Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plate transfer technology, and in particular to an electrode plate transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolysis and electrowinning are processes that utilize anode and cathode plates to carry out chemical reactions or metal deposition under the influence of electric current. Electrolysis is used to decompose substances or extract metals, while electrowinning is used to deposit metal layers on the surface of objects. After electrolysis, the plates need to be transported to the electrowinning workshop via a transfer device. During the transfer process, some residual electrolyte and solid residues remain on the surface of the plates. Therefore, a tray is placed directly below the transfer device to collect these solid and liquid impurities and prevent them from being spilled throughout the workshop. However, while the tray can collect these solid and liquid impurities, solid residues tend to adhere to it, often requiring cleaning by workers. This cleaning process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, leading to prolonged downtime of the transfer device and hindering practical use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings mentioned above by providing an electrode plate transfer device that enables the anode and cathode plates to effectively carry solid and liquid impurities during transfer, and to make impurity handling efficient and convenient.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an electrode plate transfer device, comprising,

[0005] A frame is provided inside which a lifting device is provided. The moving end of the lifting device is provided with a body. The body is provided with a hook device that can be raised and lowered. The body is provided with a drive device that drives the hook device to move up and down.

[0006] At least one through slot is vertically provided at the bottom of the frame. A spring is provided in each through slot. A lifting rod with one end extending downward to the outside of the frame is inserted into each through slot. One end of the lifting rod is connected to the spring, and a liquid receiving plate is hinged to the other end of the lifting rod. The liquid receiving plate is located directly below the frame.

[0007] A control device is used to drive one end of the liquid receiving plate to rotate towards the lifting rod, and drive the lifting rod to move downward to expose the hook device;

[0008] The control device includes a lead screw rotatably mounted on the frame and a connecting sleeve screwed onto the lead screw. The connecting sleeve is laterally slidable on the frame, and the end of the liquid receiving plate away from the lifting rod is hinged to the connecting sleeve. The rotation of the lead screw drives the connecting sleeve to slide laterally on the frame, which is used to drive the liquid receiving plate to rotate and unfold when the lifting rod moves downward.

[0009] A linkage device, which is installed on the lifting device, is used to drive the lead screw in the control device to move when the moving end of the lifting device is raised or lowered.

[0010] A scraper is slidably disposed on each of the liquid receiving plates, and the liquid receiving plates are provided with a driving mechanism that drives the scraper to move from one end to the other end.

[0011] A waste discharge port is located at the other end of the scraper, and a carrying container is detachably provided at the bottom of the waste discharge port.

[0012] The linkage device includes a gear A rotatably mounted on the lifting device, a gear B rotatably mounted on the lifting device and meshing with gear A, and a transmission belt assembly. The transmission belt assembly includes two transmission pulleys and a transmission belt mounted on the two transmission pulleys. The two transmission pulleys are respectively aligned with and connected to the center of the lead screw and gear B. The lifting device includes a housing and a hydraulic push rod disposed within the housing. The housing is connected to a frame. The moving end of the hydraulic push rod is provided with a rack. Both gear A and gear B are rotatably mounted on the housing of the lifting device. Gear A includes two gears coaxially connected, one of which meshes with the rack, and the other gear meshes with gear B. The rotation of gear A is used to drive the transmission belt assembly and rotate the lead screw.

[0013] The driving mechanism includes an adjusting rack horizontally arranged on the frame, a gear C rotatably arranged on the connecting sleeve and meshing with the adjusting rack, a gear D rotatably arranged on the liquid receiving plate, and a sprocket assembly. The sprocket assembly includes two sprockets and a chain connected to the two sprockets. Both sprockets are rotatably mounted on the liquid receiving plate. The gear D is connected to one of the sprockets through a shaft arranged at the center. The gear C meshes with the gear D. The scraper is connected to the chain in the sprocket assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, positioning baffles are hinged to both sides of the frame, and each positioning baffle is provided with a push wheel on the side of the machine body. The machine body is provided with a guide rail corresponding to each push wheel. The guide rail is used to drive the positioning baffle to rotate towards or away from the hook device when the machine body is raised or lowered.

[0015] Furthermore, there are four slots and four lifting rods, two liquid receiving plates, and two threads with opposite inclination directions on the lead screw.

[0016] Furthermore, the number of teeth in gear B is less than the number of teeth in gear A.

[0017] Furthermore, the opposite sides of the two liquid receiving plates are attached to each other, and a sealing layer is provided at the joint, the sealing layer being used to seal the gap between the two liquid receiving plates.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in:

[0019] In this invention, when the lifting device controls the machine body to move downwards, the linkage device moves synchronously and drives the control device to work. At this time, the control device drives the liquid receiving plate to rotate away from the center of the bottom of the frame until the liquid receiving plate does not block the bottom of the frame. During this process, the driving mechanism works, so that the scraper moves from one end of the liquid receiving plate to the other end, pushing the solid and liquid impurities remaining on the liquid receiving plate to the discharge port. The impurities pass through the discharge port and enter the carrying container, thus completing the collection work. During the process of the machine body rising, the linkage device moves synchronously, so that the liquid receiving plate rotates towards the center of the bottom of the frame. The driving mechanism also works synchronously to return the scraper to its position. When the machine body is completely retracted into the frame, the liquid receiving plate also rotates to block the bottom of the frame. At this time, the solid and liquid impurities on the plate fall and enter the liquid receiving plate, which is convenient for actual use. The operator only needs to replace the carrying container periodically. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. 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.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-9 This invention discloses an electrode plate transfer device, including a frame 1. A vertically mounted lifting device 2 is installed inside the frame 1. A body 3 is mounted on the moving end of the lifting device 2. A hook device 5 is mounted on the body 3 and can be raised and lowered. A drive device 4 is mounted on the body 3 to drive the hook device 5 to move up and down. The drive device 4 can be a linear module device. The hook device 5 is installed on the moving end of the drive device 4. The drive device 4 is used to drive the hook device 5 to move up and down. In use, when the transfer device reaches the corresponding position, the lifting device 2 first drives the body 3 to descend and contact the guide rail device (not shown in the figure) used for electrode plate transfer. Then, the drive device 4 drives the hook device 5 to descend and contact the plate on the guide rail device. At this time, the operator only needs to hook the plate with the hook device 5 and control the above structure to reverse the operation to lift the plate and transfer it.

[0033] In one embodiment, at least one through slot is vertically formed at the bottom of the frame 1. A spring is installed in each through slot, and a lifting rod 10 with one end extending downward to the outside of the frame 1 is inserted into each through slot. One end of the lifting rod 10 is connected to the spring, and a liquid receiving plate 11 is hinged to the other end of the lifting rod 10. The liquid receiving plate 11 is located directly below the frame 1. A control device is provided on the frame 1. The control device is used to drive one end of the liquid receiving plate 11 to rotate towards the lifting rod 10, and drive the lifting rod 10 to move downward, exposing the hook device 5, so as to facilitate the normal use of the lifting device 2, the machine body 3, the drive device 4, and the hook device 5, or to rotate to the other side. With the shielding frame 1 below, the anode and cathode plates hanging on the hook device 5 are located above the liquid receiving plate 11. The liquid receiving plate 11 is used to receive the electrolyte and solid residue falling from the anode and cathode plates. The lifting device 2 is equipped with a linkage device, which is used to drive the lead screw 14 in the control device to move when the moving end of the lifting device 2 is raised or lowered. Each liquid receiving plate 11 is equipped with a scraper 19 that can slide on it. The liquid receiving plate 11 is equipped with a driving mechanism that drives the scraper 19 to move from one end to the other end. At the same time, the other end of the scraper 19 is provided with a discharge port 20, and the bottom of the discharge port 20 is detachably equipped with a carrying container (not shown in the figure).

[0034] In specific implementation, when the lifting device 2 controls the body 3 to move downward, the linkage device moves synchronously, thereby driving the control device to work. At this time, the control device drives the liquid receiving plate 11 to rotate away from the center of the bottom of the frame 1, so that the liquid receiving plate 11 will not block the bottom of the frame 1, so as to facilitate the normal descent of the body 3 and the hook device 5. At this time, the liquid receiving plate 11 is in an inclined state. During this process, the driving mechanism works, so that the scraper 19 moves from one end of the liquid receiving plate 11 (at this time located on the upper side of the inclined liquid receiving plate 11) to the other end (at this time located on the lower side of the inclined liquid receiving plate 11), thereby pushing the solid and liquid impurities remaining on the liquid receiving plate 11 to the impurity discharge port 20. The impurities pass through the impurity discharge port 20 and... The plate enters the carrying container to complete the collection work. After the plate is hooked by the hook device 5, the hook device 5 and the machine body 3 are controlled to rise in sequence until they are retracted into the frame 1. During the rise of the machine body 3, the linkage device moves synchronously, thereby driving the liquid receiving plate 11 to rotate towards the side near the bottom center of the frame 1. The driving mechanism also works synchronously to make the scraper 19 return to its position. When the machine body 3 is completely retracted into the frame 1, the liquid receiving plate 11 also rotates to block the bottom of the frame 1. At this time, the solid and liquid impurities on the plate will fall into the liquid receiving plate 11, which is convenient for actual use. The staff only needs to replace the carrying container regularly, so that the anode and cathode plates can effectively carry solid and liquid impurities during transportation, and the impurity treatment is efficient and convenient.

[0035] It is understood that the hook device 5 mentioned above is used to hang the cathode plate and the anode plate. The hook device 5 is a well-known technology in the field, so its specific structure and working principle are not described in detail in this article.

[0036] In one embodiment, positioning baffles 7 are hinged to both sides of the frame 1. Each positioning baffle 7 is equipped with a push wheel 8 on the side of the body 3. The body 3 is equipped with a guide rail 6 corresponding to each push wheel 8. The guide rail 6 is vertical and is used to drive and rotate the positioning baffle 7 towards the side closer to or away from the hook device 5 when the body 3 is raised or lowered.

[0037] With this design, when the body 3 extends downward from inside the frame 1, the guide rail 6 descends synchronously, and the protruding part contacts and pushes the push wheel 8, thereby causing the positioning baffle 7 to rotate away from the frame 1. This ensures that the positioning baffle 7 does not affect the normal descent of the body 3. When the body 3 rises and retracts into the frame 1, the guide rail 6 rises synchronously, and the inclined surface approaching the body 3 contacts and pushes the wheel 8. The push wheel 8 then tilts and moves, causing the positioning baffle 7 to rotate towards the side closer to the frame 1. When the anode and cathode plates retract into the frame 1 to await transfer, the positioning baffle 7 adheres to the side wall of the plate to temporarily limit the plate.

[0038] In one embodiment, the control device includes a lead screw 14 rotatably mounted on the frame 1 and a connecting sleeve 15 threadedly connected to the lead screw 14. The connecting sleeve 15 is slidably mounted on the frame 1, and the end of the liquid receiving plate 11 away from the lifting rod 10 is hinged to the connecting sleeve 15. The rotation of the lead screw 14 drives the connecting sleeve 15 to slide laterally on the frame 1, which is used to drive the liquid receiving plate 11 to rotate and unfold when the lifting rod 10 moves downward.

[0039] In specific implementation, the linkage device is used to drive the lead screw 14 to rotate when the moving end of the lifting device 2 is raised or lowered. When the lead screw 14 rotates in the forward direction, it drives the connecting sleeve 15 to move on the frame 1 towards the side closer to the lifting rod 10. At this time, the spring simultaneously squeezes the lifting rod 10 downward to make it descend, thereby driving the side of the liquid receiving plate 11 connected to the lifting rod 10 to descend synchronously. Meanwhile, the continuous lateral movement of the connecting sleeve 15 simultaneously drives the liquid receiving plate 11 to rotate in an inclined position until the bottom of the frame 1 is in an unobstructed state. Conversely, when the lead screw 14 rotates in the reverse direction, the end of the liquid receiving plate 11 connected to the connecting sleeve 15 is rotated and pulled apart. At this time, the lifting rod 10 moves upward and slides into the frame 1 until the liquid receiving plate 11 covers the bottom of the frame 1.

[0040] In one embodiment, the linkage device includes a gear A 12 rotatably mounted on the lifting device 2, a gear B 21 rotatably mounted on the lifting device 2 and meshing with gear A 12, and a transmission belt assembly 13. The transmission belt assembly 13 includes two transmission pulleys and a transmission belt mounted on the two transmission pulleys. The two transmission pulleys are respectively aligned with and connected to the center of the lead screw 14 and gear B 21. The lifting device 2 includes a housing and a hydraulic push rod disposed within the housing. The housing is connected to the frame 1. The moving end of the hydraulic push rod is provided with a rack. Gear A 12 and gear B 21 are rotatably mounted on the housing in the lifting device 2. Gear A 12 includes two gears coaxially connected, one of which meshes with the rack, and the other gear meshes with gear B 21. The rotation of gear A 12 is used to drive the transmission belt assembly 13 to move and drive the lead screw 14 to rotate.

[0041] In specific implementation, when the moving end of the hydraulic push rod in the lifting device 2 rises or falls, the rack moves up and down synchronously and drives the gear A 12 that meshes with it to rotate. At this time, the gear B 21 rotates synchronously with one of the transmission wheels of the transmission belt group 13. During this process, the transmission belt will synchronously drive the other transmission wheel to rotate, thereby causing the lead screw 14 to rotate and adjust.

[0042] In one embodiment, there are four through slots and four lifting rods 10, and two liquid receiving plates 11. Each pair of lifting rods 10 is used to hinge one of the liquid receiving plates 11. The lead screw 14 has two sections of threads with opposite inclination directions. When the lead screw 14 rotates, the two sections of threads with different directions on its surface are used to control the movement of the connecting sleeves 15 on the two liquid receiving plates 11 to move closer to each other or further away from each other. With this design, when the two liquid receiving plates 11 are simultaneously located below the anode and cathode plates, when they are fully unfolded and the anode and cathode plates are exposed, they will not occupy too much height, so as to prevent the liquid receiving plates 11 from getting stuck with the guide rail device used for conveying the electrode plates.

[0043] In one embodiment, gear B 21 has fewer teeth than gear A 12.

[0044] With this design, when the number of teeth of gear B 21 is less than that of gear A 12, the rotational speed of gear B 21 is faster than that of gear A 12, so that the rotational speed of the liquid receiving plate 11 corresponds to the lifting speed of the machine body 3, in order to prevent the liquid receiving plate 11 from rotating too slowly and getting stuck on the anode and cathode plates on the hook device 5.

[0045] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism includes an adjusting rack 9 mounted laterally on the frame 1, a gear C 16 rotatably mounted on the connecting sleeve 15 and meshing with the adjusting rack 9, a gear D 17 rotatably mounted on the liquid receiving plate 11, and a sprocket assembly 18 that coincides with and is connected to the center of the gear D 17. The gear C 16 meshes with the gear D 17, and the scraper 19 is connected to the chain in the sprocket assembly 18.

[0046] In specific implementation, the sprocket assembly 18 includes two sprockets and a chain connected to the two sprockets. Both sprockets are rotatably mounted on the liquid receiving plate 11. Gear D 17 is connected to one of the sprockets through a centrally mounted shaft. In use, the lateral movement of the connecting sleeve 15 will drive gear C 16 to move synchronously. Since gear C 16 meshes with the adjusting rack 9, gear C 16 will rotate, which in turn drives gear D 17 to rotate, thereby causing one of the sprockets in the sprocket assembly 18 to rotate. The chain in the sprocket assembly 18 works synchronously, thereby driving scraper 19 to move synchronously on the liquid receiving plate 11. Scraper 19 moves towards the side closer to the impurity discharge port 20 to push solid and liquid impurities on the liquid receiving plate 11 into the carrying container.

[0047] It is understandable that the number of teeth of gear D 17 can be set to be different from the number of teeth of gear C 16. This design is to make the speed at which the sprocket assembly 18 drives the scraper 19 to move to one side correspond to the rotation speed of the liquid receiving plate 11.

[0048] In one embodiment, the opposite sides of the two liquid receiving plates 11 are attached to each other, and a sealing layer is provided at the attachment point. The sealing layer can be a silicone layer, which is used to seal the gap between the two liquid receiving plates 11.

[0049] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0050] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0051] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.
