Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straightening machine technology, specifically a straightening machine for conductive rods of stainless steel cathode plates. Background Technology
[0002] Given the current situation regarding the impact of bending deformation of stainless steel cathode plate conductive rods on the electrolysis system, as well as the inconsistent standards for manual straightening and repair, high labor intensity and low efficiency, long repair cycles and high costs, it is of great significance to develop a high-efficiency and operable special device for straightening bending of stainless steel cathode plate conductive rods to improve work efficiency and reduce labor intensity and costs.
[0003] In existing stainless steel cathode plate conductive rod bending and straightening machines, the conductive rod is first fixed to the worktable by the limiting components of the straightening machine. Then, the PLC controller starts the equipment, which drives the straightening pressure head to move to the position where the conductive rod needs to be straightened. The pressure head then contacts the conductive rod body and straightens the conductive rod through pressure. The pressure head is mostly fixed to the hydraulic equipment with bolts. Since the conductive rods to be straightened may have different models and diameters, when processing different models of conductive rods at the same time, it is necessary to frequently change the model of the pressure head to adapt to different models of conductive rods. However, frequent pressure head changes will increase the workload, make the operation more cumbersome, and reduce the work efficiency. Moreover, when the pressure head contacts the conductive rod, if the center point of the pressure head and the center point of the conductive rod are not on the same vertical axis, the straightening pressure of the conductive rod cannot be in the optimal state. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a straightening machine for conductive rods of stainless steel cathode plates, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a straightening machine for conductive rods of stainless steel cathode plates, comprising a conductive rod body and a straightening pressure head disposed above the conductive rod body, and further comprising: An adjustment assembly for adapting to different types of conductive rods is set at the bottom of the straightening pressure head. The adjustment assembly includes a pressure rod set below the straightening pressure head. A cavity 1 is formed in the inner wall of the pressure rod. A medium pressure block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 1. An elastic element 1 is fixed between the medium pressure block and the pressure rod in a mirror image. Two cavities 2 are formed in a mirror image in the inner wall of the medium pressure block. An elastic element 2 is fixed to the inner wall of each of the two cavities 2. An extension block is fixed to one end of the elastic element 2.
[0006] Preferably, an anti-collision pad is provided between the intermediate pressure block and the extension block, and the anti-collision pad is fixed to the outside of the intermediate pressure block.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the intermediate pressure block is provided with a mounting hole, and a pressure sensor is installed on the inner wall of the mounting hole by bolts. A contact block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the pressure sensor.
[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with a placement hole, and a spring is inserted into the placement hole and fixed to one side of the contact block.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting post is fixed to the bottom end of the straightening pressure head, and an insertion hole is provided on the inner wall of the connecting post. An insertion rod is inserted into the insertion hole and the insertion rod is fixed to the top of the pressure rod.
[0010] Preferably, the inner walls of both the connecting column and the insert are provided with threaded holes, and the inner walls of the threaded holes are threaded with screws.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention utilizes a pressing rod. When the pressing rod presses down on the conductive rod body, if the center points of the pressing rod and the conductive rod body are not on the same vertical axis, the misalignment between the pressing rod and the conductive rod body can be corrected by the flexible extension and retraction of the first elastic element during the pressing process. This ensures that the center points of the pressing rod and the conductive rod body are on the vertical axis, thereby maximizing the pressing pressure. Furthermore, when the pressing rod moves downward, if it encounters a conductive rod with a larger diameter, the extension block will be affected by the downward pressure of the pressing rod and move outward until the extension blocks on both sides expand and match the conductive rod. At the same time, the extension blocks are affected by the elastic force of the second elastic element, which clamps and positions the conductive rod. By adaptively adjusting the clamping width of the conductive rod, it can adapt to different models of conductive rods, thereby saving the time of frequently changing the pressing head and improving work efficiency.

[0014] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0015] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, a straightening machine for conductive rods of stainless steel cathode plates includes a conductive rod body 1 and a straightening pressure head 2 disposed above the conductive rod body 1. It also includes an adjustment component 3 disposed at the bottom of the straightening pressure head 2 for adaptive use with conductive rods of different models. The adjustment component 3 includes a pressure rod 31 disposed below the straightening pressure head 2. A cavity 32 is formed in the inner wall of the pressure rod 31. A middle pressure block 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 32. An elastic element 34 is fixed between the middle pressure block 33 and the pressure rod 31. Two cavities 35 are formed in the inner wall of the middle pressure block 33. An elastic element 36 is fixed to the inner wall of each of the two cavities 35. An extension block 37 is fixed to one end of the elastic element 36. An anti-collision pad 38 is disposed between the middle pressure block 33 and the extension block 37. The anti-collision pad 38 is fixed to the outside of the middle pressure block 33.
[0016] The conductive rod body 1 is fixed on the processing platform of the straightening machine by a positioning component. The straightening pressure head 2 straightens the bent parts of the conductive rod body 1 by pressing down through the hydraulic system of the straightening machine. The positioning method of the conductive rod body 1 and the working principle of the straightening pressure head 2 have been disclosed in "A Straightening Machine for Conductive Rods for Stainless Steel Cathode Plates" with application number "CN201921742660.1", and will not be described in detail here. By setting the adjustment component 3, the straightening process can be performed on conductive rod bodies 1 of different models and diameters, without frequent straightening. Replacing the pressure rod 31 installed at the bottom of the straightening pressure head 2 saves time and improves work efficiency. A cavity 32 is created inside the pressure rod 31 to facilitate the left-right movement of the intermediate pressure block 33 within it. During movement, the intermediate pressure block 33 is limited by four elastic elements 34 inside the cavity 32. The four elastic elements 34 are mirror-fixed to the left and right sides of the intermediate pressure block 33, with two on each side. When the pressure rod 31 is pressed down and contacts the conductive rod body 1, if the center points of the pressure rod 31 and the conductive rod body 1 are not on the same vertical axis, the pressure rod 31... While pressing down, the flexible extension and retraction of the elastic element 34 corrects the misalignment between the pressure rod 31 and the conductive rod body 1, allowing the intermediate pressure block 33 to move and adjust within the pressure rod 31. This improves the flexibility of the intermediate pressure block 33 when matching the conductive rod body 1 during downward pressure. By creating two mirror-image cavities 35 inside the intermediate pressure block 33, and fixing two elastic elements 36 in each cavity 35, the extension block 37 is connected to the elastic element 36. When the pressure rod 31 moves down, if it encounters a conductive rod with a larger diameter, the extension block 37 will be subjected to... Under the influence of the downward pressure of the pressure rod 31, it moves outward until the extension blocks 37 on both sides expand and match the conductive rod. At the same time, the extension blocks 37 are also affected by the elastic force of the elastic element 36, which clamps and positions the conductive rod. By setting the anti-collision pad 38 between the middle pressure block 33 and the extension block 37, after the pressure rod 31 moves upward, the extension block 37 will be reset by the elastic force. At the moment of reset, it will hit the middle pressure block 33. The anti-collision pad 38 can effectively reduce the instantaneous impact force and avoid damage to the middle pressure block 33 and the extension block 37 due to long-term impact.
[0017] The bottom of the intermediate pressure block 33 has a mounting hole 4. A pressure sensor 5 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting hole 4 by bolts. A contact block 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the pressure sensor 5. A placement hole 7 is opened on the inner wall of the mounting hole 4. A spring 8 is inserted into the placement hole 7 and fixed to one side of the contact block 6. A connecting post 9 is fixed to the bottom end of the straightening pressure head 2. An insertion hole 10 is opened on the inner wall of the connecting post 9. An insertion rod 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 10 and fixed to the top of the pressure rod 31. Threaded holes 12 are opened on the inner walls of both the connecting post 9 and the insertion rod 11. A screw 13 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole 12.
[0018] By opening a mounting hole 4 at the bottom of the intermediate pressure block 33, the pressure sensor 5 can be installed inside the mounting hole 4 by bolts, which is easy to disassemble. The pressure sensor 5 directly detects the contact pressure between the straightening pressure head 2 and the conductive rod body 1. Combined with a PLC or servo system, the pressure is dynamically adjusted to ensure that the pressure is stable within the safe range of the material's yield limit, avoiding excessive pressure that could lead to surface cracks, indentations, or cross-sectional deformation. The working principle of the pressure sensor 5 is to convert physical pressure (such as the force of liquids or gases) into a measurable electrical signal. The core is to sense pressure changes through a sensitive element and then convert them into an electrical signal output through a conversion element. A sliding contact block 6 is set inside the pressure sensor 5. The pressure rod 31 can make contact with the conductive rod body 1 in advance when it is pressed down. The contact block 6 squeezes the extension and retraction of the spring 8, which can effectively reduce the impact force at the moment the pressure rod 31 is pressed down and contacts the conductive rod body 1. This can avoid damage to the pressure rod 31 due to long-term impact. The spring 8 can be placed by setting the placement hole 7. The pressure rod 31 can be easily assembled and disassembled and replaced by fixing the connecting column 9 at the bottom of the straightening pressure head 2. The insertion hole 10 is opened in the connecting column 9, and the insertion rod 11 is fixed at the top of the pressure rod 31. When the pressure rod 31 is assembled with the connecting column 9, the insertion rod 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 10, and then screwed into the threaded hole 12 by the screw 13 to assemble and fix the pressure rod 31 with the connecting column 9.
[0019] Working principle: When assembling the pressure rod 31 with the connecting post 9 at the bottom of the straightening pressure head 2, the worker first inserts the insertion rod 11 at the top of the pressure rod 31 into the insertion hole 10 of the connecting post 9, and then screws the screw 13 into the threaded hole 12 to assemble and fix the pressure rod 31 and the connecting post 9. The conductive rod body 1 to be processed is placed on the worktable of the straightening machine for limiting and fixing. After the PLC controller starts the equipment and drives the straightening pressure head 2 to move to the position where the conductive rod body 1 needs to be straightened, the pressure rod 31 is pressed down. The pressure rod 31 presses down and contacts the conductive rod body 1. The center of the pressure rod 31 and the conductive rod body 1 are... When the points are not on the same vertical axis, the misalignment between the pressure rod 31 and the conductive rod body 1 can be corrected by the flexible extension and retraction of the elastic element 34 while the pressure rod 31 is pressed down. This allows the middle pressure block 33 to move and adjust inside the pressure rod 31. When the pressure rod 31 moves down, if it encounters a conductive rod with a larger diameter, the extension block 37 will be affected by the downward pressure of the pressure rod 31 and move outward until the extension blocks 37 on both sides expand and match the conductive rod. At the same time, the extension blocks 37 are affected by the elastic force of the elastic element 36 to clamp and position the conductive rod. Finally, the straightening process of the conductive rod body 1 is completed.
