Generally, the shape of the automobile horn can be divided into circular, square, oval and other types, and the structure inside the horn needs to be designed by computer-aided design software. Secondly, the materials required for manufacturing the horn are generally metal or plastic. The metal materials mainly include copper, aluminum, steel, etc., and the plastic materials are mainly ABS, PP, etc. The selection of materials needs to consider the use environment, sound quality and other factors of the horn. Then, the designed horn structure is produced, usually by sheet metal processing, injection molding, etc. During the production process, multiple heat treatment, cooling, cutting and drilling processes need to be carried out to ensure the accuracy of the shape and structure of the horn and meet the design requirements. The finished product is subjected to surface treatment, and the common surface treatment methods are electroplating, spraying and painting. Finally, the voice coil and diaphragm elements of the horn are installed, and the circuit is connected, so that the horn can produce sound. During the entire manufacturing process, multiple tests and adjustments need to be carried out to ensure that the sound quality and volume of the horn meet the specified standards.

[0024] The embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0025] As shown in the accompanying Figure 1 to the accompanying Figure 2 :

[0026] Example 1: The present application provides a kind of automobile siren horn 12 paint filling manufacturing process, comprising the following steps:

[0027] 304 stainless steel material is used for stainless steel pipe, and the stainless steel pipe is made into horn pipe by pipe shrinking machine, then the horn pipe is made into horn mouth by spinning machine, the horn pipe and the horn mouth are welded with the horn thread to form the siren horn 12, and the surface is polished and treated by electroplating;

[0028] Paint is filled in the paint storage container 8, and the stirring device is started to continuously stir the paint, so that the relatively thick paint is uniformly mixed;

[0029] The siren horn 12 is screwed into the threaded end of the pipe with internal thread device 6, so that the siren horn 12 is fixed on the pipe with internal thread device 6;

[0030] The start switch 1 is opened, the first pneumatic valve 3 and the pneumatic diaphragm pump 9 are automatically opened, the paint passes through the filter bottom valve 14 and slowly fills into the inner cavity of the siren horn 12 through the paint pipe 10, until the liquid level sensor 7 controls to the corresponding liquid level position, then the first pneumatic valve 3 and the pneumatic diaphragm pump 9 are automatically closed to stop filling; after the first pneumatic valve 3 is closed, it is automatically timed for 120-180 seconds, the second pneumatic valve 4 is automatically opened, and the paint in the inner cavity of the siren horn 12 automatically flows into the paint storage container 8 through the paint flow hose 5;

[0031] The siren horn 12 is unscrewed and placed on the temporary storage rack, the paint is allowed to flow for 3-5 minutes, then it is placed in the oven for oven baking at 100-140 degrees for 30-50 minutes, and one operation is completed.

[0032] After 1-2 working days of process production, the paint flow hose 5 and the paint pipe 10 are placed in the paint special cleaning container 11, and the paint in the inner cavity of the paint flow hose 5 and the paint pipe 10 is cleaned with paint cleaning agent.

[0033] Start switch 1, as described above in the painting process, run 3-5 times, until the pipeline wall residual paint cleaning.

[0034] Example two: set the baffle 13 in the whole painting process periphery; set the exhaust duct above the horn 12 painting process, built-in exhaust fan 15, and set the explosion-proof lamp 16 equidistantly outside, through the exhaust duct to the exhaust gas generated during painting to the exhaust gas treatment tower, thereby reducing environmental pollution.

[0035] In practical application, the process greatly improves the yield, from the conventional painting method of 50%-60% to more than 98%, the production efficiency is improved from 20 per hour to 60 per hour, and the environmental pollution caused by painting is avoided.

[0036] As can be seen from the above, by adopting the painting process, using the gravity of the paint itself combined with photoelectric instruments, pneumatic valve control, the horn inside wall is evenly coated with a layer of uniform paint, thereby improving the appearance of the horn and ensuring its function. It not only solves the problem of uneven coating, low yield and high technical difficulty of painting, but also ensures the uniformity and beauty of the coating, and the manufacturing process is simple, the yield is high, and the environmental pollution is small.
