[0002] During the production of hot-dip galvanized square and rectangular tubes, a passivation solution is needed to passivate the zinc layer on the surface of the hot-dip galvanized tubes after production. This prevents the pure zinc layer on the surface of the steel tube from reacting directly with oxygen in the air, causing oxidation and corrosion, and slowing down its corrosion resistance.

[0003] The passivation process is then required. Currently, most companies manually add the passivation solution, and the pH value of the passivation solution is also a process control point. It is usually tested manually using filter paper. Manual addition is done many times a day, which is labor-intensive and unsafe as it involves direct contact with the passivation solution. It is impossible to automatically add the passivation solution or automatically measure the pH value of the passivation solution. Therefore, this utility model proposes an automatic passivation solution addition device. Utility Model Content

Utilizing a pH sensor, level detection tube, high-level sensor, low-level sensor, magnetic pump, and control cabinet, it works by establishing a communicating vessel between the connecting pipe and the level detection tube and the passivation solution circulation tank. The high-level and low-level sensors monitor the highest and lowest levels inside the level detection tube in real time. When the lowest level is reached, the magnetic pump automatically draws passivation solution and adds it to the circulation tank; when the highest level is reached, the magnetic pump stops.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution for an automatic passivation liquid addition device: the automatic passivation liquid addition device includes a passivation liquid circulation tank 1, a support leg 2 at the bottom of the passivation liquid circulation tank 1, a filter baffle 3 inside the passivation liquid circulation tank 1, an outlet 4 on the outside of the passivation liquid circulation tank 1, a pH value detection sensor 5 and a connecting pipe 6 on the outside of the passivation liquid circulation tank 1, a liquid level detection pipe 7 at the upper end of the connecting pipe 6, a traction plate 8 between the liquid level detection pipe 7 and the passivation liquid circulation tank 1, and a high liquid level sensor 9 and a low liquid level sensor 10 on the outside of the liquid level detection pipe 7;

[0020] The passivation liquid circulation tank 1 is equipped with a magnetic pump 11 and a control cabinet 13 on its outer side. The output end of the magnetic pump 11 is connected to a drain pipe 12. The control cabinet 13 is equipped with a display screen 14 and a warning light 15 on its outer side.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the passivation liquid circulation tank 1 and the support legs 2 are fixedly connected. There are four sets of support legs 2 arranged in an array. The upper end of the filter baffle 3 is provided with several sets of through holes. The filter baffle 3 is a disc structure, which is conducive to supporting the passivation liquid circulation tank 1 and filtering impurities from the passivation liquid.

[0022] like Figure 1-3As shown, the outlet 4 is connected to the passivation liquid circulation tank 1. A valve is installed at the upper end of the outlet 4. An installation hole adapted to the pH value detection sensor 5 is opened on the outside of the passivation liquid circulation tank 1. The pH value detection sensor 5 is sealed and waterproofed to the installation hole. The connecting pipe 6 is connected to the liquid level detection pipe 7. A valve is installed at the end of the liquid level detection pipe 7. The traction plate 8 is welded to the passivation liquid circulation tank 1. The traction plate 8 is snapped to the liquid level detection pipe 7. The liquid level detection pipe 7 is a hollow cylindrical structure and is made of transparent material. The high liquid level sensor 9 and the low liquid level sensor 10 are both fixedly installed on the outside of the liquid level detection pipe 7. The output end of the magnetic pump 11 is connected to the drain pipe 12. The end of the drain pipe 12 is inserted into the inside of the passivation liquid circulation tank 1, which is conducive to the detection of the high and low liquid levels of the passivation liquid and allows for automatic addition of passivation liquid.

The high liquid level sensor 9 and the low liquid level sensor 10 monitor the highest and lowest liquid levels inside the liquid level detection pipe 7 in real time. When the lowest point is reached, the feedback is sent to the PLC controller, which then controls the magnetic pump 11 to automatically draw the passivation liquid and add it to the passivation liquid circulation tank 1 through the drain pipe 12. When the highest point is reached, the feedback is sent to the PLC controller, which controls the magnetic pump 11 to stop running, thereby stopping the addition of passivation liquid. During the addition of passivation liquid, the pH value is monitored in real time by the pH value detection sensor 5 and fed back to the PLC controller. The pH value is displayed on the display screen 14, and employees can record the value at regular intervals. This is convenient, fast, and accurate, eliminating the need for manual addition of passivation liquid.
