Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of zinc immersion liquid processing technology, and in particular relates to a transfer tank used in zinc immersion liquid processing. Background Technology
[0002] Immersion zinc plating is a zinc plating agent that produces a dense, uniform zinc layer containing copper, iron, and nickel on the aluminum surface. It exhibits excellent adhesion to the substrate and good corrosion resistance, providing strong bonding for subsequent processes such as direct copper plating, nickel plating, tin plating, and chemical nickel plating. It is particularly suitable for electroplating aluminum alloy workpieces. Immersion zinc plating requires process transfer during production, typically via pipelines or transfer tanks.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number 202122773379.8 discloses an insulated transfer tank for zinc immersion liquid processing, comprising an outer layer, an inner layer, and a support structure. The outer layer includes an outer insulated shell, an upper liquid inlet connected to the outer insulated shell, and an insulation layer fixed to the inner wall of the outer insulated shell. The inner layer includes an inner tank body built into the outer insulated shell, an insulated chamber for storing liquid, a filter plate mounted on the top of the insulated chamber, a constant-temperature heating element disposed at the bottom of the insulated chamber, and an elastic plate for isolating the constant-temperature heating element from the insulated chamber. This utility model patent, by covering the inner tank body with an outer insulated shell and providing an insulation layer between the inner tank body and the outer insulated shell, utilizes the insulation layer for heat insulation, preventing the liquid temperature in the insulated chamber from dropping rapidly. Furthermore, the constant-temperature heating element at the bottom of the insulated chamber ensures reliable transfer.
[0004] However, the aforementioned utility model patents still have some shortcomings:
[0005] During use, the aforementioned utility model patent uses damping components installed in the inner cylinder to disturb the liquid sloshing generated during the movement of the transfer tank, thereby ensuring the stability of the device during movement. However, the damping components will slosh and wear when in action, and the zinc immersion solution is corrosive, which will corrode the internal components of the inner cylinder over time, requiring periodic replacement. In addition, installing damping components in the inner cylinder results in an overly complex structure and high cost. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a transfer tank for zinc bath processing, including a base 1, an insulated tank 2 welded to the top of the base 1, an outer cylinder 3 installed around the outer cylinder 2 and on the top of the base 1, an insulated space 4 reserved between the outer cylinder 3 and the insulated tank 2, a heating tube 5 wound around the outer wall of the insulated tank 2 in the insulated space 4, and several movable components 10 installed at the bottom of the base 1;
[0026] The inner bottom of the heat-insulating barrel 2 is fixed with no fewer than two parallel baffles 6. Each baffle 6 has baffle holes 7 on its side wall. The baffle holes 7 on each pair of adjacent baffles 6 are staggered in the vertical direction. Each baffle 6 has a flow hole 8 near the bottom of the heat-insulating barrel 2.
[0027] Specifically, the heating element 5 heats the insulation space 4 to ensure the temperature of the zinc bath solution in the insulation tank 2 during the transfer process.
[0028] The baffle 6 reduces the pressure on the inner wall of the insulated barrel 2 caused by the shaking of the molten zinc inside the transfer barrel during transportation. The baffle holes 7 can divert the shaking molten zinc to reduce the pressure on the inner wall of the insulated barrel 2. The baffle holes 7 on every two adjacent baffles 6 are staggered in the vertical direction, so that the molten zinc passing through the baffle holes 7 impacts the other adjacent baffle 6, further reducing the impact on the inner wall of the insulated barrel 2.
[0029] Both the baffle 6 and the inner wall of the insulated bucket 2 are coated with anti-corrosion paint. During the transportation of zinc immersion liquid, no friction is generated inside the insulated bucket 2, which improves the service life of the insulated bucket and makes the structure simpler.
[0030] Furthermore, the bottom of the base 1 has at least two mounting cavities 9 equidistantly spaced along the axis. Each mounting cavity 9 is equipped with a moving component 10. The moving component 10 includes a connecting block 101, which is installed in the mounting cavity 9. A moving wheel 103 is installed at the bottom end of the connecting block 101.
[0031] Specifically, a locking mechanism is installed on the movable wheel 103 to prevent the movable wheel 103 from moving when transportation stops. The connection block 101 and the movable wheel 103 are designed to support the base 1 and facilitate the movement of the insulated container 2.
[0032] Furthermore, the connecting block 101 is rotatably installed in the mounting cavity 9 via the connecting shaft 102, and a mounting groove 104 is provided on the side wall of the connecting block 101 near the top of the mounting cavity 9, and a mounting groove 105 is provided at the top of the mounting cavity 9 near the mounting groove 104. A spring 106 is installed between the mounting groove 104 and the mounting groove 105.
[0033] Specifically, the spring 106 reduces the shaking of the zinc bath inside the insulation tank 2 caused by bumps, further reducing the impact on the inner wall of the insulation tank 2.
[0034] Furthermore, an inlet hopper 15 is installed on the top of the outer cylinder 3, and an outlet pipe 16 is installed on the side wall of the outer cylinder 3. Both the inlet hopper 15 and the outlet pipe 16 penetrate the side wall of the outer cylinder 3 and are connected to the internal space of the insulation tank 2. Control valves 17 are installed on the side walls of both the inlet hopper 15 and the outlet pipe 16.
[0035] Specifically, the staff injects the zinc immersion solution to be transferred into the heat preservation tank 2 through the inlet hopper 15, and discharges it through the outlet pipe 16 when it is needed; the control valve 17 is set to control the closure of the pipeline channel.
[0036] Furthermore, the inner wall of the outer cylinder 3 is coated with a heat-insulating coating 19, and a temperature monitor 12 and a pressure monitor 13 are respectively installed on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 3. A solenoid valve 14 and a controller 11 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 3. The pressure monitor 13 and the solenoid valve 14 are connected by a line, and the controller 11 is connected to the temperature monitor 12 and the pressure monitor 13 by a line.
[0037] Specifically, the insulation coating 19 increases the insulation of the outer cylinder 3 and slows down the rate of temperature dissipation inside the outer cylinder 3.
[0038] Temperature monitor 12 monitors the temperature of the insulation space 4, while pressure monitor 13 monitors the internal pressure of the insulation space 4. When the heating tube 5 heats the insulation space 4, the gas expands, causing the pressure inside the insulation space 4 to gradually increase. When the pressure rises to the set value, the solenoid valve 14 opens to release the gas and relieve the pressure inside the insulation space 4.
[0039] When the temperature inside the insulation space 4 is lower than the set temperature of the temperature monitor 12, the controller 11 automatically controls the heating tube 5 to heat automatically. When the temperature rises to the set value, the controller 11 controls the heating tube 5 to stop heating.
[0040] The controller 11 also contains a battery and a control button. The battery provides power, while the control button is used to control the operation of the heating element 5.
[0041] A handle 18 is also fixed to the outer wall of the outer cylinder 3 for easy movement.
[0042] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: After the utility model is installed, the staff will turn on the heating tube 5 in advance to heat the heat preservation space 4. After heating to the set temperature, the staff will inject the zinc immersion water to be transferred into the heat preservation tank 2 through the liquid inlet hopper 15.
[0043] During the movement of the outer cylinder 3, the spring 106 reduces the swaying amplitude of the zinc bath caused by bumps, while the baffle 6 reduces the impact on the inner wall of the insulation tank 2.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
