[0002] As an important part of the car audio system, the surface treatment process of aluminum car speaker grille is not only related to the aesthetics of the product, but also directly affects its performance and durability. Etching is a technology that removes the unwanted parts of the metal surface through chemical or physical methods, leaving the desired pattern or text. In the production of car speaker grille, the etching process can accurately transfer the designed mesh pattern to the metal substrate to form a unique and complex structure.

[0003] The aluminum car horn grille is cleaned, coated with photosensitive ink, placed on both sides of the film, exposed and developed, so that the hardened ink can be attached to the outside of the aluminum car horn grille, and the aluminum car horn grille with the hardened ink pattern can be placed in the etching machine for etching. The etching machine can spray the etchant on the sheet, and the etchant can be in contact with the sheet to achieve chemical etching. The part protected by the ink will not be etched, so that the aluminum car horn grille can generate the required pattern. Finally, the ink can be removed by the de-inking machine to complete the processing. If the existing etching machine sprays the aluminum car horn grille on a single side, In order to further improve the etching efficiency of the aluminum car horn mesh, a double-sided etching method for the aluminum car horn mesh is proposed. The aluminum car horn mesh can be turned over within a certain time, so that the aluminum car horn mesh with a curved surface structure can be etched on both sides in turn, thereby effectively improving the processing efficiency and processing accuracy, and ensuring that the etchant is in full contact with the aluminum car horn mesh.
