Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intermediate processing technology for anode plates, and in particular relates to an intermediate processing device for anode plates used in hydrometallurgy. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrometallurgy is a process that uses aqueous solutions for metal extraction and refining. It is commonly used to process low-grade ores, scrap metals, and recover metals from various solutions. In hydrometallurgy, the anode plate acts as the positive electrode of the current during electrolysis, where electrons flow out. The metal or metal compound on it loses electrons, undergoes an oxidation reaction, and releases metal ions into the electrolyte. These metal ions then accept electrons at the other end of the electrolyte, the cathode plate, undergo a reduction reaction, and deposit as elemental metals. The choice of anode plate has a significant impact on the electrolysis process. It must have good conductivity, sufficient corrosion resistance, and stability to withstand the chemical and electrochemical effects during electrolysis. During the production of anode plates, an overflow port is required in the middle of the anode plate to avoid electrolyte depletion due to extreme differences.

[0003] In hydrometallurgical industries, overflow ports are typically drilled manually in the middle of anode plates, and loading and unloading are done manually. However, manual drilling is not only labor-intensive but also makes it difficult to ensure processing accuracy. Furthermore, as the size of the anode plate increases, its weight also increases, further exacerbating the labor intensity of manual handling and making it difficult to guarantee production efficiency. Alternatively, molds can be made and hydraulic presses can be used for stamping, but the cost of mold making is high and the production cycle is long, increasing production costs.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide an intermediate processing apparatus for anode plates used in hydrometallurgy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intermediate processing device for anode plates used in hydrometallurgy. The device uses a robotic arm to transfer the anode plate and a cylinder to drive multiple drilling machines to move downwards, thereby simultaneously drilling holes in the anode plate.

The mounting plate has several evenly distributed screw holes inside. The multiple drilling rigs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate by bolts.

[0010] The mounting assembly includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the four columns, and a mounting plate is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame.

[0011] The invention is further configured such that the cleaning assembly includes two slotted plates, each slotted plate having a driven wheel rotatably connected inside it, and a drive shaft rotatably connected inside the two slotted plates. Two drive wheels are fixedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft, and the two drive wheels are respectively located inside the two slotted plates. A drive belt is connected to the driven wheel and the corresponding drive wheel externally. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the slotted plates, and the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. A retaining seat is slidably connected to the outside of both slotted plates, and the two retaining seats are respectively fixedly connected to the outside of the two drive belts. A cleaning brush is fixedly connected between the two retaining seats.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the suction assembly includes an extension arm, the extension arm is fixedly connected to the outside of the robotic arm, an adsorption plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extension arm, an air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the adsorption plate, an air pump is fixedly connected to the top of the extension arm, and an air extraction pipe is installed between the inlet end of the air pump and the air outlet pipe.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom of the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of slag discharge holes, and the slag discharge holes correspond to the output end of the drilling machine, and the bottom of the mounting plate is provided with a slag discharge port.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the cleaning brush includes a mounting frame and a brush plate. The mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of two card holders. A plurality of sliding pillars are fixedly connected to the top of the brush plate, and the plurality of sliding pillars are movably sleeved inside the mounting frame. A compression spring is movably sleeved outside the sliding pillars, and the compression spring is located between the mounting frame and the brush plate.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom of the adsorption plate has a plurality of adsorption holes, and the bottom of the adsorption plate is fixedly connected with a plurality of rubber rings, and the rubber rings correspond to the adsorption holes.

[0016] The invention is further configured such that a slag discharge trough is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting frame, and the slag discharge trough is located between two trough plates.

[0017] The invention is further configured such that a high-frequency vibrator is installed on the top of the base frame, and the high-frequency vibrator is located between the upright frame and the robotic arm.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This invention starts an air pump, and then the air inside the adsorption plate is extracted through the air extraction pipe, so that the adsorption plate is under negative pressure. Then the raw material plate is adsorbed at the bottom of the adsorption plate, thereby realizing the automatic transfer of the anode plate.

[0020] 2. This invention uses a robotic arm to place the anode plate inside the mounting plate. Then, by activating a cylinder and multiple drilling machines, the output end of the cylinder pushes the sliding plate downward, thereby driving the multiple drilling machines to move downward together. When the drill bits of the multiple drilling machines come into contact with the raw material plate, holes can be drilled on the raw material plate simultaneously, thereby improving the efficiency of processing the anode plate and ensuring processing accuracy.

[0021] 3. The present invention uses a robotic arm to place the perforated anode plate onto a high-frequency vibrator for stress release, which makes the treated anode plate less prone to deformation and reduces short circuit problems.

[0022] 4. This invention starts the drive motor to drive the transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the two drive wheels to rotate. Then, with the cooperation of the two driven wheels, the two transmission belts can rotate, thereby driving the cleaning brush to move forward. This sweeps the debris on the surface of the anode plate into the slag discharge trough for discharge. Afterward, the anode plate with the holes drilled is removed by the robotic arm. Then, the drive motor is started in reverse, which causes the cleaning brush to move backward, thereby discharging the debris that has fallen into the mounting plate through the slag discharge port and slag discharge hole. This avoids the anode plate being placed unevenly, which could cause the drilling to shift, and also avoids the anode plate from deforming.

[0023] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0035] 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.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please see Figure 1-5The present invention is an intermediate processing device for anode plates used in hydrometallurgy, comprising a base frame 100, a vertical frame 200, a drilling assembly 300, and a placement assembly 400; the vertical frame 200 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 100, the drilling assembly 300 and the placement assembly 400 are both disposed inside the vertical frame 200, a robotic arm 600 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 100, a material suction assembly 700 is disposed outside the robotic arm 600, and a cleaning assembly 500 is disposed on the top of the placement assembly 400;

[0038] The support frame 200 includes four columns 201, all of which are fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 100, and a top plate 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the four columns 201.

[0039] The drilling assembly 300 includes a cylinder 301 and multiple drilling machines 304. The cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 202. Sliding plates 302 are movably sleeved on the outside of the four columns 201. A mounting plate 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 302. The mounting plate 303 has several evenly distributed screw holes inside. The multiple drilling machines 304 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 303 by bolts. By adjusting the installation position of the drilling machines 304, holes can be drilled at corresponding positions inside the anode plate 900, thereby improving the efficiency of processing the anode plate 900 and ensuring processing accuracy.

[0040] The mounting assembly 400 includes a mounting frame 401, which is fixedly connected to the outside of four columns 201. A mounting plate 402 is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 401. By placing the anode plate 900 inside the mounting plate 402, the anode plate 900 can be fixed, preventing the anode plate 900 from shaking during the drilling process. Different anode plates 900 can be fixed by replacing different mounting plates 402.

[0041] Specifically, the suction assembly 700 includes an extension arm 701, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the robotic arm 600. An adsorption plate 702 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extension arm 701, and an air outlet pipe 704 is fixedly connected to the top of the adsorption plate 702. An air pump 703 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension arm 701. An air extraction pipe 705 is installed between the inlet of the air pump 703 and the air outlet pipe 704. The air pump 703 extracts the air from inside the adsorption plate 702, thereby creating a negative pressure inside the adsorption plate 702, which in turn can adsorb the anode plate 900, thus facilitating the automatic transfer of the anode plate 900.

[0042] A high-frequency vibrator 800 is installed on the top of the base frame 100, and the high-frequency vibrator 800 is located between the upright frame 200 and the robotic arm 600. The high-frequency vibrator 800 is used to process the anode plate 900, thereby releasing the stress on the anode plate 900. After the stress is released, the anode plate 900 is not easy to deform, reducing the short circuit problem.

[0043] The bottom of the adsorption plate 702 has multiple adsorption holes, and multiple rubber rings 706 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the adsorption plate 702. The rubber rings 706 correspond to the adsorption holes. The multiple rubber rings 706 can play a buffering role to prevent the adsorption plate 702 from directly contacting the anode plate 900 and causing wear. They can also play a buffering role to make the anode plate 900 more stable.

[0044] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to open a hole in the anode plate 900, firstly, the robotic arm 600 is activated to press the adsorption plate 702 onto the raw material plate. Then, the vacuum pump 703 is activated, and the air inside the adsorption plate 702 is extracted through the vacuum pipe 705, thereby creating a negative pressure inside the adsorption plate 702. The raw material plate can then be adsorbed onto the bottom of the adsorption plate 702. After that, the robotic arm 600 is used to place the anode plate 900 inside the mounting plate 402. Then, the cylinder 301 and multiple drilling machines 304 are activated, and the output end of the cylinder 301 pushes the slide... The moving plate 302 moves downward, which can drive multiple drilling machines 304 to move downward together. Then, when the drill bits of multiple drilling machines 304 come into contact with the raw material plate, holes can be drilled on the raw material plate at the same time. Afterward, the multiple drilling machines 304 are returned to their original positions by the reverse starting cylinder 301. Then, the adsorption plate 702 on the robotic arm 600 is activated to hold the processed anode plate 900. Then, the robotic arm 600 places the anode plate 900 on the high-frequency vibrator 800 for stress release. After the stress release is completed, the processed anode plate 900 can be stacked aside by the robotic arm 600.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Please see Figure 6-8Based on the first specific embodiment, the cleaning assembly 500 includes two slot plates 501. Driven wheels 502 are rotatably connected inside each of the two slot plates 501. A drive shaft 505 is rotatably connected inside each of the two slot plates 501. Two drive wheels 503 are fixedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft 505, and the two drive wheels 503 are respectively located inside the two slot plates 501. Drive belts 504 are drively connected to the external sides of the driven wheels 502 and their corresponding drive wheels 503. A drive motor 508 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the slot plates 501, and the drive shaft 505 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 508. A retainer 506 is slidably connected to the outside of each of the two slot plates 501, and the two retainers 506 are respectively fixedly connected to the outside of the two drive belts 504. A cleaning brush 507 is fixedly connected between the two retainers 506. By moving the cleaning brush 507 along the surface of the anode plate 900, debris on the surface of the anode plate 900 can be cleaned.

[0047] Specifically, the cleaning brush 507 includes a mounting bracket 507a and a brush plate 507b. The mounting bracket 507a is fixedly connected to the top of two card holders 506. The top of the brush plate 507b is fixedly connected to multiple sliding pillars 507c, and the multiple sliding pillars 507c are movably sleeved inside the mounting bracket 507a. A pressure spring 507d is movably sleeved on the outside of the sliding pillars 507c, and the pressure spring 507d is located between the mounting bracket 507a and the brush plate 507b. By pushing the brush plate 507b downward by the pressure spring 507d, the cleaning effect of the brush plate 507b can be guaranteed.

[0048] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting plate 402 is provided with multiple slag discharge holes 402a, and the slag discharge holes 402a correspond to the output end of the drilling machine 304. The bottom of the mounting plate 402 is provided with a slag discharge port 402b. The multiple slag discharge holes 402a can facilitate the discharge of debris during the drilling process, and the slag discharge port 402b can facilitate the brush plate 507b to sweep out the debris in the mounting plate 402, thereby avoiding the anode plate 900 from being placed unevenly, which would cause the drilling to shift.

[0049] The frame 401 is externally fixedly connected to a slag discharge trough 403, which is located between two trough plates 501. The slag discharge trough 403 facilitates the collection of debris.

[0050] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to clean the debris, the drive motor 508 is started first to drive the transmission shaft 505 to rotate, which then drives the two drive wheels 503 to rotate. Then, with the cooperation of the two driven wheels 502, the two transmission belts 504 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning brush 507 to move forward, so that the debris on the surface of the anode plate 900 can be swept into the slag discharge trough 403 and discharged. Then, the anode plate 900 with holes completed is taken out by the robotic arm 600. Then, the drive motor 508 is started in reverse, so that the cleaning brush 507 can move backward, so that the debris that has fallen into the mounting plate 402 can be discharged through the slag discharge port 402b and the slag discharge hole 402a.
