Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of copper anode plate transportation, in particular to a position limit detection device for transporting copper anode plates. Background Art
[0002] Copper anode plates are a crucial industrial raw material. They are formed by pouring molten copper into a mold and then cooling it with water. These plates are primarily used as anodes in the electrolysis process, where they form electrolytic copper (also known as cathode copper). They are the raw material for numerous copper products. The copper anode plate production process involves multiple steps, including smelting, casting, and water cooling. The resulting product boasts excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, rigidity, and resistance to distortion.
[0003] Currently, in the copper smelting industry, anode plates produced by double-disc casting are cooled in a water tank cooling system. A plate retrieval truss at the front of the tank removes the plates from the cooling system for cleaning and testing. They are then picked up by a forklift for manual selection and then transported to the electrolytic anode unit. After electrolysis, a forklift is used for loading again. After cooling in the cooling tank, the plates are hooked onto the plate retrieval truss, removed from the cooling tank, and placed on a forklift for transport. However, while the plates are cooling in the tank, their stability in the water is typically ensured by the tank's design and the plates' own weight. When the plate retrieval truss is used to grip the plates, it is unable to locate and grasp them. Alternatively, due to the parallel positioning of the anode ears, only one ear can be grasped, causing the plates to fall back into the tank midway, preventing them from entering the next stage of the system. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a limit detection device for conveying copper anode plates, which is convenient for positioning anode plates, effectively increases the success rate of stable clamping, and is convenient to adjust, so as to solve the technical problem that when the copper anode plates are taken out of the water tank through the plate truss after cooling in the water tank, the copper anode plates fail to be clamped due to inaccurate positioning, and cannot enter the next stage of the device from the water tank system.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:
[0006] A limit detection device for conveying copper anode plates, comprising a connecting device and a limit detector; the connecting device comprises a water tank connecting seat, an articulated seat and a steel plate; the articulated seat is fixedly installed directly above the water tank connecting seat for installing the steel plate; one end of the steel plate is connected to the articulated seat, and the other end is connected to the limit detector. After adjusting the limit detection device, the steel plate is rotated relative to the articulated seat, and the limit detection device is rotated from the outside of the water tank to the inside of the water tank to stabilize the copper anode plate and detect whether the ears of the copper anode plate are in place; the limit detector comprises round steel, a telescopic device and a proximity switch; the round steel is fixedly connected to the steel plate for fixing and adjusting the spacing between the induction copper anode plates; the telescopic device is located below the round steel, and the middle part is connected to the steel plate, and the telescopic device is The device can push the ears of the copper anode plate so that the ears on both sides are located directly below the truss clamp; the proximity switch is fixedly installed directly above the round steel, and the proximity switch monitors the material in real time. When the material is synchronously transported to the designated position according to the predetermined speed and sequence, the sensor can accurately sense the presence of the material and transmit this information to the control system so that the control system controls the execution of the truss clamp to clamp the copper anode plate; the length of the round steel and the steel plate is adjustable; the telescopic device is opposite to the length adjustment direction of the round steel, and the anode plate can be adjusted to a suitable position parallel to the synchronous chain of the chain conveyor and with equal distance on both sides; when in use, two are usually used, installed on both sides of the water tank, powered by an external power supply, and the data detected by the proximity switch is transmitted to the external control device for identification and control.
[0007] Furthermore, the round steel comprises a threaded steel tube and a threaded steel rod; one end of the threaded steel tube is fixedly connected to the steel plate; and the threaded steel rod is threadedly connected to the inner thread of the threaded steel tube. By turning the threaded steel rod, the threaded steel rod rotates within the threaded steel tube, adjusting the extended length and precisely controlling and adjusting the position of the copper anode plate in the water tank.
[0008] Furthermore, the steel plates include steel plate A, steel plate B, and connecting bolts. Steel plates A and B are provided with a plurality of openings that match the connecting bolts. One end of each steel plate is connected to the hinged seat, and the other end is connected to one end of steel plate B via the connecting bolts and the openings. The other end of steel plate B is connected to the limit detector. The openings are rectangular, and steel plates A and B can be slid and adjusted in position, thereby adjusting their length, using the openings and connecting bolts. Once the length is determined, the connecting bolts are tightened to secure the position of steel plates A and B, thereby limiting or adjusting the anode steel plate to a position equidistant from both sides of the water tank.
[0009] Furthermore, the steel plate B is shaped like a ┐ (┐) square, with one horizontal end connected to the hinged seat. The proximity switch, round steel, and telescopic device are sequentially installed from top to bottom on the vertical end of the steel plate. The ┐ (┐) shape of the steel plate B allows the proximity switch, round steel, and telescopic device to be placed deep into the water tank, directly acting on the copper anode plate, thereby facilitating adjustment of the copper anode plate.
[0010] When using this device, it is generally used in pairs and installed symmetrically.
[0011] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0012] After installing the device on the side of the water tank through the water tank connection seat and the hinge seat, the length of the steel plate is adjusted by sliding the steel plate A and steel plate B, and the length of the round steel is adjusted by the threaded steel cylinder and threaded steel rod to control the spacing between the anode plates. The limit detector is rotated to the working position through the steel plate and the hinge seat, and the proximity switch is activated for real-time monitoring. When the anode plate is in place, it will be recognized by the proximity switch. After the anode plate is recognized, the external control device fine-tunes the ear position by controlling the telescopic length of the telescopic device to ensure that the copper anode plate is accurately located directly under the truss clamp, so that the truss clamp accurately clamps the copper anode plate and transfers it to the forklift to proceed to the next stage. The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. The utility model adjusts the anode plate to a suitable position through round steel, telescopic device and steel plate, accurately locates and monitors the position of the copper anode plate in real time through proximity switch, ensures that the truss clamps the anode plate stably, and reduces the phenomenon of the copper anode plate falling and failing to enter the next stage.
[0014] 2. The utility model realizes fine adjustment of the length of the round steel through the threaded connection design of the threaded steel cylinder and the threaded steel rod, so that the position of the copper anode plate in the water tank can be adjusted and controlled. The steel plates A and B provide flexible length adjustment capabilities through the combination of connecting bolts and rectangular openings, which facilitates the staff to quickly and accurately position the anode plate according to the actual size.
