[0021] Through the liquid pump 58, the liquid storage tank 57 and the liquid injection pipe 59, the predetermined amount of high manganese oxide and other strong oxidizing agent can be sprayed to the surface of the copper sheet, that is, the surface of the copper sheet can be oxidized, so as to solve the problem of the large reduction of the hardness of the copper sheet after high temperature annealing, and the hardness of the copper sheet is retained, which is convenient for transferring the oxidized copper sheet. After the oxidation of the copper sheet is completed, the water pump 55, the water storage tank 54 and the water injection pipe 56 can continuously spray water to the surface of the copper sheet, so as to remove the by-products generated in the oxidation process, such as MnO2 powder, and reduce the combination layer bubbles caused by the decomposition of copper oxides to generate oxygen, improve the thermal conductivity of the product, and cooperate with the ultrasonic vibrator inside the second conveyor 3 to vibrate the surface of the copper sheet after a period of flushing, so as to further improve the cleaning effect of the by-products generated in the oxidation process, such as MnO2 powder, and cooperate with the nanometer filter screen 51 to intercept the by-products such as MnO2 at the top and slide into the feed tank 52 through the feed port 53.

[0023] The oxidation assembly 5 comprises a nanometer filter screen 51 movably connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, the nanometer filter screen 51 is fixed between the shell 1 by bolts, the side of the shell 1 is fixedly connected with a material box 52, the opposite side of the shell 1 and the material box 52 is provided with an inlet 53, the inner wall of the shell 1 located below the nanometer filter screen 51 is fixedly connected with a water storage tank 54, the side of the shell 1 is fixedly connected with a water pump 55, the inner wall of the shell 1 located above the nanometer filter screen 51 is fixedly connected with a water spraying pipe 56, a plurality of water spraying heads are fixedly connected to the surface of the water spraying pipe 56, the side of the shell 1 located on one side of the water pump 55 is fixedly connected with a liquid storage tank 57, the top end of the liquid storage tank 57 is fixedly connected with a liquid pump 58, the inner wall of the shell 1 located on one side of the water spraying pipe 56 is fixedly connected with a liquid spraying pipe 59, and a plurality of liquid spraying heads are fixedly connected to the surface of the liquid spraying pipe 59. The liquid pump 58, the liquid storage tank 57 and the liquid spraying pipe 59 can spray a predetermined amount of strong oxidant such as high manganese dioxide onto the surface of the copper sheet, so that the surface of the copper sheet can be oxidized, thereby solving the problem that the hardness of the copper sheet is greatly reduced after high-temperature annealing, retaining the hardness of the copper sheet, facilitating the transfer of the oxidized copper sheet, and after the copper sheet is oxidized, the water pump 55, the water storage tank 54 and the water spraying pipe 56 can continuously spray water onto the surface of the copper sheet, so that the by-products generated in the oxidation process such as MnO2 powder on the surface of the copper sheet can be removed, the combination layer bubbles caused by the decomposition of copper oxides to produce oxygen are reduced, the thermal conductivity of the product is improved, and after a period of flushing, the ultrasonic vibrator in the second conveyor 3 can vibrate the surface of the copper sheet, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the by-products generated in the oxidation process such as MnO2 powder, and the nanometer filter screen 51 can intercept the by-products such as MnO2 at the top end and slide into the material box 52 through the inlet 53, and the water will fall back into the water storage tank 54 after passing through the nanometer filter screen 51, so that the by-products such as MnO2 can be collected, which is beneficial to improve the efficiency of the enterprise, and the water can be recycled, thereby effectively reducing the production cost.

[0024] The top surface of the first conveyor 2 is flush with the top surface of the second conveyor 3, and the moving seat 44 is in the shape of "L". The top surface of the first conveyor 2 being flush with the top surface of the second conveyor 3 ensures that there is no concave-convex part of the copper sheet during the conveying process, thereby ensuring that the copper sheet can be smoothly conveyed, and the moving seat 44 being in the shape of "L" ensures that the spray pipe 56 and the liquid spray pipe 59 do not hinder the movement of the moving seat 44 during the clamping of the copper sheet.

[0025] The stirring rod 6 is rotatably connected in the liquid storage tank 57, and the top end of the stirring rod 6 is fixedly connected with the stirring motor 7. When the strong oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate used is in powder form, the stirring motor 7 can drive the stirring rod 6 to rotate in the liquid storage tank 57, thereby ensuring that the potassium permanganate and other powders stored in the liquid storage tank 57 can be fully mixed with water, which is conducive to improving the oxidation effect of the copper sheet.

[0026] The nanometer filter screen 51 is in an inclined shape, and the water spray head and the liquid spray head are both in an inclined shape. The nanometer filter screen 51 in an inclined shape can guide the MnO2 and copper oxides into the material box 52 for centralized collection, and the water spray head and the liquid spray head in an inclined shape ensure that the strong oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate and water can be sprayed onto the surface of the copper sheet located at the middle part of the top end of the second conveyor 3.

[0027] Specific implementation: the copper sheet is placed on the top end of the first conveyor 2, which will convey the copper sheet to the top end of the second conveyor 3 located in the housing 1. After the second conveyor 3 operates for a period of time, it will be closed together with the first conveyor 2. At this time, the clamping motor 43 will be started and drive the two-way threaded rod 42 connected thereto to rotate, thereby causing the two moving seats 44 to move towards each other along the guide groove 41, and then drive the two clamping plates 45 to move towards the copper sheet located at the middle part of the top end of the second conveyor 3, thereby being able to limit the copper sheet and avoid displacement of the copper sheet during oxidation.

[0028] After the clamping plate 45 clamps the copper sheet, the liquid pump 58 will extract a predetermined amount of strong oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate in the liquid storage tank 57 and convey it into the liquid spray pipe 59 through the pipeline. The liquid spray pipe 59 sprays the strong oxidizing agent such as manganese oxide onto the surface of the copper sheet, which can oxidize the surface of the copper sheet, thereby solving the problem of a significant reduction in the hardness of the copper sheet after high-temperature annealing, retaining the hardness of the copper sheet, and facilitating the transfer of the oxidized copper sheet. Under the action of the strong oxidizing agent (potassium permanganate and catalyst, etc.), the surface of the copper sheet will undergo the following reaction:

[0029] 4KMnO4+3Cu+4H + →4MnO2↓+3CuO2↓+2H2O+4K +

[0030] 2KMnO4+3Cu+2H + →2MnO2↓+3CuO↓+H2O+2K+

[0031] 2KMnO4+6Cu+2H + →2MnO2↓+3Cu2O↓+H2O+2K +

[0032] After the oxidation of the copper sheet is completed, the water pump 55 will continuously extract the water in the water storage tank 54 and deliver it to the inside of the water spray pipe 56, which will spray water to the surface of the copper sheet, so as to remove the by-products generated in the oxidation process such as MnO2 powder on the surface of the copper sheet, reduce the combined layer bubbles caused by the decomposition of copper oxide to produce oxygen, and improve the thermal conductivity of the product. After a period of flushing, the ultrasonic vibrator inside the second conveyor 3 can vibrate the surface of the copper sheet, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the by-products such as MnO2 powder generated in the oxidation process. The by-products such as MnO2 will fall to the surface of the nanometer filter screen 51 along with the water. Since the by-products such as MnO2 are insoluble in water, they are intercepted at the top end of the nanometer filter screen 51, and then slide into the feed tank 52 through the feed inlet 53 along the nanometer filter screen 51. The water will fall back into the water storage tank 54 after passing through the nanometer filter screen 51, so as to not only be able to collect the by-products such as MnO2 in a centralized manner, but also to improve the efficiency of the enterprise, and to recycle the water, thereby effectively reducing the cost of production.

[0033] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. The skilled person should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that the skilled person can understand.
