However, there are currently no direct and effective technical means to collect information on the process times of non-electrical processes such as activation, neutralization, chemical oxidation, phosphating, electroless plating, and washing, which directly hinders the realization of full-process information technology in surface treatment.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic data acquisition device and method for non-electric surface treatment processes, which can directly and effectively acquire the operation time of non-electric surface treatment processes, ensuring the accuracy of production operation time acquisition.
[0027] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] See Figure 1 The present invention discloses an automatic data acquisition device for non-electric surface treatment process time, comprising: a dual-electrode rod 1, a dual-electrode support 2, and a PLC module (not shown in the figure).
[0029] The dual-electrode bar 1 is used to suspend metal hooks for production operations. See also Figures 1 to 3 The dual-electrode rod 1 is a combination structure of conductor and insulator, including an insulating core rod 7, a positive metal half-tube 8, and a negative metal half-tube 6. The conductors are the positive metal half-tube 8 and the negative metal half-tube 6, which are respectively fixed to the insulating core rod 7 by screws, forming the dual-electrode rod 1. The positive metal half-tube 8 and the negative metal half-tube 6 do not contact each other, therefore they are not electrically connected, and the fixing screws used are also not electrically connected to each other.
[0030] See Figure 3 In one specific embodiment, the insulating core rod 7 includes a cylindrical insulating core 12 and two insulating strips 13, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylindrical insulating core rod 12. The insulating strips 13 are used to fill the gap between the positive electrode metal half-tube 8 and the negative electrode metal half-tube 6 to insulate them. Therefore, the insulating core rod 7, the positive electrode metal half-tube 8, and the negative electrode metal half-tube 6 are combined to form an approximately cylindrical body.
[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The dual-electrode support 2 is an inlaid combination structure of insulator and metal conductor, including an insulating support 3, a positive conductive plate 9, and a negative conductive plate 5. See also... Figure 3 The insulating support 3 includes a base 14 and a V-shaped bracket 15 disposed on the base. (See also...) Figure 2 The positive electrode conductive sheet 9 and the negative electrode conductive sheet 5 are symmetrically arranged on the two inner sides of the V-shaped bracket 15, and are combined to form a double electrode support 2.
[0032] Specifically, the positive conductive sheet 9 and the negative conductive sheet 5 are respectively embedded in the mounting groove 11 provided on the inner side of the V-shaped bracket, and are each fixed by screws and nuts. Various sizes of screws and nuts are used. A washer 4 is also provided between the nut and the outer side of the V-shaped bracket 15.
[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The two ends of the dual-electrode rod 1 are respectively attached to a dual-electrode support 2, and the positive conductive plate 9 and the negative conductive plate 5 are in contact with the positive metal half-tube 8 and the negative metal half-tube 6, respectively. Both the dual-electrode rod 1 and the dual-electrode support 2 are axially symmetrical structures.
[0034] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Both the positive electrode metal half-tube 8 and the negative electrode metal half-tube 6 have a cross-section 16 machined at their ends. The angle formed by the two cross-sections matches the forking angle of the V-shaped bracket 15, allowing the positive electrode metal half-tube 8 and the negative electrode metal half-tube 6 to better fit with the positive electrode conductive sheet 9 and the negative electrode conductive sheet 5. The length and width of the cross-section 16 are equivalent to the length and width of the positive electrode conductive sheet 9, and the positive electrode conductive sheet 9 and the negative electrode conductive sheet 5 have the same shape.
[0035] The PLC module is connected to the positive conductive plate 9 and the negative conductive plate 5 via positive and negative connecting wires, respectively. Specifically, the negative connecting wire of the PLC module is fixed between the nut and the washer on the side of the negative conductive plate 5; the positive connecting wire of the PLC module is fixed between the nut and the washer on the side of the positive conductive plate 9. That is, the positive conductive plate 9 and the negative conductive plate 5 are respectively fixed in the mounting groove 11 on the inner side of the V-shaped bracket with screws, and then connected to the positive and negative terminals of the PLC module via the positive and negative connecting wires provided on the outer side of the V-shaped bracket 15.
[0036] As a specific embodiment, the bottom of the V-shaped bracket 15 is provided with a flow guide groove 10, which is used to guide the solution, water and other liquids during the production process of the non-electrical surface treatment process, so as to prevent the solution, water and other liquids from contacting the positive electrode metal half tube 8 and the negative electrode metal half tube 6, causing them to conduct.
[0037] Metal hooks must be used in production operations. When the metal hook is hung on the dual-electrode bar 1 during production, the two poles are connected, and the PLC starts working. After the hook is removed, the PLC stops working. The PLC outputs the working time through the on / off state of the PLC, which serves as the process time for the entire operation. This enables the automatic data acquisition of the process time for all surface treatment processes, such as activation, neutralization, chemical oxidation, phosphating, chemical plating, and water washing, ensuring the full-process automatic data acquisition of the surface treatment manual operation production line.
[0038] Based on the aforementioned automatic data acquisition device for non-electric surface treatment process time, this invention also provides a method for automatic data acquisition of non-electric surface treatment process time, comprising:
[0039] During the non-electricalized surface treatment process, the metal hook for mounting the parts is hung on the dual-electrode bar 1. Once the metal hook is in contact with both the positive and negative metal half-tubes 8 and 6, the dual-electrode bar 1 is turned on. The on signal is transmitted to the PLC module through the positive conductive plate 9, the negative conductive plate 5, and the positive and negative connecting wires, and the PLC module begins operation. After the production process is completed, the metal hook is removed, and the connection circuit between the positive and negative metal half-tubes 8 and 6 is immediately disconnected, causing the PLC module to stop operating. The on-time of the PLC module is recorded as the process time for the entire non-electricalized surface treatment process.
[0040] The automatic data acquisition device and method for non-electric surface treatment processes provided by this invention are stable and reliable. They can directly and effectively acquire the operation time of non-electric surface treatment processes without error, ensuring the accuracy of production operation time acquisition. This enables the automatic data acquisition of the process time of non-electric processes, ensuring the realization of information-based information management throughout the entire surface treatment manual operation production line.

The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
