Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxidation, specifically to a vertical anodizing tank and a vertical anodizing material retrieval device suitable for material retrieval. Background Technology
[0002] In the vertical anodizing process, the aluminum alloy to be oxidized is initially clamped at one end by a clamp, with the other end connected to a crossbeam (i.e., the anodizing beam). The crossbeam then uses a row of clamps to hold the aluminum alloy profiles, guiding them sequentially into various anodizing tanks. During this process, due to factors such as clamp aging, some aluminum alloy profiles may fall into the anodizing tank. The usual handling method is to periodically drain the anodizing tank solution, manually clean and bundle the sections at the bottom, and then use an overhead crane to remove them. This results in increased wasted time, significantly impacting efficiency and increasing costs. Utility Model Content

The interior 106 of the oxidation tank is used to hold the oxidation solution for the profiles to be oxidized.
[0023] Long sidewall I 101 is parallel to long sidewall II 103, and short sidewall I 102 is parallel to short sidewall II 104. Short sidewall I 102 and short sidewall II 104 are perpendicular to long sidewall I 101 and long sidewall II 103.

[0024] The rope-threading groove 200 includes: a left circular arc groove 201 on the side wall, a lowest part of the rope-threading groove 202, a bottom slope of the rope-threading groove 203, a right circular arc groove 204 on the side wall, a rope-threading groove at the bottom of the groove 205, an opening of the left circular arc groove on the side wall 206, a bottom arc of the left circular arc groove on the side wall 207, an opening of the right circular arc groove on the side wall 208, and a bottom arc of the right circular arc groove on the side wall 209.
[0025] The left circular arc groove 201 on the side wall is on the long side wall II 103, and the right circular arc groove 204 on the side wall is on the long side wall I 101, with openings respectively on the top surface of the oxidation tank.
[0026] The left circular arc groove 201 and the right circular arc groove 204 on the side wall are parallel and aligned, extending downwards perpendicular to the bottom 105 of the oxidation tank 100. Here, the bottom 105 is generally horizontal or substantially horizontal overall.
[0027] The bottom part of the trough, the rope-threading groove 205, consists of the bottom part of the rope-threading groove 202 and the bottom slope of the rope-threading groove 203.
[0028] The left circular arc groove opening 206 and the bottom arc 207 of the left circular arc groove on the side wall form the left circular arc groove 201 on the side wall. The right circular arc groove opening 208 and the bottom arc 209 of the right circular arc groove on the side wall form the left circular arc groove 204 on the side wall.
[0029] The bottom slope 203 of the rope-threading groove slopes from the edge of the bottom 105 of the oxidation tank 100 towards the middle, and the connection point is the bottom 202 of the rope-threading groove. The entire rope-threading groove 200 is symmetrical about the bottom 202 of the rope-threading groove.

[0032] In the rope-threading structure (I300, II400), the diameters of magnets I302 and II402 are larger than the openings 206 and 208 of the left and right circular arc grooves on the side walls, but smaller than the diameters of the bottom arcs 207 and 209 of the left and right circular arc grooves, and also smaller than the opening size of the rope-threading groove 205 at the bottom of the groove. The cross-sectional dimensions of soft ropes I301 and II401 are smaller than the openings 206 and 208 of the left and right circular arc grooves on the side walls, as well as the opening size of the rope-threading groove 205 at the bottom of the groove. This ensures that magnets I302 and II402 can slide down into the left and right circular arc grooves 201 and 204 on the side walls to the bottom 202 of the rope-threading groove to complete a magnetic attraction connection. Subsequently, when retrieving material upwards, magnets I302 and II402 can be smoothly pulled out from the bottom 202 of the rope-threading groove.
[0033] The rope threading structure I 300 and the rope threading structure II 400 work together to retrieve the material.

[0041] <Instructions for Use>
[0042] If there are no profiles being oxidized in the oxidation tank 100, retrieval can be carried out.
[0043] The fallen profile is on the bottom 105 of the oxidation tank 100. First, take three rope I structures 300 and place them with the magnet I 302 end downwards along the left arc groove 201 of the side wall of the three rope grooves 200. Then, take three rope II structures 400 and place them with the magnet II 402 end along the right arc groove 204 of the side wall of the three rope grooves 200. When the rope I structure 300 and rope II structure 400 reach the bottom of the oxidation tank 100, they will slide down the bottom slope 203 of the rope groove to the bottom 202 of the rope groove. At this time, the magnets I 302 and II 402 on the rope I structure 300 and rope II structure 400 will attract each other to complete the connection. Secure the three soft ropes I 301 and three soft ropes II 401 at the top to the overhead crane. At this time, the overhead crane, rope I structure 300, and rope II structure 400 form a closed loop. The fallen profile is inside this loop. Simply pull the three soft ropes I 301 and three soft ropes II 401 upwards at the same time to bring up the profile that has fallen from the bottom 105 of the oxidation tank 100.
[0044] Regular cleaning can be performed to prevent excessive accumulation of profiles at the bottom of the oxidation tank 100, and to ensure that the rope-threading structure I 300 and rope-threading structure II 400 reach the load.
[0045] Benefits: This method can achieve the purpose of material retrieval without draining the tank liquid, reducing the retrieval time from 8 hours or more to less than 20 minutes, and can even be carried out once a day. It avoids contact between the oxidized beam profile and the fallen profile, reduces scratches on normal profiles, and even "arcing" defects caused by short circuits between profiles.
[0046] The above shows that rope-threading grooves 200 are provided on the long side wall I 101 and long side wall II 103 respectively. However, it is not limited to this. Rope-threading grooves 200 can also be provided on the short side wall I 102 and short side wall II 104 that are opposite to each other, that is, they can be continuously threaded in the side walls and bottom wall 107 that are opposite to each other.
[0047] The above describes a rope-threading groove 200 in the form of an arc-shaped groove opening into the interior 106 of the oxidation tank. However, it is not limited to an arc shape and can also be other cross-sectional shapes through which magnets I 302 and II 402 can pass. The right arc-shaped groove 204 and the left arc-shaped groove 201 on the sidewall are also collectively referred to as sidewall opening grooves. Similarly, the rope-threading groove 205 at the bottom of the tank is also collectively referred to as a bottom opening groove, which is formed as an opening groove opening into the interior 106 of the oxidation tank. The rope-threading I structure 300 and the rope-threading II structure 400 are also collectively referred to as rope-threading assemblies, each correspondingly including a flexible rope and a magnet connected to each other.
[0048] Thus, according to this utility model, a vertical anodizing tank suitable for scooping materials is provided. Rope-threading grooves 200 opening toward the interior 106 of the anodizing tank are continuously threaded through the opposing sidewalls and bottom wall 107 of the anodizing tank with an upward opening. The rope-threading grooves 200 include: sidewall opening grooves that open at the top surface of the anodizing tank and extend along each sidewall to the bottom wall 107, and bottom opening grooves. The bottom opening grooves extend in a manner that slopes downward toward the center of the bottom wall 107 from the bottom of the opposing sidewall opening grooves and finally communicate with each other at the lowest part 202 of the rope-threading grooves. That is, it includes the lowest part 202 of the rope-threading grooves and the bottom slopes 203 of the rope-threading grooves located on both sides thereon.
[0049] In some embodiments, two or more rope-threading grooves 200 are provided at intervals.
[0050] In some embodiments, a pair of threading assemblies are provided, each including a soft rope and a magnet connected to one end of the soft rope. The pair of threading assemblies can slide down the bottom slope of the threading groove from opposite sidewalls after passing through the sidewall opening groove until they sink into the lowest part 202 of the threading groove and attract each other to engage. The size of the magnet is smaller than the opening size of the lowest part 202 of the threading groove toward the interior 106 of the oxidation tank, and the cross-sectional size of the soft rope is smaller than the opening size of the sidewall opening groove toward the interior 106 of the oxidation tank and the opening size of the bottom opening groove (the bottom part of the threading groove 205) toward the interior 106 of the oxidation tank.
[0051] In some embodiments, the size of the magnet is larger than the opening size of the corresponding sidewall opening groove facing the interior 106 of the oxidation tank, to prevent the magnet from coming out of the opening facing the interior 106 of the oxidation tank.
[0052] In some embodiments, the size of the magnet is smaller than the opening size of the lowest part 202 of the rope-threading groove toward the interior 106 of the oxidation tank, but larger than the opening size of the bottom slope 203 of the rope-threading groove toward the interior 106 of the oxidation tank.
[0053] In some embodiments, both the sidewall opening groove and the rope-threading groove 205 at the bottom of the groove are configured as arc grooves with a circular arc cross-section.
[0054] In some embodiments, the bottom portion of the rope-threading groove 205 is configured as an upward-opening U-shaped groove.
