Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a coating process for transformer plate radiators. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the common pretreatment coating process for sheet metal is as follows: sheet metal steel plate felt oiling or laser degreasing --- sheet metal welding --- sheet metal pressure repair welding --- sheet metal shot blasting --- filling of inner wall paint --- hot air drying of inner wall paint --- sheet metal exterior primer coating --- sheet metal exterior drying --- sheet metal exterior topcoat coating --- sheet metal exterior drying.
[0003] The disadvantages of this process are: ① Felt degreasing: The degreasing rate of the felt flakes is poor on the surface and inside, leaving residual oil on the surface, resulting in poor paint film adhesion and easy peeling. The degreasing rate of felt is about 70-30%. The degreasing effect is good when the felt is newly installed, but the degreasing effect deteriorates as the oil content increases with use, with an average degreasing rate of about 50%.
[0004] ② Laser degreasing: Thoroughly removes oil from the surface or interior of the flakes. Flakes are prone to rust during production, and subsequent rust removal is ineffective, resulting in poor paint adhesion and easy peeling. Laser degreasing is relatively thorough, but the steel plate may rust during production, and the rust inside the flakes cannot be removed, affecting the corrosion resistance of the inner paint.
[0005] ③ Shot blasting can remove oil. This is fine when the shot is new and the machine is new. However, after several months of use, the steel shot and the shot blasting system will contain oil. The surface of the steel plate after shot blasting will have oil stains and will be dark black instead of shiny. This indicates that oil and dust are adhering to the surface of the steel plate. Applying paint directly after shot blasting will affect the adhesion and corrosion resistance. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a coating process method for transformer plate heat sinks, the technical solution of which is as follows: The process includes the following steps: sheet processing and welding, sheet pressure repair welding, sheet internal treatment, and sheet external treatment. S1, sheet metal processing and welding, uses lightly oiled cold-rolled steel plates. The front end of the sheet metal production line uses oil-absorbing cotton to remove oil, eliminating the need for expensive laser degreasing equipment. At the end of the sheet metal production line, a 2-meter-long handling robot is used in conjunction with pneumatic clamps to directly and accurately place the heat sinks from the production line onto the sheet metal CNC assembly machine. The heat sinks and oil collection pipes are manually fixed, and then a welding machine and a six-axis robot are used to perform full welding between the heat sinks and the oil collection pipes. S2, pressure testing and welding of the loose material: Install a pressure testing flange on the end of the loose material's oil collection pipe, hoist the loose material into a clean water tank, inflate it with 0.2MPa of air, illuminate the weld seam with a strong flashlight, mark any leaks with a stone pencil, thoroughly check all weld seams, release the gas until the pressure is 0, then weld the marked leak points; inflate again with 0.2MPa of air to find and weld any remaining air bubbles; if no leaks are found, place the loose material in a pressure holding tank and hold it for 30 minutes, maintaining a pressure of 0.2MPa for compliance. S3, internal processing of flakes and bulk materials, including internal cleaning agent rinsing and degreasing of flakes and bulk materials, internal drying of flakes and bulk materials, and internal coating of the inner wall of the can. S3-1, internal cleaning agent for degreasing of flakes and powders. First, rinse the inside of the flakes and powders with a cleaning agent at 5~45℃ and pH value 12-13. Use a water pump to circulate and rinse for 5-7 minutes. Then rinse with clean water and 1-2% cleaning and rust inhibitor for 3 minutes. Then stand the flakes and powders upright to drain until no more water drips. S3-2, Drying the inside of the flakes: After draining, the inside of the flakes is dried with a hot air blower. S3-3, the inner wall paint of the flakes is filled with a diaphragm pump, with the paint flowing out from the bottom and the top. The paint only needs to flow out for 5-8 seconds. Then the flakes are placed upright to drain the paint completely. Finally, the inner wall paint is dried with hot air. S4, external treatment of flakes, including external shot blasting of flakes, external degreasing of flakes, immersion in flake rust inhibitor, immersion in water with 1-2% rust inhibitor (the above three stations need to be equipped with iron powder and dust filtration devices) and external spraying of flakes. S4-1, external shot blasting of loose metal, with the oil collection pipe sealed with a flange plate, and a track-through shot blasting system is used to blast the surface of loose metal. The shot diameter is 0.8mm. Since there is oil on the surface of the loose metal plate, the oil stains of the shot blasting system need to be cleaned regularly (generally every 7-10 days) with waste containing oxide scale for several hours each time until the metal surface is bright. S4-2, external degreasing of flakes, using cleaning agent immersion to remove oil. The water tank is made according to the size of the flakes. It is recommended to make a steel plate water tank with a length of 3 meters, a width of 2 meters, and a depth of 0.8 meters, and a height of 0.7 meters, for a total volume of 4.2 cubic meters. The cleaning agent accounts for about 6-8% of the volume. The pH value is required to be 12-13. The pH value is maintained by adding cleaning agent every day during production. The water tank is cleaned and the tank solution is completely replaced every 30 days. S4-3, rust inhibitor immersion: The water tank is constructed according to the size of the flakes. It is recommended to construct a steel plate water tank with a length of 3 meters, a width of 2 meters, a depth of 0.8 meters, and a height of 0.7 meters, for a total volume of 4.2 cubic meters. The rust inhibitor should account for about 6-8% of the volume, and the pH value should be 8-9. Immerse the flakes in the rust inhibitor for 2-3 minutes. Add the rust inhibitor daily to maintain the pH value. Clean the water tank and completely replace the solution every 30 days. S4-4 is rinsed with clean water. The water tank is made according to the size of the flakes. It is recommended to make a steel plate water tank with a length of 3 meters, a width of 2 meters, and a depth of 0.8 meters, and a height of 0.7 meters, for a total volume of 4.2 cubic meters. Add 1-2% rust inhibitor to tap water to clean the surface of the flakes, and then let it air dry, air dry, or dry at 70-80℃. Clean the water tank thoroughly and change the tank solution every 3 days. S4-5, Iron powder and dust filtration device. S4-2, S4-3, and S4-4 all require filtration devices, as shown in the figure below. After three stages of filtration and one stage of iron powder magnetic attraction, the water in the pool is continuously filtered. The first stage filter cotton has a pore size of 100 microns, the second stage filter cotton has a pore size of 50 microns, and the third stage filter cotton has a pore size of 10 microns. Magnetic rods are installed at the water outlet, with a gap of 2-3 mm between the two magnetic rods.
[0007] S4-6, external coating of flakes, two coats of primer for C3 environment and three coats for C5 environment, drying after each coat, then one to two coats of topcoat, leveling, removing drips and spraying on the sides of the flakes, and then drying in the oven.
[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning agent is composed of potassium carbonate, activator, dispersant and corrosion inhibitor, which has both degreasing function and anti-flammation function.
[0009] Furthermore, the rust inhibitor is composed of triethanolamine, a complexing agent, and a silane coupling agent, forming a protective film on the surface of the steel plate, which can ensure that the steel plate will not rust within 3 days.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a coating process for transformer plate radiators. After the plate radiators are pressure-tested and welded, the interior is first rinsed with a cleaning agent, then rinsed with water and rust inhibitor, using a water pump for circulating rinsing. The plate radiators are then stood upright to drain water and dried with a hot air blower. A diaphragm pump is used to fill the inner wall paint of the plate radiators, with the bottom inlet and the top outlet. The inner wall paint is drained clean by standing the plate radiators upright and then dried with a hot air blower. The exterior of the plate radiators is shot-blasted with shot with a diameter of 0.8 mm. Since there is oil on the plate radiator surface, the shot blasting system needs to be cleaned regularly with shot blasting waste containing oxide scale to remove oil stains. The cleaning agent is used to remove oil, and the plate radiators are immersed in rust inhibitor to form a protective film to prevent rusting. Then, the plate radiators are immersed in water with a trace amount of rust inhibitor and air-dried or blown dry with hot air, which can ensure that the plate radiators will not rust for 72 hours. Finally, the plate radiators are coated with primer and topcoat. This invention relates to the welding of sheet metal parts, shot blasting of sheet metal parts, and internal degreasing and coating process for sheet metal parts. Through this coating process, the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the paint on sheet metal parts are significantly improved. Attached Figure Description

The power head at the 2nd end of the positioner moves towards the middle to clamp the radiator fins, and the operator starts welding. The robot starts to handle the required workpieces in the next welding area. When there is material in both spot welding stations, the assembly line supplies materials, and the robot grabs the workpieces and places them on the turnover material platform. There is no need to use expensive laser degreasing equipment.

Then the flakes are placed upright to drain the paint completely. Finally, the inner wall paint is dried with hot air. S4-1: External shot blasting of loose metal sheets. The oil collection pipe is sealed with a flange plate. A track-type shot blasting system is used to blast the surface of loose metal sheets. The shot diameter is 0.8mm. Since there is oil on the surface of the loose metal sheets, the oil stains of the shot blasting system need to be cleaned regularly (usually every 7-10 days) with waste containing oxide scale for several hours each time until the metal surface is bright. S4-2: External degreasing of flakes. Use a cleaning agent to soak and remove oil. Build a water tank according to the size of the flakes.

[0022] This invention relates to a coating process for transformer finned radiators. After pressure welding and repair of the finned sections, the interior is first rinsed with a cleaning agent, then rinsed again with water and a rust inhibitor, using a water pump for circulating rinsing. The finned sections are then stood upright to drain and dried internally with a hot air blower. A diaphragm pump is used to fill the inner wall of the finned sections with paint, with the paint flowing from the bottom to the top. The finned sections are then stood upright to drain the paint completely, and the inner wall paint is dried with a hot air blower. The exterior of the finned sections is shot-blasted with 0.8mm diameter shot. Due to oil on the surface of the finned sections, the shot-blasting system needs to be periodically cleaned with waste shot containing oxide scale to remove oil stains. The finned sections are then degreased using a cleaning agent, immersed in a rust inhibitor to form a protective film to prevent rusting, and then immersed in water containing a trace amount of rust inhibitor. They are then air-dried or blown dry with hot air, ensuring they will not rust for 72 hours. Finally, the finned sections are coated with primer and topcoat. This invention relates to the processing and welding of sheet metal, shot blasting of sheet metal, internal degreasing and coating of sheet metal, and external degreasing and coating of sheet metal, which significantly improves the adhesion and corrosion resistance of sheet metal coatings.
