Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of starter plate processing devices, specifically to a pneumatic device for whipping and removing the seed plate of an electrolytic cobalt starter plate. Background Technology

[0002] Electrodeionized cobalt starter sheets are thin plates made of metallic cobalt (Co) or cobalt-based alloys. They are produced by electrowinning with cobalt compound solutions such as cobalt sulfate or cobalt chloride. Attached to a seed plate, they are the front-end product in cobalt electrowinning production. Cobalt plates play an irreplaceable role in many industrial fields due to their unique physicochemical properties, such as high melting point, corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and magnetism. Similarly, electrodeionized cobalt starter sheets also possess these properties. However, due to their high hardness, large surface roughness, thinness, and attachment to the seed plate, it is difficult to peel off them using automated equipment under atmospheric pressure.

[0003] Currently, the peeling process for electrolytic cobalt starter wafers mainly relies on manual peeling. The main process is as follows: Workers lift the electrolytic cobalt starter wafer seed plate out of the electrolytic cell and place it on a fiberglass mesh plate. Two workers hold the electrolytic cobalt starter wafer seed plate, while one worker uses a whip or a scraper to scrape the electrolytic cobalt starter wafer on its surface. After prying off the top corner of the electrolytic cobalt starter wafer, the electrolytic cobalt starter wafers located on both sides of the seed plate are manually torn off.

[0004] The drawbacks of this stripping process are that although it can successfully strip the electrolytic cobalt starter sheet, it is labor-intensive for workers, there is a risk of acid mist from the anolyte damaging the human respiratory tract when working on the electrolytic cell, and the work efficiency is low, the stripping time is long, and manual stripping is prone to damaging the electrolytic cobalt starter sheet. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pneumatic device for removing cobalt electrode seed plates by whipping, in order to solve the practical problems of low removal efficiency, high labor intensity and occupational disease risk in the existing manual plate removal and stripping process.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A pneumatic device for removing cobalt electrolytic capacitor seed plates using a whip-like mechanism includes a centering clamping mechanism, a whip-like frame mounted on a connecting crossbeam at the top of the centering clamping mechanism and below it, a tension spring fixing column for mounting the fixing end of a tension spring, and a torsion fixing seat for mounting the fixing end of a torsion spring on the upper part of the centering clamping mechanism, and the pneumatic device for removing the whip-like mechanism also includes:

[0008] The whip-spinning mechanism consists of a push cylinder frame and a push cylinder. The push cylinder extends and pushes the whip-spinning top box on the whip-spinning mechanism to move forward and stop after reaching the predetermined whip-spinning angle.

[0009] The whip-spinning locking mechanism consists of a locking cylinder, a proximity switch, and a locking cylinder seat. The locking cylinder is installed below the locking cylinder seat. The locking cylinder extends to lock the whip and retracts to release the whip.

[0010] The whip-swinging mechanism consists of a whip-swinging positioning sensor plate, a torsion spring, a torsion sleeve, a whip-swinging top box, and a whip. The whip-swinging positioning sensor plate is installed at the end of the whip-swinging mechanism to trigger a proximity switch. The torsion spring is installed inside the torsion sleeve, with its top movable end connected to the torsion sleeve and its bottom fixed end connected to the torsion fixing seat. The whip-swinging top box is installed at the tail of the whip-swinging mechanism and achieves the whip-swinging torsion function by installing the movable end of the tension spring and receiving the thrust of the push cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the whip-whipping machine frame is installed below the top connecting crossbeam of the centering clamping mechanism, and is equipped with a tension spring fixing column for installing the tension spring fixing end, and three tension springs are installed, as well as a torsion fixing seat for installing the torsion spring fixing end.

[0012] Furthermore, the push cylinder extends, pushing the whip top box on the whip-spinning mechanism forward to reach the predetermined whip-spinning angle. After the whip-spinning locking mechanism completes the locking action, the push cylinder retracts, realizing the whip-spinning preparation and positioning action.

[0013] Furthermore, a locking cylinder is installed below the locking cylinder seat. The extension of the locking cylinder locks the whip, and the retraction of the locking cylinder releases the whip. The proximity switch is installed at the end position after the whip is in place, and is used to sense the ready position status of the whip positioning sensor plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the whip-swinging induction plate is installed at the end of the whip-swinging mechanism to trigger the proximity switch. The torsion spring is installed inside the torsion sleeve, with the top movable end connected to the torsion sleeve and the bottom fixed end connected to the torsion fixed seat. The whip-swinging top box is installed at the tail of the whip-swinging mechanism to install the movable end of the tension spring and to receive the thrust of the push cylinder to realize the whip-swinging torsion function. There are three tension springs installed. The whip is the main body of the whip-swinging mechanism and is made of spring steel. Under the combined elastic force of the torsion spring and the tension spring, it performs the whip-swinging action. The whip strikes the electrolytic cobalt starter plate, causing the electrolytic cobalt starter plate adsorbed on it to fall off.

[0015] Furthermore, there are two sets of pneumatic whip-spinning release devices, which are rotationally symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the centering clamping mechanism, and the two sets of devices are diagonally distributed, with their installation and mechanism movements complementing each other.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention uses a push cylinder to extend and push the whip top box on the whip mechanism to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the tension spring is stretched and the torsion spring is twisted, increasing the elastic potential energy. When the rotation reaches 95 degrees, the whip positioning sensor plate approaches and triggers the proximity switch. The locking cylinder immediately extends to restrict the end of the whip mechanism so that it cannot rebound. The push cylinder then retracts, allowing space for the end of the whip mechanism to rebound. The spring has strong stored force and requires no manual operation, effectively reducing labor intensity and risk.

[0018] After the centering clamping mechanism completes the centering clamping and fixing of the cobalt starter plate, the locking cylinder retracts to release the restriction on the end of the whip mechanism. Under the combined elastic force of the tension spring and the torsion spring, the whip mechanism quickly resets clockwise. The whip strikes the cobalt starter plate on the surface of the cobalt starter plate, causing it to tilt. The mechanism automatically connects to the previous process without manual intervention, making it convenient and practical to operate.

[0019] This invention can automatically adjust the number of whip-scraping operations according to the incoming material of the cobalt electrode seed plate, and can realize continuous double-sided whip-scraping operations to ensure the success rate of plate scraping. The automatic continuous double-sided whip-scraping operation replaces the manual single-sided whip-scraping process, reduces labor intensity, and improves plate scraping efficiency.

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0028] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 1-6 As shown, a pneumatic device for removing a cobalt electrode seed plate by whipping includes a whipping frame installed below the top connecting beam 16 of the centering clamping mechanism 15. The frame is equipped with a tension spring fixing column 3 for mounting the fixed end of a tension spring 4 and a torsion fixing seat 12 for mounting the fixed end of a torsion spring 10. The pneumatic device for removing the whip also includes:

[0029] The pneumatic device for releasing the whip mainly includes a whip ejection mechanism, a whip locking mechanism, and a whip mechanism. The whip ejection mechanism includes a push cylinder frame 1 and a push cylinder 2. The push cylinder 2 extends, pushing the whip top box 5 on the whip mechanism forward until it reaches a predetermined whip angle, thus completing the whip preparation and positioning action. The whip locking mechanism includes a locking cylinder 6, a proximity switch 7, and a locking cylinder seat 8. The locking cylinder 6 is installed below the locking cylinder seat 8. The extension of the locking cylinder 6 locks the whip 13, and its retraction releases the whip 13. The proximity switch 7 is installed at the end position of the whip 13 after it is in place, used to sense the preparation and positioning status of the whip positioning sensor plate 9. The whip mechanism includes the whip positioning sensor plate 9. The torsion spring 10, torsion sleeve 11, whip top box 5, and whip 13 are installed at the end of the whip mechanism. The whip positioning sensor plate 9 is used to trigger the proximity switch 7. The torsion spring 10 is installed inside the torsion sleeve 11, with the top movable end connected to the torsion sleeve 11 and the bottom fixed end connected to the torsion fixing seat 12. The whip top box 5 is installed at the tail of the whip mechanism and is used to install the movable end of the tension spring 4 and to receive the thrust of the push cylinder 2 to realize the whip torsion function. The whip 13 is the main body of the whip mechanism and is made of spring steel. Under the combined elastic force of the torsion spring 10 and the tension spring 4, it performs the whip-swing action. The whip strikes the electrolytic cobalt starter plate 14, causing the electrolytic cobalt starter plate adsorbed on it to fall off.

[0030] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, the whip-whipping machine frame is installed below the top connecting beam 16 of the centering clamping mechanism 15, and is equipped with a tension spring fixing column 3 for installing the fixed end of the tension spring 4 and a torsion fixing seat 12 for installing the fixed end of the torsion spring 10.

[0031] The whip-spinning mechanism includes a push cylinder frame 1 and a push cylinder 2. The push cylinder 2 extends to push the whip-spinning top box 5 on the whip-spinning mechanism forward to reach the predetermined whip-spinning angle. After the whip-spinning locking mechanism completes the locking action, the push cylinder 2 retracts to realize the whip-spinning preparation and positioning action.

[0032] At this time, the whip-spinning locking mechanism includes a locking cylinder 6, a proximity switch 7, and a locking cylinder seat 8. The locking cylinder 6 is installed below the locking cylinder seat 8. The extension of the locking cylinder 6 locks the whip 13, and the retraction of the locking cylinder 6 releases the whip 13. The proximity switch 7 is installed at the end position after the whip 13 is in place, and is used to sense the ready position status of the whip positioning sensor plate 9.

[0033] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the whip-swinging mechanism includes a whip-swinging positioning sensor plate 9, a torsion spring 10, a torsion sleeve 11, a whip-swinging top box 5, and a whip 13. The whip-swinging positioning sensor plate 9 is installed at the end of the whip-swinging mechanism and is used to trigger the proximity switch 7. The torsion spring 10 is installed inside the torsion sleeve 11, with its top movable end connected to the torsion sleeve 11 and its bottom fixed end connected to the torsion fixing seat 12. The whip-swinging top box 5 is installed at the tail of the whip-swinging mechanism and is used to install the movable end of the tension spring 4 and to receive the thrust of the push cylinder 2 to realize the whip-swinging torsion function. There are three tension springs 4 installed. The whip 13 is the main body of the whip-swinging mechanism and is made of spring steel. Under the combined elastic force of the torsion spring 10 and the tension spring 4, it performs a whip-swinging action, which whips the electrolytic cobalt starter plate 14, causing the electrolytic cobalt starter plate adsorbed on it to fall off.

[0034] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two sets of pneumatic whip-spinning devices, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the centering clamping mechanism 15. The two sets of devices are diagonally distributed, and their installation and whipping actions do not interfere with each other.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this solution by those skilled in the art, the working principle of this solution will now be briefly explained in conjunction with specific application scenarios:

[0036] First, the push cylinder 2 extends to push the whip top box 5 on the whip mechanism to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the tension spring 4 is stretched and the torsion spring 10 is torsion, and the elastic potential energy is enhanced. When it rotates to 95 degrees, the whip positioning sensor plate 9 approaches and triggers the proximity switch 7. The locking cylinder 6 immediately extends to restrict the end of the whip mechanism so that it cannot rebound. The push cylinder 2 then retracts, making room for the end of the whip mechanism to rebound. After the two whip mechanisms on the left and right open at the same time, the middle space is left for placing the electrolytic cobalt starter plate 14.

[0037] The robotic arm picks up the cobalt electrolytic starter plate 14 and places it on the centering clamping mechanism 15. The centering clamping mechanism 15 clamps the cobalt electrolytic starter plate 14 in the center and supports the cobalt electrolytic starter plate.

[0038] After the clamping mechanism completes the centering and clamping of the cobalt starter plate, the locking cylinder 6 retracts to release the restriction on the end of the whip mechanism. Under the combined elastic force of the tension spring 4 and the torsion spring 10, the whip mechanism quickly resets clockwise. The whip strikes the cobalt starter plate on the surface of the cobalt starter plate 14, causing it to warp.

[0039] The whip-spinning mechanism can automatically adjust the number of whip-spinning peeling operations according to the incoming material conditions of the cobalt electrolytic starter plate 14, enabling continuous double-sided whip-spinning peeling tasks and ensuring a high success rate for peeling.

[0040] The peeling robot, along with the suction cup assembly on the clamp, moves forward to the surface of the electrolytic cobalt starter sheet. The suction cup attracts the electrolytic cobalt starter sheet and opens outward at a 15-degree angle. The mechanical gripper flips forward to clamp the inner side of the electrolytic cobalt starter sheet. After the peeling robot moves outward to peel off the electrolytic cobalt starter sheet, it is placed on the conveyor line.

[0041] In summary, this application replaces the manual process of whipping the electrolytic cobalt seed plate 14 from one side to remove it, improving work efficiency, shortening the stripping time, increasing the stripping success rate, and effectively reducing the intensity and risk of manual labor.

[0042] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
