Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper smelting and processing technology, specifically to a finished cathode copper sampling station. Background Technology

[0002] In the copper smelting and refining process, quality inspection of the finished cathode copper is a crucial step in ensuring that the product meets national standards and customer requirements. Sampling, as the first step in quality inspection, directly affects the accuracy and representativeness of subsequent chemical analysis results. Traditionally, cathode copper is typically produced in square plate structures, and sampling is mostly done manually, with operators using handheld drills or bench drills to drill specific points into the cathode copper. However, due to the large weight of a single cathode copper piece, typically 45-50 kg, and the potential presence of oxide layers, nodules, and other irregularities on the surface, manual positioning is difficult, labor-intensive, and inefficient.

[0003] Currently, in practical applications, traditional cathode copper sampling stands are mostly one-piece molded structures, only possessing sample lifting functions. These sampling stands have a fixed structure and cannot be flexibly positioned during drilling operations. Furthermore, due to the limitations of the one-piece molded structure, when performing "9×9 checkerboard" sampling of cathode copper, workers need to constantly move the cathode copper to adjust the sampling position, resulting in low sampling efficiency and high labor intensity. This not only increases work time but also raises labor intensity and safety hazards, seriously affecting sampling efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design a sampling stand that can solve the above problems. The checkerboard grid sampling method is a sampling method used to ensure sample representativeness. It conventionally uses a "9×9 checkerboard" grid layout to systematically drill and sample the cathode copper surface. This method requires sampling points to be evenly distributed across different areas of the cathode copper surface, thereby ensuring that the obtained sample reflects the overall quality of the cathode copper. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of traditional sampling stations, such as fixed frames that prevent flexible adjustment of the cathode copper position, low manual sampling efficiency, and high labor intensity, this invention provides a finished cathode copper sampling station that facilitates adjustment of the cathode copper position during sampling, thereby improving sampling efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A finished cathode copper sampling stage includes a support frame, a support platform mounted on the top of the support frame, support blocks arranged around the top of the support platform, and a geared motor fixedly mounted in the center of the bottom. The rotating shaft of the geared motor extends upward through the support platform and is connected to a rotating column. A placement plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column. A positioning block assembly is also provided on the top surface of the placement plate. Steel balls are rotatably mounted inside the rotating column, and the top of the steel balls contacts the placement plate and provides auxiliary support to the placement plate.

[0006] Furthermore, both the support platform and the placement plate are square plates of the same size, with support blocks installed at the four corners of the top surface of the support platform. The positioning block assembly includes four positioning posts, which are respectively located at the four corners of the top surface of the placement plate. In use, the cathode copper is placed on the square placement plate. During placement, the side of the cathode copper is against the positioning posts, confining the cathode copper to the placement plate. When the sampling position of the cathode copper needs to be adjusted, the reduction motor drives the placement plate to rotate. The support blocks at the four corners of the support platform and the support blocks at the four corners of the placement plate form a double positioning system to prevent rotational displacement. This improved structure makes the cathode copper placement more stable and the positioning more accurate, preventing displacement during sampling and improving sampling safety and accuracy.

[0007] Furthermore, the placement plate at the bottom of the positioning column is provided with a sliding groove that mates with the positioning column, and the angle between the sliding groove and the side is 45 degrees. The positioning column has a threaded rod in the middle that mates with the sliding groove, and a nut is threaded onto the threaded rod. Tightening the nut presses the positioning column firmly onto the placement plate, limiting its position. Conversely, loosening the nut moves the threaded rod, simultaneously adjusting the positioning column. During use, the nut can be loosened according to the actual size of the cathode copper, and the positioning column can be moved to a suitable position along the sliding groove. Then, the nut can be tightened to fix the positioning column on the placement plate, thus achieving rapid positioning of cathode copper of different specifications. This structure makes the positioning column adjustment more flexible and easy to operate, adapting to the sampling needs of cathode copper of various sizes, improving the equipment's versatility and applicability, while ensuring firm and reliable positioning and preventing displacement during sampling.

[0008] Furthermore, the sliding groove is a T-shaped groove, and the bottom of the threaded column is a T-shaped block that mates with the T-shaped groove. During use, the T-shaped block slides along the T-shaped groove, enabling flexible adjustment and stable fixation of the positioning column on the placement plate. This structure makes the positioning column more stable and less prone to loosening during adjustment, improving the guiding nature of the positioning column's movement and the stability of the connection.

[0009] Furthermore, a rubber pad is provided at the bottom of the positioning post. After the positioning post is adjusted, it is limited by a nut. At this time, the nut presses the positioning post and the placement plate together. The added rubber pad increases the friction between the positioning post and the placement plate, which can prevent the positioning post from slipping and causing positioning deviation when it is subsequently matched with the cathode copper, thereby improving the positioning effect of the positioning post.

[0010] Furthermore, the sampling platform is equipped with a controller and four protective pillars on its outer side. Each protective pillar has a transmitter on one side and a receiver on its adjacent side, with the transmitters and receivers of each pair of protective pillars corresponding to each other. The controller is mounted on one of the protective pillars and is connected to each receiver and a geared motor. The transmitter and receiver between every two protective pillars work together to form a safety light curtain structure. The controller uses a microcontroller. When an operator enters the sampling area, it blocks the signal between the transmitter and receiver. Upon detecting a signal change, the controller automatically stops the geared motor to prevent equipment malfunction and injury. This structure provides safety protection for operators, improves the level of equipment automation control, makes the sampling process safer and more reliable, and facilitates operation and management. It effectively avoids safety accidents caused by misoperation and has good safety and practicality.

[0011] How to use: In use, the cathode copper is placed into the placement plate, and the positioning block group restricts the position of the cathode copper. Then, the worker can use a handheld bench drill to take samples. After the worker completes sampling on the side facing them, the reduction motor can be controlled to rotate. After the rotation motor is turned on, the rotating shaft drives the rotating column, which in turn drives the placement plate and the cathode copper on the top of the placement plate to rotate, thereby adjusting the sampling position for the worker to take samples. Repeating the operation completes the entire sampling operation. At the same time, this sampling platform can be set below the automatic sampling equipment and connected to the automatic sampling equipment. When the first sampling position is completed, the reduction motor is controlled to drive the placement plate to rotate. After the rotation stops, the automatic sampling equipment takes samples again. Repeating the operation completes the sampling operation. The placement plate is supported in the middle by the rotating column, and the surrounding area is supported by support blocks and steel balls. During the rotation of the placement plate, the steel balls rotate within the support blocks, which can prevent the placement plate from tilting and being damaged due to uneven force.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a geared motor to drive a rotating column, causing the cathode copper to rotate as a whole. This enables flexible adjustment of the cathode copper's position during sampling, effectively solving the problems of traditional one-piece molded sampling tables that cannot be flexibly positioned and require frequent movement of the cathode copper. This improves sampling efficiency while reducing the labor intensity of workers. The support block and steel ball support structure ensure that the placement plate stably supports the cathode copper while ensuring that it is evenly stressed and runs smoothly during rotation, avoiding structural damage due to uneven stress. This improves the stability and service life of the equipment. This utility model is not only suitable for manual sampling operations but can also be used in conjunction with automatic sampling equipment to realize an automated sampling process and improve the standardization and efficiency of sampling operations.

[0013] 2. This utility model achieves dual positioning by combining a square support platform with a placement plate, along with four corner support blocks and positioning columns, ensuring stable and accurate placement of the cathode copper and improving sampling safety and accuracy. The positioning columns feature an adjustable structure, using a T-slot and threaded rod for flexible adjustment and secure fixation, enhancing the equipment's adaptability to cathode copper of different specifications. The bottom rubber pad design increases friction, preventing the positioning columns from slipping and improving positioning reliability. An external safety light curtain system consisting of a controller and protective columns automatically stops the machine if operators accidentally enter the sampling area, ensuring operational safety. The overall structure is simple to operate, stable, and reliable, significantly improving sampling efficiency, safety, and equipment versatility. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example 1: A finished cathode copper sampling stage includes a support frame 1, a support platform 11 mounted on the top of the support frame 1, support blocks 12 are provided around the top of the support platform 11, and a reduction motor 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom; the rotating shaft of the reduction motor 2 extends upward through the support platform 11, and a rotating column 21 is connected to the rotating shaft, and a placement plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column 21; a positioning block group 4 is also provided on the top surface of the placement plate 3; a steel ball 13 is rotatably installed inside the rotating column 21, and the top of the steel ball 13 contacts the placement plate 3 and provides auxiliary support for the placement plate 3.

[0020] In use, the cathode copper is placed into the placement plate 3, and the positioning block group 4 restricts the position of the cathode copper. Then, the worker can use a handheld bench drill to take samples. After the worker completes the sampling on the side facing him, the reduction motor 2 can be controlled to rotate. After the rotation motor is turned on, the rotating shaft drives the rotating column 21, which drives the placement plate 3 and the cathode copper on the top of the placement plate 3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the sampling position for the worker to take samples. Repeating the operation completes the entire sampling operation. At the same time, the sampling platform can be set below the automatic sampling equipment and connected to the automatic sampling equipment. After the automatic sampling equipment is used, the first sampling position is sampled. When the first sampling position is sampled, the reduction motor 2 is controlled to drive the placement plate 3 to rotate. After the rotation stops, the automatic sampling equipment takes samples again. Repeating the operation completes the sampling operation. The placement plate 3 is supported in the middle by the rotating column 21, and the surrounding area is supported by the support blocks 12 and steel balls 13. During the rotation of the placement plate 3, the steel balls 13 rotate within the support blocks 12, which can prevent the placement plate 3 from tilting and being damaged due to uneven force.

[0021] Example 2: Unlike Example 1, both the support platform 11 and the placement plate 3 are square plates of the same size. Support blocks 12 are installed at the four corners of the top surface of the support platform 11. The positioning block group 4 includes four positioning posts 41, which are respectively located at the four corners of the top surface of the placement plate 3. In use, the cathode copper is placed on the square placement plate 3. During placement, the side of the cathode copper is against the positioning posts 41, confining the cathode copper to the placement plate 3. When the sampling position of the cathode copper needs to be adjusted, the reduction motor 2 drives the placement plate 3 to rotate. The support blocks 12 at the four corners of the support platform 11 and the support blocks 12 at the four corners of the placement plate 3 form a double positioning system to prevent rotational displacement. This improved structure makes the cathode copper placement more stable and the positioning more accurate, preventing displacement during sampling and improving sampling safety and accuracy.

[0022] The sampling platform has a controller 5 and four protective pillars 6 on its outer side. Each protective pillar 6 has a transmitter 61 on one side and a receiver 62 on its adjacent side, with the transmitters 61 and receivers 62 of each pair of protective pillars corresponding to each other. The controller 5 is located on one of the protective pillars 6 and is connected to each receiver 62 and the reduction motor 2. The transmitters 61 and receivers 62 between every two protective pillars form a protective mechanism that is basically consistent with the structure and principle of existing safety light curtains. The controller 5 uses a microcontroller. When an operator enters the sampling area, it will block the signal between the transmitter 61 and the receiver 62. After detecting the signal change, the controller 5 will automatically stop the reduction motor 2 to prevent equipment malfunction and injury. This structure achieves safety protection for operators, improves the level of automation control of the equipment, makes the sampling process safer and more reliable, and facilitates operation and management. It effectively avoids safety accidents caused by misoperation and has good safety and practicality.

[0023] Example 2: Unlike Example 1, the bottom of the positioning post 41 has a sliding groove 31 on the placement plate 3 that mates with the positioning post 41, and the angle between the sliding groove 31 and the side is 45 degrees. The positioning post 41 has a threaded rod 42 in the middle that mates with the sliding groove 31, and a nut 43 is threaded onto the threaded rod 42. Tightening the nut 43 presses the positioning post 41 onto the placement plate 3, limiting its position. Conversely, loosening the nut 43 moves the threaded rod 42, simultaneously adjusting the positioning post 41. During use, the nut 43 can be loosened according to the actual size of the cathode copper, and the positioning post 41 can be moved along the sliding groove 31 to a suitable position. Tightening the nut 43 then fixes the positioning post 41 onto the placement plate 3, thus achieving rapid positioning of cathode copper of different specifications. This structure makes the positioning post 41 more flexible to adjust and easier to operate, adapting to the sampling needs of cathode copper of various sizes, improving the equipment's versatility and applicability, while ensuring firm and reliable positioning and preventing displacement during sampling.

[0024] The sliding groove 31 is a T-shaped groove, and the bottom of the threaded column is a T-shaped block 44 that matches the T-shaped groove. In use, the T-shaped block 44 slides along the T-shaped groove, so that the positioning column 41 can be flexibly adjusted and firmly fixed on the placement plate 3. This structure makes the positioning column 41 more stable and less prone to loosening during the adjustment process, and improves the guiding nature of the movement of the positioning column 41 and the stability of the connection.

[0025] The bottom of the positioning post 41 is provided with a rubber pad 45. After the positioning post 41 is adjusted, it is limited by the nut 43. At this time, the nut 43 presses the positioning post 41 and the placement plate 3 together. The added rubber pad 45 increases the friction between the positioning post 41 and the placement plate 3, which can prevent the positioning post 41 from slipping and causing positioning deviation when it is subsequently matched with the cathode copper, thereby improving the positioning effect of the positioning post 41.
