Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of non-ferrous metallurgy machinery, and more specifically, to a guiding device for loading and unloading thin plates into and out of a tank. Background Art

[0002] During the process of non-ferrous metal electrolysis or electrowinning refining, cathode plates and anode plates are arranged alternately in an electrolytic cell. Under the action of electrolysis, pure metal is deposited on the cathode plates. The electrolysis operation requires loading and unloading the cathode plates into and out of the electrolytic cell, and transporting the cathode plates between the electrolytic cell and the post-processing unit. In the related art, usually one end of the cathode plate is lifted and then transported. However, during the process of loading and unloading the cathode plate into and out of the tank and transporting it, the cathode plate is prone to swing relative to the lifted end, which affects the positioning accuracy when the cathode plate enters and exits the electrolytic cell, and thus is likely to cause damage to the anode and cathode plates and even the equipment. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] An embodiment of this application provides a guiding device for loading and unloading thin plates into and out of a tank, which is at least used to improve the problem of the swing of the cathode plate.

[0004] The guiding device for loading and unloading thin plates into and out of a tank according to the embodiment of this application is used to transport a thin plate structure. The guiding device for loading and unloading thin plates into and out of a tank includes:

[0005] A first limiting component, the first limiting component includes a first limiting rod extending along a first direction;

[0006] A second limiting component, the second limiting component includes a second limiting rod extending substantially in the same direction as the first limiting rod. The first limiting rod and the second limiting rod are opposite and spaced apart along a second direction. At least one of the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod is movably arranged relative to the other along the second direction. The thin plate structure is located between the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod;

[0007] Wherein, the first direction is substantially parallel to the plate body of the thin plate structure, and the second direction is substantially perpendicular to the plate body of the thin plate structure.

[0008] The guiding device for loading and unloading thin plates into and out of a tank according to the embodiment of this application moves the first limiting component and / or the second limiting component along the second direction, so that the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod move away from or close to each other. Thus, when the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod are close to each other, the swinging range of the thin plate structure between the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod in the second direction is restricted, achieving the effect of stable transportation, and playing an accurate guiding role when the thin plate structure is moved into and out of the electrolytic cell or the unit. At the same time, since the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod move along a direction substantially perpendicular to the plate surface, it is not easy to cause the thin plate to bend and deform, which can effectively protect the flatness of the thin plate, and can quickly brake the swinging thin plate, improving the working efficiency of loading and unloading the thin plate into and out of the tank and ensuring production safety.

Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0045] The thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 of the embodiment of the present application is used to transport the thin plate structure 200, and is particularly suitable for transporting plate-shaped electrodes during the electrolysis or electrowinning refining process of non-ferrous metals. The plate-shaped electrodes are divided into anode plates and cathode plates, and during the electrolysis process, pure metal is deposited on the cathode plates as electrolysis or refining products. The cathode plates carrying the pure metal products need to be taken out of the electrolytic cell by the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 and transported to a unit for washing, rod extraction or stripping, packing, etc., in order to obtain pure metal finished products. During the transportation and loading / unloading tank process, the cathode plates are in a hoisted state and are prone to swinging back and forth in the direction perpendicular to the plate surface, posing a greater risk. Especially during the tank loading operation, the cathode plates need to fall between two adjacent anode plates arranged at intervals in the electrolytic cell, and the space between two adjacent anode plates is limited. If the swing amplitude of the cathode plates is too large, it will be difficult for the cathode plates to safely fall into the electrolytic cell.

[0046] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a new type of thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 and a thin plate 210 thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100, which can effectively achieve a stable and accurate guiding effect for the thin plate 210 to be loaded and unloaded from the tank without damaging the thin plate 210, even if the thin plate 210 has a certain swing in the direction perpendicular to the plate surface.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1-3 and Figures 8-11 , the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 of the embodiment of the present application is used to transport the thin plate structure 200, and the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 includes a first limiting component 10 and a second limiting component 20. Among them, the first limiting component 10 includes a first limiting rod 11 extending along a first direction (the front-back direction shown in the figure); the second limiting component 20 includes a second limiting rod 21 extending substantially in the same direction as the first limiting rod 11. The first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are opposite and spaced apart along a second direction, and at least one of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 is movably arranged relative to the other along the second direction. The thin plate structure 200 is located between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21. The first direction is substantially parallel to the plate body of the thin plate structure 200, and the second direction is substantially perpendicular to the plate body of the thin plate structure 200.

[0048] The thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 of the embodiment of the present application moves in a direction through the first limiting component 10 and / or the second limiting component 20, so that the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 move away from or close to each other. Thus, when the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are close to each other, the swing range of the thin plate structure 200 between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 in the second direction is limited, achieving the effect of stable transportation, and playing an accurate positioning and guiding role when the thin plate structure 200 is moved into and out of the electrolytic cell or the unit. The thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 has a simple structure, high reliability, ensures production safety, and has high structural operation efficiency, improving production efficiency.

[0049] Cathode plates are usually divided into two types according to different processes. One is a reusable stainless steel mother plate or titanium mother plate with a thickness of about 3 mm; the other is a disposable pure metal plate such as copper, nickel, cobalt (also called starting sheet) with a thickness of about 1 mm. Limited by the structural characteristics of the metal thin plate 210 itself, the cathode plate is prone to bending deformation.

[0050] In the related art, a swing-type cathode plate guiding system is adopted. By arranging V-shaped guiding notches with equal spacing on the guiding frame, which is the same as the number of hoisted cathodes, after the cathode plate leaves the tank or before it is loaded into the tank, the two guiding frames swing towards each other at the same time, so that the lower part of each cathode plate enters the V-shaped guiding notch. However, the opposite swing of the guiding frames is extremely likely to cause the cathode plate, especially the starting sheet type cathode plate, to bend and deform.

[0051] In the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 according to the embodiments of the present application, since the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 move in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plate surface, it is not easy to cause the thin plate 210 to bend and deform, which can effectively protect the flatness of the thin plate 210, and can quickly brake the swinging thin plate 210, improving the working efficiency of the thin plate 210 loading and unloading tank and ensuring production safety.

[0052] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , the thin plate structure 200 is a cathode plate used for electrolytic refining of non-ferrous metals. The thin plate structure 200 includes a thin plate 210 and an electricity connection part 220 connected to one side edge of the thin plate 210. The electricity connection part 220 includes a lifting lug 221 fixedly connected to the thin plate 210 and a conductive bar 222 electrically connected to the lifting lug 221. In some examples, the electricity connection part 220 includes a conductive bar 222 directly connected to the thin plate 210. The conductive bar 222 is used for connecting electricity during the electrolysis process, and is used to be hooked by the lifting device of the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 to realize hoisting during the transfer and loading and unloading tank processes.

[0053] Combined with Figure 1 , the thin plate 210 is usually square. For the convenience of description, in the following description, the width direction of the thin plate 210 is the first direction. The first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 extend parallel to the plane where the thin plate 210 is located in the first direction. The two ends of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 in the first direction are the front and rear ends respectively. The two sides of the thin plate 210 in the width direction are located on the front and rear sides respectively; the direction perpendicular to the plane where the thin plate 210 is located, that is, the thickness direction of the thin plate 210 is the second direction. The direction from the first limiting rod 11 to the second limiting rod 21 along the second direction is the direction from left to right; the height direction of the thin plate 210, that is, the direction from the side where the thin plate 210 is connected to the electricity connection part 220 to the free end of the thin plate 210 that is not lifted is the direction from top to bottom.

[0054] Exemplarily, the upper part of the thin plate 210 is riveted or welded to two lifting lugs 221 spaced along the width direction of the thin plate 210, and the conductive bar 222 passes through the lifting lugs 221 to lift the thin plate 210. Another example is that the upper part of the thin plate 210 is directly welded to the conductive bar 222. The thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 hooks the conductive bar 222 through the lifting assembly. During the hoisting, loading and unloading tank and transportation processes, the thin plate 210 will swing back and forth in the second direction with the conductive bar 222 as the rotation center.

[0055] In some examples, the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 is provided with a fixed frame 60 and a lifting assembly (not shown in the figure) installed on the fixed frame 60. The lifting assembly can lift the top of the thin plate structure 200. The first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 are movably installed on the fixed frame 60 through a driving assembly 30 and a transmission assembly 40.

[0056] Optionally, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 extend along a straight path in the first direction, that is, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are straight rods.

[0057] Under the condition that the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are parallel to the plane where the thin plate 210 is located, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 can also be curved rods or extend along a path combining curve and straight line.

[0058] The thin plate structure 200 is located between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21. The first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 can be spaced apart from the thin plate 210 on the left and right sides of the thin plate 210 respectively by a certain distance. When the thin plate 210 swings leftward by a certain distance, it will touch the first limiting rod 11, and the leftward swing range of the thin plate 210 is limited within the spacing distance between the first limiting rod 11 and the thin plate 210; when the thin plate 210 swings rightward by a certain distance, it will touch the second limiting rod 21, and the rightward swing range of the thin plate 210 is limited within the spacing distance between the second limiting rod 21 and the thin plate 210.

[0059] The first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 can be arranged close to the lower end of the thin plate structure 200. It is easy to understand that when the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are farther away from the rotation center of the thin plate structure 200, the smaller the swing range restricted by the thin plate structure 200.

[0060] The distance that the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 extend in the first direction is greater than the width of the thin plate 210. In this way, when the thin plate 210 shakes and touches the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21, the thrust of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 on the thin plate 210 is relatively uniform in the width direction of the thin plate 210, which is not easy to cause deformation, and can accommodate the displacement of the thin plate 210 in the first direction.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first limiting rod 11 is located on the left side of the second limiting rod 21. When the first limiting component 10 moves to the right and the second limiting component 20 moves to the left, the interval between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 becomes narrower, that is, the width of the limiting opening 101 in the second direction decreases. The plate body of the thin plate structure 200 is inserted between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21. Restricted by the structures of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 on the left and right sides, the shaking or swinging can be reduced, which is beneficial for the thin plate structure 200 to enter the accurate loading position in the electrolytic cell, the unit or the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 smoothly during the transportation and entry and exit of the tank and maintain stability.

[0062] When the thin plate structure 200 has been accurately installed in the corresponding position in the electrolytic cell or the unit, the driving assembly 30 drives the first limiting assembly 10 to move to the right and drives the second limiting assembly 20 to move to the left through the transmission assembly 40, so that the interval between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 is enlarged, that is, the width of the limiting opening 101 in the second direction is increased, providing an access space for the fixture or the lifting device, etc.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 3-6 , in some embodiments, the first limiting assembly 10 includes a first support beam 12 extending along the second direction. The number of the first limiting rods 11 is multiple, and multiple first limiting rods 11 are all connected to the first support beam 12 and arranged at intervals along the second direction; the second limiting assembly 20 includes a second support beam 22 extending along the second direction. The number of the second limiting rods 21 is multiple, and multiple second limiting rods 21 are all connected to the second support beam 22 and arranged at intervals along the second direction; multiple first limiting rods 11 and multiple second limiting rods 21 are opposite and spaced from each other in pairs along the second direction, and the interval between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 forms a limiting opening 101, and a thin plate structure 200 is arranged in each limiting opening 101.

[0064] In this way, by arranging multiple first limiting rods 11 and multiple second limiting rods 21 to be alternately and spacedly arranged along the second direction, a plurality of limiting openings 101 spaced along the second direction are formed, so that the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 can load multiple thin plate structures 200 at the same time, improving the transfer efficiency. Each limiting opening 101 limits a thin plate structure 200, so that the thin plate structures 200 remain relatively stable and do not collide with each other during the transfer process, and can fall into the gap between the anode plates in the electrolytic cell at a certain interval, stably and reliably.

[0065] Specifically, the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 is located above the electrolytic cell during the process of entering and leaving the tank. A plurality of anode plates in the electrolytic cell are arranged at intervals along the second direction. Each group of the first limiting rods 11 and the second limiting rods 21 forming the limiting opening 101 is located above two adjacent anode plates, and the width of the limiting opening 101 is less than or equal to the distance between two adjacent anode plates below. The number of the first limiting rods 11 and the second limiting rods 21 is set corresponding to the number of the anode plates in the electrolytic cell.

[0066] The first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22 can be made of materials with relatively high stiffness. For example, the first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22 are made of section steel. When the number of the first limiting rods 11 and the second limiting rods 21 is large, the lengths of the first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22 are increased. To reduce the deformation of the long beam, the first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22 can be formed by splicing a plurality of sub-support beams.

[0067] The first limiting rod 11 and the first support beam 12 can be separate parts and are fixedly connected by a rigid connection method, or the first limiting rod 11 and the first support beam 12 can be integrally formed. Similarly, the second limiting rod 21 and the second support beam 22 can be separate parts and are fixedly connected by a rigid connection method, or the second limiting rod 21 and the second support beam 22 are integrally formed.

[0068] The first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22 can be stacked one above the other. The first support beam 12 is connected to the first limiting rod 11 through the first connecting portion 13, and the second support beam 22 is connected to the second limiting rod 21 through the second connecting portion 23. The first support beam 12, the first connecting portion 13, the first limiting rod 11, the second support beam 22, the second connecting portion 23, and the second limiting rod 21 are all rigid members.

[0069] The first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are alternately arranged in the second direction. Every two first limiting rods 11 and second limiting rods 21 form a limiting opening 101 from left to right in the second direction. Each group of first limiting rods 11 and second limiting rods 21 forming the limiting opening 101 are opposite and spaced apart, and the first limiting rod 11 is located on the left side of the limiting opening 101, and the second limiting rod 21 is located on the right side of the limiting opening 101. Two adjacent limiting openings 101 are formed by two groups of adjacent first limiting rods 11 and second limiting rods 21. Among them, when the limiting opening 101 is opened to lift or lower the thin plate 210 by the lifting device, the second limiting rod 21 forming the left-side limiting opening 101 can be next to the first limiting rod 11 forming the right-side limiting opening 101; when the limiting opening 101 is tightened to fully limit the thin plate 210, the distance between the second limiting rod 21 forming the left-side limiting opening 101 and the first limiting rod 11 forming the right-side limiting opening 101 increases. That is, when the first limiting rods 11 and the second limiting rods 21 on the left and right sides of each thin plate structure 200 are far from each other, the first limiting rods 11 and the second limiting rods 21 between every two adjacent thin plate structures 200 are close to each other. On the contrary, when the first limiting rods 11 and the second limiting rods 21 on the left and right sides of each thin plate structure 200 are close to each other, the first limiting rods 11 and the second limiting rods 21 between every two adjacent thin plate structures 200 are far from each other.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 4-6 In some embodiments, in the second direction, multiple first limiting rods 11 are arranged at equal intervals, multiple second limiting rods 21 are arranged at equal intervals, and the arrangement interval of the first limiting rods 11 is equal to the arrangement interval of the second limiting rods 21, so that multiple limiting openings 101 are arranged at equal intervals and the width of each limiting opening 101 is equal.

[0071] In this way, multiple limiting ports 101 are arranged at equal intervals, so that multiple thin plate structures 200 can be evenly arranged at the same interval, and the positioning is relatively accurate. The multiple thin plate structures 200 loaded by the thin plate loading and discharging groove guiding device 100 can be simultaneously placed into the gaps formed by the anode plates arranged at equal intervals in the electrolytic cell, which is beneficial to loading a whole tank of cathode plates at the same time and improving the production efficiency.

[0072] Specifically, in combination with Figure 9 , the arrangement interval between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 is set according to the interval distance before the thin plate structure 200 is lifted and the interval distance required after the thin plate structure 200 is lowered in actual production. During the process of the cathode plate leaving the tank, all the cathode plates in the electrolytic cell can be lifted simultaneously and pass through the limiting port 101. During the transportation process, the cathode plates are restricted by the limiting port 101 with a fixed width and relatively narrow size, and the intervals are always relatively equal. After the transportation is completed, the cathode plates can be directly lowered without adjusting the intervals of the cathode plates. During the process of the cathode plate being loaded into the tank, the cathode plates sufficient to match the number of the whole tank of anode plates are simultaneously lowered into the electrolytic cell at equal intervals and inserted into the gaps formed between every two adjacent anode plates.

[0073] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, a group of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 forming the limiting port 101 are opposite to each other in the second direction.

[0074] In this way, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are opposite to each other along the second direction, that is, the direction substantially perpendicular to the plate body of the thin plate structure 200. When the thin plate structure 200 swings or shakes and touches the first limiting rod 11 or the second limiting rod 21, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21, and since both the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 extend along the first direction and the rod bodies are parallel to each other,

[0075] Specifically, the first connecting portion 13 can extend upward or downward from the first support beam 12, and the second connecting portion 23 can extend upward or downward from the second support beam 22. The height difference between the first connecting portion 13 and the second connecting portion 23 is the same as the vertical height difference between the first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22, so that the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are at the same height position in the up and down direction, that is, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are opposite to each other along the second direction.

[0076] Multiple first limiting rods 11 and multiple second limiting rods 21 can be flush in the up and down direction and arranged in a row along the second direction. For example, referring to Figure 6, the first support beam 12 is stacked above the second support beam 22. A plurality of first connecting parts 13 are arranged at intervals on the first support beam 12 and extend downward. The lower end of the first connecting part 13 is connected to the first limiting rod 11. A plurality of second connecting parts 23 are arranged at intervals on the second support beam 22 and extend downward. The length that the second connecting part 23 extends downward is greater than that of the second connecting part 23. The lower end of the second connecting part 23 is connected to the second limiting rod 21 and is flush with the lower end of the first connecting part 13. The difference between the distance that the first connecting part 13 extends downward and the distance that the second connecting part 23 extends downward is close to the height of the second support beam 22 in the up and down direction, so that the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are in the same position in the up and down direction.

[0077] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 60 above the first support beam 12, is arranged above the first support beam 12, and the output end of the driving assembly 30 is connected to the first support beam 12.

[0078] Optionally, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 have the same length.

[0079] In some extended embodiments, multiple groups of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 forming the limiting opening 101 can also be arranged in a staggered manner in the up and down direction.

[0080] In some examples, the first connecting part 13 and the second connecting part 23 can be straight rods extending in the up and down direction. The first limiting rod 11 (the second limiting rod 21) and the first connecting part 13 (the second connecting part 23) can be integrally formed or connected into one body by welding. One end of the first connecting part 13 (the second connecting part 23) far from the first limiting rod 11 (the second limiting rod 21) is fixedly connected to the first support beam 12 (the second support beam 22) through fixing parts such as screws and rivets. In this embodiment, the length of the first connecting part 13 is greater than the length of the second connecting part 23, and the difference between the lengths of the first connecting part 13 and the second connecting part 23 is approximately equal to the height value of the second support beam 22 in the up and down direction.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the number of the first support beams 12 is two. The two first support beams 12 are respectively connected to two ends of the first limiting rod 11 in the first direction. The number of the second support beams 22 is two. The two second support beams 22 are respectively connected to two ends of the second limiting rod 21 in the first direction.

[0082] In this way, two support beams are respectively connected to the two ends of the first limiting rod 11 in the first direction, that is, the length direction of the first limiting rod 11, and two second support beams 22 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second limiting rod 21 in the first direction, that is, the length direction of the second limiting rod 21, so as to make the structures of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 stable.

[0083] It can be understood that the lengths of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 extending in the first direction are much greater than the diameter or width of the rod body.

[0084] Specifically, both ends of each first limiting rod 11 in the length direction can be respectively connected to two first connection parts 13, and are fixedly connected to the first support beam 12 through the first connection parts 13. The two first support beams 12 are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the first limiting rod 11, and the front and rear first support beams 12 can be arranged in parallel.

[0085] Similarly, both ends of each second limiting rod 21 in the length direction can be respectively connected to two second connection parts 23, and are fixedly connected to the second support beam 22 through the second connection parts 23. The two second support beams 22 are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the second limiting rod 21, and the front and rear second support beams 22 can be arranged in parallel.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, taking the plane where the plate body of the thin plate structure 200 is located as the reference plane, the first limiting rod 11 forms a first projection on the reference plane along the second direction, the second limiting rod 21 forms a second projection on the reference plane along the second direction, and the plate body of the thin plate structure 200 is within the ranges of the first projection and the second projection in the first direction.

[0087] In actual production, due to situations such as insufficient precision of the unit plate arrangement, vibration during the hoisting process of the lifting tool, and manual intervention in the upper plate arrangement of the electrolytic cell, the cathode plate often displaces in the width direction of the plate body, that is, the first direction of this application, and the displacements of multiple cathode plates arranged along the direction perpendicular to the plate body, that is, the second direction of this application, are often different, resulting in misalignment of multiple cathode plates in the second direction. As described above, the swing-type cathode plate guiding system in the related art has a fixed guiding stroke and cannot ensure that multiple misaligned cathode plates on the left and right can all enter the V-shaped guiding notch.

[0088] The thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application ensures that the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 can still have a good limiting effect on the thin plate structure 200 even when the thin plate structure 200 displaces in the first direction by setting the plate body of the thin plate structure 200 to be within the ranges of the first projection and the second projection in the first direction.

[0089] Specifically, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 can extend along an arbitrary-shaped path in the second direction within a plane parallel to the thin plate 210. In the second direction, both the starting point and the ending point of the extension of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are located outside the thin plate 210. When the thin plate structure 200 moves forward or backward and multiple thin plate structures 200 are displaced from each other in the first direction, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 can still cover the width range of the thin plate 210, effectively restricting the left-right swaying range of the thin plate 210.

[0090] Exemplarily, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are straight rods. The lengths of both the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are greater than the width of the thin plate 210. Moreover, both ends of the first limiting rod 11 in the length direction are respectively on the sides opposite to the front and rear sides of the thin plate 210, and both ends of the second limiting rod 21 in the length direction of the second direction are also respectively on the sides opposite to the front and rear sides of the thin plate 210. In this embodiment, the two first support beams 12 are respectively connected to both ends of the first limiting rod 11 in the length direction on the front side and the rear side of the thin plate structure 200, and the two second support beams 22 are respectively connected to both ends of the second limiting rod 21 in the length direction on the front side and the rear side of the thin plate structure 200. The first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22 located on the front side of the thin plate 210 are stacked one above the other, and the first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22 located on the rear side of the thin plate 210 are stacked one above the other. The second limiting rod 21 is equal in length to the first limiting rod 11 and is aligned left and right.

[0091] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 30 is connected to one of the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 and is used to drive the first limiting assembly 10 or the second limiting assembly 20 connected to itself to move in the second direction (the left-right direction shown in the figure).

[0092] Specifically, the driving assembly 30 is a structure capable of providing power to drive the first limiting assembly 10 or the second limiting assembly 20 to move. The driving assembly 30 can be driven by at least one of electric drive, pneumatic drive, hydraulic drive, etc. The present application does not limit the type of the driving assembly 30. The driving assembly 30 is connected to one of the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 and drives the connected assembly to perform linear motion. Exemplarily, the driving assembly 30 can be a linear motor. The driving assembly 30 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 60, and the output end of the driving assembly 30 is connected to the first limiting assembly 10 and drives the first limiting assembly 10 to move left or right in the second direction.

[0093] The driving assembly 30 can be provided with one group, two groups or more than two groups. Two or more groups of driving assemblies 30 can be connected to the first limiting assembly 10 and drive the second limiting assembly 20 to move through the transmission assembly 40. Two or more groups of driving assemblies 30 can also be connected to the second limiting assembly 20 and drive the first limiting assembly 10 to move through the transmission assembly 40.

[0094] In some other embodiments, the thin plate loading and unloading groove guiding device 100 does not provide the transmission assembly 40. The first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 are respectively connected to at least one group of driving assemblies 30 and move under the driving assemblies 30 they are respectively connected to.

[0095] In some embodiments, both the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 are connected to the transmission assembly 40. The transmission assembly 40 is used to drive the other one of the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 to move in the opposite direction along the second direction when one of the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 moves along the second direction, so that the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 move away from or close to each other.

[0096] Specifically, the transmission assembly 40 includes, but is not limited to, elements or components such as connecting rods, bearings, gears, cams, chains, belts, ropes, etc. that can bear loads and change the direction of motion. This application does not limit this. The transmission assembly 40 is connected to the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20. When the driving assembly 30 is connected to the first limiting assembly 10, the driving assembly 30 drives the first limiting assembly 10 to move to the left, and the transmission assembly 40 drives the second limiting assembly 20 to move to the right; when the driving assembly 30 drives the first limiting assembly 10 to move to the right, the transmission assembly 40 drives the second limiting assembly 20 to move to the left. Similarly, when the driving assembly 30 is connected to the second limiting assembly 20, when the driving assembly 30 drives the second limiting assembly 20 to move to the left (right), the transmission assembly 40 drives the first limiting assembly 10 to move to the right (left).

[0097] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 40 includes a fixed seat 41, a transmission member 42 and a connecting member 43. The transmission member 42 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 41. The rotation direction of the transmission member 42 (such as Figure 7As shown by the dashed solid arrow (in the figure), it is parallel to the second direction. The transmission member 42 includes a first transmission portion 421 and a second transmission portion 422 that move or rotate in opposite directions relative to the fixed seat 41; the connecting member 43 includes a first connecting member 431 fixedly connected to the first limiting assembly 10 and a second connecting member 432 fixedly connected to the second limiting assembly 20. The first connecting member 431 is connected to the first transmission portion 421, and the second connecting member 432 is connected to the second transmission portion 422, so that the first transmission member 42 drives the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 to move in opposite directions along the second direction.

[0098] In this way, by the first transmission portion 421 and the second transmission portion 422 moving or rotating in opposite directions relative to the fixed seat 41, the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 are driven to move along the second direction, so that the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 approach or move away from each other, controlling the opening size of the limiting port 101.

[0099] Specifically, the fixed seat 41 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 60. The fixed seat 41 may include two intersecting flat plates. One plate surface is perpendicular to the up and down direction and fits against the lower surface of a cross beam 61 of the fixed frame 60 facing the first support beam 12, and the other plate surface is perpendicular to the first direction and is arranged on the opposite side surfaces of the front and rear first support beams 12. The lower end of the plate surface located on the side surface of the first support beam 12 is connected to the transmission member 42.

[0100] The transmission member 42 includes, but is not limited to, parts such as rods, gears, cams, shafts, bearings, belts, chains, and combinations of the above parts. When the driving assembly 30 drives the first limiting assembly 10 (or the second limiting assembly 20) to move along the second direction, the first limiting assembly 10 (or the second limiting assembly 20) drives the first transmission portion 421 (or the second transmission portion 422) to move or rotate, causing the transmission member 42 to rotate, and then driving the second transmission portion 422 (or the first transmission portion 421) and the second limiting assembly 20 (or the first limiting assembly 10) to move in opposite directions along the second direction.

[0101] Exemplarily, the transmission member 42 includes a rotating connecting rod and a rotary pin shaft 424. The first transmission portion 421 and the second transmission portion 422 are respectively the two ends in the length direction of the transmission connecting rod 423. The rotary pin shaft 424 passes through the middle section of the transmission connecting rod 423 and is connected to the fixed seat 41. The transmission connecting rod 423 rotates relative to the fixed seat 41 with the rotary pin shaft 424 as the rotation center, that is, the transmission connecting rod 423 rotates relative to the fixed frame 60. The transmission connecting rod 423 is arranged perpendicular to the plane where the thin plate 210 is located, so that the rotation direction of the transmission connecting rod 423 is parallel to the second direction.

[0102] The connecting member 43 includes, but is not limited to, parts such as rods, plates, blocks, rollers, gears, cams, shafts, bearings, belts, chains, ropes, and combinations of the above parts. For example, the transmission member 42 and the connecting member 43 are a set of mating gears. Another example is that the transmission member 42 is a connecting rod and the connecting member 43 is a pushing block.

[0103] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the first connecting member 431 includes a first fixing portion 4311 and a first rotating portion 4312 rotatably connected to the first fixing portion 4311. The first fixing portion 4311 is fixedly connected to the first limiting assembly 10, and the first rotating portion 4312 is movably connected to the first transmission portion 421; the second connecting member 432 includes a second fixing portion 4321 and a second rotating portion 4322 rotatably connected to the second fixing portion 4321. The second fixing portion 4321 is fixedly connected to the second limiting assembly 20, and the second rotating portion 4322 is movably connected to the second transmission portion 422.

[0104] In this way, by fixedly connecting the first fixing portion 4311 to the first limiting assembly 10, movably connecting the first rotating portion 4312 to the first transmission portion 421, fixedly connecting the second fixing portion 4321 to the second limiting assembly 20, and movably connecting the second rotating portion 4322 to the second transmission portion 422, when one of the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 moves, the connecting member 43 drives the other limiting assembly to move in the opposite direction. Such a setting reduces the number of driving assemblies 30 and makes the structure more concise.

[0105] Specifically, the first rotating portion 4312 can be a rotating member such as a gear, a cam, a rotating shaft, a bearing, etc. The first rotating portion 4312 is installed on the first support beam 12 through the first fixing portion 4311, and the first fixing portion 4311 can be a support or a pin shaft, etc. Similarly, the second rotating portion 4322 can be a rotating member such as a gear, a cam, a rotating shaft, a bearing, etc. The second rotating portion 4322 is installed on the first support beam 12 through the second fixing portion 4321, and the second fixing portion 4321 can be a support or a pin shaft, etc.

[0106] Optionally, the fixed seat 41 can be formed with a hollow portion 411, and a part of one of the connecting members 43 of the first connecting member 431 and the second connecting member 432 close to the fixed frame 60 is located in the hollow portion 411 and moves relative to the fixing portion in the hollow portion 411.

[0107] Exemplarily, the first rotating part 4312 and the second rotating part 4322 are both rollers, the transmission member 42 is a transmission connecting rod 423, the first transmission part 421 and the second transmission part 422 are formed with a slide 4230, the first rotating part 4312 is installed in the slide 4230 of the first transmission part 421, and the second rotating part 4322 is installed in the slide 4230 of the second transmission part 422, and the first rotating part 4312 and the second rotating part 4322 drive the first transmission part 421 and the second transmission part 422 to move through the slide 4230 when rotating.

[0108] Reference Figure 4 The first fixed portion 4311 is a support and is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first support beam 12, and the first rotating portion 4312 is connected to the first fixed portion 4311 and is rotatably disposed above the first support beam 12. Figure 5 The second fixed portion 4321 is a support and is fixedly connected to the lower side of the second support beam 22 , and the second rotating portion 4322 is connected to the second fixed portion 4321 and is rotatably disposed below the second support beam 22 .

[0109] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The transmission assembly 40 is arranged on the opposite side of the first support beam 12 (or the second support beam 22) at the front and rear sides, the upper end of the fixing seat 41 is connected to the fixing frame 60, and the lower end of the fixing seat 41 is connected to the transmission member 42. The first support beam 12 is stacked on the second support beam 22, the first limit rod 11 is located on the left side of the thin plate 210, and the second limit rod 21 is located on the right side of the thin plate 210. Figure 7 The transmission connecting rod 423 is arranged obliquely downward, the first transmission part 421 and the first connecting member 431 are located above the second transmission part 422 and the second connecting member 432, and a part of the first connecting member 431 is located in the hollow part 411.

[0110] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 30 drives the first support beam 12 to move rightward and drives the first limiting rod 11 to move rightward and the first rotating part 4312 to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission part 421 to move rightward, the transmission connecting rod 423 to rotate clockwise, and the second transmission part 422 to move leftward. The second transmission part 422 drives the second rotating part 4322 to rotate through the slideway 4230, and drives the second support beam 22 to move leftward through the second fixed part 4321 when the second rotating part 4322 rotates, so that the entire row of first limiting rods 11 moves rightward and the entire row of second limiting rods 21 moves leftward, the width of the limiting opening 101 is reduced, and the swing or shaking range of the thin plate 210 is reduced.

[0111] See also Figures 3-6, in some embodiments, the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 includes a moving guiding component 50. The moving guiding component 50 is connected to at least one of the first limiting component 10 and the second limiting component 20. The moving guiding component 50 is used to support the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 to move in opposite directions along the second direction, and to limit the moving distances of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21.

[0112] In this way, by connecting the moving guiding component 50 to at least one of the first limiting component 10 and the second limiting component 20, the movement smoothness and structural stability of the first limiting component 10 and the second limiting component 20 are further supported, and the moving distances of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are limited, so as to accurately adjust the width of the limiting opening 101.

[0113] Specifically, the moving guiding component 50 includes, but is not limited to, motion mechanisms such as tracks, chutes, guiding rods, sleeves, rollers, sliders, etc. For loading a whole tank of cathode plates, the number of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 is large, and the lengths of the first supporting beam 12 and the second supporting beam 22 extending along the second direction are long. By arranging the moving guiding component 50 connected to the fixed frame 60 on the first supporting beam 12 and / or the second supporting beam 22, the structural stability can be enhanced.

[0114] As Figure 3 shown in the embodiment, the moving guiding component 50 is connected to both the first limiting component 10 and the second limiting component 20 at the same time, and the number of the moving guiding components 50 is set to be multiple. The multiple moving guiding components 50 can be distributed on the front and rear sides and are respectively connected to two pairs of the first supporting beam 12 and the second supporting beam 22 located on the front side and the rear side.

[0115] Please continue to refer to Figures 3-6 , in some embodiments, the moving guiding component 50 includes a guiding member 51 extending along the second direction and a moving member 52 movably connected to the guiding member 51. The moving member 52 includes a first moving member 521 fixedly connected to the first limiting rod 11 and a second moving member 522 fixedly connected to the second limiting rod 21. The first moving member 521 and the second moving member 522 are used to drive the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 to move in opposite directions along the second direction relative to the guiding member 51.

[0116] In this way, by driving the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 to move in opposite directions along the second direction relative to the guide rail 511 through the first moving member 521 and the second moving member 522, the positioning accuracy of the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 for the thin plate structure 200 is further ensured.

[0117] Specifically, the guiding member 51 is fixedly arranged relative to the fixed frame 60. The guiding member 51 can be structures such as rails, chutes, guide rods, sleeves, etc. The moving members 52 (including the first moving member 521 and the second moving member 522) can adopt parts such as sliders and rollers and have rolling contact, surface contact or line contact with the guiding member 51. The first limiting component 10 and / or the second limiting component 20 can move synchronously with the moving member 52 connected to itself. When the moving member 52 moves relative to the guiding member 51, the moving direction and distance of the moving member 52 are restricted by the arrangement direction and size of the guiding member 51, so as to realize the movement guiding of the first limiting component 10 and the second limiting component 20.

[0118] Optionally, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the number of the first moving members 521 is multiple, and the multiple first moving members 521 are arranged at intervals along the second direction on the first support beam 12. Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the number of the second moving members 522 is multiple, and the multiple second moving members 522 are arranged at intervals along the second direction on the second support beam 22.

[0119] The guiding member 51 can be installed on the fixed frame 60 and located above the two stacked first support beams 12 and second support beams 22. The moving member 52 can be connected to the opposite sides of the front and rear groups of the first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22 and protrude upward. The first moving member 521 and the second moving member 522 are flush in the up and down direction and are engaged with the guide rail 511 together.

[0120] For example, the guiding member 51 is a guide rail 511, and both the first moving member 521 and the second moving member 522 are rollers. The rollers are connected to the first support beam 12 (or the second support beam 22) through a support seat and are indirectly fixedly connected to the first limiting rod 11 (or the second limiting rod 21). The guide rail 511 is installed on the lower side of the fixed frame 60 facing the first support beam 12 or the second support beam 22. The rollers are loaded into the guide rail 511 and roll along the guide rail 511, so that the first moving member 521 and the second moving member 522 move away from or close to each other in the second direction.

[0121] Since the range of the width that needs to be adjusted for the limiting port 101 is small, the guide rail 511 can be configured to have a length much smaller than that of the first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22. To ensure the load balance of the first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22, multiple shorter guide rails 511 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and one first moving member 521 and one second moving member 522 are loaded on each guide rail 511.

[0122] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4, the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 is provided with two sets of driving components 30, the two sets of driving components 30 are respectively connected to the two front and rear first support beams 12 (or second support beams 22), and simultaneously drive the first limiting component 10 (or second limiting component 20) to move in the second direction.

[0123] The first support beam 12 can be stacked on the upper side or the lower side of the second support beam 22. The first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are flush in the up and down direction and are alternately arranged in the second direction. The first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are grouped in pairs to form a limiting opening 101. The first limiting rod 11 is located on the left side of the limiting opening 101, the second limiting rod 21 is located on the right side of the limiting opening 101, the first moving member 521 is arranged on the same side as the first limiting rod 11 and is located on the left side of the second moving member 522. When the first limiting component 10 moves, the changing trend of the distance between the first moving member 521 and the second moving member 522 is the same as the changing trend of the width of the limiting opening 101. The first moving member 521 can also be arranged on the right side of the second moving member 522. Correspondingly, the changing trend of the distance between the first moving member 521 and the second moving member 522 is opposite to the changing trend of the width of the limiting opening 101.

[0124] In the embodiment as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the first support beam 12 is stacked on the upper side of the second support beam 22 and is connected to the driving component 30. The first moving member 521 is located at the left end of the guide rail 511, the second moving member 522 is located at the right end of the guide rail 511, and the guide rail 511 is hung on the fixed frame 60 and is fixed relative to the fixed frame 60.

[0125] The moving member 52 moves from the state as Figure 8 shown to the state as Figure 9 shown as follows: The driving component 30 drives the first limiting component 10 to move to the right. The first moving member 521 moves to the right on the guide rail 511 along with the first support beam 12. The transmission component 40 drives the second limiting component 20 to move to the left. The second moving member 522 moves to the left on the guide rail 511 along with the first limiting component 10.

[0126] The moving member 52 moves from the state as Figure 9 shown to the state as Figure 8 shown as follows: The driving component 30 drives the first limiting component 10 to move to the left. The first moving member 521 moves to the left on the guide rail 511 along with the first support beam 12. The transmission component 40 drives the second limiting component 20 to move to the right. The second moving member 522 moves to the right on the guide rail 511 along with the second limiting component 20.

[0127] Please refer to Figure 3, in some embodiments, the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 includes a fixed frame 60 and a hoisting assembly (not shown in the figure). The first limiting assembly 10 and / or the second limiting assembly 20 are movably arranged relative to the fixed frame 60. The hoisting assembly is connected to the thin plate structure 200 and is used to drive the thin plate structure 200 to move in the third direction (the up and down direction shown in the figure) and pass through the interval between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction pairwise.

[0128] Thus, by movably arranging the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 relative to the fixed frame 60, the fixed frame 60 can be used as a reference system for the moving positions of the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20, which is beneficial to accurately positioning the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20 before and after movement.

[0129] The fixed frame 60 includes a plurality of cross beams 61, vertical beams 62, longitudinal beams 63 and diagonal beams 64 that are connected to each other and erected together, and is generally in the shape of a cubic frame structure. The fixed frame 60 can also be other regular or irregular block, shell, or cover structures. The fixed frame 60 includes positioning members 601 provided at the left and right ends in the second direction. The positioning members 601 can be holes, rods, ribs, bumps, grooves, etc. The positioning members 601 at the left and right ends are used for the precise positioning of the fixed frame 60 with the electrolytic cell or the unit. The fixed frame 60 is simultaneously connected to the first limiting assembly 10, the second limiting assembly 20, the transmission assembly 40, and the moving guiding assembly 50 and plays a supporting role.

[0130] In some examples, the driving assembly 30 and the transmission assembly 40 are fixedly arranged on the fixed frame 60. The first limiting assembly 10, the second limiting assembly 20, the rotating device, and the moving guiding assembly 50 can be arranged below the fixed frame 60. Combining Figure 1 and Figure 8 , before hoisting the thin plate structure 200, the fixed frame 60 is located above the thin plate structure 200 in the electrolytic cell or the unit. The thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 raises the thin plate structure 200 through the hoisting assembly until the lower part of the thin plate structure 200 is opposite to the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 in the second direction.

[0131] The thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 can move from above the electrolytic cell to above the unit for washing, rod extraction, stripping, and packing, or move from above the unit to above the electrolytic cell. The number of thin plate structures 200 loaded each time the thin plate 210 thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 moves is multiple, and the number of thin plate structures 200 matches the number of anode plates in the electrolytic cell to meet the electrolysis requirements of the entire cell.

[0132] Please refer to Figure 2, in some embodiments, the thin plate structure 200 includes a thin plate 210 and a power connection part 220 connected to the upper part of the thin plate 210. The power connection part 220 extends in the first direction. A lifting assembly (not shown in the figure) clamps the power connection part 220 to lift the thin plate 210, and the lower part of the thin plate 210 is located between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21. The specific structure of the thin plate structure 200 has been described above and will not be elaborated here.

[0133] Figure 8 and Figure 10 In the thin plate loading and unloading groove guiding device 100 shown, the first limiting rod 11 is in the left extreme position, the second limiting rod 21 is in the right extreme position, and the width dimension of the limiting opening 101 is in the maximum state, so that the lifting tool can pass through the limiting opening 101 to lift the thin plate structure 200 to the lifting height.

[0134] Figure 9 and Figure 11 In the thin plate loading and unloading groove guiding device 100 shown, the first limiting rod 11 is in the right extreme position, the second limiting rod 21 is in the left extreme position, and the width dimension of the limiting opening 101 is in the minimum state to keep the position of the thin plate structure 200 relatively accurate and stable during transportation.

[0135] When the thin plate loading and unloading groove guiding device 100 is in the position as shown in Figure 9 , the overlapping length of the first support beam 12 and the second support beam 22 in the second direction is increased compared to the position as shown in Figure 11 .

[0136] The plate body of the thin plate structure 200 is the plate body of the thin plate 210. As described above, the distance between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 in the second direction is also the width dimension of the limiting opening 101.

[0137] During the process of the lifting assembly lifting the thin plate structure 200 from the unit or the electrolytic cell, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 can first be in the position as shown in Figure 8 , that is, the width dimension of the limiting opening 101 is in the maximum state until the conductive bar 222 passes through the limiting opening 101 and moves above the limiting opening 101. At this time, the upper edge of the thin plate 210 is close to the limiting opening 101 and can be located above, below or within the limiting opening 101. Subsequently, the thin plate loading and unloading groove guiding device 100 is switched to the state as shown in Figure 9 , the width dimension of the limiting opening 101 is the minimum limit state as shown in Figure 11 . The first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are respectively close to the thin plate 210 on both sides of the bottom of the thin plate 210, and the minimum value of the width dimension of the limiting opening 101 is slightly larger than the width of the thin plate 210 in the second direction.

[0138] It is easy to understand that in the second direction, the width of the power connection part 220 is greater than the thickness of the thin plate 210, and the maximum width of the thin plate structure 200 can be the width of the larger one between the lug 221 and the conductive bar 222.

[0139] During the process of the thin plate structure 200 descending from the transfer device 100 and falling into the electrolytic cell, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 first maintain the position as Figure 9 shown. The distance between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 can be the minimum limit state as Figure 11 shown, that is, the width dimension of the limiting opening 101 is in the minimum state, and the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 are respectively close to the thin plate 210 on both sides of the bottom of the thin plate 210 until the lower edge of the thin plate 210 enters the electrolytic cell and contacts the electrolyte. When the lower edge of the thin plate 210 enters the electrolytic cell and contacts the electrolyte, the lower part of the thin plate 210 has accurately fallen between every two adjacent anode plates, achieving a good guiding effect. Subsequently, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 move away from each other, changing from the position as Figure 9 and Figure 11 shown to the position as Figure 8 shown, and the limiting opening 101 opens to allow the lifting tool of the lifting assembly and the conductive bar 222 to pass through.

[0140] When the thin plate 210 has completely fallen into the electrolytic cell and is immersed in the electrolyte, the conductive bar 222 can be above, below the limiting opening 101, or accommodated within the limiting opening 101. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the conductive bar 222 is located between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 and is facing the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 in the second direction, and the thin plate 210 is located below the first limiting assembly 10 and the second limiting assembly 20. During the electrolysis process, the lifting tool of the lifting assembly continuously holds the conductive bar 222, and the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 and the thin plate structure 200 can maintain the position state as Figure 1 shown.

[0141] Similarly, during the process of the thin plate structure 200 moving out of the unit, the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 can change from the state as Figure 8 shown to the state as Figure 9 shown, restricting the bottom of the thin plate 210 in the relatively narrow limiting opening 101; during the process of the thin plate structure 200 moving into the unit, the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 can first maintain the state as Figure 9 shown, and open the limiting opening 101 when the power connection part 220 needs to pass through the limiting opening 101, changing to the state as Figure 8 shown.

[0142] During the transfer of the thin plate structure 200, the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 and the thin plate structure 200 can maintain the position state as shown in Figure 9 shown.

[0143] Combined with Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the movement process of the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 from the state shown in Figure 8 to the state shown in Figure 9 is as follows: The lower part of the thin plate 210 is first positioned between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21. The driving component 30 drives the first support beam 12 to move to the right, and the transmission component 40 drives the second support beam 22 to move to the left. The first limiting rod 11 moves to the right with the first support beam 12, and the second limiting rod 21 moves to the left with the second support beam 22, so that the width dimension of the limiting opening 101 becomes smaller. At this time, the lower part of the thin plate 210 is restricted by the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21, and the swinging space of the thin plate 210 in the left and right directions also becomes smaller, thus playing an accurate guiding role for the thin plate structure 200.

[0144] In summary, the thin plate loading and unloading tank guiding device 100 of the embodiment of the present application moves the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 along the second direction, so that the distance between the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 approaches the minimum width of the thin plate structure 200 along the second direction, thereby restricting the swinging range of the thin plate 210 in the second direction during the process of the thin plate structure 200 moving into or out of the electrolytic cell, reducing the dislocation and collision of the thin plate structure 200, achieving a good guiding effect, and ensuring production safety. At the same time, the first limiting rod 11 and the second limiting rod 21 can move away from the thin plate structure 200 when the lifting tool or the power connection part 220 needs to pass through, which is convenient to operate and has high efficiency.
