Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] For ease of subsequent description, this application will first combine [the following text is missing from the original] before describing the specific structure of the experimental apparatus. Figure 1 Define a first direction (Z) and a second direction (X). The first direction is the height direction of the test device when it is normally placed, such as the Z direction; the second direction is the width direction of the test device when it is normally placed, such as the X direction.

[0031] It is understood that the mutual perpendicularity in this application is not absolute perpendicularity. Approximate perpendicularity due to processing errors and assembly errors (e.g., the included angle between two structural features is 89.9°) is also within the scope of mutual perpendicularity in this application.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown, Figure 1 A front view of an embodiment of the testing apparatus provided in this application is shown; Figure 2 A top view of an embodiment of an experimental apparatus provided in this application is shown.

[0033] In some embodiments, the test apparatus includes: a tank 10, a first electrode 20, a second electrode 30, and a fixture 40.

[0034] The tank 10 is used to contain the tank liquid 11; the first electrode 20 is located in the tank 10 and can be at least partially immersed in the tank liquid 11, wherein the first electrode 20 comprises a plurality of copper balls 22; the second electrode 30 is a plate structure and is located outside the tank 10, wherein the distance between the highest point of the copper ball 22 of the first electrode 20 and the liquid surface of the tank liquid 11 is equal to the distance between the midpoint of the second electrode 30 and the liquid surface of the tank liquid 11, and the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 are opposite in polarity.

[0035] The fixing member 40 is used to fix the sample 60, so that the surface to be tested of the sample 60 can be immersed in the tank liquid 11, wherein the second electrode 30 can be electrically connected with the sample 60.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, the tank 10, the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 are combined to form an electrolytic cell and serve as a test simulation scene of the sample 60. When the fixing member 40 fixes the sample 60 so that the surface to be tested of the sample 60 is located in the tank liquid 11 contained in the tank 10, the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 are connected, and then an electrolysis reaction occurs in the tank 10 to test the corrosion behavior of the sample 60.

[0037] Compared with the current method of adjusting the addition of microporous powder according to the test results, the above-mentioned electrolysis reaction can effectively avoid the phenomenon of blocking the micropores of the sample 60 by the microporous powder, and facilitate the subsequent accurate measurement of the number of micropores of the sample 60. Moreover, since the sample 60 is corroded by electrolysis reaction, the electrolytic solution after reaction can be reused, which effectively improves the utilization rate of resources and reduces the emission of heavy metals.

[0038] For example, when the number of micropores of the sample 60 is measured, the micropore diameter is generally measured by image processing technology to calculate parameters such as pore size and pore depth. In surface treatment processes such as electroplating or anodic oxidation, it is required that the distance between the anode and cathode and the tank liquid 11 (i.e. the tank liquid 11) remains consistent to ensure the uniformity of the electric field distribution during the entire processing process. Therefore, the first electrode 20 is arranged in the tank 10, and the second electrode 30 is located outside the tank 10, so that the height of the second electrode 30 can be adjusted according to the height of the tank liquid 11, and thus the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 always remain consistent with the liquid level of the tank liquid 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, the second electrode 30 extends along a first direction and is provided with a plurality of positioning points 31 spaced along the extension direction thereof, wherein the fixing member 40 can be fixed to the positioning points 31. By using the above technical solution, the test distance of the sample is marked by arranging a plurality of positioning points 31 on the second electrode 30.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the fixing member 40 is combined with the tank 10, the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 to fix the sample 60, so that the surface to be tested of the sample 60 is immersed in the tank liquid 11 contained in the tank 10. Figure 1As shown, the tank 10 can also be provided with liquid level scales and the like to cooperate with the positioning points 31, so that the fixed position of the fixing member 40 at the positioning points 31 can be adjusted according to the height of the tank liquid 11, to ensure that the distance between the second electrode 30 and the first electrode 20 is consistent with the height of the liquid surface of the tank liquid 11.

[0041] For example, the distance between two adjacent positioning points 31 is 8-10 cm. The distance of 8-10 cm is the optimal test distance of the sample 60, and it is more convenient to perform the test by taking the distance between the positioning points 31.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second electrode 30 is a copper plate, and the second electrode 30 is protruded along the outer edge of the tank 10 in the first direction. For example, the second electrode 30 is provided as a copper plate, which can be placed on the top of the tank 10 in the length or width direction of the tank 10 and effectively cooperates with the fixing member 40 to fix the sample 60, wherein the length of the second electrode 30 can be adjusted according to the size of the tank 10. For example, when the volume of the tank 10 is increased to 10 L, the width and length are increased accordingly, and the length of the second electrode 30 is adjusted.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first electrode 20 includes a plurality of copper frames 21 and a plurality of copper balls 22, and the copper frame 21 has a receiving cavity, and the plurality of copper balls 22 are located in the copper frame 21.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, the copper frame 21 and the plurality of copper balls 22 constitute a copper ball 22 package as the first electrode 20, which can effectively supplement copper ions for the tank liquid 11, so that the test result is more accurate. For example, the copper frame 21 is formed by a plurality of copper strips. The number of the copper balls 22 is not limited in the present application, for example, four or six copper balls can be used as anodes in the electrolytic reaction.

[0045] In some embodiments, the fixing member 40 is a fixing clamp, which is used to clamp the sample 60 and make the test surface of the sample 60 vertically immersed in the tank liquid 11. Further, the fixing clamp is located at the second electrode 30 and protruded along the outer edge of the second electrode 30 in the second direction, so that the sample 60 can be suspended in the tank 10.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, the sample 60 is clamped by the clamp, and the contact end of the fixing clamp with the sample 60 is protruded along the outer edge of the second electrode 30, so that the sample 60 can be suspended in the tank 10.

[0047] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the internal circuit of the anode-cathode converter of the test device provided by the present application.

[0048] In some embodiments, a cathode-anode converter is further included, which is electrically connected with the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 respectively and used for converting the electrical polarity of the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30.

[0049] In the embodiments, the cathode-anode converter is used to directly switch the electrical polarity of the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30, which reduces the complexity of manually switching the connecting line and the influence of the disconnection during the manual switching on the test accuracy, and further improves the test efficiency.

[0050] In the embodiments, the cathode-anode converter includes a cathode-anode conversion switch and a cathode-anode connecting line 52, the cathode-anode connecting line 52 includes an internal line 53 and an external line 54, the internal line 53 includes a cathode line and an anode line, the external line 54 is connected with the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 respectively, and the cathode-anode conversion switch 51 is used to connect the cathode line or the anode line of the internal line 53 with the external line 54.

[0051] For example, the cathode-anode connecting line 52 is connected with the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 respectively, as shown in the figure, the first electrode 20 is connected with the B terminal, the second electrode 30 is connected with the A terminal, and the internal connecting line is adjusted by the switch, at this time, the internal path is converted, and the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 are adjusted in the corresponding electrode polarity. Figure 3 That is, the internal connecting line of the cathode-anode connecting line 52 is adjusted by the external cathode-anode conversion switch, so as to adjust the electrode polarity of the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30, so that the first electrode 20 is the anode or the cathode, and the second electrode 30 is the cathode or the anode.

[0052] In the embodiments, the cathode-anode converter is used to directly switch the electrical polarity of the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30, which reduces the complexity of manually switching the connecting line and the influence of the disconnection during the manual switching on the test accuracy, and further improves the test efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, the test device further includes a rectifier, and the first electrode 20 is connected with the rectifier. By using the above technical solution, the first electrode 20 is always in the anode state, and the connection with the rectifier can convert the alternating current (AC) electric energy into the direct current (DC) electric energy.
