Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of copper smelting, in particular to a device for weighing, labeling and counting cathode copper in copper smelting. Background Art
[0002] Copper smelting generally refers to the process from copper concentrate to refined copper, which is mainly divided into two technical routes: pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. Regardless of pyrometallurgy or hydrometallurgy, after the smelting is completed, the finished electrolytic cathode copper products need to be packaged, weighed, labeled and counted. After the finished electrolytic cathode copper products in copper smelting are packaged, each copper stack needs to be weighed, labeled, and counted, and the relevant information needs to be stored in the LIMS system for recording.
[0003] The current method is that a manual forklift takes the cathode copper stack off the production line for transportation; two static scales are installed on the ground next to the production line, and the manual forklift first transports the cathode copper stack to the ground static scale for weighing, and then goes to the production line to take the next copper stack; at this time, the barcode printer connected to the static scale is used to print labels according to the weighing information, and then the labels are manually attached to the copper stack, and the cathode copper stack is manually counted, and the weighing information, the number of pieces, and the production information are recorded in the LIMS system; the manual forklift places the copper stack newly received from the production line on another static scale for weighing, and at the same time, the copper stack that has been weighed and labeled is forked away for loading or sent to the buffer area for storage. The cathode copper transportation in this process requires manual forklift transportation, static scale weighing, manual labeling, counting, and information entry; two static scales are required to work alternately, and there are special people to label and enter; manual participation in the operation process, repetitive labor intensity is high, and labor costs are high.
