Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper anode plate electrolysis technology, specifically a copper anode plate clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] Copper anode plate pressing is a common process in electrolytic copper smelting, mainly used in the manufacture of copper anodes. During the pressing process, the edge of the copper anode plate is pre-pressed into an ear shape to facilitate its firm fixation in the electrolytic cell and increase the contact area with the busbar. Through this pressing design, the copper anode plate can effectively contact the electrolyte, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency and promoting copper deposition and recovery. In addition, the pressing also enhances the mechanical strength of the anode plate and reduces the risk of damage caused by vibration or flow during electrolysis.

[0003] On the other hand, since copper anode plates are manufactured by casting, and the molds are different, the ears of the manufactured copper anode plates will be different. The depth of the ear formed by bending the ear is not uniform, which reduces the contact area with the conductive busbar, increases the inter-cell resistance, and affects the electrolysis efficiency.

[0004] In the prior art, utility model patent (CN220049523U) discloses a copper electrolytic anode plate ear shaping device, including a frame, an anvil block at the top corner of the frame, a pressure head above the anvil block, the pressure head being movably connected to the frame via a connecting rod, the connecting rod being L-shaped, with its two ends being movably connected to the anvil block and a hydraulic cylinder respectively, the bent part of the connecting rod being hinged to the frame, the other end of the hydraulic cylinder being hinged to the frame, and the frame and the anvil block being fixedly connected by bolts. This shaping device cannot replace or adjust different pressure head depths.

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved in this case is: how to adjust different insufflation depths. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a copper anode plate pressing device. This pressing device conveys the anode plate from one end of the frame to the feeding mechanism via a conveying unit. Then, the feeding mechanism transfers the anode plates one by one to the support blocks. At this time, the support blocks support the ears of the anode plates, so that there is a gap between the ears of the anode plates and the frame, and the ears are located below the pressing unit. The pressing unit then presses down on the edge of the ears of the anode plates to form the pressing ears. The pressing depth is related to the size of the gap. The gap size can be changed by changing the support blocks of different heights, thereby changing the pressing depth of the anode plates. This device can be adapted to copper anode plates produced by different molds, increasing the contact area between the ears of the anode plates and the conductive busbars, thereby ensuring the electrolysis effect and improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is:

The feeding mechanism is used to transfer the anode plates on the conveying unit one by one to the support block, and at the same time transfer the anode plates located on the support block to the next process. The anode plates located on the support block are bent at the edge of their ears by the pressing unit.

[0015] Preferably, the top of the conveyor plate is provided with at least two placement slots for accommodating the ears of the anode plate.

[0016] Preferably, the conveying unit is a chain conveyor.

[0017] One of the above-described technical solutions of this utility model has at least one of the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention involves conveying the anode plates from one end of the frame to the feeding mechanism via a conveying unit.

[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4A copper anode plate pressing device includes a frame 1, a conveying unit 5 for conveying copper anode plates 6, a pressing unit 3 connected to the frame 1, and a feeding mechanism 2. The conveying unit 5 is connected to both sides of the frame 1. The device also includes a support block 4 connected to the frame 1. The support block 4 is used to support the ears of the anode plates 6 so that there is a gap between the ears of the anode plates 6 and the frame 1. The feeding mechanism 2 is used to transfer the anode plates 6 on the conveying unit 5 one by one to the support block 4, and at the same time transfer the anode plates 6 located on the support block 4 to the next process. The anode plates 6 located on the support block 4 have their ear edges bent by the pressing unit 3.

[0027] In practical applications, the workers transport the anode plates 6 one by one from one end of the frame 1 to the feeding mechanism 2 via the conveying unit 5. The feeding mechanism 2 then transfers the anode plates 6 one by one onto the support block 4. At this time, the support block 4 supports the ears of the anode plates 6, leaving a gap between the ears of the anode plates 6 and the top of the frame 1. The pressing unit 3 presses down on the edge of the ears of the anode plates 6 to form the pressing ears. These pressing ears need to contact the conductive busbars used in subsequent electrolysis. The conductive busbars can be found in reference CN211112254U, and will not be elaborated upon here. Since the anode plates 6 are generally formed by casting, and the casting mold... The inability to achieve perfect consistency leads to situations where the anode plate 6 is pressed too deeply or too shallowly during the pressing process. This reduces the contact area between the anode plate 6 and the conductive busbar, increasing the inter-cell resistance of the electrolytic cell in the subsequent electrolytic copper electrolysis and reducing electrolysis efficiency. However, by replacing the support blocks 4 with different heights for the anode plates 6 produced in different batches, the gap size can be controlled, thereby controlling the pressing depth. This ensures that the pressing blocks of the anode plate 6 can make full contact with the conductive busbar, guaranteeing the electrolysis effect and improving electrolysis efficiency. It should be noted that the conveying unit 5 is generally a chain conveyor belt.

[0028] Preferably, the support block 4 includes a connecting block 41 for supporting the ear of the anode plate 6 and a connector 42 connected to both ends of the connecting block 41. The frame 1 is provided with a connecting rod 11 that matches the connector 42, and the connector 42 is detachably connected to the connecting rod 11.

[0029] With the above design, when the anode plate 6 is located below the pressure ear unit 3, the connecting block 41 serves as the part supporting the ear of the anode plate 6. The height of the connecting block 41 is the size of the gap. The connecting block 41 can be connected to the connecting rod 11 through the connecting piece 42. The connecting piece 42 can also be removed from the connecting rod 11 for replacement, thereby replacing the support block 4 with different heights for the anode plates 6 produced in different batches, thus controlling the pressure ear depth, ensuring the electrolysis effect, and improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0030] Preferably, the connecting block 41 is cylindrical.

[0031] In this embodiment, the vertical cross-section of the connecting block 41 is cylindrical, which can better protect the connecting block 41. If the vertical cross-section of the connecting block 41 is square, the ear of the anode plate 6 may be crushed during the pressing process.

[0032] Preferably, the connector 42 is a connecting ring, and the connecting ring and the connecting block 41 are integrally formed.

[0033] In the above design, the connecting ring can be directly fitted onto the connecting rod 11, which makes it convenient for workers to operate. On the other hand, the one-piece molding design can improve the stability of the support block 4.

[0034] Preferably, the pressure ear unit 3 includes a driving hydraulic cylinder 31 and a pressure plate 32. The pressure plate 32 is hinged to the frame 1. The cylinder body of the driving hydraulic cylinder 31 is located below the pressure plate 32, and the power output part is hinged to the bottom of the pressure plate 32. The pressure plate 32 can be driven by the driving hydraulic cylinder 31 to bend the ear edge of the anode plate 6.

[0035] In this embodiment, the driving hydraulic cylinder 31 can swing the pressure plate 32 around the hinge point of the frame 1, thereby bending the ear of the anode plate 6. The driving hydraulic cylinder 31 is selected to ensure the downward pressure and the downward pressure of the pressure plate 32 on the edge of the ear of the anode plate 6.

[0036] Preferably, the pressure plate 32 is provided with a pressure block 321, which is used to bend the ear edge of the anode plate 6.

[0037] Through the above design, the pressure block 321 can position the edge of the ear of the anode plate 6, thereby ensuring that the pressure position of the anode plate 6 can make better contact with the conductive busbar, ensuring the electrolysis effect and improving the efficiency of electrolysis.

[0038] Preferably, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a transmission component 21, a drive motor 22, and a conveying plate 23. The drive motor 22 is connected to both sides of the frame 1. The conveying plate 23 is connected to the drive motor 22 through the transmission component 21. The conveying plate 23 transfers the anode plates 6 on the conveying unit 5 one by one to the support block 4 through the transmission component 21.

[0039] Preferably, the top of the conveying plate 23 is provided with at least two placement slots 231, which are used to accommodate the ears of the anode plate 6.

[0040] In the above design, the drive motor 22 can drive the transmission component 21 to rotate, so that the transmission component 21 can transfer the anode plates 6 on the conveying unit 5 one by one to the support block 4. Specifically, the movement of the transmission component 21 is to lift the anode plates 6 located at one end of the frame 1. When the transmission component 21 is below the frame 1, the anode plates 6 fall on the frame 1 or the support block 4. In this way, they can be conveyed to the underside of the pressure ear unit 3, and it can be ensured that the anode plates 6 can be transferred to the support block 4 in a progressive manner, thereby ensuring that they can be located below the pressure ear unit 3 for pressure ear operation.

[0041] In this embodiment, the transmission component 21 is mainly a four-bar linkage, as detailed in patent document CN222273262U, which will not be elaborated here. In this embodiment, there are three placement slots 231. With this design, the anode plate 6 above the transmission component 21 can be simultaneously transported to the ear-pressing area by the transmission component 21 driven by the conveyor plate 23; the anode plate 6 to be pressed can be transported to the ear-pressing unit 3; and the anode plate 6 after ear pressing can be transported to the external transport equipment and then to the next process. In this way, the anode plate 6 can be transported in a progressive manner by the conveyor plate 23, thereby ensuring that the anode plate 6 undergoes the ear-pressing process normally and orderly.

[0042] Preferably, the conveying unit 5 is a chain conveyor.

[0043] In this embodiment, since the anode plate 6 is relatively heavy, the anode plate 6 can be transported to the feeding mechanism 2 by means of chain conveying.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
