Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrolysis technology, specifically to a semi-automatic plate material handling device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolysis is an important process for producing metals, such as aluminum or manganese. In the manganese electrolysis section, the anode plates in the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell need to be removed after a period of use for cleaning, removing surface impurities, or maintaining the surface of the anode plates. Smaller anode plates can be lifted and removed from both ends of the diaphragm frame by one person, while larger anode plates require two people to lift them from both ends of the diaphragm frame. After cleaning, one or two people then manually place the anode plates back into the diaphragm frame one by one.

[0003] In view of the current situation where the anode plates are manually lifted and inserted, which relies on a large amount of labor and is slow in picking up and placing the anode plates, this utility model provides a semi-automatic plate picking device. Utility Model Content

The two E-shaped fixing frames are provided with at least one row of racks, and the tooth spacing of the racks is adapted to the width of the sheet material. Limiting plates are provided on the second opposite sides of the top plate. One end of the limiting plate is hinged to one of the E-shaped fixing frames on one side, and the limiting groove on the other end of the limiting plate is used to engage with the limiting post on the E-shaped fixing frame on the other side.

Limiting plates are provided along the short sides of the top plate, connecting and fixing the distance between the two E-shaped fixing frames. These plates are used to clamp the sheet material and remove it from the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell, or to release the sheet material into the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell.

[0021] Electrolysis is an important process for producing metals, such as aluminum or manganese. In the manganese electrolysis section, the anode plates in the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell need to be removed after a period of use for cleaning, removing surface impurities, or maintaining the surface of the anode plates. Currently, smaller anode plates can be lifted and removed from both ends of the diaphragm frame by one person, while larger anode plates require two people to lift them from both ends of the diaphragm frame. After cleaning, one or two people then manually place the anode plates back into the diaphragm frame one by one. This manual lifting and insertion of anode plates is labor-intensive and inefficient. Therefore, this invention provides a semi-automatic plate handling device.

[0022] This utility model provides a semi-automatic sheet material handling device, including a top plate 1. Two E-shaped fixing frames 2 are respectively hinged to the first opposite sides of the top plate 1. At least one row of racks 21 is provided on the two E-shaped fixing frames 2, and the tooth spacing of the racks 21 is adapted to the width of the sheet material. Limiting plates 3 are provided on the second opposite sides of the top plate 1. One end of the limiting plate 3 is hinged to one of the E-shaped fixing frames 2 on one side, and the limiting groove on the other end of the limiting plate 3 is used to engage with the limiting post on the E-shaped fixing frame 2 on the other side.

[0023] As mentioned above, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the semi-automatic sheet material handling device provided by this utility model includes a top plate 1 for docking with lifting equipment. E-shaped fixing frames 2 are hinged to one of the long sides of the top plate 1, with toothed grooves on the E-shaped fixing frames 2 corresponding one-to-one with the sheet material. Limiting plates 3 are provided along the short sides of the top plate 1, connecting and fixing the distance between the two E-shaped fixing frames 2, used to clamp the sheet material and remove it from the electrolytic cell diaphragm frame, or to release the sheet material within the electrolytic cell diaphragm frame. At least one row of toothed racks 21 on the E-shaped fixing frames 2 is used for combing and positioning the sheet material. Its semi-automatic feature is that it requires manual adjustment of the opening or release of the limiting plates 3, and the distance limited by the limiting plates 3 needs to be adjusted according to different sheet material thicknesses.

[0024] Overall, the semi-automatic plate handling device provided by this utility model reduces the manual operation of placing anode plates in the electrolysis process. At the same time, it can insert multiple anode plates into the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell, or remove multiple anode plates from the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell at the same time, which greatly improves the efficiency of anode plate handling.

[0025] Instructions for using this utility model:

[0026] ① Remove multiple anode plates from the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell:

[0027] Using a lifting device, connect the top plate 1 of the device and move it onto the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell. Align the toothed groove of the E-shaped fixing frame 2 with the anode plate and release it vertically downwards until the toothed groove of the E-shaped fixing frame 2 contacts the anode plate. Then, the operator rotates the limiting plate 3 and locks the limiting groove on the limiting plate 3 onto the limiting post on the opposite side of the E-shaped fixing frame 2, thus locking the anode plate. Then, control the lifting device to pull the top plate 1 upwards, so that multiple anode plates are pulled out from the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell.

[0028] ② Place multiple anode plates into the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell:

[0029] Similarly, the device holding the anode plate is moved onto the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell using a lifting tool. The gap between the anode plate and the diaphragm frame is aligned, and the device is released vertically downwards until the electrolytic portion of the anode plate is completely inside the diaphragm frame. The operator then separates the limiting plate 3 from the limiting post to release the anode plate. After placing the limiting plate 3, the lifting tool is used to move the device to another location, or to the location where the cleaned anode plate is taken, to grab other anode plates and continue inserting them into the diaphragm frame of the electrolytic cell.

[0030] It should be noted that, as mentioned above, the teeth on the rack 21 of the E-shaped fixing bracket 2 are rectangular or trapezoidal structures with rounded corners. This rounded corner design reduces wear on the surface of the anode plate by the E-shaped fixing bracket 2 and facilitates its insertion into the gap between the anode plates. Furthermore, the limiting plate 3 has multiple limiting grooves to accommodate the placement and removal of anode plates of various thicknesses. Because the spacing between adjacent anode plates differs for different thicknesses, the clamping force required to clamp multiple anode plates varies.

[0031] In some embodiments, a C-shaped tube 11 is screwed to the side of the aforementioned top plate 1, and the C-shaped tube 11 is used to connect the suspension rope. For example... Figure 3 As shown, multiple C-shaped tubes 11 are arranged around the top plate 1 to facilitate the installation of the suspension rope. At the same time, multiple C-shaped tubes 11 are arranged to evenly distribute the lifting force on the top plate 1, so as to prevent the device from tilting due to uneven pulling force on the top plate 1 during the movement, which would cause the anode plate to tilt and make it impossible to align when inserting and removing the anode plate.

[0032] In other embodiments, the semi-automatic sheet metal handling device provided by this utility model further includes a stretching cylinder, a connecting shaft 4, and a connecting block 5. One end of the connecting shaft 4 is connected to the stretching cylinder, and the other end of the connecting shaft 4 is hinged to the top plate 1. The stretching cylinder is connected to the connecting block 5, and the connecting block 5 is provided with a lifting ring. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a cylinder-driven telescopic support rod is provided on the top plate 1. The extension length of the extension cylinder in different directions and positions will affect the posture of the top plate 1. The extension cylinder facilitates automatic adjustment of the posture of the top plate 1, making it easy to level the top plate 1.

[0033] Alternatively, the aforementioned connecting block 5 can be configured to include an upper connecting block and a lower connecting block. The lifting ring is connected to the upper connecting block, and a bearing is nested within the upper connecting block. The bearing is connected to the lower connecting block via a connecting shaft 4, and a rotary motor drives the lower connecting block to rotate. This allows the entire device to be rotated using a rotary motor, facilitating the adjustment of the anode plate's position and enabling compatibility with placing or gripping anode plates in different directions, thus increasing the compatibility and practicality of the material handling device.

[0034] It should also be noted that this utility model can also be used to pick up and place other sheet metal parts, that is, it can be applied to other processes. As long as the process of simultaneously and semi-automatically controlling the picking up and placing of multiple sheet metal parts can be achieved by using this utility model, it is within the protection scope of this utility model. The above embodiments are only used as examples of picking up and placing anode plates.

[0035] Finally, this utility model provides a semi-automatic plate material handling device, including a top plate 1. Two E-shaped fixing frames 2 are hinged to the first opposite sides of the top plate 1. Each E-shaped fixing frame 2 has at least one row of racks 21, the tooth spacing of which is adapted to the width of the plate material. Limiting plates 3 are provided on the second opposite sides of the top plate 1. One end of each limiting plate 3 is hinged to one of the E-shaped fixing frames 2 on one side, and a limiting groove on the other end of the limiting plate 3 is used to engage with a limiting post on the E-shaped fixing frame 2 on the other side. This utility model reduces the manual operation of anode plates in the electrolysis process and allows multiple anode plates to be inserted into or removed from the electrolytic cell diaphragm frame, greatly improving the efficiency of anode plate handling.
