Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of starter plate processing devices, specifically to an intermittent whipping plate removal device for electrolytic cobalt starter plate seed plates. 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 an intermittent whipping stripping device for electrolytic cobalt seed plates, in order to solve the practical problems of low stripping efficiency, high labor intensity and occupational disease risks in the existing manual stripping process.

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

[0007] An intermittent whip-whip removal device for cobalt electrowinning seed plates includes a centering clamping mechanism, a whip-whip frame mounted on a connecting beam 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 intermittent whip-whip removal device further includes:

[0008] The whip-spinning rod sensing mechanism consists of a proximity switch and a proximity switch adjusting plate. The proximity switch is installed on the semi-circular slot of the proximity switch adjusting plate. The proximity switch can adjust its sensing position within the semi-circular slot of the proximity switch adjusting plate to locate the whip-spinning angle.

[0009] The whip-pushing mechanism consists of a motor base, a speed-regulating motor, and a whip-pushing blade. The motor base is installed on the side of the connecting crossbeam, the speed-regulating motor is installed on the motor base, and the whip-pushing blade has three blades, namely the first blade, the second blade, and the third blade. The whip-pushing blade is installed on the output shaft of the speed-regulating motor through a bushing. The speed-regulating motor rotates to drive the whip-pushing blade to move counterclockwise. The first blade pushes the whip-pushing rod forward until the third blade approaches the proximity switch, at which point the motor stops, and the whip-pushing angle reaches its maximum value.

[0010] The whip-spinning mechanism consists of a whip-spinning rod, a torsion spring, a torsion sleeve, a tension spring fixing plate, and a whip. The whip-spinning rod is installed at the end of the whip-spinning mechanism and is driven to rotate counterclockwise by the thrust of the whip blade. 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 tension spring fixing plate is installed at the tail of the whip-spinning mechanism and is used to install the movable end of the tension spring. It is driven to rotate clockwise by the rebound force of the tension spring.

[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 fixed end of the tension spring. There are three tension springs installed, and a torsion fixing seat for installing the fixed end of the torsion spring is installed at the bottom.

[0012] Furthermore, the proximity switch can be adjusted in the semi-circular slot of the proximity switch adjustment plate to determine the opening angle of the whip.

[0013] Furthermore, the motor base is installed on the side of the connecting crossbeam, the speed-regulating motor is installed on the motor base, and the push whip blade has three blades, namely the first blade, the second blade, and the third blade. The push whip blade is installed on the output shaft of the speed-regulating motor through a bushing. The rotation of the speed-regulating motor drives the push whip blade to move counterclockwise. The first blade pushes the whip rod forward until the third blade approaches the proximity switch and the motor stops. At this time, the whip opening angle reaches its maximum value.

[0014] Furthermore, the whip-swinging rod is installed at the end of the whip-swinging mechanism. Under the thrust of the whip blade, it drives the whip to rotate counterclockwise. The torsion spring is installed inside the torsion sleeve, with the top movable end of the torsion spring connected to the torsion sleeve and the bottom fixed end connected to the torsion fixing seat. The tension spring fixing plate is installed at the tail of the whip-swinging mechanism and is used to install the movable end of the tension spring. Under the rebound force of the tension spring, it drives the whip to rebound clockwise. The whip is the main body of the whip-swinging mechanism and is made of spring steel. It performs the whip-swinging action under the combined elastic force of the torsion spring and the tension spring.

[0015] Furthermore, there are two sets of intermittent 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 so that their actions do not interfere with each other. The speed-regulating motor can adjust the rotation speed and is equipped with a braking device to ensure that it brakes and positions itself immediately after sensing and positioning.

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

[0017] This invention uses a speed-regulating motor to drive the whip blades to move counterclockwise. The first blade pushes the whip rod forward until the third blade approaches the proximity switch, at which point the motor stops and brakes. At this time, the tension spring is stretched and the torsion spring is torsion, increasing the elastic potential energy and allowing the whip to open to its maximum angle. The springs are powerfully charged, and no manual operation is required, effectively reducing labor intensity and risk.

[0018] After the centering clamping mechanism completes the centering clamping and fixing of the cobalt starter plate, the speed-regulating motor releases the brake and drives the pusher blade to continue moving counterclockwise. The whip rod disengages from the first blade, and the whip mechanism quickly resets clockwise under the combined elastic force of the tension spring and the torsion spring. 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, enabling continuous rotation and multiple double-sided whip-scraping operations to ensure a high success rate. The automatic continuous double-sided whip-scraping operation replaces the manual single-sided whip-scraping process, reducing labor intensity and improving the efficiency of plate removal and peeling.

[0029] 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.

[0030] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 1-8 As shown, an intermittent whip-whipping plate removal device for cobalt electrode seed plates includes a centering clamping mechanism 15, a whip-whipping frame mounted on a connecting beam 16 at the top of the centering clamping mechanism 15 and below it, and 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 on the upper part of the centering clamping mechanism 15. The intermittent whip-whipping plate removal device further includes:

[0031] The intermittent whip-spinning release device mainly includes a whip-pushing blade sensing mechanism, a whip-pushing mechanism, and a whip-spinning mechanism. The whip-pushing blade sensing mechanism includes a proximity switch 1 and a proximity switch adjusting plate 2. The proximity switch 1 is installed on the semi-circular slot of the proximity switch adjusting plate 2, and its sensing position can be adjusted within the semi-circular slot to position the whip-spinning opening angle. The whip-pushing mechanism includes a motor base 6, a speed-regulating motor 7, and a whip-pushing blade 8. The motor base 6 is installed on the side of the connecting beam 16, and the speed-regulating motor 7 is installed on the motor base 6. The whip-pushing blade 8 has three blades: a first blade 17, a second blade 18, and a third blade 19. The whip-pushing blade 8 is mounted on the output shaft of the speed-regulating motor 7 via a bushing. The rotation of the speed-regulating motor 7 drives the whip-pushing blade 8 to move counterclockwise. The first blade 17 pushes the whip-spinning rod 9 forward until the third blade 19 approaches the proximity switch 1, at which point the motor stops. When the whip opens to its maximum angle, the whip mechanism includes a whip top rod 9, a torsion spring 10, a torsion sleeve 11, a tension spring fixing plate 5, and a whip 13. The whip top rod 9 is installed at the end of the whip mechanism and is driven by the thrust of the whip blade 8 to rotate the whip 13 counterclockwise. The torsion spring 10 is installed inside the torsion sleeve 11, and the top movable end of the torsion spring 10 is connected to the torsion sleeve 11, and the bottom fixed end is connected to the torsion fixing seat 12. The tension spring fixing plate 5 is installed at the tail of the whip mechanism and is used to install the movable end of the tension spring 4. It is driven by the rebound force of the tension spring 4 to make the whip 13 rebound clockwise. 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 whipping action. The whip strikes the electrolytic cobalt starter plate 14, causing the electrolytic cobalt starter plate adsorbed on it to fall off.

[0032] Combination Figure 1-5 As shown, the whip-spinning frame is installed on the top connecting beam 16 of the centering clamping mechanism 15 and the whip-spinning frame below it. The centering clamping mechanism 15 has 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 on its upper part.

[0033] The whip-spinning rod sensing mechanism includes a proximity switch 1 and a proximity switch adjusting plate 2. The proximity switch 1 can be adjusted in the semi-circular slot of the proximity switch adjusting plate 2 to locate the opening angle of the whip.

[0034] At this time, the whip-pushing mechanism includes a motor base 6, a speed-regulating motor 7, and a whip-pushing blade 8. The motor base 6 is installed on the side of the connecting beam 16, the speed-regulating motor 7 is installed on the motor base 6, and the whip-pushing blade 8 has three blades, namely the first blade 17, the second blade 18, and the third blade 19. The whip-pushing blade 8 is installed on the output shaft of the speed-regulating motor 7 through a bushing. The speed-regulating motor 7 rotates to drive the whip-pushing blade 8 to move counterclockwise. The first blade 17 pushes the whip-pushing rod 9 forward until the third blade 19 approaches the proximity switch 1 and the motor stops. At this time, the whip-pushing opening angle reaches its maximum value.

[0035] Combination Figure 6-8 As shown, the whip-swinging mechanism includes a whip-swinging rod 9, a torsion spring 10, a torsion sleeve 11, a tension spring fixing plate 5, and a whip 13. The whip-swinging rod 9 is installed at the end of the whip-swinging mechanism and is driven by the thrust of the whip blade 8 to rotate the whip 13 counterclockwise. The torsion spring 10 is installed inside the torsion sleeve 11, and the top movable end of the torsion spring 10 is connected to the torsion sleeve 11, while the bottom fixed end is connected to the torsion fixing seat 12. The tension spring fixing plate 5 is installed at the tail of the whip-swinging mechanism and is used to install the movable end of the tension spring 4. It is driven by the rebound force of the tension spring 4 to make the whip 13 rebound clockwise. 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 strikes the electrolytic cobalt starter plate 14, causing the electrolytic cobalt starter plate adsorbed on it to fall off.

[0036] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, there are two sets of intermittent whip-spinning release devices, which are rotationally symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the centering clamping mechanism 15, and the two sets of devices are diagonally distributed. Their actions do not interfere with each other. The speed-regulating motor 7 can adjust the rotation speed and has a braking device. After the whip-spinning sensor is in place, it brakes and positions itself immediately.

[0037] 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:

[0038] First, the speed-regulating motor 7 drives the pusher blade 8 to move counterclockwise. The first blade 17 pushes the whip rod 9 forward until the third blade 19 approaches the proximity switch 1, at which point the motor stops and brakes. At this time, the tension spring 4 is stretched and the torsion spring 10 is torsion, the elastic potential energy is enhanced, and the opening angle of the whip 13 reaches its maximum value. After the left and right whip mechanisms open at the same time, the middle space is left for placing the electrolytic cobalt starter plate 14.

[0039] 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.

[0040] After the clamping mechanism completes the centering and clamping of the cobalt starter plate, the speed regulating motor 7 releases the brake and drives the pusher blade 8 to continue moving counterclockwise. The whip rod 9 is released from the restraint of the first blade 17. Under the combined elastic force of the tension spring 4 and the torsion spring 10, the whip mechanism quickly resets clockwise. The whip 13 strikes the cobalt starter plate on the surface of the cobalt starter plate 14, causing it to tilt.

[0041] 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 rotation and multiple double-sided whip-spinning peeling tasks to ensure a high peeling success rate.

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] 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.
