Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic degreasing, and in particular to a low-energy-consumption electrolytic degreasing electrode spacing adjustment mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of metal surface treatment, electrolytic degreasing removes grease through electrochemical action and is widely used in automobile manufacturing, precision electronic machining, and other scenarios. In this process, the precise adjustment of the electrode spacing directly affects the electric field distribution, current efficiency, and degreasing effect, while the convenient maintenance of the electrode plates is related to the continuity of the production line. Therefore, developing a mechanism that can quickly adjust the electrode spacing and achieve efficient assembly and disassembly of the electrode plates is of great significance for improving the stability and production efficiency of the electrolytic degreasing process.
[0003] Existing electrolytic degreasing equipment typically employs a fixed-spacing electrode plate installation structure or relies on manual screws, gears, or other mechanical transmission methods to adjust the electrode plate spacing. These traditional mechanical structures require manual adjustment group by group, resulting in cumbersome operation procedures and low adjustment accuracy, making it difficult to adapt to the degreasing process requirements of different workpieces. In terms of electrode plate maintenance, traditional designs often use bolt fixing or snap-fit connections, requiring repeated disassembly and assembly with the aid of tools, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Especially in large-scale production, frequent maintenance operations can easily lead to production line shutdowns and increase downtime costs.
[0004] However, existing technologies generally suffer from low efficiency in adjusting electrode spacing. Traditional adjustment methods are slow due to complex mechanical transmission structures and high manual intervention, making it difficult to respond quickly to real-time process requirements during production. This affects degreasing uniformity and energy consumption control. In addition, the problem of cumbersome electrode plate disassembly and assembly has not been effectively solved. Traditional fixing methods not only increase the labor intensity of operators, but also damage the electrode plate surface due to bumps and knocks during disassembly and assembly, further affecting the degreasing effect and equipment lifespan. Therefore, a low-energy electrolytic degreasing electrode spacing adjustment mechanism is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a low-energy-consumption electrolytic degreasing electrode spacing adjustment mechanism, which aims to improve the problem of low electrode spacing adjustment efficiency in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A low-energy-consumption electrolytic degreasing electrode spacing adjustment mechanism includes left and right symmetrical support plates. Each support plate has a fixed seat fixedly connected inside it. A slide rail is fixedly connected between the side walls of the fixed seats. An adjustment component is provided on the top of the slide rail, a fixed component is provided on the bottom of the slide rail, and an electrode plate is provided at the bottom of the fixed component.
[0008] The adjustment assembly includes multiple sliders arranged in an array on the outer wall of the slide rail. Each slider is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of one slider, and a power component is provided on the side of the fixing block. A connecting column is fixedly connected to the center of the top of each slider. Each connecting column is rotatably connected to a connecting arm one and a connecting arm two. The connecting arm one and the connecting column are interconnected through the connecting arm two and can rotate around the connecting arm two. The multiple connecting arms one, connecting columns, and connecting arms two cooperate with each other to transmit displacement.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The power assembly includes an electric actuator, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed base, and the output end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed block.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The support plate has multiple mounting holes inside, which are arranged in a rectangular array. Each mounting hole is fitted with a sliding fixing bolt.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The fixing component includes a locking block, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The bottom of the locking block is slidably connected to a connecting block, and the top of the electrode plate is fixedly connected inside the connecting block.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] Locking pins are slidably connected to the left and right sides inside the locking block. One end of each locking pin is slidably connected to the outer wall inside the connecting block. The other end of each locking pin is fixedly connected to a linkage plate, which is located on the outer wall of the locking block.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] Limiting plates are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the locking posts, and the outer walls of the locking posts are slidably connected inside the locking block.
[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0022] Each locking block is fitted with a limiting spring on its outer wall. One end of each limiting spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the locking block, and the other end of each limiting spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate.
[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. In this utility model, when it is necessary to adjust the electrode plate spacing, the output end of the electric push rod pushes the fixed block to move, causing one side slider to move on the outer wall of the slide rail, causing the top connecting arm one and connecting arm two to swing. Through the rotation of multiple sets of connecting arms and the cooperation of connecting columns, the displacement is transmitted to the remaining sliders to move inward or outward, thereby driving the electrode plates to move. This achieves the effect of quickly adjusting the electrode plate spacing, solves the problem of low electrode plate spacing adjustment efficiency, and improves the spacing adjustment speed.
[0025] 2. In this utility model, the operator pulls the linkage plates on both sides of the locking block by hand. The outward displacement of the plates causes the locking pin to disengage from the holes on both sides of the connecting block above the electrode plate. At the same time, the limiting plate is displaced, causing the limiting spring to compress. The electrode plate can then be removed. The connecting block at the top of the new electrode plate is inserted into the locking block. The linkage plate is then released, and the locking pin is inserted into the connecting block under the push of the limiting spring, thus completing the fixation. This achieves the effect of quick disassembly and assembly of the electrode plate, solving the problem of cumbersome disassembly and assembly of the electrode plate and improving maintenance efficiency and production continuity.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a low-energy-consumption electrolytic degreasing electrode spacing adjustment mechanism, comprising symmetrical support plates 1, which serve as the basic frame. The support plates 1 are made of Q345B low-alloy high-strength steel, 12mm thick, and formed by CNC cutting and welding, possessing good structural strength and deformation resistance. They support and fix the entire adjustment mechanism. Each support plate 1 is internally fixed with a fixing seat 4 by bolts. The fixing seat 4 is made of cast steel, possessing high rigidity and stability, and is used to install slide rails 5 and a power component. Slide rails 5 are fixedly connected between the side walls of the fixing seats 4. The slide rails 5 are made of alloy steel 42C. The working surface of the rMo is ground to a surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm and a hardness of HRC45-50. It is used to provide high-precision sliding guidance for the slider 6. The top of the slide rail 5 is equipped with an adjustment component to adjust the spacing of the electrode plates 14. The bottom of the slide rail 5 is equipped with a fixing component to fix the electrode plates 14. The electrode plates 14 are the core components of electrolytic degreasing. They are made of corrosion-resistant titanium-based coating material and coated with ruthenium-iridium oxide coating. They are used to undergo an electrochemical reaction during electrolysis to remove grease from the surface of the workpiece. The electrode plates 14 are existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0035] The adjustment assembly includes multiple sliders 6 arranged in an array on the outer wall of the slide rail 5. The sliders 6 are made of 45# steel, hardened to a hardness of HRC40-45. They have precision-machined guide holes that allow for sliding contact with the slide rail 5, ensuring smooth sliding. A fixing block 7, made of alloy steel, is welded to the top of one side of each slider 6 and is used to connect the power assembly and transmit power. The power assembly is located on the side of the fixing block 7. Connecting posts 11, made of 40Cr alloy steel, are welded to the center of the top of each slider 6. These posts have good strength and toughness and are used to connect connecting arms 1 (9) and 2 (10). Each connecting post 11 has a pin connecting connecting arms 1 (9) and 2 (10). Both connecting arms 1 (9) and 2 (10) are forged from high-strength alloy steel. The connecting arms 1 (9) and 2 (11) are connected via a connecting pin. Arm 2 10 is interconnected and can rotate around connecting arm 2 10. Multiple connecting arms 1 9, connecting column 11 and connecting arm 2 10 cooperate with each other to form a linkage transmission mechanism, which is used to transmit the displacement of fixed block 7 to other sliders 6 to achieve synchronous movement. The power component includes electric push rod 8. The outer shell of electric push rod 8 is made of aluminum alloy and integrates a motor, screw transmission mechanism and control system. Electric push rod 8 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The outer wall of electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the preset mounting hole position inside the fixed seat 4 by bolts. The output end of electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of fixed block 7 by pin to provide power and drive fixed block 7 and slider 6 to move. Multiple mounting holes 2 are drilled inside the support plate 1. The mounting holes 2 are distributed in a rectangular array. Each mounting hole 2 is slidably connected to a fixing bolt 3 by threaded engagement. The fixing bolt 3 is used to fix the entire adjustment mechanism in the required position.
[0036] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The fixing component includes a locking block 12, which is machined from 45# steel. The top of the locking block 12 is bolted to the bottom of the slider 6 to transmit the displacement of the slider 6 and install the locking structure. The bottom of the locking block 12 has a precision-machined groove that forms a sliding fit with the connecting block 13. The connecting block 13 is made of corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel and is used to insert the locking block 12 and position the electrode plate 14. The top of the electrode plate 14 is bolted to the inside of the connecting block 13. The left and right sides of the inside of the locking block 12 are milled to have grooves that match the locking posts 15. The locking posts 15 are slidably connected inside the locking block 12. The locking posts 15 are made of GCr15 bearing steel with a surface hardness of HRC60-62 and are used to insert into the hole to lock the electrode plate 14. The outer wall of one end of the locking post 15 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting block 13. Each locking post 15 has a fixed connecting plate 18 at one end. The connecting plate 18 is made of 304 stainless steel and has anti-slip texture on the surface for easy operation. The connecting plate 18 is located on the outer wall of the locking block 12. Each locking post 15 has a fixed connecting limit plate 16 made of 45 steel. The outer wall of the locking post 15 is slidably connected to the inside of the locking block 12, forming a sliding fit with the guide groove inside the locking block 12. This is used to limit the displacement range of the locking post 15 and to install the limit spring 17. Each locking post 12 has a limit spring 17 fitted on the outer wall of the locking block 12. The limit spring 17 is made of 65Mn spring steel with a wire diameter of 2.5mm. One end of each limit spring 17 is fixedly connected to a spring seat inside the locking block 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to a spring seat on the side wall of the limit plate 16. This is used to provide a reset force for the locking post 15. The elastic coefficient of the limit spring 17 has been calculated to ensure that it can provide sufficient locking force while facilitating manual unlocking.
[0037] Working principle: When using this low-energy electrolytic degreasing electrode spacing adjustment mechanism, first align the mounting holes 2 on the support plates 1 on both sides of the mechanism with the holes at the required installation positions, and then fix the entire mechanism in place with the fixing bolts 3. When it is necessary to adjust the electrode spacing 14, the output end of the electric push rod 8 pushes the fixing block 7 to move. The displacement of the fixing block 7 then drives the slider 6 on one side to move on the outer wall of the slide rail 5. The displacement of this slider 6 causes the connecting arm 1 9 and connecting arm 2 10 at its top to swing. The swing of the connecting arm 1 9 and connecting arm 2 10 then drives the connecting arm 1 9 and connecting arm 2 10 at the top of the other slider 6 connected to it to rotate. Then, under the rotation of multiple connecting arms 1 9 and connecting arm 2 10 and the cooperation of the connecting column 11, the displacement of the fixing block 7 is transmitted to the remaining multiple sliders 6 in sequence to move inward or outward, thereby driving the displacement of the electrode plates 14, thus achieving the effect of quickly adjusting the electrode spacing 14.
[0038] When it is necessary to replace electrode plate 14, the operator first locates the electrode plate 14 to be removed and pulls the linkage plates 18 on both sides of the locking block 12 by hand. The outward displacement of the linkage plates 18 causes the locking pins 15 to also move outward, so that the front end of the locking pins 15 disengages from the holes on both sides of the connecting block 13 above the electrode plate 14. At the same time, the limiting plate 16 is moved, which in turn causes the limiting spring 17 to be compressed. At this time, the electrode plate 14 can be removed. Then, the connecting block 13 on the top of the new electrode plate 14 is inserted into the locking block 12, and the linkage plates 18 are released. Under the push of the limiting spring 17, the locking pins 15 are inserted into the connecting block 13 again, thus completing the fixation of the electrode plate 14 and achieving the effect of quick disassembly and assembly of the electrode plate 14.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
