CA 2241908

An arrangement for conveying plates (4) in particular mother plates with or without a deposited metal layer, in an electrolytic metal refining plant, wherein the plates are intended to be conveyed in the conveyor arrangement (25, 50) along at least one horizontal conveyor path with the plates orientated generally vertical and equidistant from one another therealong, characterized in that the conveyor arrangement is of the walking beam kind and includes fixed supports (28, 54) and at least one walking beam (30, 62) having movable supports (31, 67), wherein the walking beam is arranged to move in a cyclic pattern, including a lifting movement in which all the plates conveyed along the path are lifted by the movable supports from their fixed supports in a first position, a forward movement in which all plates are advanced simultaneously one step while resting on their movable supports, a lowering movement in which the plates are placed on fixed supports in a new, second position, and a return movement, wherein the length of one step corresponds to the plate spacing (PI; PII) along the path.

L'invention porte sur un système de convoyage de plaques (4), et en particulier de plaques mères revêtues ou non d'une couche de dépôt métallique, à l'intérieur d'une installlation d'affinage électrolytique de métaux dans lequel les plaques doivent être convoyées dans le système de convoyeur (25, 50) sur au moins une trajectoire horizontale de convoyeur où elles se trouvent sensiblement verticales et équidistantes. Le convoyeur, du type à longeron mobile, comporte des supports fixes (28, 54) et au moins un longeron mobile (30, 62) pourvu de supports mobiles (31, 67) parcourant une trajectoire cyclique comprenant un mouvement ascendant où toutes les plaques circulant sur la trajectoire sont soulevées par les supports mobiles dans une première position et à partir de supports fixes, un mouvement vers l'avant dans lequel toutes les plaques avancent ensemble d'un pas tout en restant sur leurs supports mobiles; un mouvement descendant dans lequel les plaques sont amenées sur des supports fixes dans une deuxième position; puis un mouvement de retour dans lequel la longueur du pas correspond à l'écartement (PI, PII) entre plaques le long de la trajectoire.
