Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anode plate production and processing technology, specifically to an anode plate adjustment tool. Background Technology

[0002] In copper electrolysis production, the loading and unloading process refers to the steps involved in loading and unloading anode and cathode plates from the electrolytic cell, particularly in copper electrolysis. The quality and efficiency of this process directly impact the yield and quality of electrolytic cathode copper. One crucial aspect of this process is the adjustment of the anode plates, which includes correcting the anode plate sag and replacing missing insulating pads at the anode plate lugs.

[0003] In existing copper electrolysis processes, anode plate adjustment is typically achieved by hammering. This involves using a sledgehammer to strike and adjust the anode plate's sag, which can damage the copper conductive plate and the electrolytic cell. Prolonged hammering can easily cause cracks and leaks in stressed areas of the electrolytic cell, making corrosion prevention and repair difficult and costly. Furthermore, because the anode plate contains a high amount of impurities and is harder than pure copper, hammering can deform the conductive plate at the connection point, affecting its lifespan and subsequent use. Inspecting the anode plates after installation reveals damaged or missing insulating plates between the anode plate and the electrolytic cell, requiring the use of a crane to lift the anode plate and add insulating pads – a cumbersome process. Therefore, to address these shortcomings, a new anode plate adjustment tool is needed for copper electrolysis production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned copper electrolysis production process, which is that the anode plate or the contact electrolytic cell will be deformed and damaged when adjusting the anode plate by hammering, this utility model provides an anode plate adjustment tool that facilitates the adjustment of the anode plate during the electrolysis process without damaging the anode plate or the electrolytic cell.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An anode plate adjustment tool includes a pry bar, a connecting rod, and pliers; the connecting rod is a vertical structure, with the pry bar fixedly connected to the left side of the top end of the connecting rod and the pliers fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom end, and the connection angle between the pliers and the connecting rod is 80-100°.

[0007] Furthermore, the right end of the clamp head has a sloping surface from top to bottom. The sloping surface of the clamp head makes the right side form a pointed tip, which facilitates the insertion of the clamp head into the gap between the anode plate and the electrolytic cell.

[0008] Furthermore, the connection angle between the pry bar and the connecting rod is 90° to 135°. This 90° to 135° connection angle allows for easier downward pressure of the pry bar when prying the anode plate, making it more effortless and convenient to use.

[0009] Furthermore, the pry bar, connecting rod, and pliers are all made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is not prone to rust, is easy to use, and provides good performance.

[0010] Furthermore, the pry bar is also fitted with an anti-slip silicone sleeve. The anti-slip silicone sleeve not only prevents slippage but also improves user comfort.

[0011] How to use this utility model:

[0012] The 80-100° inclination between the pliers and the connecting rod allows the pliers to cut more easily into the gap between the anode plate and the electrolytic cell, making it easy and convenient to use. When the anode plate sag needs adjustment, insert the pliers into the gap between the anode plate lug and the electrolytic cell insulation plate, then press down on the end of the pry bar. Using the lever principle, the anode plate lug can be easily pried up. Then, place a flat copper rod under the anode plate lug with unsatisfactory sag. By increasing or decreasing the amount of copper rod inserted, the anode plate sag can be adjusted. The adjustment is convenient and does not require hammering the anode plate, thus avoiding damage to the anode plate.

[0013] Insulating pads need to be installed at the non-contact positions between the anode plate and the conductive plate of the electrolytic cell. When an insulating pad is missing, insert the pliers of the anode plate adjustment tool into the gap between the anode plate and the conductive plate, press down on the end of the pry bar, and pry up the ear of the anode plate. Then, install the missing insulating pad at the position where an insulating pad needs to be installed. This can effectively prevent short circuits from occurring on the anode plate during electrolysis.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model, consisting of a pry bar, connecting rod, and pliers, utilizes the lever principle to easily pry open the anode plate. After prying open the anode plate, the sag of the anode plate can be adjusted by adding a flat copper rod. It can also install missing insulating plate pads, facilitating the adjustment of the anode plate. Furthermore, by avoiding direct hammering of the anode plate, it reduces physical impact on the anode plate and electrolytic cell, effectively preventing the risk of deformation or damage to the anode plate or electrolytic cell. The tool is simple in design and easy to operate; only one person is needed to complete the anode plate adjustment, saving labor costs and improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example 1: An anode plate adjustment tool includes a pry bar 1, a connecting rod 2, and a pliers head 3; the connecting rod 2 is a vertical structure, and the pry bar 1 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top end of the connecting rod 2, and the pliers head 3 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom end of the connecting rod 2, and the connection angle between the pliers head 3 and the connecting rod 2 is 80°.

[0022] How to use:

[0023] The 80° inclination between the pliers head 3 and the connecting rod 2 allows the pliers head 3 to better cut into the gap between the anode plate 4 and the electrolytic cell 7 during use, making it easy and convenient. When the sag of the anode plate 4 needs to be adjusted, insert the pliers head 3 into the gap between the ear of the anode plate 4 and the insulating plate 5 of the electrolytic cell, and then press down on the end of the pry bar 1. At this time, using the lever principle, the ear of the anode plate 4 can be easily pried up. Then, place a flat copper rod under the bottom of the ear of the anode plate 4 where the sag is not up to standard. By increasing or decreasing the amount of copper rod inserted, the sag of the anode plate 4 can be adjusted. The adjustment is convenient and does not require hitting the anode plate 4, thus avoiding damage to the anode plate 4.

[0024] Insulating pads need to be installed at the non-contact positions between the anode plate 4 and the conductive plate 6 of the electrolytic cell 7. When the insulating pads are missing, insert the pliers 3 of the anode plate adjustment tool into the gap between the anode plate 4 and the conductive plate 6, press down the end of the pry bar 1, and pry up the ear of the anode plate 4. Then, install the missing insulating pad 5 at the position where the insulating pads need to be installed. This can effectively prevent short circuits from occurring in the anode plate 4 during electrolysis.

[0025] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that there is a 90° inclination between the clamp head 3 and the connecting rod 2; the right end of the clamp head 3 has an inclined slope from top to bottom. The inclined slope of the clamp head 3 makes the right side present a pointed tip, which facilitates the insertion of the clamp head into the gap between the anode plate 4 and the electrolytic cell 7.

[0026] The connection angle between the pry bar 1 and the connecting rod 2 is 135°. The 135° connection angle between the pry bar 1 and the connecting rod 2 makes it easier to press down the pry bar 1 when prying the anode plate 4, making it more labor-saving and convenient to use.

[0027] The pry bar 1, connecting rod 2, and pliers head 3 are all made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is not easy to rust, is convenient to use, and has good performance.

[0028] The pry bar 1 is also fitted with an anti-slip silicone sleeve. The anti-slip silicone sleeve not only prevents slippage but also improves user comfort.

[0029] Example 3: The difference from Example 2 is that the clamp head 3 and the connecting rod 2 are inclined at a 100° angle.

[0030] The connection angle between the pry bar 1 and the connecting rod 2 is 90°.

[0031] Example 4: The difference from Example 2 is that the connection angle between the pry bar 1 and the connecting rod 2 is 120°.
