Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of non-ferrous metal metallurgy technology, and in particular to a short-circuit plate processing device for an electrolysis workshop. Background Technology

[0002] In non-ferrous metal smelting, the electrolytic cell in the electrolysis process contains cathode plates and anode plates for electrolytic chemical reactions. After the direct current is turned on, granules may be deposited on the surface of the metal cathode. The formation of these granules can cause the cathode and anode plates to connect, resulting in a short circuit. This affects the current efficiency of electrolysis and the grade of the metal deposited on the cathode, which is not conducive to the stability and efficiency of electrolysis.

[0003] In related technologies, when a short circuit occurs between the cathode and anode plates, excessive current distribution and excessively strong local magnetic fields will appear on the plates. Manual handling is labor-intensive, inefficient, and the working environment is poor, making it unsuitable for manual handling. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 A short-circuit board processing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0030] The short-circuit board processing equipment 100 according to the embodiments of this application can be used in a copper electrolyte workshop. That is, this application can also be referred to as a short-circuit board processing equipment 100 for an electrolysis workshop. An electrolysis cell 200 is suspended on the upper side of the electrolysis workshop. The electrolysis cell 200 has electrode plates 5 inside. A cell cover cloth is provided at the opening of the electrolysis cell 200 to cover the opening. The short-circuit board processing equipment 100 includes: a walking device 1, a lifting device 2, a transfer device 3, and a granulation removal device 4. 1. A traveling device 1 is set above the electrolytic cell 200. The traveling device 1 includes a traveling cart 11, which can travel movably above the electrolytic cell 200 along the first direction X and the second direction Y. A lifting device 2 is installed on the traveling cart 11. The traveling cart 11 is adapted to grab the cell cover cloth to open the cell opening. A transfer device 3 is installed on the traveling cart 11. The transfer device 3 is adapted to remove the short-circuited electrode plate 5 from the electrolytic cell 200 and transport it to a designated location. A granulation removal device 4 is adapted to remove granules from the short-circuited electrode plate 5.

[0031] In other words, after receiving an instruction or communication message in the electrolysis workshop that the short-circuit plate processing equipment 100 needs to clean the granules on the electrode plate 5, it can travel to the designated position of the electrolysis cell 200 by means of the traveling vehicle 11. For example, the traveling device 1 may also include a traveling track 12 installed in the electrolysis workshop. The traveling vehicle 11 may be a beam structure. The traveling vehicle 11 can be rolled on the traveling track 12 by traveling wheels. There may be two traveling tracks 12.

[0032] The travel track 12 can extend along either the first direction X or the second direction Y. That is, the travel track 12 can include a first travel track extending along the first direction X and a second travel track extending along the second direction Y. Through the first and second travel tracks, the vehicle can move freely within the planar space formed by the first and second directions X and Y, exhibiting good flexibility. Here, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the aforementioned first direction X. Simultaneously, the third direction Z, as described below, is also perpendicular to both the first and second directions X and Y, respectively, and will not be elaborated further below.

[0033] An electrolytic cell 200 is provided with a cell cover cloth at the opening. When the traveling vehicle 11 travels to the position of the corresponding electrolytic cell 200, the lifting device 2 can grab the cell cover cloth, thereby opening the opening of the electrolyte. There are multiple electrode plates 5 in the electrolytic cell 200. The transfer device 3 can take out the corresponding short-circuited electrode plate 5 from the electrolytic cell 200 and transport it to the granulation removal device 4, so that the granulation removal device 4 can effectively remove the granules on the electrode plate 5. The removal method can be milling, which is not limited in this application.

[0034] After the electrode plate 5 is milled, the transfer device 3 can transport the milled electrode plate 5 to the original electrode plate 5 removal position, and then identify the original electrode plate 5 position through the short circuit identification unit, so that the milled electrode plate 5 can be put back into the electrolytic cell 200 through the transfer unit 32.

[0035] Finally, by lifting device 2, the cover cloth can be placed back on the corresponding slot opening.

[0036] Therefore, the short-circuit treatment equipment of this application is simple to operate and requires no manual operation throughout the entire process, including the lifting and re-covering of the tank cover. This can significantly improve the automation performance of the short-circuit treatment equipment and reduce the intensity of manual labor. Furthermore, the short-circuit treatment equipment of this application integrates a walking device 1, a lifting device 2, a transfer device 3, and a granulation removal device 4. The transfer device 3 is movably mounted on the walking vehicle 11, and the granulation removal device 4 can be fixed at a fixed position on the walking vehicle 11. Through the transport of the electrode plate 5 by the transfer device 3, the granulation removal of the electrode plate 5 can be carried out at a designated location. This can better utilize the horizontal space and effectively collect and clean the removed granules. This can significantly reduce the structural complexity of the short-circuit treatment equipment, and the short-circuit treatment equipment has multiple functions, which can improve its adaptability to production.

[0037] The short-circuit handling device according to the embodiments of this application is simple to operate and highly automated, which can effectively reduce the intensity of manual labor. In addition, the short-circuit handling device has multiple functions, which can improve its adaptability to production.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the lifting device 2 includes: a frame, a first lateral movement assembly 22, a first lifting assembly 23, and a gripping assembly 24. The frame is detachably mounted on the traveling vehicle 11. The first lateral movement assembly 22 includes: a first drive member and a first mounting bracket 221. The first mounting bracket 221 is movably mounted on the frame along a second direction Y. The first drive member is used to drive the first mounting bracket 221. The first lifting assembly 23 includes: a second drive member and a second mounting bracket 231. The second mounting bracket 231 is movably mounted on the first mounting bracket 221 along a third direction Z. The second drive member is used to drive the second mounting bracket 231. The gripping assembly 24 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 231 and is adapted to grip the groove cover cloth.

[0039] In other words, when the short-circuit board processing device 100 receives a processing instruction, the short-circuit board processing device 100 can move above the electrolytic cell 200 via the traveling vehicle 11. For example, there can be one or more electrolytic cells 200. When it moves above the designated electrolytic cell 200, the first lifting component 23 can drive the second mounting bracket 231 via the second driving component, causing the gripping component 24 mounted on the second mounting bracket 231 to move downward synchronously, so that the gripping component 24 can grip the cell cover cloth. Then, the second driving component can drive the second mounting bracket 231 to move the gripping component 24. The upward movement of the cover cloth pulls it upward, opening the opening of the electrolytic cell 200. Furthermore, after the cover cloth is pulled upward, the first lateral movement component 22 allows the cover cloth to move in the second direction Y of the horizontal plane, ensuring that there is no obstruction above the opening of the electrolytic cell 200. At this time, the transfer device 3 can better identify the electrode plate 5 that has short-circuited in the electrolytic cell 200, and then remove the short-circuited electrode plate 5 from the electrolytic cell 200 and transport it to a designated location. Then, the granulation removal device 4 can remove the granules on the electrode plate 5. After the granules are removed, the electrode plate 5 can be transported back into the electrolytic cell 200 by the transfer device 3.

[0040] For example, the electrode plate 5 can be moved back to its original position within the electrolytic cell 200. The specific position can also be designed according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0041] After the electrode plate 5 is returned to the electrolytic cell 200, the transfer device 3 can continue to identify and remove other short-circuited electrode plates 5, and then transport them to a designated location to remove granules through the granulation removal device 4 before returning them. This process is repeated until all short-circuited electrode plates 5 in the electrolytic cell 200 are completely granulated. Then, the lifting device 2 can use the first transverse component 22, the first lifting component 23, and the gripping component 24 to reposition the cell cover cloth at the cell opening. The entire process can be automated without operator intervention, which can significantly reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.

[0042] In addition, in the lifting device 2 of this application, the first transverse component 22 and the first lifting component 23 have simple structures and can transport the gripping component 24 to the designated position in three-dimensional space, so that the gripping component 24 can grip the groove cover cloth.

[0043] For example, both the first lateral movement component 22 and the first lifting component 23 may have guide structures, such as a slide rail assembly of a slide rail and a slider, or a cable chain, which are not limited in this application.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the gripping component 24 includes: a cloth suction member 241 and / or a cloth clamping member 242, wherein the cloth suction member 241 is adapted to suction the groove cover cloth by negative pressure, and the cloth clamping member 242 is adapted to clamp the groove cover cloth.

[0045] In other words, the gripping component 24 may include a suction element 241, which may be a suction nozzle. One end of the suction nozzle is connected to a negative pressure device through an air pipe. When the suction element 241 is needed to pick up the trough cover cloth, the negative pressure device can suck air through the air pipe, so that the trough cover cloth can be well picked up by the suction nozzle. Multiple suction elements 241 may be provided, and multiple suction elements 241 may be evenly spaced apart, thereby improving the stability of gripping the trough cover cloth.

[0046] Furthermore, the gripping component 24 may also include a fabric clamping element 242, which may include grippers. The grippers can be pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic; this application does not impose any limitations on this. The grippers can effectively clamp the cover fabric. Exemplarily, multiple fabric clamping elements 242 may be provided, arranged at intervals. Therefore, according to the above example, the gripping component 24 can be any one of the suction component 241 and the clamping component 242, or it can include both the suction component 241 and the clamping component 242. The arrangement position and number of the suction component 241 and the clamping component 242 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the granulation removal device 4 includes: a second lateral movement assembly 41, a second lifting assembly 42, and a milling assembly 43. The second lateral movement assembly 41 includes: a third drive member and a third mounting bracket. The third mounting bracket is movably mounted on the frame along a second direction Y. The third drive member is used to drive the third mounting bracket. The second lifting assembly 42 includes: a fourth drive member and a fourth mounting bracket. The fourth mounting bracket is movably mounted on the fourth mounting bracket along a third direction Z. The fourth drive member is used to drive the fourth mounting bracket. The milling assembly 43 is mounted on the fourth mounting bracket and is used for milling the electrode plate 5.

[0048] In other words, after the transfer device 3 transports the electrode plate 5 with agglomerates to the designated position, the agglomerate removal device 4 can adjust the position of the milling component 43 through the second lateral movement component 41 and the second lifting component 42. The milling component 43 may include a rotatable milling cutter, which removes the agglomerates on the electrode plate 5 by rotating the milling cutter. For example, the agglomerate removal device 4 can also identify the position of the agglomerates on the electrode plate 5 through the identification system and the control system, and plan the milling path of the milling cutter. The second lateral movement component 41 and the second lifting component 42 can adjust the position of the milling cutter according to the milling path, which is flexible.

[0049] Additionally, it should be noted that the first, second, third, and fourth driving components mentioned above can be electrically driven, such as motors, or other driving methods, and this application does not impose any restrictions on them.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the granulation removal device 4 further includes: a housing 44 and a first clamping assembly 45. The housing 44 includes a housing body and a housing door. The second lateral movement assembly 41, the second lifting assembly 42 and the milling assembly 43 are all installed in the housing body. The housing door is used to open or close the opening of the housing body. The first clamping assembly 45 is installed in the housing body and is adapted to clamp the electrode plate 5 transported by the transfer device 3 to the housing 44.

[0051] In other words, the transfer device 3 can transport the short-circuited electrode plate 5 into the box body, and then the first clamping component 45 can clamp the electrode plate 5. At this time, the transfer device 3 can release the electrode plate 5 and move away from the box body. At this time, the box door can close the box body, and the milling component 43 can perform milling operations on the surface of the electrode plate 5 inside the box body. The box body 44 can better protect the second transverse component 41, the second lifting component 42 and the milling component 43. Furthermore, during the milling operation, since the operation is carried out inside the box body 44, the debris generated during milling will remain inside the box body 44 and will not easily scatter and fly around in the electrolysis workshop, thus affecting the environment of the electrolysis workshop.

[0052] After the milling operation is completed, the box door can be opened and the box body can be opened. Then the transfer device 3 can re-clamp the electrode plate 5. Then the first clamping assembly 45 releases the electrode plate 5. At this time, the electrode plate 5 can be transported out of the box body 44 by the transfer device and put back into the electrolytic cell 200.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the granulation removal device 4 further includes a granulation identification component, which includes a first sensor adapted to acquire granulation information on the electrode plate 5. The granulation information includes the position information and thickness information of the granules.

[0054] In other words, after the first clamping component 45 clamps the electrode plate 5, the granulation identification component can scan the electrode plate 5. By scanning the electrode plate 5, the granulation information on the surface of the electrode plate 5 can be obtained, such as the location of the granules on the electrode plate 5 and the thickness of the granules at each location. In this way, the milling component 43 can perform milling operations on these granules accordingly, so that the entire surface of the electrode plate 5 does not need to be milled, the milling time of the electrode plate 5 can be reduced, and the efficiency of granulation removal can be improved.

[0055] For example, the granulation removal device 4 may also include an electronic control component, that is, the electronic control component can acquire the position information and thickness information of the granules, and then automatically generate the milling path.

[0056] For example, the short-circuit plate processing device 100 may have an independent control module, and the entire short-circuit plate processing device 100 is controlled by the control module. That is, when the control module obtains the granulation information on the surface of the electrode plate 5, it can generate a milling route.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the first sensor includes: a light sensor.

[0058] For example, the optical sensor may include a binocular structured light system, which can construct relatively accurate surface information of the electrode plate 5 containing copper particle nodules through the binocular structured light system, thereby obtaining the position of the nodules on the electrode plate 5, and determining the height information of the nodules based on the relative position of the height of the nodules to the surface of the electrode plate 5.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the transfer device 3 includes a short-circuit identification unit and a transfer unit 32. The short-circuit identification unit is adapted to identify a short-circuited electrode plate 5, and the transfer unit 32 is adapted to remove the short-circuited electrode plate 5 from the electrolytic cell 200 and transport it to a designated location.

[0060] In other words, a tank cover cloth is provided at the opening of the electrolytic cell 200. When the traveling vehicle 11 travels to the corresponding position of the electrolytic cell 200, the lifting device 2 can grab the tank cover cloth, thereby opening the opening of the electrolyte. There are multiple electrode plates 5 in the electrolytic cell 200. The transfer device 3 can identify which electrode plate 5 has particles causing the short circuit through the short circuit identification unit. Then, the transfer unit 32 takes the corresponding short-circuited electrode plate 5 out of the electrolytic cell 200 and transports it to the particle removal device 4, so that the particle removal device 4 can effectively remove the particles on the electrode plate 5.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the short-circuit identification unit includes: a first collector, a second collector 31, and a third collector. The first collector is adapted to acquire temperature information within the electrolytic cell 200 to identify the short-circuit region within the electrolytic cell 200 based on the temperature information. The second collector 31 is adapted to acquire information about the electrode 5 within the short-circuit region, where the electrode 5 information is the position of the short-circuited electrode 5. The third collector is adapted to acquire the clamping position of the short-circuited electrode 5.

[0062] Furthermore, the first data acquisition unit includes a temperature sensor, and / or the second data acquisition unit 31 includes a magnetic field sensor, and / or the third data acquisition unit includes an image acquisition unit.

[0063] For example, the first data acquisition device can be an infrared camera, the second data acquisition device 31 can be a gaussmeter, and the third data acquisition device can be a camera. Thus, the normal operating temperature inside the electrolytic cell 200 is about 60 degrees Celsius, while the temperature between the short-circuited plates 5 can generally rise to over 80 degrees Celsius. The infrared camera can better obtain the temperature distribution in the electrolysis workshop, thereby better determining the short-circuit area. Furthermore, the gaussmeter can be installed on the second clamping assembly 323 described below. The second clamping assembly 323 can move above the plate 5. A gaussmeter, also known as a Tesla meter, is a precision electronic instrument specifically used to measure magnetic field strength (magnetic induction intensity). Its core function is to convert invisible magnetic field physical quantities into readable electrical signal values. After obtaining the short-circuit information of the plate 5 through the gaussmeter, the camera can be used to take pictures to obtain the clamping position of the plate 5. For example, the plate 5 can include a conductive rod, and the second clamping assembly 323 can be clamped on the conductive rod.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, the transfer unit 32 includes: a robotic arm 321, a mounting base 322, and a second clamping assembly 323. The mounting base 322 is mounted on the free end of the robotic arm 321, and the second clamping assembly 323 is mounted on the mounting base 322. The second clamping assembly 323 is adapted to clamp the electrode plate 5.

[0065] For example, the robotic arm 321 can be a multi-axis robotic arm 321, such as a four-axis robotic arm 321 or a six-axis robotic arm 321. This application does not limit this. The robotic arm 321 can improve the flexibility of the transfer unit 32.

[0066] Mounting base 322 is mounted on the free end of robotic arm 321. For example, mounting base 322 can be rotatably mounted on the free end of robotic arm 321, so that the second clamping assembly 323 mounted on mounting base 322 can flexibly adjust the clamping angle of electrode plate 5, thereby better achieving the clamping of electrode plate 5 with good flexibility.

[0067] Other configurations and operations of the short-circuit plate processing equipment 100 for an electrolysis workshop according to embodiments of this application are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
