Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum anodizing technology, specifically to a multi-station integrated aluminum anodizing forming system. Background Technology
[0002] Anodizing of aluminum parts is an electrochemical surface treatment process in which aluminum / aluminum alloy parts are immersed in an electrolyte such as sulfuric acid and an electric current is applied to grow a dense and porous aluminum oxide film on the surface in situ, which is metallurgically bonded to the substrate. This film can significantly improve the corrosion resistance, wear resistance and insulation of aluminum parts, and can also achieve rich colors and textures through dyeing and sealing. It is widely used in electronics, construction, automobiles and other fields. Therefore, the aluminum parts anodizing forming system is an important step in the processing.
[0003] However, existing technologies have problems such as the belt being easily damaged due to long-term linkage friction between the belt and the moving platform, which affects the actual use effect. At the same time, simply adding workstations for feeding operations can lead to the final discharge being too far apart, making it difficult to pick up the material. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the linkage structure of the device, which causes long-term linkage friction between the belt and the moving platform at one position, is prone to belt damage and affects the actual use effect. At the same time, the problem that simply adding a station for feeding operation will result in the final discharge being too far apart and not easy to pick up the material is still present. Therefore, a multi-station integrated aluminum anodizing forming system is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: Design a multi-station integrated aluminum anodizing forming system, including a main beam and a bottom support. The main beam is fixed to both sides of the upper end of multiple bottom supports. A box support is fixed to the bottom outer wall of each bottom support. A lateral seal is machined on one side of the outer wall of the box support. Linkage components are provided at both ends of the main beam. Feeding components are distributed on the front and rear sides above the main beam.
[0006] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a perforated hopper, ear plates, a top plate, a moving platform, multi-stage electric push rods, vertical rods, and sliders; Multiple mobile platforms are located on the front and rear sides above the main beam. Slider blocks are fixed to both sides of the outer wall of each mobile platform. The outer wall of the slider is slidably connected to the channel of the main beam. A perforated material box is slidably connected to the center of the inside of each mobile platform. Ear plates are installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the perforated material box. The upper center of the ear plates is fixedly connected to the top plate through a vertical rod. Multi-stage electric push rods are fixed to the four corners of the upper end of each mobile platform. The output shaft ends of the multi-stage electric push rods are all fixedly connected to the top plate. This setup: Through the design of multi-stage electric push rods, top plate, vertical rod, ear plate, and perforated hopper, the output shaft of the multi-stage electric push rod can drive the top plate, vertical rod, and ear plate to move the perforated hopper downwards. The perforated hopper can then immerse the aluminum anode inside it below the liquid surface. After the preset immersion time is reached, the output shaft of the multi-stage electric push rod is controlled to lift the perforated hopper and the aluminum anode inside, restoring the height.
[0007] Preferably, a solution tank is stacked on top of the box support, and one side of the outer wall of the solution tank is in contact with a lateral seal. Preferably, the solution tanks at the front and rear ends correspond to the perforated material tank in the vertical direction. Preferably, the linkage component includes a self-locking cylinder, a slide plate, a toothed belt, a servo motor, a toothed pulley, and a connecting plate; Multiple servo motors are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the main beam. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the toothed pulley. The outer wall of the rotating shaft of the toothed pulley is rotatably connected to the main beam through bearings. The outer wall of the toothed pulley is rotatably connected through a toothed belt. Multiple self-locking cylinders are fixedly connected to the center of the upper left and right sides of the moving platform. The output shaft of the self-locking cylinder is fixedly connected to the insert plate through a connecting plate.
[0008] This feature: Through the design of a self-locking cylinder, connector, insert plate, and toothed belt, the output shaft of the self-locking cylinder can drive the insert plate to move downward through the connector plate, so that the bottom of the insert plate presses against the upper surface of the toothed belt to form a large friction force. The rotation of the toothed belt can drive the rear moving platform to move forward, so that the perforated material box on the rear side is aligned with the corresponding solution box above.
[0009] Preferably, the insert plate extends through and is slidably connected to the interior of both sides of the moving platform, and the insert plate corresponds to the toothed belt in the vertical direction. Preferably, a crossbeam is fixed to the upper part of the inner wall of the bottom support. Preferably, the bottom bracket has support feet fixed to both sides of its lower end.
[0010] The multi-station integrated aluminum anodizing forming system proposed in this invention has the following advantages: By coordinating the self-locking cylinder, insert plate, toothed belt, perforated hopper, and moving platform, the self-locking cylinder on the front side is controlled to press the insert plate against the toothed belt. Then, the servo motor is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the moving platform on the front side to move backward, so that the perforated hopper on the front side is aligned with the top of hopper 1. After alignment, the self-locking cylinder on the front side is controlled to retract. By continuously repeating the above process, the perforated hoppers at the two workstations can be moved and aligned. At the same time, since the moving platform on one side is moved, the connection is released and the toothed belt is controlled to reverse. When the toothed belt on this side is moved, the insert plate will press against different positions of the toothed belt. Each toothed belt can repeatedly press against the insert plate to share friction loss, effectively avoiding the problem that the existing linkage structure is prone to belt damage due to long-term linkage friction between the belt and the moving platform at one position, which affects the specific use effect. By coordinating the perforated hopper, moving platform, main beam, servo motor, toothed belt, and insert plate, the perforated hoppers on both sides are moved sequentially to align above hopper 2 until the perforated hoppers on both sides have completed all solution immersion processing (i.e., oxidation processing) at hopper 4. At this point, the front and rear moving platforms are joined together in the middle of the main beam. Then, all self-locking cylinder output shafts on both sides are controlled simultaneously to drive the insert plate downwards to press against the toothed belt. The servo motor is then controlled to drive the two joined moving platforms and perforated hoppers forward synchronously, so that the moving platforms of the two workstations move side by side to the front empty space, making it convenient for the operator to remove the aluminum anode (bar stock) from one position. This effectively avoids the problem that simply adding workstations for feeding operations would result in the final output being too far apart, making it difficult to pick up the material.

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: See attached document Figure 1-8 In this embodiment, a multi-station integrated aluminum anodizing forming system includes a main beam 1 and a bottom support 7. The main beam 1 is fixed to both sides of the upper end of multiple bottom supports 7. A box support 6 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of each bottom support 7. A lateral seal 9 is machined on one side of the outer wall of the box support 6. Linkage components 4 are installed at both ends of the main beam 1. Feeding components 3 are distributed on both the front and rear sides above the main beam 1. Solution tanks 2 are stacked on top of the box supports 6. Four solution tanks 2 form a group, numbered 1-4 from the outside to the inside. Tank 1 is used as an alkaline etching tank, filled with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution + additives (sodium silicate / sodium phosphate / special alkaline etching agent), its function being to thoroughly remove oil, remove natural oxide scale, and unify the surface. Tank 2 is used as a neutralization tank, filled with nitric acid (HNO3) + The sulfuric acid (H2SO4) mixture serves to remove black ash from the surface after alkaline etching, neutralize residual alkali, and prevent contamination of the oxidation tank. Tank No. 3 is used as an anodizing tank, filled with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) electrolyte, which generates a porous anodized film (Al2O3). Tank No. 4 is used as a sealing tank, filled with room temperature / medium temperature sealing agent, which seals the pores of the oxide film, prevents contamination, and improves corrosion resistance and hardness. One side of the outer wall of solution tank 2 is attached to the lateral plug 9. The front and rear end solution tanks 2 correspond to the perforated material tank 301 in the vertical direction. A crossbeam 5 is fixed to the upper part of the inner wall of the bottom support 7, and support feet 8 are fixed to both sides of the lower end of the bottom support 7. See attached document Figure 1-8 In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 3 includes a perforated hopper 301, an ear plate 302, a top plate 303, a moving platform 304, a multi-stage electric push rod 305, a vertical rod 306, and a slider 307. Multiple mobile platforms 304 are located on the front and rear sides above the main beam 1. Slider 307 is fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the mobile platform 304. The outer wall of the slider 307 is slidably connected to the channel of the main beam 1. The slider 307 enables the channel of the main beam 1 to provide sliding support for the mobile platform 304. A perforated material box 301 is slidably connected to the center of the inside of the mobile platform 304. The holes of the perforated material box 301 allow the solution to pass through and contact the aluminum anode inside when it descends. Ear plates 302 are installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the perforated material box 301. The center of the upper end of the ear plate 302 is fixedly connected to the top plate 303 through the vertical rod 306. Multi-stage electric push rods 305 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper end of the mobile platform 304. The model of the multi-stage electric push rod 305 can be determined according to the specific application. The output shaft ends of the multi-stage electric push rods 305 are fixedly connected to the top plate 303. See attached document Figure 1-8 In this embodiment, the linkage component 4 includes a self-locking cylinder 401, a slide plate 402, a toothed belt 403, a servo motor 404, a toothed pulley 405, and a connecting plate 406. Multiple servo motors 404 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the main beam 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 404 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the toothed pulley 405. The model of the servo motor 404 can be determined according to the specific application. Multiple servo motors 404 can achieve synchronous rotation and reverse rotation. The outer wall of the rotating shaft of the toothed pulley 405 is rotatably connected to the main beam 1 through bearings. The outer wall of the toothed pulley 405 is rotatably connected through the toothed belt 403. The model of the self-locking cylinder 401 can be determined according to the specific application. Multiple self-locking cylinders 401 are fixedly connected to the center of the upper left and right sides of the moving platform 304. The output shaft of the self-locking cylinder 401 is fixedly connected to the insert plate 402 through the connecting plate 406. The insert plate 402 moves downward to press against the upper part of the toothed belt 403, which has sufficient friction to achieve transmission linkage. The lower part of the insert plate 402 passes through and slides inside the two sides of the moving platform 304. The insert plate 402 and the toothed belt 403 correspond in the vertical direction. Working principle: When this multi-station integrated aluminum anodizing forming system is needed, first, the corresponding solutions are placed in multiple solution tanks 2. The four solution tanks 2 form a group, and are labeled as tanks 1-4 from the outside to the inside. Tank 1 is the alkaline etching tank, filled with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution + additives (sodium silicate / sodium phosphate / special alkaline etching agent). Its function is to thoroughly remove oil, remove natural oxide scale, and unify the surface. Tank 2 is the neutralization tank, filled with a mixture of nitric acid (HNO3) + sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Its function is to remove black ash from the surface after alkaline etching, neutralize residual alkali, and prevent contamination of the anodizing tank. Tank 3 is the anodizing tank, filled with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) electrolyte. Its function is to generate a porous anodized film (Al2O3). Tank 4 is the sealing tank, filled with room temperature / medium temperature sealing agent. Its function is to seal the pores of the oxide film, prevent contamination, and improve corrosion resistance and hardness. The above description is used to replenish the liquid in all solution tanks in the figure.
[0014] After completing the above operations, the user can place the aluminum anode (bar stock) inside the perforated bins 301 on both the front and rear sides. Then, the user first controls the rear self-locking cylinder 401, so that the output shaft of the self-locking cylinder 401 can drive the insert plate 402 to move downward through the connecting plate 406, so that the bottom of the insert plate 402 presses against the upper surface of the toothed belt 403 to form a large friction force. At this time, the user controls multiple servo motors 404 to start synchronously, so that the output shaft of the servo motor 404 drives the toothed belt 403 to rotate through the toothed pulley 405, driving the rear moving platform 304 to move forward, so that the perforated bin 301 on the rear side is aligned with the top of bin 1. After alignment, the user controls the rear self-locking cylinder 401 to retract, and then controls the front self-locking cylinder 401 in the same way to press the insert plate 402 and the toothed belt 403 together.
[0015] Then, the servo motor 404 is controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, driving the front moving platform 404 to move backward, so that the perforated material box 301 on the front side is aligned with the top of box 1. After alignment, the self-locking cylinder 401 on the front side is also controlled to retract. By continuously repeating the above process, the perforated material boxes 301 of the two workstations can be moved and aligned. At the same time, since the movement of one side of the moving platform 404 will disengage and control the toothed belt 403 to reverse (that is, drive the movement of the other side of the moving platform 404), when the toothed belt 403 on this side is moved, the insert plate 402 will press against different positions of the toothed belt 403. Each toothed belt 403 can repeatedly press against the insert plate 402 to share friction loss, effectively avoiding the problem that the existing linkage structure is prone to belt damage due to long-term linkage friction between the belt and the moving platform at one position, which affects the specific use effect.
[0016] Then, after aligning the two perforated material boxes 301 above the front and rear boxes 1 respectively, control the multi-stage electric push rod 305 so that its output shaft can drive the top plate 303, vertical rod 306, and ear plate 302 to move the perforated material box 301 downwards. This allows the aluminum anode (bar stock) inside the perforated material box 301 to be submerged below the liquid surface. After the preset immersion time is reached, control the output shaft of the multi-stage electric push rod 305 to lift the perforated material box 301 and the aluminum anode (bar stock) inside, restoring the height. Then, using the same method, move the perforated material boxes 301 on both sides to align them above the box 2, until the perforated material boxes 301 on both sides are completely positioned at the box 4. The process involves soaking the components in the solution (i.e., oxidation). At this point, the front and rear moving platforms 304 are joined together in the middle of the main beam 1. Simultaneously, the output shafts of all the self-locking cylinders 401 on both the front and rear sides are controlled to drive the insert plate 402 downward to press against the toothed belt 403. Then, the servo motor 404 is controlled to drive the two joined moving platforms 304 and the perforated material box 301 forward synchronously. This allows the moving platforms 304 of the two workstations to move side by side to the front empty space, making it convenient for the operator to remove the aluminum anode (bar) from one position. This effectively avoids the problem that simply adding workstations for feeding operations would result in the final output being too far apart, making it difficult to pick up the material.
[0017] Finally, repeat the above operation after material collection. In this case, the control process can be controlled by a PLC controller, which can be a servo motor 404, a self-locking cylinder 401, a multi-stage electric push rod 305, etc. The control content can include control, self-locking, linkage, stroke and other specific data control.
