DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention is described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided solely to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the present disclosure.

[0019] See attached Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in this embodiment, a flow stabilizing device for maintaining a stable liquid level in a reaction pool includes a reaction pool 1, a workpiece 2 to be reacted, and a conveying device 3 for transporting the workpiece 2. Specifically, the reaction pool 1 carries a reaction liquid (electrolyte) for participating in the anodic oxidation reaction of the workpiece 2. A plurality of cathode members 11 for performing an anodic oxidation reaction with the workpiece 2 are arranged on the bottom of the reaction pool 1. In addition, the length of the reaction pool 1 is relatively long due to the process requirements (it can extend to more than fifty or one hundred meters). Therefore, the reaction pool 1 is divided into several sections for management, and each section is provided with the flow stabilizing device of this embodiment and a replenishing pipe 12 for replenishing the reaction liquid to the reaction pool 1. This ensures the stability of the liquid level and avoids the concentration in some areas of the reaction tank 1 being too low, which would affect the normal progress of the anodic oxidation reaction; secondly, the conveying device 3 includes a number of roller groups 31 arranged relatively at the upper and lower ends of the workpiece 2 in the reaction tank 1 along the Z-axis direction, and the relative position of the roller group 31 can be adjusted according to the condition of the workpiece 2. The workpiece 2 is a steel coil stored in a roll form and conveyed to the reaction tank 1 through a preset unwinding mechanism. The surface of the workpiece 2 may be partially bent, bulged or concave. By adjusting the relative (vertical) position of the roller group 31, the above-mentioned phenomena can be adjusted so that the surface of the workpiece 2 is in the same flat state.

[0020] See attached Figure 4As shown, an XYZ-axis rectangular space coordinate system is established. In this embodiment, it also includes a flow stabilizer 4 and a support frame 5 installed on both sides of the flow stabilizer 4. The flow stabilizer 4 is arranged in the reaction tank 1, wherein the width dimension of the flow stabilizer 4 is less than or equal to the width dimension between the inner side surfaces of the reaction tank 1, so that the width dimension of the flow stabilizer 4 basically covers the width dimension of the liquid surface, achieving a better flow stabilization effect on the liquid surface, and, according to actual production conditions (specific reaction liquid flow rate, liquid surface surge 13), flow stabilizers 4 of different widths can be selected, and the connection position of the flow stabilizer 4 and the support frame 5 needs to be adjusted accordingly for adaptation; the support frame 5 is arranged on both sides outside the reaction tank 1, and the flow stabilizer 4 is provided with a first guide portion 41, a second guide portion 42 and a third guide portion 43, the first guide portion 41, the second guide portion 42 and the third guide portion 43, The guide portion 41 is used to guide the liquid level surge 13 to the lower liquid level. The second guide portion 42 and the third guide portion 43 are both used to guide the reaction liquid diverted from the upper layer and the reaction liquid at the current liquid level to the lower liquid level. The C surface 49 in the first guide portion 41, the second guide portion 42 and the third guide portion 43 is set as an inclined surface, so as to facilitate guiding the reaction liquid input from the upper layer to the lower layer, reduce the resistance area, and improve high-steady flow. It should be noted that the smoother the liquid level surge 13 of the reaction liquid, the more balanced the concentration of the reaction liquid in the reaction tank 1, and the better the effect of achieving the anodic oxidation reaction. By guiding the liquid level surge 13 through the first guide portion 41, the second guide portion 42 and the third guide portion 43 in turn, the phenomenon of the reaction liquid level surge 13 is reduced. For specific flow direction, please refer to the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown by the solid arrow.

[0021] See attached Figure 3 、 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of diverter holes 411 extending along the X-axis direction are formed on the A surface 47 of the first guide portion 41, and a plurality of liquid outlet holes 44 extending along the Z-axis direction are formed on the B surface 48 of the first guide portion 41, the second guide portion 42 and the third guide portion 43, wherein the diverter holes 411 are connected with the liquid outlet holes 44. Specifically, the A surface 47, the B surface 48 and the C surface 49 together constitute the above-mentioned guide portion; the setting and coordination of the diverter holes 411 and the liquid outlet holes 44 reduce the phenomenon of reaction liquid level surge 13 and make the concentration of the reaction liquid more balanced, thereby ensuring the stable and efficient progress of the anodizing reaction.

[0022] See attached Figure 4 As shown, further, the outer structure of the flow stabilizer 4 is an inverted step-like shape.

[0023] See attached Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, a vertical lifting mechanism 6 and a walking mechanism 7 are provided on the support frame 5.

The vertical lifting mechanism 6 includes at least one, preferably two, connecting arms 61, at least one, preferably two lifting arms 62 and at least one, preferably two lifting drive units 63. The upper end of the lifting arm 62 is connected to the support frame 5, and the lifting drive unit 63 is movably installed on the outer peripheral surface of the lifting arm 62, wherein a limiting block 621 is formed at the bottom end of the lifting arm 62 to prevent the lifting drive unit 63 from excessive movement and detaching from the lifting arm 62; the two ends of the connecting arm 61 are respectively connected to the side ends of the flow stabilizer 4 and the side ends of the lifting drive unit 63, and the lifting drive unit 63 is used to drive the flow stabilizer 4 to move back and forth along the Z-axis direction, thereby realizing the relative distance adjustment between the flow stabilizer 4 and the workpiece 2 on the Z-axis, and ensuring that the above-mentioned diversion hole 411 can be located at the same Z-axis height as the liquid level.

[0024] See attached Figure 4 As shown, further, the walking mechanism 7 is used to adjust the relative position of the flow stabilizer 4 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. The walking mechanism 7 includes at least four walking wheels 71 and at least four displacement driving units 72 for driving the walking wheels 71 to move (the specific number can be set according to actual production and load conditions), so that it is more convenient to move the flow stabilizing device in this embodiment to the corresponding area position in the reaction tank 1 to achieve multi-directional movement. In addition, the above-mentioned walking wheel 71 can preferably be a universal wheel structure, so that it is more convenient for the flow stabilizing device in this embodiment to achieve relative displacement in the X-axis and Y-axis directions.

[0025] See attached Figure 3 、 4 As shown, in this embodiment, it also includes at least one, preferably two, primary position sensors 45 and at least two, preferably four, secondary position sensors 46. The primary position sensor 45 is arranged at the bottom of the flow stabilizer 4, and the secondary position sensor 46 is arranged on both sides of the flow stabilizer 4. The primary position sensor 45 is used to detect the relative distance between the flow stabilizer 4 and the workpiece 2, and can cooperate with the vertical lifting mechanism 6 to accurately adjust the relative distance between the flow stabilizer 4 and the workpiece 2, so as to avoid the flow stabilizer 4 and the workpiece 2 from colliding and affecting the output quality of the workpiece 2; the secondary position sensor 46 is used to detect the relative distance between the flow stabilizer 4 and the inner wall surface of the reaction tank 1, and can cooperate with the walking mechanism 7 to accurately adjust the relative distance between the flow stabilizer 4 and the inner wall surface of the reaction tank 1, so as to achieve a better flow stabilization effect; in addition, the corresponding setting of the number of the above sensors can be set according to the actual size of the reaction tank 1 and the flow stabilizer 4, so as to obtain more comprehensive and accurate data and improve user experience.
