In order to improve the aesthetics and functionality of aluminum plates, surface treatment technology electrolytic coloring has become particularly important. However, traditional aluminum plate electrolytic coloring equipment has significant shortcomings in terms of efficiency, continuity and flexibility.
[0003] Many existing aluminum plate electrolytic coloring equipment adopts an intermittent operation mode. The same batch of aluminum plates can only be electrolytically colored after all the aluminum plates are ready. That is, after each batch of electrolytic coloring is completed, all aluminum plates need to be dried at the same time. This mode not only causes production process interruption, but also increases waiting time, reduces overall production efficiency, and prolongs the entire production cycle. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, the present invention is improved in that the driving device includes a driven bevel gear, a driving bevel gear, and a first motor. The first motor is installed on the top wall of the fixed frame. The output end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the top wall of the first motor.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a continuous alumina plate electrolytic coloring machine, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This continuous alumina plate electrolytic coloring machine, through the coordinated operation of multiple sets of clamping and lifting devices, allows for immediate descent and electrolytic coloring of a set of aluminum plates after clamping. Then, other sets of clamping devices secure the next set of aluminum plates, which are then lowered and raised using other lifting devices. After lifting, the plates are immediately dried. By rationally arranging the working sequence of each clamping device, each device operates efficiently, avoiding waste caused by idle resources. Because multiple lifting and clamping devices can alternately perform fixing, lowering, and raising operations, the entire production line can operate uninterruptedly, greatly improving overall production efficiency. The modular design provides high flexibility, allowing adjustments to meet different production needs and ensuring continuous electrolytic coloring of aluminum plates.
[0018] This continuous alumina plate electrolytic coloring machine, through its linear movement device and drying device, uses a second motor to drive a threaded rod to rotate, which in turn moves the second slider and its drying device precisely to the target position. This ensures accurate alignment with the aluminum plate to be processed each time, reducing positioning time. The airflow generated by the fan in the drying device blows directly onto the surface of the aluminum plate, accelerating moisture evaporation and significantly shortening the drying time compared to natural air drying, thus improving production efficiency. In addition, by rationally arranging multiple fans and adjusting their operating parameters, uniform drying of all parts of the aluminum plate can be ensured, reducing quality problems caused by uneven drying in certain areas. By directly transitioning from the electrolytic coloring step to the drying step, intermediate waiting time is reduced, making the entire production line smoother and more efficient.

[0024] 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.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4A continuous alumina plate electrolytic coloring machine includes an electrolytic coloring machine body 1, coloring tanks 2, a lifting device, a clamping device, a linear moving device, a drying device, and a moving device. Multiple coloring tanks 2 are formed at the top of the electrolytic coloring machine body 1. The moving device is installed on the bottom wall of the electrolytic coloring machine body 1. A support frame 3 is installed on the top wall of the electrolytic coloring machine body 1. Multiple clamping devices are installed on the top wall of the support frame 3 via multiple lifting devices. A fixing frame 4 is installed on the back wall of the support frame 3. The drying device is installed inside the fixing frame 4 via the linear moving device. A control panel 5 is installed on the side wall of the support frame 3. In this embodiment, during use, the aluminum plate to be processed is first fixed using a set of clamping devices. At this stage, relevant parameters, such as current density and electrolysis time, can be preset on the control panel 5. The clamping devices descend under the action of the lifting devices, allowing the aluminum plate to enter the pre-prepared coloring tanks. The aluminum plate is then released from the clamping device in color tank 2, and the electrolytic coloring machine body 1 electrolytically colors the aluminum plate. After completing one step, the clamping device fixes the aluminum plate again, and then the lifting device lifts the aluminum plate. The drying device is then moved to the corresponding aluminum plate by the linear movement device, and the lifted aluminum plate is dried. After clamping a group of aluminum plates, the lifting device can immediately lower the plate and perform electrolytic coloring. Then, the next group of aluminum plates is fixed by other clamping devices, and the lowering and lifting operations are performed by other lifting devices. After lifting, the plate can be dried immediately. By rationally arranging the working sequence of each clamping device, each device can be in a state of high-efficiency operation, avoiding waste caused by idle resources. Since multiple clamping devices can alternately perform fixing, lowering, and lifting operations, the entire production line can achieve uninterrupted operation, greatly improving the overall production efficiency and realizing the continuity of aluminum plate electrolytic coloring and drying.
[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lifting device includes an electric telescopic rod 6. The electric telescopic rod 6 is installed on the top wall of the support frame 3. The bottom output end of the electric telescopic rod 6 passes through the top wall of the support frame 3 and is connected to the top wall of the clamping device. When the control panel 5 issues a command, the electric telescopic rod 6 starts and begins to extend (or retract, depending on the specific process), driving the clamping device and aluminum plate to slowly and smoothly descend to the predetermined position. After the process is completed, the electric telescopic rod 6 moves again, lifting the clamping device and aluminum plate together and returning them to the initial height to prepare for the next process.
[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, the clamping device includes a fixed frame 7, a bidirectional screw 8, a first slider 9, a connecting rod 10, a clamping block 11, and a driving device. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 6 is mounted with the fixed frame 7 having a lower opening via the driving device. The bidirectional screw 8 is rotatably mounted inside the fixed frame 7. The first slider 9 is threaded onto both ends of the bidirectional screw 8. Connecting rods 10 are mounted on the bottom walls of both ends of the two sets of first sliders 9. The clamping block 11 is mounted on the end of each set of connecting rods 10 that is close to each other. When the electric telescopic rod 6 is in a high position, the clamping device is also in a high position. At this time, the two sets of first sliders 9 on the bidirectional screw 8 are located at the two ends of the bidirectional screw 8, and the clamping block 11 is in the maximum spacing position, ready to receive the aluminum plate to be processed. The operator or automated equipment places the aluminum plate to be processed into the lower opening of the fixed frame 7. At the opening, ensure the aluminum plate is correctly placed between the clamping blocks 11. Start the drive device via the control panel 5. The drive device drives the bidirectional screw 8 to rotate. Due to the design features of the bidirectional screw 8 (the threads on the left and right sides are opposite), when the bidirectional screw 8 rotates, the first sliders 9 on both sides will move towards the center along the screw. As the first sliders 9 approach, the clamping blocks 11 connected to their bottom ends also move inward, gradually approaching and finally tightly clamping the two sides of the aluminum plate. During this process, the clamping force can be precisely controlled by adjusting the torque of the drive device to avoid damaging the aluminum plate. The drive device rotates the bidirectional screw 8 in the opposite direction, causing the first sliders 9 to move outward, releasing the aluminum plate, and then entering the electrolytic coloring process. After the electrolytic coloring process is completed, the electrolytically colored aluminum plate is fixed again by the clamping device. The electric telescopic rod 6 can lift the clamping device to a high position for drying.
[0028] Preferably, in this embodiment, the driving device includes a driven bevel gear 12, a driving bevel gear 13, and a first motor 14. The first motor 14 is mounted on the top wall of the fixed frame 7. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 6 is connected to the top wall of the first motor 14. The driven bevel gear 12 is sleeved on the outer wall of the middle part of the bidirectional screw 8. The driving bevel gear 13 is mounted through the top wall of the fixed frame 7 at the output end of the first motor 14. The driving bevel gear 13 and the driven bevel gear 12 are meshed together. When the control panel 5 issues a command to the control system, the first motor 14 starts to operate. As the first motor 14 starts, the driving bevel gear 13 rotates accordingly. Because the driving bevel gear 13 and the driven bevel gear 12 are tightly meshed, the driving bevel gear 13... The rotational motion is transmitted to the driven bevel gear 12, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the middle part of the bidirectional screw 8. Therefore, its rotation directly drives the bidirectional screw 8 to rotate. Since the threads at both ends of the bidirectional screw 8 are opposite, when it rotates, the first sliders 9 on both sides will move along the screw towards the center or outward, thereby realizing the clamping or loosening action of the clamping block 11. By adjusting the speed and rotation direction of the first motor 14, the rotational speed and direction of the bidirectional screw 8 can be precisely controlled, thereby accurately adjusting the position and clamping force of the clamping block 11. After completing the required operation, the control system sends a command to the first motor 14 to stop running. At this time, the driving bevel gear 13 and the driven bevel gear 12 stop rotating, and the bidirectional screw 8 also stops rotating. The entire clamping device remains in the current state until the next operation command.
[0029] Preferably, in this embodiment, the linear motion device includes a groove 15, a threaded rod 16, a second motor 17, a second slider 18, and a connecting frame 19. The groove 15 is laterally formed on one side wall of the fixed frame 4 near the electrolytic coloring machine body 1. The threaded rod 16 is rotatably mounted within the groove 15. One end of the threaded rod 16 passes through the side wall of the fixed frame 4 and is fitted with the second motor 17. The second slider 18 is threaded onto the threaded rod 16. Two sets of connecting frames 19 are symmetrically mounted on the side wall of the second slider 18. The drying device is installed at the output end of the connecting frame 19. When the aluminum plate at a specific location is dried via the control panel 5, a command is sent to the second motor 17 to start it. The second motor 17 drives the threaded rod 16... 6. Rotation: Since there is a threaded connection between the threaded rod 16 and the second slider 18, when the threaded rod 16 rotates, the second slider 18 will move along the direction of the threaded rod 16. Specifically, if it is necessary to move the drying device to the left or right to align with the target aluminum plate, this is achieved by controlling the rotation direction of the second motor 17. The control system can accurately control the speed and rotation angle of the second motor 17 according to the preset position data or real-time feedback data to ensure that the second slider 18 moves accurately to the designated position. In this way, the drying device installed on the connecting frame 19 can accurately align with the target aluminum plate for drying. After drying is completed, the second motor 17 can rotate in the opposite direction to return the second slider 18 to the starting position or other predetermined position to prepare for the next operation.
[0030] Preferably, in this embodiment, the drying device includes a mounting frame 20 and a fan 21. Multiple mounting frames 20 are arranged vertically at the ends of the two sets of connecting frames 19. The fan 21 is installed in each mounting frame 20. When the control panel 5 issues a drying command, the fan 21 starts to operate. The airflow generated by the fan 21 blows directly onto the surface of the aluminum plate, accelerating the evaporation of moisture and thus achieving rapid drying. Since multiple mounting frames 20 are arranged vertically at the ends of the two sets of connecting frames 19, and each mounting frame 20 is equipped with a fan 21, different areas of the aluminum plate can be dried simultaneously. This design ensures that even large-sized aluminum plates can be fully covered, avoiding the phenomenon of local undried areas. The fan 21 can quickly remove moisture from the surface of the aluminum plate, greatly shortening the drying time compared to natural air drying and improving production efficiency. By reasonably arranging multiple fans 21 and adjusting their operating parameters, it can be ensured that all parts of the aluminum plate are dried evenly, reducing quality problems caused by uneven local drying.
[0031] Preferably, in this embodiment, the moving device includes casters 22 and brake components 23. The casters 22 are installed at all four corners of the bottom wall of the electrolytic coloring machine body 1. Each caster 22 is equipped with a brake component 23, which is adapted to the casters 22. When not moving, the electrolytic coloring machine body 1 is supported by the casters 22 at its four corners, and each caster 22 is equipped with a brake component 23. These brake components 23 are in a locked state, ensuring the machine is securely fixed in one position and preventing accidental slippage. When it is necessary to move the electrolytic coloring machine... When operating the electrolytic coloring machine, the operator first needs to unlock all the brake components 23 and release them by foot, thus allowing the casters 22 to rotate freely. After releasing the brakes, the electrolytic coloring machine body 1 can be easily pushed to the desired new position by manpower. Due to the design of the casters 22, the machine can move 360 degrees in all directions on the horizontal plane, which greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of movement. After reaching the target position, the brake components 23 are activated again to lock them in the appropriate position, which can effectively prevent the casters 22 from rolling and ensure that the electrolytic coloring machine remains stable.
[0032] Preferably, in this embodiment, both the first motor 14 and the second motor 17 are servo motors. Servo motors can provide very precise position control, which is especially important for applications that require precise positioning. For example, in a clamping device, a servo motor can ensure that the rotation angle of the bidirectional screw 8 is accurate, and in a linear motion device, it can ensure that the drying device is accurately aligned with the target aluminum plate for processing.

The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
