Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of copper ingot processing technology, and in particular relates to a flipping device for copper ingot production. Background Technology
[0002] Copper ingots are copper metal products that have undergone smelting and refining, possessing excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. They are obtained through pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical processes, typically involving the purification of crude copper (as the anode) and pure copper (as the cathode) during electrolysis. Copper ingots have wide applications in various fields, including industry, electrical engineering, construction, automotive manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, and chemical engineering.
[0003] Currently, in the process of making copper ingots, it is necessary to polish their outer surface. Copper ingot polishing is a processing method that reduces the surface roughness of copper ingots through mechanical, chemical or electrochemical action to obtain a bright and smooth surface, with the aim of obtaining a smooth surface or mirror gloss. However, existing mechanical polishing methods cannot automatically flip copper ingots during polishing, which affects the polishing efficiency of copper ingots.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a turning device for copper ingot production. Utility Model Content

By setting an O-shaped guide rail, the sliding shaft moves along the path x2→x3→x4→x1, which causes the rack to first mesh with the toothed ring to restrict the rotation of the toothed ring and polish the rough copper ingot. Then, it slides counterclockwise along the O-shaped guide rail for one revolution, so that the rack drives the toothed ring to rotate in one direction only when sliding upward in the x1 segment, thereby realizing the automatic flipping of the rough copper ingot. This solves the problem that existing mechanical polishing methods cannot automatically flip copper ingots during polishing, thus affecting the polishing efficiency of copper ingots.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] For a specific implementation example, please refer to Implementation Example 1. Figure 1-7 This utility model is a flipping device for copper ingot production, including two symmetrically arranged U-shaped bases 1; a connecting plate 2 is fixed between the two U-shaped bases 1; two mounting plates 3 are symmetrically slidably arranged on the surface of the connecting plate 2; a sliding plate 4 is slidably arranged on the side of the mounting plate 3; a rack 5 is slidably arranged on the surface of the sliding plate 4; a T-shaped limiting groove 6 is opened on the surface of the sliding plate 4; a T-shaped limiting rail 7 that slides and engages with the T-shaped limiting groove 6 is fixed on the bottom surface of the rack 5; an O-shaped guide rail 8 is opened on the side of the mounting plate 3; a sliding shaft 9 is fixed on the side of the rack 5; the circumferential side of the sliding shaft 9 slides and engages with the inner wall of the O-shaped guide rail 8; a flipping component 10 is rotatably arranged through the side of the mounting plate 3; a toothed ring 11 that matches the rack 5 is fixed on the flipping component 10.
[0028] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the O-shaped guide rail 8 is divided into x1, x2, x3 and x4 segments. In the initial state, the sliding shaft 9 is located at the connection between x1 and x2, the rack 5 and the toothed ring 11 are in contact and mesh. Then the coarse copper ingot is placed between the two flipping components 10 and the coarse copper ingot is fixed by the two flipping components 10. Then the bottom surface of the coarse copper ingot is polished.
[0029] After polishing the bottom surface, the rough copper ingot needs to be flipped. At this time, slide the rack 5 to the right, so that the sliding shaft 9 slides from the connection between x1 and x2 to the connection between x2 and x3. Then slide the slide plate 4 downward, causing the rack 5 to slide downward, so that the sliding shaft 9 slides from the connection between x2 and x3 into the x3 segment and finally stops at the connection between x3 and x4. Then slide the rack 5 to the left, so that the sliding shaft 9 slides along the x4 segment and finally stops at the connection between x4 and x1. At this time, the rack 5 and the toothed ring 11 are in contact and engaged. Then slide the slide plate 4 upward, so that the rack 5 slides upward, and then the sliding shaft 9 slides upward along the x1 segment. The rack 5 drives the toothed ring 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the flipping component 10 to rotate. In turn, the two flipping components 10 drive the rough copper ingot to rotate. When the sliding shaft 9 moves to the connection between x1 and x2, the rough copper ingot is flipped. Then continue polishing the bottom surface of the rough copper ingot. Repeat the above operation until all surfaces are polished.
[0030] In this embodiment, by setting the O-shaped guide rail 8, the sliding shaft 9 moves along the path x2→x3→x4→x1, so that the rack 5 first engages with the toothed ring 11 to restrict the rotation of the toothed ring 11 and polish the rough copper ingot. Then, it slides counterclockwise along the O-shaped guide rail 8 for one revolution, so that the rack 5 drives the toothed ring 11 to rotate in one direction only when it slides upward in the x1 segment, thereby realizing the automatic flipping of the rough copper ingot.
[0031] For a specific embodiment two, please refer to Figure 1-7 Based on the first specific embodiment, the flipping component 10 includes an adsorption plate 12 and a main tube 13 that rotates through and engages with the side of the mounting plate 3; one end of the main tube 13 is fixed with a drainage tube 14 that communicates with its interior; one end of the drainage tube 14 is fixed with several adsorption tubes 15 evenly distributed in a circumferential array; the end of the adsorption tube 15 passes through the adsorption plate 12.
[0032] Specifically, several L-shaped suction pipes 16 are evenly distributed and fixed in a circular array around the periphery of the suction plate 12; an L-shaped connecting pipe 17 connects the L-shaped suction pipes 16 to the main pipe 13; a limiting ring 18 is fixed around the periphery of the main pipe 13; the two opposite sides of the mounting plate 3 are tightly fitted with the limiting ring 18 and the toothed ring 11.
[0033] Furthermore, an upper electromagnet 19 and a lower permanent magnet 20 are fixed to the side of the mounting plate 3; the upper electromagnet 19 is close to the top of the O-shaped guide rail 8; the lower permanent magnet 20 is close to the bottom of the O-shaped guide rail 8; an adjusting permanent magnet 21 is fixed to the side of the rack 5; the adjusting permanent magnet 21 and the upper electromagnet 19 are attracted to each other by opposite poles, and it and the lower permanent magnet 20 are repelled by the same poles.
[0034] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When fixing the coarse copper ingot, the two main tubes 13 are connected to a vacuum cleaner through a hose. The coarse copper ingot is placed between the two suction plates 12, and the suction plates 12 are close to the coarse copper ingot. Then the vacuum cleaner is turned on. The suction end of the vacuum cleaner sucks air through the suction tube 15, the drainage tube 14, the main tube 13 and the hose to adsorb and fix the coarse copper ingot. Then the coarse copper ingot is polished. The L-shaped suction tube 16 sucks the dust generated by polishing into the vacuum cleaner along the L-shaped connecting tube 17, the main tube 13 and the hose to prevent dust from polluting the environment.
[0035] When flipping the crude copper ingot, the upper electromagnet 19 is turned on, causing it to attract the adjusting permanent magnet 21, which is of opposite polarity. This causes the sliding shaft 9 to slide from the connection between x1 and x2 to the connection between x2 and x3. Then, the upper electromagnet 19 is turned off, and the sliding plate 4 is slid down, causing the rack 5 to slide down as well. This allows the sliding shaft 9 to slide from the connection between x2 and x3 into segment x3. When the sliding shaft 9 reaches the connection between x3 and x4, the lower permanent magnet 20 creates a repulsive force on the adjusting permanent magnet 21, pushing the rack 5 to slide to the left, causing the sliding shaft 9 to slide along segment x4. Finally, it stops at the connection between x4 and x1. At this time, the rack 5 and the toothed ring 11 are in contact and mesh. Then, the slide plate 4 slides upward, driving the rack 5 to slide upward, which in turn drives the slide shaft 9 to slide upward along the x1 segment. The rack 5 drives the toothed ring 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the main pipe 13, the drainage pipe 14, the L-shaped connecting pipe 17, the adsorption pipe 15, the L-shaped dust suction pipe 16, and the adsorption plate 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the coarse copper ingot to rotate and flip over. The coarse copper ingot is flipped over. Then, continue polishing the bottom surface of the coarse copper ingot. Repeat the above operation until all surfaces are polished.
[0036] In this embodiment, by setting an upper electromagnet 19, a lower permanent magnet 20, and an adjusting permanent magnet 21, the upper electromagnet 19 can attract the adjusting permanent magnet 21, thereby driving the rack 5 to slide from the connection between x1 and x2 to the connection between x2 and x3 and disengage from the toothed ring 11. At the same time, the lower permanent magnet 20 can repel the adjusting permanent magnet 21, thereby driving the rack 5 to slide from the connection between x3 and x4 to the connection between x4 and x1 and engage with the rack 5, realizing the automatic change of the rack 5 position so as to facilitate the smooth flipping.
[0037] For a specific embodiment three, please refer to Figure 1-7 Based on specific embodiments one and two, a sliding groove 22 is provided on the surface of the connecting plate 2; a bidirectional lead screw 23 is rotatably provided between the two opposite inner walls of the sliding groove 22; the bidirectional lead screw 23 is threadedly rotated with the two mounting plates 3 respectively; a first servo motor 24 is fixed on the side of a U-shaped base 1; the output end of the first servo motor 24 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 23.
[0038] Specifically, an electric telescopic rod 25 is fixed to the surface of the connecting plate 2; a sliding frame 26 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 25; an adjusting plate 27 is fixed to the side of the sliding plate 4; an adjusting groove 28 is opened through the side of the mounting plate 3 to slide with the adjusting plate 27; the adjusting plate 27 slides with the inner wall of the sliding frame 26.
[0039] Furthermore, a second servo motor 29 is fixed to the surface of the slide frame 26; a polishing disc 30 is fixed to the output end of the second servo motor 29.
[0040] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When installing the crude copper ingot, first place the crude copper ingot between the two adsorption plates 12, start the first servo motor 24 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 23 to rotate, and then drive the two mounting plates 3 to slide closer to each other along the slide groove 22 until the two adsorption plates 12 are close to the crude copper ingot. At this time, the polishing disc 30 is close to the bottom surface of the crude copper ingot. Then start the second servo motor 29 to drive the polishing disc 30 to rotate and polish the bottom surface of the crude copper ingot.
[0041] When flipping is required, the sliding shaft 9 slides from the connection between x1 and x2 to the connection between x2 and x3, then drives the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 25 to retract, causing the sliding frame 26 to move downwards, which in turn causes the adjusting plate 27 to slide down along the adjusting groove 28, which in turn causes the sliding plate 4 to slide down, which in turn causes the rack 5 to slide downwards, so that the sliding shaft 9 slides from the connection between x2 and x3 into segment x3. When the sliding shaft 9 slides to the connection between x3 and x4, the lower permanent magnet 20 forms a repulsive force on the adjusting permanent magnet 21, pushing the rack 5 to slide to the left, so that the sliding shaft 9 slides along segment x4 and finally stops at the connection between x4 and x1. When the rack 5 engages with the toothed ring 11, the electric telescopic rod 25 is driven to extend upwards, which in turn drives the sliding frame 26, the adjusting plate 27, and the sliding plate 4 to slide upwards, which in turn drives the rack 5 to slide upwards, which in turn drives the sliding shaft 9 to slide upwards along segment x1. The rack 5 drives the toothed ring 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the flipping component 10 and the coarse copper ingot to rotate and flip over. When the coarse copper ingot has finished flipping over, the polishing disc 30 is in contact with the bottom surface of the coarse copper ingot, and then the bottom surface of the coarse copper ingot is polished. The above operation is repeated until all surfaces are polished, realizing the automatic alternation of polishing and flipping of the coarse copper ingot.
