Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anode plate casting technology, and in particular to an anode plate lifting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the refining of metals such as copper, a large number of anode plates are required. Therefore, refineries need to cast the anode plates. After casting, the anode plates need to be cooled in a water tank before being densely stacked. This requires an anode plate lifting device to lift the anode plates from the water tank and place them in a stacking slide rail. Existing anode plate lifting devices include, for example, an intelligent plate-retrieving device for anode plate casting disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. 202410566764.0, which includes a water tank, an anode plate clamp located on one side of the water tank; a lifting frame located at the bottom of the anode plate clamp; a spraying assembly located inside the water tank; a conveying track located at the bottom of the lifting frame; a cleaning assembly located on the conveying track; a bracket located at the end of the conveying track away from the lifting frame; and a plate-retrieving elevator located above the bracket. In addition, some existing technologies use multi-link mechanisms for reciprocating lifting. In these lifting devices, a large number of moving parts are submerged in water tanks. Because the rotating parts cannot be lubricated in water, the bearings are prone to wear and the resistance increases. Severe wear can cause the cleaning brush or connecting rod to rotate poorly, causing the anode plate on the lifting arm to fall off and fail to work properly, affecting production. The bearings submerged in the water tank need to be replaced on average every two months, resulting in frequent manual maintenance and high costs. At the same time, when using a connecting rod to lift the anode plate, the travel of the telescopic rod needs to be at least 250 mm. The longer the working stroke, the lower the production efficiency. In addition, the wear of the shaft and bushing makes it impossible to guarantee concentricity, resulting in increased resistance. The heavy load on the telescopic rod also shortens its service life. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes an anode plate lifting device. By installing a vertically movable lifting rod on a mobile vehicle, components such as bearings are prevented from being submerged in water, thus extending their service life. Simultaneously, by using a telescopic rod parallel to the lifting rod, the required stroke is shorter, further extending the service life of the telescopic rod.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model proposes an anode plate lifting device, including: a water tank, a moving vehicle, a lifting rod, a first telescopic rod, and a lifting seat. The upper part of the water tank is provided with an inclined guide rail. The moving vehicle is slidably connected to the guide rail through walking wheels on both sides. The upper and lower parts of both sides of the moving vehicle are provided with guide wheel supports, and guide wheels are installed on the guide wheel supports. The lifting rod is slidably connected to the guide wheels along the vertical direction of the guide wheel support. There are multiple lifting rods, and the upper parts of the lifting rods are connected to each other through a connecting frame. The moving vehicle and the connecting frame are connected through the first telescopic rod. The lifting seat is connected to the bottom of the lifting rod.

[0006] Furthermore, a support is provided on the side of the water tank, and a second telescopic rod is provided between the support and the mobile vehicle, and the second telescopic rod is parallel to the guide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower part of the first telescopic rod is hinged to the mobile vehicle, the upper part of the first telescopic rod is hinged to the connecting frame, and the first telescopic rod is parallel to the lifting rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide wheel has a groove on its outer periphery, and the inner diameter of the groove is the same as the diameter of the lifting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, there are four lifting rods, which are respectively installed at the four corners of the mobile vehicle via guide wheels, and the upper parts of the four lifting rods are connected to each other via connecting frames. The two lifting rods on the same side are connected to each other via lifting seats.

[0010] Furthermore, the moving vehicle, the lifting seat, and the guide rail are parallel to each other.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting an inclined guide rail on the upper part of the water tank, the moving vehicle reciprocates through the second telescopic rod, and the lifting rod moves up and down through the first telescopic rod driving the connecting frame. This lifts the anode plates in the water tank and transports them to the stacking track for dense stacking. This avoids the bearings and other parts that require lubrication from being immersed in water, thus extending their service life. Moreover, the lifting rod only needs to lift the anode plates, reducing the extension stroke required by the first telescopic rod, improving efficiency, reducing wear on the first telescopic rod, and extending its service life.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Throughout the description, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0018] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the stated features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an anode plate lifting device, including: a water tank 1, a moving vehicle 2, a lifting rod 3, a first telescopic rod 4, and a lifting seat 5. The upper part of the water tank 1 is provided with an inclined guide rail 6. The moving vehicle 2 is slidably connected to the guide rail 6 through the traveling wheels 7 on both sides. The upper and lower parts of both sides of the moving vehicle 2 are provided with guide wheel supports 8. Guide wheels 9 are installed on the guide wheel supports 8, and the lifting rod 3 is guided to the guide wheel supports 8 in the vertical direction. The lifting rod 3 is slidably connected to the guide wheels 9. There are multiple lifting rods 3, and the upper parts of the lifting rods 3 are connected to each other through a connecting frame 10. The moving vehicle 2 and the connecting frame 10 are connected through the first telescopic rod 4. The lifting seat 5 is connected to the bottom of the lifting rod 3.

[0020] After the anode plate is cast, it is picked up by a robotic arm and placed into a bracket in water tank 1. After being cooled by circulating water, the second telescopic rod 11 retracts, causing the moving carriage 2 to move to the lower side of the guide rail 6. At the same time, the first telescopic rod 4 controls the lifting rod 3 to lower the lifting seat 5. The moving carriage 2 stops after moving to the predetermined position. At this time, the lifting seat 5 is located below the anode plate lug. Then, the first telescopic rod 4 extends, raising the anode plate by 30mm to 40mm through the lifting seat 5, separating the anode plate from the bracket. Then, the second telescopic rod 11 extends, thereby driving the moving carriage... 2. Moving along the guide rail 6, the anode plate is continuously raised as the guide rail 6 rises during the movement. After being transported to the stacking track, the second telescopic rod 11 stops extending, while the first telescopic rod 4 retracts. The lifting seat 5 descends and separates from the anode plate, placing the anode plate on the stacking track. Subsequently, the second telescopic rod 11 shortens, and through reciprocating motion, the anode plates in the water tank 1 are continuously lifted out. The anode plates are densely stacked one after another on the stacking track. Multiple anode plates can be grabbed at once by the robotic arm and sent to the next process for processing.

[0021] The first telescopic rod 4 only needs to drive the lifting rod 3 and the lifting seat 5 to raise the anode plate. The required stroke is short. Compared with the traditional mechanism that uses connecting rods for lifting, this device has low requirements for the first telescopic rod 4. The short extension stroke of the first telescopic rod 4 during operation can improve the lifting speed and reduce the wear of the first telescopic rod 4, thereby improving production efficiency. Moreover, when the equipment is working, only the lifting seat 5 and the lower end of the lifting rod 3 will be submerged in water, which can prevent the lubrication of bearings and other parts that require lubrication from being damaged by water, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0022] In one specific embodiment, a support is provided on the side of the water tank 1, and a second telescopic rod 11 is provided between the support and the mobile vehicle 2. The second telescopic rod 11 is parallel to the guide rail 6. The extension and retraction of the second telescopic rod 11 drives the mobile vehicle 2 to reciprocate on the guide rail 6, thereby continuously lifting the anode plate from the water tank 1 and moving it to the stacking track through the lifting seat 5.

[0023] In one specific embodiment, the lower part of the first telescopic rod 4 is hinged to the mobile vehicle 2, and the upper part of the first telescopic rod 4 is hinged to the connecting frame 10. The first telescopic rod 4 is parallel to the lifting rod 3. The connecting frame 10 connects all the lifting rods 3 to achieve overall lifting and lowering, thereby making the lifting and lowering movement smoother. The first telescopic rod 4 is set on both sides of the mobile vehicle 2. The two first telescopic rods 4 extend and retract synchronously to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

[0024] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guide wheel 9 has a groove on its outer circumference, and the inner diameter of the groove is the same as the diameter of the lifting rod 3. The groove of the guide wheel 9 limits the lifting rod 3, so that the lifting rod 3 can only move in a straight line, thereby accurately lifting the lifting seat 5 and lifting the anode plate through the plate ear.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, there are four lifting rods 3. The four lifting rods 3 are installed at the four corners of the mobile vehicle 2 via guide wheels 9. The upper parts of the four lifting rods 3 are connected to each other via connecting frames 10. The two lifting rods 3 on the same side are connected to each other via lifting seats 5. The four lifting rods 3, connecting frames 10, and lifting seats 5 are fixedly connected to form a frame structure. Under the limitation of the guide wheels 9, this frame can only move in a straight line, thereby lifting the copper anode plate, improving the load-bearing capacity, and ensuring the stable operation of the equipment under heavy load.

[0026] Preferably, the moving vehicle 2, the lifting seat 5, and the guide rail 6 are parallel to each other, so that when the moving vehicle 2 moves along the guide rail 6, it can move the anode plate horizontally and raise the anode plate so that the plate ears on the upper part of the anode plate are exposed above the water surface, which is convenient for the robot arm to position and grasp.

[0027] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
