a structure and method for pushing a plate to expand the distance and prevent the plate from falling off.

[0008] The track push plate device includes a cross bar, a vertical bar, an inclined track and a pushing mechanism; both ends of the cross bar are provided with vertical bars that can move up and down, and the lower ends of the vertical bars are provided with plate supports; both sides of the fixed frame are provided with inclined tracks, and the inclined tracks are inclined upward from the end close to the front chain device to the end close to the rear chain device; the lower ends of the vertical bars on both sides are respectively in contact with the inclined tracks on both sides and can move along the inclined tracks; the pushing mechanism is connected to the cross bar and can push the cross bar to move forward and backward.

[0012] Furthermore, a pulley is provided at the bottom of the vertical rod.

[0013] The present invention also provides a method for utilizing the above structure, the specific process is as follows:

[0014] The cathode plate is transported to the front side of the front-end chain device, and the inner sides of the conductive ends on both sides of the cathode plate are inserted into the chain tooth recesses of the front-end chain devices on both sides. The front-end chain device transports the cathode plate to the rear side by rotating until the outer sides of the conductive ends on both sides of the cathode plate just fall into the plate supports at the lower ends of the vertical rods on both sides; at this time, the pushing mechanism starts to push the cross bar forward, and the vertical rods on both sides move upward while moving forward under the guidance of the inclined track, and directly reach the upper part of the rear-end chain device, until the inner sides of the conductive ends on both sides of the cathode plate just fit into the chain tooth recesses of the upper part of the rear-end chain devices on both sides, and at this time, the rear-end chain device takes the cathode plate away by rotating; after completing the transportation of one cathode plate, the pushing mechanism drives the cross bar to move back, and the vertical rods gradually fall back to their original positions under the guidance of the inclined track under the action of gravity.
