Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of copper electrode production technology, and in particular relates to a feeding and conveying device for a copper electrode production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of copper electrode plates, long strips of copper electrode plates need to be cut to specific dimensions. The cut copper electrode plates are then rapidly conveyed along the cutting direction. We need to unload the cut copper electrodes from the cutting equipment and transfer them to the next workstation for collection. Current technologies primarily rely on unloading and conveying for this process, which is inefficient and poses challenges to worker safety.

[0003] Therefore, a feeding and conveying device for a copper electrode production line is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a feeding and conveying device for a copper electrode production line.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a feeding and conveying device for a copper electrode production line, comprising:

[0006] The bottom of the box has two mounting brackets fixed to one end. The two mounting brackets are arranged along the copper electrode input direction. Several limiting plates are arranged side by side on the mounting brackets. The copper electrode is transferred between the two limiting plates.

[0007] A lifting and conveying mechanism is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame and includes several lifting rods. The lifting rods are fixedly connected in parallel to the bottom of the box. The movable end of each lifting rod passes through the top surface of the bottom of the box and is fixedly connected to a receiving plate. The several receiving plates jointly receive the copper electrode that is conveyed between the two mounting frames. The receiving plate and the limiting plate are offset.

[0008] A horizontal conveying mechanism is located at the top of the box bottom and is used to convey the copper electrode held on the receiving plate in a direction perpendicular to the input direction of the copper electrode after the lifting rod descends.

[0009] Preferably, the horizontal conveying mechanism includes two rotating shafts, with a plurality of conveying wheels fixedly connected to the two rotating shafts respectively, and a conveyor belt drivingly connecting the two corresponding conveying wheels. One end of any rotating shaft extends out of the side of the bottom of the box and is fixedly connected to a motor, and the top surface of the plurality of conveyor belts is higher than the top surface of the bottom of the box.

[0010] Preferably, a capacitive sensor is fixedly attached to the top surface of the box at the beginning and end of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, transition components are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the mounting frame. The transition components are used to temporarily support the copper electrode when the lifting rod drives the copper electrode to descend.

[0012] Preferably, the transition assembly includes a plurality of telescopic rods, the outer ends of which are fixed to a connecting rod. The outer end of the connecting rod is connected to the movable end of a horizontal telescopic rod, which is fixed to the mounting frame via a mounting block. The telescopic rod extends between the two limiting plates when the lifting rod descends and retracts away from the two limiting plates after the lifting rod rises. The telescopic rod is offset from the receiving plate and the limiting plates.

[0013] Preferably, a slider is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod, and a slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket corresponding to the telescopic rod.

[0014] Preferably, the slider has a T-shaped groove, and the slide rail is a T-shaped rail.

[0015] Preferably, a laser sensor is fixed to the top of the mounting bracket.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects:

[0017] Two mounting brackets fixed to one end of the box are set along the input direction of the copper electrode. The parallel limiting plates on them can form a precise guiding channel for the cut strip copper electrode, ensuring that the material enters the unloading area in a stable posture and position, avoiding deviation or jamming. The lifting and conveying mechanism at the bottom of the mounting bracket drives the receiving plate to move up and down through several lifting rods. The receiving plate and the limiting plate are staggered, which can smoothly lift the material from below after the copper electrode is output by the cutting equipment. The staggered design can avoid interference with the limiting plate during the up and down movement, ensuring that the copper electrode moves smoothly in the vertical direction. The horizontal conveying mechanism at the top of the box can convey the material in a direction perpendicular to the input direction after the lifting rod descends and the receiving plate and copper electrode descend synchronously to the conveying height. This realizes the automated turning from "vertical output" of the cutting equipment to "lateral transmission" of the next station without the need for manual adjustment of the material direction. The aforementioned structure, through a three-stage linkage of "limiting and positioning—lifting and receiving—horizontal turning," not only solves the problems of material deviation, excessive manual intervention, and low transmission efficiency in existing technologies, but also, thanks to the precise guidance of the limiting plate, the flexible connection of the receiving plate, and the automated direction conversion of the horizontal conveying mechanism, achieves stable receiving, efficient transmission, and multi-station layout adaptation of copper electrodes. This significantly improves the continuity, reliability, and automation of the production line, and has important technical value for the continuous and efficient production of copper electrodes.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding and conveying device for a copper electrode production line, comprising:

[0028] The bottom of the box 1 has two mounting brackets 2 fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the box 1. The two mounting brackets 2 are set along the input direction of the copper electrode 3. Several limiting plates 4 are arranged side by side on the mounting brackets 2. The copper electrode 3 is transferred between the two limiting plates 4.

[0029] The lifting and conveying mechanism 5 is located at the bottom of the mounting frame 2 and includes several lifting rods 501. The lifting rods 501 are fixedly connected in parallel inside the bottom box 1. The movable end of the lifting rod 501 passes through the top surface of the bottom box 1 and is fixedly connected to a receiving plate 502. The several receiving plates 502 together receive the copper electrode 3 that is conveyed to the two mounting frames 2. The receiving plate 502 and the limiting plate 4 are offset.

[0030] The horizontal conveying mechanism 6 is located at the top of the box bottom 1 and is used to convey the copper electrode 3 supported on the receiving plate 502 in a direction perpendicular to the input direction of the copper electrode 3 after the lifting rod 501 descends.

[0031] Two mounting brackets 2, fixed to one end of the bottom of the box 1, are set along the input direction of the copper electrode 3. The parallel limiting plates 4 on them can form a precise guiding channel for the cut strip-shaped copper electrode 3, ensuring that the material enters the unloading area in a stable posture and position, avoiding deviation or jamming. The lifting and conveying mechanism 5 at the bottom of the mounting bracket 2 drives the receiving plate 502 to move up and down through several lifting rods 501. The receiving plate 502 and the limiting plate 4 are staggered, which can smoothly lift the material from below after the copper electrode 3 is output by the cutting equipment. The staggered design can avoid interference with the limiting plate 4 during the up and down movement, ensuring that the copper electrode 3 moves smoothly in the vertical direction. The horizontal conveying mechanism 6 at the top of the bottom of the box 1 can convey the material in a direction perpendicular to the input direction after the lifting rods 501 descend and the receiving plate 502 and the copper electrode 3 descend synchronously to the conveying height. This realizes the automated turning from "vertical output" of the cutting equipment to "lateral transmission" of the next station without the need for manual adjustment of the material direction. The above structure, through a three-stage linkage of "limiting and positioning, lifting and receiving, and horizontal turning," not only solves the problems of material deviation, excessive manual intervention, and low transmission efficiency in existing technologies, but also achieves stable receiving, efficient transmission, and multi-station layout adaptation of copper electrodes 3 by relying on the precise guidance of the limiting plate 4, the flexible connection of the receiving plate 502, and the automated direction conversion of the horizontal conveying mechanism 6. This significantly improves the continuity, reliability, and automation of the production line and has important technical value for the continuous and efficient production of copper electrodes 3.

[0032] The scheme is further optimized. The horizontal conveying mechanism 6 includes two rotating shafts 601, and several conveying wheels 602 are fixedly connected to the two rotating shafts 601. A conveyor belt 603 is connected between the two corresponding conveying wheels 602. One end of any rotating shaft 601 extends out of the side of the box bottom 1 and is fixedly connected to a motor 604. The top surface of the several conveyor belts 603 is higher than the top surface of the box bottom 1.

[0033] In the horizontal conveying mechanism 6, several conveying wheels 602 fixedly connected to the two rotating shafts 601 form a transmission system through the conveyor belt 603. Each rotating shaft 601 is driven by a motor 604, which can realize the continuous and uniform operation of the conveyor belt 603, ensuring the stable transmission of the copper electrode 3 in the horizontal direction. The design of the top surface of the conveyor belt 603 being higher than the top surface of the box bottom 1 allows the copper electrode 3 to seamlessly fit against the surface of the conveyor belt 603 when the receiving plate 502 of the lifting conveying mechanism 5 is lowered to the low position, avoiding material jamming or tilting due to height difference, and ensuring the stability of the transmission process. This structure, driven by an automated transmission method via a motor 604, can complete the long-distance horizontal transport of copper electrodes 3 without manual intervention, significantly improving transmission efficiency. At the same time, the continuous operation of the conveyor belt 603 is adapted to the periodic movement of the lifting and conveying mechanism 5, realizing efficient linkage of "receiving-lowering-transferring", ensuring a seamless transition of copper electrodes 3 from the vertical receiving state to the horizontal transmission state, meeting the high-speed operation requirements of the production line. Its standardized transmission component design also facilitates later maintenance and component replacement, further enhancing the practicality and reliability of the device.

[0034] In a further optimized design, a capacitive sensor 7 is fixedly attached to the top surface of the bottom of the box 1 at the beginning and end of the conveyor belt 603.

[0035] Capacitive sensors 7 are installed at both ends of the conveyor belt 603 on the top surface of the bottom of the box 1. The core advantage of this is that it enables precise monitoring of the transmission status of the copper electrode 3 through non-contact detection: the sensor at the beginning can detect in real time whether the copper electrode 3 is accurately placed on the conveyor belt 603 by the lifting and conveying mechanism 5, avoiding transmission omissions or jams caused by improper placement; the sensor at the end is used to determine whether the copper electrode 3 has been transported to the designated position, providing a material arrival signal for subsequent workstations, and keeping the conveyor belt 603 stationary until the material is removed from the designated position to prevent the material from falling and ensure that all mechanisms work together in sequence. This design utilizes the high sensitivity of the capacitive sensor 7 to metal materials to achieve non-contact detection of the copper electrode 3, avoiding scratches on the material surface or sensor wear that may occur with traditional mechanical contact detection. Through signal feedback from the beginning and end sensors, the start and stop of the horizontal conveyor mechanism 6 and the movement rhythm of the lifting rod 501 can be precisely controlled to prevent the conveyor belt 603 from running idle or materials from falling, thus improving the automation coordination and reliability of the transmission process. At the same time, the sensor layout is perfectly matched with the conveyor belt 603's transmission path, enabling real-time monitoring of material position and providing data support for intelligent control of the production line. This effectively reduces manual inspection costs and meets the high-precision monitoring requirements for material transmission status in high-speed, continuous production scenarios, thereby significantly improving the stability and production efficiency of the entire feeding and conveying device.

[0036] The design is further optimized by symmetrically fixing transition components 8 on both sides of the mounting frame 2. The transition components 8 are used to temporarily support the copper electrode 3 when the lifting rod 501 drives the copper electrode 3 to descend.

[0037] The transition components 8, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 2, provide temporary support for the copper electrodes 3 that are conveyed again after the receiving plate 502 descends, ensuring the continuity of the material conveying process. After the lifting rod 501 lowers the receiving plate 502 and the copper electrodes 3, and before the lifting rod 501 raises the receiving plate 502 back to the receiving position, the transition components 8 can temporarily support both ends of the continuously unloading copper electrodes 3, preventing interruption in the unloading process. The symmetrical layout ensures that the copper electrodes 3 are subjected to uniform force on both sides, further improving the support stability and preventing material displacement or surface scratches caused by uneven force on one side. This design, through the coordinated action of the transition components 8 and the lifting and conveying mechanism 5, achieves the continuity of copper electrode unloading, compensates for the support gaps that may occur during the lifting process, ensures that the material is always under control during the descent, effectively guarantees the continuity of copper electrode 3 transmission and production efficiency, and is especially suitable for the needs of high-speed, automated production lines for precise material transmission.

[0038] Further optimizing the scheme, the transition component 8 includes several telescopic rods 801, the outer ends of which are fixed to the connecting rod 802. The outer end of the connecting rod 802 is connected to the movable end of the horizontal telescopic rod 803, which is fixed to the mounting frame 2 via the mounting block 804. When the lifting rod 501 descends, the telescopic rod 801 extends between the two limiting plates 4, and retracts away from the two limiting plates 4 after the lifting rod 501 rises. The telescopic rod 801 is offset from the receiving plate 502 and the limiting plate 4.

[0039] The telescopic insert 801 of the transition component 8 is connected to the movable end of the horizontal telescopic rod 803 via the connecting rod 802. Driven by the horizontal telescopic rod 803, it achieves synchronous extension and retraction. Its function is to precisely match the movement rhythm of the lifting and conveying mechanism 5 through an adjustable temporary support structure: when the lifting rod 501 lowers the receiving plate 502, the horizontal telescopic rod 803 pushes the telescopic insert 801 to extend between the two limiting plates 4, temporarily replacing the receiving plate 502 in supporting the copper electrode 3 transferred from the cutting equipment during the vertical transport process of the receiving plate 502; when the receiving plate 502 rises and resets, the receiving plate 502 slightly lifts the copper electrode 3 held by the telescopic insert 801 during this period, and the telescopic insert 801 retracts away from the area of ​​the limiting plate 4, avoiding interference with the subsequent descent and transport of the copper electrode 3. The staggered telescopic insert 801 does not interfere with the receiving plate 502 and the limiting plate 4, ensuring spatial coordination between the various mechanisms, achieving the function of temporary support without affecting the normal transport path of the copper electrode 3. This design uses mechanical linkage to provide temporary support for the transition component 8 when the copper electrode 3 descends, making up for the support gap that may occur during the lifting and lowering of the support plate 502. This effectively ensures the continuity of the copper electrode 3 transmission and production efficiency, and is especially suitable for the needs of high-speed, automated production lines for precise material transmission.

[0040] The design is further optimized by attaching a slider 805 to the top of the telescopic rod 801 and a slide rail 806 to the bottom of the mounting bracket 2 corresponding to the telescopic rod 801.

[0041] A slider 805 is fixed to the top of the telescopic rod 801, and a corresponding slide rail 806 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting bracket 2. The cooperation between the slider 805 and the slide rail 806 forms a precise guiding mechanism, providing a stable linear motion trajectory for the horizontal movement of the telescopic rod 801. The slider 805 is nested on the slide rail 806, so that when the telescopic rod 801 is extended and retracted under the drive of the horizontal telescopic rod 803, it can slide smoothly along the direction of the slide rail 806, avoiding tilting, jamming or shaking of the telescopic rod 801 due to lateral force, and ensuring that the transition component 8 is accurately positioned and reliably supported when temporarily supporting the copper electrode 3. This design utilizes the rigid support of the slide rail 806 and the low-friction sliding characteristics of the slider 805 to significantly improve the smoothness and positioning accuracy of the telescopic rod 801. Especially in high-frequency telescopic movements, it can effectively reduce the risk of collision between the telescopic rod 801 and the limiting plate 4 and the receiving plate 502, ensuring the synchronicity and consistency of the temporary supports on both sides of the copper electrode 3 during descent. At the same time, the cooperation between the slider 805 and the slide rail 806 reduces frictional losses during mechanical transmission, extends the service life of the transition component 8, and reduces equipment maintenance costs.

[0042] The design has been further optimized by creating a T-slot inside the slider 805 and a T-shaped rail for the slide rail 806.

[0043] The vertical part of the T-shaped rail is embedded in the T-shaped groove of the slider 805, forming a "convex-concave interlocking" guide structure. This allows the slider 805 to slide freely along the rail direction, while effectively limiting the displacement of the slider 805 in the direction perpendicular to the rail. This prevents the telescopic rod 801 from shifting laterally or falling off during horizontal extension and retraction, ensuring that the transition component 8 maintains a stable support posture when temporarily supporting the copper electrode 3.

[0044] The design was further optimized by attaching a laser sensor 9 to the top of the mounting bracket 2.

[0045] The laser beam emitted by the laser sensor 9 can cover the input path of the copper electrode 3. When the elongated copper electrode 3 passes through the mounting bracket 2, the material blocks the laser signal, triggering the counting module to accurately record the quantity of each copper electrode 3, avoiding errors or omissions in manual counting. Combined with an automated control system, it can achieve a closed-loop linkage of "counting-transmission-collection." After reaching the set quantity, the lifting and conveying mechanism 5 is activated to lower the stacked copper electrodes 3, allowing multiple copper electrodes 3 to be conveyed at once, significantly improving the conveying efficiency and intelligence level of the production process. Furthermore, the laser sensor 9 has strong anti-interference capabilities, is unaffected by ambient light or reflections from the surface of the copper electrode 3, and can operate stably in complex industrial environments.
