Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of anode plate handling technology, and specifically relates to a gravity-type reset anode plate detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Anode plates are corrosion-resistant materials widely used in metal processing and treatment industries. They possess excellent electrochemical and electrical properties and are used in many industrial applications. After being formed on the anode casting platform, anode plates need to be transferred to a cooling tank for cooling before being removed for further processing. Currently, the anode plates are removed from the cooling tank by a plate-retrieving machine that picks them up from a disc and places them on a chain in the tank. The chain then transports the anode plates to the end of the tank, where a host computer at the top grabs them and removes them from the tank. However, due to the speed difference between the chains on both sides of the tank and the lack of any obstructing equipment, the anode plates often fail to reach the designated position during transport, or they become severely misaligned within the tank, making it impossible for the host computer's mechanical equipment to accurately retrieve them from the tank. This significantly impacts transport efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a gravity-type reset anode plate detection device. After detecting the position of the anode plate in the water tank using a proximity switch, the chain conveyor stops and the host computer is activated to grab the anode plate when the anode plate reaches the set position, thereby improving the grabbing accuracy and transportation efficiency.

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

[0005] A gravity-type reset anode plate detection device is installed on both sides of the anode plate water tank, including a connecting base, a proximity switch, a push rod, a detection plate, a rotating shaft I, a rotating arm, and an "L"-shaped connecting baffle.

[0006] An "L"-shaped bracket is fixed on one side of the bottom of the connecting base for connecting with the anode plate water tank. A pair of "L"-shaped connecting baffles are symmetrically fixed on the other side of the bottom of the connecting base. A bracket is fixed in the middle of the front end of the "L"-shaped connecting baffle for placing a proximity switch. A top rod is sleeved on the bottom of the front end of the "L"-shaped connecting baffle.

[0007] The “L”-shaped connecting baffle is symmetrically provided with a pair of swing arm bases on one side. A rotating shaft I is movably connected to the swing arm base. The front end of the rotating shaft I is fixedly connected to the top end of the swing arm. A detection plate is hinged to the side of the top end of the swing arm away from the rotating shaft I. A roller is connected to the bottom end of the swing arm through the rotating shaft II.

[0008] The end of the detection plate furthest from the rotating arm is L-shaped and close to the proximity switch;

[0009] The proximity switch is electrically connected to the host computer.

[0010] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0011] Before transporting the anode plate, the detection device of this invention is bolted to both sides of the anode plate water tank via an "L"-shaped bracket connected to the bottom of the base, with the detection device located inside the anode plate water tank. Then, the water tank chain drives the anode plate to move towards the end of the tank. When the anode plate's two ears reach the roller, the ears press the roller, causing the roller to drive the rotating arm to rotate along the rotating shaft I. At this time, one end of the detection plate connected to the rotating arm is driven to move closer to the anode plate's two ears, causing the other end of the detection plate to lift upwards and move towards the proximity switch. When the anode plate reaches the top rod and is stopped by the top rod, the detection plate also reaches the front of the proximity switch. Then, the proximity switch sends a signal to the host computer, the water tank chain stops, the host computer lowers the robotic arm to grab the anode plate and remove it from the anode plate water tank. The roller can rotate to ensure that it rotates after being touched by the anode plate's two ears, reducing pressure and preventing damage. Once the anode plate is completely removed, the end of the detection plate closest to the proximity switch moves downwards and away from the proximity switch under the influence of gravity, simultaneously causing the rotating arm to rotate, thus restoring the roller to its original position. The water tank chain then rotates again, driving the next anode plate to move towards the roller. This process is repeated to efficiently and accurately locate and grab the anode plate.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bracket has a hollow limiting groove in the middle for placing a proximity switch, and the two ends of the main body of the proximity switch are clamped in the limiting groove by nuts.

[0013] The proximity switch can move within the limit slot to be adjusted for different sizes of detection plates, ensuring detection accuracy.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the end of the detection plate connected to the rotating arm is provided with several arc-shaped grooves, and the rotating arm is provided with bolts that match the arc-shaped grooves. After the bolts pass through the arc-shaped grooves, nuts are screwed on.

[0015] By setting an arc-shaped groove on the detection plate and connecting it to the swing arm, the swing arm can rotate a larger range in the arc-shaped groove, thereby increasing the rotation range of the detection plate. When the detection plate returns to its original position, it can fall at a larger angle, avoiding the detection plate rotating too little under its own weight, which would cause inaccurate detection by the proximity switch and affect the grasping accuracy of the host computer.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0017] This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to install. After being installed on both sides of the anode plate water tank, the anode plate's compression drives the detection plate to approach the proximity switch, which sends a signal to control the host computer to grab the anode plate. At the same time, a top rod is set to limit the position of the anode plate's movement, preventing the anode plate from excessively squeezing the roller and causing damage to the detection device. This improves the accuracy of anode plate grabbing and reduces manual labor. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the technical means used are all conventional technical means in the art. Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1 The gravity-type resetting anode plate detection device shown is installed on both sides of the anode plate water tank 16. After installation, it is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the detection device includes a connecting base 1, a proximity switch 3, a push rod 5, a detection plate 7, a rotating shaft I 8, a rotating arm 10, and an "L"-shaped connecting baffle 11;

[0023] The bottom of the connecting base 1 is fixed with an "L"-shaped bracket 2 for connecting with the anode plate water tank. A pair of "L"-shaped connecting baffles 11 are symmetrically fixed on the other side of the bottom of the connecting base 1. A bracket 4 is fixed at the middle of the front end of the "L"-shaped connecting baffle 11 for placing the proximity switch 3. A top rod 5 is sleeved at the bottom of the front end of the "L"-shaped connecting baffle 11.

[0024] The “L”-shaped connecting baffle 11 is symmetrically provided with a pair of swing arm bases 12 on one side. A rotating shaft I8 is movably connected to the swing arm base 12. The front end of the rotating shaft I8 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating arm 10. A detection plate 7 is hinged to the top end of the rotating arm 10 away from the rotating shaft I8. A roller 6 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating arm 10 through a rotating shaft II9.

[0025] The end of the detection plate 7 furthest from the rotating arm 10 is L-shaped and close to the proximity switch 3;

[0026] The proximity switch 3 is electrically connected to the host computer.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, before transporting the anode plate, the detection device of this utility model is installed on both sides of the anode plate water tank 16 by bolts through the "L"-shaped bracket 2 connecting the bottom of the base 1, and the detection device is located inside the anode plate water tank 16. Then, the water tank chain 18 drives the anode plate 17 to move towards the end of the tank. When the anode plate's double ears 19 reach the roller 6, the double ears 19 press the roller 6, and the roller 6 drives the rotating arm 10 to rotate along the rotating shaft I8. At this time, one end of the detection plate 7 connected to the rotating arm 10 is driven to move closer to the anode plate's double ears 19, and the other end of the detection plate 7 is lifted up and moved towards the position of the proximity switch 3. When the anode plate 17 reaches the top rod 5 and is stopped by the top rod 5, the detection plate 7 also reaches the front of the proximity switch 3. Then, the proximity switch 3 sends a signal to the host computer, the water tank chain 18 stops, the host computer lowers the robotic arm to grab the anode plate 17 and then removes it from the anode plate water tank 16. The roller 6 can rotate to ensure that the roller 6 rotates after being touched by the anode plate's double ears 19, reducing pressure and preventing damage. Once the anode plate 17 is completely removed, the end of the detection plate 7 closest to the proximity switch 3 moves downward away from the proximity switch 3 under the action of gravity, while simultaneously driving the rotating arm 10 to rotate, thereby restoring the roller 6 to its original position. The water tank chain 18 then rotates again, driving the next anode plate 17 to move towards the roller 6. This process is repeated to efficiently and accurately position and grab the anode plate 17. Example 2

[0029] This embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 1, as detailed below:

[0030] The bracket 4 has a hollow limiting groove 20 in the middle for placing the proximity switch 3. The two ends of the main body of the proximity switch 3 are clamped in the limiting groove 20 by nuts.

[0031] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1. The proximity switch 3 can move in the limiting groove 20 so as to be adjusted according to the detection plate 7 of different sizes to ensure detection accuracy. Example 3

[0032] This embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 2, as detailed below:

[0033] The detection plate 7 is connected to the rotating arm 10 at one end and is provided with several arc-shaped grooves 14. The rotating arm 10 is provided with bolts 15 that match the arc-shaped grooves 14. After the bolts 15 pass through the arc-shaped grooves 14, nuts 13 are screwed on.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 2. By setting an arc groove 14 on the detection plate 7 and connecting it with the swing arm 10, the swing arm 10 can rotate a larger range in the arc groove 14, thereby increasing the rotation range of the detection plate 7. When the detection plate 7 returns to its position, it can fall at a larger angle, avoiding the detection plate 7 rotating too little under its own gravity, which would cause the proximity switch 3 to detect inaccurately and affect the accuracy of the upper computer's grasping.

The protection scope of this utility model is defined by the claims.
