Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cathode copper conveying equipment, specifically a cathode copper weighing and lifting conveying line. Background Technology

[0002] In the electrolytic copper production process, the automatic conveying and weighing of cathode copper is one of the key steps. Traditional cathode copper conveying lines typically use continuous conveying methods, which makes it difficult to achieve stable and accurate weighing operations during the conveying process. They are easily affected by factors such as vibration and impact, resulting in low weighing accuracy. In addition, in existing conveying systems, the transfer of cathode copper from the conveyor line to the weighing platform often requires machine shutdown or manual intervention, reducing production efficiency and presenting problems such as complex operation and low degree of automation. To solve these problems, some existing technologies have begun to introduce lifting structures, enabling the conveyor line to stably place the cathode copper on the weighing platform during weighing and to bring it back to the conveyor line for continued transport after weighing.

[0003] However, current lifting and conveying structures still have many shortcomings, such as inaccurate positioning and poor overall structural stability. These problems directly affect the reliability of equipment operation and weighing accuracy. At the same time, existing structures generally lack effective limiting mechanisms, which further exacerbates the risk of offset and swaying during the lifting process, reducing the safety and operational stability of the system. Therefore, a cathode copper weighing lifting and conveying line is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cathode copper weighing and lifting conveyor line to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cathode copper weighing and lifting conveyor line, comprising a conveying device and a weighing platform, wherein the weighing platform is independently disposed inside the conveying device, and the conveying device includes:

[0006] Conveyor station;

[0007] Two lifting mechanisms are respectively installed on both sides of the conveyor platform to control the lifting and lowering of the conveyor platform; and

[0008] Several limiting mechanisms are in contact with the conveyor platform. When the conveyor platform moves up and down, the limiting mechanisms restrict the direction of movement of the conveyor platform, so that it can only move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the two lifting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor platform, and both lifting mechanisms are connected to the conveyor platform through a connecting frame.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the number of limiting mechanisms is four, and the four limiting mechanisms are respectively located at the four corners of the conveyor table.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the limiting mechanism includes a bracket and several sets of rollers disposed on the bracket. The roller sets include a first roller and a second roller. The rims of the first roller and the rims of the second roller form a vertical angle and respectively maintain contact with the two end faces at the corners of the conveyor table.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a power motor, a tensioning mechanism and a conveying mechanism are respectively installed on the conveying platform, wherein the power motor is connected to the tensioning mechanism, the tensioning mechanism is connected to the conveying mechanism, and a drive gear is installed at the end of the power motor.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the tensioning mechanism includes a rotating shaft, both ends of which are rotatably connected to two fixed frames fixed on the conveyor table, and both ends of the rotating shaft are equipped with a first gear. The rotating shaft is also equipped with a second gear that is connected to the drive gear through a transmission chain. The two fixed frames are respectively located on the front and rear end faces of the conveyor table, and each fixed frame is equipped with a third gear and a fourth gear.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the conveying mechanism includes two sets of parallel transmission groups, each transmission group including a fifth gear disposed on both sides of the conveying table, the outer circumferential surfaces of the two fifth gears are meshed with a conveying chain, and the conveying chain is also meshed with the first gear, the third gear and the fourth gear respectively for transmission.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This application utilizes lifting mechanisms on both sides of the conveyor platform to raise or lower the entire platform. When the conveyor platform descends below the upper surface of the weighing platform, the cathode copper on the platform can remain stably on the weighing platform for accurate weighing. After weighing, the conveyor platform rises, causing the cathode copper to detach from the weighing platform for subsequent conveying operations. Furthermore, by setting multiple limiting mechanisms, not only is the stability of the conveyor platform improved during lifting, but it also ensures that it can only move vertically, effectively preventing deviation and swaying, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the equipment operation.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, the cathode copper weighing and lifting conveyor line includes a conveying device 1 and a weighing platform 2. The weighing platform 2 is independently disposed inside the conveying device 1. The conveying device 1 includes:

[0024] Conveyor station 11;

[0025] Two lifting mechanisms 12 are respectively installed on both sides of the conveyor platform 11 to control the lifting and lowering of the conveyor platform 11; and

[0026] Several limiting mechanisms 13 are in contact with the conveyor table 11. When the conveyor table 11 moves up and down, the limiting mechanisms 13 restrict the direction of movement of the conveyor table 11, so that it can only move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0027] Specifically, the conveyor platform 11 has a hollow cavity, within which a weighing platform 2 is installed. There is no contact between the weighing platform 2 and the conveyor platform 11, therefore the conveyor platform 11 is not affected by the weighing platform 2 during lifting. The lifting mechanism 12 is an electric hydraulic cylinder, and two lifting mechanisms 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor platform 11. The telescopic ends of both lifting mechanisms 12 are connected to the conveyor platform 11 via connecting frames 14. The connecting frames 14 are bolted to both the conveyor platform 11 and the telescopic ends of the lifting mechanisms 12. The synchronous lifting mechanism 12 ensures that the lifting mechanism 12 will not tilt to one side when driving the conveyor table 11 to lift, thus ensuring the stability of the conveyor table 11 during the lifting process. The number of limiting mechanisms 13 is not limited. In this embodiment, it is preferred that there are four limiting mechanisms 13, and the four limiting mechanisms 13 are located at the four corners of the conveyor table 11. The four limiting mechanisms 13 together form a cavity for the conveyor table 11 to be placed, thereby achieving a state of jointly clamping the conveyor table 11 to prevent the conveyor table 11 from deviating during operation.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, the lifting mechanisms 12 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor table 11 can ensure the stability of the lifting process while driving it to rise and fall. In addition, the four limiting mechanisms 13 can provide further constraints on the conveyor table 11 during the lifting process to prevent it from tilting to one side.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, preferably, the limiting mechanism 13 includes a bracket 131 and a plurality of roller groups 132 disposed on the bracket 131. The roller group 132 includes a first roller 1321 and a second roller 1322. The rim of the first roller 1321 and the rim of the second roller 1322 form a vertical angle and respectively maintain contact with the two end faces at the corners of the conveyor table 11. Furthermore, both the first roller 1321 and the second roller 1322 can rotate on their own and maintain contact with the conveyor table 11 through the first roller 1321 and the second roller 1322. While reducing friction with the conveyor table 11, it can also limit the conveyor table 11.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-2 In one embodiment, preferably, a power motor 15, a tensioning mechanism 16 and a conveying mechanism 17 are respectively installed on the conveying table 11, wherein the power motor 15 is connected to the tensioning mechanism 16, the tensioning mechanism 16 is connected to the conveying mechanism 17, and a drive gear 18 is installed at the end of the power motor 15.

[0031] Specifically, the power motor 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveyor table 11. When running, it drives the tensioning mechanism 16 through the drive gear 18. While the tensioning mechanism 16 is running, it drives the conveying mechanism 17 to run, thereby realizing that the cathode copper on the conveying mechanism 17 moves back and forth along the length of the conveying mechanism 17 to complete the conveying of the cathode copper and docking with the workstations located at both ends of it.

[0032] Please see Figure 2-3 In one embodiment, preferably, the tensioning mechanism 16 includes a rotating shaft 161, both ends of which are rotatably connected to two fixed frames 162 fixed on the conveyor table 11. Both ends of the rotating shaft 161 are equipped with a first gear 163. A second gear 165, which is connected to the drive gear 18 via a transmission chain 164, is also installed on the rotating shaft 161. The two fixed frames 162 are respectively located on the front and rear end faces of the conveyor table 11, and a third gear 166 and a fourth gear 167 are installed on each fixed frame 162.

[0033] Specifically, the rotating shaft 161 is installed inside the fixed frame 162, and a first gear 163 is provided on it; the second gear 165 is located between the two fixed frames 162, and it is in the same vertical plane as the drive gear 18, so that the drive gear 18 and the second gear 165 can be connected in series by the transmission chain 164; the third gear 166 and the fourth gear 167 are also installed inside the fixed frame 162, and the centers of the third gear 166, the fourth gear 167 and the first gear 163 are all located in the same vertical plane, so that the conveyor chain 1712 can smoothly pass around these three gears. When the conveyor chain 1712 passes around the third gear 166 and the fourth gear 167, it passes through the area between them, and when it passes around the first gear 163, it passes through its bottom.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, preferably, the conveying mechanism 17 includes two sets of parallel transmission groups 171. Each transmission group 171 includes a fifth gear 1711 disposed on both sides of the conveying table 11. The outer circumferential surfaces of the two fifth gears 1711 are meshed with a conveying chain 1712. The conveying chain 1712 is also meshed with a first gear 163, a third gear 166, and a fourth gear 167 respectively. Furthermore, the first gear 163 drives the conveying chain 1712 to rotate through meshing, and the rotation direction of the first gear 163 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying chain 1712. At the same time, the conveying chain 1712 also drives the third gear 166, the fourth gear 167, and the fifth gear 1711 to rotate synchronously, thereby ensuring the stability of the conveying chain 1712 during the cathode copper transmission process.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the cathode copper enters the conveyor line from one side of the conveyor line, the conveyor chain 1712 transports it to the top of the weighing platform 2 and stops running. At this time, there is no contact between the cathode copper and the weighing platform 2. Then, the lifting mechanisms 12 on both sides of the conveyor platform 11 are synchronously driven to drive the conveyor platform 11 to descend at a uniform speed, so that the cathode copper gradually comes into contact with the weighing platform 2. As the conveyor platform 11 continues to descend, the cathode copper finally sits completely on the weighing platform 2, thereby completing the accurate measurement of its weight through the weighing platform 2.

[0036] After weighing is completed, the lifting mechanism 12 starts to drive the conveyor platform 11 to rise. During the rising process, when the conveyor chain 1712 re-contacts the bottom of the cathode copper, it continues to rise until the cathode copper is completely separated from the weighing platform 2. At this time, the conveyor chain 1712 starts again and continues to transport the cathode copper to the workstation on the other side of the conveyor line, completing the entire conveying and weighing process.

[0037] Although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
