Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of precious metal metallurgy technology, specifically to a special tank car for automating the silver electrolysis process. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, the demand for silver has grown rapidly, and silver electrolytic cells have gradually become larger in scale. This has brought great labor intensity to operators due to the traditional manual tasks of hanging plates, bagging, filling, and unloading. In the current era of comprehensive advancement in equipment "intelligent transformation and digitalization," the silver electrolysis process is constantly undergoing technological innovation towards automation and intelligence. Advanced equipment such as robotic arms and AGVs are gradually replacing the heavy manual tasks of hanging plates, bagging, filling, and unloading.

[0003] To automate the anode hanging and bagging process, a separate anode unpacking / unpacking production line is typically set up. This line primarily utilizes robotic arms to automatically hang and bag the anodes, while simultaneously unpacking the residual electrodes after they have exited the cell to separate the conductive rods, residual electrodes, filter bags, and anode mud. The automated loading and unloading processes are handled by the robotic arms integrated into the electrolytic cell production line itself. The transport of anodes and residual electrodes between the electrolytic cell and the unpacking / unpacking production line is handled by AGVs. To better adapt to the application scenarios of robotic arms and AGVs in hanging, bagging, loading, and unloading operations, reduce labor intensity, improve production efficiency, and minimize metal loss, a dedicated tank truck must be used for the transfer of anodes and residual electrodes.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a special tanker for automating the silver electrolysis process, including a frame, with universal wheels installed at the four corners of the bottom of the frame, a connecting rod installed on one side wall of the frame, and a connecting port reserved on the connecting rod, a support frame installed on the top of the frame, a pusher fixed on one side wall of the support frame, multiple sets of bag supporters arrayed on one side wall of the support frame, multiple sets of guide grooves symmetrically arrayed on the upper end of the support frame, guide plates symmetrically arranged on both side walls of the support frame, a receiving plate installed on the top of the frame, a discharge pipe reserved on one side wall of the receiving plate, and a manual valve installed on the discharge pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, the casters are fixed at the four corners of the frame, the support frame is fixed to the frame with bolts, and the push frame is fixed to one side wall of the support frame with screws. Furthermore, the connecting rod is fixed to the vehicle frame with screws, the connecting port is formed on the connecting rod, and two sets of positioning seats are symmetrically installed on one side wall of the vehicle frame.

[0012] 2. The tank car of this utility model is equipped with a positioning seat, which can be accurately positioned with the positioning pins of the anode plate bagging production line and the electrolytic cell production line, facilitating automatic tank loading and unloading operations.

[0013] 3. The bottom of the tanker of this utility model is equipped with universal wheels and a push frame, and is made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant polytetrafluoroethylene material, which allows for manual transportation in case of AGV malfunction.

[0014] 4. The tank truck of this utility model is equipped with a bag opener and guide grooves, and the spacing between the guide grooves is the same as the anode spacing in the electrolytic cell.

[0019] 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.

[0020] like Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment describes a dedicated tanker for automating a silver electrolysis process. It includes a frame 1 with casters 2 at each of the four corners of the frame 1 for easy movement. A connecting rod 10 is mounted on one side wall of the frame 1, with a pre-drilled connection port 11 for connecting to an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) for automatic tanker movement. A support frame 3 is mounted above the frame 1, with a pusher 7 fixed to one side wall of the support frame 3 for manual pushing of the tanker in case of AGV malfunction. Multiple sets of bag expanders 8 are arrayed on one side wall of the support frame 3 to automatically expand the anode bags. Multiple sets of guide grooves 5 are symmetrically arrayed on the upper end of the support frame 3, with the spacing between the guide grooves 5 corresponding to the spacing in the electrolytic cell. With the anode spacing being the same, the anode hanging plate and bagging process facilitates the precise placement of the anode into the anode bag and the precise placement of the conductive copper rod into the guide groove 5. After the position of the conductive copper rod is fixed by the guide groove 5, it is convenient for the subsequent electrolytic cell robotic arm to directly grab and load it into the cell. The support frame 3 is also symmetrically equipped with guide plates 6 on both sides, and a receiving plate 4 is installed above the frame 1. A discharge pipe 12 is reserved on one side wall of the receiving plate 4, and a manual valve 13 is installed on the discharge pipe 12. The percolated electrolyte in the anode bag can flow into the receiving plate 4 for collection through the guide plate 6, avoiding metal loss. When the percolated electrolyte in the receiving plate 4 reaches a certain level, it can be discharged and collected through the discharge pipe 12 connected to the receiving plate 4.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the casters 2 are fixed at the four corners of the frame 1, the support frame 3 is fixed to the frame 1 with bolts, the push frame 7 is fixed to one side wall of the support frame 3 with screws, the connecting rod 10 is fixed to the frame 1 with screws, the connecting port 11 is formed on the connecting rod 10, and two sets of positioning seats 9 are symmetrically installed on one side wall of the frame 1. During use, the connecting port 11 on the connecting rod 10 is connected to the AGV trolley to realize the automatic movement of the tank car. When the AGV trolley fails, the tank car can be manually pushed to move by the push frame 7, and the positioning seats 9 are used to accurately position the tank car with the positioning pins of the anode plate unpacking and bagging production line and the electrolytic cell production line, which facilitates automatic tank loading and unloading operations.

[0022] like Figures 1-3In this embodiment, the bag support 8 is fixed to one side wall of the inner side of the support frame 3 by screws, the guide groove 5 is fixed to both sides of the upper end of the support frame 3 by screws, the guide plate 6 is installed on both sides of the support frame 3 by screws, the guide plate 6 has a guide slope, the receiving plate 4 is fixed to the top of the frame 1 by screws, the receiving plate 4 has a U-shaped structure, the discharge pipe 12 is welded to one side wall of the receiving plate 4, and the manual valve 13 is installed on the discharge pipe 12 by threads. Since the spacing of the guide groove 5 is the same as the anode spacing in the electrolytic cell, during the anode hanging plate and bagging process, on the one hand, it is conducive to the anode falling accurately into the anode bag, and on the other hand, it is conducive to the conductive copper rod falling accurately into the guide groove 5. After the position of the conductive copper rod is fixed by the guide groove 5, it is convenient for the subsequent electrolytic cell robotic arm to directly grab and fill the cell. The percolated electrolyte in the anode bag can flow into the receiving plate 4 for collection through the guide plate 6 to avoid metal loss. When the percolated electrolyte in the receiving plate 4 is collected to a certain extent, it can be discharged and collected through the discharge pipe 12 connected to the receiving plate 4.

[0023] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows: First, the tank car is connected to the AGV trolley through the connecting port 11 on the connecting rod 10 to realize automatic movement of the tank car. When the AGV trolley malfunctions, the tank car can be manually pushed to move through the push frame 7. The positioning seat 9 is used to accurately position the tank car with the positioning pins of the anode plate unpacking and bagging production line and the electrolytic cell production line, which facilitates automatic tank loading and unloading operations. At this time, since the spacing of the guide groove 5 is the same as the anode spacing in the electrolytic cell, during the anode hanging plate and bagging process, it is beneficial for the anode to fall accurately into the anode bag and for the conductive copper rod to move accurately. The conductive copper rod is positioned in the guide groove 5, which then fixes its position, facilitating direct loading into the electrolytic cell by the robotic arm. Meanwhile, the electrolyte permeated from the anode bag flows easily into the collection tray 4 via the guide plate 6, preventing metal loss. When the electrolyte permeated in the collection tray 4 reaches a certain level, it can be discharged through the discharge pipe 12 connected to the tray 4. The tank truck designed in this application frees workers from heavy and dangerous work, significantly improves production efficiency, accelerates the silver refining process, and meets the growing market demand for silver. Simultaneously, reducing metal loss helps lower production costs, improves the economic benefits of enterprises, injects new vitality into the development of precious metal metallurgy technology, and promotes the entire industry towards greater automation and intelligence.
