Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metallurgical equipment, and in particular to a plate entry and exit slot system and method for an electrolysis process. Background Art

[0002] In the metal electrolytic refining process, the electrode plates, as the core carriers of the electrolytic reaction, need to be periodically extracted from the electrolytic cell to strip off the deposited elemental metal, and the empty plates need to be reinserted to maintain continuous production. The traditional operation mode relies on manual operation, which has inherent defects such as low efficiency and great safety hazards. In order to improve the level of automation, a variety of mechanized extraction and discharge devices have been proposed in the prior art, such as the use of overhead cranes equipped with slings to realize batch transfer of electrode plates. However, such systems still have the following defects: the existing devices mostly adopt an operation mode of extracting the electrode plates of the entire cell at one time, which results in an empty cell state in the electrolytic cell, causing a momentary short circuit in the electrolytic cell, which seriously affects the normal production order. In order to solve the short circuit problem, additional copper plates have to be set for conduction, which increases the equipment cost and operation complexity. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0025] (1) Through the independent control of multiple groups of hoists and the dynamic batch extraction strategy, the number of plate replacements can be adjusted on demand, completely avoiding the empty state of the electrolytic cell, so that the electrolytic cell always keeps some plates working normally. There is no need to set up additional devices such as conductive copper plates, which greatly maintains the continuity of production and saves production and maintenance costs.

[0026] (2) The process of plates entering and exiting the tank is optimized by rationally partitioning the first temporary rack, the second temporary rack, and the empty space. The lifting trolley operates efficiently between the first temporary rack, the empty space, and the second temporary rack, and the plates are quickly transferred. Multiple groups of lifting tools operate in batches. During the plate changing process, the lifting trolley mainly moves horizontally, without the need to frequently move along the length of the electrolytic cell. This reduces the plate changing time, greatly improves the plate changing efficiency, and reduces the energy consumption of the equipment.

[0027] (3) By replacing the plates in batches, the number of plates involved in each operation is small. During the lifting and placement process, the posture and force of the plates can be better controlled, reducing the risk of plate deformation due to improper operation and ensuring that the plates can be smoothly placed in the electrolytic cell.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a plate entry and exit system for an electrolytic process, comprising a track beam 100, a plate rack 200, and a lifting trolley 300. The two track beams 100 are arranged in parallel and extend along the width direction of the electrolytic cell. The plate rack 200 is fixedly installed below the track beam 100. The middle part of the plate rack 200 is provided with an empty space 201 for the upper and lower plates corresponding to the electrolytic cell. The width of the empty space 201 is adapted to the width of the plate. A first temporary storage rack 202 and a second temporary storage rack 203 for storing empty plates and plates removed from the electrolytic cell are respectively provided on both sides of the empty space 201. Optionally, in order to achieve the positioning and placement of the plates placed on the first temporary storage rack 202 and the second temporary storage rack 203, a plurality of positioning grooves for positioning the plates are provided on the first temporary storage rack 202 and the second temporary storage rack 203. The lifting trolley 300 is located between the two rail beams 100 and can move along the rail beams 100. The lifting trolley 300 runs between the first temporary storage rack 202, the empty space 201, and the second temporary storage rack 203. It is used to take out the electrode plate from the electrolytic cell through the empty space 201 and transfer it to the second temporary storage rack 203, and take out the empty electrode plate from the first temporary storage rack 202 and place it into the electrolytic cell through the empty space 201.

[0036] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the lifting trolley 300 of this embodiment includes a synchronous movement mechanism 301, a connecting frame 302, a guide sleeve 303, a guide column 304, a lifting drive unit 305, a hanger 306, and a sling 307. The synchronous movement mechanism 301 cooperates with the track beam 100 to achieve synchronous movement, ensuring synchronization of the lifting trolley 300 during lateral movement. The connecting frame 302 connects the synchronous movement mechanism 301 into a whole, enhancing structural stability.

[0037] The guide sleeve 303 is vertically fixed to the connecting frame 302, the guide column 304 vertically passes through the guide sleeve 303, and the hanger 306 is fixed to the bottom of the guide column 304. The guide sleeve 303 and the guide column 304 cooperate to provide precise guidance for the lifting and lowering of the hanger 306, ensuring the stability of the hanger during the lifting process, minimizing the shaking of the plate, and improving the accuracy of the plate placement.

[0038] In this embodiment, the four corners of the hanger 306 are provided with lifting rings. The lifting drive unit 305 includes a drive motor 3051 fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 302. The output end of the drive motor 3051 is drivingly connected to a horizontally arranged rotating shaft 3052, which is mounted on the connecting frame 302 via a bearing seat. The ends of the rotating shaft 3052 are fixedly connected to pulleys 3053. Two connecting belts 3054 are wound around the pulleys 3053. The free ends of the two connecting belts 3054 are extended from the pulleys 3053 and connected to the lifting rings on the same side. This design transmission method has a simple structure and reliable operation, and can achieve smooth lifting and lowering of the hanger and accurately control the lifting height of the hanger.

[0040] The hook drive unit 3072 includes an electric push rod 3073 fixedly mounted on the hanger 306, the output end of the electric push rod 3073 is connected to a linear rack 3074, and the top of each hook 3071 is fixedly connected to a gear 3075 meshing with the linear rack 3074. The synchronous rotation of the hook 3071 is achieved through the cooperation of the electric push rod 3073, the linear rack 3074 and the gear 3075.

[0041] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plate limiting mechanism 204 is installed at the bottom of each of the first temporary storage rack 202 and the second temporary storage rack 203. The plate limiting mechanism 204 includes a slide rail 2041 provided at the bottom of the first temporary storage rack 202 / second temporary storage rack 203, a mobile frame 2042 that slides with the slide rail 2041, and a driving electric cylinder 2043 that drives the mobile frame 2042 along the slide rail 2041. A plurality of positioning blocks 2044 are provided on the side adjacent to the two mobile frames 2042. A clamping gap adapted to the thickness of the plate is defined between the positioning blocks 2044. The positioning blocks 2044 have a triangular cross-section, with guiding slopes on both sides that contact the bottom of the plate. This design facilitates the plate's entry into the clamping gap between the positioning blocks while accurately positioning the plate, ensuring accurate placement during placement.
