Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nickel electrolysis production equipment technology, specifically to a device for opening the starter sheet before peeling off. Background Technology
[0002] In the nickel electrolysis production process at smelters, the starter sheet is prepared by electrolysis, and its peeling effect from the seed plate directly affects production efficiency. Successful peeling of the starter sheet depends on two key processes: pre-peeling with vibration and opening with a spade. If these two processes are missing, or if the vibration force and frequency are not properly controlled, resulting in excessive vibration, or if the opening size is too large, the starter sheet will detach from the seed plate prematurely, causing production downtime. If the vibration effect is poor or the opening is not up to standard, the starter sheet will be difficult to peel from the seed plate, similarly affecting production efficiency.
[0003] In existing technologies, the initial electrode stripping process generally lacks automated vibration pre-stripping and shovel opening devices. For initial electrodes that fail to be stripped successfully, manual assistance is required to open the opening before further stripping. This method is not only labor-intensive and costly, but also cannot achieve a high degree of automation in initial electrode stripping, resulting in a low success rate and severely restricting the continuity and efficiency of nickel electrolysis production.
[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be designed to address this issue. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for opening the pre-vibration opening of the starter sheet before peeling off, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a device for opening the opening of a pre-vibration stripping device for a starting electrode sheet, comprising a frame, a first support frame provided on one side of the inner cavity of the frame, and air hammer mounting seats fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the first support frame, wherein a positioning clamping device is fixedly installed at both ends of one of the air hammer mounting seats for clamping the workpiece, and multiple evenly distributed air hammers are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the air hammer mounting seat. A second support frame is provided on the other side of the inner cavity of the frame. Carrier plates are provided on both sides of the top of the second support frame. The bottom of the carrier plate is fixedly installed on the top of the second support frame. A side plate is provided on one side of the carrier plate. Multiple evenly distributed blade mounting seats are connected to one side wall of the side plate. A blade lateral movement cylinder is fixedly installed in the middle of one side wall of the side plate. The push rod of the blade lateral movement cylinder moves through the carrier plate and is fixedly connected to the protrusion on the carrier plate. A blade lifting cylinder is fixedly installed on the blade mounting seat. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the blade lifting cylinder. The connecting frame is slidably installed on the outer wall of the blade mounting seat, and a blade is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting frame. A blade opening positioning device is also installed at both ends of one of the carrier plates.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the titanium seed plate is conveyed to the vibratory hammering station, the positioning and clamping device installed on the frame positions and clamps the titanium seed plate. The air hammers installed on the air hammer mounting seats on both sides of the titanium seed plate are activated, and the surface of both sides of the titanium seed plate is hammered evenly according to the set frequency and force, so as to reduce the bonding strength between the starter sheet and the seed plate. After the hammering is completed, the positioning and clamping device releases the positioning and clamping of the titanium seed plate, and the titanium seed plate is transferred to the peeling opening station. The peeling opening positioning device positions and clamps the titanium seed plate, and the scrapers on both sides of the titanium seed plate rise under the action of the scraper lifting cylinder. The lateral movement cylinders on both sides of the scraper activate, driving the scraper lifting cylinder, scraper mounting base, and scraper, all mounted on the lateral movement rail, to move simultaneously towards the titanium seed plate, bringing the scraper into contact with it. The scraper lifting cylinder then activates again, moving the scraper downwards, thus separating the starter sheet from the seed plate to form an opening. After the opening is complete, the scraper lifting cylinders on both sides of the titanium seed plate activate, moving the scraper upwards. The lateral movement cylinders on both sides of the titanium seed plate activate, driving the scraper lifting cylinder, scraper mounting base, and scraper to move simultaneously in the opposite direction to the titanium seed plate. The scraping and opening positioning device releases its positioning and clamping of the titanium seed plate. The pre-stripped and opened titanium seed plate is then transferred to the next process.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a peeling opening positioning device is fixedly installed at both ends of one of the carrier plates. The peeling opening positioning device includes a second clamping cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the carrier plate by a retainer. The push rod of the second clamping cylinder passes through the retainer and is connected to a second clamp.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the second clamping cylinder can drive the second chuck to rise and fall, thereby clamping the titanium seed plate, which facilitates further peeling operations and ensures the stability of the peeling operation.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a clamping plate is further provided on the lower side of the carrier plate, and a third clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to one side wall of the clamping plate. The third clamping cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping plate is moved by the third clamping cylinder, thereby using the clamping plates on both sides to clamp the titanium seed plate, thus achieving secondary clamping, which helps to improve the stability of the titanium seed plate.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sliding block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shovel mounting base, the sliding block is fitted onto a transverse slide rail, and the transverse slide rail is fixedly installed on the top of the carrier plate.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the blade mounting base can be driven to slide stably when the blade lateral movement cylinder is working, and the trajectory is limited, thereby ensuring that the blade can move sideways stably.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the shovel mounting base is fixedly connected to an end plate, and a compression spring is fixedly connected to one side wall of the end plate, with the outer end of the compression spring being fixedly connected to the side plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the shovel lateral movement cylinder drives the side plate to move, the shovel mounting base and the shovel move accordingly. As a result, when the shovel is in contact with the titanium seed plate, a pressure spring is applied. Similarly, the pressure spring pushes the shovel back to ensure that it can be tightly attached to the surface of the titanium seed plate, thereby ensuring the subsequent shoveling effect.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, multiple evenly distributed laser detection devices are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the frame.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the size of the opening is detected by laser to determine whether it meets the opening requirements.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the positioning and clamping device includes a positioning and clamping cylinder and a positioning chuck. The positioning and clamping cylinder is fixed at the end of the air hammer mounting base, and the positioning chuck is connected to the outer end of the push rod of the positioning and clamping cylinder.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning clamping cylinder drives the positioning chuck to move, thereby positioning and clamping the titanium seed plate, thus facilitating the hammering operation.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the support legs of the frame is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, and mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the surface of the mounting plate. The mounting plate and the mounting holes facilitate the installation and fixing of the entire device.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention, through the coordinated operation of a vibratory hammering station and a shovel-splitting opening station, enables fully automated pre-peeling and opening of the starter sheet. The entire process requires no manual intervention, significantly reducing the labor intensity of workers and minimizing labor costs in the production process. It also achieves a high degree of automation in the pre-treatment of the starter sheet before peeling, effectively solving the problem of reliance on manual assistance in existing technologies. Simultaneously, the hammering frequency and force of the pneumatic hammer can be flexibly adjusted, effectively reducing the adhesion strength between the starter sheet and the seed plate while avoiding damage to the surface of the starter sheet. The shovel, through a pressure spring, can tightly adhere to the titanium seed plate, and its lifting and lateral movements ensure stable opening results, providing a good foundation for subsequent automatic peeling of the starter sheet and significantly improving the peeling success rate. Furthermore, this equipment avoids downtime caused by starter sheet detachment or peeling failure, effectively ensuring the continuity of nickel electrolysis production and thus improving overall production efficiency.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting.

The model numbers of the electrical appliances provided in this invention are for reference only, and different models of electrical appliances with the same function can be replaced according to actual usage.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a device for opening the opening of the starting electrode sheet before peeling off the starting electrode sheet, including a frame 1, a first support frame is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the frame 1, and air hammer mounting seats 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the first support frame. A positioning clamping device 2 is fixed at both ends of one of the air hammer mounting seats 3 for clamping the workpiece. Multiple evenly distributed air hammers 4 are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the air hammer mounting seat 3. A second support frame is provided on the other side of the inner cavity of the frame 1. Carrier plates are provided on both sides of the top of the second support frame. The bottom of the carrier plate is fixedly installed on the top of the second support frame. A side plate is provided on one side of the carrier plate. Multiple evenly distributed scraper mounting seats 6 are connected to one side wall of the side plate. A scraper transverse movement cylinder 11 is fixedly installed in the middle of one side wall of the side plate. The push rod of the scraper transverse movement cylinder 11 moves through the carrier plate and is fixedly connected to the protrusion on the carrier plate. A scraper lifting cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the scraper mounting seat 6. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the scraper lifting cylinder 8. The connecting frame is slidably installed on the outer wall of the scraper mounting seat 6, and a scraper 7 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting frame. A scraper opening positioning device 5 is also installed at both ends of one of the carrier plates for positioning the workpiece during scraping.
[0028] It should be understood that in actual use, when the titanium seed plate is conveyed to the vibratory hammering station, the positioning and clamping device 2 installed on the frame 1 positions and clamps the titanium seed plate. The air hammers 4 installed on the air hammer mounting seats 3 on both sides of the titanium seed plate are activated, and the surface of both sides of the titanium seed plate is hammered evenly according to the set frequency and force, so as to reduce the bonding strength between the starter sheet and the seed plate. After the hammering is completed, the positioning and clamping device 2 releases the positioning and clamping of the titanium seed plate, and the titanium seed plate is transferred to the peeling and opening station. The peeling and opening positioning device 5 installed on both sides of the titanium seed plate positions and clamps the titanium seed plate. The scrapers 7 on both sides of the titanium seed plate rise under the action of the scraper lifting cylinder 8. When the transverse cylinder 11 operates, it drives the scraper lifting cylinder 8, scraper mounting seat 6, and scraper 7, all mounted on the transverse slide rail 13, to move simultaneously towards the titanium seed plate, bringing scraper 7 into contact with it. The scraper lifting cylinder 8 then operates again, causing scraper 7 to move downwards, thus separating the starter sheet from the seed plate to form an opening. After the opening is complete, the scraper lifting cylinders 8 on both sides of the titanium seed plate operate, driving scraper 7 upwards. The scraper transverse cylinders 11 on both sides of the titanium seed plate operate, causing the scraper lifting cylinder 8, scraper mounting seat 6, and scraper 7 to move simultaneously in the opposite direction to the titanium seed plate. The scraper opening positioning device 5 releases its positioning and clamping of the titanium seed plate. The pre-stripped and opened titanium seed plate is then transferred to the next process.
[0029] Furthermore, the bottom of the legs of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, and mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the mounting plate. The mounting plate and mounting holes facilitate the installation and fixation of the entire device.
[0030] Furthermore, the positioning and clamping device 2 includes a positioning and clamping cylinder 202 and a positioning chuck 201. The positioning and clamping cylinder 202 is fixed at the end of the air hammer mounting base 3, and the positioning chuck 201 is connected to the outer end of the push rod of the positioning and clamping cylinder 202. It should be understood that the positioning clamping cylinder 202 drives the positioning chuck 201 to move, thereby positioning and clamping the titanium seed plate, thus facilitating the hammering operation.
[0031] like Figure 3 and 5 As shown, both ends of one of the carrier plates are fixedly installed with a shovel opening positioning device 5. The shovel opening positioning device 5 includes a second clamping cylinder 502. The second clamping cylinder 502 is fixedly installed on the carrier plate by a retainer. The push rod of the second clamping cylinder 502 passes through the retainer and is connected to a second chuck 501. It should be understood that the second clamping cylinder 502 can drive the second chuck 501 to rise and fall, thereby clamping the titanium seed plate, which facilitates further peeling operations and ensures the stability of the peeling operation.
[0032] like Figure 1 and4 As shown, a clamping plate 1201 is also provided on the lower side of the carrier plate. A third clamping cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the clamping plate 1201. The third clamping cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. It should be understood that by moving the clamping plate 1201 through the third clamping cylinder 12, the titanium seed plate can be clamped by the clamping plates 1201 on both sides, thereby achieving secondary clamping, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the titanium seed plate.
[0033] like Figure 1 and 3 As shown, a sliding block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the blade mounting base 6. The sliding block is fitted onto the transverse slide rail 13, which is fixedly installed on the top of the carrier plate. It should be understood that when the blade transverse cylinder 11 is working, it can drive the blade mounting base 6 to slide stably, and the trajectory is limited, thereby ensuring that the blade 7 can move transversely stably.
[0034] Furthermore, one end of the shovel mounting base 6 is fixedly connected to an end plate, and a compression spring 9 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the end plate. The outer end of the compression spring 9 is fixedly connected to the side plate. It should be understood that when the shovel lateral movement cylinder 11 moves the side plate, the shovel mounting base 6 and the shovel 7 move accordingly. As a result, when the shovel 7 is in contact with the titanium seed plate, it will apply pressure to the clamping spring 9. Similarly, the clamping spring 9 pushes the shovel 7 back to make it fit tightly against the surface of the titanium seed plate, thereby ensuring the subsequent shoveling effect.
[0035] like Figure 1 and 5 As shown, multiple evenly distributed laser detection devices 10 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the frame 1. The laser detection device 10 is specifically a laser rangefinder. By emitting a laser beam to cover the opening area, it indirectly obtains key size parameters such as the width, height, and diameter of the opening by using the linear propagation characteristics of the laser, the phase difference / time difference of the reflected / transmitted signals, or the shape analysis of the laser spot / strip by the image sensor. Laser is used to detect the size of the opening, thereby determining whether it meets the opening requirements.
[0036] Furthermore, the components included in the pre-vibration opening device for stripping the starter sheet of the present invention are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle space of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power elements, electrical components, and the matching monitoring computer and power supply, are connected by wires. The electrical connection between each electrical component is completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection method is a well-known technology in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control.
[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
