Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of non-ferrous metal electrolysis processes, and specifically to a combined lifting device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolysis is currently one of the main methods for obtaining high-purity non-ferrous metal materials. The electrolytic cell is the main equipment in the electrolysis process. The electrolytic cell is a rectangular tank in which anode plates and cathode plates are suspended in sequence. During operation, each anode plate and cathode plate in the electrolytic cell works on both sides (except for the plates at both ends of the electrolytic cell), that is, both sides of the anode plate dissolve simultaneously, and both sides of the cathode plate precipitate simultaneously.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN201380021356.7 discloses a transfer device for transferring, lifting, and lowering an anode plate and a cathode plate. The device includes multiple paired components, each of which is arranged to pair with and cooperate with an anode hook. Each paired component has a specific structure and size to be inserted into the gap between the anode plate and the cathode plate in the electrolytic cell at the second side of the anode plate to be grasped and lifted, such that the lifting lug of the anode plate to be grasped and lifted is located between the pair of anode hooks and the paired components. This device can be used for double lifting of anodes without inner ear lugs.

[0004] However, currently, copper electrolysis trolleys have not been able to achieve automatic double-lifting of anodes with small spacing (100~105mm) and no inner ear. This is because for double-lifting of anodes with small spacing and no inner ear, due to the small distance between the anode plate and the cathode plate, it is difficult for the paired components to be inserted into the distance between the anode plate and the cathode plate in the electrolytic cell.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0031] It is understood that spatial relation terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “below,” “above,” “above,” etc., can be used here to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation.

Furthermore, the device may also include other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0032] A combined lifting device includes a cathode lifting device 2 and an anode lifting device 1.

[0033] The anode hanger 1 includes an anode hanger 11, an anode drive mechanism 13, and multiple anode hooks 12. The anode hooks 12 are arranged on the bottom of the front and rear sides of the anode hanger 11, and the anode drive mechanism 13 is used to drive the anode hooks 12 to hang on the anode plate.

[0034] The cathode hanger 2 includes a cathode hanger 21, a cathode drive mechanism 23, and multiple cathode hooks 22. The cathode hooks 22 are arranged on the bottom of the front and rear sides of the cathode hanger 21, respectively. The cathode drive mechanism 23 is used to drive the anode hooks 12 to be hooked onto the anode plate.

[0035] Both the anode hanger 11 and the cathode hanger 21 can move up and down, and the anode hanger 11 is also provided with a cathode translation mechanism 114, which is used to drive the cathode hanger to move left and right relative to the anode hanger 11.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the cathode plate is raised to a certain height, the cathode translation mechanism 114 pushes the cathode hanger 21 to produce a certain horizontal displacement, thereby increasing the distance between one side of the cathode plate and the anode plate, so that the anode hook 12 can be inserted between the anode plate and the cathode plate in the electrolytic cell, thereby realizing automatic double hanging of the anode without inner ear.

[0037] Specifically, the anode hanger 11 includes two horizontal beams 111 extending to the left and right and two vertical beams 112 extending to the front and back. The two horizontal beams 111 and the two vertical beams 112 are alternately connected end to end to form a square frame. The cathode hanger 21 is disposed between the two horizontal beams 111 and the two vertical beams 112, and both the horizontal beams 111 and the vertical beams 112 are clearance-fitted with the cathode hanger 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the crossbeams 111 are connected to the cathode hangers 21 by two limiting mechanisms. The two limiting mechanisms are respectively located at the left and right ends near the cathode hangers 21. The limiting mechanisms prevent the cathode hangers 21 from swaying back and forth relative to the anode hangers 11.

[0039] Each limiting mechanism includes a male limit block 113 and a female limit block 211. The male limit blocks 113 are respectively disposed on the side of the crossbeam 111 near the cathode hanger 21, and the female limit blocks 211 are respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the cathode hanger 21. The male limit blocks 113 slide in engagement with the corresponding female limit blocks 211. In addition, the male limit blocks 113 can be made of wear-resistant materials such as nylon.

[0040] In this embodiment, the anode lifting device 1 and the cathode lifting device 2 are not directly connected or in contact, and are set up independently of each other, which facilitates the later maintenance and upkeep of the lifting devices and greatly reduces the production, use and maintenance costs.

[0041] Both longitudinal beams 112 are equipped with cathode translation mechanisms 114 at their tops, which are used to push the cathode hangers 21 from the left and right sides respectively. The cathode translation mechanism 114 is a geared motor, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod. In this embodiment, the height of the cathode translation mechanism 114 is slightly higher than that of the cathode hangers 21. When the cathode hangers 21 are raised to a certain height, the cathode hangers 21 move to a height that matches that of the cathode translation mechanism 114.

[0042] The top of the anode hanger 11 is provided with at least one anode pulley 14 for connecting to the lifting device, and the top of the cathode hanger 21 is provided with at least one cathode pulley 24 for connecting to the lifting device. The anode hanger 11 and the cathode hanger 21 are moved up and down by the lifting device respectively.

[0043] In this embodiment, the anode hook 12 is an L-shaped rotating hook, and the cathode hook 22 is an L-shaped translation hook.

[0044] Specifically, the top of each anode hook 12 is rotatably connected to the crossbeam 111, and each anode hook 12 has a horizontally arranged connecting plate 121 connected to its top, with the connecting plates 121 arranged in parallel. The anode drive mechanism 13 includes an anode electric cylinder 131 and connecting rods extending to the left and right. The connecting plates 121 are rotatably connected to the connecting rods, which are connected to the anode electric cylinder 131. The anode electric cylinder 131 is mounted on the crossbeam 111 and is used to drive the connecting rods to move left and right, thereby driving the anode hooks 12 to rotate simultaneously.

[0045] In this embodiment, the connecting rod includes a first connecting rod 132 and a second connecting rod 133 respectively disposed on the inner and outer sides. The outer end of the connecting plate 121 is connected to the second connecting rod 133 disposed on the outer side. The inner end of any number of connecting plates 121 is connected to the first connecting rod 132 disposed on the inner side. The first connecting rod 132 is connected to the anode electric cylinder 131.

[0046] The cathode drive mechanism 23 includes a cathode electric cylinder 231, a sliding mounting bracket 232, and two slide rails 233. The two slide rails 233 extend laterally and are disposed on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the cathode hanger 21. The front and rear sides of the sliding mounting bracket 232 are respectively slidably engaged with the two slide rails 233. The cathode electric cylinder 231 drives the sliding mounting bracket 232 to slide left and right along the slide rails 233. The tops of the cathode hooks 22 are respectively mounted on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the sliding mounting bracket 232.

[0047] 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, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
