Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anode plate transfer technology, specifically to an anti-jamming transfer device for guiding anode plates. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of the automated anode plate transfer system, the transfer trolley plays a crucial role in enabling the intermittent transfer of anode plates between different conveyors. Its typical workflow is as follows: the loading gantry robotic arm uses grippers to hold multiple anode plates at once, moving them directly above the transfer trolley before lowering to place them into the trolley for further transfer. However, due to manufacturing tolerances such as unevenness in the anode plate's ears, when the robotic arm grips multiple anode plates, the lower ends of each plate cannot fit tightly together, easily forming a fan-shaped arrangement with the lower ends spreading outwards, resulting in an unstable, non-free, vertical state. During the process of the anode plates descending and preparing to be placed into the transfer trolley, these outward-opening anode plates are prone to collision and jamming with the edge of the transfer trolley frame. This jamming phenomenon not only hinders the normal transfer process, but more seriously, it may cause structural deformation or even damage to the loading gantry robot arm or the transfer trolley itself, forcing the production line to stop for a long time for inspection and maintenance. This greatly affects the continuity of anode plate production and the overall transfer efficiency, increases equipment maintenance costs and production risks, and there is a lack of effective devices to solve this jamming problem in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned anode plates, which are prone to collision or jamming when being transferred into the loading truss or transfer trolley, this utility model provides an anti-jamming device that can guide the anode plates to close smoothly and prevent them from getting stuck on the frame of the transfer trolley.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A device for preventing jamming during the transfer of a guide anode plate includes symmetrically arranged fixed plates and sliding plates, with a groove fixedly provided in the middle of each fixed plate; a slider is slidably arranged in the groove, and a sliding plate is installed on the top of the slider; the upper part of the sliding plate is an inclined plate that guides the end of the anode plate to converge, and the bottom is a vertical plate.

[0005] Furthermore, a support block with a right-angled triangular cross-section is provided between the slider and the slide plate. One side of the right angle is fixedly connected to the top of the slider, and the inclined surface corresponding to the hypotenuse is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inclined plate. When the anode plate descends and contacts the inclined plate, its outwardly expanding lower end slides along the inclined plate. The lateral thrust generated is transmitted through the hypotenuse of the support block to the side of the right angle, and is stably borne by the slider, effectively preventing the inclined plate from deforming or overturning during the stress process. This support structure significantly enhances the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the connection between the slide plate and the slider by utilizing geometric stability, improving the durability of the device under frequent impact conditions, while ensuring accurate and reliable guiding action, avoiding guidance failure or jamming due to structural deformation, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0006] Furthermore, the slide groove is T-shaped, and the slider is a corresponding T-shaped block. During installation, the T-shaped slider is inserted from one end of the slide groove, and the slider can only slide along the length of the slide groove and cannot be dislodged. When the slide plate is subjected to lateral thrust or tilting guiding force applied by the lower end of the anode plate, the full contact surface between the T-shaped slider and the T-shaped slide groove can effectively resist lateral shear force and overturning moment, preventing the slider from flipping, jamming, or dislodging during movement. This structure achieves stable guidance and reliable limiting between the slider and the slide groove through the T-shaped fit, significantly improving the connection's firmness and the smoothness of movement. Even under frequent impacts and heavy loads, it can maintain a good fit, extending the service life of the sliding pair.

[0007] Furthermore, a scale is provided on the fixed plate next to the chute outlet. The scale on the fixed plate next to the chute outlet is used to indicate the lateral position of the slider. When adjusting the slider, the scale can be used to intuitively and accurately control the movement distance of the slide plate, which is convenient for symmetrical adjustment of the two sides or quick reset to a known suitable position. The adjustment operation is simple and efficient, improves the positioning accuracy, avoids the anode plate jamming due to position asymmetry, and improves the debugging efficiency and equipment applicability.

[0008] How to use this utility model: The anti-jamming device is symmetrically installed on both sides of the transfer trolley or at the frame opening in the direction of anode plate entry. During installation or commissioning, the initial position of the slide plate and the inclined plate above it can be adjusted by pushing the slider laterally within the groove of the fixed plate. This adjustment ensures that the inclined plate is accurately located within the reasonable guiding area of ​​the anode plate's descent path. When the loading gantry robotic arm lowers the fan-shaped anode plates, the lower end of the anode plates first contacts the pre-adjusted inclined plate. The inclined surface applies an inward guiding force under the weight of the anode plates, causing the anode plates to gradually close and smoothly slide into the transfer trolley. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, through the adjustable design of the slider for the slide plate position, enables the anti-jamming device to flexibly adapt to various production conditions, effectively avoiding the problem of collision or jamming between the anode plates and the frame of the transfer trolley due to the outward expansion of the anode plate arrangement. It significantly improves the smoothness and reliability of the anode plate placement process, enhances the versatility of the equipment and the convenience of installation and debugging, and also reduces the requirements for the absolute positioning accuracy of the robotic arm. It reduces the impact and wear during equipment operation, effectively preventing structural damage and unplanned downtime caused by plate jamming, thereby ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the automatic anode plate transfer system. It has the advantages of convenient adjustment, accurate positioning, safety and durability.

[0009] 2. This utility model effectively transfers the lateral thrust of the inclined plate to the slider by setting a support block with a right-angled triangular cross-section. Geometric stability enhances the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the connection, preventing deformation or overturning of the inclined plate and improving the durability and guiding reliability of the device under frequent impacts. The use of a T-shaped groove in conjunction with a T-shaped slider achieves stable guidance and anti-disengagement limiting of the slider during sliding, effectively resisting lateral shear force and overturning moment, avoiding flipping and jamming, and improving motion smoothness and structural robustness. A scale is added to the fixed plate, making slider position adjustment intuitive and accurate, facilitating symmetrical adjustment and rapid positioning, improving debugging efficiency and equipment applicability.

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] Example 1: A transfer device for guiding the transfer of an anode plate to prevent jamming, comprising a fixed plate 1 and a sliding plate 2 arranged symmetrically, with a groove fixed in the middle of each fixed plate 1; a slider 3 is slidably arranged in the groove, and a sliding plate 2 is installed on the top of the slider 3; the upper part of the sliding plate 2 is an inclined plate 21 that guides the end of the anode plate to converge, and the bottom part is a vertical plate 22.

[0015] The anti-jamming device is symmetrically installed on both sides of the transfer trolley or at the frame opening in the direction of anode plate entry. During the installation or debugging stage, the slider 3 can be pushed to move laterally in the groove of the fixed plate 1, thereby adjusting the initial position of the slide plate 2 and the inclined plate 21 above it. This adjustment ensures that the inclined plate 21 can be accurately located in the reasonable guiding area of ​​the anode plate descent path. When the loading gantry robot arm lowers the anode plate which is fan-shaped, the lower end of the anode plate first contacts the inclined plate 21 which has been pre-adjusted. The inclined surface applies an inward guiding force to the anode plate under its own weight, causing the anode plates to gradually close and slide smoothly into the transfer trolley.

[0016] Example 2: Unlike Example 1, a support block 4 with a right-angled triangular cross-section is provided between the slider 3 and the slide plate 2. One side of the right angle is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 3, and the inclined surface of the hypotenuse is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inclined plate 21. When the anode plate descends and contacts the inclined plate 21, its outwardly expanding lower end slides along the inclined plate 21. The lateral thrust generated is transmitted through the hypotenuse of the support block 4 to the side of the right angle, and is stably borne by the slider 3, effectively preventing the inclined plate 21 from deforming or overturning during the stress process. This support structure significantly enhances the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the connection between the slide plate 2 and the slider 3 by utilizing geometric stability, improving the durability of the device under frequent impact conditions, while ensuring accurate and reliable guiding action, avoiding guidance failure or jamming due to structural deformation, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0017] The slide groove is T-shaped, and the slider 3 is a corresponding T-shaped block of the slide groove. During installation, the T-shaped slider 3 is inserted from one end of the slide groove. The slider 3 can only slide along the length of the slide groove and cannot be dislodged. When the slide plate 2 is subjected to lateral thrust or tilting guiding force applied by the lower end of the anode plate, the full contact surface between the T-shaped slider 3 and the T-shaped slide groove can effectively resist lateral shear force and overturning moment, preventing the slider 3 from flipping, jamming, or dislodging during movement. This structure achieves stable guidance and reliable limiting between the slider 3 and the slide groove through the T-shaped fit, significantly improving the connection's firmness and the smoothness of movement. Even under frequent impacts and heavy loads, it can maintain a good fit and extend the service life of the sliding pair.

[0018] A scale is provided on the fixed plate 1 next to the chute outlet. The scale on the fixed plate 1 next to the chute outlet is used to indicate the lateral position of the slider 3. When adjusting the slider 3, the movement distance of the slide plate 2 can be controlled intuitively and accurately through the scale, which facilitates symmetrical adjustment of the two sides or quick reset to a known suitable position. The adjustment operation is simple and efficient, improves the positioning accuracy, avoids the anode plate jamming due to position asymmetry, and improves the debugging efficiency and equipment applicability.
