[0056] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated into and form part of the specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the present disclosure and, together with the specification, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure.
[0057] Figure 1is a flowchart of a housing processing method according to an exemplary embodiment.
[0058] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a housing processing method according to an exemplary embodiment.
[0059] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a housing processing method according to an exemplary embodiment.
[0060] Figure 4 is a flowchart of a housing processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0061] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. The following description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals represent like elements, unless the context dictates otherwise. The following description of exemplary embodiments is not representative of all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0062] With the development of science and technology, the functions and appearances of electronic devices are also constantly upgrading and changing. In particular, higher requirements are proposed for the appearance of electronic devices.
[0063] In the related art, an anodic oxidation treatment is used to form a protective layer on the surface of the housing of an electronic device, and a corresponding color is obtained through a process to improve the appearance effect.
[0064] However, the current processing method requires that the oxidation voltage be gradually reduced step by step to process the housing. Otherwise, the oxidation voltage of the later process will impact the formed anodic oxidation film layer. Gradual reduction of the oxidation voltage also results in gradual reduction of the anodic oxidation film layer. The more the anodic oxidation processing times, the more the anodic oxidation film layers formed, and the more difficult it is to pass the reliability test. Moreover, reducing the oxidation voltage slows down the film formation speed, affecting the production efficiency.
[0065] This disclosure proposes a shell processing method. The method includes providing an initial shell, performing a first anodizing treatment on the initial shell using a first preset voltage to form a first anodic oxide film layer in a first region of the initial shell. The first anodic oxide film layer has a first color. The method then performs repeated anodizing treatment on at least one first preset region within the first region. The repeated oxidation process includes removing the first anodic oxide film layer from the surface of the first preset region to form a first region to be processed, and oxidizing the first region to be processed. During the oxidation process, the processing voltage used continuously increases. The first color and the color formed on the surface of the first region to be processed are different. The method in this disclosure uses an initial processing voltage lower than the first preset voltage, which reduces the impact on the first anodic oxide film layer. During the oxidation process, the processing voltage continuously increases, minimizing the impact on the first anodic oxide film layer, accelerating film formation, effectively improving production efficiency, and increasing production yield. Furthermore, the different colors formed on the surface of the first region to be processed enhance the aesthetics of the shell, meeting user requirements for appearance.
[0066] In one exemplary embodiment, a housing processing method is provided for processing a housing, such as the housing of an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the shell processing method in this embodiment includes:
[0067] S110, Provide the initial housing.
[0068] In this step, an initial housing is selected to facilitate its processing. The initial housing could be, for example, the back cover of the electronic device to be processed, a camera trim piece to be processed, or the mid-frame of the electronic device to be processed.
[0069] S120. The initial shell is subjected to a first anodic oxidation treatment with a first preset voltage, so that a first anodic oxide film layer is formed in the first region of the initial shell.
[0070] In this step, the initial shell is immersed in a first oxidizing solution and a first preset voltage is applied for a first preset duration, so that a first anodic oxide film layer is formed in the first region of the initial shell; wherein, the first oxidizing solution may be, for example, a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 180g / L-200g / L, and is contained in a sulfuric acid tank.
[0071] A first preset voltage is applied by a rectifier, and the parameters such as the first preset voltage, the first preset duration, and the ambient temperature of the first anodizing treatment are controlled by the multi-program control system built into the rectifier. For example, the first preset voltage can be 12.5V-13.5V, the first preset duration can be 45min-60min, and the ambient temperature of the first anodizing treatment can be 18℃-20℃.
[0072] The surface of the first anodic oxidation film layer has a plurality of first recess holes, the first pigment is filled into the plurality of first recess holes, the first recess holes in the first anodic oxidation film layer are dyed, and the first anodic oxidation film layer has the first color.
[0073] The first anodic oxidation film layer with the first color is sealed, the first color is locked in the first recess holes of the first anodic oxidation film layer, and the effect of color fixing is achieved. The sealing can be performed by using a sealing liquid, or the first pigment can be filled into the first recess holes, and the sealing process is performed.
[0074] S130, repeating anodic oxidation treatment is performed on at least one first preset region in the first region.
[0075] In this step, the first region includes at least one first preset region, when a plurality of first preset regions are provided, the plurality of first preset regions can be separately arranged, and the repeating anodic oxidation treatment is performed on at least one first preset region, so as to form a new anodic oxidation film layer.
[0076] In the step S130, the repeating anodic oxidation treatment process includes:
[0077] S1301, the first anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the first preset region is removed, and a first to-be-processed region is formed.
[0078] In this step, the CNC machine equipment is used to process the initial shell, the first anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the first preset region is removed, the surface of the initial shell of the first preset region is exposed, and the first to-be-processed region is formed.
[0079] S1302, an oxidation treatment is performed on the first to-be-processed region, and the processing voltage used in the oxidation treatment process is continuously increased.
[0080] In this step, the oxidation treatment is performed on the first to-be-processed region, and the processing voltage used in the oxidation treatment process is continuously increased, so as to shorten the oxidation time and improve the oxidation speed. The starting voltage of the processing voltage is lower than the first preset voltage, and the impact on the first oxidation film layer is effectively reduced.
[0081] The first color and the color formed by the surface of the first to-be-processed region are different, and the shell with diversified colors is formed.
[0082] In the method in this embodiment, after the first anodic oxidation film layer is formed, the repeating anodic oxidation treatment is continuously performed on at least one first preset region in the first region. In the repeating anodic oxidation treatment process, the oxidation is performed by using the processing voltage which is continuously increased and the starting voltage of the processing voltage which is lower than the first preset voltage. On the basis of avoiding the impact on the first anodic oxidation film layer, the film can be quickly formed, the oxidation time is shortened, and the oxidation speed is improved.
[0083] In one example embodiment, a shell processing method is used to process a shell, which can be a shell of an electronic device. As shown in the figure, the shell processing method in this embodiment includes: Figure 2
[0084] S210, providing an initial shell.
[0085] S220, performing first anodic oxidation processing on the initial shell at a first preset voltage, so that a first anodic oxidation film layer is formed on a first region of the initial shell.
[0086] S230, performing repeated anodic oxidation processing on at least one first preset region in the first region.
[0087] The repeated anodic oxidation processing in step S230 includes:
[0088] S2301, removing the first anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the first preset region to form a first region to be processed;
[0089] S2302, performing second anodic oxidation processing on the first region to be processed, and the processing voltage used in the second anodic oxidation processing is constantly increased according to a first voltage increasing rule, so that a second anodic oxidation film layer is formed on the first region to be processed.
[0090] In this step, a first conductive position is formed on the first region to be processed, and the first region to be processed is subjected to the second anodic oxidation processing through the first conductive position.
[0091] A non-critical position is selected in the first region to be processed, and the surface of the first region to be processed at the non-critical position is broken by laser engraving to form a broken anodic surface, which is used as the first conductive position. The first conductive position provides a conductive position for power supply, and the hanging point of the power supply can contact the first conductive position, and then conduct electricity, so that the first region to be processed can generate the second anodic oxidation film layer. The second anodic oxidation film layer has a second color.
[0092] When the second anodic oxidation processing is performed on the first region to be processed, the initial shell with the first anodic oxidation film layer can be immersed in a second oxidation liquid, which can be a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 180g / L-200g / L and contained in a sulfuric acid tank.
[0093] The processing voltage is set by the multi-program control system built in the rectifier, and the initial voltage of the processing voltage used in the initial state can be 8V-9V, which is less than the first preset voltage, thereby achieving the effect of voltage reduction processing and avoiding the impact on the first anodic oxidation film layer during the anodic oxidation process, so that the first anodic oxidation film layer is not damaged.
[0094] In the pressurized state, the processing voltage used in the second anodization process is continuously increased according to the first voltage increasing rule, and the first conductive potential is passed for a second preset time duration, so that the first to-be-processed region forms a second anodic oxidation film layer. The second preset time duration may be 55 min to 65 min, for example.
[0095] The first voltage increasing rule is to gradually increase the voltage between 8 V and 13 V, and the difference between the two voltage increases is 0.5 V to 1 V. Then, the power supply is stopped after the second anodic oxidation film layer reaches the desired thickness, and the second anodic oxidation process is completed. The first predetermined time duration may be 8 min to 12 min, for example. The environmental temperature of the second anodic oxidation process is 18°C to 20°C, and the film forming effect is the best.
[0096] The film forming time is also related to the surface state of the initial shell. When the surface of the initial shell is a polished material, the environmental temperature of the second anodic oxidation process is 18°C to 20°C, the second preset time duration is 60 min to 65 min, and the processing voltage is gradually increased from 8 V to 12 V, and the aluminum ion content is less than <10 g / L.
[0097] When the surface of the initial shell is a sandblasted material, the environmental temperature of the second anodic oxidation process is 18°C to 20°C, the second preset time duration is 55 min to 60 min, and the processing voltage is gradually increased from 9 V to 13 V, and the aluminum ion content is less than <10 g / L.
[0098] The surface of the second anodic oxidation film layer has a plurality of second pores, the second pigment is filled into the plurality of second pores, the second pores of the second anodic oxidation film layer are dyed, and the second anodic oxidation film layer has a second color. The pH value in the dyeing process is 5 to 6, and the acidity and alkalinity are moderate.
[0099] The second anodic oxidation film layer with the second color is sealed to lock the second color in the second pores of the second anodic oxidation film layer, achieving the effect of color fixing. During sealing, a sealing solution of 10 g / L to 12 g / L can be used for sealing, the sealing environmental temperature is 92°C to 95°C, and the sealing time duration is about 60 min.
[0100] S2303, at least one second preset region in the first region and / or at least one third preset region in the first to-be-processed region are subjected to repeated anodization processing.
[0101] In this step, the first region includes at least one second preset region, and the plurality of second preset regions can be separately arranged. The at least one second preset region is subjected to repeated anodization processing to form a new anodic oxidation film layer; and / or,
[0102] The first to-be-processed region comprises at least one third preset region, and multiple third preset regions can be arranged separately. The at least one third preset region is subjected to repeated anodic oxidation treatment, so as to form a new anodic oxidation film layer.
[0103] In the step S2303, the repeated oxidation treatment process comprises:
[0104] In the step S23031, the first anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the second preset region and / or the second anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the third preset region are removed, so as to form a second to-be-processed region.
[0105] In this step, the initial shell with the first anodic oxidation film layer and the second anodic oxidation film layer is processed by using a CNC machine.
[0106] In one example, the first anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the second preset region is removed, so that the surface of the initial shell of the second preset region is exposed, so as to form the second to-be-processed region; or, the second anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the third preset region is removed, so that the surface of the initial shell of the third preset region is exposed, so as to form the second to-be-processed region, and the integrity of the other region is ensured.
[0107] In another example, the first anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the second preset region and the second anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the third preset region are removed, so that the surface of the initial shell of the second preset region and the surface of the initial shell of the third preset region are exposed, so as to form the second to-be-processed region. The boundaries of the first anodic oxidation film layer and the second anodic oxidation film layer are re-planned, the flatness of the boundaries of the first anodic oxidation film layer and the second anodic oxidation film layer is ensured, and the visual effect is improved.
[0108] In the step S23032, the second to-be-processed region is subjected to oxidation treatment, and the processing voltage used in the oxidation treatment process is continuously increased.
[0109] In this step, the second to-be-processed region is subjected to oxidation treatment, and the processing voltage used in the oxidation treatment process is continuously increased, so as to shorten the oxidation time and improve the oxidation speed. The color formed on the surface of the second to-be-processed region is different from the second color and the first color, so as to form a multi-color shell and meet the user's demand for appearance.
[0110] In the method in this embodiment, after the first anodic oxidation film layer is formed, the first anodic oxidation film layer in the first preset region is removed, so as to provide a first to-be-processed region for the second anodic oxidation film layer. When the initial shell is subjected to the second anodic oxidation treatment, the processing voltage is continuously increased according to the first voltage increasing rule, so as to gradually increase the voltage, so as to weaken the impact of the instantaneous voltage in the second anodic oxidation treatment on the first anodic oxidation film layer, avoid breaking the first anodic oxidation film layer, and cause the powdering phenomenon, and effectively improve the production yield.
[0111] In one example embodiment, a shell processing method is used to process a shell, such as a shell of an electronic device. As shown in the figure, the shell processing method in this embodiment includes: Figure 3
[0112] S310, providing an initial shell.
[0113] S320, performing first anodic oxidation processing on the initial shell at a first preset voltage, so that a first anodic oxidation film layer is formed on a first region of the initial shell.
[0114] S330, performing repeated anodic oxidation processing on at least one first preset region in the first region.
[0115] The repeated oxidation processing in step S230 includes:
[0116] S3301, removing the first anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the first preset region to form a first region to be processed;
[0117] S3302, performing second anodic oxidation processing on the first region to be processed, and the processing voltage used in the second anodic oxidation processing is constantly increased according to a first voltage increasing rule, so that a second anodic oxidation film layer is formed on the first region to be processed.
[0118] S3303, performing repeated anodic oxidation processing on at least one second preset region in the first region and / or at least one third preset region in the first region to be processed.
[0119] S33031, removing the first anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the second preset region and / or the second anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the third preset region to form a second region to be processed.
[0120] S33032, performing third anodic oxidation processing on the second region to be processed, and the processing voltage used in the third anodic oxidation processing is constantly increased according to a second voltage increasing rule, so that a third anodic oxidation film layer is formed on the second region to be processed.
[0121] In this step, a second conductive position is formed on the second region to be processed, and the second region to be processed is processed for the third time through the second conductive position.
[0122] A non-critical position is selected in the second region to be processed, and the surface of the non-critical position in the second region to be processed is engraved to form a broken anodic surface, which is used as the second conductive position. The second conductive position provides a conductive position for power supply, and the hanging point of the power supply can contact the second conductive position, and then conduct electricity, so that the second region to be processed can generate the third anodic oxidation film layer. The third anodic oxidation film layer has a third color.
[0123] When the third anodization treatment is performed on the second to-be-processed area, the initial shell with the first anodization film layer and the second anodization film layer can be immersed into a third oxidizing liquid, which can be, for example, a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 180 g / L to 200 g / L and is contained in a sulfuric acid tank, and has a good corrosiveness.
[0124] The processing voltage is set by a multi-program control system built in the rectifier, and the initial voltage of the processing voltage used in the initial state can be, for example, 8 V to 9 V, which is not only less than the first preset voltage, but also less than the maximum voltage value of the processing voltage used in the second anodization treatment after voltage boosting, thereby further achieving the effect of voltage reduction processing and avoiding the impact on the first anodization film layer and the second anodization film layer during the anodization process, so that the first anodization film layer and the second anodization film layer are not damaged.
[0125] In the pressurized state, the processing voltage used in the third anodization treatment is continuously increased according to the second voltage boosting rule, and the second to-be-processed area is formed with a third anodization film layer by the second conductive potential for a third preset time length. The third preset time length can be, for example, 55 min to 65 min.
[0126] The second voltage boosting rule can be different from the first voltage boosting rule. The second voltage boosting rule is to gradually boost the voltage between 8 V and 13 V, the difference between the two voltage boosting is 1 V to 1.5 V, and the boosting is continued for a second predetermined time length, until the third anodization film layer reaches the desired thickness, the power supply is stopped, and the third anodization treatment is completed. The instantaneous voltage of the step-by-step voltage boosting is small, the current is also small, and the impact on the first anodization film layer and the second anodization film layer is small. The second predetermined time length can be, for example, 8 min to 12 min, and the environmental temperature of the third anodization treatment is 18°C to 20°C, and the film forming effect is the best.
[0127] The film forming time is related to the surface state of the initial shell, which has been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here. The film forming time is also related to the thickness and color of the anodization film layer. The lighter the color of the anodization film layer, the thinner the anodization film layer, and the shorter the film forming time. The darker the color of the anodization film layer, the thicker the anodization film layer, and the longer the film forming time.
[0128] It should be noted that the second voltage boosting rule and the first voltage boosting rule can also be the same, which can further ensure that the first anodization film layer and the second anodization film layer are not impacted.
[0129] The surface of the third anodization film layer has a plurality of third recessed holes, the third pigment is filled into the plurality of third recessed holes, the third recessed holes of the third anodization film layer are dyed, and the third anodization film layer has a third color.
[0130] The third anodization film layer with the third color is sealed, the third color is locked in the third concave hole of the third anodization film layer, and the solidification effect is achieved.
[0131] S33033, the initial shell with the first anodization film layer, the second anodization film layer and the third anodization film layer is subjected to repeated anodization treatment.
[0132] In this step, the initial shell with the first anodization film layer, the second anodization film layer and the third anodization film layer is subjected to repeated anodization treatment to form a fourth anodization film layer. The treatment method is the same as that of the third anodization film layer described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0133] Of course, it can be understood that the present application is not limited to forming the first anodization film layer, the second anodization film layer, the third anodization film layer and the fourth anodization film layer, but also can form a fifth anodization film layer, and so on, even an N anodization film layer. When N anodization film layers are needed, each anodization film layer can select a corresponding area, remove the original anodization film layer in the corresponding area, so as to perform anodization treatment on the corresponding area to form a new anodization film layer. The color of the anodization film layer in each area can be different, so that the shell forms a colorful state, and meets the user's demand for appearance.

And the shell forms a shell with multiple anodization film layers, which realizes the colorful design concept.
[0135] In one example embodiment, a shell processing method is used to process a shell, which can be a shell of an electronic device. As shown in Figure 4 The shell processing method in the embodiment includes:
[0136] S410, providing a plate material.
[0137] In this step, the plate material can be selected from an aluminum alloy raw material made of aluminum trioxide material. The raw material is cut to select one plate material for further processing.
[0138] S420, cutting the plate material to form an initial structure.
[0139] In this step, the initial structure is cut into a target shape by using a CNC machining device to form the initial structure.
[0140] S430, the initial structure is physically processed to form the initial shell.
[0141] In this step, the initial structure is physically processed by using a CNC machining device to form the initial shell. The physical processing may be polishing or sandblasting of the initial structure.
[0142] When polishing is used, the initial structure is polished to form the initial shell with a bright surface.
[0143] When sandblasting is used, the initial structure is sandblasted and the sandblasted initial structure is etched to form the initial shell with a matte surface.
[0144] In the sandblasting process, a chemical polishing process is also required to improve the metallic luster of the initial shell. The main component of the chemical polishing process is sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, which is heated to about 90°C and polished for 30-50 seconds to release the luster of the aluminum alloy of the initial shell. Otherwise, after sandblasting, the surface of the aluminum alloy is in a diffuse reflection state, which looks dull and ugly, affecting the visual effect of the initial shell.
[0145] S440, the initial shell is subjected to a first anodic oxidation process at a first preset voltage to form a first anodic oxidation film layer on the first region of the initial shell.
[0146] S450, at least one first preset region in the first region is subjected to a repeated anodic oxidation process.
[0147] The repeated oxidation process in step S450 includes:
[0148] S4501, the first anodic oxidation film layer on the surface of the first preset region is removed to form a first region to be processed.
[0149] S4502, the first region to be processed is subjected to an oxidation process, and the processing voltage used in the oxidation process is continuously increased.
[0150] The method in this embodiment processes the plate into an initial shell according to the expected processing, then performs dyeing to ensure the integrity of the preset pattern and avoid damaging the preset pattern, thereby affecting the aesthetics of the shell.
[0151] The shell processing method provided by the present disclosure utilizes the first voltage boosting rule to perform the second anodization treatment on the initial shell, and utilizes the second voltage boosting rule to perform the third anodization treatment on the initial shell, so that the instantaneous voltage of the second anodization treatment and the third anodization treatment is small, the current is also small, the impact on the first anodization film layer and the second anodization film layer is small, the first anodization film layer and the second anodization film layer are prevented from being broken down or even powdered, and a more reliable and reliable test solution is provided for anodization.
[0152] The film forming method under the first voltage boosting rule and the second voltage boosting rule has small instantaneous voltage and small current, small damage to the anodization film layer, avoids the powdering phenomenon, and makes each anodization film layer have the same thickness, thereby ensuring the surface flatness.
[0153] The present disclosure also provides a shell, which is processed by the shell processing method in any of the above embodiments, so that the shell realizes a colorful shell, improves the aesthetics and seniority of the shell, and meets the needs of users.
[0154] The present disclosure also provides an electronic device, which includes the shell in the above embodiments. The electronic device is, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, or the like, so as to improve the aesthetics of the electronic device and the hand feeling when the user holds the electronic device, and improve the user experience.
