Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] In the related art, during the process of stripping the cathode sheets through the zinc stripping machine, the connection between the cathode sheets on the front and back sides will be broken and divided into two pieces of the same size. When entering the conveyor belt of the stacking machine, the two cathode sheets cannot be completely fitted together due to deformation, and misalignment occurs, resulting in uneven stacking of the cathode zinc sheets, increasing the stacking failure rate and equipment wear, and affecting the transportation of subsequent processes. Therefore, how to optimize the cathode sheet transportation process and adjust the relative position of the cathode sheets to be regular has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0026] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 2 A palletizing assembly for cathode sheets according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0027] According to the utility model, the palletizing assembly 1 for the cathode sheet 10 includes: a transport track 11, which is formed with a bearing surface for carrying the cathode sheet 10; a palletizing device 13, which is arranged at the exit of the transport track 11, and a baffle 12 is formed on the side of the palletizing device 13 away from the transport track 11; and a roller 14, which is rotatably arranged on the transport track 11 and can be selectively moved close to or away from the bearing surface of the transport track 11.

[0028] Specifically, the transport track 11 is formed with a bearing surface for transporting the cathode sheets 10, ensuring that the cathode sheets 10 can move stably and smoothly during transportation. A stacking device 13 is located at the exit of the transport track 11 and is responsible for stacking the arriving cathode sheets 10. A baffle 12 is provided on the side of the stacking device 13 away from the transport track 11 to limit lateral movement of the cathode sheets 10, ensuring accurate and stable stacking. Rollers 14 are rotatably mounted on the transport track 11. The rollers 14 selectively move closer to or further away from the bearing surface to adjust the friction between the rollers 14 and the cathode sheets 10. During transportation on the transport track 11, the cathode sheets 10 may be stacked unevenly. If one cathode sheet 10 lags behind another cathode sheet 10, the leading cathode sheet 10 passes over the rollers 14, driving the rollers 14 to rotate. Due to inertia, the rollers 14 continue to rotate. When the other cathode sheet 10 passes over the rollers 14, the rollers 14 can use friction to drive the lagging cathode sheet 10 forward, thereby keeping the two cathode sheets 10 neatly stacked.

[0029] The stacking assembly 1 for cathode sheets 10 of the present invention is provided with a roller 14 rotatably provided on a transport track 11. When the cathode sheets 10 move along the transport track 11, the cathode sheet 10 located in the front drives the roller 14 to rotate after passing through the roller 14. The roller 14 continues to rotate due to inertia. When another cathode sheet 10 passes through the roller 14, the roller 14 can drive the lagging cathode sheet 10 to move forward through friction, so as to keep the two cathode sheets 10 stacked neatly, ensure that multiple cathode sheets 10 are neatly stacked on the stacking device 13, and improve the stacking efficiency.

[0030] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the palletizing device 13 includes: a support frame 15, which is arranged on the transport track 11 and is rotatably connected to the roller 14; an adjusting rod 16, one end of the adjusting rod 16 is connected to the support frame 15 and the other end is connected to the roller 14, and the adjusting rod 16 can be selectively extended or shortened to adjust the distance between the roller 14 and the load-bearing surface.

[0031] Specifically, the support frame 15 is firmly arranged on the transport track 11, providing solid support for the roller 14. The support frame 15 and the roller 14 are rotatably connected, so that the roller 14 can rotate freely on the support frame 15, thereby smoothly guiding the cathode sheet 10 to move on the transport track 11. By adjusting the length of the adjustment rod 16 to push or pull the roller 14 to move, the distance between the roller 14 and the bearing surface of the transport track 11 can be precisely controlled to cope with cathode sheets 10 of different thicknesses or materials. It ensures that the roller 14 can provide appropriate support and guiding force for the cathode sheet 10. By precisely adjusting the height of the roller 14, it can be ensured that the cathode sheet 10 remains flat and tight during the stacking process, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the stacking.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the support frame 15 includes: a support rod 151, which extends in the width direction of the transport track 11 and is connected to both sides of the transport track 11; a roller bracket 152, one end of the roller bracket 152 is rotatably provided with a roller 14, the other end of the roller bracket 152 is hingedly connected to the support rod 151, and the adjusting rod 16 is connected to the roller bracket 152.

[0033] Specifically, the support rod 151 extends along the width direction of the transport track 11 and is firmly connected to both sides of the transport track 11. It provides a stable support base for the roller 14, ensuring that the roller bracket 152 and the roller 14 can be firmly installed on the transport track 11. The roller 14 is rotatably provided at one end of the roller bracket 152, and the roller 14 can rotate freely on the roller bracket 152, thereby smoothly guiding the cathode sheet 10 to move on the transport track 11. The other end of the roller bracket 152 is connected to the support rod 151 through a hinge connection. This connection method allows the roller bracket 152 to swing at a certain angle on the support rod 151 to adjust the position of the roller 14. Through the hinge connection, the roller bracket 152 can respond to the action of the adjustment rod 16 to achieve precise adjustment of the height of the roller 14. One end of the adjustment rod 16 is connected to the support frame 15, and the other end is connected to the roller bracket 152. The adjustment rod 16 changes the relative position between the roller bracket 152 and the support rod 151 by extending or shortening, thereby adjusting the height of the roller 14. The adjustment rod 16 may adopt a different adjustment mechanism such as a threaded rod, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder to automatically adjust the position of the roller 14.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a fixing platform 153 protruding away from the transport track 11 is formed on the support rod 151 , and the other end of the adjustment rod 16 is hingedly connected to the fixing platform 153 .

[0035] Specifically, the fixed platform 153 is located on the side of the support rod 151 away from the transport track 11, and the fixed platform 153 can firmly support and connect the adjustment rod 16. The fixed platform 153 provides a reliable connection point for the adjustment rod 16, so that the adjustment rod 16 can be firmly connected to the support rod 151. It ensures that the adjustment rod 16 can remain stable when extended or shortened, and will not be twisted or deformed due to uneven force. By adding the design of the fixed platform 153, the structural strength of the support rod 151 is improved, which helps to resist the dynamic loads and impact forces generated during transportation and palletizing, thereby extending the service life of the palletizing device 13. The other end of the adjustment rod 16 is connected to the fixed platform 153 by a hinge. The hinge connection design enables the adjustment rod 16 to flexibly respond to operating instructions, realize fast and accurate adjustment of the height of the roller 14, and reduce the difficulty of operation and time cost.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adjusting rod 16 includes: a first rod 161, one end of which is hingedly connected to the roller bracket 152; a second rod 162, one end of which cooperates with the other end of the first rod 161 and can selectively move relative to the first rod 161 in the extension direction, and the other end of the second rod 162 is hingedly connected to the fixed platform 153.

[0037] Specifically, one end of the first rod 161 is hingedly connected to the roller bracket 152. This connection allows the first rod 161 to swing within a certain angle on the roller bracket 152, thereby adjusting the height of the roller 14. One end of the second rod 162 engages with the other end of the first rod 161 and can selectively move relative to the first rod 161 in the extension direction, allowing the total length of the adjustment rod 16 to be adjusted as needed, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the height of the roller 14. The second rod 162 is typically equipped with a locking device to ensure that it remains in a stable position after adjustment. The first and second rods 161, 162 may be fitted with a sliding fit, a threaded fit, or other length-adjustable fit to ensure smooth and accurate movement of the second rod 162 relative to the first rod 161 in the extension direction. Movement of the second rod 162 may be achieved manually (e.g., by rotating a threaded rod), electrically (e.g., by a motor and a lead screw), or pneumatically or hydraulically to simplify operation. The hinge connection between the first rod 161 and the roller bracket 152 allows the roller bracket 152 to maintain a certain degree of flexibility during adjustment, thereby ensuring that the roller 14 always maintains the correct contact angle with the transport track 11. The hinge connection between the second rod 162 and the fixing platform 153 ensures that the adjustment rod 16 remains stable when extending or shortening, and does not twist or deform due to uneven force.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, an inner cavity for accommodating the first rod 161 is formed in the second rod 162 . The inner cavity is connected to a pressure source and drives the first rod 161 to move relative to the second rod 162 .

[0039] Specifically, the second rod 162 is designed with an inner cavity for accommodating the first rod 161. The inner cavity is connected to a pressure source (such as an air pressure source, a hydraulic source, etc.). The pressure source provides pressure to the inner cavity, thereby driving the first rod 161 to move relative to the second rod 162. When the pressure source provides pressure to the inner cavity, the first rod 161 will be affected by the pressure and move relative to the second rod 162. By precisely controlling the magnitude and duration of the pressure provided by the pressure source, it is possible to precisely control the movement distance of the first rod 161, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the height of the roller 14. The inner cavity design allows the second rod 162 to compactly accommodate the first rod 161, thereby reducing the overall size and occupied space of the adjustment rod 16. The pressure-driven mechanism enables the first rod 161 to quickly respond to changes in the pressure source, thereby achieving rapid adjustment of the height of the roller 14. By precisely controlling the pressure source, it is possible to achieve highly precise adjustment of the height of the roller 14, meeting the accuracy requirements during the stacking process of the cathode sheets 10.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a locking piece is formed at the other end of the first rod 161, and the second rod 162 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first rod 161. The second rod 162 is formed with a plurality of matching portions spaced apart in the extension direction, and the locking piece can be selectively locked with any one of the matching portions.

[0041] Specifically, a locking member is formed at the other end of the first rod 161. The locking member can be a protrusion, a slot, a thread, or other structure capable of interacting with the mating portion. The second rod 162 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the first rod 161 and has multiple mating portions spaced apart along its extension. The mating portions can be slots, protrusions, threaded holes, or other structures that mate with the locking member. To adjust the height of the roller 14, the first rod 161 can be moved relative to the second rod 162 until the desired height is reached. The locking member can then be operated (e.g., rotated, pushed, etc.) to interact with and lock with one of the mating portions. The relative position between the first rod 161 and the second rod 162 is fixed, and the height of the roller 14 is precisely adjusted. To adjust the height of the roller 14 again, the locking member can be unlocked, disengaged from the mating portion, and the first rod 161 can be moved relative to the second rod 162 again, repeating the locking process. Through the interaction between the locking member and the matching part, the relative position between the first rod 161 and the second rod 162 can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the height of the roller 14. The design of the locking member and the matching part makes the adjustment process simpler and faster, reducing the operating difficulty and time cost.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the transport track 11 includes: a horizontal section 111, one end of the horizontal section 111 is connected to the palletizing device 13, and the horizontal section 111 is provided with a roller 14; an arc section 112, one end of the arc section 112 is connected to the other end of the horizontal section 111 and is bent toward the height direction.

[0043] Specifically, one end of the horizontal section 111 is connected to the palletizing device 13, and an outlet is provided at the end of the horizontal section 111. The cathode sheets 10 move on the horizontal section 111 and are ultimately placed on the palletizing device 13. Rollers 14 are provided on the horizontal section 111 to level the plurality of cathode sheets 10. One end of the arcuate section 112 is connected to the other end of the horizontal section 111 and is curved in the height direction. The other end of the arcuate section 112 is configured as an inlet for receiving cathode sheets 10 from an upstream production line or a conveyor belt. The design of the arcuate section 112 enables the cathode sheets 10 to maintain a stable moving state during the transition from the inlet to the horizontal section 111. By optimizing the shape and layout of the transport track 11, the stability and accuracy of the cathode sheets 10 during movement can be ensured, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of palletizing.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the horizontal section 111 and the arc section 112 are respectively provided with multiple rotating rollers 113; the transport track 11 also includes: a belt 114, the belt 114 is tensioned on the multiple rotating rollers 113; and a driving member, the driving member is connected to the rotating rollers 113 to drive the belt 114 to move.

[0045] Specifically, multiple rotating rollers 113 are provided on each of the horizontal section 111 and the arcuate section 112. These rollers 113 are evenly distributed to ensure that the belt 114 is stably tensioned on the rollers 113 and effectively supports the movement of the cathode sheet 10. The belt 114, tensioned on the rollers 113, provides support for the movement of the cathode sheet 10, with power transmitted through the friction between the belt 114 and the rollers 113. A drive member is connected to the rollers 113 to drive the belt 114. The drive member can be configured as a variable frequency motor to facilitate adjustment of the transmission speed of the belt 114 to accommodate varying production rhythms and requirements.
