Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of equipment for cobalt electrowinning production, specifically to a cathode plate stacking rack. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolytic cobalt deposition is a method for extracting metallic cobalt from cobalt-containing solutions through electrolysis, and is an important component of hydrometallurgy. Electrolytic cobalt deposition is widely used in the refining and purification of cobalt, and is particularly suitable for recovering cobalt from byproducts of nickel and copper smelting processes or from leaching solutions of low-grade cobalt ore. After electrolysis, the cathode plate needs to be removed, and the deposited cobalt sheets need to be peeled off. For example, Chinese Patent 201820648465.1 discloses a zinc electrolysis cathode plate placement rack, which includes a first vertical plate, a second vertical plate, a support plate, multiple first support members, and multiple second support members. The first and second vertical plates are spaced apart.

[0003] In the aforementioned existing technology, after electrolysis, the traditional placement method involves directly stacking the cathode plates on a tray. This not only makes them prone to scattering and difficult to organize and transport, but also requires manual separation of each plate before placing them into the cleaning tank for subsequent cleaning if cleaning is required. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a cathode plate stacking rack to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the plates are not only easy to scatter and not conducive to neatness and transportation, but also require manual separation of each plate before being placed into the cleaning tank if subsequent cleaning is required.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a cathode plate stacking rack, comprising:

[0007] A shelf with a suspension section that runs through both sides, for inserting and suspending cathode plates sequentially from one side of the suspension section;

[0008] A blocking frame, movably connected to the shelf, is movable along the direction in which the cathode plates are suspended; and

[0009] The separating frame includes a separating component and multiple paddles. The separating component is movably connected to the blocking frame and has movable ends that correspond one-to-one with the paddles. It is used to follow the movement of the blocking frame and drive the paddles to separate or retract the cathode plates.

[0010] In some embodiments, the suspension includes support rails and a lifting assembly. One end of the two support rails is hinged to one side of the top of the shelf, and the lifting assembly is mounted on the other side of the top of the shelf. Its movable end abuts against the bottom of the support rails, drives the support rails to rise and fall, and has the ability to lift the support rails to an inclined loading position and lower the support rails to a horizontal dispersing position.

[0011] In some embodiments, the suspension part further includes a telescopic rod, which is parallel to the support rail and fixedly connected to the shelf, and the blocking frame is connected to the shelf via the telescopic rod.

[0012] In some embodiments, the telescopic rod includes a fixed rod and a telescopic cylinder, the telescopic cylinder being slidably connected to the outside of the fixed rod, the telescopic cylinder being connected to the blocking frame, and the fixed rod being connected to the shelf.

[0013] In some embodiments, a limiting component is further provided between the blocking frame and the shelf, the limiting component being used to restrict the movement of the blocking frame relative to the shelf.

[0014] In some embodiments, the limiting component includes a limiting rod that is rotatably connected to the side of the shelf corresponding to the blocking frame.

[0015] In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly includes a telescopic rail, sliders, and chains. A plurality of sliders are connected one-to-one with the paddles and are all slidably connected to the telescopic rail. The chains are connected one-to-one between adjacent sliders. The sliders at both ends are fixedly connected to the two ends of the telescopic rail, respectively. The shelf and the blocking frame are respectively provided with guide grooves. The two ends of the telescopic rail are slidably connected to the guide grooves on the blocking frame and the shelf, respectively. The guide grooves guide the telescopic rail to move radially along the cathode plate suspension arrangement direction and restrict the two ends of the telescopic rail to move along the cathode plate suspension arrangement direction, so that the paddles have a first position state inserted into the gap between the cathode plates and a second position state disengaged from the gap between the cathode plates.

[0016] In some embodiments, the telescopic rail includes an inner rail and an outer rail, with the outer rail slidably connected to the outside of the inner rail.

[0017] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly includes a screw and a handwheel. The mounting bracket has threaded holes that correspond one-to-one with the support rails. The handwheel is connected to the bottom end of the screw. The screw is threadedly connected to the threaded holes, and its top end abuts against the bottom of the support rail.

[0018] In some embodiments, the bottom of the shelf is provided with a tray base.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the cathode plate stacking rack provided by this utility model supports and suspends the cathode plates through the suspension part on the shelf. With the cooperation of the blocking frame and the separating frame, it can neatly and centrally store the cathode plates, which is convenient for subsequent transportation. Furthermore, the sliding of the blocking frame can drive the separating frame to disperse the cathode plates, so that there is sufficient gap between each cathode plate, which is convenient for cleaning.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0034] To address the technical problems of cathode plates easily scattering, hindering organization and transportation, and requiring manual separation before cleaning, this invention provides a cathode plate stacking rack. This rack supports and suspends the cathode plates via a suspension section. With the cooperation of a blocking frame and a separating frame, the cathode plates are neatly and centrally stored, facilitating subsequent transportation. Furthermore, the sliding of the blocking frame can cause the separating frame to disperse the cathode plates, creating sufficient gaps between them for easy cleaning.

[0035] It should be noted that the cathode plate stacking rack described in this utility model is used for, but not limited to, cathode plates. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the application of the cathode plate stacking rack to electrolytic cobalt cathode plates as an example. The principle of the cathode plate stacking rack applied to other types of equipment is essentially the same as that applied to electrolytic cobalt cathode plates, and will not be elaborated here.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a cathode plate stacking rack, which includes a shelf 1, a blocking frame 2, and a separating frame 3. The shelf 1 has a suspension part 11 that extends through both sides. The through-hole on one side is used to insert cathode plates into the suspension part 11 for suspension, allowing the cathode plates to be inserted and suspended sequentially from one side of the suspension part 11. The through-hole on the other side of the suspension part 11 is used to move the cathode plates outward from the suspension part 11 when they need to be spread out. The blocking frame 2 is movably connected to the shelf 1 and can move along the direction of the cathode plate suspension arrangement. When the cathode plates are stacked vertically in a concentrated manner on the suspension part 11, it can block the cathode plates on the other side. The through-hole is blocked to prevent the cathode plate from coming out from that side, so that the cathode plate can only enter the suspension part from the through-hole on one side; the separating frame 3 includes a separating component 31 and a plurality of paddles 32. The separating component 31 is movably connected to the blocking frame 2 and has movable ends that are connected to the paddles 32 one by one and can move. It is used to follow the movement of the blocking frame 2 and drive the paddles 32 to separate or retract the cathode plate. When the paddles 32 move, they push the cathode plate to move, spreading the cathode plate apart. After spreading apart, they can be pushed back to retract the cathode plate. The spread-out state is used for cleaning, and the retracted state is used for storage and subsequent transportation.

[0037] It should be noted that the shelf 1, at the through point where the cathode plate is inserted, can also be rotatably fitted with a lockable baffle. After the cathode plate is fully placed, this baffle is used to prevent the cathode plate from coming out of the notch, thus improving safety.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 To provide basic suspension functionality for the cathode plates and facilitate automatic vertical suspension of the cathode plates, ensuring they are close together, the suspension unit 11 includes support rails 111 and a lifting assembly 112. One end of each of the two support rails 111 is hinged to the top side of the shelf 1. The lifting assembly 112 is installed on the other side of the top of the shelf 1, with its movable end abutting against the bottom of the support rails 111, driving the support rails 111 to rise and fall. It has the ability to lift the support rails 111 to an inclined loading position and lower the support rails 111 to a horizontal distribution position. When the lifting assembly 112 lifts the support rails 111 to an inclined position, it forms a guide for sliding down from the inlet to the other side. When the cathode plates are manually hung on the support rails 111, they automatically slide down along the inclination, thus automatically aligning the cathode plates and suspending and abutting them.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the cathode plates are at the same suspension height and do not have a height difference during the suspension operation and subsequent dispersal operation, the suspension part 11 also includes a telescopic rod 113. The telescopic rod 113 is parallel to the support rail 111 and is fixedly connected to the shelf 1. The blocking frame 2 is connected to the shelf 1 through the telescopic rod 113, that is, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 113 is connected to the blocking frame 2. When the support rail 111 is lowered to the horizontal, the plane of the top of the telescopic rod 113 that contacts the cathode plate is at the same height as the support rail 111 and both abut against the cathode plate.

[0040] Furthermore, the telescopic rod 113 includes a fixed rod 113a and a telescopic cylinder 113b. The telescopic cylinder 113b is slidably connected to the outside of the fixed rod 113a. The telescopic cylinder 113b is connected to the blocking frame 2, and the fixed rod 113a is connected to the shelf 1. The telescopic cylinder 113b is used to extend and retract, serving as a support for the cathode plate extending beyond the suspension part 11.

[0041] Understandably, the cathode plates in the area are supported by the support rail 111 in the suspension part 11, and after the telescopic cylinder 113b extends beyond the suspension part 11, some of the cathode plates also move into the area. These cathode plates outside the suspension part 11 are suspended on the telescopic cylinder 113b.

[0042] It should be noted that the support rail 111 is mainly used for suspending and supporting the cathode plate of the suspension part 11, and has the function of rotating and adjusting the tilt angle. Its main function is to improve the convenience of neatly storing the cathode plate. The telescopic rod 113 provides support for the cathode plate that moves away from the suspension part 11 after telescopic extension. In the retracted state, it does not occupy space, and in the extended state, it can be used as an extension of the support rail 111 to support the cathode plate.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 To prevent the blocking frame 2 from shifting when blocking the cathode plate, a limiting component 4 is provided between the blocking frame 2 and the shelf 1. The limiting component 4 is used to restrict the movement of the blocking frame 2 relative to the shelf 1.

[0044] Specifically, the limiting component 4 includes a limiting rod 41, which is rotatably connected to the side of the shelf 1 corresponding to the blocking frame 2. The limiting rod 41 has a blocking position that rotates to the side that prevents the blocking frame 2 from displacing relative to the shelf 1, and a releasing position that rotates away from the side that prevents the blocking frame 2 from displacing relative to the shelf 1.

[0045] Understandably, the limiting component 4 can also adopt conventional structures with limiting functions such as buckles and locks to achieve the limiting function.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 To enable the shifting assembly 31 to move the paddle 32 when the blocking bracket 2 is pulled, the shifting assembly 31 includes a telescopic rail 311, sliders 312, and chains 313. Several sliders 312 are connected one-to-one with the paddles 32 and are all slidably connected to the telescopic rail 311. Movement of a slider 312 causes the paddle 32 to move synchronously. The chains 313 are connected one-to-one between adjacent sliders 312, providing a pulling force. The sliders 312 at both ends are fixedly connected to the two ends of the telescopic rail 311. The support frame 1 and the blocking frame 2 are respectively provided with guide grooves 101. The two ends of the telescopic rail 311 are slidably connected within the guide grooves 101 on the blocking frame 2 and the support frame 1, respectively. The guide grooves 101 guide the telescopic rail 311 to move radially along the cathode plate suspension arrangement direction and restrict the movement of the two ends of the telescopic rail 311 along the cathode plate suspension arrangement direction, so that the lever 32 has a first position state inserted into the gap between the cathode plates and a second position state disengaged from the gap between the cathode plates. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The guide groove 101 is L-shaped and has a limit to prevent the telescopic rail 311 from moving along the sliding direction of the blocking frame 2. Therefore, when the blocking frame 2 moves, it can drive the telescopic rail 311 to extend or retract. When the telescopic rail 311 extends or retracts, it can pull the end slider 312 to move. When the end slider 312 moves, it can pull the chain 313 to sequentially drive the adjacent sliders 312 to move, thus driving the lever 32 to push the cathode plate. Additionally, please refer to... Figure 3To avoid interference from the sliding of the cathode plate suspended on the support rail 111 by the paddle 32, the guide groove 101 allows the entire telescopic rail 311 to slide back and forth, detach from the cathode plate suspension area, and be inserted into the gap between the cathode plates when dispersion is required.

[0047] For further details, please refer to Figure 5 In order to ensure that the sliders 312 are at the same height when the telescopic rail 311 extends or retracts, the telescopic rail 311 includes an inner rail 311a and an outer rail 311b. The outer rail 311b is slidably connected to the outside of the inner rail 311a. The top surfaces of the inner rail 311a and the outer rail 311b that contact the sliders 312 are at the same height. The cross-section of the inner rail 311a is convex, and the cross-section of the outer rail 311b is concave.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 To facilitate the lifting and lowering operation of the support rail 111, the lifting assembly 112 includes a screw 112a and a handwheel 112b. The support frame 1 has threaded holes corresponding to the support rails 111. The handwheel 112b is connected to the bottom end of the screw 112a. The screw 112a is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and its top end abuts against the bottom of the support rail 111. By rotating the handwheel 112b, the screw 112a is driven to rotate and lift, thereby pushing the support rail 111 to rotate and adjusting the tilt angle.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The bottom of the shelf 1 is provided with a pallet seat 12, which facilitates movement by forklift.

[0050] It should be noted that the telescopic rod 113, telescopic rail 311, and slider 312 in the above embodiments, which have relatively sliding parts, are all lubricated to ensure smooth sliding.

[0051] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 7 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: Before use, the support rail 111 is adjusted to the required tilt angle by the lifting component 112. The cathode plates 5 are then suspended and stacked on the suspension part along the support rail 111. When it is necessary to disperse the cathode plates, the support rail 111 is lowered to the horizontal position, and the separating frame 3 is moved so that the separating piece 32 is inserted into the gap between the cathode plates. Then, the limiting component 4 is released, the blocking frame 2 is pulled, which drives the telescopic rail 311 and the telescopic rod 113 to extend and retract, and drives the sliders 312 and the chain 313 to work together, so that the separating piece 32 pushes the cathode plates to disperse. If it is necessary to reassemble the cathode plates, the blocking frame 2 is pushed back to the initial position, and then the limiting component 4 is used to limit the cathode plates.

[0052] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
