[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the traditional oxidation tooling structure and parts assembly, such as Figure 1 As shown, the traditional oxidation hanger structure utilizes the elasticity of the tooling hook to clamp a certain part of the part, relying on its contact pressure to ensure good electrical conductivity during the oxidation process. The clamping part of the part and the part undergo an electrochemical reaction because they cannot contact the bath liquid, thus easily forming a tooling hanger mark. In some embodiments, for the hard anodizing of aluminum parts with specific process requirements, a higher current density and longer oxidation time are required to ensure the thickness and hardness of the oxide film layer specified by the technical requirements. The oxidation tooling must have sufficient conductivity to ensure the normal oxidation process. To prevent the formation of a non-conductive oxide film due to loose contact of the tooling hook, which affects the continued formation of the oxide film layer, the tooling hook requires strong elasticity. As a result, the traditional oxidation tooling leaves a large hanger mark on the edge of the part. Due to the part design structure, bubble marks are also left on the inner surface of the part, that is, there is no oxide layer. In summary, the existing traditional oxidation tooling cannot meet production needs. In order to meet the technical requirements of the part while ensuring the appearance quality of the part's oxide film layer, the present invention provides a hard anodizing device.

[0036] The following combination Figure 2-Figure 7 The hard anodizing device of the utility model and the structure of each component are described in detail.

[0037] like Figure 2-Figure 7 As shown, the utility model provides a hard anodizing device for hard anodizing an aluminum part 5, comprising a main rod 1, a plurality of pad groups and a plurality of conductive shafts 3.

[0038] The main rod 1 has a hanging end with a bent hook 11 for hanging with an oxidation tank for hard anodizing. The main rod 1 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 12 at equal intervals.

[0039] The bent hook 11 on the main rod 1 provides a stable connection point, ensuring the stable hanging of the tooling in the oxidation tank and preventing processing errors caused by unstable hanging. The equally spaced first mounting holes 12 design makes the installation of the conductive shaft 3 and the pad group more convenient and quick, improves the installation efficiency and positioning accuracy of the tooling, and at the same time ensures that the conductive shaft 3 on the entire main rod 1 is evenly distributed, which helps to achieve uniform distribution of current during the oxidation process, thereby improving the uniformity of the oxide film.

[0040] A plurality of pad groups are fixedly connected to the main rod 1 corresponding to the plurality of first mounting holes 12. A first threaded through hole is provided on the pad group. The first threaded through hole is coaxial with the first mounting hole 12 and the axes thereof form an angle;

[0041] The design of the angle helps to optimize the current path between the conductive shaft 3 and the main rod 1, reduce the risk of current concentration and overheating, improve the safety and efficiency of the oxidation process, and enable the aluminum part 5 to be installed in the hard anodizing device without contact. At the same time, the pad group increases the contact area with the main rod 1, improves the stability and conductivity of the structure, and helps to make the oxide film layer more uniform.

[0042] Multiple conductive shafts 3, each having a mounting end 31 and an assembly end 32. The mounting end 31 is threadedly connected to the spacer assembly through the first threaded through-hole. The multiple conductive shafts 3 are staggered left and right along the length of the main rod 1. The assembly ends 32 are all located obliquely below the mounting end 31 and are threadedly connected to the aluminum part 5.

[0043] The mounting end 31 of each conductive shaft 3 is screwed to the pad assembly via a threaded through hole, ensuring a secure connection to the main rod 1 with excellent conductivity. The staggered arrangement of the conductive shafts 3 along the length of the main rod 1 provides greater flexibility and adaptability, allowing them to accommodate aluminum parts 5 of different shapes and sizes while ensuring that there is no interference between the aluminum parts 5. The staggered arrangement of the conductive shafts 3 and the design of the obliquely downward assembly end 32 reduce direct pressure on the surface of the part, thereby reducing the risk of contact marks on the surface of the part. The assembly end 32 of the conductive shaft 3 is screwed to the aluminum part 5, further avoiding tooling marks and solving the problem of the clamping part not being able to fully contact the tank liquid, ensuring the uniformity and integrity of the oxide film. This also facilitates the loading and unloading of the aluminum part 5 and improves work efficiency.

[0044] Multiple nuts 4, the conductive shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the spacer group through the nuts 4.

[0045] Preferably, if Figure 6-7As shown, the pad group includes two wedge-shaped pads 2, each wedge-shaped pad 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 23, the bottom surfaces of the two wedge-shaped pads 2 are both in close contact with the main rod 1 and the two wedge-shaped pads 2 are rotationally symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the main rod 1, the two second mounting holes 23 of the two wedge-shaped pads 2 are connected to form a first threaded through hole, and the wedge-shaped pads 2 adjacent to each other along the length direction of the main rod 1 are mirror-symmetrically arranged.

[0046] Preferably, the main rod 1 and the plurality of pad blocks are all made of aluminum alloy.

[0047] Preferably, the multiple conductive shafts 3 and the multiple nuts 4 are all made of titanium alloy. Titanium alloy materials can be used without stripping after the parts are oxidized, avoiding the need for stripping when reused, effectively shortening the production cycle and extending the service life of the hard anodized tooling.

[0048] Preferably, the plurality of pad block groups are fixed to the main rod 1 by welding. The pad and the main rod 1 adopt a welded structure, which can ensure the strength and electrical conductivity of the tooling and reduce production costs.

[0049] Preferably, the aluminum parts 5 are each provided with a wire screw hole, through which the aluminum parts 5 are screwed to the conductive shaft 3 .

[0050] Preferably, the main rod 1 is a titanium alloy plate.

[0051] Preferably, the bending hook 11 and the main rod 1 are integrated.

[0052] Preferably, the bending hook 11 and the main rod 1 are formed by bending a titanium alloy plate in one piece. The one-piece bending hook 11 helps to evenly distribute stress and reduce the risk of breakage or deformation.

Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
