Background technology
Zinc normally passes through electrowinning.In typical method, a plurality of metal sheet negative electrodes all are inserted into an independent electrolyzer respectively.This electrolyzer comprises a kind of chemical solution that contains zinc.Apply an electric field on this electrolyzer, zinc is deposited on this negative electrode until reaching this negative electrode and is immersed in height in the electrolyzer.Zinc forms a plate on negative electrode.The upper edge of this zine plate is on " metal line " of negative electrode, and negative electrode is immersed under this metal line in the zinc electrolyte.In order to obtain to be deposited over the zinc on the negative electrode, be necessary zine plate is separated from negative electrode.
This separation is finished by a kind of zine plate stripping machine typically.Usually, negative electrode is shifted out from electrolyzer, and deliver to the zinc stripping machine, stripping machine is peeled off zine plate from negative electrode.Negative electrode is sent back to electrolyzer so that stand electrolytic process once more then, simultaneously the zine plate of being stripped from is collected and is stored.
As time goes by, this zinc stripping machine will visibly damage negative electrode and make it to be not suitable for to continue on for electrolytic process.Because negative electrode can be recycled in electrolytic process, if the life-span of negative electrode is longer, then it is most economical.The frequency that negative electrode need be replaced is fast more, and then manufacturing cost is just high more.Like this, for the zinc producer, the burn into scratch of negative electrode and other damage are exactly a successive problem.
And, by the negative electrode in electrolyzer and anode between apply electric current and realize electrolytic process.Be that electromotive force between negative electrode and the anode causes zinc to be deposited on the negative electrode.When negative electrode and anode clean and when not having surface impurity, this electrochemical plating are the most effective.Such as, the dirt of cathode surface can have influence on electric current, and this electric current prevents that zinc from being electroplated the dirty zone on negative electrode.Thereby the zinc producer also has such problem, promptly needs to keep in an efficient way the negative electrode cleaning.
Another problem that zinc producer and their employee face is can produce sizable noise the process of collecting zinc from negative electrode.The machine that negative electrode itself, the zine plate of being peeled off from negative electrode and being used to are peeled off zine plate all is a metal.Like this, when these objects are in contact with one another repeatedly, just can produce a large amount of noises.
Some zinc extraction workshops are provided with fixed equipment and are used for peeling off zinc from negative electrode.This fixture usually is used in bigger workshop, and the cost of bigger here fixture is rational.And normally, fixture is suitable under the occasion that has sizable available space for the zinc extraction process.In a fixture, negative electrode is admitted to the input terminus of this fixed peel-off device usually, is moved through each parts of equipment then, and during this period, zine plate is stripped from and negative electrode is sent to the output terminal of this fixture.
Yet, there is such situation, it is uneconomic promptly having a fixed zine plate peel-off device.Also have such situation, floor space is limited can not to adopt a fixture to such an extent as to the zinc producer faces.In this case, a mobile zinc stripping off device is arranged preferably, it can move and be used to peel off the negative electrode adjacent with such electrolyzer between various not on the same group electrolyzers.
Canadian Patent No.2178776 discloses a kind of mobile automatic cathode stripping system.This system comprises a support, is used to support the negative electrode of a plurality of vertical hangings parallel to each other.This device also comprises a mechanism for stripping, and this mechanism is equipped with a balladeur train, is used for moving linearly along this support.This mechanism for stripping comprises a revolving arm component of peeling off of list.This assembly is provided with a pair of hoe scaler, and a hoe scaler is established in each side of each negative electrode, and they are below the top corner part of plate is wedged in zine plate.Cutter moves according to a camber line along the negative electrode below zine plate then, thereby zine plate is peeled off and allowed it to fall by gravity from negative electrode.Zine plate is moved to a collection box then, and when chest was filled, stacking was moved to another position to be picked up and to be transported by an elevator.On described balladeur train, be provided with a splash head, the described arm component of peeling off of this balladeur train carrying.The purpose that splash head is set is, after zine plate and aluminum cathode be stripped from, injection water on zine plate and aluminum cathode was to attempt to clean them.This splash head is suspended in the negative electrode top, with the downward injection water of 45.
Yet there are many defectives in the device described in Canadian Patent No.2178776.At first, each side of negative electrode is peeled off by a single cutter, and cutter crosses the whole vertical length of negative electrode.A kind of like this stripping means has unnecessarily corroded aluminum cathode, thereby has reduced their life-span.
Secondly, be effective especially automatically spraying water aspect the cleaning negative electrode.This is special ideal any impurity on being adhered to negative electrode.No matter how current wash away impurity, they all may trend towards sticking on the negative electrode.The 3rd, this device uses clumsiness and difficulty, because the zine plate that needs reception tank to receive to be stripped from.
United States Patent (USP) 5269897 discloses a kind of device that is used to peel off by the zinc of electrolytic deposition on aluminium sheet.This device comprises that a storage area that is used to store coated negative electrode, scraping area and one are used to store the storage area that removes the negative electrode of dezincify, and wherein negative electrode sequentially moves to next district from a district.Scraping area has the side cutting unit of a horizontal force, and the upper limb that it will deposit the plate of zinc separates with negative electrode, and with the shovel curette of a vertical effect, it is used to peel off all zine plates.The described side cutting unit that described upper limb is begun to insert below the zine plate separates.The head of cutting unit is adjusted then, they no longer are shelved on the negative electrode when separated with the remainder of convenient upper limb, thereby has reduced contacting between cutting unit and the negative electrode, and has reduced anticathode damage.
Yet, this disclosure of the Invention a kind of fixture, wherein negative electrode passes stripping off device.Thereby disclosed device is not suitable for the irrational situation of space cost limited or fixture in United States Patent (USP) 5269897.

Negative electrode 10 also comprises an insulator region 18.Because isolator is electroneutral, there is not zinc to adhere on this insulator region 18.Plate 12 has side 20,22 and base 24.In a preferred form of negative electrode, side 20,22 also is coated with a kind of isolator, but base 24 does not have.Like this, zinc just applies base 24 in electrolytic process, but does not apply side 20,22.The result forms a zine plate, and it has the shape of whole V-arrangement.Zine plate 17 has covered two the flat sides and the base 24 of plate 12, but does not cover side 20,22.
Referring now to Fig. 2-6,, the first step that zine plate 17 is peeled off from negative electrode 10 is, shifts out a plurality of negative electrodes 10 and place them on the cathode anchor 26 from electrolyzer.The size of cathode anchor 26, shape and position are designed to support negative electrode during peeling off.In this preferred embodiment, cathode anchor 26 comprises a successive notched beam 28 that is arranged on device one side, and on the another side, is provided with array of spaced vertical beam 30, has saddle or notch on it.The space that this structure allows a plurality of negative electrodes 10 to pass between the described vertical beam 30 is loaded on the cathode anchor 26 by side direction.
Notched beam 28 and vertical beam 30 are connected on the base 31.Base 31 plays the effect of pedestal of all component of device described here.
On cathode anchor 26 that negative electrode 10 is packed into, adopt a grabber (not shown) that negative electrode 10 is proposed from an electrolyzer.This grabber is caught the carrying hook 16 of each negative electrode 10, and negative electrode 10 is assembled into cathode anchor 26 with 15 one.
The size of the groove of notched beam 28 and vertical beam 30 and interval are designed to, and an end of support bar 14 is seated in the notch of described notched beam 28 securely, and other end is seated in the notch of a vertical beam 30 securely.Thereby each negative electrode 10 is maintained on the correct position.
In this preferred embodiment, on described cathode anchor 26, be provided with 30 cathode can.When negative electrode 10 was loaded into cathode anchor 26, they preferably were loaded into every a groove.If the negative electrode 10 of being stripped from has been housed on the cathode anchor 26, the new negative electrode 10 that then will be stripped from can be loaded into cathode anchor 26, and after this those negative electrodes of being stripped from 10 can be removed immediately.Thereby, negative electrode 10 is contained in every a trough can effectively utilizes machine on the cathode anchor 26 and be used for pack into cathode anchor 26 and therefrom take out required labor force of negative electrode 10.Other structure that should be understood that cathode anchor 26 is for a person skilled in the art also comprised by the present invention.Neededly provide a kind of cathode anchor 26, its size, shape and position are applicable to supports negative electrode during peeling off.
Then, negative electrode 10 is stripped from machine 32 and is peeled off.This stripping machine 32 comprises the vertical shovel curette 36 with of a side stripper 34.This side stripper 34 is by 38 supportings of a stripper balladeur train, and shovel curette 36 is by 39 supportings of a shovel curette balladeur train.Two balladeur trains 38 and 39 can be bearing on two carriage rails 40 and 42 movably, and two guide rails are connected on the base 31.
Should be understood that balladeur train 38,39 can be crossed on the carriage rail, perhaps is crossed on more than on two the carriage rail.Yet two carriage rails are preferred because this constitutional balance enough stability is provided will for balladeur train 38 and don't take too many spatial demand.
Should be understood that stripper 34 and shovel curette 36 can be supported by any carriage assembly that can allow them correctly to move.Yet the structure ( balladeur train 38,39 is as above-mentioned carriage assembly) with two balladeur trains is preferred for a single balladeur train, because it makes device less, supposes that stripper 34 and shovel curette 36 are isolating (that is, the shovel curette drag stripper).
Stripping machine 32 is operated in the following manner.Balladeur train 38 moves to a position that is adjacent to each negative electrode that is hanging along cathode anchor 26, and here, side stripper 34 and shovel curette 36 are peeled off each negative electrode 10 successively.For each negative electrode 10, the fs of peeling off is finished by side stripper 34.
The structure of side stripper 34 is described with reference to Fig. 8 to 15 below.
At first referring to Fig. 8 to 12, the side stripper is made up of two identical horizontal-arms, and its mark is 224 and 225, is installed into to vertically move along a worktable 226.These arms are connected to a rear portion and activate on the hydro-cylinder 227, and their front end is the stripper head 228 of wedge shape, and stripper head 228 is determined vertical tapered edge 229.Stripper 34 is positioned at one on the position of one of negative electrode on the cathode anchor 26, and in this way, arm 224 and 225 just are positioned on each side that an arm is positioned at a negative electrode 10.Stripper 34 also is on such height, and promptly arm 224 and 225 tapered edge 229 are on the height of upper limb of the zine plate 17 that is adhered on the negative electrode 10.
As shown in Figures 8 to 10, the piston rod of hydro-cylinder 227 is connected on one horizontal 230, and this laterally is connected on arm 224 and 225 end of head.This head has a lower lobes 231, and this projection 231 can move along a longitudinal slipway 232 that is formed on the worktable 226.For vertically moving of guid arm 224 and 225, the rear portion roller 234 that also is provided with fixed longitudinal rail 233 on the worktable 226 and rotates freely.
Shown in Fig. 8,9 and 12, being installed on the front portion of worktable 226 is two side push rods, their actuating arms 224 mutually against.Each push rod is made up of a bar 235, and its end 236 is connected on the point of fixity, and the other end has a roller that rotates freely 237, and this roller 237 is rested on the contiguous arm.Acting on the bar 235 is a right cylinder 238, and its effect is to make arm 224 and 225 approaching mutually.
Shown in Fig. 8,9,14 and 15, worktable 226 forms an expansion section s in its previous section, from its upper surface, is formed with a skew or groove 239, and a carriage 240 wherein is installed.This carriage 240 is made up of a planar member, and its width approximates the width of groove 239 greatly, but length is short a little, so that this planar member is limited in its top by two transverse separators 241, the length of described partition member is greater than the width of carriage 240.From transverse side, carriage 240 has two end face blind holes 242, and compression spring 243 wherein is housed, spring 243 rested on hole 239 than on the shortwall.These elements play the effect of the aligning parts of carriage 240.
Slotted hole 244 in the middle of the upper surface of carriage 240 has two, each slotted hole opens wide towards a vertical side of carriage 240.Slotted hole 244 staggers on the longitudinal direction of carriage 240 each other a little in the middle of these two.Each slotted hole 244 has a centralizer 245.Each centralizer is made up of such part, equals, has the width length that rectangular profile and width be substantially equal to slotted hole 244 and lack than their length but it shows slightly.Since a side that makes progress, described centralizer 245 has a blind hole, and a compression spring 247 wherein is housed, and this spring rests on the relative wall of slotted hole 244.Between their big surface, centralizer 245 also has a boring 248, is used to install a roller that rotates freely 249 (Figure 10 and 11), and roller 249 is used to adjust arm 224 and 225 separate, and will be described below.
The position of centralizer 245 also can be adjusted by means of a screw rod 250, and this screw rod 250 passes hole 251 on the transverse side of carriage 240 and outwards outstanding by hole on the wall that slotted hole 239 is limited on the worktable or opening.Being installed on the end of partition member 241 of carriage 240 is right cylinder 238, and right cylinder 238 acts on the bar 235 so that arm is moved together.
Shown in Figure 11 and 13, arm 224 and 225 lower surface and adjacent side have scarcement or recessed step 252, and the described roller that rotates freely 249 wherein is housed, and the external vertical wall 253 of these scarcements are defined as the roller track of roller 249.These scarcements 252 change along cross section 254 width, cause edge 229 its distance that axially staggers that becomes, and this distance equals the spacing between roller 249.As shown in Figure 8, roller 249 acts on the track of relative arm.
In this structure, act on the negative electrode in order to make arm 224 and 225, and from position shown in Figure 8, two arms begin to move, and hydro-cylinder 238 does not activated, and becoming up to the side 229 of described arm is positioned on the plate 12, in the edge of plate, arm on the side.At this moment, hydro-cylinder 238 activated, and arm 224 and 225 moves together by this way, and promptly edge 229 is supported on the surface of negative electrode.Maximum spacing between the arm 224 and 225 can be adjusted by screw rod 250.From then on the position forward, the side 229 of arm begins to scrape off the zine plate that is deposited on the negative electrode 10.In this advanced process, when roller 249 arrived the ramp 254 of track 253, wherein these rollers were supported on the track 253, and arm 224 and 225 is separated in such a way a little, and promptly the leading flank 229 of these arms no longer is shelved on the surface of negative electrode 10.Like this, below edge 229 enters into zine plate 17 after, roller 249 just plays the effect of moving member or offset member so that 228 remove or offset from negative electrode.From then on, just can realize advancing fast of arm 224 and 225, make that zine plate is separated and do not have the surface of scratch negative electrode.The a certain moment during the process that described arm moves along negative electrode, wherein can adjust according to hope, the action of hydro-cylinder 238 can be stopped, and spring 247 presses against on the part 245, forces arm 224 and opens in 225 minutes.
Because the effect of spring 243 and 247 can realize the self-centering of arm 224 and 225 on negative electrode, even when these scrapers begin to depart from negative electrode.
Employing makes arm 224 and 225 centering and makes them move to the device that is close together, and in fact can be implemented in the correct operation on the negative electrode, in order to the top of zinc settled layer is peeled off and prevent that negative electrode from corrosion or damage taking place.
In case the upper limb 56,58 of zine plate 17 is divested on the slave plate 12, side stripper 34 just is moved back into its starting position, and balladeur train 38 moves so that allow side stripper 34 to operate on negative electrode 10 subsequently along cathode anchor 26.Simultaneously, shovel curette 36 is supported on the balladeur train 39 so that its side stripper 34 in tow.
When balladeur train 39 has moved to a position, be located immediately on the negative electrode 10 at this position shovel curette 36, side stripper 34 has acted on this negative electrode, shovels curette 36 actions then so that zine plate 17 is peeled off from negative electrode 10 fully, and is as described below.
Fig. 7 at length shows this process.The upper limb 56,58 of zine plate 17 is by curved opening on side stripper 34 slave plates 12.Shoveling curette 36 then moves down as shown in the figure and enters the broad gap that is generated.
Shovel curette 36 comprises that two shovel scraping arm 60,62 and two shovels scrape 64,66, one shovels and scrape the side that head is used for zine plate.When shovel scraping arm 60,62 when moving down, shovel scrape separated upper limb 56,58 that a tip of 64,66 enters into zine plate 17 below.When shovel scraping arm 60,62 when further advancing downwards, shovel is scraped 64,66 and is just contacted and force zine plate 17 disengaging plates 12 with the inside of zine plate 17.Shovel scraping arm 60,62 is moved downward up to whole zine plate 17 and strips down on by slave plate 12.
Shovel is scraped a position of 64,66 and preferably is designed to, and they do not press or even contact plate 12 when they are advanced downwards.This position can greatly be reduced plate 12 and will be swiped or scratch and bring physically impaired danger.By upper limb 56,58 by on side stripper 34 slave plates 12 separately so that form a practical work that wide gap is such, make that this position is set becomes possibility.Like this, shovel scrapes 64,66 can engage and peel off zine plate 17, scrapes 64,66 contact plate 12 and need not shovel.
In this preferred embodiment, shovel is scraped 64,66 and is had round edge 68,70 and be used to contact zine plate 17, so as to make zine plate 17 tear or similar damage minimizes.And, preferably, to scrape an inboard of 64,66 at shovel and be provided with a stainless steel brush 72,74, they are installed to each shovel and scrape on 64,66.Size, shape and the position of described stainless steel brush 72,74 are designed to, and scrape 64,66 when shovel and move down and when peeling off zine plate 17, can brush negative electrode.When zine plate 17 was stripped from, brush 72,74 and then shovel was scraped an edge 68,70 of 64,66, and their brush boards 12.When shovel curette 36 is lifted once more so that when preparing to peel off next negative electrode 10, brush 72,74 is brush board 12 once more.The position of brush 72,74 preferably, a side of each brush 72,74 brush board 12.
Preferably, shovel is scraped 64,66 a whole width extension along plate 12.This has two benefits.The first, if power is applied on the zine plate 17 equably, then can finishes most effectively and peel off, this has reduced, and zine plate will be torn or the expansible possibility.The second, be installed in brush 72,74 on 64,66 inside and can cross over plate 12 and fully extend, thereby provide plate 12 is cleaned more completely.Should be appreciated that also the wedging force that is used to peel off zine plate 17 provides a power in place to brush, making has good cleaning contact.
Although those skilled in the art will appreciate that above-mentioned stripping machine is preferred for the reason that provides, also can adopt other stripping machine in the present invention.The most important thing is that device comprises a stripping machine 32 that is connected to movably on the base 31, it can be peeled off zine plate 17 effectively from negative electrode 10.This stripping machine 32 should move with respect to the ground 76 be located in of device, and can move with respect to cathode anchor 26, on cathode anchor 26 time, allows stripping machine to peel off these negative electrodes 10 with convenient negative electrode 10.
By after negative electrode 10 is peeled off, they are fallen on the straight sheet pile transfer roller 78 at zine plate 17, and its position is configured to receive the zine plate 17 of being stripped from.Straight sheet pile transfer roller 78 preferably comprises a conveying belt 80, and conveying belt is operably connected on a pair of drive shaft 82, and these axle rotations drive conveying belt 80.
The zine plate 17 of preferably being stripped from as shown in Figure 2, has the shape of a kind of " V " shape or " taco ".When zine plate 17 contact conveying belt 80, because of motion zine plate 17 common can and being transported to stacker 84 by lateral tilt of conveying belt 80, wherein this stacker is connected on the base 31.
When conveying belt 80 was transported to stacker 84 with zine plate 17, zine plate 17 preferably was driven plain and for to prepare by passing below pinch rollers 86.Pinch rollers 86 is connected on the base 31 and is positioned at the end of conveying belt 80, just in time is positioned at the top of conveying belt 80.Pinch rollers 86 allows zine plate 17 to advance to stacker 84, but simultaneously, when they are transported to stacker 84 by conveying belt 80, zine plate 17 is flattened (that is " V " shape of pressing, " V " shape zine plate).
Although it is preferred should be known in this structure of straight sheet pile transfer roller 78, it is not essential to the invention.On the contrary, any straight sheet pile transfer roller 78 that zine plate 17 can be transported to stacker 84 all is enough, as long as the zine plate 17 of being stripped from is convenient to receive in the position of straight sheet pile transfer roller 78 when zine plate 17 is stripped from.
Preferably a kind of bottom-up stacker of described straight sheet pile transfer roller 84 promptly, is applicable to by a kind of bottom-up clamp method to form a stacking 88.This method is preferred, because it has saved the occupation of land space of equipment, thereby permission equipment has less " footprint ".In the top-down stacking, zine plate 17 must be transported to the top of stacking.This just must use bigger occupation of land space, because for plate tiltedly upwards being transported to over the ground the top of stacking, conveying belt 80 will need to extend further.On the contrary, adopt bottom-up clamp method, only need zine plate 17 is transported to the bottom of stacking 88, thereby shortened the desired length of conveying belt 80 and made stripping off device present littler whole occupations of land space.
In this preferred embodiment, described stacker comprises a stacking grasper, and its form is a pair of arm 90,92 with hook portion 94,96, is used for from following promptly stacking 88.This stacker preferably also comprises a lift 98, and it is connected on base 31 and the arm 90,92.
In order to realize bottom-up stacking, arm 90,92 promptly is raised the stacking 88 that machine 98 promotes.A new zine plate 17 that adds is transferred and is with 80 to be transported to stacker 84 then, lift 98 reduces and stacking 88 is placed on the zine plate 17 of this new interpolation then, arm 90,92 is opened stacking 88 is discharged on the zine plate 17 of this new interpolation, and arm 90,92 closes up below the zine plate 17 of this new interpolation once more.Thereby should just be added in the stacking 88 by the new zine plate 17 that adds.
The plate that newly adds should be known in that this clamp method may be littler than the noise of top-down clamp method, because in stacker from up to down, will have the mode of noise to fall on the already present stacking with a kind of generation usually.On the contrary, in this preferred embodiment, stacking is placed on the zine plate that (not falling) newly add, and stacking comprises that the plate of up-to-date increase is picked up once more then.
And arm 90,92 preferably is rotatably connected on the base 31, preferably by a rotatable stacking arbor 100.This rotatable stacking arbor 100, with arm 90,92, as a stacking turner, its can with stacking around vertical stacking axis, at a plane internal rotation that is in substantially parallel relationship to ground 76 until about 180 °.In this preferred embodiment, described rotatable stacking arbor 100 is connected on the base 31 at a point above the stacking 88, thereby when axle 100 rotations, stacking 88 is just at a plane internal rotation that is roughly parallel to ground 76.
Usually, when more plate 17 was added on the stacking 88, it is highly inhomogeneous that stacking 88 will be attempted to become on its width.Particularly, when more plate 17 was added, the side of the residing stacking 88 of the blind end of plate 17 will be on the different height with residing side, the open end of plate 17.An one reason is that in electrolytic process, zinc attempts to flow to a little the bottom of negative electrode 10.Like this, when zine plate 17 was added on the stacking 88, it may little by little become and tilt more and instability.Yet, when stacking is finished a half by rotation stacking 88, stacking 88 just can balance and maintenance more stable.For this purpose, preferably, device comprises a stacking turner, and preferably it comprises above-mentioned stacking turner.
And device preferably includes a stacking that is connected on the base and shifts out platform 102.In this preferred embodiment, arm 90,92 can move to this stacking along base 31 toward ground return and shift out platform 102, shifts out platform 102 so that arm 90,92 can be transplanted on this stacking with a completed stacking 88.
In order to prepare the space for next stacking, stacking 88 is placed in stacking and shifts out on the platform 102, is moved out of to allow stacking 88.In this preferred embodiment, this stacking shifts out platform and has one first lift trunk and one second lift trunk.Preferably, first and second lift trunks comprise first and second pairs of cavities 104,106, are used to receive the crotch of an elevator.If it is limited that equipment takes up an area of the space, two lift passages then is set just provides bigger retractility for loading.Like this, in the space of a compactness, just might there be the space to be used for making an elevator near first lift trunk.Yet, one second lift trunk is set has just formed another route, by this passage, elevator can arrive the stacking that will be moved out of.Preferably, the right angle is arranged to roughly be in the position in described two pairs of cavities 104,106, so that this elevator can arrive stacking 88 from the end of device or from the side of installing.
