Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model patent belongs to the technical field of anode plate processing equipment, specifically relating to a welding and hoisting frame for manufacturing unconventional large-scale copper electrowinning anode plates. Background Technology
[0002] To improve resource utilization, the electrolytic residue from current wet copper smelting processes is treated and then used for waste liquid reduction electrolysis to extract metallic copper via anode and cathode plates. Currently, the copper electrowinning anode plates used by metallurgical enterprises are approximately 1000mm-1500mm long (including beam height), 650mm-1000mm wide, and 5-12mm thick, with a typical weight of 65-120kg per plate. To increase current density and improve metal electrowinning recovery efficiency, the inventors designed an unconventional large-scale copper electrowinning anode plate with a width of approximately 2100mm, a length of 2500mm, a thickness of 10mm, a beam diameter of 2765mm, a single-sided area of 5.25㎡, and a weight exceeding 660kg. While this anode plate generates an ultra-high density current environment for the electrolytic residue, its excessive size—exceeding the width of current rolling equipment in all rolled anode plate processing industries—makes it impossible to roll a single sheet in one operation. Furthermore, its excessive length causes bending and deformation during transport. Therefore, the inventor combined and welded two identical plates together. However, because the plates were too large and heavy, a special tooling platform was needed to avoid weld tearing and bending deformation during lifting.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model proposes a welding and hoisting frame for manufacturing unconventional large-scale copper electrowinning anode plates. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention aims to provide a welding and hoisting frame for manufacturing unconventional large-scale copper electrodeposition anode plates. This device enables stable support and precise hoisting of unconventional large-scale copper electrodeposition anode plates during the welding process. It meets the requirement of manufacturing unconventional large-scale anode plates using a two-in-one welding process combining two plates, solving the problem that existing equipment cannot handle the processing of such large plates.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a welding and hoisting frame for manufacturing unconventional large copper electrowinning anode plates, comprising a type 7 welding table, a base, universal wheels with brakes, and an electrode plate positioning and hoisting frame. The type 7 welding table is fixedly installed on the welding site and has an extended welding platform at its upper end. The base is movable and placed under the welding platform of the type 7 welding table via universal wheels with brakes installed at its bottom. The electrode plate positioning and hoisting frame is placed on the base.
[0006] Preferably, the electrode plate positioning and hoisting frame further includes a positioning frame, a hoisting frame, plates, and conductive beams. The hoisting frame is detachably installed at the front end of the positioning frame via a bolt-screw hole structure. Two identical plates are detachably installed in the positioning frame. A conductive beam welded to the top of the two plates can be placed in the beam groove provided on the hoisting frame.
[0007] Preferably, the positioning frame further includes a slatted base, a positioning groove, a positioning pressure plate, a rotating shaft, and a spring limiter. The top of the slatted base is provided with a positioning groove for positioning the plate material. Positioning pressure plates are rotatably installed on the slatted base on both sides of the positioning groove via the rotating shaft. Spring limiters are installed at the front and rear ends of the positioning pressure plates and the upper side of the slatted base. A rubber pad is provided on the lower side of the positioning pressure plate.
[0008] Preferably, the front end of the metric base frame is provided with an installation groove corresponding to the rear end mounting clip of the hoisting frame, and the bottom of the metric base frame is provided with a welding groove for repairing the weld seam on the lower surface of the plate. A pad block is detachably installed in the welding groove, and a solid-liquid groove is provided in the center of the pad block for receiving and shaping the molten metal flowing between the two plates when welding the plate.
[0009] Preferably, the top side of the hoisting frame is provided with a hoisting ring for hoisting, and the upper side of the hoisting frame is provided with a beam groove for receiving the crossbeam. The detachable hoisting frame is used to remove the hoisting frame after the electrode plate is flipped over, so that the anode plate and the conductive crossbeam on the reverse side can be welded.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention achieves stable support, precise positioning, flexible lifting, and high-quality welding of unconventional large copper electrowinning anode plates through the rational design of a type 7 welding table, base, braked casters, and electrode plate positioning and lifting frame. The type 7 welding table provides a stable welding platform, while the braked casters ensure convenient and reliable base movement. The meter-shaped base of the electrode plate positioning and lifting frame enhances load-bearing capacity, and the positioning groove and positioning pressure plate ensure precise positioning and stable clamping of the plates. The welding groove and pads optimize the welding process and improve weld quality. The lifting ring design of the lifting frame ensures stable and safe lifting, and the detachable structure facilitates welding operations after the electrode plates are flipped. The overall device is compact and easy to operate, effectively solving the problems of difficult lifting and transfer and low welding quality caused by the excessive size and weight of unconventional large anode plates. It provides reliable tooling support for the "two-in-one" welding process of unconventional large copper electrowinning anode plates, helping to increase the single copper electrowinning yield and improve the production efficiency and resource utilization of metallurgical enterprises.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Example 1
[0014] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the existing technology in this embodiment has the following problems: Currently, the inventor welds two identical plates together. However, because the plates are too large and heavy, in order to avoid weld tearing and bending deformation of the plate surface during lifting, it is necessary to make a special tooling platform for lifting, transferring and welding.
[0015] Therefore, the inventor provides a welding and hoisting frame for manufacturing unconventional large copper electrowinning anode plates, including a type 7 welding table, a base, casters with brakes, and an electrode plate positioning and hoisting frame 4. The type 7 welding table is fixedly installed on the welding site and has an extended welding platform at its upper end. The base can be moved and placed under the welding platform of the type 7 welding table by means of casters with brakes installed at its bottom. The electrode plate positioning and hoisting frame 4 is placed on the base.
[0016] The principle and effect of the above-mentioned further scheme are as follows: The Type 7 welding station, fixedly installed on the welding site, provides a stable operating foundation for welding unconventional large copper electrowinning anode plates. Its extended welding platform can adapt to the size of the anode plate, allowing the welder to get closer to the welding point and ensuring sufficient operating space during welding. The base is equipped with braked casters, allowing it to move flexibly according to welding and hoisting needs. When a fixed position is required, the braking function effectively prevents the base from sliding, ensuring operational safety. The electrode plate positioning and hoisting frame 4, placed on the base, provides precise positioning and stable hoisting of the unconventional large anode plate, preventing bending and deformation due to the excessive size and weight of the plate during hoisting and transfer. It also provides reliable support for the "two-to-one" welding of two plates, helping to reduce weld gaps and improve welding quality.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the plate positioning and hoisting frame 4 also includes a positioning frame, a hoisting frame 4, a plate 1, and a conductive crossbeam 2. The hoisting frame 4 is detachably installed at the front end of the positioning frame via a bolt-screw hole structure 3. Two identical plates 1 are detachably installed in the positioning frame. The conductive crossbeam 2, which is welded to the top of the two plates 1, can be placed in the beam groove 17 provided on the hoisting frame 4.
[0018] The principle and effect of the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: This structure uses a positioning frame to accurately position the two plates 1, ensuring the relative position of the plates 1 is stable during welding and avoiding weld gaps caused by misalignment; the design of the positioning frame and the hoisting frame 4 can effectively support the plates 1 and the conductive beam 2 during lifting, distributing the weight and preventing the plates from bending and deforming due to uneven stress. The detachable bolt-screw hole connection improves the stability of the connection between the positioning frame and the hoisting frame 4, and users can use an electric wrench for quick assembly and disassembly, enhancing the versatility of the device.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning frame further includes a slatted base 5, a positioning groove 6, a positioning pressure plate 7, a rotating shaft 8, and a spring limiter 9. The slatted base 5 has a positioning groove 6 on its upper part for positioning the plate 1. The positioning pressure plate 7 is rotatably mounted on the slatted base 5 on both sides of the positioning groove 6 via the rotating shaft 8. The positioning pressure plate 7 has spring limiters 9 installed at its front and rear ends and on the upper side of the slatted base 5. The positioning pressure plate 7 has a rubber pad 10 on its lower side.
[0020] The principle and effect of the above-mentioned further scheme are as follows: The design of the metric base frame 5 in this structure can significantly enhance the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the positioning frame, stably support the weight of the unconventional large anode plate, and prevent the base frame from deforming due to excessive force. The positioning groove 6 can initially limit the position of the two plates 1 to be welded, ensuring that the plates 1 are in the preset splicing position before welding, laying the foundation for subsequent precise welding. The positioning pressure plate 7 is rotatably installed on the metric base frame 5 through the rotating shaft 8. After the plate 1 is placed in the positioning groove 6, the positioning pressure plate 7 can be rotated to press it on the surface of the plate 1. Then, the front and rear ends of the positioning pressure plate 7 are fixed to the metric base frame 5 by the spring limit clip 9. The elastic force of the rubber pad 10 makes the positioning pressure plate 7 apply continuous and uniform pressure to the plate 1, further preventing the plate 1 from shifting during the welding process, ensuring the tightness of the weld joint, and thus reducing the generation of weld gaps.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the front end of the metric base frame 5 is provided with an installation groove 12 corresponding to the rear end mounting clip 11 of the hoisting frame 4, and the bottom of the metric base frame 5 is provided with a welding groove 13 for repairing the weld seam on the lower surface of the plate 1. A pad 14 is detachably installed in the welding groove 13, and a solid-liquid groove 15 is provided in the center of the pad 14 for receiving and shaping the molten metal flowing between the two plates 1 when welding the plate 1.
[0022] The principle and effect of the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: In this structure, the mounting groove 12 at the front end of the M-shaped base frame 5 cooperates with the mounting clip 11 at the rear end of the hoisting frame 4. Combined with the bolt-screw hole structure 3 and a commonly used electric wrench, the positioning frame and the hoisting frame 4 can be quickly connected and accurately installed, ensuring a stable connection between the two during hoisting and welding, and avoiding relative displacement that could affect the positioning accuracy of the plate 1. The welding groove 13 at the bottom provides operating space for welding the weld seam on the lower surface of the plate 1. After the overall pole plate positioning hoisting frame 4 is flipped over, the welding operator can directly perform supplementary welding work on the splice of the lower surface of the plate 1 through the welding groove 13, without having to remove the plate 1 for flipping. This improves the convenience of operation and reduces the risk of deformation of the plate 1 caused by flipping. The detachable support block 14 in the welding tank 13 has a solid-liquid groove 15 at its center. This groove can effectively receive the molten metal flowing from between the two plates 1 when the plate 1 is being welded. The solid-liquid groove 15 shapes the molten metal, making the distribution of molten metal at the weld more uniform, reducing welding defects such as porosity and slag inclusions, and further improving the welding quality. The detachable design also makes it easy to clean and replace the support and shaping components, ensuring their continued effective performance. Furthermore, the detachable design makes it easier for the welding technician to repair the weld on the lower surface of the plate 1 from the welding tank 13 after flipping the plate.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the top side of the hoisting frame 4 is provided with a hoisting ring 16 for hoisting, and the upper side of the hoisting frame 4 is provided with a beam groove 17 for receiving the crossbeam. The detachable hoisting frame 4 is used to remove the hoisting frame 4 after the electrode plate is flipped over, so as to weld the anode plate 1 and the conductive crossbeam 2 on the reverse side.
[0024] The principle and effect of the above-mentioned further scheme are as follows: A pair of lifting rings 16 on the top side of the structure provide a connection point for the overall lifting of the electrode plate positioning and lifting frame 4. This allows for the smooth transfer of unconventional large anode plates in conjunction with lifting equipment. The position design of the lifting rings 16, based on stress analysis, ensures the stability of the center of gravity of the electrode plate positioning and lifting frame 4 and the loaded plate 1 during lifting, preventing tilting or swaying. The upper beam groove 17 is used to support the conductive crossbeam 2, providing positioning for the conductive crossbeam 2 before welding, ensuring accurate welding position with the tops of the two plates 1, and improving welding precision. The design of the lifting frame 4 allows for easy removal of the electrode plate after it is flipped. At this time, the plate 1 on the positioning frame is exposed, allowing the welder to directly weld the anode plate joint and the conductive crossbeam 2 on the reverse side without secondary transfer or complex fixing adjustments of the plate 1. This simplifies the flipping welding process and further improves overall welding efficiency.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model: In actual operation, the base is first moved to the underside of the welding platform of the 7-type welding table using the universal casters with brakes, and the brakes are locked. Then, the plate positioning and lifting frame 4 is placed on the base. Next, the two plates 1 to be welded are placed into the positioning slots 6 of the M-shaped base frame 5 of the positioning frame. The positioning pressure plates 7 on both sides of the positioning slot 6 are rotated to press them against the surface of the plate 1. The front and rear ends of the positioning pressure plates 7 are then fixed to the M-shaped base frame 5 by the spring limit clips 9. The elastic force of the rubber pads 10 is used to apply continuous and uniform pressure to the plate 1, completing the initial positioning and clamping of the plate 1. After that, the conductive beam 2 is placed in the beam groove 17 on the upper side of the lifting frame 4, ensuring that it corresponds to the welding position on the top of the two plates 1. The welding operator first welds the splice on the upper surface of the plate 1 and the conductive beam 2. During the welding process, the pad 14 in the welding groove 13 will receive and shape the flowing molten metal. After the upper surface welding is completed, the electrode positioning and lifting frame 4 is flipped over using lifting equipment, and the lifting frame 4 is removed. The weld seam on the lower surface of the plate 1 is supplemented by welding through the welding groove 13. Then, the splicing joint of the anode plate and the conductive beam 2 on the reverse side are directly welded. The entire process does not require secondary transfer or complex fixing and adjustment of the plate 1, realizing efficient and precise welding of unconventional large copper electrolytic anode plates. After welding, the electrode positioning and lifting frame 4 can be lifted up to make it vertical. Then, the electrode positioning and lifting frame 4 is opened, and the anode plate is lifted by lifting equipment or forklift through the conductive beam 2 to the electrode plate support in the warehouse or to the electrolytic cell.
