Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxidation device technology, specifically to an oxidation device for processing vehicle camera lens barrels. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of automotive intelligence and autonomous driving technologies, in-vehicle cameras have become key sensing devices, and their requirements for safety and functionality are becoming increasingly stringent. As the outer shell of the camera, the lens barrel of an in-vehicle camera needs to have excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetics. Oxidation processing, as a common surface treatment method, can effectively improve these properties of the lens barrel.

[0003] Currently, anodizing is widely used in the production of automotive camera lens barrels, especially in improving the corrosion and wear resistance of the lens barrel surface. The oxide layer not only provides strong physical protection but also increases the lens barrel's UV resistance. However, traditional anodizing equipment has some shortcomings in processing efficiency and operation procedures, particularly in continuous processing and automation. Common anodizing equipment requires manual transfer and switching of lens barrels between different stations, which often results in wasted time and increased complexity of manual operation. Especially in batch processing, frequent workpiece loading and unloading and station switching can easily lead to low production efficiency and affect the stability of large-scale production.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides an embodiment of an oxidation device for processing vehicle camera lens barrels, comprising a tank 1, two columns 2 fixedly installed on the tank 1, a crossbar 3 installed between the two columns 2, and multiple shelves 4 arranged on the crossbar 3 at intervals from left to right. Each shelf 4 includes a storage frame 41 and a bracket 42. Two brackets 42 are provided and symmetrically arranged on the storage frame 41. Each bracket 42 is connected to a column 43, and a hook 44 is connected to the column 43. A spring piston 45 is provided inside the hook 44. One end of the spring piston 45 is connected to a limiting block 46, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the hook 44.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6 Through the cooperation of the upright column 2 and the crossbar 3, the shelf 4 can be hung on its surface, achieving the effect of providing a suspended hanging position. The shelf frame 41 is made of stainless steel, which is conductive and not easily oxidized by the liquid in the tank 1. It is preferred to use this utility model. By setting the shelf frame 41, the lens barrel to be oxidized can be placed inside, achieving the effect of providing an oxidation processing placement position. By setting the hook 44, the shelf frame 41 can be suspended on and inside the tank 1, achieving the effect of maintaining the position of the shelf frame 41. Through the cooperation of the spring piston 45 and the limiting block 46, the hook 44 can be locked and fixed when it is hung on the crossbar 3, achieving the effect of elastic locking to prevent the shelf frame 41 from shaking.

[0027] Specifically, tank 1 is a hollow cavity structure with an opening at the top. An anode clamp 5 and a cathode rod 6 are installed inside this cavity. The anode clamp 5 and cathode rod 6 are electrically connected to a power supply 8 via cables 7. A first solenoid valve 9 and a second solenoid valve 10 are installed on the outer wall of tank 1. One end of the first solenoid valve 9 and the second solenoid valve 10 are connected to the oxidation liquid pipe 11, and the other end is connected to tank 1. Through the cooperation of the anode clamp 5 and the cathode rod 6, the placement frame 41 can be energized after being immersed in the liquid in tank 1, achieving the effect of electro-oxidation processing. Through the cooperation of the power supply 8 and the cables 7, the anode clamp 5 and the cathode rod 6 can be energized, achieving the effect of power supply. Through the cooperation of the first solenoid valve 9, the second solenoid valve 10, and the oxidation liquid pipe 11, the tank 1 can be opened and closed when the liquid enters or exits, achieving the effect of switching.

[0028] Specifically, a plurality of drainage holes 47 are provided through the storage frame 41. The drainage holes 47 are evenly distributed on the storage frame 41, each drainage hole 47 is circular in shape, and the inner diameter of the drainage hole 47 is between 2 mm and 5 mm. The opening of the drainage holes 47 allows the liquid to quickly enter the interior of the storage frame 41 when it is immersed in the liquid in the tank 1.

[0029] Specifically, a handle 48 is connected to the side of the upright 43 away from the hook 44, and a protective glove 49 is provided on the handle 48. The protective glove 49 is made of polyurethane material. The handle 48 allows the worker to hold the shelf 4, providing a gripping and force application point. The protective glove 49 made of polyurethane material has the advantages of wear resistance and non-slip, which is preferred in this utility model. The protective glove 49 prevents the worker's palm from directly contacting the handle 48 when holding it, avoiding hand abrasions caused by prolonged gripping.

[0030] Specifically, three spring pistons 45 are provided, arranged side by side inside the hook 44. By setting the spring pistons 45, the limiting block 46 becomes elastic, achieving the effect of allowing the limiting block 46 to elastically lock the crossbar 3.

[0031] Specifically, the limiting block 46 includes a limiting plate 461, on which a protrusion 462 is fixed. The installation of the limiting block 46 allows the crossbar 3 to be locked into the hook 44 and thus prevents it from coming out of the hook 44 without manual force.

[0032] Specifically, the protrusion 462 is in the shape of an isosceles right triangle. The design of the isosceles right triangle allows the surface of the crossbar 3 to slide over the hook 44 when it is engaged, and it can only slide out when force is applied.

[0033] Working principle: The operator opens the first solenoid valve 9 to deliver the oxidation liquid to the inside of the tank 1 through the oxidation liquid pipe 11. After delivering an appropriate amount, the operator closes the first solenoid valve 9. The operator places the lens tube to be oxidized into the storage frame 41 inside the storage rack 4. After placement, the operator takes the anode clamp 5 and clamps it onto the storage frame 41. Then, the operator places the cathode rod 6 into the liquid inside the tank 1. After placement, the operator holds the handle 48 and lifts the hook 44 to remove it from the crossbar 3. Then, the storage frame 41 is submerged into the liquid inside the tank 1. Inside, after immersion, hook 44 is hung on crossbar 3, so that the storage frame 41 is suspended in the liquid. At this time, the operator turns on the switch, and the power supply 8 will power the anode clamp 5 and cathode rod 6 through the cable 7. In this way, the liquid in the tank 1 can be used to oxidize the lens barrel in the storage frame 41. After the oxidation process is completed, the operator holds the handle 48 to lift the storage frame 41 in the storage rack 4 and hang it to drain the liquid remaining on the surface. At this time, the operator places the lens barrel that is to be oxidized next in another storage rack 4 and continues the oxidation process.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
