Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nickel electrolysis technology, specifically to a sorting and collecting device for cathode conductive rods used in generator sets. Background Technology
[0002] In the electrolytic nickel production process, an electrolytic nickel loading and unloading unit is used for the loading and unloading operations. The original electrolytic nickel loading and unloading unit has the following defects in the cathode conductive rod extraction and collection process: The original cathode conductive rod collection device collects 6 cathode conductive rods at a time. During collection, the clamp height is fixed; when the clamp is opened from above, the cathode conductive rods fall freely, generating noise exceeding 105dB upon impact with the cathode conductive rod collection rack. Dust is also generated during the impact, polluting the working environment. After free fall, the cathode conductive rods are stacked haphazardly, easily jamming moving parts and causing frequent personnel intervention, posing a significant safety hazard. Furthermore, the haphazard stacking of cathode conductive rods within the collection rack makes operation difficult for the upstream starter sheet processing unit, affecting the overall production line efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the design defects in the cathode conductive rod extraction and collection process of the original nickel-plated charging unit mentioned above, this utility model provides a sorting and collection device for cathode conductive rods of the unit.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A sorting and collecting device for cathode conductive rods used in generator sets includes a frame beam fixed to a transfer trolley. A frame is fixed at the bottom of the frame beam, and an SC80×800 cylinder is installed inside the frame. The telescopic end of the SC80×800 cylinder is connected to a clamp beam via a floating joint. A guide frame is fixed at the top of the clamp beam and is slidably connected to the frame. TCM50×80 three-axis cylinders are symmetrically installed at both ends of the clamp beam, and the telescopic end of the TCM50×80 three-axis cylinder is connected to a clamping plate.
[0006] Specifically, the frame is welded and fixed to the crossbeam, and the base of the SC80×800 cylinder is fixed to the center of the frame crossbeam by bolts.
[0007] The guide frame has several weight-reduction holes on its side; more specifically, the weight-reduction holes are seven evenly distributed circular holes with a diameter of 50 mm.
[0008] The TCM50×80 three-axis cylinder is fixed to both ends of the clamp beam by bolts, and the clamp plate is fixed to the TCM50×80 three-axis cylinder by bolts.
[0009] In use, the transfer trolley moves the collection device horizontally above the cathode conductive rods; the TCM50×80 three-axis cylinder drives the clamping plate to close, clamping 12 cathode conductive rods and aligning them; the transfer trolley moves the collection device horizontally above the cathode conductive rod collection rack; the SC80×800 cylinder drives the clamping plate to descend vertically into the cathode conductive rod collection rack; after the clamping plate reaches the bottom of the collection rack, the TCM50×80 three-axis cylinder drives the clamping plate to open, neatly stacking the cathode conductive rods; the SC80×800 cylinder drives the clamping plate to rise vertically to the initial height; the transfer trolley returns the collection device to the initial collection position.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. This utility model device adopts a clamping plate design with a large and flat clamping plate area, which can clamp 12 cathode conductive rods at a time, improving the cathode conductive rod collection efficiency by 100% compared to the original device. At the same time, it shapes and aligns the cathode conductive rods, reducing subsequent human intervention, reducing downtime, and improving the overall production line efficiency by 20%.
[0012] 2. In this utility model device, after the clamp reaches the rod placement position, the SC80×800 lifting cylinder lowers the cathode conductive rod to the bottom, and then the clamping plate is opened by the TCM50×80 three-axis cylinder. During this operation, the noise generated by the impact of the cathode conductive rod after free fall will be reduced to below 50dB, reducing dust pollution caused by the impact and optimizing the overall on-site working environment.

[0016] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the sorting and collecting device is assembled in the following manner:
[0018] Fixing the frame beam 2: Weld and fix the frame beam 2 to the transfer trolley of the nickel electrolytic charging unit to enhance overall stability;
[0019] Frame 3 and cylinder installation: Frame 3 is vertically welded to frame beam 2; the base of SC80×800 cylinder 1 is welded at the center of frame beam 2, and the cylinder is fixed to the base with bolts;
[0020] Guide structure design: Seven 50mm diameter circular holes 10 are opened on the guide frame 4 to reduce the weight-reducing load; the guide frame 4 is welded to the clamp beam 7 as a whole and embedded in the internal guide rail of the frame 3 to ensure vertical movement stability.
[0021] Floating buffer design: The cylinder head of SC80×800 cylinder 1 is connected to the clamp beam 7 through the floating joint 6 to reduce the impact force on the cylinder.
[0022] Clamping mechanism assembly: Two TCM50×80 three-axis cylinders 9 are symmetrically fixed to both ends of the clamping beam 7 by bolts; the clamping plate 8 is installed on the piston rod end of the TCM50×80 three-axis cylinder 9 by bolts to form the clamping execution component.
[0023] The specific workflow is as follows:
[0024] Step 1: Clamping and Shaping
[0025] The transfer trolley moves the device horizontally to directly above the 12 cathode conductive rods to be collected;
[0026] TCM50×80 three-axis cylinder 9 pressurizes and drives the clamping plate 8 to close, clamping the cathode conductive rod;
[0027] During the clamping process, the flat surface of the clamping plate 8 automatically shapes and aligns the cathode conductive rod, eliminating skewing.
[0028] Step 2: Transfer and Precise Descent
[0029] The transfer trolley moves the device horizontally to a position directly above the cathode conductive rod collection rack;
[0030] When the SC80×800 cylinder 1 is activated, it pushes the clamp beam 7 to descend vertically along the guide frame 4 until the clamp plate 8 reaches the bottom of the collection rack (not free fall).
[0031] Step 3: Low-noise release and stacking
[0032] After the PLC system confirms the 5-second timing, the TCM50×80 three-axis cylinder 9 releases pressure and opens the clamping plate 8.
[0033] The cathode conductive rods are placed stably in the collection rack and stacked neatly (impact noise ≤50dB, dust close to zero).
[0034] Step 4: Reset
[0035] SC80×800 cylinder 1 reverses its movement, causing the clamping plate 8 to rise to the initial height;
[0036] The transfer trolley moves the device back to the cathode conductive rod collection station, awaiting the next cycle operation.
[0037] Technical effect verification
[0038] Efficiency Improvement: The number of items picked up at one time increased from 6 to 12, collection efficiency improved by 100%, and overall production line efficiency improved by 20%;
[0039] Reduced intervention: Clamping and alignment are completed simultaneously, eliminating the need for manual secondary adjustments and avoiding equipment jamming and downtime;
[0040] Environmental optimization: Impact noise has been reduced from 105dB to below 50dB, and dust pollution has been significantly reduced, meeting industrial environmental standards.
