Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anode plate shaping technology, specifically to an anode plate pressure shaping machine. Background Technology

[0002] The shaping process of copper anode plates generally involves using a press to shape the copper anode plates that have been fed to the press station. After shaping, the copper anode plates can meet the designed size standards. The shaping process is essential in the entire process of copper anode plate production. After the shaping process, the shape accuracy and surface quality of the copper anode plates can be improved; the structural density can be enhanced; the electrolytic performance can be improved; and production efficiency and cost can be optimized.

[0003] When using a press to shape copper anode plates, the copper anode plates are transported to the press station via a conveyor. However, some copper anode plates may shift, causing them to collide and jam during the lifting phase. This can eventually lead to the breakage of the press's support arm rotating shaft. The fracture occurs at the connection between the swing arm and the support seat. When replacing the anode plates, the entire support seat needs to be disassembled and replaced, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and inconvenient for maintenance.

The copper electrolytic anode plate shaping unit includes a plate receiving device, a plate receiving chain conveyor, a vertical straightening mechanism, a weighing mechanism, a sloping conveyor mechanism, a stepping device, a horizontal press, a milling device, a flipping mechanism, a plate stacking chain conveyor, and a waste plate removal device. When the horizontal press of this unit is used to shape copper anode plates, it is inconvenient to inspect and replace the rotating shaft of the press's support arm.

[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] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 An anode plate pressure shaping machine includes a shaping mechanism 1, a lifting module 2, and a conveying unit 4. The shaping mechanism 1 has a gap 11. The conveying unit 4 is used to convey the anode plate along the gap 11. The lifting module 2 includes a lifting component 21, a rotating shaft 22, and a first drive unit 23. The shaping mechanism 1 is provided with a fixing component 3. The rotating shaft 22 is horizontally arranged and rotatably connected to the fixing component 3. The lifting component 21 is connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 22. The first drive unit 23 is connected to the lifting component 21 and is used to drive the rotating shaft. 22 rotates in the fixing member 3, causing the lifting member 21 to swing towards the gap 11, lifting the anode plate located in the gap 11. The fixing member 3 includes a first half 31 and a second half 32. The first half 31 is disposed on the shaping mechanism 1, and the second half 32 is detachably connected to the first half 31. The first half 31 is provided with a first groove 311, and the second half 32 is provided with a second groove 321. The first groove 311 and the second groove 321 are combined to form a connecting part 33 for the rotating shaft 22 to be rotatably connected.

[0028] In practical applications, the anode plate is conveyed to the shaping mechanism 1 via the conveying unit 4 for shaping. It should be noted that the shaping part of the shaping mechanism 1 in this embodiment can refer to the pressure plate device in Chinese patent document (CN118403924A). When the anode plate is conveyed to the correct position, it is lifted by the lifting member 21 for shaping. Specifically, during the lifting process, the lifting member 21 is driven by the first driving unit 23 to swing towards the gap 11, thereby lifting the anode plate located within the gap 11 for easier shaping. When the first driving unit 23 drives the lifting member 21 to swing, the lifting member 21 will drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate. Furthermore, because the rotating shaft 22 is restricted by the connecting part 33, the lifting member 21... The lifting member 21 swings around the axis of the rotating shaft 22, thereby lifting the anode plate. During the lifting process, when the conveying unit 4 transports the anode plate into the gap 11, but there is a deviation from the normal shaping station, the lifting will cause interference, which will lead to the rotating shaft 22 being subjected to greater stress and breaking. At this time, the operator can disassemble the second half 32 to directly replace the rotating shaft 22, avoiding the use of the broken rotating shaft 22 for lifting work, which poses an unsafe factor. On the other hand, if the operator needs to repair the rotating shaft 22, the second half 32 can also be directly disassembled for repair work. The first half 31 and the second half 32 make it convenient for the operator to repair or replace the rotating shaft 22.

[0029] Preferably, there are two fixing members 3. The rotating shaft 22 includes a first shaft body 223 and a second shaft body 224. The first shaft body 223 is connected to both ends of the second shaft body 224. The diameter of the first shaft body 223 is smaller than the diameter of the second shaft body 224. The first shaft body 223 is connected in the connecting part 33, and the second shaft body 224 is located between the two fixing members 3.

[0030] Through the above design, the two fixing parts 3 respectively fix the first shaft body 223 of the rotating shaft 22, which can improve the stability of the rotating shaft 22. In this embodiment, a bushing is also provided between the second shaft body 224 and the fixing part 3. In this way, the rotating shaft 22 can be better connected to the connecting part 33, which is beneficial for the lifting part 21 to swing around the axis of the rotating shaft 22 when driven by the first driving unit 23. There will be no deviation during the lifting process, which can better protect the rotating shaft 22.

[0031] Preferably, there are two first grooves 311 and two second grooves 321, and the first grooves 311 and two second grooves 321 arranged opposite to each other on the two fixing members 3 form the connecting part 33. There are two rotating shafts 22, namely the first rotating shaft 221 and the second rotating shaft 222.

[0032] The lifting component 21 includes a first connecting block 211 connected to both ends of the first rotating shaft 221, a second connecting block 212 connected to both ends of the second rotating shaft 222, and symmetrically arranged lifting blocks 213. The first connecting block 211 and the second connecting block 212 at the corresponding ends of the first rotating shaft 221 and the second rotating shaft 222 are both hinged to the lifting blocks 213. One end of the first driving unit 23 is hinged to the second connecting block 212, and the other end is hinged to the shaping mechanism 1. The first driving unit 23 is used to drive the second connecting block 212 to swing so as to drive the lifting blocks 213 to swing in the direction of the gap 11 and lift the anode plate located in the gap 11.

[0033] In the above design, the two rotating shafts 22 can better distribute the pressure, and the first connecting block 211 and the second connecting block 212 can make the swing of the lifting member 21 more stable when the first driving unit 23 drives it to swing. Specifically, when the first driving unit 23 drives the second connecting block 212 to move, due to the hinge, the second connecting block 212 will swing, and the second connecting block 212 will drive the lifting block 213 to swing, and the lifting block 213 will drive the first connecting block 211 to swing. During the swing, under the action of the two rotating shafts 22, the first connecting block 211 and the second connecting block 212 will swing around the axis of the rotating shaft 22, which can limit the swing of the lifting block 213 towards the gap 11, thereby lifting the anode plate. On the other hand, the symmetrically arranged lifting blocks 213 can lift the ears at both ends of the anode plate, thereby lifting the anode plate more stably.

[0034] Preferably, the first drive unit 23 is a symmetrically arranged hydraulic cylinder, and the shaping mechanism 1 is provided with symmetrically arranged support blocks. The support blocks are located at both ends of the shaping mechanism 1. The support blocks are hinged to the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder, and the power output part of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the second connecting block 212.

[0035] In this embodiment, the support block can prevent the hydraulic cylinder from moving, and the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the support block, which can also better drive the second connecting block 212 to swing. The hydraulic cylinder in this embodiment can be replaced by a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, but the hydraulic cylinder can withstand a larger load and is more stable and safer than a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0036] Preferably, the top of the lifting block 213 is provided with a first platform 2131 and a second platform 2132, the height of the first platform 2131 is higher than that of the second platform 2132, and the first platform 2131 and the second platform 2132 form a lifting part 6 for lifting the anode plate.

[0037] In the above design, the lifting part 6 can lift the anode plate. During the lifting process, the second platform 2132 will contact the ear of the anode plate. On the other hand, since the lifting member 21 lifts the anode plate in a swinging manner, during the process of contacting and lifting the anode plate, the lifting member 21 will drive the anode plate to be lifted in the swinging direction. The anode plate may move in the swinging direction of the lifting block 213 due to inertia. At this time, the first platform 2131 can limit the distance of movement of the anode plate, thereby lifting the anode plate more stably.

[0038] Preferably, the conveying unit 4 includes a chain conveyor 41 and guide rails 42 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the chain conveyor 41. The chain conveyor 41 passes through the gap 11. Rolling wheels 43 are provided on both sides of the chain of the chain conveyor 41. The rolling wheels 43 are tumblingly connected to the guide rails 42. The top of the chain conveyor 41 is provided with symmetrically arranged fixing blocks 44. The symmetrically arranged fixing blocks 44 form a placement part 7 for placing the anode plate. The symmetrically arranged fixing blocks 44 are used to drive the anode plate to move along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor 41.

[0039] In this embodiment, the chain conveyor 41 can withstand a large load and provides a more stable operation through the guide rail 42 and the roller 43. The anode plate can be placed in the placement part 7, and the anode plate on the placement part 7 can be moved in the conveying direction of the chain conveyor 41, so that it can be moved to the shaping station and lifted by the lifting member 21 for the shaping process. Specifically, the fixing block 44 fixes the bottom of the anode plate. In this embodiment, the fixing block 44 has a stepped structure, which can prevent the anode plate from shifting in the conveying direction and can better fix the anode plate for conveying.

[0040] Preferably, it also includes symmetrically arranged limiting rods 5, which are connected to the ground and located at both ends of the shaping mechanism 1. The limiting rods 5 are used to prevent the anode plate from tipping over.

[0041] Through the above design, the limiting rod 5 can prevent the anode plate from tipping over and causing a safety accident in the event of an accident. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the limiting rod 5 is connected to the ground. Preferably, the limiting rod 5 can be connected to the fixed part of the chain conveyor 41, so that the spacing of the limiting rod 5 can be better controlled, and the anode plate can be contacted and prevented from tipping over in a shorter time when it tipps over.

[0042] Preferably, the first half 31 is provided with a first fixing hole 312, and the second half 32 is provided with a second fixing hole 322 arranged opposite to the first fixing hole 312. The first fixing hole 312 and the second fixing hole 322 are connected by an external screw to fix the first half 31 and the second half 32.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first half 31 and the second half 32 can be connected together by screws to the first fixing hole 312 and the second fixing hole 322. When disassembly is required, the screws can be removed to remove the second half 32 from the first half 31, and the rotating shaft 22 can be inspected or replaced.

[0044] Preferably, the second half 32 is provided with an oil filling port 323 that communicates with the second groove 321.

[0045] In this embodiment, the operator can add lubricating oil through the filler port 323 to avoid mechanical wear between the rotating shaft 22 and the connecting part 33. The operator can add lubricating oil through the filler port 323 periodically, and the lubricating oil will then cover the rotating shaft 22, the first groove 311 and the second groove 321, which is beneficial to protect the rotating shaft 22.
