Abstract

PURPOSE:To twice increase processing speed by transferring plate-shaped bodies having a protruded part transversely projecting from one edge in suspended state at the right and left projection parts on a chain conveyor and superposing said plate-shaped bodies by shifting the direction by 180 deg. alternately at the terminal edge part by providing a swing body which can be swung within a range of 90 deg.. CONSTITUTION:Anode scraps 1 are suspended at equal intervals onto a carrying- in conveyor 3, and intermittent transportation is performed so that the carrying- in conveyor 3 stops each time when the protruded part 2 of the scrap 1 is mounted onto a guide 4. Simultaneously with the stop, an auxiliary conveyor 5 is driven to push the protruded part 2 by a projection 6, and the protruded part 2 is dropped onto the V-shaped receiving part 9 of a swing body 8, and supported. At this time, the swing body 8 protrudes a supporting member 10 on the next turning side by a cylinder 11. In this state, the swing body 8 is turned by 90 deg. in the direction (A), and the scrap 1 is loaded in horizontal state onto a table 13. Then, the succeeding scraps 1 are superposed by turning the swing body 8 by 90 deg. in the direction (B), and then shifting the direction by 180 deg. onto the above- described scrap 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for transporting plate-shaped bodies by hooking the left and right protrusions on a chain conveyor, and stacking them by alternating directions by 180° at the ends thereof.

In the electrolytic refining of metals such as copper and lead, a shoulder-type anode is made by casting crude metal into a plate-shaped body with protrusions that protrude from one edge to the left and right, and the protrusions are used to connect conductive metals to the upper surface of the tank wall of the electrolytic cell. It is hung around the body and suspended in an electrolytic cell to perform electrolysis. After electrolysis, only the part of Amade that was immersed in the electrolyte dissolves and becomes thinner, and the part above the liquid level returns to its original thickness.

This anode scrap is remelted and recast as an anode, but it becomes necessary to stack it up to save space. When stacking, the thicker and thinner layers must be placed alternately so that they do not tilt. The table on which the anode scraps are placed is rotated by 180 degrees in the horizontal plane each time an anode scrap is placed so that the anode scraps that have been suspended and transferred one after another on a chain conveyor are positioned alternately at their upper and lower ends. Alternatively, a device (Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-19988) has been used in which horizontal anode scraps are leveled one by one, rotated 90° in each direction, and then stacked.

However, with the former device, the heavy platform loaded with a large number of anode scraps is rotated left and right every 180 degrees, so the stacking speed cannot be fast and a large amount of power is required. Since the anode scraps are rotated after being leveled, the anode scraps of Kaisei have to wait while rotating one anode scrap, so the stacking speed cannot be increased that much, and the equipment is complicated and expensive.

The present invention aims to provide an inexpensive device that can alternately stack such plate-shaped bodies faster than conventionally.

In order to achieve this object, the present invention carries a plate-shaped body having protrusions from one edge to the left and right, such as the above-mentioned anode scrap, on a conveyor, and places it perpendicular to the rocking body at the end of the conveyor.
They are placed on top of each other, placed on top of each other, alternately placed horizontally in the forward and backward direction of the conveyor, temporarily supported, and then dropped into piles.

An embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described. l
This is an anode scrap in which a protrusion 2 is integrally formed, protruding left and right from one edge of a substantially rectangular plate-like body. 3 is a carry-in conveyor, where a pair of endless chains of the same length are hung with protrusions 2, and the anode scrap 1 is suspended between the chains at right angles to the direction of movement, and can be transferred in the direction of the arrow in Figure 2. It is formed like this. Inside the pair of chenos in the vicinity where the feed side of the chenos of the carry-in conveyor 3 begins to turn over to the return side, on both sides of the plate-shaped part of the anode scrap l, there are a pair of bar-shaped chenos, one end of which extends forward in the direction of travel from the conveyor. Guides 4 are provided at substantially the same height as the upper surface of the cheno on the sending side. A pair of chenos on the carrying-in conveyor 3 are provided with a pair of chenos extending forward and upward from one end of the guide 4 in the forward direction of movement from directly above the area where the pair of chenos begin to reverse from the sending side to the return side, and facing the chenos and equally spaced apart. A protrusion 6 protruding outward at
An auxiliary conveyor 5 is provided. A pair of drive shafts 7 are provided on the left and right outer sides below one end of the guide 4, facing each other and perpendicular to the rotating surface of the carry-in conveyor 3. Disc-shaped oscillating bodies 8 are fixed to opposing ends of the drive shaft 7 at right angles to each other. The outer periphery of the rocking body 8 is located slightly below one end of the guide 4, and V-shaped receivers 9 are formed at two locations on the outer periphery at an interval of 90°, so that the two opposing rocking bodies 8
The cylinder 11 is fixed to the outside of the cylinder 11 so that it can protrude between the two rocking bodies 80 or be partially pulled out from between the two rocking bodies 80 . The rocking body 8 is rotated 900 times from a position where one of the V-shaped receiving portions 9 is directly below one end of the guide 4, and is provided so that the ■-shaped receiving portions 9 are placed directly below one end of the guide 4 alternately. A temporary receiving body 12 is provided near the intersection of the outer periphery of the rocking body 8 and a horizontal plane containing the drive shaft 7 so as to be rotatably opposed to each other and protrude in mutual directions. Two temporary receivers 12 are provided at positions where they can support the left and right protrusions 2 of the anode scrap l which has been rotated while being supported by the square-shaped receiver 9. Reference numeral 13 denotes a table provided below the oscillator 8 between the two opposing drive shafts 7, the width of the carrying conveyor 30 in the width direction is smaller than the width of the anode scrap 1, and the table 13 is connected to the cylinder connected to the lower center surface. 14 so as to be raised and lowered using a guide 15 as a guide.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a carry-out conveyor, which has two chains whose upper surface on the sending side is located slightly above the lowermost position of the table 13 and which runs parallel to the carry-in conveyor 3 and close to the outside of the table 18.

This device is operated and used as follows.

The carry-in conveyor 8 suspends the anode scraps 1 at equal intervals, moves one interval at a time, and then stops.
It stops when the protrusion 2 of one anode scrap rides on the guide 4. Simultaneously with this stop, the chino of the auxiliary conveyor 5 is moved, pushing the protrusion 2 with the protrusion 6 and feeding the anode scrap l to one end of the guide 4. At this time, one of the ■-shaped ribs 9 of the rocking body 8 is positioned under one end of the guide 4, and the protrusion 2 sent by the projection 6 is dropped into the left and right V-shaped receivers 9 and supported. Ru. At this time, anode scrap 1
A support member 10 is protruded by a cylinder 11 from the side surface of the lower end of the plate-like portion on which the rocking body 8 will rotate next. Next, the rocking body 8 is rotated 90 degrees in the direction of arrow (A) in FIG. At this time, the supporting member IO is such that the anode scrap 1 is the oscillator 8.
The lower end of the anode scrap 1 is supported so that it can rotate together with the anode scrap. When the rocking body 8 begins to rotate, the temporary receiving body 12 is extended horizontally toward the drive shaft 7. When the oscillator 8 rotates and the anode scrap l begins to become horizontal, the protrusion 2 slides out of the ■-shaped rib 9 and is supported by the temporary support 12, so that the support member 1o and the temporary support 12 are on almost the same horizontal plane. When positioned above, the temporary receiver 12 is pulled out by the cylinder 11 and removed from the anode scrap 1, and at the same time, the temporary receiver 12 is rotated downward and the anode scrap 1 is dropped onto the table 18. The table 13 on which the anode scrap 1 is placed descends by an amount corresponding to the maximum thickness of the anode scrap 1 and then stops. The oscillator 8 is the second
