Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the production and processing technology of bicycle shock-absorbing front fork tubes, and specifically relates to a hard anodizing fixture device for bicycle shock-absorbing front fork tubes. Background Art

[0002] At present, when producing and processing bicycle shock-absorbing tubes, surface oxidation treatment of the inner and outer walls is required to form an oxide film. The most common oxidation treatment method is to fix the workpiece on the anode in the electrolyte, and through the electrolytic anodic oxidation reaction between the electrolyte and the cathode, a dense anodic oxide film is formed on the inner and outer surfaces of the shock-absorbing front fork tube, and its main component is alumina.

[0003] At present, when a bicycle shock-absorbing tube undergoes electrolytic oxidation, due to the tubular structure of the front fork tube, its inner wall does not directly face the cathode in the electrolyte, and the oxidation reaction during electrolysis is relatively weaker than that of the outer wall, so the inner wall film thickness is relatively thin. When the outer surface film thickness of the shock-absorbing tube after hard anodizing is 25um, the inner surface film thickness is only 8um, and the wear resistance of the inner surface is unqualified. The inner and outer surfaces of this product are functional parts and have high requirements for wear resistance. If the inner surface film thickness is too low, the wear resistance cannot meet the requirements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a hard anodizing fixture device for bicycle shock-absorbing front fork tubes, so as to improve the problem that the inner wall of the front fork tube cannot directly face the cathode during electrolysis, resulting in too low anodic oxide film thickness on the inner wall.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A hard anodizing fixture device for bicycle shock-absorbing front fork tubes includes an anodic oxidation fixture capable of hanging multiple front fork tubes, and also includes an auxiliary cathode fixture.

A plurality of metal upper teeth are connected to the metal upper support rod, and a plurality of metal lower teeth are connected to the metal lower support rod. The metal upper teeth and the metal lower teeth cooperate up and down to jointly clamp the front fork tube.

The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0021] As Figure 1-2 shown, this embodiment discloses a hard anodizing hanging tool device for a bicycle shock-absorbing front fork tube, which mainly includes an anodic oxidation hanging tool, an auxiliary cathode conductive beam 1, an auxiliary cathode hanging tool, etc. The main structure of the anodic oxidation hanging tool is made of titanium material. The anodic oxidation hanging tool includes an anodic conductive beam 2, an anodic frame 3, a metal upper support rod 4 and a metal lower support rod 5. The top metal hook of the anodic frame 3 is connected to the anodic conductive beam 2. The metal upper support rod 4 and the metal lower support rod 5 are horizontally distributed up and down on the anodic frame 3 and are fixedly connected. 20 - 30 metal upper teeth 6 are fixedly installed on the metal upper support rod 4, and the same number of metal lower teeth 7 are installed on the metal lower support rod 5. The metal upper teeth 6 and the metal lower teeth 7 are aligned up and down, and the metal upper teeth 6 and the metal lower teeth 7 cooperate up and down to jointly clamp the front fork tube 10.

[0022] The auxiliary cathode hanging tool mainly includes a metal cross bar 8 and auxiliary cathode rods 9 equal in number to the metal upper teeth 6, etc. The metal cross bar 8 is horizontally fixed on the anodic frame 3, and the connection between the metal cross bar 8 and the anodic frame 3 is insulated with a 10 mm thick Teflon layer. A plurality of metal cantilevers are fixedly connected to the metal cross bar 8, and the ends of the metal cantilevers are fixedly connected to the auxiliary cathode rods 9 one by one. The auxiliary cathode rods 9 are made of lead rods, and their outer diameters are smaller than the inner diameter of the front fork tube. When the metal upper teeth 6 and the metal lower teeth 7 cooperate up and down to jointly clamp the front fork tube, the auxiliary cathode rods 9 can be inserted into the front fork tube. Three metal connecting rods are connected to the auxiliary cathode conductive beam 1. The metal connecting rods vertically penetrate the anodic conductive beam 2 and are fixedly connected to the metal cross bar 8, and the connection between the metal connecting rod and the anodic conductive beam 2 is insulated.

[0023] The specific working process of the hard anodizing hanging tool device for the bicycle shock-absorbing front fork tube in this embodiment is as follows:

[0024] Insert the upper end of the front fork tube from bottom to top into the auxiliary cathode rod, so that the upper end of the front fork tube abuts against the metal upper clamping teeth. Then press down the end of the metal lower clamping teeth to make it bend downward, so that the metal lower clamping teeth abut against the lower end of the front fork tube, thereby enabling the metal upper clamping teeth and the metal lower clamping teeth to cooperate up and down to jointly clamp the front fork tube. At the same time, the auxiliary cathode rod is inserted into the front fork tube. When all the front fork tubes are assembled on the anodic oxidation hanger, immerse the entire anodic oxidation hanger into the electrolyte. During the electrolytic oxidation treatment, the outer wall of the front fork tube faces the cathode in the electrolytic cell, and the inner wall of the front fork tube faces the auxiliary cathode rod, which improves the electrical conductivity during the electrolysis of the inner wall of the front fork tube, and finally makes the thickness of the oxide film on the inner wall and the outer wall of the front fork tube relatively consistent, avoiding too large a gap. The anodic oxidation of the inner surface and the outer surface of the front fork tube can obtain equal oxide film layers, meeting the wear resistance requirements of the shock absorber tube.
