Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial workpiece cleaning technology, specifically to a cleaning tank for workpieces used in anodizing production lines. Background Technology

[0002] Anodizing is a surface treatment process for metal materials, primarily used to improve their corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetics. Anodizing is essentially the electrolysis of water; the electrolyte undergoes hydrolysis under the influence of an electric current. During anodizing, the metal or alloy workpiece acts as the anode, and an oxide film is formed on its surface through electrolysis. This oxide film alters the state and properties of the metal surface, such as improving corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and also allowing for surface coloring to increase the metal's appearance.

[0003] When processing workpieces, they are often shaped into suitable forms by cutting. However, small debris remains on the surface of the workpiece after cutting. Therefore, when the workpiece is electroplated, it needs to be cleaned. In existing anodizing production lines, the workpieces are often placed in a cleaning tank by workers for manual cleaning. Moreover, only one workpiece can be cleaned at a time, resulting in low cleaning efficiency in the cleaning tank.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a cleaning tank for workpieces in anodizing production lines to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning tank for workpieces in an anodizing production line. Through the cooperation of the internal parts of the clamping mechanism, multiple workpieces can be clamped and fixed in the cleaning tank. Through the cooperation of the internal parts of the slag discharge mechanism, the cleaning operation of the workpiece surface is completed, and the waste residue in the wastewater generated during cleaning is filtered and collected. This solves the problem that in the prior art, when cleaning workpieces in anodizing production lines, workers often need to place the workpieces in the cleaning tank for manual cleaning, and each cleaning can only clean a single workpiece, resulting in low cleaning efficiency in the cleaning tank.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cleaning tank for workpieces in an anodizing production line, comprising a cleaning tank located in the anodizing production line, a cover plate matched at the top of the cleaning tank, a clamping mechanism welded and fixed at the bottom of the cover plate and extending into the interior of the cleaning tank, and a slag discharge mechanism slidably connected at the bottom of the cleaning tank and extending into the interior of the cleaning tank and located below the clamping mechanism;

[0007] The clamping mechanism includes a clamping plate, and there are multiple clamping plates. The multiple clamping plates are fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank and fit against the side wall of the workpiece. The clamping plate has multiple elastic protrusions integrally formed near the outer wall of the workpiece and fits against the outer wall of the workpiece. Limiting plates are elastically connected to both sides of the outer wall of the elastic protrusions. A movable plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the clamping plate away from the elastic protrusions and extends into the interior of the clamping plate and fits against the outer wall of the limiting plate.

[0008] The slag discharge mechanism includes a recycling box, which is slidably connected to one side of the bottom of the cleaning tank and extends into the interior of the cleaning tank. A filter plate is bolted to the bottom of the recycling box and is located below the workpiece. Multiple diversion plates are obliquely fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank and are located at the bottom of the clamping plate and above the recycling box.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping mechanism further includes a connecting plate, which is welded and fixed to both ends of the bottom of the cover plate and extends into the interior of the cover plate. The bottom end of the connecting plate is integrally formed with multiple serrated blocks and extends through the cleaning tank into the interior of the recycling box. The inner wall of the cleaning tank is fixedly connected with multiple support rods and located below the clamping plate.

[0010] Preferably, the slag discharge mechanism further includes a water inlet pipe, which is located around the outer wall of the top of the cleaning tank and extends into the interior of the cleaning tank. A cleaning pipe is connected between the water inlet pipes and is located above the clamping plates. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank and is located at the bottom of the filter plate. A sewage pipe is installed on the side of the cleaning tank away from the recycling box and is connected to the water outlet.

[0011] Preferably, a clamping groove matching the workpiece is provided between the plurality of clamping plates, a docking groove matching the connecting plate is provided at the top of the cleaning tank, and a fixing groove matching the sawtooth block is provided on the top surface of the recycling box.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the limiting plate is provided with an elastic metal sheet, the inner wall of the clamping plate is provided with a sliding groove that matches the movable plate, and the outer wall material of the limiting plate and the elastic protrusion is elastic rubber.

[0013] Preferably, high-pressure cleaning nozzles are installed on both sides of the bottom end of the cleaning pipe and are located above the workpiece. Sufficient gaps are left between the multiple diversion plates, and inclined arc surfaces are provided around the water outlet.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0015] By placing the workpiece between the clamping plates, which are pre-fixed by elastic protrusions and limiting plates, and simultaneously supporting the workpiece within the cleaning tank, multiple workpieces can be clamped and placed within the cleaning tank. The cover plate is then attached to the top of the cleaning tank, and the cover plate slides into the cleaning tank via a connecting plate. The connecting plate slides into the cleaning tank and contacts the clamping plate and movable plate, squeezing them together. This causes the clamping plates to move slightly within the cleaning tank, further securing the workpieces between them. Simultaneously, the movable plate moves and contacts the limiting plate, allowing the limiting plate to release its restriction on the workpiece's sidewall through elastic metal deformation. This exposes the workpiece's sidewall to the air for easier cleaning. This process allows multiple workpieces to be clamped and fixed within the cleaning tank, enabling simultaneous cleaning of multiple workpiece surfaces.

[0016] By fitting the cover plate into the cleaning tank and connecting plate penetrating into the tank, the sawtooth block is driven through the recycling box to fix its position within the tank, preventing it from shifting under the impact of water flow. Water flows into the cleaning pipe through the inlet pipe and is then cleaned through the high-pressure cleaning nozzle at the bottom of the pipe. The water flow washes away debris from the workpiece surface, and the wastewater carries the debris through the inclined guide plate into the top of the recycling box. The filter plate at the bottom of the recycling box separates the debris from the wastewater, and the wastewater flows into the drain pipe through the outlet hole. This completes the cleaning operation of the workpiece surface and facilitates the separation of debris and wastewater. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The slag discharge mechanism 3 includes a recycling box 303, which is slidably connected to one side of the bottom end of the cleaning tank 1 and extends into the interior of the cleaning tank 1. A filter plate 304 is bolted to the bottom end of the recycling box 303 and is located below the workpiece. Multiple diversion plates 305 are obliquely fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 and are located at the bottom end of the clamping plate 204 and above the recycling box 303.

[0028] By cooperating with each other among the internal parts of the clamping mechanism 2, multiple workpieces can be clamped and fixed in the cleaning tank 1. By cooperating with each other among the internal parts of the slag discharge mechanism 3, the cleaning operation on the surface of the workpieces is completed, and the waste residue in the wastewater generated during cleaning is collected and filtered.

[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-4The clamping mechanism 2 also includes a connecting plate 201, which is welded and fixed to both ends of the bottom of the cover plate 101 and extends into the interior of the cover plate 101. The bottom end of the connecting plate 201 is integrally formed with multiple serrated blocks 202, which extend through the cleaning tank 1 to the interior of the recycling box 303. Multiple support rods 203 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 and are located below the clamping plate 204. Through the mutual cooperation between the internal parts of the clamping mechanism 2, multiple workpieces can be clamped and fixed in the cleaning tank 1.

[0030] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-4 The slag discharge mechanism 3 also includes a water inlet pipe 301, which is located around the outer wall of the top of the cleaning tank 1 and extends into the interior of the cleaning tank 1. The water inlet pipe 301 is connected to the cleaning pipe 302 and is located above the clamping plates 204. The bottom of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a water outlet 306, which is located at the bottom of the filter plate 304. A sewage pipe 307 is installed on the side of the cleaning tank 1 away from the recycling box 303 and is connected to the water outlet 306. Through the cooperation between the internal parts of the slag discharge mechanism 3, the cleaning operation of the workpiece surface is completed, and the waste residue in the wastewater generated during cleaning is collected and filtered.

[0031] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-4 Multiple clamping plates 204 are provided with clamping grooves that match the workpiece. The top of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a docking groove that matches the connecting plate 201. The top surface of the recycling box 303 is provided with a fixing groove that matches the sawtooth block 202. By providing clamping grooves that match the workpiece between multiple clamping plates 204, it is convenient to place the workpiece on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 and clamp and pre-fix the workpiece by the clamping plates 204.

[0032] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-4 The inner wall of the limiting plate 206 is provided with an elastic metal sheet, and the inner wall of the clamping plate 204 is provided with a sliding groove that matches the movable plate 207.

[0034] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:

[0035] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-4 By placing the workpiece between the clamping plates 204, the clamping plates 204 are pre-fixed between the clamping plates 204 by the elastic protrusions 205 and the limiting plate 206. At the same time, the support rod 203 on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 supports the workpiece in the position inside the cleaning tank 1. Multiple workpieces can be clamped and placed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. By abutting the cover plate 101 with the top of the cleaning tank 1, the cover plate 101 slides into the cleaning tank 1 through the connecting plate 201. The connecting plate 201 slides into the cleaning tank 1 and connects with the clamping plates 206. 04 contacts the movable plate 207 and squeezes the clamping plate 204 and the movable plate 207, causing the clamping plate 204 to move slightly in the cleaning tank 1, making the workpiece between the clamping plates 204 more secure. At the same time, the movable plate 207 moves and contacts the limiting plate 206, causing the limiting plate 206 to release the limitation on the side wall of the workpiece through the deformation of the elastic metal sheet, so that the side wall of the workpiece can be exposed to the air, which is convenient for cleaning. This completes the clamping and fixing of multiple workpieces in the cleaning tank 1, so that the cleaning tank 1 can clean the surface of multiple workpieces at the same time.

[0036] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-4 The cover plate 101 is attached to the cleaning tank 1, and the connecting plate 201 penetrates into the cleaning tank 1, driving the sawtooth block 202 to penetrate into the recycling box 303. This fixes the recycling box 303 in the cleaning tank 1, preventing it from shifting under the impact of water flow. Water flows into the cleaning pipe 302 through the water inlet pipe 301, and the workpiece surface is cleaned through the high-pressure cleaning nozzle at the bottom of the cleaning pipe 302. The water flow washes away the debris on the workpiece surface, and the wastewater carries the debris through the inclined guide plate 305 into the top of the recycling box 303. The filter plate 304 at the bottom of the recycling box 303 separates the debris from the wastewater, and the wastewater flows into the drain pipe 307 through the water outlet 306. This completes the cleaning operation of the workpiece surface and facilitates the separation of debris and wastewater.

[0037] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
