Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aluminum electrochemical polishing, and particularly relates to an electro-polishing and tank-changing system. Background Art

[0002] Due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, good thermal and electrical conductivity, excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness, aluminum alloy has become the preferred material in the fields of modern automotive manufacturing and building materials.

[0003] The application of electrophoretic surface treatment technology further improves the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and alkali resistance of aluminum and aluminum alloy products. Among them, electrochemical polishing is one of the key processes, which can effectively improve the surface quality of the products.

[0004] However, with the increase of aluminum ion concentration during the electrochemical polishing process, the bath solution needs to be replaced regularly. Moreover, in production, products often fall off into the bath, causing short-circuit problems, resulting in damage to products or electrodes, and frequent tank-changing and salvage work are required.

[0005] The existing tank design has deficiencies, specifically manifested as follows:

[0006] 1. Lack of a supporting tank for temporarily storing the tank-changing solution, which increases the operation complexity;

[0007] 2. The pump body needs to be moved frequently, which not only reduces work efficiency but also poses a safety hazard to employees due to the strong acidic nature of the electrochemical polishing solution;

[0008] 3. Due to space limitations and cost considerations in the production line, usually a spare tank is not equipped for each electrochemical polishing tank, making the tank-changing operation more inconvenient. Summary of the Utility Model

[0009] The utility model aims at the above problems existing in the prior art and provides an electro-polishing and tank-changing system that is convenient for tank-changing operations.

[0010] The utility model can be realized by the following technical solutions:

[0014] A diaphragm pump is arranged on the pipeline between the electrochemical polishing tank and the acid solution storage barrel, and a plurality of valves are provided on the pipeline. By opening the diaphragm pump and the valves, the solution in the electrochemical polishing tank can be pumped into the acid solution storage barrel through the pipeline, and vice versa, the solution in the acid solution storage barrel can also be pumped into the electrochemical polishing tank through the pipeline.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the electrochemical polishing tank can be set to two, namely the first electrochemical polishing tank and the second electrochemical polishing tank respectively.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the first electrochemical polishing tank and the second electrochemical polishing tank are communicated with each acid solution storage barrel through a first main pipeline;

[0017] Each acid solution storage barrel is communicated with the first electrochemical polishing tank and the second electrochemical polishing tank through a second main pipeline.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the first electrochemical polishing tank and the second electrochemical polishing tank respectively have a first branch pipeline and a second branch pipeline, wherein,

[0019] The first branch pipeline and the second branch pipeline are arranged in parallel and are respectively communicated with the first main pipeline and the second main pipeline.

[0020] As a further improvement of the present utility model, a first valve and a second valve are respectively provided on the first branch pipeline and the second branch pipeline.

[0021] As a further improvement of the present utility model, a third valve and a fourth valve are provided on the first main pipeline, and the third valve and the fourth valve are respectively located at the inflow end and the outflow end of the diaphragm pump.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] In the actual production process, once a product falls off the fixture and drops into the tank, just by opening the diaphragm pump and the corresponding valves, the solution in the electrochemical polishing tank can be pumped through the pipeline into the acid solution storage barrel, so as to facilitate the staff to fish out the dropped product in the tank;

[0029] After the product is fished out, open the diaphragm pump and the corresponding valves again, and the solution in the acid solution storage barrel can be pumped through the pipeline back into the electrochemical polishing tank;

[0030] For the whole process of tank emptying and refilling, the staff only need to open the diaphragm pump and the corresponding valves, which is simple, convenient and efficient, and eliminates the potential safety hazards existing in the manual tank emptying process. Description of the Drawings

[0043] An electro-chemical polishing tank, the number of which is at least one;

[0044] An acid solution storage barrel 120, the number of which is at least one, and the sum of the volumes of each acid solution storage barrel 120 is greater than the sum of the volumes of each electro-chemical polishing tank.
