銅の電気精錬など、金属の電気精錬では、カソード板および陽極銅などの陽極金属からなる鋳造アノード板を交互に電解槽に浸漬させ、例えば純度99.99％の銅など、ほぼ純粋な金属をカソード板の表面にて採取する。このような鋳造アノード板を製造するには、溶融陽極金属をアノード炉にて生産し、溶融陽極金属をアノード炉からアノード鋳造装置の鋳造台に配列されたアノード鋳型に流し込む。鋳造アノード板を、アノード鋳造装置の鋳造台のアノード鋳型から冷却タンクに移し、冷却タンクの冷却空間に収容されている冷却液によって冷却タンクの冷却空間にて鋳造アノード板を冷却し、一式の鋳造アノード板を作成して冷却タンクの冷却空間から取り出し、当該一式の鋳造アノード板の各鋳造アノード板をさらに処理する。   In metal electrorefining, such as copper electrorefining, a cathode plate and an anode plate made of anode metal, such as anode copper, are alternately immersed in an electrolytic cell, and an almost pure metal such as 99.99% pure copper is used as the cathode plate. Collect on the surface. In order to manufacture such a cast anode plate, molten anode metal is produced in an anode furnace, and the molten anode metal is poured from the anode furnace into an anode mold arranged on a casting table of an anode casting apparatus. The casting anode plate is moved from the anode mold of the casting table of the anode casting apparatus to the cooling tank, and the casting anode plate is cooled in the cooling space of the cooling tank by the coolant stored in the cooling space of the cooling tank, and a set of castings An anode plate is created and removed from the cooling space of the cooling tank, and each cast anode plate of the set of cast anode plates is further processed.

An element that at least partially corrects a position error that may occur in the moving anode is attached to the coupling portion of the gripping element.

問題となるのは、一式の鋳造アノード板の冷却タンクからの移送である。一式の鋳造アノード板の重量は数千キログラム、例えば約5000kgにもなることがあるため、一式の鋳造アノード板は、持上げ装置を用いて、冷却タンクの冷却空間から、例えば、フォークリフト車によって一式の鋳造アノード板を容易に持ち上げ可能な位置まで持ち上げできることが望ましいであろう。   The problem is the transfer of a set of cast anode plates from the cooling tank. Since a set of cast anode plates can weigh thousands of kilograms, for example about 5000 kg, the set of cast anode plates can be lifted from the cooling space of the cooling tank using a lifting device, for example by a forklift truck. It would be desirable to be able to lift the cast anode plate to a position where it can be easily lifted.
