[0003] During the welding of anode trays, since the anode trays currently in use are mainly steel plate splicing structures, there are many welds and it is not easy to fix the welded parts together. When welding the support frame of the anode tray, channel steel is used for the support frame. During the assembly and welding process, the finished size of the support frame is prone to not conforming to the standard size. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mold for assisting in the welding of anode trays, thereby addressing the problems existing in the prior art described above.

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

[0006] A mold for assisting in welding an anode tray includes a base plate with a rectangular structure. The first long side of the base plate is provided with a first limiting plate for limiting long channel steel on the anode tray. The first and second short sides of the base plate are respectively provided with a second limiting plate and a fourth limiting plate, which are used to limit short channel steel on the anode tray. The fourth limiting plate is detachably connected to the base plate. A third limiting plate is provided at the connection between the first long side and the first short side of the base plate, which is used to limit the end of the long channel steel on the anode tray.

[0007] The channel steel is positioned by the first, second, third, and fourth limiting plates, which facilitates precise alignment between the channel steels.

[0008] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with a groove, which is used to move the channel steel in conjunction with a pry bar.

[0009] The channel steel is moved by using a pry bar in conjunction with the groove, making it easier for the channel steel to move on the base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the first limiting plate, the second limiting plate, and the fourth limiting plate are all higher than the channel steel of the anode tray, while the third limiting plate is lower than the channel steel of the anode tray.

[0011] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with an adjustment mechanism for pushing the channel steel. The adjustment mechanism includes a support fixed to the base plate, and a screw threadedly connected to the support. The screw is arranged in a horizontal direction, with a handle at one end and a push plate rotatably connected to the other end.

[0012] The adjustment mechanism is used to move the channel steel to ensure precise alignment between the channel steel sections.

[0013] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a first adjustment mechanism, a second adjustment mechanism, and a third adjustment mechanism. The first adjustment mechanism is located on the opposite side of the third limiting plate, and the second and third limiting mechanisms are respectively aligned with the short channel steels on both sides of the anode tray.

[0014] Furthermore, the push plate is rectangular.

[0015] Furthermore, the fourth limiting plate is connected to the base plate by bolts.

[0016] Compared with the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0017] 1. This utility model sets a first limiting plate, a second limiting plate, a third limiting plate and a fourth limiting plate on the base plate to form a welding mold for the anode tray. During the welding process, the first limiting plate, the second limiting plate, the third limiting plate and the fourth limiting plate are used to limit the channel steel, which facilitates the precise alignment between the channel steels, so that the finished size of the support frame meets the standard size and improves the manufacturing qualification rate of the anode tray.

[0018] 2. Grooves are provided on the base plate. Workers use pry bars and grooves to move the channel steel to the designated position, which facilitates the movement of the channel steel.

[0019] 3. An adjustment mechanism is set in the base plate. The channel steel is pushed by the adjustment mechanism to make the channel steels accurately aligned. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The anode tray has a rectangular frame structure, including a support frame surrounding it. The support frame is made of channel steel 11, and support bars 12 are welded inside the support frame. The support bars 12 are made of steel plates.

[0030] Anode tray dimensions:

[0031] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment discloses a mold for assisting in the welding of an anode tray, including a base plate 21. The base plate 21 is rectangular, and its size is larger than the overall frame size of the anode tray. The base plate 21 has two sets of long sides and two sets of short sides. The long sides include a first long side 211 and a second long side 212 that are parallel and spaced apart. A first limiting plate 22 is provided on the base plate 21 located on one side of the first long side 211. The first limiting plate 22 is perpendicularly connected to the base plate 21. Along the extension direction of the first long side 211, the first limiting plate 22 is spaced apart. Two short sides are provided; the short sides include a first short side 213 and a second short side 214 that are parallel and spaced apart. A second limiting plate 23 is provided on the base plate 21 located on one side of the first short side 213. The second limiting plate 23 is perpendicularly connected to the base plate 21. Two second limiting plates 23 are provided at intervals along the extension direction of the first short side 213 on the base plate 21. A third limiting plate 24 is provided on the first short side 213. The third limiting plate 24 is located near the connection between the first long side 211 and the first short side 213. The third limiting plate 24 is used to limit the end of the channel steel 11 of the anode tray.

[0032] A fourth limiting plate 25 is provided on the base plate 21 near the second short side 214. Two sets of the fourth limiting plates 25 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second short side 214.

[0033] The fourth limiting plate 25 is detachably connected to the base plate 21, facilitating the removal of the welded anode tray. The bottom of the fourth limiting plate 25 is provided with a connecting plate 251, which has a connecting hole. The base plate 21 has a corresponding first threaded hole, and the connecting hole and the first threaded hole are aligned and connected and fixed by bolts.

[0034] The first limiting plate 22, the second limiting plate 23, and the fourth limiting plate 25 are all higher than the channel steel 11, while the third limiting plate 24 is lower than the height of the channel steel 11. The end of the channel steel 11 is limited by the third limiting plate 24, while the influence of the third limiting plate 24 on welding is reduced.

[0035] The working process of the mold used to assist in welding the anode tray in this embodiment:

[0036] First, the channel steel 11 used for welding the anode tray support frame is placed on the top surface of the base plate 21;

[0037] Then, the channel surface of a long channel steel 11 is oriented toward the first limiting plate 22 and moved to abut against the first limiting plate 22. At the same time, the position of the channel steel 11 is adjusted so that one end abuts against the third limiting plate 24.

[0038] Next, the groove surface of one short channel steel 11 is oriented toward the second limiting plate 23 and moved to abut against the second limiting plate 23. Similarly, the groove surface of another short channel steel 11 is oriented toward the fourth limiting plate 25 and made to abut against the fourth limiting plate 25. The positions of the two short channel steels 11 are adjusted so that their ends abut against the long channel steel 11 located on one side.

[0039] Then, the back of another long channel steel 11 is abutted against the ends of the two short channel steels 11 respectively, and the connection between the channel steels 11 is welded to form the support frame of the anode tray.

[0040] Finally, support bars 12 are welded evenly between the two sets of long channel steels 11 to complete the welding of the anode tray.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] This embodiment is a further improvement on embodiment 1.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a mold for assisting in the welding of anode trays. The base plate 21 is provided with a groove 40, which is used to cooperate with a pry bar to pry the channel steel 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, the groove 40 includes a first groove 41, a second groove 42, and a third groove 43.

[0045] The first groove 41 is perpendicular to the long side of the base plate 21. Two sets of the first groove 41 are arranged at intervals. The two sets of first groove 41 are located on both sides of the midpoint of the long side of the base plate 21 and are symmetrically distributed.

[0046] The second groove 42 is perpendicular to the short side of the base plate 21, and the second groove 42 is provided on both sides of the short side near the base plate 21.

[0047] The third groove 43 is parallel to the first groove 41, and the third groove 43 is located at the end near the first long side 211 of the base plate 21.

[0048] The working process of this embodiment follows that of Embodiment 1, and is specifically described as follows:

[0049] When a long channel steel 11 is moved to abut against the first limiting plate 22, the worker holds a pry bar with one end inserted into the first groove 41. The pry bar contacts the long channel steel 11, and the other end of the pry bar is lifted upward to pry the long channel steel 11 toward the first limiting plate 22. At the same time, the third groove 43 is used to pry the end of the long channel steel 11. The above process is repeated until the long channel steel 11 abuts against the first limiting plate 22.

[0050] Move the short channel steel 11 on both sides so that it abuts against the second limiting plate 23 and the fourth limiting plate 25 respectively. The worker holds a pry bar and uses it to pry the short channel steel 11 by inserting it into the second groove 42.

[0051] One end of the crowbar is inserted into the groove 40 and located below the channel steel 11. The groove 40 provides support for the crowbar, making it convenient for workers to quickly move the channel steel 11 using the crowbar.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] This embodiment is a further improvement on embodiment 1.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a mold for assisting in the welding of anode trays. The base plate 21 is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the channel steel 11.

[0055] Reference Figure 4 The adjustment mechanism includes a support 34, with a horizontally penetrating second threaded hole on the upper part of the support 34. A screw 35 is threaded through the second threaded hole and connected to it via a threaded drive. One end of the screw 35 is provided with a hand-held part 36, and the other end is rotatably connected to a push plate 37. The screw 35 is perpendicular to the push plate 37.

[0056] Push plate 37 has a rectangular structure (see reference). Figure 4When pushing the end of the channel steel 11, the long side of the push plate 37 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 21, so that the push plate 37 contacts the ends of the vertical and horizontal sidewalls at the corner of the channel steel 11, which facilitates pushing the channel steel 11; (refer to...) Figure 5 When pushing the channel steel 11 into the groove, rotate the push plate 37 so that the long side of the push plate 37 is parallel to the bottom plate 21, so that the push plate 37 can pass into the groove of the channel steel 11 and make the push plate 37 contact the inner wall of the channel steel 11.

[0057] Reference Figure 5 The hand-held part 36 can be a rod-shaped structure or a handwheel.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 The base plate 21 is provided with a first adjustment mechanism 31 at one end of the first long side 211. When the long channel steel 11 abuts against the first limiting plate 22, the third limiting plate 24 is located at one end of the long channel steel 11, and the first adjustment mechanism 31 is located at the other end of the long channel steel 11. The first adjustment mechanism 31 is used to push the long channel steel 11 so that the long channel steel 11 abuts against the third limiting plate 24.

[0059] A second adjustment mechanism 32 is provided on one end of the first short side 213 on the base plate 21. When the short channel steel 11 abuts against the second limiting plate 23, the third limiting plate 24 is located at one end close to the short channel steel 11, and the second adjustment mechanism 32 is located at the other end of the short channel steel 11. The second adjustment mechanism 32 is used to adjust the position of the short channel steel 11 so that the short channel steel 11 abuts against the long channel steel 11.

[0060] A third adjustment mechanism 33 is provided at one end of the second short side 214 on the base plate 21. When the other short channel steel 11 abuts against the fourth limiting plate 25, the third adjustment mechanism 33 is used to adjust the position of the short channel steel 11 so that the short channel steel 11 abuts against the long channel steel 11.

[0061] The working process of this embodiment follows that of Embodiment 1, and is described in detail below:

[0062] First, (refer to) Figure 2 The long channel steel 11 abuts against the first limiting plate 22. In the first adjusting mechanism 31, the screw 35 is rotated by the hand-held part 36, and the screw 35 drives the push plate 37 to push the long channel steel 11 so that its end abuts against the third limiting plate 24.

[0063] Then, the two sets of short channel steel 11 abut against the second limiting plate 23 and the fourth limiting plate 25 on both sides respectively. In the same way, the second adjusting mechanism 32 and the third adjusting mechanism 33 respectively push the short channel steel 11 on both sides to abut against the long channel steel 11. Then, adjust the push plate 37 of the second adjusting mechanism 32 and the third adjusting mechanism 33 to separate from the short channel steel 11.

[0064] Next, another long channel steel 11 is placed between the second adjustment mechanism 32 and the short channel steel 11, and the second adjustment mechanism 32 and the third adjustment mechanism 33 are used to push the long channel steel 11 to abut against the short channel steel 11 on both sides.

[0065] The subsequent welding process is the same as in Example 1, and will not be described again here.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
