[0053] In the field of copper electrolysis, cathode plates are required. During electrolysis, high-purity copper is deposited on the cathode plates to form copper plates. These copper plates need to be peeled off for reuse, which requires a cathode stripping unit. Related technologies for cathode stripping units involve multiple processes, particularly the transfer of the copper-clad cathode plates. This transfer process affects the operating performance of the cathode stripping unit and reduces operational efficiency. Especially with the deepening of industrialization and stricter environmental requirements, newly built copper electrolysis and electrowinning smelting plants in recent years have been approaching 300,000 tons or even exceeding production capacity to achieve better economies of scale. However, simply configuring more cathode stripping units to meet production needs not only requires a large land area but also necessitates more operators and maintenance personnel for each unit, resulting in poor economic efficiency. Therefore, this application proposes a cathode stripping unit.

[0054] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the cathode stripping unit includes a transport device 1000, a lifting device 5000, a loosening device 3000, a stripping device 4000, a receiving device 6000, and a compression device 7000.

[0055] The conveying device 1000 is used to transport material 8000. That is, material 8000 is placed on the conveying device 1000, and the conveying device 1000 can move material 8000 from one place to another. Under the action of the conveying device 1000, material 8000 is transported. The material 8000 mentioned below refers to a copper-clad cathode plate, meaning that both opposite sides of the cathode plate are attached with a metal layer, which is a copper layer (copper plate). This will be used as an example in the following explanation.

[0056] Understandably, as long as the material 8000 can be transported, the conveyor device 1000 can be of various structural forms, such as a chain conveyor or a conveyor belt. The following explanation uses a chain conveyor as an example. The material 8000 has a certain weight, and the chain conveyor can effectively support and transport the material 8000, making it less likely to be damaged by the material 8000 and exhibiting high reliability.

[0057] The transport device 1000 is equipped with a frame 1100. The frame 1100 can be installed on one side of the transport device 1000 or on opposite sides of the transport device 1000. The specific position of the frame 1100 can be set according to the actual situation. Its function is to install the corresponding supporting equipment to form a stripping station. When the material 8000 is transported to the stripping station, the transport device 1000 can pause its operation. In this way, the material 8000 is in a stopped state at the stripping station, and the supporting equipment at the stripping station can operate on the material 8000 to strip the copper layer relative to the cathode plate. It can be understood that the frame 1100 is a structure for fixing the corresponding supporting equipment to form the stripping station. Therefore, the frame 1100 can have various forms and does not necessarily have to be in the shape of a "frame". As long as it can fix the corresponding supporting equipment, it can be regarded as a frame 1100.

[0058] The lifting device 5000 is used to lift the material 8000 so that the material 8000 is removed from the conveying device 1000, so that when the loosening device 3000 applies force to the material 8000, the material 8000 will not damage the conveying device 1000 (the lifting device 5000 will be described in detail below).

[0059] The loosening device 3000 primarily functions to loosen the tight connection between the cathode plate and the copper layer, creating an opening that facilitates the stripping device 4000 in peeling off the copper layer. When the material 8000 is conveyed to the stripping station, the loosening device 3000 applies force to the material 8000, causing it to deform. Because the cathode plate and copper layer form a multi-layered connection structure, the cathode plate and copper layer easily separate at the edges of the material 8000 during deformation, thus creating an opening.

[0060] For example, material 8000 is placed vertically on conveyor 1000. When material 8000 is transported to the stripping station, the loosening device 3000 moves along the conveying direction of material 8000 and comes into contact with material 8000. That is, it exerts force on material 8000 along the conveying direction of material 8000, thereby deforming material 8000. Since the copper layer and the cathode plate are made of different materials and have different deformation properties, the copper layer on the side that is not in contact with the loosening device 3000 (the copper layer on the first side) will separate from the cathode plate to a certain extent when material 8000 is deformed. This will form an opening between the copper layer and the cathode plate. The opening allows the stripping device 4000 to be inserted, thereby allowing the stripping device 4000 to strip off the copper layer (the copper layer on the first side). The loosening device 3000 moves in the opposite direction to the conveying direction of the material 8000 and comes into contact with the material 8000. That is, it exerts a force on the material 8000 in the opposite direction to the conveying direction of the material 8000, thereby causing the material 8000 to deform in the opposite direction. The copper layer on the side that is not in contact with the loosening device 3000 (the copper layer on the second side) separates from the cathode plate to a certain extent when the material 8000 deforms. This creates an opening between the material and the cathode plate. The opening allows the stripping device 4000 to be inserted, thereby allowing the stripping device 4000 to peel off the copper layer (the copper layer on the second side).

[0061] Understandably, after an opening is formed between the copper layer on one side (the copper layer on the first side) and the cathode plate under the action of the loosening plate device 3000, the peeling device 4000 can be used to peel off the copper layer (the copper layer on the first side). Then, the loosening plate device 3000 is used to form an opening between the copper layer on the other side (the copper layer on the second side) and the cathode plate, and finally, the peeling device 4000 is used to peel off the copper layer (the copper layer on the second side). Alternatively, after openings are formed between the copper layers on both sides and the cathode plate under the action of the loosening plate device 3000, the peeling device 4000 can be used to peel off the copper layers on both sides.

[0062] Optionally, to facilitate the formation of an opening between the copper layer and the cathode plate, the point of application of the force exerted by the loosening device 3000 on the material 8000 is close to the edge of the material 8000, making it easier for the opening to form at the edge of the material 8000. For example, if the point of application of the force exerted by the loosening device 3000 on the material 8000 is located in the upper half of the material 8000, the opening will be formed at the top of the material 8000. The peeling device 4000 can then be inserted into the opening from top to bottom and peel off the copper layer, causing the copper layer to fall off under the influence of gravity.

[0063] The stripping device 4000 is a device for stripping the copper layer from the cathode plate. It is mounted on the frame 1100. When the material 8000 forms an opening, the stripping device 4000 inserts into the opening and moves. As the stripping device 4000 moves, it continuously applies force to the copper layer, overcoming the bonding force between the copper layer and the cathode plate, thereby stripping the copper layer relative to the cathode plate. It is understandable that the structure of the stripping device 4000 can vary; its main function is to insert into the opening and move.

[0064] The board receiving device 6000 has a copper layer receiving function. When the copper layer is peeled off and falls, it will fall onto the board receiving device 6000, thereby transferring the copper layer (the board receiving device will be described in detail below).

[0065] The compression device 7000 is used to process and compress the copper layers collected by the board assembly device 6000 to facilitate the arrangement and stacking of the copper layers (the compression device will be described in detail below).

[0066] In the cathode stripping unit, material 8000 is placed on the conveying device 1000, which transports material 8000 to the corresponding stripping station. The lifting device 5000 lifts the material, and the loosening device 3000 at the stripping station applies force to the material 8000, causing it to deform and form an opening. The stripping device 4000 at the stripping station then inserts into the opening to peel off the copper layer. The copper layer falls to the receiving device 6000, which transfers it to the compression device 7000 for compression and packaging. Afterward, the conveying device 1000 continues to operate, transferring subsequent material 8000 to the stripping station. In this way, the copper layer of material 8000 can be stripped without transferring it.

[0067] As can be seen from the above, by arranging stripping stations on the transport device 1000, each station is equipped with a corresponding lifting device 5000, a loosening device 3000, a stripping device 4000, a receiving device 6000, and a compression device 7000, etc., the copper layer can be stripped without transferring the material 8000, reducing intermediate transfer links and improving operational efficiency. The stripping station setup of the transport device 1000 is very flexible; several stripping stations can be set up according to production capacity needs. The equipment at each stripping station operates independently. Compared with cathode stripping units in related technologies, under the same production capacity, it can reduce the space occupied in the plant, reduce the initial investment, and also has lower equipment costs, reducing operation and maintenance personnel and costs.

[0068] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the loosening device 3000 includes a telescopic frame 3100, a first driver 3200, a support frame 3300, and a second driver 3400.

[0069] The telescopic frame 3100 is telescopically movable. The telescopic direction of the telescopic frame 3100 intersects with the conveying direction of the material 8000, for example, it is perpendicular to it. The telescopic frame 3100 is provided with a latch 3110. When the material 8000 is transported to the peeling station, the telescopic frame 3100 extends, so that the latch 3110 is engaged with the side of the material 8000. The latch 3110 makes the telescopic frame 3100 and the material 8000 mutually locked. As long as the telescopic frame 3100 moves along the conveying direction of the material 8000 and the opposite direction, a force can be applied to the material 8000, thereby causing the material 8000 to deform.

[0070] For example, the telescopic frame 3100 is connected to a first driver 3200. The first driver 3200 and the telescopic frame 3100 are driven together, meaning that the first driver 3200 can drive the telescopic frame 3100 to move, thereby realizing the telescopic extension and retraction of the telescopic frame 3100. When the first driver 3200 extends, it can drive the latch 3110 of the telescopic frame 3100 to engage with the side of the material 8000. When the first driver 3200 retracts, it can drive the latch 3110 of the telescopic frame 3100 to separate from the material 8000.

[0071] It is understood that the function of the first driver 3200 is to drive the telescopic frame 3100 to move. Therefore, the structure of the first driver 3200 can be of various types, such as cylinder drive, hydraulic cylinder drive, gear drive, etc. This application does not limit it, and the same applies to other drivers mentioned below, which will not be repeated here.

[0072] The telescopic frame 3100 moves under the action of the first driver 3200. The direction of movement of the telescopic frame 3100 intersects with the direction of material 8000 transmission. Therefore, in order to achieve the deformation of material 8000 to create an opening, the telescopic frame 3100 needs to be set to move in the direction of material 8000 transmission and in the opposite direction of material 8000 transmission so that an opening can be formed between the copper layer and the cathode plate on both sides. This is achieved by setting up the support frame 3300 and the second driver 3400.

[0073] The function of the support frame 3300 is to support the telescopic frame 3100 and the first driver 3200. The support frame 3300 is configured to be movable and is driven by the second driver 3400. Under the action of the second driver 3400, the support frame 3300 drives the first driver 3200 and the telescopic frame 3100 to move, thereby causing the material 8000 to deform.

[0074] Specifically, the specific structure of the support frame 3300 is not limited, as long as it can support the telescopic frame 3100 and the first driver 3200. For example, the support frame 3300 can be slidably mounted on the frame 1100, the second driver 3400 is fixed to the frame 1100, and the second driver 3400 drives the support frame 3300 in the direction of material 8000 and in the opposite direction of material 8000. The first driver 3200 is fixed to the support frame 3300 and can move with the support frame 3300. The telescopic frame 3100 and the first driver 3200 are drivenly connected, and the moving direction of the telescopic frame 3100 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the support frame 3300.

[0075] When material 8000 is transported to the preset position, the first driver 3200 drives the telescopic frame 3100 to move so that the bayonet 3110 engages with material 8000. Then, the second driver 3400 drives the support frame 3300 to move. The support frame 3300 drives the first driver 3200 and the telescopic frame 3100 to move. Since the telescopic frame 3100 and material 8000 are engaged with each other through the bayonet 3110, the telescopic frame 3100 can apply force to material 8000 when the support frame 3300 moves, thereby causing material 8000 to deform.

[0076] Optionally, the telescopic frame 3100 has a certain length and is set parallel to the transport device 1000. Multiple slots 3110 are set along the length of the telescopic frame 3100, i.e., two or more. In this way, the loosening device 3000 can loosen two or more materials 8000 at the same time, further improving the work efficiency.

[0077] Optionally, the loosening device 3000 can be configured as two sets, respectively provided on opposite sides of the conveying device 1000, so that the loosening device 3000 can operate simultaneously on opposite sides of the material 8000, thereby making it easier to form an opening on the material 8000.

[0078] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the stripping device 4000 includes a first blade 4100 and a third driver 4200, which are drivenly connected to the first blade 4100 so that the first blade 4100 is inserted into an opening to strip the copper layer from the cathode plate. As the first blade 4100 moves, the copper layer can be stripped off from the cathode plate.

[0079] For example, the peeling device 4000 is positioned above the conveying device 1000, i.e., above the material 8000, with an opening also formed on the top of the material 8000. The third driver 4200 drives the first blade 4100 to move downwards and insert into the opening. As the first blade 4100 moves, the copper layer and the cathode plate separate, and the copper layer falls off the cathode plate under gravity. By positioning the peeling device 4000 above the conveying device 1000, the peeling of the copper layer is facilitated. Since the loosening device 3000 needs to move the material 8000 from both sides of the conveying device 1000, positioning the peeling device 4000 above the conveying device 1000 does not affect the arrangement of the loosening device 3000 and facilitates the coordination between the various devices.

[0080] An opening is created between the copper layer and the cathode plate under the action of the loosening plate device 3000. The third driver 4200 drives the first cutter body 4100 to insert into the opening. The third driver 4200 can continue to move downwards to peel the copper layer off the cathode plate while the loosening plate device 3000 exerts force on the material 8000 (that is, while the material is still in a deformed state), or the third driver 4200 can continue to move downwards to peel the copper layer off the cathode plate after the loosening plate device 3000 is reset (without exerting force on the material 8000).

[0081] It is understandable that corresponding first cutter 4100 and third driver 4200 can be set for the copper layers on both sides respectively; or the copper layers on both sides can be stripped based on the same first cutter 4100, that is, the same first cutter 4100 first separates the copper layer on one side and then separates the copper layer on the other side.

[0082] It is also understandable that a first blade 4100 corresponding to the copper layers on both sides can be set in the same stripping device 4000, or two stripping devices 4000 (first stripping device 4001 and second stripping device 4002) can be set, with each stripping device 4000 stripping the corresponding copper layer.

[0083] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some other embodiments, the stripping device 4000 is provided with a first blade 4100 and a second blade 4300, and a fourth driver 4400 and a second blade 4300 are driven to be connected so that the second blade 4300 is inserted into the opening and the opening is maintained. Then, the first blade 4100 is inserted into the opening and moved under the action of the third driver 4200, thereby stripping the copper layer from the cathode plate.

[0084] Specifically, under the action of the loosening plate device 3000, an opening is formed between the copper layer and the cathode plate. Since the material 8000 has a certain elasticity, if the loosening plate device 3000 resets at this time, the opening between the copper layer and the cathode plate will close. Therefore, by setting the second blade 4300, the fourth driver 4400 drives the second blade 4300 to move, inserting it into the opening. It is only necessary to insert the second blade 4300 into the opening; there is no need to continue controlling its movement. The second blade 4300 will maintain the opening, and then the loosening plate device 3000 can reset, meaning no force is applied to the material 8000. The material 8000 will recover its deformation. Due to the presence of the second blade 4300, the opening will not disappear. After the material 8000 recovers its deformation, the third driver 4200 controls the first blade 4100 to smoothly insert into the opening and move, without being hindered by the deformation of the material 8000, thus more smoothly peeling off the copper layer.

[0085] Understandably, under the action of the loosening device 3000, an opening is formed between the copper layer and the cathode plate on one side. At this time, the corresponding second blade 4300 of the peeling device 4000 is inserted into the opening (the opening between the copper layer and the cathode plate on one side). Then, the loosening device 3000 reverses its action to form an opening between the copper layer and the cathode plate on the other side. The corresponding second blade 4300 of the peeling device 4000 is inserted into the opening (the opening between the copper layer and the cathode plate on the other side). Finally, after the loosening device 3000 is reset, the corresponding first blade 4100 is inserted into the opening and moves to peel the copper layer off the cathode plate.

[0086] Alternatively, under the action of the loosening plate device 3000, an opening is formed between the copper layer on one side and the cathode plate. At this time, the corresponding second blade 4300 of the peeling device 4000 is inserted into the opening. After that, the loosening plate device 3000 is reset, and the first blade 4100 of the peeling device 4000 is then inserted into the opening and moved to peel off the copper layer on one side. The above action is repeated in the opposite direction to peel off the copper layer on the other side.

[0087] Therefore, the function of the second blade 4300 is to keep the opening open and prevent it from closing due to the resetting of the loosening device 3000. Thus, the second blade 4300 can be made different from the first blade 4100. For example, the second blade 4300 can be shorter, thinner, and more resilient, thereby reducing its cost. Conversely, the first blade 4100 can be made longer and stronger, thus effectively peeling off the copper layer during movement and reducing the risk of breakage.

[0088] Continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting device 5000 can be mounted on the frame 1100. The lifting device 5000 is used to lift the material 8000 so that the material 8000 is removed from the transport device 1000, so that when the loosening device 3000 applies force to the material 8000, the material 8000 will not damage the transport device 1000.

[0089] Specifically, when the transport device 1000 carries the material 8000 to a preset position, the lifting device 5000 operates to lift the material 8000, thereby separating the material 8000 from the transport device 1000. Taking the transport device 1000 as a chain conveyor as an example, when the material 8000 is lifted, the material 8000 is removed from the chain surface of the chain conveyor. Since an opening needs to be formed in the material 8000, the loosening device 3000 will exert a large force on the material 8000. Therefore, by setting up the lifting device 5000, the material 8000 is separated from the transport device 1000. When the loosening device 3000 exerts a force on the material 8000, the lifting device 5000 provides support for the material 8000. Compared with the entire transport device 1000, the lifting device 5000 is much easier and less costly to improve its structural strength. Therefore, by setting up the lifting device 5000, damage to the transport device 1000 is prevented, the opening is formed, and the cost is reduced.

[0090] For example, the lifting device 5000 has a lifting plate 5100 and a fifth actuator 5200. The fifth actuator 5200 and the lifting plate 5100 are driven together. When the material 8000 is transferred to a predetermined position, the fifth actuator 5200 drives the lifting plate 5100 to move upward. During the movement, the lifting plate 5100 supports the material 8000, thereby separating the material 8000 from the transport device 1000. The lifting plate 5100 is provided with a notch 5110. During the upward movement of the lifting plate 5100, the material 8000 is engaged in the notch 5110 to prevent the material 8000 from moving under force. After the copper layer is peeled off the cathode plate, the lifting device 5000 is reset, allowing the cathode plate to be repositioned onto the transport device 1000 and transported away.

[0091] Optionally, there are two sets of lifting devices 5000, which are respectively set on opposite sides of the transport device 1000, so that the material 8000 can be lifted more stably.

[0092] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to better receive the peeled copper layer, the receiving plate device 6000 is located below the transport device 1000, that is, below the material 8000. When the copper layer is peeled off and falls, it will fall onto the receiving plate device 6000, which receives the copper layer. When the number of copper layers reaches a certain level, the copper layer can be moved to the next process.

[0093] Specifically, the board receiving device 6000 includes a support platform 6100 and a sixth actuator (not shown in the figure). The support platform 6100 is movably mounted on a vertical guide rod 6200, and the sixth actuator drives the support platform 6100 to move up and down along the guide rod 6200. When it is necessary to receive copper layers, the sixth actuator controls the support platform 6100 to move upward, and the copper layer peels off and falls onto the support platform 6100. When the collected copper layer reaches a certain level, the sixth actuator drives the support platform 6100 to move downward.

[0094] Furthermore, the compression device 7000 is disposed adjacent to the bonding device 6000. The compression device 7000 is used to process and compress the copper layer collected by the bonding device 6000 to facilitate the arrangement and stacking of the copper layer.

[0095] For example, there are two receiving devices 6000, which are arranged alternately. Since the copper layer has a certain size, the alternately arranged receiving devices 6000 better support the peeled copper layer. The compression device 7000 is arranged between the two receiving devices 6000, adjacent to each other. Here, "adjacent" means close to each other, so that when the copper layer moves downward under the action of the receiving devices 6000, it rests on the compression device 7000. In this way, the compression device 7000 can compress and sort the copper layer.

[0096] The compression device 7000 includes a loading tank 7100, a seventh actuator 7200, and an eighth actuator 7300. The loading tank 7100 has a groove 7110 in which the copper layer rests when it moves downward. The seventh actuator 7200 is located in the loading tank 7100 and passes through the groove 7110. The seventh actuator 7200 can compress the copper layer in the groove 7110, thereby compressing and arranging several copper layers. The eighth actuator 7300 is driven to connect with the loading tank 7100 to drive the loading tank 7100 to rotate. When the groove 7110 of the loading tank 7100 receives the copper layer, the opening faces upward. After rotation, the opening of the groove 7110 faces horizontally. That is, through the compression device 7000, not only are the copper layers compressed and arranged, but the compressed copper layers can also be laid flat so that other equipment or workers can take out the compressed copper layers for storage and stacking.

[0097] The working process of the cathode stripping unit is described in detail below: After the material 8000 is washed, it is placed in the conveyor device 1000 and conveyed by the conveyor device 1000. When the material 8000 is conveyed to the stripping station, the lifting devices 5000 arranged on both sides of the conveyor device 1000 lift the material 8000 to be stripped to a certain height, so that the material 8000 is removed from the conveyor device 1000. Then the conveyor device 1000 can continue to convey, or wait until the current material 8000 is stripped before conveying. The loosening device 3000 operates to create an opening between the copper layer and the cathode plate on one side. The corresponding second blade 4300 of the peeling device 4000 is inserted into the opening (on one side). Then, the loosening device 3000 operates in the opposite direction to create an opening between the copper layer and the cathode plate on the other side. The corresponding second blade 4300 of the peeling device 4000 is inserted into the opening (on the other side). After the loosening device 3000 resets, the corresponding first blade 4100 of the peeling device 4000 is inserted into the openings on both sides to peel off the copper layers on both sides. The peeled copper layers fall onto the receiving device 6000. The receiving device 6000 moves to place the copper layers on the compression device 7000. The compression device 7000 compresses several copper layers and then tilts them flat for easy output.
