Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of parts processing, and in particular relates to an electrolytic polishing device for local processing of part surfaces. Background Art

[0002] During the mechanical manufacturing process, various processing methods, both individually and in combination, act on parts, generating residual stress inside the parts. This residual stress has a significant impact on mechanical parts or components, and therefore, it is necessary to measure the residual stress of mechanical parts. Currently, X-ray diffraction is a relatively accurate and commonly used method for measuring metal parts. In the process of measuring residual stress using X-ray diffraction, it is sometimes necessary to remove metal oxides and the like from the surface of the part to be measured, or to peel the part layer by layer to measure the stress gradient, which requires pretreatment of the part. Given the measurement principle of X-ray diffraction, mechanical processing methods such as cutting, milling, and grinding can have a significant impact on the residual stress of the part, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. It has now been proven that electrolytic polishing does not affect the residual stress of parts. Therefore, electrolytic polishing is generally used as the pretreatment method before measuring the residual stress of parts.

[0003] For small parts, electrolytic polishing can be performed by immersion. However, for larger parts or parts that cannot be moved at the processing or use site, a portable electrolytic polishing device is required for pretreatment before measuring residual stress. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Furthermore, the connecting ring 2 passes through the coating head 1 and is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the liquid storage tube 3, and the flow regulating orifice 4 is arranged inside the connecting ring 2. This connection method ensures the stability of the connection between the coating head 1 and the liquid storage tube 3. When adjusting the flow rate, it is necessary to loosen the connecting ring 2 partially, fix it with the central copper electrode, rotate the flow regulating orifice 4, and then tighten the connecting ring 2 after adjusting the flow rate.

[0030] Furthermore, the liquid storage tube 3 is a cylindrical structure, and the coating head 1 includes an integral cylindrical body and a truncated cone. The outer diameter of the cylindrical body is consistent with the outer diameter of the liquid storage tube, and the connecting ring 2 is connected to the outer wall of the cylindrical body and the liquid storage tube.

Connect the positive pole of the DC power supply to the end of the copper electrode 5, between the rubber seal 6 and the nut 7, and tighten the nut 7. Connect the negative pole of the DC power supply to the cathode magnet 8 through the cathode connector 9.

[0038] When in use, the DC power supply is turned on to perform electrolytic corrosion on the surface of the part.
