[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an auxiliary device for pickling end caps, used to immerse end caps 10 in an immersion tank for pickling. The auxiliary device for pickling end caps includes a rotating component 1, an immersion frame 2, a support base 3, a pressing component 4, and an isolation component 5. The rotating component 1 is hinged to the immersion tank, the immersion frame 2 is slidably connected to the rotating component 1, the support base 3 is disposed at the bottom of the immersion frame 2, the pressing component 4 is movably disposed on the immersion frame 2, and the isolation component 5 is placed between two adjacent end caps 10.

[0021] The rotating component 1 includes a hinge part 11 and a sliding part 12. The hinge part 11 and the sliding part 12 are connected to each other. The hinge part 11 is hinged to the soaking tank. The sliding part 12 is sleeved on the soaking frame 2, so that the soaking frame 2 can slide relative to the sliding part 12.

[0022] The soaking frame 2 is a frame-like structure with an opening at the top. The frame-like structure is composed of multiple horizontal bars and multiple vertical bars. The soaking frame 2 has a cavity (not shown in the figure), and the end cap 10 and the support base 3 are both placed in the cavity. The support base 3 is located on the bottom wall of the cavity, and the end cap 10 is placed on the support base 3.

[0023] The support base 3 includes a flat plate portion 31 and a support portion 32 disposed on the flat plate portion 31. The flat plate portion 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the cavity, and the support portion 32 is used to support the end cap 10. Further, the support portion 32 is composed of multiple columnar structures, and the height dimensions of the multiple columnar structures are inconsistent. Specifically, the height dimension of the middle columnar structure is the lowest, and the height dimensions of the other columnar structures increase sequentially from the middle outwards, thereby forming a bowl-shaped structure.

[0024] The clamping assembly 4 includes a fixing plate 41, a screw 42, a clamping member 43, and a locking member 44. The fixing plate 41 is connected to the soaking frame 2. The screw 42 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 41. The clamping member 43 has an X-shaped structure and is sleeved on the outside of the screw 42. The clamping member 43 is used to press the upper end of the end cap 10, thereby clamping the upper end of the end cap 10. The locking member 44 is threadedly connected to the screw 42 and is used to lock the clamping member 43, thereby fixing the end cap 10 in the cavity.

[0025] The isolating member 5 includes an isolating part 51, a transition part 52, and a connecting part 53. The isolating part 51, the transition part 52, and the connecting part 53 are interconnected. The isolating part 51 has a roughly triangular cross-section and includes a first contact surface 511 and a second contact surface 512, which are disposed opposite to each other. In two adjacent end caps 10, the first contact surface 511 is in contact with the outer surface of the upper end cap 10, and the second contact surface 512 is in contact with the inner surface of the lower end cap 10. Furthermore, the connection between the first contact surface 511 and the bottom surface of the isolating part 51 is an arc surface, thereby preventing the isolating member 5 from damaging the outer surface of the upper end cap 10. The connection between the second contact surface 512 and the bottom surface of the isolating part 51 is also an arc surface, thereby preventing the isolating member 5 from damaging the inner surface of the lower end cap 10.

[0026] Furthermore, the cross-section of the transition portion 52 is approximately semi-circular. Specifically, the upper surface of the transition portion 52 is curved, which prevents damage to the surface of the end cap 10 and ensures that the operator will not injure their hands when handling the spacer 5. The bottom surface of the transition portion 52 is flat and fits against the upper surface of the end cap 10, thereby allowing the spacer 5 to be attached to the end cap 10.

[0027] The mounting portion 53 is generally arc-shaped plate-like, and there is a certain gap between the mounting portion 53 and the end cap 10, so that the spacer 5 can be mounted on the end cap 10 more quickly. In this embodiment, the spacer 5 is made of stainless steel.

[0028] When the end cap 10 needs to be pickled, first place one of the end caps 10 on the support base 3, then place multiple spacers 5 on the end cap 10, and then place another end cap 10 on the multiple spacers 5, and so on, until all the end caps 10 are placed in the soaking frame 2. Then, the clamping member 43 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 42 and presses down on the upper end of the end cap 10, so that the upper end of the end cap 10 can be pressed. The locking member 44 is threadedly connected to the screw 42, and the locking member 44 locks the clamping member 43, so that the end cap 10 can be fixed in the cavity. Finally, the soaking frame 2 is placed in the soaking tank using a hoisting device.

[0029] After the end cap 10 has been pickled, the immersion frame 2 is lifted out of the immersion tank using a hoisting device and rotated to a tilted position so that all the pickling liquid in the end cap 10 is poured out. Then, the locking part 44 is unscrewed so that the clamping part 43 can be separated from the end cap 10, and the end cap 10 can be taken out of the immersion frame 2.

[0030] The auxiliary device for pickling end caps provided by this utility model pickles multiple end caps 10 into an immersion frame 2 for pickling, and places multiple isolation components 5 between the end caps 10, so that the inner and outer surfaces of each end cap 10 are fully penetrated, resulting in a better immersion effect and ensuring no dead corners in the cleaning. At the same time, a clamping component 43 is set to clamp and fix the upper end of the end cap 10, and a rotating component 1 is rotatably set on the immersion tank. After the end caps 10 are pickled, a hoisting device is used to lift the immersion frame 2 out of the immersion tank, and the immersion frame 2 is rotated to a tilted state so that all the pickling liquid in the end caps 10 is poured out. Then the clamping component 4 is separated from the end caps 10, so that the end caps 10 can be taken out of the immersion frame 2. The operation is relatively simple.

[0031] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
