Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cathode copper vertical transfer device, belonging to the technical field of cathode copper transfer equipment. Background Art

[0002] Existing copper electrolytic stripping units are usually equipped with two sets of robotic cathode stripping units, which output in the form of single-chain output, and their processing capacity is difficult to match the needs of high production capacity. In order to expand production capacity and improve equipment operating efficiency and tank operation rate, the original robotic cathode stripping unit can be changed from single-chain output to dual-chain output, significantly increasing its single-set comprehensive processing capacity. However, based on the actual layout of the existing plant, the output method of the cathode stripping unit needs to adopt an "L"-shaped output method, that is, the two conveyor chains are arranged in an "L" shape. The cathode copper successfully stripped by the stripping unit is transported to the end of the conveyor chain via the two "L"-shaped conveyor chains for stacking. When transferring the cathode copper from one conveyor chain to another perpendicular conveyor chain, not only mechanical or manual assistance is required, but also the direction of the cathode plate needs to be consistent to ensure that the subsequent stacking of the cathode copper is not affected. This requires that the angle of the cathode copper can be adjusted during the transfer process, which also greatly increases the difficulty of designing the mechanical transfer device. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to address the deficiencies in the prior art and propose a cathode copper vertical transfer device, which realizes the stable transfer of cathode copper from one conveyor chain to another and ensures that the direction of the cathode plate is consistent when the cathode copper is transferred between the two conveyor chains.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A cathode copper vertical transfer device, comprising a door-shaped bracket, a transfer fixture, a rotating device, a vertical lifting device, and a horizontal transfer device; the horizontal transfer device is mounted on the top of the door-shaped bracket and connected to the vertical lifting device, and is used to drive the vertical lifting device to move horizontally; the lower part of the vertical lifting device is connected to the rotating device, and is used to drive the rotating device to move up and down; the lower part of the rotating device is connected to the transfer fixture, and is used to drive the transfer fixture to rotate;

[0006] The transfer fixture includes a rectangular frame I, a connecting bracket, a cylinder fixing seat, a pressure plate cylinder, a horizontal drive cylinder, and a clamp. The middle part of the rectangular frame I is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket, and the connecting bracket is used to connect to the rotating device. A clamp is set on each side of the rectangular frame I, and each clamp is correspondingly provided with a horizontal drive cylinder and a pressure plate cylinder. The horizontal drive cylinder is fixedly connected to the rectangular frame I and its piston rod passes through the rectangular frame I and is fixedly connected to the clamp. The pressure plate cylinder is vertically installed on the rectangular frame I through the cylinder fixing seat. The piston rod of the pressure plate cylinder passes through the rectangular frame I and is connected to a pressure plate at the front end. The two clamps are moved toward each other by the horizontal drive cylinder to clamp the cathode copper on the conveyor chain. Then, the pressure plate is pushed toward the cathode copper by the pressure plate cylinder, so that the pressure plate and clamp cooperate to fit tightly against the cathode copper, thereby playing a fixing role and preventing the cathode copper from shaking during transportation.

[0007] The method of using the cathode copper vertical transfer device is as follows:

[0008] The cathode copper stripping unit is arranged with two L-shaped conveyor chains (conveyor chain No. 1 and conveyor chain No. 2). The cathode copper stripped by the stripping unit is output through conveyor chain No. 1, then transferred to conveyor chain No. 2 through the cathode copper vertical transfer device, and then sent to the end of conveyor chain No. 2 for stacking; wherein the door-shaped bracket of the cathode copper vertical transfer device is located at the end of conveyor chain No. 1 and the head end of conveyor chain No. 2. When the cathode copper is delivered to the end of conveyor chain No. 1, the horizontal transfer device moves the transfer fixture, the rotating device and the vertical lifting device to the top of the cathode copper, and then the vertical lifting device moves the transfer fixture and the rotating device moves to the cathode copper position. After the transfer fixture clamps the cathode copper, the vertical lifting device lifts them back to the original height. Then the rotating device rotates the transfer fixture 90 degrees, so that the cathode copper also rotates 90 degrees to meet the direction requirement of outputting cathode copper on No. 2 conveyor chain. At the same time, the horizontal transfer device moves each device so that they move to above the head end of No. 2 conveyor chain. Then the vertical lifting device moves the transfer fixture and the rotating device to No. 2 conveyor chain. Then the transfer fixture releases the cathode copper, places the cathode copper on No. 2 conveyor chain and is sent to the end of the conveyor chain for stacking.

[0009] The cathode copper vertical transfer device sequentially grabs, rises, rotates, transfers the cathode copper from the end of the No. 1 conveyor chain to the head end of the No. 2 conveyor chain, descends, releases the clamp, and rises, thereby achieving a stable transfer function of the cathode copper between the two conveyor chains.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping jaw is L-shaped. Providing the L-shaped clamping jaw is beneficial for clamping and supporting the cathode copper plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a guide rod I is provided on each side of the piston rod of the horizontal drive cylinder. The guide rod I passes through the rectangular frame I and is fixedly connected to the clamping claw. The provision of the guide rod I can assist the piston rod of the horizontal drive cylinder to operate smoothly and push out and retract the clamping claw.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating device comprises a main gear, a driven gear, a motor I, an elliptical fixed bracket, and a rotating device bracket. The central portion of the fixed bracket is connected to the rotating device bracket, which is connected to the vertical lifting device. Motor I is fixedly mounted on one end of the fixed bracket, and its shaft passes through the fixed bracket and connects to the main gear. A driven gear is rotatably mounted on the other end of the fixed bracket and meshes with the main gear. The driven gear is connected to the connecting bracket of the transfer fixture to drive the transfer fixture. Motor I rotates the main gear, which in turn rotates the driven gear meshing with the main gear. The transfer fixture connected to the driven gear rotates synchronously, allowing the grasped cathode copper to rotate the required angle to meet the required direction of the cathode copper output on conveyor chain No. 2. Motor I can be a servo-driven motor, which is compact and easy to install, and features an encoder for precise positioning. This allows for precise plate picking and placement without the need for numerous limit detection components. It can also be equipped with a one-touch return to zero function, eliminating the tedious process of manual zeroing due to plate jams.

[0013] Furthermore, the vertical lifting device includes a fixed plate, a driving oil cylinder, a cylinder earring, and an earring connecting seat; the fixed plate is connected to the horizontal transfer device, the driving oil cylinder is fixedly installed in the middle of the fixed plate, the front end of the driving oil cylinder's piston rod is connected to the cylinder earring, and the cylinder earring is connected to the rotating bracket of the rotating device via the earring connecting seat. The piston rod of the driving oil cylinder directly drives the rotating device and the transfer fixture to move up and down, realizing the functions of descending to grab the cathode copper, lifting the cathode copper, and transferring and lowering the cathode copper for placement.

[0014] Furthermore, a guide rod II is provided on each side of the driving cylinder. One end of the guide rod II is fitted with a guide cylinder, and the other end is connected to the rotating bracket of the rotating device via a guide rod fixing seat. The guide cylinder passes through and is connected to the fixing plate. The provision of the guide rod II assists the driving cylinder in stably driving the rotating device to move.

[0015] Furthermore, the portal support includes a rectangular frame II, each of which is connected to a support beam at each corner, and two track beams are provided inside the rectangular frame II; the horizontal transfer device includes a linear slide, a driven sprocket, a chain, a chain fixing plate, a main sprocket, and a motor II; each track beam is equipped with a linear slide, and the linear slide is provided with a slider that can slide relative to each other; the fixing plate of the vertical lifting device is located between the two track beams and is connected to the opposite sliders at both ends; one end of one track beam is equipped with a motor II, and the other end is rotatably equipped with a driven sprocket, the chain meshing with the main sprocket and the driven sprocket respectively, and the main sprocket is fixedly mounted on the shaft of the motor II; one end of the chain fixing plate is connected to the fixing plate, and the other end is connected to the chain, and the chain is used to drive the fixing plate to move. The main sprocket is driven by the motor II to rotate and drive the chain to move. The fixing plate moves repeatedly under the pull of the chain, and the sliders connected to the two ends of the fixing plate can assist it in achieving smooth operation and not easily getting stuck, while providing support for the fixing plate.

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, this technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The utility model realizes the stable transfer of cathode copper between two conveyor chains arranged in an L shape, thereby improving the efficiency of equipment use. Moreover, when transferring cathode copper between the two conveyor chains, the direction of the cathode plates can be ensured to be consistent, which facilitates the stacking operation of cathode copper and solves the bottleneck problem in the upgrading and transformation process of the robot-type cathode stripping unit.

[0018] 2. The transfer fixture provided by the utility model adopts the closing method of two side clamps to grab the cathode copper, and at the same time, two pressure plate cylinders are provided on the upper part to press the cathode copper tightly to prevent the cathode copper from shaking or shifting forward and backward during the transfer process, ensuring that the cathode copper will not shift during transportation before and after grabbing and placing;

[0019] 3. During use, the utility model rotates the entire transfer fixture and the grabbed cathode copper together by a corresponding angle (generally 90 degrees) through the rotating device, which can be adjusted so that the directions of the cathode copper on the two conveyor chains are consistent, creating conditions for the neat stacking of the cathode copper; at the same time, the motor can adopt a servo drive motor, which is small in size and easy to install, and also has the function of precise encoder positioning, which can not only accurately grab and place the board and avoid the use of a large number of limit detection components, but also can be equipped with a one-button return to zero function, avoiding the tedious process of manual change due to the loss of zero point due to carding, reducing job labor intensity, and eliminating the safety risks caused by handling faults.
