In related technologies, the leveling and grinding of cathode plates are typically done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and results in high overall costs. Furthermore, the degree of manual operation is difficult to quantify, potentially causing additional damage to the cathode plate, indicating room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0050] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0051] The following is for reference. Figures 1-20 A cathode plate online leveling and polishing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0052] like Figures 1-20 As shown, the online cathode plate leveling and grinding device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a conveying module 10, a pick-and-place module 20, two processing modules 30, a grinding roller 34, and multiple striking elements 35. The conveying module 10 can load multiple cathode plates 200 (such as copper electrolytic stainless steel cathode plates), which is beneficial for the storage and transfer of multiple cathode plates 200. The pick-and-place module 20 can pick up and place cathode plates 200, so that the same cathode plate 200 can move between different modules, so that the cathode plate 200 can undergo multiple leveling and grinding processes in sequence, which is beneficial for realizing the automated operation of the cathode plate 200 and improving the intelligence of the online cathode plate leveling and grinding device 100.

[0053] Each processing module 30 may include a movable component 31 and a processing platform 33. The processing platform 33 is used to place the cathode plate 200. The movable component 31 can move relative to the processing platform 33. The processing module 30 may also include a grinding roller 34 and a plurality of striking elements 35. The plurality of striking elements 35 may be mounted on the movable component 31 of one processing module 30 and may be located directly above the processing platform 33 of that processing module 30, so that the plurality of striking elements 35 can strike the cathode plate 200 to level the cathode plate 200. The grinding roller 34 may be mounted on the movable component 31 of another processing module 30 and may be located directly above the processing platform 33 of that processing module 30, so that the grinding roller 34 can contact the cathode plate 200 and rotate relative to the cathode plate 200 to grind the cathode plate 200.

[0054] Understandably, another processing module 30 may also be equipped with a dust removal component 39. The dust removal component 39 can discharge the waste material (such as powder) generated by the grinding roller 34 grinding the cathode plate 200. This can prevent the waste material from accumulating on the processing platform 33 and the cathode plate 200, reduce the probability of the cathode plate 200 being damaged due to excessive waste accumulation, improve the grinding effect on the cathode plate 200, and prevent the waste material from splashing in the air. This can reduce the risk of injury to operators due to excessive waste splashing in the air, thereby improving the safety of the cathode plate online leveling and grinding device 100 and facilitating the collection of waste material.

[0055] It should be explained that the dust removal component 39 can be an exhaust duct, which can have a connected air inlet and an air outlet. The exhaust duct can be equipped with a blower, which can drive outside air to first enter the exhaust duct through the air inlet and then be discharged through the air outlet. The air inlet can be directly facing the processing platform 33, so that the dust removal component 39 can discharge the waste generated by the grinding roller 34 grinding the cathode plate 200.

[0056] The movable component 31 can move along intersecting first and second directions to drive the grinding roller 34 and multiple striking elements 35. The multiple striking elements 35 can be staggered along a third direction. The grinding roller 34 can extend along the third direction, which can intersect with the first and second directions respectively. For example, the first direction (e.g., ...) Figure 2 (as shown in the up and down direction), second direction (such as...) Figure 2 (as shown in the forward and backward directions) and third direction (such as...) Figure 2 The left and right directions shown can be perpendicular to each other, so that the striking part 35 and the grinding roller 34 can be raised and lowered separately to avoid the cathode plate 200, which is beneficial for the cathode plate 200 to be picked up and placed on the processing platform 33.

[0057] At the same time, the horizontal movement direction of multiple striking parts 35 (such as...) Figure 2The front-to-back direction shown) and the arrangement direction of the multiple striking parts 35 (such as...) Figure 2 The left and right directions shown are both on the same horizontal plane and intersect (e.g., perpendicular), which can increase the contact range between the multiple striking parts 35 and the cathode plate 200, which is beneficial to improving the leveling effect of the cathode plate 200, and the horizontal movement direction of the grinding roller 34 (e.g., the ...)). Figure 9 The front-to-back direction shown) and the extension direction of the grinding roller 34 (as shown) Figure 9 The left and right directions shown are both on the same horizontal plane and intersect (as shown in the figure, perpendicular), which can increase the contact range between the grinding roller 34 and the cathode plate 200, and is beneficial to improving the grinding effect on the cathode plate 200.

[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cathode plate online leveling and polishing device 100, by setting a conveying module 10 and a processing module 30, and by setting a pick-and-place module 20 near the above modules, allows the cathode plate 200 to move automatically between different modules and perform multiple leveling and polishing processes in sequence. This enables the leveling and polishing of the cathode plate 200 and achieves automated operation of the cathode plate 200 by the online leveling and polishing device 100. This improves the intelligence of the online leveling and polishing device 100, thereby increasing the efficiency of leveling and polishing the cathode plate 200, shortening the leveling and polishing time of the cathode plate 200, reducing the leveling and polishing cost of the cathode plate 200, and improving the quantification of leveling and polishing of the cathode plate 200, thus reducing the probability of damage to the cathode plate 200 during leveling and polishing.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the cathode plate online leveling and grinding device 100 may further include a fine calibration module 40, which may be disposed in a third direction (e.g., the processing module 30 is located in the third direction) of the processing module 30. Figure 1 One side of the left and right directions shown (e.g.) Figure 1 (As shown on the right), this allows the calibration module 40 to interface with the processing module 30, so that the cathode plate 200 can move automatically between the calibration module 40 and the processing module 30. This facilitates the automated operation of the cathode plate 200 by the online cathode plate leveling and grinding device 100 and enhances the intelligence of the online cathode plate leveling and grinding device 100.

[0060] The calibration module 40 may include a calibration support 44, a plurality of first calibration rollers 41, and a plurality of second calibration rollers 42. The plurality of first calibration rollers 41 are rotatably connected to the calibration support 44, and the plurality of second calibration rollers 42 are rotatably connected to the calibration support 44. The plurality of first calibration rollers 41 can be rotatably connected to a third direction (e.g., ...). Figure 10 Multiple second precision rollers 42 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction (as shown), and can be arranged along a third direction (such as...). Figure 10 The multiple first precision calibration rollers 41 and the multiple second precision calibration rollers 42 are arranged at intervals in the first direction (as shown in the left-right direction), and the multiple first precision calibration rollers 41 and the multiple second precision calibration rollers 42 are arranged at intervals in the first direction (as shown in the left-right direction). Figure 10 The first calibration roller 41 and its corresponding second calibration roller 42 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction shown, and there can be a gap 43 between each first calibration roller 41 and its corresponding second calibration roller 42, so that the cathode plate 200 can pass through the gap 43 between multiple corresponding first calibration rollers 41 and second calibration rollers 42 in sequence.

[0061] During the process of the cathode plate 200 passing through the gap 43, the first precision roller 41 and the second precision roller 42, which are arranged opposite to each other, can respectively contact the opposite sides of the cathode plate 200 (e.g., Figure 11 The surfaces of the cathode plate 200 (shown as upper and lower sides) come into contact, thereby engaging the first calibration roller 41 and the second calibration roller 42. By applying pressure to the cathode plate 200, leveling of the cathode plate 200 is achieved. During this process, the first calibration roller 41 and the second calibration roller 42 can rotate simultaneously in opposite directions, driving the cathode plate 200 along one direction (e.g., ...). Figure 10 (As shown, the direction from left to right or from right to left) passes through gap 43.

[0062] It is understandable that the contact range between the fine calibration roller and the cathode plate 200 is larger than the contact range between the multiple striking elements 35 and the cathode plate 200. Furthermore, the uniformity of the force applied by the fine calibration roller to the cathode plate 200 is better than the uniformity of the force applied by the multiple striking elements 35. Therefore, compared to the coarse calibration method of the processing module 30, which uses multiple striking elements 35 to strike the cathode plate 200 for coarse calibration, the fine calibration module 40 can improve the calibration accuracy of the cathode plate 200 to achieve fine calibration. Moreover, the cathode plate online calibration and grinding device 100 of this application requires a parallel calibration method of coarse and fine calibration, so that the processing module 30 and the fine calibration module 40 can share the calibration work of the device, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the cathode plate online calibration and grinding device 100.

[0063] It should be noted that the cathode plate 200, after being manufactured, has a basic thickness (e.g., 3.25 mm). The size of the aforementioned gap 43 must be greater than or equal to the basic thickness of the cathode plate 200; that is, the smallest gap 43 among the aforementioned gaps 43 can be 3.25 mm, and as... Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, in the direction from left to right, the gap 43 between the multiple oppositely arranged first calibration rollers 41 and second calibration rollers 42 gradually decreases until the size of the gap 43 is equal to the basic thickness of the cathode plate 200.

[0064] Thus, when the cathode plate 200 moves from the processing module 30 to the precision calibration module 40, the precision calibration roller can rotate in the forward direction (as in...). Figure 10 As shown in the rear-to-front view, the first calibration roller 41 rotates counterclockwise, and the second calibration roller 42 rotates clockwise to drive the cathode plate 200 in the forward direction (e.g., Figure 10 The calibration roller (as shown in the left-to-right direction) passes through multiple gaps 43 to achieve fine calibration of the cathode plate 200, and after fine calibration is completed, the calibration roller can rotate in the reverse direction (as shown in the left-to-right direction). Figure 10 As shown in the rear-to-front view, the first calibration roller 41 rotates clockwise, and the second calibration roller 42 rotates counterclockwise to drive the cathode plate 200 in the opposite direction (e.g., Figure 10 The movement (from right to left) is directed onto the processing module 30.

[0065] like Figure 1 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the calibration module 40 may further include a first drive member 51 and a transmission assembly 45. The transmission assembly 45 may include a plurality of first gears 451 and a plurality of second gears 452. Each end of the first calibration roller 41 and each second calibration roller 42 may be connected to a first gear 451. The two first gears 451 on the oppositely arranged first calibration roller 41 and second calibration roller 42 mesh with each other, so that the first calibration roller 41 and the second calibration roller 42 can rotate simultaneously in opposite directions.

[0066] The second gear 452 is rotatably connected to the calibration support 44, and each second gear 452 can be respectively connected to a third direction (e.g., Figure 10 Two adjacent first gears 451 arranged in the left-right direction (as shown) mesh, so that the multiple first gears 451 arranged in the third direction can rotate in the same direction, that is, the multiple first gears 451 on the multiple first precision rollers 41 rotate in the same direction, and the multiple first gears 451 on the multiple second precision rollers 42 rotate in the same direction.

[0067] The first driving member 51 can be mounted on the precision calibration support 44. The first driving member 51 can drive the first gear 451, the second gear 452, the first precision calibration roller 41 or the second precision calibration roller 42 to rotate, so as to drive the first precision calibration roller 41 and the second precision calibration roller 42 to rotate in opposite directions through the transmission assembly 45, thereby realizing the precision calibration of the cathode plate 200. It is understood that the first driving member 51 can be a drive motor. The output shaft of the drive motor can be connected to the end of the rotating shaft of the first precision calibration roller 41 or the second precision calibration roller 42, or the output shaft of the drive motor can be connected to the middle of the first gear 451 or the second gear 452.

[0068] like Figure 11 and Figure 15As shown, in some embodiments, the outer periphery of the first calibration roller 41 may have an annular first groove 411, and the first groove 411 may be located at the end of the first calibration roller 41 (e.g., Figure 15 The front end shown), and the annular first groove 411 can extend circumferentially along the first calibration roller 41, the outer periphery of the second calibration roller 42 can have an annular second groove 421, the second groove 421 can be located at the end of the second calibration roller 42 (e.g., the ... second calibration roller 42 can have an annular second groove 421, the second groove 421 can be located at the end of the second calibration roller 42 (e.g., the front end Figure 15 The front end shown), and the second groove 421 can extend circumferentially along the second precision roller 42, the second groove 421 and the first groove 411 can be in a second direction (such as Figure 15 The positions in the front and back directions shown correspond to each other.

[0069] Thus, the second groove 421 cooperates with the first groove 411 to avoid the electrolytic rod 210 of the cathode plate 200, which can ensure the uniformity of the force applied to the cathode plate 200 by the calibration roller, improve the calibration effect of the cathode plate 200, and achieve the calibration of the cathode plate 200 without removing the electrolytic rod 210. This can ensure the structural strength of the cathode plate 200, reduce the waste of materials (such as the electrolytic rod 210), and reduce costs.

[0070] like Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the calibration support 44 may include a base body 441 and an adjustment assembly 442. The adjustment assembly 442 may include an adjustment frame 4421, an adjustment block 4422, and an adjustment rod 4423. The adjustment frame 4421 can be connected to the base body 441, the adjustment block 4422 can be slidably connected to the adjustment frame 4421, and the adjustment rod 4423 can be threadedly connected to the adjustment frame 4421. One end of the adjustment rod 4423 (e.g., ...) Figure 15 The lower end shown can be connected to the adjusting block 4422, so that the adjusting block 4422 can be driven to move relative to the adjusting frame 4421 by rotating the adjusting rod 4423.

[0071] Adjusting block 4422 can be coupled to the end of the first precision roller 41 (e.g. Figure 15 The left and right ends shown are rotatably connected, or the adjusting block 4422 can be connected to the end of the second precision roller 42 (as shown). Figure 15 The left and right ends shown are rotatably connected. Alternatively, the ends of the first calibration roller 41 and the second calibration roller 42 can be rotatably connected to the adjusting block 4422 of an adjusting assembly 442, so that the size of the gap 43 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod 4423.

[0072] It is understood that the second gear 452 can be rotatably connected to the adjusting block 4422 of the adjusting assembly 442, so that the position of the second gear 452 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod 4423, which is beneficial to control the engagement or disengagement of the second gear 452 with the first gear 451, so as to adjust the number of rotatable fine-tuning rollers.

[0073] It should be noted that the adjusting block 4422 can slide relative to the adjusting frame 4421 along the extension direction of the adjusting rod 4423. In the fine calibration module 40, the extension direction of the adjusting rod 4423 is as follows: Figure 12 As shown in the up-down direction, by rotating the adjusting rod 4423, the adjusting block 4422 can move relative to the adjusting frame 4421, thereby driving the first fine calibration roller 41, the second fine calibration roller 42 or the second gear 452 to move up and down, which is beneficial to adjust the size of the gap 43, and also beneficial to control the engagement or disengagement of the second gear 452 with the first gear 451.

[0074] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the processing module 30 may further include a processing support 36, and the movable component 31 and the processing platform 33 may be respectively disposed on the processing support 36, and the movable component 31 and the processing platform 33 are in a third direction (e.g., Figure 2 Corresponding to the position in the left and right directions shown, the machining support 36 can be provided with multiple drive shafts 37, and the multiple drive shafts 37 can be arranged at intervals along the third direction. The machining platform 33 can have multiple clearance openings 331 for avoiding the drive shafts 37.

[0075] At least a portion of the drive shaft 37 can be located within the clearance opening 331. Based on the premise that the cathode plate 200 can be placed on the processing platform 33, it can be ensured that the cathode plate 200 is in contact with the drive shaft 37, so that the drive shaft 37 can rotate under the drive of the drive motor to drive the cathode plate 200 to move in a third direction. This allows the cathode plate 200 to perform multiple leveling and grinding processes in sequence, which is beneficial to realize the automated operation of the cathode plate 200 by the online leveling and grinding device 100 and to improve the intelligence of the online leveling and grinding device 100.

[0076] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the processing platform 33 facing the striking member 35 (e.g.) Figure 4 The upper side shown may have a clearance groove 332, which may be along a third direction (e.g., Figure 7Extending in the left and right directions as shown, the clearance groove 332 can be connected to multiple clearance ports 331 respectively. Based on the clearance of the drive shaft 37, the clearance of the electrolytic rod 210 of the cathode plate 200 can be achieved.

[0077] This ensures the uniformity of the force applied by the striking element 35 to the cathode plate 200, guaranteeing the coarse adjustment effect of the cathode plate 200. It also ensures the uniformity of the force applied by the grinding roller 34 to the cathode plate 200, guaranteeing the grinding effect of the cathode plate 200. At the same time, the coarse adjustment and grinding of the cathode plate 200 can be achieved without removing the electrolytic rod 210, which can ensure the structural strength of the cathode plate 200 and reduce the waste of materials (such as the electrolytic rod 210), thus reducing costs.

[0078] The outer periphery of the drive shaft 37 may have an annular third groove 371, and the third groove 371 may be located at the end of the drive shaft 37 (e.g., Figure 7 As shown in the front end), and the third groove 371 can extend circumferentially along the drive shaft 37, which can realize the avoidance of the electrolytic rod 210 of the cathode plate 200, thereby ensuring the stability of the cathode plate 200's movement. The third groove 371 and the avoidance groove 332 can be in the second direction (e.g., Figure 7 The positions in the front and back directions shown correspond, and the third groove 371 and the avoidance groove 332 can cooperate to avoid the electrolytic rod 210 of the cathode plate 200. This can reduce the probability of the cathode plate 200 tilting or shaking on the processing platform 33, improve the roughing effect of the cathode plate 200, and improve the polishing effect of the cathode plate 200.

[0079] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting member 333 is provided on the processing platform 33. The limiting member 333 can limit the cathode plate 200 on the processing platform 33, which can ensure the stability of the cathode plate 200 on the processing platform 33, reduce the probability of the cathode plate 200 tilting or shaking due to the striking member 35 or the grinding roller 34, thereby improving the uniformity of the force applied to the cathode plate 200 by the multiple striking members 35, improving the roughing effect of the cathode plate 200, and improving the uniformity of the force applied to the cathode plate 200 by the grinding roller 34, improving the grinding effect of the cathode plate 200. It can be understood that the limiting member 333 can be a rotary pressing cylinder.

[0080] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the movable component 31 may include a first support frame 311, a first lifting frame 312, and a translation frame 313. The first support frame 311 may be connected to the processing support base 36, the first lifting frame 312 may be slidably connected to the first support frame 311, and the translation frame 313 may be slidably connected to the first lifting frame 312. Furthermore, the translation frame 313 may move along a third direction (e.g., ...). Figure 5 Extending in the left-right direction (as shown), multiple striking elements 35 can be mounted on the translation frame 313, allowing the multiple striking elements 35 to be arranged along the third direction, which can increase the contact range between the multiple striking elements 35 and the cathode plate 200, and is beneficial to improving the leveling effect of the cathode plate 200. The grinding roller 34 can be mounted on the translation frame 313, allowing the grinding roller 34 to extend along the third direction, which can increase the contact range between the grinding roller 34 and the cathode plate 200, and is beneficial to improving the grinding effect of the cathode plate 200.

[0081] The first support frame 311 may be equipped with a second driving member 52, which can drive the first lifting frame 312 along a first direction (e.g., Figure 5 The first lifting frame 312 can be equipped with a third driving member 53, which can drive the translation frame 313 to move along the second direction (as shown in the vertical direction). Figure 5 (As shown in the front-to-back direction) moves relative to the first lifting frame 312 to drive the grinding roller 34 or multiple striking elements 35 to move. For example, the grinding roller 34 and multiple striking elements 35 can move in the vertical direction (e.g., Figure 5 The grinding roller 34 and multiple striking elements 35 can move up and down in the vertical direction (as shown), and can move horizontally in the horizontal direction (e.g., in the vertical direction). Figure 5 The translation in the forward and backward direction (as shown) can be understood as follows: the second driving component 52 can be a cylinder, and the third driving component 53 can be a drive motor.

[0082] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first support frame 311 may include a first mounting beam 3112 and a plurality of first support beams 3111, the first support beams 3111 being able to run along a first direction (e.g., Figure 5 As shown in the vertical direction, it extends, and the multiple first support beams 3111 can extend along a third direction (such as...). Figure 5 Arranged at intervals in the left-right direction (as shown), the first mounting beam 3112 can be connected to multiple first support beams 3111 respectively, and the first mounting beam 3112 can be located at the top of the first mounting beam 3112 (e.g., in the left-right direction). Figure 5 (as shown at the upper end), thereby improving the structural stability of the first support frame 311.

[0083] The first lifting frame 312 may include a counterweight 3121, a reinforcing beam 3122, and a lifting beam 3123. The counterweight 3121 is slidably connected to the first support beam 3111. For example, the counterweight 3121 may have a slider, and the first support beam 3111 may have a groove extending along a first direction. The slider and the groove can be slidably engaged. At least a portion of the counterweight 3121 may be located on the side of the first support frame 311 opposite to the processing platform 33 (e.g., Figure 5 (As shown in the front side), which helps to ensure the balance of the center of gravity of the entire moving assembly 31, thereby ensuring the stability of the grinding roller 34 grinding the cathode plate 200, and ensuring the smoothness of the multiple striking parts 35 striking the cathode plate 200.

[0084] One end of the lifting beam 3123 (e.g.) Figure 5 The front end shown can be connected to the counterweight 3121, and the lifting beam 3123 can move along the second direction (e.g., Figure 5 Extending in the front-to-back direction (as shown), the translation frame 313 can be slidably connected to the lifting beam 3123. For example, the translation frame 313 may have a slider, and the lifting beam 3123 may have a second direction (as shown). Figure 5 The slide groove extends in the front-to-back direction (as shown), and the slider can slide in the slide groove to reinforce one end of the beam 3122 (e.g., Figure 5 The front end shown can be connected to the counterweight 3121, and the other end of the reinforcing beam 3122 (as shown) can be connected to the counterweight 3121. Figure 5 The rear end shown can be connected to the lifting beam 3123, so that the counterweight 3121, the reinforcing beam 3122 and the lifting beam 3123 can cooperate to form a triangular structure, which can improve the structural strength of the first lifting frame 312.

[0085] The first lifting frame 312 may also include a lead screw 57, one end of which (e.g.) Figure 5 The front end shown can be connected to the third drive component 53, that is, one end of the lead screw 57 can be connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the other end of the lead screw 57 (as shown) can be connected to the third drive component 53. Figure 5 The rear end shown can be rotatably connected to the translation frame 313, and the extension direction of the lead screw 57 (as shown) Figure 5 The forward and backward directions shown are the same as the extension direction of the lifting beam 3123, so that the second driving member 52 can drive the counterweight block 3121 to move to drive the entire lifting frame to move, and the third driving member 53 can drive the lead screw 57 to rotate to drive the translation frame 313 to move.

[0086] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the processing module 30 may further include a flipping assembly 32, which can flip the cathode plate 200 to facilitate the impact of the plurality of striking elements 35 on opposite sides of the cathode plate 200 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 Tapping the upper and lower sides (as shown) can improve the leveling effect of the cathode plate 200 and facilitate the grinding of the roller 34 on the opposite sides of the cathode plate 200 (such as the upper and lower sides). Figure 9 Tapping the upper and lower sides (as shown) can improve the polishing effect on the cathode plate 200.

[0087] The flipping component 32 can be mounted on the machining support 36 in a third direction (e.g., Figure 4 In the left-right direction shown, the machining platform 33 can correspond to a portion of the positions of the multiple drive shafts 37 arranged sequentially, and the tilting component 32 can be located on one side of the movable component 31 (e.g., in the left-right direction). Figure 4 (As shown on the right), and the flipping component 32 can correspond to another part of the positions arranged in sequence among the multiple drive shafts 37, so that the multiple drive shafts 37 cooperate with each other to drive the cathode plate 200 to move between the movable component 31 and the flipping component 32, so as to realize the leveling or grinding of the cathode plate 200, while preventing the flipping component 32 and the movable component 31 from interfering with each other, and improving the reliability of the processing module 30.

[0088] Specifically, after multiple striking elements 35 strike one side of the cathode plate 200 on the processing platform 33, the drive shaft 37 can drive the cathode plate 200 to the flipping assembly 32 so that the flipping assembly 32 can flip the cathode plate 200. Then, the drive shaft 37 can drive the cathode plate 200 to the processing platform 33 so that multiple striking elements 35 strike the other side of the cathode plate 200 on the processing platform 33, thereby achieving coarse calibration of the cathode plate 200.

[0089] Alternatively, after the grinding roller 34 grinds one side of the cathode plate 200 on the grinding platform 33, the drive shaft 37 can drive the cathode plate 200 to the flipping assembly 32 so that the flipping assembly 32 can flip the cathode plate 200. Then the drive shaft 37 can drive the cathode plate 200 to the processing platform 33 so that the grinding roller 34 can grind the other side of the cathode plate 200 on the grinding platform 33, thereby achieving the grinding of the cathode plate 200.

[0090] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the flipping assembly 32 may include a second support frame 321, a second lifting frame 322, and a flipping frame 323. The second support frame 321 may be connected to the processing support base 36, the second lifting frame 322 may be slidably connected to the second support frame 321, and the flipping frame 323 may be rotatably connected to the second lifting frame 322. The flipping frame 323 may have a flipping plate 3231 and a plurality of pneumatic clamps 38. The flipping plate 3231 may be oriented along a third direction (e.g., ...). Figure 6 Extending in the left-right direction (as shown), the air clamp 38 can clamp the electrolytic rod 210 of the cathode plate 200, and multiple air clamps 38 can be installed on the flip plate 3231, so that multiple air clamps 38 can extend along the extension direction of the electrolytic rod 210 (as shown). Figure 6 The left-right arrangement shown can improve the reliability of the air clamp 38 in holding the cathode plate 200 and improve the stability of the flipping assembly 32 in flipping the cathode plate 200.

[0091] The second support frame 321 may be equipped with a fourth driving member 54, which can drive the second lifting frame 322 along a first direction (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown in the vertical direction) it rises and falls relative to the second support frame 321. The second lifting frame 322 may be provided with a fifth driving member 55. The fifth driving member 55 can drive the tilting frame 323 to tilt, so as to drive the entire cathode plate 200 to tilt through multiple air clamps 38 on the tilting plate 3231. It can be understood that the fourth driving member 54 can be a cylinder, and the fifth driving member 55 can be a drive motor. The output shaft of the drive motor can be connected to the rotation center of the tilting frame 323. Alternatively, the drive motor can drive the tilting frame 323 to move through transmission components such as belts or gears.

[0092] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the second support frame 321 may include a second mounting beam 3212 and a plurality of second support beams 3211, the second support beams 3211 being able to run along a first direction (e.g., Figure 6 As shown in the vertical direction, it extends, and multiple second support beams 3211 can extend along a third direction (such as...). Figure 6 Arranged at intervals in the left-right direction (as shown), the second mounting beam 3212 can be connected to multiple second support beams 3211 respectively, and the second mounting beam 3212 can be located at the top of the second mounting beam 3212 (e.g., in the left-right direction). Figure 6 (as shown at the upper end), thereby improving the structural stability of the second support frame 321. The second lifting frame 322 may have a slider, and the second support beam 3211 may have a groove extending along the first direction. The slider and the groove can slide together.

[0093] like Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 18As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the conveying module 10 may include a conveying support 11, a chain 12, a mounting member 13, and a plurality of transmission teeth 14. The plurality of transmission teeth 14 can be rotatably connected to the conveying support 11, and the plurality of transmission teeth 14 can be along a horizontal direction (e.g., Figure 16 Arranged at intervals in the left-right direction (as shown), the chain 12 can be sleeved on multiple transmission teeth 14, and the chain 12 can mesh with multiple transmission teeth 14, so that the rotation of the transmission teeth 14 drives the chain 12 to rotate around the multiple transmission teeth 14. Specifically, each chain 12 can be sleeved on two transmission teeth 14, and the two transmission teeth 14 can be respectively arranged on opposite sides of the conveying support 11 (e.g., in the left-right direction). Figure 16 (The left and right sides shown).

[0094] The mounting component 13 can be connected to the chain plate 121 of the chain 12. The mounting component 13 can have a mating groove 133, the shape of which matches the end of the electrolytic rod 210 of the cathode plate 200 (e.g., Figure 17 The shapes of the left and right ends shown are matched so that the end of the electrolytic rod 210 of the cathode plate 200 can be inserted into the mating groove 133 to realize the mounting of the cathode plate 200. The conveying support 11 can be provided with a sixth driving member 56. The sixth driving member 56 can drive the transmission gear 14 to rotate to drive the chain 12 to move, and drive the cathode plate 200 to move through the mounting member 13 on the chain 12. It can be understood that the sixth driving member 56 can be a drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the middle of the transmission gear 14.

[0095] like Figure 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting member 13 may include a first mating plate 131 and two second mating plates 132, the two second mating plates 132 being positioned in the extension direction of the chain 12 (e.g., Figure 19 Arranged in a left-right direction as shown, the first mating plate 131 can be placed between the two second mating plates 132, and the first mating plate 131 can be connected to the two second mating plates 132 respectively, so that the first mating plate 131 can cooperate with the two mating plates to form a mating groove 133, which can realize the mounting of the cathode plate 200. It can be understood that the first mating plate 131 and the second mating plate 132 can be integrally formed, that is, the mounting part 13 can be a bent part, which can ensure the structural strength of the mounting part 13 and improve the reliability of the operation of the conveying module 10.

[0096] like Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 18As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying support 11 may have the aforementioned adjusting component 442. The transmission gear 14 can be rotatably connected to the adjusting block 4422 of the adjusting component 442, thereby adjusting the position of the transmission gear 14 by rotating the adjusting rod 4423. This facilitates adjusting the tension of the chain 12 and ensures the normal operation of the conveying module 10. It is understood that in the conveying module 10, the extending direction of the adjusting rod 4423 is as follows: Figure 18 As shown in the left and right directions, by rotating the adjusting rod 4423, the adjusting block 4422 can move relative to the adjusting frame 4421, so that the transmission gear 14 can move left and right, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tension of the chain 12.

[0097] like Figure 1 and Figure 20 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the pick-and-place module 20 may include a robotic arm 21 and a vacuum suction cup 22. The vacuum suction cup 22 may be connected to the end of the robotic arm 21. The vacuum suction cup 22 may pick up the cathode plate 200. The robotic arm 21 may drive the vacuum suction cup 22 to move, thereby moving the cathode plate 200. This enables the pick-and-place of the cathode plate 200, allowing the same cathode plate 200 to move between different modules. This allows the cathode plate 200 to undergo multiple leveling and polishing processes sequentially, which is beneficial for automating the operation of the cathode plate 200 and improving the intelligence of the online leveling and polishing device 100 for the cathode plate.

[0098] The following reference Figures 1-20 To describe a specific embodiment of this application in detail, the cathode plate 200 of this application can be a copper electrolytic stainless steel cathode plate with electrolytic rods 210. The cathode plate online leveling and grinding device 100 can include: a pick-and-place module 20, a fine alignment module 40, two conveying modules 10 and two processing modules 30. The conveying module 10 can include a conveying support 11, transmission teeth 14, a chain 12 and a mounting member 13. Multiple transmission teeth 14 are rotatably disposed on the conveying support 11. The chain 12 can be sleeved on two spaced transmission teeth 14. The chain 12 can be composed of multiple chain plates 121 rotatably connected by pins. The mounting member 13 can be connected to the chain plates 121, and the mounting member 13 has a mating groove 133. The electrolytic rods 210 of the cathode plate 200 can be inserted into the mating groove 133, so that the conveying module 10 can mount and convey multiple cathode plates 200.

[0099] The pick-and-place module 20 may include a robotic arm 21 and a vacuum suction cup 22. The vacuum suction cup 22 can be connected to the end of the robotic arm 21. The vacuum suction cup 22 can pick up the cathode plate 200. The robotic arm 21 can drive the vacuum suction cup 22 to move, thereby moving the cathode plate 200, which can realize the pick-and-place of the cathode plate 200. The precision calibration module 40 may include a precision calibration support 44, a plurality of first precision calibration rollers 41 and a plurality of second precision calibration rollers 42. The plurality of first precision calibration rollers 41 can be rotatably connected to the precision calibration support 44 respectively, and the plurality of first precision calibration rollers 41 can move along a third direction (e.g., Figure 10 Arranged at intervals in the left-right direction (as shown), multiple second calibration rollers 42 can be rotatably connected to the calibration support 44 respectively, and the multiple second calibration rollers 42 can be arranged in a third direction (such as... Figure 10 Arranged at intervals in the left and right directions as shown.

[0100] Multiple first precision rollers 41 and multiple second precision rollers 42 can be in a first direction (e.g. Figure 10 The cathode plate 200 is arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction shown, and there can be a gap 43 between each first calibration roller 41 and its corresponding second calibration roller 42. The cathode plate 200 can extend into the gap 43, and when the cathode plate 200 extends into the gap 43, the opposite sides of the cathode plate 200 can respectively contact the oppositely arranged first calibration roller 41 and second calibration roller 42, so that the first calibration roller 41 and second calibration roller 42 rotate in opposite directions, which can drive the cathode plate 200 to pass through the gap 43 between multiple corresponding first calibration rollers 41 and second calibration rollers 42 in sequence, thereby achieving the leveling of the cathode plate 200 and the fine calibration of the cathode plate 200.

[0101] Each processing module 30 may include a movable component 31, a processing platform 33, and a flipping component 32. The processing platform 33 is used to place the cathode plate 200. The movable component 31 can move relative to the processing platform 33. The processing module 30 may also include a grinding roller 34 and multiple striking elements 35. That is, multiple striking elements 35 can be installed on the movable component 31 of one processing module 30 to strike the cathode plate 200, so that the processing module 30 can achieve leveling of the cathode plate 200 and rough leveling of the cathode plate 200. The grinding roller 34 can be installed on the movable component 31 of another processing module 30 to grind the cathode plate 200 and level the cathode plate 200, so that the processing module 30 can achieve grinding of the cathode plate 200.

[0102] The machining support 36 can be provided with multiple drive shafts 37, and the multiple drive shafts 37 can be driven along a third direction (e.g., Figure 4The machining platform 33 can have multiple clearance openings 331 to avoid the drive shaft 37, that is, at least a part of the drive shaft 37 can be located in the clearance opening 331, which can ensure that the cathode plate 200 is in contact with the drive shaft 37 to drive the cathode plate 200 to move. The flipping component 32 can be set on the machining support 36.

[0103] The machining platform 33 can correspond to a portion of the positions arranged sequentially among the multiple drive shafts 37, and the tilting component 32 can be located on one side of the movable component 31 (e.g., Figure 4 (as shown on the right), and the flipping component 32 can correspond to another part of the positions arranged sequentially among the multiple drive shafts 37. The drive shafts 37 can drive the cathode plate 200 to move between the movable component 31 and the flipping component 32, so that the flipping component 32 can flip the cathode plate 200, thereby multiple striking elements 35 can strike the opposite sides of the cathode plate 200, and the grinding roller 34 can grind the opposite sides of the cathode plate 200.

[0104] The pick-and-place module 20 can be positioned between two conveying modules 10, and both the pick-and-place module 20 and the conveying module 10 are located on one side of the processing module 30 (e.g., Figure 1 As shown on the rear side), one processing module 30 can be disposed on one side of another processing module 30 (e.g., the rear side). Figure 1 As shown on the right), the calibration module 40 can be set on one side of a processing module 30 (e.g., the right side). Figure 1 The specific working process of the cathode plate online leveling and polishing device 100 (shown on the right) is as follows:

[0105] The pick-and-place module 20 can remove the cathode plate 200 from a conveying module 10 and place it on the processing platform 33 of a processing module 30. The movable component 31 above the processing platform 33 moves to allow multiple striking elements 35 to move and strike one side of the cathode plate 200. After the striking is completed, the drive shaft 37 rotates to move the cathode plate 200 to the flipping component 32. The flipping component 32 can flip the cathode plate 200. Then the drive shaft 37 rotates to move the cathode plate 200 to the processing platform 33. The movable component 31 above the processing platform 33 moves to allow multiple striking elements 35 to move and strike the other side of the cathode plate 200. Thus, the coarse calibration of the cathode plate 200 is achieved.

[0106] Next, the drive shaft 37 rotates to move the cathode plate 200 to the calibration module 40. The first calibration roller 41 and the second calibration roller 42 rotate in opposite directions, which can drive the cathode plate 200 in the forward direction (e.g., Figure 10 The cathode plate 200 passes sequentially through the gap 43 between multiple corresponding first calibration rollers 41 and second calibration rollers 42 in the direction shown from left to right, and under the drive of the calibration rollers, the cathode plate 200 can reverse (as shown). Figure 10 The cathode plate 200 is precisely aligned by passing through the gap 43 in the direction shown from right to left and moving to the processing platform 33 under the drive of the drive shaft 37.

[0107] Next, the pick-and-place module 20 can remove the cathode plate 200 from one processing module 30 and place it on the processing platform 33 of another processing module 30. The movable component 31 above the processing platform 33 moves to allow the grinding roller 34 to move and grind one side of the cathode plate 200. After grinding, the drive shaft 37 rotates to move the cathode plate 200 to the flipping component 32. The flipping component 32 can flip the cathode plate 200. Then the drive shaft 37 rotates to move the cathode plate 200 to the processing platform 33.
