Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic copper technology, specifically a novel electrolytic cathode plate. Background Technology

[0002] With the surge in demand for copper from new energy vehicles, clean energy and power infrastructure, copper smelting companies are accelerating the upgrading of their equipment. There is an urgent need for new types of cathode plates with higher mechanical strength, excellent resistance to deformation, longer service life and better conductivity (such as using stainless steel or titanium composite materials to replace traditional copper starting plates) to improve current efficiency, reduce residual electrode rate, reduce maintenance costs and meet the needs of automated operation.

[0003] Existing technology, such as the patent publication number "CN207079286U", discloses a manual stripping device for processing difficult-to-strip copper from permanent stainless steel cathodes. This patent belongs to the field of hydrometallurgy and specifically relates to a manual stripping device for processing difficult-to-strip copper from permanent stainless steel cathodes. It includes an integral steel frame, a hydraulic piston cylinder, a hydraulic station, a stripping operating surface, a robotic arm, and a stripping blade. The integral steel frame is welded from I-beams and channel steel. The hydraulic piston cylinder and hydraulic station are hydraulic auxiliary equipment. The stripping operating surface is formed by connecting and welding a steel plate and the main steel frame into a whole. The steel plate size matches the cathode plate size and is made of welded steel round and square tubes. The stripping blade is made of wood or plastic, and its size must match the square tube insertion tube of the robotic arm. The blade angle is 30-45°. This patent can efficiently separate difficult-to-strip copper from permanent stainless steel cathode plates. The device has good stability, is safe to operate, and does not cause secondary damage to the cathode plate during stripping, ensuring the perpendicularity and flatness of the plate surface. This device can be applied on a large scale industrially.

[0004] However, current manual stripping devices for removing copper from permanent stainless steel cathodes have the following problems: they can only process copper removal from a single cathode plate at a time, and cannot process copper removal from multiple cathode plates simultaneously. Furthermore, the copper removal process is complex and costly, making it inconvenient for daily production. To address these issues, we propose a novel electrolytic cathode plate. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of slow copper stripping from multiple cathode plates and to provide a new type of electrolytic cathode plate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

A conductive lug is welded to the outer wall of the cathode plate body, and a conductive rod is provided at the top of the conductive lug. A copper puller is provided at the top of the outer wall of the cathode plate body. The copper puller consists of two copper puller clips, a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring. The two copper puller clips are provided on the outer wall of the top of the cathode plate body. The rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer copper puller clips, and the torsion spring is provided on the inner wall of the two copper puller clips.

[0008] Preferably, the conductive ear and conductive rod are made of copper-clad steel, and the cathode plate body and copper-removing device are made of titanium, stainless steel or Hastelloy. The copper-removing clip has a thickness of one to three millimeters, and the copper-removing clip is attached to the outer wall of the cathode plate body. The rotating part of the copper-removing clip is rotatably installed on the top of the cathode plate body.

[0009] Preferably, the copper puller further comprises a spoon-shaped groove, a limiting block, a C-shaped slide rod, a pull ring, a semi-circular block, a limiting groove, a connecting block, and a limiting rod. The spoon-shaped groove is formed on the top outer wall of the copper puller clip. The limiting block passes through and is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the conductive rod. The C-shaped slide rod passes through and is slidably installed on the outer top of the limiting block. The pull ring is fixedly installed on the top of the C-shaped slide rod. The semi-circular block is fixedly installed on the opposite inner wall of the C-shaped slide rod. The limiting groove is formed on the side wall of the copper puller clip. The connecting block is fixedly installed on the opposite inner wall of the bottom end of the C-shaped slide rod. The limiting rod is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the connecting block.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the semi-arc block sliding spoon-shaped groove is provided with four limiting rods as a group, and each group of limiting rods is slidably installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0011] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a novel electrolytic cathode plate. Its beneficial effects are: This utility model achieves rapid copper strip removal by applying inward pressure to the top of the copper clamping clip, simplifying the stripping operation. Furthermore, the pull ring design, combined with the addition of tubing, allows for rapid stripping of copper strips from multiple cathode plate bodies.

[0018] 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. Example

[0019] A new type of electrolytic cathode plate, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the cathode plate body 1 is included. A conductive lug 11 is welded to the outer wall of the cathode plate body 1. A conductive rod 12 is provided at the top of the conductive lug 11. A copper puller 2 is provided at the top of the outer wall of the cathode plate body 1. The copper puller 2 consists of two copper puller clips 21, a rotating shaft 22 and a torsion spring 23. The two copper puller clips 21 are provided on the outer wall of the top of the cathode plate body 1. The rotating shaft 22 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer copper puller clip 21. The torsion spring 23 is provided on the inner wall of the two copper puller clips 21.

[0020] The conductive ear 11 and conductive rod 12 are made of copper-clad steel. The cathode plate body 1 and copper lifting device 2 are made of titanium, 316L stainless steel or Hastelloy. The thickness of the copper lifting clip 21 is one to three millimeters. The copper lifting clip 21 is attached to the outer wall of the cathode plate body 1. The rotating part of the copper lifting clip 21 is rotatably installed on the top of the cathode plate body 1.

[0021] The copper-lifting device 2 also comprises a spoon-shaped groove 24, a limiting block 25, a C-shaped slide rod 26, a pull ring 27, a semi-circular block 28, a limiting groove 29, a connecting block 210, and a limiting rod 211. The spoon-shaped groove 24 is formed on the top outer wall of the copper-lifting clamp 21. The limiting block 25 is inserted through and fixedly installed on the outer wall of the conductive rod 12. The C-shaped slide rod 26 is inserted through and slidably installed on the outer top of the limiting block 25. The pull ring 27 is fixedly installed on the top of the C-shaped slide rod 26. The semi-circular block 28 is fixedly installed on the opposite inner wall of the C-shaped slide rod 26. The limiting groove 29 is formed on the side wall of the copper-lifting clamp 21. The connecting block 210 is fixedly installed on the opposite inner wall of the bottom end of the C-shaped slide rod 26. The limiting rod 211 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the connecting block 210.

[0022] The inner wall of the semi-circular block 28 slides the spoon-shaped groove 24. The four limiting rods 211 are grouped together, and each group of limiting rods 211 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 29.

[0023] In use, the novel electrolytic cathode plate of this utility model is placed in an electrolytic cell via conductive lugs 11 and conductive rods 12 for electrolysis. The copper sheets produced by electrolysis adhere to the inner wall of the copper-removing clip 21. When it is necessary to peel off the copper sheets on the cathode plate body 1, the tube is passed through the pull ring 27 and then the pull ring 27 is pulled upward. The pull ring 27 drives the C-shaped slide rod 26 to move upward. The C-shaped slide rod 26 drives the connecting block 210 to move upward. The connecting block 210 drives the limiting rod 211 to slide upward to the top of the limiting groove 29 of the copper-removing clip 21 and then stops. Simultaneously, the C-shaped slide bar 26 drives the semi-circular block 28 to move upward in the spoon-shaped groove 24 of the copper-lifting clip 21. When the arc surface of the semi-circular block 28 contacts the inner wall of the spoon-shaped groove 24, the top of the copper-lifting clip 21 is subjected to inward pressure. The bottom ends of the two copper-lifting clips 21 will then open outward with the pivot 22 as the center, causing the copper sheet to move away from its contact with the cathode plate body 1. At this time, the copper sheet will be easily peeled off from the cathode plate body 1. After the copper sheet is peeled off, the C-shaped slide bar 26 is pushed back downward. The C-shaped slide bar 26 drives the semi-circular block 28 back to the arc surface of the spoon-shaped groove 24, and the copper-lifting clip is removed. 21, in conjunction with the rebound force of the torsion spring 23, automatically adheres to the cathode plate body 1, facilitating continued production. By setting the copper clamp 21, applying inward pressure to its top can achieve the effect of quickly peeling off the copper sheet, simplifying the peeling operation. Furthermore, by setting the pull ring 27, in conjunction with the addition of the tubing, the copper sheets on multiple sets of cathode plate bodies 1 can be quickly peeled off. This not only significantly reduces the labor intensity of workers and the risk of contact with hazardous electrolytes, but also improves the peeling efficiency from single peeling to peeling off multiple sets of cathode plate bodies 1, greatly enhancing production convenience and efficiency.
