Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of mechanical equipment, and particularly relates to a cathode plate weld detection device. Background Art

[0002] In the metallurgical industry, cathode plates are used in electrolytic cells to electrolyze refined copper. Refined copper adheres to both sides of the cathode plate, with a weight of about 180 kg. Therefore, the welding position between the conductive bar and the plate body of the cathode plate needs to be firm. At present, the weld inspection here mainly relies on manual spot checks. However, the cathode plate weighs about 45 kg, making it difficult to move during manual spot checks, resulting in difficult spot checks. In addition, due to the spot check method, there will be missed inspections. If it is sent to the site, there will be installation hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an automatic cathode plate weld detection device with convenient operation, less human participation, high automation, high work efficiency, and high accuracy. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of this, to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a cathode plate weld detection device with reasonable structure design, convenient operation, high automation, high work efficiency, and high accuracy.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the utility model is realized as follows:

[0005] A cathode plate weld detection device, comprising:

[0006] A frame;

[0007] Fixing components, there are two groups of the fixing components, symmetrically installed at the left and right ends of the frame, and used for clamping and fixing a vertically placed cathode plate;

[0008] A detection component; the detection component includes a module installed on the frame in the left-right direction, a moving seat slidably arranged on the module, a driving device for driving the moving seat to move along the slideway on the module, a cantilever plate fixed on the moving seat, and two profile scanners installed on the cantilever plate; the scanning positions of the two profile scanners respectively align with the welds on the front side and the rear side of the cathode plate.

[0009] The frame plays a role in supporting and installing each component; the fixing components are used to support and fix the vertically suspended cathode plate; the detection component is used to scan and collect the weld information on the cathode plate and feedback it to the background; under the action of a driving device such as a servo motor, the moving seat moves along the slideway on the module. The setting direction of the module is the same as the direction of the weld after the cathode plate is fixed, both are horizontally arranged in the left-right direction. The cantilever plate installed on the moving seat drives the two profile scanners to move synchronously. The two profile scanners collect data at the weld and feedback it to the background to determine whether the weld is qualified.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes a cushion block fixed on the frame for placing the conductive bar at the top of the cathode plate, a first limiting block fixed on the frame for abutting against the back of the conductive bar, and a movable limiting device installed on the frame for abutting against the front of the conductive bar.

[0011] The cushion blocks of the two groups of fixing assemblies are used to support the left and right ends of the conductive bars on the cathode plate, thereby supporting the cathode plate; the first limiting block restricts the position of the cathode plate from the back, and the movable limiting device restricts the position of the cathode plate from the front, finally realizing the fixation of the cathode plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the movable limiting device includes a cylinder installed on the frame, a pressing plate installed on the telescopic end of the cylinder, and a second limiting block arranged on the pressing plate; the second limiting block can abut against the front of the conductive bar.

[0013] The design of the movable limiting device facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cathode plate. After the cathode plate is placed on the cushion block, its back abuts against the first limiting block. When the cylinder starts to contract, the second limiting block moves inward and finally abuts against the front of the conductive bar to complete the limiting.

[0014] Furthermore, a heightening base is provided at the top of the frame. The bottom of the module is installed on the heightening base through a first mounting plate, so that the height of the cantilever plate is higher than the top of the fixed cathode plate; one end of the cantilever plate away from the moving seat is suspended above the fixed cathode plate. The two profile scanners are respectively fixed to the cantilever plate through connecting plates and are respectively arranged on the front and back sides of the cathode plate, and a reinforcing rib plate is arranged between the connecting plate and the cantilever plate.

[0015] When the cantilever plate moves, the two profile scanners scan the welds on the front and back sides of the cathode plate along the moving direction.

[0016] Furthermore, it further includes a drag chain provided on the frame for fixing cables.

[0017] The drag chain is used to bind, tow and protect the cables used on the device.

[0018] Furthermore, a second mounting plate is provided at the top of the frame, and the drag chain is fixed to the second mounting plate.

[0019] Furthermore, a cable fixing plate is provided at one end of the cantilever plate connecting the mounting seat.

[0020] Furthermore, the frame includes frame legs, a frame frame fixed on the top of the frame legs, and support legs for strengthening and supporting the frame legs.

[0021] Further, a crossbeam is provided at the middle position of the frame legs, and a stop block is provided on the crossbeam; after the fixing assembly fixes the cathode plate, the stop block abuts against the back of the cathode plate to prevent the cathode plate from shaking in the vertically suspended state.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the cathode plate weld detection device of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] (1) The cathode plate weld detection device of the present invention uses a fixing assembly to support and fix the vertically suspended cathode plate. The detection assembly scans and collects the weld information on the cathode plate and feeds it back. It has a high degree of automation, reduces human participation, and has high work efficiency and accuracy;

[0024] (2) Since the cathode plate weld detection device of the present invention adopts an automated detection method, it can detect each cathode plate, reducing the factory rejection rate of unqualified products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
