Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent vehicle technology, and more specifically to an online short-circuit elimination system and method for electrolytic copper plates. Background Technology

[0002] The smelting of high-impurity copper concentrate produces high-impurity copper anode plates, which require further electrolytic refining. During electrolytic refining, impurities in the copper anode plates dissolve or remain dissolved, directly detaching into the electrolyte. This electrolytic refining process, due to the precipitation of impurities from the anode plates, produces anode mud that is suspended or semi-suspended in the electrolyte. Disturbance from manual operations on the electrolytic cell surface and the passage of electrolysis time inevitably lead to the growth of "particles" on the cathode surface. As these "particles" grow further, when they reach a sufficient length, they directly contact the anode surface, forming a short circuit. This short circuit results in ineffective power consumption due to electrode heating or ablation, and sometimes also causes the already grown cathode copper on the cathode plate to re-dissolve, thus reducing cathode copper production. Furthermore, due to differences in operator skill, there is also the possibility of electrode plate open circuits (i.e., disconnected state, no power supply) during plate loading. This results in ineffective operations where the anode plate does not dissolve and cathode copper does not grow on the cathode plate surface, which is highly detrimental to improving the yield of electrolytic cathode copper and operational efficiency.

[0003] Currently, in China's copper smelting and refining industry, short-circuit or open-circuit faults in the electrode plates of electrolytic cells are detected and judged manually using handheld gaussmeters. This method is labor-intensive and suffers from uncontrollability and unreliability. Furthermore, manually walking and scanning the electrolytic cell surface with a handheld gaussmeter can cause anode mud to detach from the plates, disturbing the electrolyte and leading to suspended anode mud that fails to settle or settles poorly. This can result in particles growing on the surface of the cathode copper, directly affecting the final cathode copper yield and quality, further exacerbating electrode plate faults, and hindering efficient copper electrolysis and the improvement of cathode copper product quality and specifications. In addition, after manually identifying a faulty electrode plate, manual intervention is required to eliminate the fault, significantly reducing the efficiency of copper electrolysis production.

[0004] Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide an automatic online short-circuit elimination system for electrolytic copper plates to replace manual identification and handling is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0052] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] This invention discloses an online short-circuit elimination system for electrolytic copper plates based on intelligent vehicles. The online short-circuit elimination system for electrolytic copper plates provided by this invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] On one hand, the present invention provides an online short-circuit elimination system for electrolytic copper plates based on intelligent vehicles, including an electrolytic cell 1, and further including:

[0055] A copper plate short-circuit identification system is used to identify short-circuited electrolytic copper plates, wherein the electrolytic copper plates are electrolyzed in an electrolytic cell;

[0056] Intelligent trolley 5 is used to move the plate transport system above the short-circuited electrolytic copper electrode plate;

[0057] Plate transport system 2 is used to remove and return the short-circuited electrolytic copper plate;

[0058] A particle milling system for milling the short-circuited electrolytic copper electrode plate;

[0059] The central processor is used to control the copper plate short-circuit identification system, the intelligent trolley system, the plate transport system, and the particle milling system.

[0060] For the copper plate short-circuit identification system, this invention adopts the fault identification system described in the patent No. 201110442601.4, "A Device and Method for Improving the Accuracy of Fault Information Judgment for Copper Electrolytic Plates." The method for automatically determining fault information of electrolytic copper plates proposed in this patent is as follows: an infrared thermal imager is installed above the electrolytic cell; a high-definition camera takes pictures of the electrolytic cell surface and its copper electrolytic plates; a built-in microprocessor converts the infrared thermal imaging signal into a digital signal and transmits the digital signal to the central processor. The infrared thermal imager is installed at a height of approximately 12m above the horizontal surface of the electrolytic cell. It can perform high-definition infrared scanning imaging and identification of the electrolytic cell surface and its copper electrolytic plates within a vertical center radius of 45m. The scanning range of the infrared thermal imager can be adjusted within a radius of 0-200m. The built-in microprocessor supports the transmission of 1080P high-definition thermal imaging images to the central processor at a bit rate of 2-4Mbps. The central processor supports image storage for more than 30 days and supports on-site image and video playback. The infrared thermal imager scans the copper electrolytic plates on the surface of the electrolytic cell within its scanning range every 0.5–10 ms (adjustable scanning speed). Through frequent scanning, it collects and identifies the infrared temperature data of the copper electrolytic plates. A built-in microprocessor converts the infrared thermal imaging signal into a digital signal, which is then transmitted to a central processor via network or Wi-Fi. An anti-magnetic interference isolation cover filters out irrelevant information such as electromagnetic field interference from the electrolytic cell, enabling high-definition acquisition of imaging information of the copper electrolytic plates by the infrared thermal imager. The advantage of this patent is its ability to automatically and efficiently identify fault information on the electrolytic copper plates and their corresponding specific locations.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent driving system of the present invention includes:

[0062] Longitudinal guide rails: Two parallel longitudinal guide rails are installed on both sides of the electrolytic cell.

[0063] The transverse guide rails are two parallel rails mounted on the longitudinal guide rails and can move along the longitudinal guide rails.

[0064] The support platform is installed on the transverse guide rail and can move along the transverse guide rail.

[0065] The system includes encoders spaced at equal intervals on the longitudinal and transverse guide rails. These encoders mesh the electrolytic cell, enabling the location of short-circuited electrolytic copper plates. Specifically, when the fault identification system detects a short-circuited electrolytic copper plate, it sends its precise location to the central processor. The central processor then determines the positions of the longitudinal and transverse encoders based on this location information, thereby controlling the support platform to move along the longitudinal and transverse guide rails to the location of the short-circuited copper plate, achieving precise positioning of the short-circuited copper plate.

[0066] The support platform is equipped with a plate transport system 2, such as Figure 2 The pallet transport system specifically includes a robot base 201, a multi-axis robot 202, and a gripping device 6. The robot base 201 is fixed on the support platform and is connected to the multi-axis robot 202 through gears. That is, the outer gear ring of the robot base meshes with the inner gear ring at the bottom of the multi-axis robot, and the gripping device 6 is movably connected to the end of the multi-axis robot.

[0067] The plate handling system is used to remove and place short-circuited electrolytic copper plates using a multi-axis robot and a gripping device. In one embodiment, the multi-axis robot is specifically installed at the center of the longitudinal edge of the support platform. When positioning and gripping the short-circuited copper plate, the electrolytic cell is divided into two along the longitudinal guide rail. The short-circuited electrolytic copper plate is positioned using the edge of the support platform on the same side as the support platform as a reference. The method of controlling the multi-axis robot to achieve gripping through a central processor is widely available in the market and is known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0068] However, it should be noted that the gripping device of the present invention includes a gripping bracket 601, a gripping handle 602, a movable connecting rod 603, and a servo motor 604, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, one side of the frame is movably connected to the end of the multi-axis robot, and the other side is a hollow cavity with an opening at the bottom. The gripping handle is movably hinged to the hollow cavity through a movable shaft. In one embodiment, there are multiple sets of gripping handles to make the gripping process more stable.

[0069] Furthermore, the gripping handle includes an active lever assembly and a driven lever assembly, which are symmetrically arranged and mesh with each other via gears. The active lever assembly is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the drive element, and the drive element is fixed to the frame.

[0070] The active and driven linkages consist of gears, a movable connecting rod, and a grooved rod, respectively. The movable connecting rod is fixed to the central control cavity. The upper parts of the active and driven linkages are gears that mesh with each other. The active linkage gear is connected to the drive motor via the center of the active linkage gear. The drive motor shaft rotates to drive the active linkage and cause the driven linkage to close or open.

[0071] The drive motor is connected to the central processor to enable automatic grasping.

[0072] Typically, electrolytic plates have hollow portions. To ensure a tighter and more secure fit when the gripping handle extracts the short-circuited copper plate, in one embodiment of the invention, a 90-degree support plate is positioned below the gripping handle. Figure 4 As shown below.

[0073] After the plate transport system removes the short-circuited copper electrode plate, the central processor controls it to be automatically placed into the particle milling system for milling the electrolytic copper electrode plate.

[0074] Specifically, the particle milling system includes a vertical lifting device and a horizontal moving device, such as... Figure 4 As shown,

[0075] The vertical lifting device includes a support truss 402, a movable base, a lifting device drive assembly, and a flexible connector 405. The support truss is placed in a position easily accessible to the multi-axis robot and is fixed to the support platform via a milling system base 401. The front end of the column of the support truss 402 is provided with a guide groove, and the movable base is embedded in the guide groove.

[0076] The top of the supporting truss is equipped with guide pulley assemblies at the front and rear. The truss fixed to the front guide pulley assembly is provided with an electrode contact panel below it. A protruding structure is provided above the electrode contact panel. The protruding structure and the electrode release panel form an electrode fixing groove for suspending and fixing the faulty electrolytic copper electrode through the electrode hanging lug.

[0077] Furthermore, a vertical plate is provided on the back of the supporting truss, and the lifting device drive assembly is installed behind the vertical plate. The flexible connector connects the lifting device drive assembly and the movable base through the guide pulley assembly. In one embodiment, the flexible connector is a steel wire rope.

[0078] In another embodiment, the lifting device drive assembly includes a variable frequency geared motor 403, a roller, and bearings, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are two sets of rollers and two sets of bearings, distributed on both sides of the variable frequency geared motor. The base of the variable frequency geared motor is rigidly fixed to the upright plate and the support platform. The motor's rotating shaft is connected to the drive shaft, specifically transmitting power through gear meshing. The other end of the drive shaft is movably connected to the bearing, which is fixed on a bearing support. The bearing support is fixed on the support platform. Furthermore, while the roller is fixedly connected to the drive shaft, it is also fixedly connected to one end of a flexible connector to facilitate rotation with the drive shaft, thereby lifting the movable base.

[0079] In one embodiment, a roller cover 404 is provided on the outer side of the roller. The roller cover is a central control housing and is rigidly fixed to the outer side of the bearing support.

[0080] The horizontal moving device includes a movable base. First guide rails 407 are provided on both sides of the wide edge of the movable base, and first screw bearing supports 409 are provided between the first guide rails. In one embodiment, there are two sets of first screw bearing supports 409 located at both ends of the movable base. A first drive screw 408 is movably connected to the screw bearing support. A first drive motor 410 is mounted at the end of the first drive screw 408. The first drive motor is inverted and fixed, and its power transmission is achieved through a synchronous belt connection between its end gear and the end gear of the first drive screw.

[0081] Secondly, the first drive screw 408 is connected to the particle milling component support through gears, and power is transmitted through gear meshing. The bottom of the particle milling component support is embedded in the first guide rail, which facilitates stable movement.

[0082] Furthermore, the particle milling system also includes a particle milling assembly, which is fixed on a slide. The slide is connected to the second screw assembly 414 via gear meshing and is fixed to the particle milling assembly support via a second drive screw to realize the forward and backward movement of the slide. Both ends of the second drive screw are fixed to the top of the particle milling assembly support via bearings and bearing seats, and a second drive motor 415 is connected to one of the outer ends. The outer end refers to the end away from the vertical plate. The second drive motor 415 is still fixed in reverse, that is, it is connected to the end gear of the first drive screw via a synchronous belt for power transmission.

[0083] A milling cutter head drive motor 413 is mounted on the slide. A combined milling cutter head 416 is mounted on the shaft end of the milling cutter head drive motor 413. Milling cutters 411 are mounted on the outer side of the combined milling cutter head. In one embodiment, the milling cutters are ten sets of end mills.

[0084] In addition, two sets of photosensitive thermal imaging infrared cameras 412 are embedded inside the support truss column. The end face of the camera is parallel to the inner side of the support truss and is used to identify the thickness of the short-circuited copper plate and transmit it to the central processor to control the advance and retreat distance of the slide.

[0085] In one embodiment, a copper particle collection tray 417 is also provided at the bottom of the milling device for collecting the stripped copper particles.

[0086] In one embodiment, a copper particle milling system protective cover 4 is also provided on the outside of the particle milling system.

[0087] When the particle milling system receives the board receiving instruction from the central processor, the photosensitive thermal imaging infrared camera begins to scan the flatness of the inner and outer sides of the short-circuited electrode plate and converts the scanned image signal into a digital signal, which is then uploaded to the central processor for signal acquisition and recognition. After the flatness scan is completed, the vertical lifting device, the horizontal moving device, and the particle milling component work in parallel under the control of the central processor to mill the copper plate particles on one side. After milling, the multi-axis robot lifts the copper plate again, swaps the inner and outer sides of the copper, and the milling device operates again. The milled electrolytic copper particles are collected by the copper particle collection tray.

[0088] On the other hand, based on the online short-circuit elimination system for electrolytic copper plates disclosed in this invention, this invention also discloses an online short-circuit elimination method for electrolytic copper plates based on an intelligent vehicle, the specific steps of which include:

[0089] S1. When the copper plate short circuit identification system detects a short circuit fault in the electrode plate, it transmits the signal to the central processor. After the central processor performs positioning and identification, it controls the intelligent driving system to reach the top of the short-circuited copper electrode plate.

[0090] S2. The plate transport system uses a multi-axis robot to remove the faulty copper plate and place it into the particle milling system, where the particle milling system mills the inner and outer sides of the faulty copper plate.

[0091] Once the intelligent trolley reaches the faulty electrode, the central processor sends a work command to the electrode transport system. The system then begins operation, using a multi-axis robot to transport the gripping device above the faulty electrode. At this point, the conductive rod at the top of the faulty electrode is centered on the vertical plane of the gripping device. The gripping device then begins working, with two sets of servo motors driving the two sets of gripping handles to open outwards. The multi-axis robot also drives the gripping handles to move vertically downwards. When the gripping handles reach the bottom and align with the square hole below the conductive rod of the faulty electrode, the multi-axis robot stops moving. At this point, the two sets of servo motors rotate in opposite directions, controlling the two sets of gripping handles to move inwards. The robot clamps and holds the faulty electrode plate in place. Then, the multi-axis robot vertically lifts the faulty electrode plate out of the electrolytic cell and places it into the particle milling system. The conductive rods of the faulty electrode plate are hooked into the electrode plate fixing grooves on both sides of the milling system. The particle recognition system then begins operation, with two sets of infrared cameras detecting the flatness of the positive and negative sides of the faulty electrode plate. When particles appear on the electrode plate surface, abnormal light spots appear in the diffracted images from the infrared cameras. The central processor analyzes and processes the images to determine the location of the light spots, thereby sending a work instruction to the milling system. The particle milling system then mills the faulty copper electrode plate. After milling is completed, the other side of the faulty copper electrode plate is milled in the same way.

[0092] S3. After milling is completed, the multi-axis robot places the faulty copper electrode plate into the electrolytic cell.

[0093] Specifically, during the copper electrolysis production process, the copper plate short circuit identification system monitors the plate temperature data of the electrolytic cell surface in real time, and determines that the plate temperature within ±3℃ is the normal temperature, while the temperature is determined to be higher than the average temperature by +3℃ as a plate short circuit fault.

[0094] When a short-circuited copper plate is detected, the short-circuit fault signal is transmitted to the central processor. The central processor locates and identifies the short-circuited plate and issues instructions to the intelligent vehicle.

[0095] After receiving instructions from the central processor, the intelligent vehicle moves to the top of the short-circuit plate via the longitudinal and transverse guide rails. Then, the copper plate gripping device starts working. First, the multi-axis robot moves the electrolytic copper plate gripping device to the top of the short-circuit plate. Each set of gripping handle slots is at the same level as the hollow part of the short-circuit plate. The gripping handles attach and clamp the short-circuit plate. Then, the robot lifts and aligns the position, placing the lifting lugs on both sides of the short-circuit plate into the grooves of the support truss.

[0096] After receiving the board receiving command, the milling system uses a photosensitive thermal imaging infrared camera to scan the flatness of the inner and outer surfaces of the short-circuited electrode plate. The scanned image signal is then converted into a digital signal and uploaded to the central processor for signal acquisition and recognition.

[0097] After the flatness scan of the plate is completed, the vertical lifting device, the horizontal moving device and the particle milling system work together in parallel under the control of the central processor to mill the particles on one side of the copper plate. After the milling is completed, the multi-axis robot lifts the copper plate again, swaps the inner and outer sides of the copper, and the milling device works again. The milled electrolytic copper particles are collected by the copper particle collection tray.

[0098] After the copper plate particles are milled, the multi-axis robot extracts the copper plate again and puts it into the electrolytic cell to continue the copper electrolysis production.
