Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for moving from Contact bar hanging metal anode plates or metal anode rods in Electrolyte tanks through an anode slide, especially for electrolytic Coil finishing or coating systems.
- metallic tape e.g. Steel strip
- electrolytic Process continuously coated, e.g. tinned.
- the metal anode plates or the metal anode rods using a hook-like tool in the treatment area on both sides of the steel strip to be coated positioned.
- It is known to pack entire anodes by attacking a push rod to be moved mechanically or hydraulically on the last attached outer anode.
- the push rod is connected to a push device that is located approximately at the level of the anode heads and is transportable (DE-OS 23 23 788).
- the actuation of the pushing device i.e. the driving back and forth takes place still by an operator.
- the anodes are also attached still by hand.
- the anodes with the system running at full speed in a short time and without accident or Risk of damaging the belt.
- the anode package sufficiently accurate to the metal strip to be coated align and follow up during coating and e.g. the To change the coating thickness in the band edge area.
- the invention is based, regardless of the replenishment of the task new anode plates or anode rods, whole anode packages faster and position it more precisely.
- the object is achieved according to the invention in that the on the anode bench put on new anodes automatically in the area of the to be coated Band pushed and centered or staggered on both sides positioned in a controlled manner on the belt.
- This allows the entire anode package the number of new, unused anodes compared to the one to be coated Belt moved and moved to the most favorable coating position become.
- the entire anode package thus becomes the one to be coated Band aligned favorably.
- the position of the anode stack is no longer the same Handling dependent on the operator.
- the performance of the system can also be increased by using several Metal anode plates located at the contact bar can be moved simultaneously.
- the posed Object achieved according to the invention in that a beam crossbar is supported on both sides of the bridge bearing and that perpendicular and / or under one acute angle to the tape running direction by means of a drive several on the Metal anodes placed on the contact bar can be moved into the coating position are.
- This allows a controlled positioning of the anodes over the Bandwidth take place and the whole anode package can be adjusted.
- the entire set of anodes can be increased by the number of new, unused ones Anodes shifted in relation to the strip to be coated and in the cheapest Position.
- the beam crossbar is positioned next to one another the treatment tank arranged slidably supported bridge bearings and has rotatably mounted adjusting spindle, at one end of the adjusting spindle a drive motor attacks.
- the drive motor When rotating by the drive motor, the can be operated electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically, the beam crossbar pushed back and forth.
- the adjusting spindle and the pivot bearings and threaded nuts are surrounded by a base frame that even from a front travel frame and a rear travel frame Part lengths is surrounded.
- the adjusting spindle therefore remains in any position surrounded by the base frame and thus protected.
- Another improvement is that one located on the beam crossbar Hook into the rearmost used metal anode using a catch can be snapped into place.
- An increase in performance of the system is achieved in that the beam crossbar interacts with several contact bars running parallel to each other. A shift of the beam crossbar affects everyone on the contact beam metal anodes.
- the adjustment of the beam crossbar can be technically and economically favorable be carried out by using a single drive for the multiple contact bars Beam crossbar is provided.
- the buffers on the beam crossbar are electrically insulated and / or electrically isolated driver pawls are provided.
- the security of the functions can be further increased by the entire Beam crossbar is hung or stored in an electrically insulated manner.
- a beam crossbar 1 is formed, which is arranged at the ends Bridge bearings 2 and 3 is supported.
- the beam crossbar 1 runs vertically and / or at an acute angle to the tape running direction 4 (see FIG. 3) of the metal strip to be coated, in particular steel strip 5.
- the metal strip 5 is led around a current roller 6, so that the metal strip 5 between two rows of anodes (soluble metal anode plates or metal anode rods) continuously transported past becomes.
- the anodes 7 are located on a contact bar 8 and hang from it in an electrolyte tank 9 which is up to the liquid level 10 with electrolyte liquid is filled.
- the metal anodes 7 hang in the coating position 11, i.e. in a distance from the metal strip 5, which is electrolytically favorable.
- the beam crossbar 1 has sliding bearings 12 and 13 with pivot bearings 14 and 17, which together with threaded nuts 15 and 16 by means of an adjusting spindle 18 can be pushed out.
- the beam crossbar 1 forms a front and a rear at the ends Travel frame 19 and 20.
- the left travel frame 19 is in the rest position drawn and the right traversing frame 20 in the change position with a displacement path 21, which depends on the width ratio of the metal strip 5 is so that different widths can be treated.
- the displacement path 21 is carried out by means of a drive 22, which is on the adjusting spindle 18 stores and e.g. can consist of an electric rotary motor 22a.
- the adjusting spindle 18 and the rotary bearings 14 and 17 and the threaded nuts 15 and 16 are surrounded by a base frame 23, which itself is from the front Travel frame 19 and the rear travel frame 20 on the partial lengths shown 24 is surrounded.
- the anode slide 1a is on the front travel frame 19 attached.
- a hook 25 is also attached, which is a driver pawl 26 owns.
- the driver pawl 26 is in the last one or more used metal anodes 7 snap into place and these can then be pulled out become.
- the beam crossbar 1 can have a plurality of contact beams running parallel to one another 8 (as visible in Fig. 3). For several contact bars 8 is the Drive 22 is provided as the only drive that the beam crossbar 1 in total adjusted.
- the beam crossbar 1 On the beam crossbar 1 there are electrically insulated displacement buffers 27 and / or electrically isolated driver pawls 26 are provided. The entire beam crossbar 1 can be hung or stored in an electrically insulated manner his.
