Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of preparation of electrolytic aluminum anode materials, and in particular to an anti-falling suction cup clamp for electrolytic aluminum anode materials. Background Art

[0002] Electrolytic aluminum anode material, a key industrial raw material, is typically supplied in rectangular parallelepiped form, boasting a strength of approximately 7.5 MPa and a density of approximately 1.52 g / cm³. A single piece can weigh approximately 500 kg. These anode materials are black in color and generate their own dust. During the production process, the raw block material undergoes cutting to create smaller, differently shaped blanks to accommodate subsequent processing requirements.

[0003] Traditionally, the handling and cutting of electrolytic aluminum anode materials relies primarily on manual labor. Workers use a workshop crane to manually lift incoming materials and place them on the cutting machine for operation. However, with the advancement of industrial automation technology, manual operations are not only inefficient but also pose safety risks, failing to meet the production efficiency and safety requirements of modern industry. Therefore, the development of automated, unmanned workshops to achieve automated handling and cutting of electrolytic aluminum anode materials has become a pressing issue.

[0004] Automated handling systems are a key component in the development of automated, unmanned workshops. However, existing mechanical lifters are mostly manual-operated and lack automatic control, failing to meet the demands of automated production lines. Furthermore, while existing sponge suction cup clamps can absorb materials, most lack fall prevention devices, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, these clamps lack fall prevention mechanisms, resulting in poor safety assurance. Summary of the Invention

[0044] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structure diagram of the material grabbing device in one embodiment of the present application is shown. An anti-fall suction cup clamp for electrolytic aluminum anode material provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a frame 1, a transmission assembly 2, a guide assembly 3, a suction cup assembly 4 and a clamping assembly 5.

[0045] Specifically, the transmission assembly 2 is disposed on the frame 1 and is configured to move longitudinally; the guide assembly 3 is disposed above the transmission assembly 2 and cooperates with the transmission assembly 2 in a guiding manner; the suction cup assembly 4 is movably disposed below the transmission assembly 2 and cooperates with the transmission assembly 2 in transmission; the clamping assembly 5 is telescopically disposed on both sides of the transmission assembly 2 and is configured to move laterally, forming a gripping space for placing materials between the clamping assembly 5 and the suction cup assembly 4. When the clamping assembly 5 moves laterally, it can be used to increase or decrease the gripping space and to clamp the sides and bottom of the material; when the transmission assembly 2 is capable of moving longitudinally, it drives the suction cup assembly 4 and the clamping assembly 5 to move synchronously longitudinally, and the suction cup assembly 4 is used to grip the top of the material.

[0046] In the specific implementation process, when the clamping assembly 5 moves horizontally, the gripping space formed between the clamping assembly 5 and the suction cup assembly 4 can be increased, providing space for subsequent material gripping, while facilitating the suction cup assembly 4 to perform the gripping action. When the clamping assembly 5 moves horizontally, the gripping space can also be reduced to facilitate the contact between the clamping assembly 5 and the material, and to clamp the two sides and bottom of the material, thereby achieving the clamping process of the material and preventing the material from falling off during movement, thereby playing a role in preventing it from falling. When the transmission assembly 2 moves longitudinally, it drives the suction cup assembly 4 and the clamping assembly 5 to move synchronously longitudinally, so that the suction cup assembly 4 can contact the material, and is used to grip the top of the material, thereby achieving precise gripping of the material.

[0047] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly 2 is disposed within the frame 1 and cooperates with the suction cup assembly 4 to drive the suction cup assembly 4 to achieve longitudinal movement. The suction cup assembly 4 is movably disposed below the transmission assembly 2 and includes a vacuum cup 40 connected to a vacuum pump via an air pipe. When the vacuum pump is activated, the vacuum cup 40 generates negative pressure, sucking the top of the material and thereby grasping the top of the material.

[0048] In one embodiment, the suction cup assembly 4 includes a suction cup 40 connected to the transmission assembly 2. The contact surface of the suction cup 40 is made of a high-density sponge material with excellent softness and elasticity. It can closely fit various irregular defects on the surface of the electrolytic aluminum anode, such as protrusions and depressions, and can also compensate for minor surface deformations to a certain extent, ensuring stable and uniform adsorption. At the same time, the sponge material of the suction cup 40 can undergo moderate deformation when subjected to pressure, allowing the suction cup 40 to better adapt to unevenness of the material surface. By deforming, it fills depressions or bypasses protrusions on the material surface, ensuring uniform distribution of adsorption force across the entire contact surface, and avoiding adsorption failure or material damage caused by excessive local pressure.

[0049] Furthermore, to enhance the adsorption effect, the adsorption area of ​​the suction cup 40 can be increased. The contact surface of the suction cup 40 can be customized according to the adsorption surface size of the actual electrolytic aluminum anode material, ensuring that the suction cup 40 can completely cover or cover as much of the material surface as possible, thereby dispersing the adsorption force and improving the stability and safety of adsorption.

[0050] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 5 is retractably mounted on either side of the transmission assembly 2, creating a gripping space for the material between the clamping assembly 5 and the suction cup assembly 4. As the suction cup assembly 4 grabs the top of the material and moves, the clamping assembly 5 clamps the sides and bottom of the material, preventing it from falling and ensuring stability and safety during the gripping process.

[0051] As described above, the anti-fall suction cup fixture for electrolytic aluminum anode material, by combining the frame 1, transmission assembly 2, guide assembly 3, suction cup assembly 4, and clamping assembly 5, achieves stable grasping and efficient handling of the material, improving production and work efficiency, while also preventing it from falling, enhancing safety, and ensuring the integrity of the material. Furthermore, the use of a sponge suction cup 40 effectively solves the adsorption problem caused by surface irregularities of the electrolytic aluminum anode material, improving the stability and reliability of adsorption.

[0052] Combine Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a material grabbing device provided in one embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the frame 1 includes a mounting portion 10. The mounting portion 10 is a horizontally extending plate-like structure used to mount and support the subsequent clamping assembly 5 and suction cup assembly 4. The surface of the mounting portion 1011 is precision-machined to ensure accuracy and stability during installation.

[0053] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 5 includes a clamping portion 50 and a pushing portion 51 .

[0054] Specifically, the clamping portions 50 are configured as a pair of symmetrical L-shaped structures, one located on either side of the mounting portion 10. One end of each clamping portion 50 is connected to the push portion 51, while the other end is used to directly contact and clamp the sides and bottom of the material. The surfaces of the clamping portions 50 that contact the material are covered with a non-slip material, such as rubber or polyurethane, to increase friction with the material and prevent it from slipping during the gripping process.

[0055] Furthermore, two pushers 51 are provided on the mounting portion 10. When the pushers 51 extend, they drive the clamping portions 50 to move laterally, increasing the distance between the clamping portions 50. This adjusts the size of the gripping space to facilitate the placement of materials. When the pushers 51 contract, they drive the clamping portions 50 to move laterally, shortening the distance between the clamping portions 50. This allows the clamping portions 50 to contact both sides and the bottom of the material, thereby clamping and gripping the material.

[0056] Combine Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the material grabbing device provided in one embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 10 includes a first mounting plate 100 , a guide rail mounting plate 101 and a linear guide rail 102 .

[0057] Specifically, the first mounting plate 100 is a rectangular plate-like structure that serves as the foundation for the entire mounting portion 10 and is used to connect and support other components. Two guide rail mounting plates 101 are longitudinally disposed on either side of the surface of the first mounting plate 100 and secured to the first mounting plate 100 by welding, bolting, or other fastening methods. Two linear guide rails 102 are disposed parallel to the two guide rail mounting plates 101 and connected to the guide rail mounting plates 101 by bolts or other fastening methods. The linear guide rails 102 provide precise guidance and support for the lateral movement of the clamping assembly 5, ensuring stability and accuracy during movement.

[0058] In one embodiment, the clamping portion 50 includes a first clamping plate 500a and a second clamping plate 500b.

[0059] Specifically, one end of the first clamping plate 500a is configured as a horizontal structure, connected to the linear guide rails 102 on either side via connectors such as sliders or slides, enabling smooth movement along the linear guide rails 102. The other end of the first clamping plate 500a protrudes downward and bends and extends to form a clamping portion for gripping one side of the material. The inner surface of the clamping portion is covered with a non-slip material, such as rubber or polyurethane, to increase friction with the material and prevent it from slipping during the gripping process.

[0060] The second clamping plate 500b has a similar structure to the first clamping plate 500a, but is positioned parallel to the opposite side of the first clamping plate 500a. One end of the second clamping plate 500b is similarly connected to the linear guide rails 102 on either side via connectors such as sliders or carriages. The other end also projects downward and bends to form a clamping portion for gripping the other side of the material. The clamping portion of the second clamping plate 500b is positioned opposite the clamping portion of the first clamping plate 500a, jointly clamping the material.

[0061] As described above, the linear guide rail 102 provides precise guidance for the lateral movement of the clamping assembly 5, thereby achieving effective grasping and releasing of the material. The device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has high practicality and flexibility by adjusting the size of the grasping space.

[0062] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, Figure 2 、 Figure 4 Schematic diagrams of the structure of the material grabbing device and the structure of the clamping assembly 5 provided in one embodiment of the present application are shown respectively. In some embodiments, the first clamping plate 500a includes a first left clamping plate 501a and a first right clamping plate 502a, and a first crossbar 503a is disposed transversely between the first left clamping plate 501a and the first right clamping plate 502a.

[0063] Specifically, the first clamping plate 500a comprises a first left clamping plate 501a and a first right clamping plate 502a. The first left clamping plate 501a and the first right clamping plate 502a are arranged longitudinally, i.e., perpendicular to the direction of material movement. A first crossbar 503a is secured between the first left clamping plate 501a and the first right clamping plate 502a via welding, bolting, or other fastening methods. The provision of the first crossbar 503a enhances the overall structural strength of the first clamping plate 500a and provides a reliable force point for its connection to the pusher 51.

[0064] In one embodiment, the second clamping plate 500b includes a second left clamping plate 501b and a second right clamping plate 502b, and a second cross bar 503b parallel to the first cross bar 503a is disposed transversely between the second left clamping plate 501b and the second right clamping plate 502b.

[0065] Specifically, the second clamping plate 500b is similar to the first clamping plate 500a, consisting of a second left clamping plate 501b and a second right clamping plate 502b, with a second crossbar 503b fixed therebetween. The second crossbar 503b is arranged parallel to the first crossbar 503a, ensuring the stability of the clamping assembly 5 in the lateral direction, i.e., parallel to the direction of material movement.

[0066] In one embodiment, the pushing portion 51 includes a first telescopic cylinder 510 and a second telescopic cylinder 511 respectively disposed on the first mounting plate 100 .

[0067] Specifically, the first telescopic cylinder 510 is mounted on the first mounting plate 100. The output end of the first telescopic cylinder 510, namely the piston rod, is connected to the first crossbar 503a via a connector. When the first telescopic cylinder 510 is in operation, the telescopic motion of the piston rod is converted into lateral movement of the first clamping plate 500a, thereby driving the movement of one side of the entire clamping assembly 5.

[0068] The second telescopic cylinder 511 is also provided on the first mounting plate 100 and its output end is connected to the second crossbar 503b. The working principle of the second telescopic cylinder 511 is the same as that of the first telescopic cylinder 510, and is responsible for driving the other side of the clamping assembly 5 to move laterally.

[0069] As described above, accurate grasping and stable movement of materials are achieved through the symmetrical arrangement of the first clamping plate 500a and the second clamping plate 500b and the synchronous driving of the pushing portion 51. The device has a simple structure, convenient operation, and high positioning accuracy and grasping stability.

[0070] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, Figure 2 、 Figure 4 They are respectively a schematic diagram of the structure of the material grabbing device provided in an embodiment of the present application and a schematic diagram of the structure of the clamping assembly 5. In some embodiments, the first left clamping plate 501a and the first right clamping plate 502a respectively include a first extending section 505a and a first bending section 506a connected to each other.

[0071] Specifically, the first clamping plate 500a is composed of a first left clamping plate 501a and a first right clamping plate 502a, which are arranged relative to each other in the longitudinal direction. The first extension section 505a is arranged longitudinally and serves as the main body of the clamping assembly 5, slidingly cooperating with the linear guide rail 102 of the mounting portion 10. The length and width of the first extension section 505a are designed according to the size of the material and the gripping requirements to ensure that the clamping assembly 5 has sufficient stability and strength when clamping the material. The connection between the first bending section 506a and the first extension section 505a is bent to form a certain arc, so that the clamping assembly 5 can better adapt to the shape of the material when clamping the material, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the clamping.

[0072] The clamping portion 50 further includes a first baffle 504a, which is disposed transversely between the first bent section 506a of the first left clamping plate 501a and the first right clamping plate 502a. The first baffle 504a provides additional support and restraint when clamping materials, preventing them from slipping or shifting during the clamping process and thus preventing them from falling. The material of the first baffle 504a can be selected based on the properties of the material and the clamping requirements. For example, materials with a certain degree of elasticity and friction, such as rubber or plastic, can be used to further enhance the clamping effect.

[0073] In one embodiment, the second left clamping plate 501b and the second right clamping plate 502b respectively include a second extending section 505b and a second bending section 506b connected to each other.

[0074] Specifically, the second clamping plate 500b is composed of a second left clamping plate 501b and a second right clamping plate 502b, which are longitudinally arranged opposite each other. The second extension section 505b is longitudinally arranged and serves as the other main portion of the clamping assembly 5, slidingly engaging with the linear guide rail 102 of the mounting portion 10. The second bent section 506b is bent at a certain arc at the connection with the second extension section 505b, also improving the stability of the clamping assembly 5.

[0075] Furthermore, the clamping portion 50 further includes a second baffle 504b, which is disposed transversely on the second bent section 506b of the second left clamping plate 501b and the second right clamping plate 502b. The second baffle 504b functions similarly to the first baffle 504a, providing additional support and restraint when clamping the material, thereby preventing the material from slipping or shifting during the clamping process.

[0076] Combine Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 10 is a front view of a material grabbing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 10 includes a second mounting plate 103 and a third mounting plate 104 .

[0077] Specifically, second mounting plate 103 is positioned above first mounting plate 100, with a certain gap between them to ensure sufficient space for installation and operation of transmission assembly 2. Third mounting plate 104 is positioned below first mounting plate 100, also with a certain gap between them. Suction cups 40 are provided on the side of third mounting plate 104 facing away from first mounting plate 100 to absorb and grasp materials.

[0078] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly 2 includes a lifting cylinder 20 , a first linear bearing 21 and a first guide shaft 22 , which are arranged on the first mounting plate 100 .

[0079] Specifically, the lifting cylinder 20 is mounted on the first mounting plate 100, with its output end connected to the surface of the third mounting plate 104 on the side closest to the first mounting plate 100. When the lifting cylinder 20 is in operation, the telescopic movement of its piston rod is converted into the lifting movement of the third mounting plate 104 and the suction cup 40 mounted thereon.

[0080] Furthermore, a first linear bearing 21 is vertically mounted on one side of the first mounting plate 100, while one end of the first guide shaft 22 is connected to the surface of the second mounting plate 103 on the side closest to the first mounting plate 100, and the other end passes through the first linear bearing 21 and is fixed to the third mounting plate 104. When the third mounting plate 104 is raised or lowered, it moves linearly along the first guide shaft 22, preventing deviation and shaking.

[0081] Combine Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 1 is a front view of a material grabbing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 10 further includes a fourth mounting plate 105 .

[0082] Specifically, the fourth mounting plate 105 is disposed above the second mounting plate 103 with a certain gap therebetween. One end of the second guide shaft 31 is disposed on the surface of the fourth mounting plate 105 on the side close to the second mounting plate 103 and cooperates with the guide assembly 3 to achieve a guiding function during the lifting process.

[0083] In one embodiment, the guide assembly 3 includes a second linear bearing 30 , a second guide shaft 31 and a spring 32 .

[0084] Specifically, the second linear bearing 30 is mounted on the surface of the second mounting plate 103 near the first mounting plate 100 and is used to cooperate with the second guide shaft 31 to provide linear guidance during the lifting process. One end of the second guide shaft 31 is mounted on the surface of the fourth mounting plate 105 near the second mounting plate 103, and the other end extends through a through hole 106 in the second mounting plate 103 and into the second linear bearing 30. The cooperation between the second guide shaft 31 and the second linear bearing 30 ensures stability and accuracy during the lifting process.

[0085] Furthermore, a spring 32 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second guide shaft 31, located between the fourth mounting plate 105 and the second linear bearing 30. The function of the spring 32 is to provide a certain buffering and shock absorption effect during the lifting process, preventing equipment damage or precision degradation caused by impact or vibration.

[0086] As described above, the addition of the fourth mounting plate 105 and the corresponding guide assembly 3 achieves high-precision guidance and stable performance during the lifting process. This device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and exhibits high stability and accuracy. Furthermore, the use of buffer elements such as the spring 32 provides improved shock absorption during the lifting process, extending the device's service life.

[0087] In one embodiment, the guide assembly 3 further includes a limiting rod 33 , and the limiting rod 33 is disposed on a surface of the fourth mounting plate 105 close to the second mounting portion 10 .

[0088] Specifically, the limit rod 33 is an outward protrusion on the surface of the fourth mounting plate 105 on the side closest to the second mounting plate 103, and is spaced a certain distance from the second mounting plate 103. When the second mounting plate 103 rises to a certain height, the limit rod 33 contacts the second mounting plate 103, thereby limiting the lifting stroke and preventing equipment damage or safety hazards caused by excessive lifting.

[0089] During the application of the above-mentioned material grabbing equipment, the material grabbing equipment is connected to the external lifting mechanism, and the piston rods of the first telescopic cylinder 510 and the second telescopic cylinder 511 are extended to push the first clamping plate 500a and the second clamping plate 500b to move relative to each other laterally, so as to open the grabbing space between the first clamping plate 500a, the second clamping plate 500b and the suction cup 40.

[0090] When material needs to be sucked and grasped, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 20 extends, driving the sponge suction cup 40 downward. At this point, the distance between the first baffle 504a, the second baffle 504b, and the suction surface of the sponge suction cup 40 gradually decreases. The material-grabbing device, along with the external lifting mechanism, descends above the material, and the sponge suction cup 4 presses against the material surface. The spring 32 begins to compress, acting as a buffer, ensuring that the sponge suction cup 12 adheres tightly to the material surface. Simultaneously, the limit rod 5 acts as a mechanical limiter, preventing damage to the suction cup caused by overpressure.

[0091] After the sponge suction cup 12 completely absorbs the material, the external lifting mechanism lifts the material grabbing equipment and the material to a safe height. At this time, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 20 retracts, driving the sponge suction cup 40 to rise. At this time, the distance between the first baffle 504a, the second baffle 504b and the adsorption surface of the sponge suction cup 40 gradually increases, and the material is in the grabbing space in the vertical direction. The piston rods of the first telescopic cylinder 510 and the second telescopic cylinder 511 on both sides retract, so that the first splint 500a and the second splint 500b are in close contact with the outer surface of the material. At this time, the first baffle 504a and the second baffle 504b are clamped under the material, and together they prevent the material from falling.

[0092] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0093] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
