Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of stacking control equipment technology, specifically to a stacking and lifting device for anode plates used in continuous casting of copper smelting anode plates. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the basic copper smelting process involves copper concentrate smelting, blowing, oxidation-reduction, and anode plate casting. After electrolysis, the anode plates are sold in the market. The anode plate casting process generally requires a disc casting machine. The loading and unloading system of the anode plates works as follows: When the anode plate is rotated to the extraction machine position by the disc, it is lifted twice. The extraction machine removes it from the disc copper mold and transports it to a cooling water tank for cooling. After the anode plates in the water tank have accumulated to a set number, the chain conveyor in the cooling water tank can send the entire stack of anode plates to the rear end of the cooling water tank. When the anode plate touches the limit device, after a three-second delay to ensure that the anode plate is in place, the system controls the stacking cylinder to lift the entire stack of anode plates. Then, a forklift is used to lift the entire stack of anode plates and transport it to the storage yard. After the entire stack of anode plates in the water tank is removed, the extraction machine continues to transport the anode plates from the disc copper mold to the cooling water tank. This process is repeated until the casting is completed.

[0003] The existing equipment has the following drawbacks: the limit switches are immersed in high-temperature cooling water for a long time, which will cause damage to the limit switches and affect production.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes an anode plate stacking and lifting device for continuous casting of copper smelting anode plates to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anode plate stacking and lifting device for continuous casting of copper smelting anode plates, so as to solve the problem that the limit switch is damaged due to long-term immersion in high-temperature cooling water, which affects production.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an anode plate stacking and lifting device for continuous casting of copper smelting anode plates, comprising an L-shaped base plate, a blocking platform disposed on the base plate, a support seat disposed on the side of the base plate away from the blocking platform, and a movable frame disposed on the support seat and passing through the base plate for supporting the anode plates, further comprising:

[0007] The mounting rod is mounted on the support base;

[0008] The control element is located on the upper part of the mounting rod and above the cooling water tank;

[0009] A buffer unit, mounted on the support base, is used to protect the movable frame from falling.

[0010] The buffer unit includes a buffer device disposed below the support base for buffering the falling movable frame, a traction device disposed on the buffer device, and a limiting component disposed on the base plate for blocking the movable frame. The limiting component is connected to the traction device.

[0011] The buffer device includes a guide rod disposed on the support base, a buffer plate sleeved on the guide rod and located below the movable frame, and a mounting plate disposed at the lower part of the guide rod. A second elastic element is sleeved on the guide rod between the mounting plate and the buffer plate.

[0012] An air cushion is provided on the side of the buffer plate that is close to the movable frame.

[0013] The traction device includes a traction rope disposed at the lower part of the buffer plate, a first guide wheel disposed on the mounting plate, a second guide wheel disposed in the base plate, and a third guide wheel disposed on the side of the base plate near the movable frame. The traction rope is wound around the first guide wheel, the second guide wheel, and the third guide wheel, and the traction rope is connected to the limiting component.

[0014] The base plate has a connecting groove for placing the traction rope at the position corresponding to the traction rope.

[0015] The limiting component includes a mounting frame disposed on the base plate, a movable rod disposed inside the mounting frame and connected to the traction rope, a push block disposed inside the mounting frame and connected to the movable rod, and a blocking member disposed on the side of the push block away from the movable rod for blocking the movable frame. The base plate has a placement groove at the position corresponding to the mounting frame, and a third elastic member is sleeved between the push block and the mounting frame on the movable rod.

[0016] The mounting frame has a limiting groove at the position corresponding to the push block for placing the push block.

[0017] The blocking member includes a connecting plate disposed on the pushing block, a top rod passing through the connecting plate, and a baffle disposed below the top rod. A fourth elastic member is sleeved between the connecting plate and the baffle on the top rod.

[0018] The base plate is provided with an installation groove at the position corresponding to the movable frame;

[0019] The support base includes a support frame disposed on the base plate, a hinge platform disposed on the support frame, a rotating shaft disposed on the hinge platform, and a reinforcing rod disposed on the lower part of the support frame to support the support frame. A mounting platform for supporting the mounting rod is disposed on the side of the support frame away from the base plate. A top frame for placing the control element is disposed on the upper part of the mounting rod. The movable frame is sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0020] A counterweight is provided on the side of the movable frame away from the blocking platform, and a movable plate is provided on the upper part of the movable frame.

[0021] The control element includes a photoelectric proximity switch mounted on the top frame, a lifting rod passing through the top frame, and a lifting plate mounted on the lower part of the lifting rod. The lifting plate has a slot for placing the movable plate at a position corresponding to the movable plate. A first elastic element is sleeved between the lifting rod and the top frame.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] 1. This invention involves transporting stacked anode plates to the top of a blocking platform via a conveyor, where they come into contact with a movable frame. This triggers a control element on the movable frame, causing a hydraulic cylinder to lift the base plate. After a forklift removes the anode plates, the movable frame resets under gravity. Once reset, the system controls the hydraulic cylinder to retract the base plate. During this process, the proximity switch does not come into contact with the water surface, extending its service life and resulting in significant economic benefits. By adjusting the position and detection point of the proximity switch, the position of the stack can be detected even without contact with the water surface, reducing the damage rate of the proximity switch.

[0024] 2. In this invention, when the anode plate on the base plate is removed, the movable frame moves downward under gravity. The movable frame is movably mounted on the support base. Under gravity, the movable frame swings back and forth along the support base. During this swinging motion, the working components may impact and be damaged. Therefore, a buffer device is installed at the bottom of the movable frame to cushion the impact. Furthermore, during impact, the buffer device causes the traction device to drive the limiting component to restrain and protect the swinging movable frame, allowing the movable frame to move quickly and smoothly, thus protecting the working components. The impact of the impact plate causes the buffer plate to squeeze the guide rod, which in turn moves the guide rod downward. During the downward movement of the buffer plate, it also squeezes the second elastic element, which converts kinetic energy into elastic potential energy, effectively buffering the impact force on the buffer plate. When the traction rope becomes loose, the third elastic element will push the blocking element out of the placement slot, and then the blocking element will intercept the movable frame. The baffle is tilted and set to correspond to the shape of the movable frame. When the baffle is impacted, it will move upward and squeeze the fourth elastic element, which can absorb the impact force of the movable frame. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] 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.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: an anode plate stacking and lifting device for continuous casting of copper smelting anode plates, comprising an L-shaped base plate 1, a blocking platform 2 disposed on the base plate 1, a support seat 3 disposed on the side of the base plate 1 away from the blocking platform 2, and a movable frame 4 disposed on the support seat 3 and passing through the base plate 1 for supporting the anode plates, and further comprising:

[0036] Mounting rod 5 is mounted on support base 3;

[0037] The control element 6 is located on the upper part of the mounting rod 5 and above the cooling water tank;

[0038] The buffer unit 7 is mounted on the support base 3 and is used to protect the falling movable frame 4.

[0039] It should be noted that during operation, when the stacked anode plates are transported to the upper part of the blocking platform 2 by the conveyor, they come into contact with the movable frame 4. This triggers the control element 6 on the connecting parts of the movable frame 4, and the hydraulic cylinder lifts the base plate 1. After the forklift removes the anode plates, the movable frame 4 returns to its original position under gravity. After the movable frame 4 returns to its original position, the system controls the hydraulic cylinder to retract the bottom plate 1. During this operation, the proximity switch does not come into contact with the water surface, extending its service life and resulting in significant economic benefits. By adjusting the position and detection part of the proximity switch, the position of the stack can be detected even without contact with the water surface, reducing the damage rate of the proximity switch.

[0040] In one embodiment, the buffer unit 7 includes a buffer device 71 disposed below the support base 3 for buffering the falling movable frame 4, a traction device 72 disposed on the buffer device 71, and a limiting member 73 disposed on the base plate 1 for blocking the movable frame 4. The limiting member 73 is connected to the traction device 72.

[0041] With this design, when the anode plate on the base plate 1 is removed, the movable frame 4 will move downward under the action of gravity. The movable frame 4 is movably mounted on the support base 3. Under the action of gravity, the movable frame 4 will swing back and forth along the support base 3. The working element will be damaged by impact during the swing. Therefore, a buffer device 71 is installed at the lower part of the movable frame 4 to buffer the impact force of the movable frame 4. During the impact, the buffer device 71 will cause the traction device 72 to drive the limiting component 73 to stop and protect the swinging movable frame 4, so that the movable frame 4 can move quickly and smoothly to protect the working element.

[0042] In one embodiment, the buffer device 71 includes a guide rod 712 disposed on the support base 3, a buffer plate 711 sleeved on the guide rod 712 and located below the movable frame 4, and a mounting plate 713 disposed at the lower part of the guide rod 712. A second elastic element 714 is sleeved between the mounting plate 713 and the buffer plate 711 on the guide rod 712. The second elastic element 714 is made of a spring or an elastic pad.

[0043] With this design, the movable frame 4 impacts the buffer plate 711, causing the buffer plate 711 to press against the guide rod 712, which in turn moves the guide rod 712 downward. During the downward movement of the buffer plate 711, it also presses against the second elastic element 714, which converts kinetic energy into elastic potential energy, effectively buffering the impact force on the buffer plate 711.

[0044] In one embodiment, an air cushion 7111 is provided on one side of the buffer plate 711 adjacent to the movable frame 4.

[0045] This design allows the air cushion 7111 to reduce the impact force of the movable frame 4 on the buffer plate 711, protect the buffer plate 711, and improve the service life of the buffer plate 711.

[0046] In one embodiment, the traction device 72 includes a traction rope 721 disposed at the lower part of the buffer plate 711, a first guide wheel 722 disposed on the mounting plate 713, a second guide wheel 723 disposed in the base plate 1, and a third guide wheel 724 disposed on the side of the base plate 1 near the movable frame 4. The traction rope 721 is wound around the first guide wheel 722, the second guide wheel 723 and the third guide wheel 724, and the traction rope 721 is connected to the limiting member 73.

[0047] A connecting groove 13 for placing the traction rope 721 is provided at the position of the base plate 1 corresponding to the position of the traction rope 721.

[0048] With this design, the downward movement of the buffer plate 711 can loosen the traction rope 721, which in turn causes the traction rope 721 to move the limiting component 73, thereby blocking the movable frame 4 and allowing the movable frame 4 to quickly return to its original position.

[0049] In one embodiment, the limiting component 73 includes a mounting frame 731 disposed on the base plate 1, a movable rod 732 disposed inside the mounting frame 731 and connected to the traction rope 721, a push block 733 disposed inside the mounting frame 731 and connected to the movable rod 732, and a blocking member 735 disposed on the side of the push block 733 away from the movable rod 732 for blocking the movable frame 4. A placement groove 12 is provided at the position of the mounting frame 731 on the base plate 1. A third elastic member 734 is sleeved between the push block 733 and the mounting frame 731 on the movable rod 732. The third elastic member 734 is made of a spring or an elastic pad.

[0050] With this design, when the traction rope 721 becomes loose, the third elastic element 734 will drive the blocking element 735 out of the placement slot 12, and then the blocking element 735 will intercept the movable frame 4.

[0051] In one embodiment, a limiting groove 7311 for placing the push block 733 is provided at the position of the mounting frame 731 corresponding to the push block 733.

[0052] With this design, the moving rod 732, under the push of the third elastic element 734, drives the pushing block 733 to slide inside the limiting groove 7311. The limiting groove 7311 can restrict the movement state of the pushing block 733, making the movement of the pushing block 733 more stable.

[0053] In one embodiment, the blocking member 735 includes a connecting plate 7351 disposed on the pushing block 733, a push rod 7352 passing through the connecting plate 7351, and a baffle 7353 disposed at the lower part of the push rod 7352. A fourth elastic member 7354 is sleeved between the connecting plate 7351 and the baffle 7353 on the push rod 7352. The fourth elastic member 7354 is made of a spring or an elastic pad.

[0054] With this design, the baffle 7353 is tilted and corresponds to the shape of the movable frame 4. When the baffle 7353 is impacted, it will move upward and squeeze the fourth elastic element 7354. The fourth elastic element 7354 can absorb the impact force of the movable frame 4.

[0055] In one embodiment, a mounting groove 11 is provided at the position of the corresponding movable frame 4 on the base plate 1;

[0056] The support base 3 includes a support frame 31 mounted on the base plate 1, a hinge platform 32 mounted on the support frame 31, a rotating shaft 34 mounted on the hinge platform 32, and a reinforcing rod 35 mounted on the lower part of the support frame 31 to support the support frame 31. A mounting platform 33 is provided on the side of the support frame 31 away from the base plate 1 to support the mounting rod 5. A top frame 51 for placing the control element 6 is provided on the upper part of the mounting rod 5. The movable frame 4 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 34.

[0057] A counterweight 41 is provided on the side of the movable frame 4 away from the blocking platform 2, and a movable plate 42 is provided on the upper part of the movable frame 4.

[0058] With this design, the movable frame 4 rotates along the rotating shaft 34. When the movable frame 4 is squeezed by the anode plate, it rotates along the rotating shaft 34, which allows the movable plate 42 to squeeze the control element 6. This causes the control element 6 to move the base plate 1 upward through the control module, thereby lifting the cooled anode plate from the cooling pool and removing it.

[0059] In one embodiment, the control element 6 includes a photoelectric proximity switch 63 mounted on the top frame 51, a lifting rod 62 passing through the top frame 51, and a lifting plate 61 mounted below the lifting rod 62. The lifting plate 61 has a slot 65 for placing the movable plate 42 at the position corresponding to the movable plate 42. The lifting rod 62 is fitted with a first elastic element 64 between the lifting plate 61 and the top frame 51, which is made of a spring or an elastic pad.

[0060] With this design, the movable plate 42 rotates under the drive of the movable frame 4, and then the movable plate 42 contacts the lifting plate 61, and then the lifting rod 62 moves upward. When the anode plates on the base plate 1 accumulate to a specified amount, the lifting plate 61 moves upward to the highest point and then contacts the photoelectric proximity switch 63. Then the photoelectric proximity switch 63 opens the oil cylinder through the control module, and then the base plate 1 moves upward.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
