Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of micro-arc oxidation technology, specifically relating to a micro-arc oxidation electrolysis device with automatic liquid replenishment. Background Technology

[0002] Micro-arc oxidation mainly relies on the matching and adjustment of electrolyte and electrical parameters. Under the instantaneous high temperature and high pressure generated by arc discharge, a modified ceramic coating with the main body metal oxide and supplemented by electrolyte components is grown on the surface of valve metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium and their alloys. The micro-arc oxidation film layer is firmly bonded to the substrate, has a dense structure, high toughness, and has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature impact resistance and electrical insulation properties.

[0003] During the micro-arc oxidation process, the electrolyte temperature rises. Excessive electrolyte temperature affects the quality of the micro-arc oxidation film, so the electrolyte temperature needs to be controlled in a timely manner. As the micro-arc oxidation process continues, the electrolyte concentration gradually decreases, requiring workers to frequently replenish the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, making the operation process quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a micro-arc oxidation electrolysis device with automatic electrolyte replenishment. This device solves the problems in the existing technology where the electrolyte temperature rises during the micro-arc oxidation process, which affects the quality of the micro-arc oxidation film and requires timely temperature control. Furthermore, as the micro-arc oxidation process progresses, the electrolyte concentration gradually decreases, requiring frequent replenishment of electrolyte by workers, resulting in a cumbersome operation process.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A micro-arc oxidation electrolysis device with automatic liquid replenishment includes:

[0007] An electrolytic vessel, with a liquid-holding tank located on top of the electrolytic vessel;

[0008] A temperature control mechanism is provided both inside and outside the electrolytic tank, and the temperature control mechanism is used to reduce the temperature of the electrolyte inside the electrolytic tank.

[0009] An automatic electrolyte replenishment mechanism is installed at the top of the electrolysis tank and is used to automatically replenish electrolyte into the electrolysis tank.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a control panel is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the electrolytic tank, multiple support columns are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the electrolytic tank, and a feed inlet and a discharge outlet are respectively provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the electrolytic tank. A discharge pipe is connected to the bottom surface of the electrolytic tank through the discharge outlet, and a valve is installed on the discharge pipe.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature control mechanism includes a stirring motor, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a rotating shaft, stirring blades, a temperature sensor, and cooling elements. The stirring motor is fixedly installed on the top surface of the electrolytic tank. The first bevel gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the stirring motor. The second bevel gear meshes with the outer side of the first bevel gear. The rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the second bevel gear. Multiple stirring blades are fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft. The temperature sensor is fixedly installed on the top surface inside the electrolytic tank, and multiple cooling elements are fixedly installed on the outer side of the electrolytic tank.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the second bevel gear is rotatably connected to the top surface of the electrolysis tank, the rotating shaft passes through the electrolysis tank to the inside of the electrolysis tank and is rotatably connected to the electrolysis tank through a sealed bearing, and the control panel is electrically connected to the stirring motor, temperature sensor and cooling chip respectively through wires.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the automatic liquid replenishment mechanism includes a third bevel gear, a rotating rod, a fixed plate, a ball, a liquid inlet groove, a first liquid inlet pipe, a spherical tube, and a second liquid inlet pipe. The third bevel gear meshes with the outer side of the second bevel gear. A rotating rod is fixedly mounted on the side of the third bevel gear. A fixed plate is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the electrolytic tank. A ball is fixedly mounted at the end of the rotating rod away from the third bevel gear. A liquid inlet groove is provided through the outer side of the ball. The top surface of the electrolytic tank is connected to the first liquid inlet pipe through a feed port. A spherical tube is connected to the top of the first liquid inlet pipe. The top of the spherical tube is connected to the second liquid inlet pipe.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the side of the third bevel gear is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, the rotating rod passes through the fixed plate and is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, the inside of the spherical tube is provided with a spherical groove adapted to the sphere, the sphere is rotatably connected to the spherical tube through the spherical groove, and the top of the second liquid inlet pipe is connected to the liquid holding tank.

[0015] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention features a temperature control mechanism that controls the stirring motor to rotate the first bevel gear, which in turn drives the second bevel gear, thereby rotating the shaft and stirring blades. This accelerates heat exchange in the electrolyte inside the electrolytic tank, preventing excessive local temperature differences. When the temperature sensor detects that the electrolyte temperature inside the electrolytic tank is too high, it sends an electrical signal to the control panel. The control panel then controls the cooling element to absorb heat from the outside of the electrolytic tank and dissipate heat through the side of the cooling element away from the tank. This accelerates heat exchange between the electrolyte inside the tank and the external environment, achieving a cooling effect.

[0017] This invention features an automatic electrolyte replenishment mechanism. Electrolyte is injected into the tank to be replenished. When the stirring blade rotates to agitate the electrolyte inside the electrolysis tank, the second bevel gear rotates, simultaneously driving the third bevel gear to rotate slowly. The rotation of the third bevel gear drives the rotating rod and the ball to rotate. When the inlet groove of the ball begins to connect with the first and second inlet pipes, the electrolyte inside the tank enters the electrolysis tank through the second inlet pipe, the inlet groove, the first inlet pipe, and the feed inlet. When the electrolyte replenishment is complete, the inlet groove is completely covered by the inner wall of the spherical tube. The continuous rotation of the ball enables periodic and quantitative automatic replenishment of electrolyte into the electrolysis tank. Attached Figure Description
