Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application This invention receives a seed plate (electrodeposited metal plate) separated from both surfaces of a mother plate (cathode plate) and transferred, and loads and stacks it in a container. The present invention relates to a loading device for a storage electrolysis seed plate.

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional device, a seed plate, which is dropped by rotating a receiving plate, is placed horizontally on the receiving plate and placed in the receiving plate. It is like this. Therefore, the falling seed plate is apt to receive air resistance, and the seed plate always shifts to the left or right or front and rear in the container, which causes a problem that the seed plates cannot be properly stored in the container.

In addition, since copper that swells during deposition adheres to the peripheral edge of the seed plate, there is a problem in that, when the copper is piled up and stored in a container, it is bulky due to the enormous copper portion and a large number of seed plates cannot be loaded. It was

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems and allows the seed plate to be dropped straight from the receiving plate to accurately and satisfactorily perform integrated storage in the container and also to load a large number of seed plates into the container. It is an object of the present invention to provide a loading device that can be stored in.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pair of receiving plates for receiving and mounting a horizontally transferred seed plate between the opposite edges of the receiving plates. The seed plate is rotatably provided with an interval such that the center portion of the placed seed plate is recessed. Provided below the receiving plate is a container for stacking and accommodating seed plates that fall from the gap that expands due to rotation of the receiving plate, and presses the seed plates accumulated and stored in the container above the receiving plate. A pressing member is provided so as to be vertically movable.

In the above, it is preferable that a mounting table for mounting the falling seed plate is provided on the container so as to be able to move up and down.

When the seed plate is placed on the pair of receiving plates, the placed seed plate is in a state in which the central portion thereof is recessed downward due to the distance between the edges of the receiving plates. When the receiving plate is rotated in such a state, the seed plate falls while being bent at the center portion, which is recessed from the space expanded by the rotation, at the head. Therefore, the seed plate has low air resistance, and falls straight down and is accumulated and stored in the container.

After the storage, the pressing member is moved downward to press the seed plate. As a result, the bulging part such as copper formed on the peripheral part of the seed plate is crushed,
The bulkiness caused by the bulging portion of the seed plate is eliminated.
