Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of titanium cup surface treatment processing equipment, and in particular relates to a multi-color pattern processing equipment for a titanium cup. Background Art

[0002] Titanium is a stable metal material with excellent corrosion resistance. It is not easy to react with acids, alkalis and other substances in food. In addition, titanium has good biocompatibility with the human body and is completely harmless to the human body. In recent years, it has been considered as one of the best choices for thermos product materials.

[0003] By using anodizing electrolysis equipment, pure titanium and titanium alloy products are placed in a certain electrolyte for anodizing, which can form a layer of titanium anodized film on the surface of the titanium material; and by adjusting different parameters such as voltage, temperature, current, time, etc., oxide films of different thicknesses can be formed; oxide films of different thicknesses will produce different color effects when light interferes on their surfaces.

[0004] However, only a single color can be obtained through anodizing, and a colorful surface effect cannot be achieved. At present, in order to make the surface of the titanium cup colorful, anodizing is usually performed by ink masking, that is, the parts that do not need anodizing are first masked with ink, and the other areas are anodized first; then the ink is removed, and the remaining areas are anodized to perform multi-color processing; but this method is more complicated to operate and the process is more cumbersome, and the contour lines of the areas masked by the ink are not accurate enough. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-color pattern processing device for a titanium cup, which can realize automatic multi-color pattern processing, is simple to operate, and has high pattern accuracy.
