DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment of the utility model, an automated anode plate production line includes a receiving bin 1, a feeder 2, a melting furnace 3, a holding furnace 4, a casting device 5 and a turntable casting mold group 6. After the casting of the turntable casting mold group 6 is completed, a pick-up robot arm 7 is set. The pick-up robot arm 7 puts the cast anode plate handle into a shaping line 8. The tail end of the shaping line 8 is sent to the welding line by setting a line transfer robot arm 9. According to the Chinese patent, an automated casting device for an anode plate handle has a patent number of 2023208286694, and the patent technology is used as the first half of the process. The original second half of the process adopts a Chinese patent, a semi-automatic polishing machine, and a patent application with a patent number of 2022224623127, which results in a low degree of automation in the second half. Polishing still requires huge labor costs and high-intensity labor. In this way, key technical improvements are made for the polishing section. This application mainly divides the section into three parts, namely, the anode plate handle casting section, the anode plate handle shaping section, and the anode plate handle welding section.

[0025] The shaping line 8 includes a frame 801, a lower conveyor belt 802, an upper conveyor belt 803, a grinding device 804 and a feeding conveyor belt 807. The frame 801 is equipped with a lower conveyor belt 802 and an upper conveyor belt 803 which are distributed up and down. The frame 801 is equipped with a grinding device 804 located on one side of the output of the lower conveyor belt 802 and the upper conveyor belt 803. The frame 801 is equipped with a feeding conveyor belt 807 located on the other side of the grinding device 804. The shaping line 8 conveys the anode plate handles through the conveyor belts. The conveyor belts distributed up and down convey the anode plate handles forward by clamping, which can keep the anode plate handles stable when being conveyed.

[0026] The grinding device 804 includes a mounting seat 80401, two grinding rollers 80402, a gear box 80403 and a driving motor 80404. The mounting seat 80401 and the gear box 80403 are both fixed on the frame 801. The two grinding rollers 80402 are rotatably mounted between the mounting seat 80401 and the gear box 80403. The two grinding rollers 80402 are driven by the gear box 80403, and the gear box 80403 is driven by the driving motor 80404. During the casting process of the anode plate handle, burrs are mainly distributed on the top surface, bottom surface and both sides of the anode plate handle due to the gap between the molds and other reasons. The burrs are polished. Under the feeding action of the upper and lower conveyor belts, the anode plate handle enters between the polishing rollers 80402 of the polishing device 804, and the top and bottom surfaces of the polishing rollers 80402 are polished to remove the burrs and protrusions on the top and bottom surfaces. There will be no gaps in the subsequent assembly when used for electrolysis, and the assembly will be smoother.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a polishing assembly 808 is also assembled on the frame 801;

[0028] The polishing assembly 808 has the same installation method and structure as the grinding device 804, and is located between the grinding device 804 and the feeding conveyor belt 807. The two rollers of the polishing assembly 808 are replaced by polishing rollers. The grinding device 804 requires a higher grinding efficiency, so the mesh number of the grinding roller 80402 will not be too fine, usually between 150-240. Therefore, the polished anode plate handle is relatively rough. By polishing it, the feel and surface smoothness of the anode plate handle can be effectively improved.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, an edge grinder 805 is also assembled on the frame 801, and the edge grinder 805 is located at the discharge side of the feeding conveyor belt 807;

[0030] The edge grinder 805 includes a frame 80501, a transmission box 80502, a drive motor 80503, a drive shaft 80504 and a grinding wheel 80505. The frame 80501 is installed on the frame 801. The transmission box 80502 is fixed on the top of the frame 80501. The drive shaft 80504 and the grinding wheel 80505 are symmetrically installed between the output end of the transmission box 80502 and the frame 80501. The drive end of the transmission box 80502 is connected to the drive motor 80503. The drive motor 80503 drives the drive shaft 80504 and the grinding wheel 80505 to perform grinding operations through the transmission box 80502. The edge grinder 805 grinds the burrs on both sides of the anode plate handle. The polishing component 808 can also be installed at the rear end of the grinding to perform fine processing.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the frame 801 is also assembled with a discharge conveyor belt 806 located at the output end of the edge grinding machine 805, and the anode plate handle delivered by the discharge conveyor belt 806 is delivered to the welding line through the line transfer robot arm 9;

[0032] The welding line includes a plate loading machine 11, a fully automatic welding machine 12 and a finished product conveyor belt 13. The plate loading machine 11 is located on the anode plate feeding side of the fully automatic welding machine 12, and the line transfer robot arm 9 is located on the anode plate handle feeding side of the fully automatic welding machine 12. After the fully automatic welding machine 12 completes welding, the product is sent out through the finished product conveyor belt 13. This section of the process is the anode plate handle welding section. The fully automatic welding machine 12 and the plate loading machine 11 are both existing technologies. The anode plate is sent to the welding position of the fully automatic welding machine 12 through the plate loading machine 11, and the line transfer robot arm 9 works at the same time to send the anode plate handle into the fully automatic welding machine 12. After the welding positioning of the fully automatic welding machine 12, the fixation of the anode plate handle and the anode plate is completed.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the interior of the gear box 80403 and the transmission box 80502 are both driven by two mutually meshing gears of the same specification and size, so that they can synchronously drive the two rollers to rotate. The gear box 80403 and the transmission box 80502 are both prior arts, and they achieve synchronous drive through two mutually meshing gears of the same specification and size inside, which play the role of driving the grinding or polishing rollers to operate synchronously in this application.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a spraying device 10 is also provided on the top of the lower conveyor belt 802, and the anode plate handle just taken out from the turntable casting mold group 6 is cooled by spraying. The spraying device 10 includes a gantry and a spraying system. The water pump sends water to the nozzle installed on the gantry through a pipe to spray the water out, so as to cool the anode plate handle on the lower conveyor belt 802. A water tank is provided inside the frame 801, and the water after spraying flows into the water tank, and can also cool down the sparks generated during grinding and extinguish smoke.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the lower conveyor belt 802 is also equipped with a feed correction plate 809 for correcting the position of the anode plate handle on the lower conveyor belt 802. The picking robot arm 7 pushes the anode plate handle into the feed correction plate 809 along the conveying direction of the lower conveyor belt 802. The position of the anode plate handle on the lower conveyor belt 802 is very important. If it deviates, it will cause the risk of excessive grinding and jamming. Therefore, it is necessary to install feed correction plates 809 on the lower conveyor belt 802, the feeding conveyor belt 807 and the upper part to position the anode plate handle. Chamfers are set at both ends of the feed correction plate 809 to increase the width of the material entering the feed correction plate 809 and avoid jamming.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments all belong to the same utility model concept, and the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For matters that are not described in detail in some embodiments, reference can be made to the description in other embodiments.

[0037] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
