Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a rod threading and plate arranging machine unit, in particular to a nickel anode rod threading and plate arranging machine unit, and belongs to the technical field of nickel anode production equipment. Background Art

[0002] Nickel anode plates are usually made of high-purity nickel or nickel-containing alloys. They have a plate-like appearance, are hard in texture and have good conductivity, and can stably carry current in the electrolytic cell. During electrolytic refining, the nickel anode plate acts as the anode. Under the action of current, the nickel and other impurities in it will enter the electrolyte in the form of ions. Through a series of complex electrochemical processes, the nickel and impurities are separated, thereby obtaining high-purity nickel, providing high-quality raw materials for many fields with high requirements for nickel purity, such as electronics, aerospace, and new energy.

[0003] In the existing technology, manual rod threading and plate arrangement operations are usually carried out. The operator needs to manually pass the conductive copper rod through the copper ear coil of the nickel anode plate, and then arrange them one by one. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which seriously limits the production speed of the nickel anode plate and cannot meet the output requirements of large-scale industrial production. Moreover, long-term manual rod threading and plate arrangement operations can easily make the operator tired, and it is difficult to ensure the accurate coordination between the rod and the nickel anode plate ear coil, resulting in an increased operational error rate. In addition, since there are strict requirements on the size of the copper ear coil on the nickel anode plate and the diameter of the rod, manual rod threading may result in skewed rods, incomplete insertion, etc., which will affect the uniform distribution of current in the subsequent electrolysis process. Once the current is unevenly distributed, it will not only reduce the electrolysis efficiency and lead to energy waste, but also may reduce the refining quality of nickel, and then make the output nickel purity substandard, thereby affecting the production efficiency and quality of the product.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a nickel anode rod threading and plate arrangement unit to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The following will describe the implementation methods of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the implementation process of how the present application applies technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0034] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the nickel anode rod threading and plate arrangement unit provided in this embodiment includes a rod threading assembly 1 and a plate arrangement device 2. The rod threading assembly 1 includes a rod threading mechanism 11. A positioning and twisting mechanism 12 is provided on one side of the rod threading mechanism 11. A transfer box 13 and a waste box 14 are provided on one side of the positioning and twisting mechanism 12. A manipulator 15 is provided on the side of the transfer box 13 and the waste box 14 close to the positioning and twisting mechanism 12.

[0035] The plate arrangement equipment 2 includes a frame 21, both sides of which are fixedly provided with artificial corridors 22, a number of evenly distributed plate shelves 23 are provided on the frame 21, and a lifting conveyor 24 is fixedly installed at one end of the frame 21, a transport vehicle 25 is provided under the lifting conveyor 24, and a plate receiving chain machine 26 is provided on one side of the lifting conveyor 24, and a plate arrangement chain machine 27 is provided on the other side of the plate receiving chain machine 26, and a transfer vehicle 28 is provided on one side of the plate arrangement chain machine 27. The rod threading mechanism 11 performs rod threading operation on the nickel anode plate. At this time, the nickel anode plate single pieces in the transfer box 13 that are in place at the material box placement position are taken out in turn by the manipulator 15 (the manipulator is existing technology, so it is not described in detail), and are fed into the positioning and twisting mechanism 12 for positioning and twisting. In case of waste nickel anode plate, the manipulator 15 puts it into the waste box 14, and the nickel anode plate after the rod threading and twisting is moved to the transport mechanism. When the transport vehicle 25 moves to the bottom of the lifting transfer machine 24, the nickel anode plate is lifted from the transport vehicle 25 by the lifting transfer machine 24 and transferred to the plate receiving chain machine 26. The plate receiving chain machine 26 receives the anode plate and passes it to the plate arranging chain machine 27. The plate arranging chain machine 27 arranges and sorts the anode plates. When the nickel anode plates are filled with 76 groups, the anode plates are transported in groups by the transport vehicle 28 to the plate racks 23 in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd spans of the workshop. The cranes in each span workshop use the anode hangers to lift the nickel anode plates from the plate racks 23 and load them into the electrolytic cells. The crane in the 4th span workshop can directly lift the nickel plates from the plate arranging chain machine 27 and load them into the electrolytic cells, completing the entire nickel anode plate threading and arranging process, thereby greatly improving the automation and accuracy of the nickel anode plate threading and arranging operation, effectively reducing manual operation errors, and thus improving production efficiency and quality.

[0036] Further, such as Figures 1-10As shown, the rod-threading mechanism 11 includes a rod-threading auxiliary frame 111, a copper rod box 112 is provided on the rod-threading auxiliary frame 111, a locking box mechanism 113 is provided on the top of the copper rod box 112, and a tilting mechanism 114 is provided on one side of the copper rod box 112, and a storage bucket 115 is provided on the other side of the tilting mechanism 114, the storage bucket 115 is fixedly mounted on the rod-threading auxiliary frame 111, and an upper chain machine 116 is provided below the storage bucket 115, and a rod-pushing mechanism 117 is provided at the end of the upper chain machine 116, and a rolling-in and inserting mechanism 118 is provided on one side of the rod-threading mechanism 117. When the rod-threading operation is required, the copper rod box 112 is loaded into the tilting mechanism 114 from the side by a forklift, and the locking box mechanism 113 puts the copper rods The position of the box 112 is fixed. After the forklift is evacuated, the tipping mechanism 114 works to dump the copper rods in the copper rod box 112 into the storage bucket 115. The storage bucket 115 detects that the bucket is full, stops the tipping action and keeps it. When the maximum tipping angle is reached and the copper rods are empty, the tipping mechanism 114 returns to its original position. Then the upper chain machine 116 under the storage bucket 115 is started. The chain of the upper chain machine 116 has grooves, which scrapes the copper rods from the storage bucket 115 and transports them to the position of the rod pushing mechanism 117. The rod pushing mechanism 117 pushes the copper rods to the winding and interlacing mechanism 118. The winding and interlacing mechanism 118 winds the copper rods and interlaces them into the nickel anode plate, thereby realizing an automated rod threading operation, thereby improving the rod threading efficiency of the nickel anode plate.

[0037] Furthermore, Figures 1-10 As shown, the tilting mechanism 114 includes a tilting drive 1141, which is fixedly mounted on the rod threading auxiliary frame 111, and a tilting frame 1142 is fixedly mounted on the tilting drive 1141. When the tilting drive 1141 is activated, the tilting frame 1142 is driven to move, causing the tilting frame 1142 to change its angle, causing the copper rod box 112 in the tilting frame 1142 to tilt. As a result, the copper rods in the copper rod box 112 slide into the storage hopper 115 under the action of gravity and the tilting frame 1142, thereby effectively avoiding the tedious and inefficient manual handling of the copper rods.

[0038] Further, if Figures 1-8 As shown, the rod pushing mechanism 117 includes a rod pushing fixing plate 1171, which is fixedly mounted on the rod threading auxiliary frame 111, and a through hole 1172 is opened at one end of the rod pushing fixing plate 1171, and a rod pushing cylinder 1173 is fixedly mounted on the rod pushing fixing plate 1171, and the output end of the rod pushing cylinder 1173 is fixedly connected to a pushing plate 1174, and the rod pushing cylinder 1173 is started to drive the pushing plate 1174 to move along the direction of the through hole 1172, and when the pushing plate 1174 contacts the copper rod, the copper rod at the end of the upper chain machine 116 is pushed into the winding and inserting mechanism 118, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the rod threading operation and avoiding the deviation of the copper rod during the movement;

[0039] Among them, Figures 1-10 As shown, the positioning and twisting mechanism 12 includes a fixed frame 121, a lifting and twisting mechanism 122 is provided on the upper end of the fixed frame 121, a translation mechanism 123 is provided below the lifting and twisting mechanism 122, and a plate picking and transferring mechanism 124 is provided on one side of the translation mechanism 123. The lifting and twisting mechanism 122 can drive the nickel anode plate to move in the vertical direction, and perform the wire twisting operation on the nickel anode plate after the rod is passed through. The translation mechanism 123 can drive the nickel anode plate to move in the horizontal direction, and can position the nickel anode plate to a suitable wire twisting position to cooperate with the lifting and twisting mechanism 122. When the wire twisting is completed, the plate picking and transferring mechanism 124 can pick up the nickel anode plate and transfer it to the next process link, thereby realizing the automatic wire twisting of the nickel anode plate, thereby ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the entire wire twisting process.

[0040] Further, such as Figures 1-10As shown, the lifting and twisting mechanism 122 includes two lifting servo electric cylinders 1221, which are respectively fixedly mounted on the fixing frame 121, and the output end of the lifting servo electric cylinder 1221 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 1222, and a plurality of evenly distributed guide roller assemblies 1223 are fixedly mounted on the lifting frame 1222, and roller tracks 1224 are arranged on the outer side of the guide roller assembly 1223, and the plurality of roller tracks 1224 are all fixedly mounted on the fixing frame 121, and a fixing plate 1225 is arranged on the fixing plate 1225, and a plurality of evenly distributed first cylinders 1226 are fixedly mounted on the first cylinder The output end of 1226 is connected to a clamping claw 1227 through a connecting rod mechanism, and two first servo electric cylinders 1228 are fixedly installed on the fixed plate 1225. The output end of the first servo electric cylinder 1228 is fixedly connected to two racks 1229 through a connecting plate. The racks 1229 are engaged with the gears on the clamping claw 1227. The translation mechanism 123 includes a second servo electric cylinder 1231, which is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 121. The output end of the second servo electric cylinder 1231 is fixedly connected to a translation frame 1232. A clamping positioning mechanism 1233 is provided on the translation frame 1232, and a plurality of uniform The distributed translation roller 1234 is provided with a translation track 1235 below the translation roller 1234, and the translation track 1235 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the fixed frame 121. The pick plate transfer mechanism 124 includes a variable frequency brake motor 1241, which is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 121, and the output end of the variable frequency brake motor 1241 is fixedly connected to a driving shaft 1242, and two driving gears 1243 are fixedly connected to the driving shaft 1242. A driven gear 1244 is provided on one side of the driving gear 1243. The driving gear 1243 is connected to the driven gear 1244 through a chain 1245, and the driven gear 1244 is connected to the driven gear 1244. One end is connected to two lifting plate frames 1246 through a gear box. Both lifting plate frames 1246 are provided with lifting plate slots 1247. When the lifting servo electric cylinder 1221 is activated, it pushes the lifting frame 1222 to move in the vertical direction. The lifting guide roller assembly 1223 rolls in the roller track 1224 to ensure the stability of the lifting frame 1222 during the lifting process. The first cylinder 1226 on the fixed plate 1225 controls the opening and closing of the clamping claw 1227 through a connecting rod mechanism to clamp the copper ear wire. At the same time, when the first servo electric cylinder 1228 is working, the rack 1229 drives the gear on the clamping claw 1227 to rotate, so that the clamping claw 1227 completes the twisting action.When the second servo electric cylinder 1231 is started, it pushes the translation frame 1232 to move in the horizontal direction. The clamping positioning mechanism 1233 on the translation frame 1232 is used to fix the nickel anode plate, thereby ensuring the stable position of the anode plate during the translation process, and the translation roller 1234 on the outer side of the translation frame 1232 rolls on the translation track 1235, making the horizontal movement of the translation frame 1232 more stable; when the frequency conversion brake motor 1241 is started, it drives the driving shaft 1242 to rotate, and the two driving gears 1243 on the driving shaft 1242 rotate accordingly. The driving gear 1243 drives the driven gear 1244 to rotate through the chain 1245, and the driven gear 1244 drives the two plate picking racks 1246 to move through the gear box, and picks the nickel anode on the translation mechanism 123 to the next workstation. The plate picking slot 1247 on the plate picking rack 1246 can accurately pick up the nickel anode plate after the twisting is completed, thereby realizing the automated processing of the nickel anode plate;

[0041] Furthermore, Figures 1-10 As shown, the interior of the copper rod box 112 is fixedly installed with several evenly distributed copper rod racks 1121, and the top of the copper rod rack 1121 is fixedly installed with a first lifting ear 1122, and the top of the transfer box 13 is rotatably connected with several evenly distributed second lifting ears 131, and the interior of the transfer box 13 is fixedly installed with several evenly distributed positioning oblique ribs 132, and the lower ends of the transfer box 13 and the copper rod box 112 are provided with slots 133. The copper rod rack 1121 in the copper rod box 112 is used to place the copper rods neatly, and the first lifting ear 1122 at the top is convenient for lifting the copper rod box 112, and the second lifting ear 131 at the top of the transfer box 13 is used for lifting the transfer box 13, and the internal positioning oblique ribs 132 can position and stabilize the nickel anode plates placed therein, ensuring that the items do not shake or deviate during the transfer process, and the slots 133 at the lower ends of the transfer box 13 and the copper rods 112 are convenient for inserting the forks on the forklift, thereby facilitating the transfer of the transfer box 13 and the copper rods 112.

[0042] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the working principle of a nickel anode rod threading and plate arrangement unit provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0043] First, the copper rod box 112 is loaded into the tipping mechanism 114 from the side by a forklift, and the lock box mechanism 113 fixes the position of the copper rod box 112. After the forklift leaves, the tipping mechanism 114 works to dump the copper rods in the copper rod box 112 into the storage bucket 115. The storage bucket 115 detects that the bucket is full, stops the tipping action and keeps it. When the maximum tipping angle is reached and the copper rods are empty, the tipping mechanism 114 returns to its original position, and then the upper chain machine 116 under the storage bucket 115 starts, and the upper chain machine 116 is started. The chain of the chain conveyor 116 has grooves, which scrape the copper rods from the storage bucket 115 and transport them to the position of the rod pusher 117. The rod pusher 117 pushes the copper rods to the winding and interlacing mechanism 118. At this time, the manipulator 15 takes out the nickel anode plates in the transfer box 13 in the material box placement position one by one and feeds them to the translation rack 1232. The clamping and positioning mechanism 1233 fixes the position of the nickel anode plates. The lifting and twisting mechanism 122 descends, and the first cylinder 1226 The connecting rod mechanism drives the clamping jaw 1227 to clamp the nickel anode plate ear wire. At this time, the first servo electric cylinder 1228 drives the rack 1229 to move. The rack 1229 engages with the gear on the clamping jaw 1227, which then drives the clamping jaw 1227 to rotate 90 degrees to complete the twisting of the ear wire. After the twisting is completed, the copper rod is wound into the insertion mechanism 118 and inserted into the nickel anode plate. After the rod is inserted, the pick plate transfer mechanism 124 is started, and the pick plate frame 1246 passes through the pick plate slot 1247. The nickel anode plates are picked up and transferred to the transport vehicle 25. When the transport vehicle 25 moves to the bottom of the lifting conveyor 24, the nickel anode plates are lifted from the transport vehicle 25 by the lifting conveyor 24 and transferred to the plate receiving chain machine 26. The plate receiving chain machine 26 receives the anode plates and passes them to the plate arranging chain machine 27. The plate arranging chain machine 27 arranges and sorts the anode plates. When the nickel anode plates are filled with 76 groups, the anode plates are transferred in groups by the transport vehicle 28 to the plate shelves 23 in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd spans of the workshop. The cranes in each span workshop use the anode hangers to lift the nickel anode plates from the plate shelves 23 and load them into the electrolytic cell. The crane in the 4th span workshop can directly lift the nickel plates from the plate arranging chain machine 27 and load them into the electrolytic cell, completing the entire nickel anode plate threading and plate arranging process.
