TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to micro arc oxidation frock technical field, specifically, relate to a micro arc oxidation frock. BACKGROUND
[0002] Micro arc oxidation technology is a kind of technology that is commonly used for magnesium, aluminum and its alloy surface in electrolyte using applied electric field to make its surface in situ reaction to generate its own metal oxide. Figure 1 It is a kind of micro arc oxidation equipment structure schematic diagram in prior art, from Figure 1 It can be seen from the aluminum, magnesium alloy product using special frock fixture fixed as anode, placed in the electrolyte of pulse electric field environment, product surface occurs plasma discharge due to the action of terminal voltage, the high temperature and high pressure conditions generated make the aluminum, magnesium atom of micro area and the oxygen or additive in solution combine to generate the ceramic layer such as alumina, magnesium oxide, silicon dioxide and matrix metallurgical bonding.In this process, special frock fixture needs to be soaked in electrolyte solution with product, the main functions of fixture are: one, provide the conductive effect for product, so that the product can occur micro-arc oxidation reaction;Two, provide support fixed effect for product, avoid product to shake in the electrolyte with compressed air stirring and cause poor contact and lead to product ablation.
[0003] In the micro-arc oxidation process, titanium alloy or aluminum alloy material is generally used as the material of the clamp, but since the clamp metal surface will generate an oxide film in the solution, and the oxide film is insulating, therefore, the oxide film on the clamp needs to be removed after each micro-arc oxidation, but the base material of the clamp will be worn out during each removal process.As the clamp is recycled, when the clamp is worn out to a certain extent, the clamp needs to be repaired or replaced, however, the existing clamp is an integral structure, and the entire clamp needs to be repaired or replaced when the clamp is repaired or replaced, thus resulting in high frock maintenance cost, and high micro-arc oxidation production cost.
[0004] In addition, some micro-arc oxidation frock of 3C type light and thin magnesium, aluminum alloy products such as Figure 2As shown, the commonly used clamp is two-point support, and the product is fixed by the elasticity of the clamp. Generally, the fixture clamp is made of aluminum alloy, and some products with high elasticity requirements or special needs use titanium alloy; for the fixture main body, aluminum rods are generally used for cost considerations; and the entire fixture is then wrapped with plastic with acid and alkali resistance and high temperature resistance except for the position in contact with the product. However, whether the clamp is made of titanium alloy or aluminum alloy, after a micro-arc oxidation production, the part of the clamp where the oxide film is formed needs to be removed, and the conductive metal is exposed before the next production cycle. Therefore, as the number of uses of the clamp increases, the position of the clamp where the film is repeatedly formed and removed will gradually thin, soften or the sharp end will gradually become thin, and finally cannot achieve the function of fixing the product.
[0005] In addition, there are differences in the removal method of the clamp in the prior art. The oxide film of the titanium alloy fixture is generally removed by sandblasting or placing the fixture in a solution containing hydrofluoric acid, so either a sandblasting device needs to be added or a solution containing hydrogen fluoride needs to be used during production. However, whether to add a sandblasting device or to treat wastewater containing titanium elements and hydrogen fluoride (produced after removing the film using a solution containing hydrogen fluoride) will increase additional investment. Since the aluminum alloy fixture is used, its oxide film is generally removed by a solution mainly containing sodium hydroxide, which has obvious advantages in environmental protection and wastewater treatment in terms of difficulty and cost, so to reduce investment costs, the micro-arc oxidation fixture usually uses an aluminum alloy fixture. However, the elasticity of the aluminum alloy clamp is poorer than that of the titanium alloy, especially after the number of product hanging reaches a certain number, the clamp will become soft, making it unable to fix the product, so it needs to be repaired or replaced, resulting in a short service life of the aluminum alloy clamp. In addition, when the clamp is repaired or replaced, the plastic with acid and alkali resistance and high temperature resistance wrapped around the outside of the clamp and the connection between the clamp and the fixture main body needs to be removed, which is low in maintenance efficiency and troublesome. Practical new type content
[0006] In view of the defects in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a micro-arc oxidation fixture, which uses a split fixture clamp and selects materials according to the characteristics of each structure of the fixture, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the fixture and reducing the maintenance cost of the fixture.
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a micro-arc oxidation fixture, comprising a fixture main body, at least one fixture clamp is arranged on the fixture main body;
[0008] The tool clamp comprises a clamp body, a tool body which is detachably connected with the clamp body, at least two clamp end portions provided on the clamp body, and a hanging tooth which is detachably connected with the clamp end portion, wherein the clamp body and the hanging tooth are made of different materials, and the elasticity of the material of the clamp body is greater than that of the material of the hanging tooth.
[0009] Further, the clamp body is made of titanium alloy.
[0010] Further, the hanging tooth is made of aluminum alloy.
[0011] Further, the clamp body is wrapped with acid and alkali resistant material on the outside, the acid and alkali resistant material is located between each hanging tooth, and the end portion of the acid and alkali resistant material is in contact with the end portion of the hanging tooth.
[0012] Further, the hanging tooth and the clamp body are wrapped with acid and alkali resistant insulation material on the outside.
[0013] Further, the shapes of each hanging tooth provided on the clamp body are the same or different.
[0014] Further, the tool body comprises a first connecting rod, and the clamp body is detachably connected with the first connecting rod.
[0015] Further, the tool body comprises a first connecting rod, at least one second connecting rod is provided on the first connecting rod, and the clamp body is detachably connected with the second connecting rod.
[0016] Further, the shape of the hanging tooth is triangular, trapezoidal or a combination shape of triangular at one end and trapezoidal at the other end.
[0017] Further, the tool body is detachably connected with the clamp body through a tool connecting piece, and the hanging tooth is detachably connected with the clamp body through a clamp connecting piece.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the tool clamp has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] (1) The split tool clamp is adopted, and the material of each structure of the tool is selected, that is, the tool clamp is composed of a clamp body and a replaceable hanging tooth, the clamp body and the hanging tooth are detachably connected, the materials of the clamp body and the hanging tooth are different, and the elasticity of the material of the clamp body is greater than that of the material of the hanging tooth. Therefore, only the hanging tooth needs to be repaired or replaced during maintenance of the tool clamp, avoiding the need for overall repair or replacement of the integrated clamp in the prior art, prolonging the overall service life of the micro-arc oxidation tool, reducing the tool maintenance cost, and simplifying the post-micro-arc oxidation reaction film removal treatment of the tool, thereby reducing the processing cost.
[0020] (2) The clamp body is made of titanium alloy material, and the hanging tooth is made of aluminum alloy material. Since the elasticity of titanium alloy is stronger than that of aluminum alloy, compared with the integrated aluminum alloy clamp in the prior art, the tool clamp in the present application can effectively avoid the problem of loss of elasticity caused by too many uses, thereby prolonging the overall service life of the micro-arc oxidation tool. In addition, since the outer side of the non-joined part of the clamp body and the hanging tooth is wrapped with acid and alkali resistant material, and the outer side of the joint is wrapped with acid and alkali resistant insulation material, the outer side of the clamp body will not generate an oxide film during the micro-arc oxidation reaction. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a film removal solution containing hydrofluoric acid to remove the film of the clamp body, thereby reducing the treatment cost of waste water and waste gas.
[0021] (3) Since only the sharp part of the replaceable aluminum alloy hanging tooth of the tool clamp is exposed to the electrolyte solution for micro-arc oxidation reaction, only the sharp part of the aluminum alloy hanging tooth needs to be treated with sodium hydroxide solution for film removal during film removal, improving the convenience of film removal solution management and reducing the treatment cost of waste water and waste gas generated by film removal.
[0022] (4) Since the outer side of the clamp body is wrapped in sections, only the acid and alkali resistant insulation material wrapped at the joint between the clamp body and the hanging tooth needs to be removed when replacing the hanging tooth, reducing the difficulty of replacing the hanging tooth and improving the efficiency of tool maintenance.
[0023] (5) Since only the hanging tooth needs to be replaced during tool maintenance, and the entire tool clamp does not need to be replaced, the consumables are only the hanging tooth, not the entire tool clamp, effectively avoiding the resource waste caused by replacement of the entire tool clamp in the prior art, achieving the effect of reducing the tool maintenance cost.
[0024] (6) The shape of the hanging tooth can be designed according to requirements, that is, hanging teeth of different lengths and different sharp tips can be designed to adapt to different products, expanding the application range of a single tool, improving the utilization rate of the tool, avoiding resource waste caused by the need for a new tool for a product, and thereby reducing the micro-arc oxidation production cost.
