Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding wire production, and in particular to a welding wire electrolysis device with a detector. Background Technology
[0002] Copper plating on the surface of welding wire has two significant benefits: it effectively prevents rusting and significantly enhances its conductivity during use. However, the copper plating process is quite complex in welding wire production. After the wire is laid out, it must pass through multiple tanks in sequence, including a degreasing tank, an electrolytic alkaline washing tank, a post-alkali neutralization washing tank, an electrolytic acid washing tank, an activation neutralization washing tank, a copper plating tank, a water rinsing tank, and a hot water washing tank. During this process, the welding wire fully interacts with the liquids in each tank. After drying, it undergoes fine polishing using a polishing mold before finally being wound up.
[0003] Copper plating production lines have numerous tanks containing a wide variety of liquids. Currently, the concentration of these liquids is inspected manually by quality inspectors who periodically take samples and perform tests. However, this manual sampling and testing method has significant drawbacks: the sampling rate is relatively low, making it difficult to fully reflect the actual condition of the liquids in the tanks; furthermore, chemical testing methods are time-consuming, resulting in low overall inspection efficiency.

The inlet end is connected to the electrolytic cleaning tank, and the outlet end pumps the electrolyte into the welding wire conveying tank.
[0009] Preferably, one of the chambers is designated as a detection tank, and a detector is provided corresponding to the detection tank. The detector includes a body and a detection end.

[0020] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0021] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a welding wire electrolysis device with a detector is disclosed. The main body of the device includes a shell 1 constructed of corrosion-resistant material. The shell 1 is configured with a stepped structure and forms an L-shape in the side view. It includes an electrolytic cleaning tank 2 located at the bottom and a welding wire conveying tank 3 located at the top for conveying welding wire.
[0025] The electrolytic cleaning tank 2 is divided into multiple independent chambers by partitions. The multiple chambers include a cleaning tank, a neutralization tank and a detection tank. Each chamber contains electrolyte, and each chamber has a flow guiding structure at the bottom to achieve zoned storage and directional flow of electrolyte.
[0026] A pump 5 is installed on the outer side of the shell 1, located outside the electrolytic cleaning tank 2. The pump 5 is mounted on a pump 5 mounting base fixed horizontally on the outer wall of the electrolytic cleaning tank 2, and the inlet and outlet ends of the pump 5 pass through the electrolytic cleaning tank 2 and the welding wire conveying tank 3 respectively via connecting pipes. When the pump 5 is working, it can draw electrolyte from the electrolytic cleaning tank 2 from the inlet end and pump the drawn electrolyte into the welding wire conveying tank 3 through the outlet end, thereby spraying it onto the surface of the welding wire in the welding wire conveying tank 3, thus cleaning the welding wire. In this application, the pump 5 is configured with multiple chambers, and the pipes connected to the outlet end of the pump 5 are also interconnected.
[0027] In addition, a detector 4 is installed in the detection tank adjacent to the electrolytic cleaning tank 2. The detector 4 is used to detect and monitor the acidity and alkalinity of the electrolyte in the detection tank. When the detected value exceeds the preset threshold, the system automatically triggers the neutralization chamber replenishment mechanism and alarm prompt, thereby preventing the acidity and alkalinity of the electrolyte sprayed onto the welding wire from exceeding the preset requirements and causing damage to the welding wire. The detector 4 includes a body 41 configured as a data processing unit and a detection end 42 connected to the body 41. The detection end 42 is constructed as a probe, one end of which is equipped with a waterproof sensor, and the other end of the probe is electrically connected to the body 41 through a connecting wire.
[0028] The housing 1 includes a horizontally oriented platform 11, with observation slots 12 corresponding to each chamber. Each observation slot 12 is equipped with a removable cover for easy operation and maintenance within the chamber. Furthermore, the platform 11 has a pre-drilled through-hole at the top of the detection slot. The detection end 42 of the detector 4 passes through the through-hole vertically, allowing its non-connected end to the body 41 to be immersed in the electrolyte, thereby transmitting the detected acidity or alkalinity of the electrolyte to the body 41 for display.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the welding wire feed trough 3 has welding wire ports 31 fixed at both ends. Each welding wire port 31 has a hole along its axis for the welding wire to pass through, and its inner wall is coated with a coating to reduce the coefficient of friction. Driven by an externally installed welding wire traction device, the welding wire passes through one of the welding wire ports 31 into the welding wire feed trough 3 and exits from the other welding wire port 31, where it is cleaned by an electrolyte spray. Furthermore, the top of the welding wire feed trough 3 is constructed as a top cover 32, which is connected to the side wall of the welding wire feed trough 3 via a hinge structure. Opening the top cover 32 facilitates operation and maintenance of the welding wire feed trough 3 by the operator.
[0030] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model.
