Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment, specifically a conductive rod conveying mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Conductive rods are widely used in hydrometallurgical processes for metal electrolysis. The material of the conductive rods is relatively stable, and they can be recycled as long as they are properly maintained and treated. After treatment, the conductive rods are bundled together and hoisted to the designated unit location by hoisting equipment, and then distributed one by one to the next unit for use.
[0003] A utility model patent entitled "Conducting Rod Conveying Device" (Document No. CN203997896U) discloses a conductive rod conveying scheme. After the conductive rod is grasped by a material gripping component, it is transported by a conveyor belt, thereby continuously separating and transporting the conductive rod from one unit to another designated unit. The scheme in the above-mentioned document has the following disadvantages: a material gripping mechanism is required at the upstream end of the conveyor belt to grasp the conductive rod one by one and place the conductive rod on the conveyor belt. On the one hand, the conductive rod will slip relative to each other on the conveyor belt, resulting in disordered conveying posture of the conductive rod, which will make subsequent grasping difficult. On the other hand, due to the frequent operation of the material gripping mechanism, the service life of the material gripping mechanism will be drastically reduced, and the power consumption will also be large. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conductive rod conveying mechanism that can convey conductive rods one by one while maintaining the conveying posture of the conductive rods during the conveying process.
[0005] This utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a conductive rod conveying mechanism, wherein the frame is provided with upper and lower sprockets arranged horizontally with their cores arranged at intervals, the upper and lower sprockets being located on vertical surfaces, the left and right conveying chains respectively meshing with the upper and lower sprockets on the left and right sides, the two ends of horizontally arranged rods being connected to the left and right conveying chains respectively, and the rods being arranged at intervals, the area between adjacent rods being used to accommodate a single conductive rod, the frame surface of the guide frame being arranged obliquely and the lower edge of the guide frame being close to the lower part of the conveying surface constructed by the rods, the intersection line of the guide frame and the conveying surface constructed by the rods being located in the horizontal direction, and the guide frame and the conveying surface constructed by the rods being placed on both sides of the vertical surface passing through their intersection line.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0007] By using the guide frame and the rods on the conveyor chain in cooperation, the conductive rods are embedded one by one in the area between two adjacent rods and then conveyed upward to the upper sprocket and fall into the designated area. This completes the process of conveying the conductive rods to the designated area one by one. Moreover, there is no relative displacement between the conductive rods and the left and right conveyor chains during the conveying process, and the conveying posture of the conductive rods is determined.

[0011] Figure 4 for Figure 1 A magnified view of region C in the image. Detailed Implementation
[0012] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a conductive rod conveying mechanism includes a frame 10 with upper and lower sprockets 21 and 22 arranged horizontally with their cores spaced apart on the vertical surfaces. Left and right conveying chains 23 mesh with the upper and lower sprockets 21 and 22 on the left and right sides, respectively. Horizontally arranged rods 24 are connected at both ends to the left and right conveying chains 23, and are spaced apart. The area between adjacent rods 24 is used to accommodate a single conductive rod A. The frame surface of the guide frame 30 is arranged obliquely, and the lower edge of the frame surface of the guide frame 30 is close to the lower part of the conveying surface constructed by the rods 24. The intersection line of the frame surface of the guide frame 30 and the conveying surface constructed by the rods 24 is located horizontally. The frame surface of the guide frame 30 and the conveying surface constructed by the rods 24 are located on both sides of the vertical surface passing through their intersection line.
[0013] In the above scheme, the guide frame 30 receives multiple conductive rods A hoisted by the hoisting equipment. With the guide frame 30 in an inclined state, the conductive rods A will accumulate on the guide frame 30 near the rod 24. As the drive mechanism drives the upper and lower sprockets 21 and 22 to rotate, the left and right conveyor chains 23 will rotate cyclically. The conductive rods A will automatically lie down in the area between two adjacent rods 24. Then, the rotation of the left and right conveyor chains 23 will cause the conductive rods A to be conveyed upward. When the conductive rods A are conveyed past the upper sprocket 21 and downward, they will detach from the area between the two rods 24 and fall into the designated dropping area. This completes the process of conveying the conductive rods A one by one to the designated position. Moreover, there will be no relative displacement between the conductive rods and the left and right conveyor chains 23 during the conveying process, ensuring that the conductive rods A are conveyed to the designated position in a horizontal state.
[0014] The left and right conveyor chains 23 are provided with connecting plates 232 for connecting rods 24 on the chain plates 231. The connecting plates 232 are perpendicular to the conveying surface of the rods 24. The rods 24 are long strips with rectangular cross-sections. The left and right ends of the rods 24 are provided with recesses 241 for embedding the connecting plates 232. All surfaces of the rectangular cross-section rods 24 are planar. When the conductive rod A is placed in the area between two adjacent rods 24, the top surface of the rod 24 below the conductive rod A supports the conductive rod A, and the bottom surface of the rod 24 above the conductive rod A restricts the conductive rod A from displacing along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain.
[0015] A receiving frame 40 for receiving fallen conductive rods A is provided on the frame 10 at a position below the upper sprocket 21. A guide plate 41 is provided on the side of the receiving frame 40 near the upper sprocket 21. At least two guide plates 41 are arranged in parallel with each other and the plate surface of the guide plate 41 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the upper and lower sprockets 21 and 22. The upper end of the upper inclined side 411 of the guide plate 41 is arranged close to the upper sprocket 21, and the lower end of the upper inclined side 411 extends to the receiving surface of the receiving frame 40. When the conductive rod A is conveyed past the upper sprocket 21 and downward, the conductive rod A will detach from the area between the two rods 24 and slide down along the guide plate 41 onto the receiving frame 40, so as to collect the fallen conductive rod A.
[0016] The horizontal distance between the left and right conveyor chains 23 is less than the length of the conductive rod A. This arrangement ensures that after the rod 24 is connected to the left and right conveyor chains 23, the two ends of the conductive rod A pass over the two ends of the rod 24, thus preventing the conductive rod A from falling out of the space between the left and right conveyor chains 23.
[0017] The width of the guide frame 30 is less than the length of the conductive rod A; this setting can prevent the guide rod A, which is hoisted onto the guide frame 30, from falling out of the area between the left and right sides of the guide frame 30.
[0018] The guide frame 30 includes parallel left and right diagonal bars 31, which are connected by a horizontal bar 32. The left and right diagonal bars 31 and the horizontal bar 32 are arranged in the same plane. There are vertical baffles 50 with parallel surfaces on the outer sides of the left and right sides of the diagonal bars 31. The distance between the vertical baffles 50 is greater than the length of the conductive rod A. The two vertical baffles 50 make the two ends of the conductive rod A basically aligned.
