Description

  The present invention relates to an electrodeposited metal transport apparatus and an electrodeposited metal transport method, and more specifically, when an electrodeposited metal purified by electrolytic smelting is stripped from a cathode plate, and the stripped electrodeposited metal is transported. The present invention relates to an electrodeposited metal conveying apparatus and an electrodeposited metal conveying method.

  Electrolytic smelting of metals using permanent cathodes (PC) by ISA, for example, electrolytic smelting of copper, includes a large number of stainless steel cathode plates (cathode plates) and crude copper in an electrolytic cell in which an electrolytic solution is stored. This is performed by electrodepositing electrolytic copper on both sides of the cathode plate by alternately immersing and energizing the anode plate (anode plate) in which is cast. Then, the electrolytic copper electrodeposited on the surface of the cathode plate is stripped off by a stripping device to obtain a product. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the cathode plate 1 is a plate-shaped material made of stainless steel, and a protector 5 made of synthetic resin is fitted on both side portions thereof, and a cross bar 4 is provided on the upper end portion. It has been. In addition, two windows 3 and 3 are provided at the lower part of the crossbar 4. By hooking the window plates 3 and 3 with a hook of an electrode plate conveying device (not shown), Removal and conveyance are performed. The cathode plate 1 made of stainless steel is widely used in recent years because it is strong and can be used repeatedly, and because it has good flatness, it is less likely to cause a short circuit during electrolytic smelting. And the electrolytic copper stripped off from both surfaces of the cathode plate 1 is transported by a transport device as a set of two sheets, flat press for ensuring flatness, and further to give unevenness like corrugated electrolytic copper Corrugation is performed and it will be provided as a product.

  For example, JP-A-2005-240146 (Patent Document 1) is known as a conventional electrolytic copper plate recovery system. This electrolytic copper plate recovery system includes a plywood carry-in portion into which a plywood with a SUS plate having electrolytic copper deposited on the surface is brought in, a cleaning device for cleaning these plywoods, and an electrolytic copper plate from the SUS plate. Joining the peeling device to peel off, the SUS unloading part for collecting the SUS plate after peeling, the defective product extracting part for picking up defective products that failed to peel off during the peeling process, and the electroplated copper plate after peeling Each of the apparatus includes: a bonding apparatus that performs loading, a loading apparatus that loads and holds the bonded copper sheets, a packing apparatus that packs the laminated copper sheets, and a copper plate carry-out unit that collects the packed copper sheets. Alternatively, a conveyance conveyor is provided between the carry-in / carry-out unit.

  Moreover, there exists Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 11-92986 (patent document 2) as another electrolytic copper conveyance system. This electrolytic copper transport system receives electrolytic copper obtained by electrolytic refining, sends it to the next process and temporarily retains it as needed, and receives the electrolytic copper after final processing and carries it out to the outside. And an unloading conveyor that temporarily stays as needed, and a conveying conveyor that takes out the unloaded copper of the receiving conveyor and conveys it to the unloading conveyor. Further, an electrolytic copper cleaning device for sequentially cleaning electrolytic copper conveyed by the conveyor is provided.

  However, in the conventional copper electroplating plate recovery system and copper electroplating apparatus, a belt type or chain type conveyor has been used to convey the electro copper. Therefore, there is a possibility that the stop position of the conveyor may be shifted unless the tension of the belt, the chain, etc. is always adjusted. In addition, there is a problem in that a pair of electrolytic copper placed on the conveyor may be displaced from each other or the electrical copper itself may be misaligned, and must be realigned each time. Therefore, the flat press and corrugation may be hindered, and the work load is large. Further, in the belt conveyor, the bolts of the apparatus itself may be loosened due to vibrations generated during the conveyance, and there is a problem that a burden is imposed on the maintenance of the entire conveyance apparatus.

  Therefore, the present invention prevents electrode copper from shifting or stopping position at the time of transport, and can eliminate the need for troublesome maintenance as in the case of a conventional transport device using a belt conveyor. It aims at providing a metal conveying apparatus and an electrodeposited metal conveying method.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention according to claim 1 is an electrodeposition metal transport device for stripping an electrodeposited metal purified by electrolytic smelting from a cathode plate and transporting the stripped electrodeposited metal. The electrodeposited metal stripped from the cathode plate and stacked in one set is transported by a walking beam transporting means.
The electrodeposited metal stripped from both sides of the cathode plate, for example, electrolytic copper, is stacked in pairs and conveyed by a walking beam type conveyor. There has been no example of focusing on walking beam type conveyors in the transport of electrodeposited metal in electrolytic smelting so far, and by adopting such transport means, it is possible to effectively prevent shifts in the stopping position and shifts in electrolytic copper itself. It becomes possible.

A continuous beam having no relay point is provided from the transfer start position to the transfer end position where flat press and corrugation ends and the transfer ends.
The walking beam type conveying means is formed by a continuous beam without providing a relay point. Therefore, a series of operations from the start of conveyance to the end of conveyance after finishing the flat press and corrugation is completed without any deviation.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention according to claim 3 is an electrodeposition metal transport method for stripping an electrodeposited metal purified by electrolytic smelting from a cathode plate and transporting the stripped electrodeposited metal. The stripped electrodeposited metals are stacked in pairs and transported by a walking beam transporting means.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention described in claim 4 is the electrodeposition metal transfer method according to claim 3, wherein the flat press and the corrugation from the transfer start position where the electrodeposited metal is placed and transfer starts. It is characterized in that it is transported by a walking beam type transport means having a continuous beam without a relay point until it reaches the transport end position where the transport is finished.

According to the electrodeposited metal conveying apparatus and the electrodeposited metal conveying method according to the present invention, the electrodeposited metal stripped from the both sides of the cathode plate by the walking beam type conveyor, for example, the electrodeposited copper is laminated in one set. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent the shift of the stop position and the shift of the electrolytic copper itself.
Moreover, according to the electrodeposited metal transport device and the electrodeposited metal transport method according to the present invention,
Since the walking beam type conveying means has a continuous beam without providing a relay point, a series of operations from the start of conveyance to the end of conveyance after finishing flat press and corrugation is completed without any deviation. There is an effect.
