Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing, and in particular to a device for preparing ultra-thin metals with improved mechanical properties. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for high-performance ultra-thin metal parts in fields such as precision manufacturing, microelectronics, and aerospace, traditional metal processing technologies (such as stamping and rolling) face many challenges in the preparation of ultra-thin metal parts, including insufficient mechanical properties, difficulty in precise control of microstructure, and low production efficiency. Although existing ultra-thin metal preparation processes (such as micro-imprinting and laser processing) can achieve microstructure forming, they lack efficient subsequent processing steps, resulting in limited improvement in material performance. It is also inconvenient to sequentially imprint the microstructure, cool and transport, and electrodeposit the metal parts, leading to low production efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a device that can sequentially perform microstructure imprinting, cooling and conveying, and electrodeposition treatment on metal parts to improve mechanical properties and increase production efficiency for the preparation of ultra-thin metal parts with enhanced mechanical properties. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing ultra-thin metal fabrication processes, which, although capable of forming microstructures, lack efficient subsequent processing steps, resulting in limited improvement in material properties and inconvenience in sequentially performing microstructure imprinting, cooling and conveying, and electrodeposition on metal parts, leading to low production efficiency, this invention provides a device for fabricating ultra-thin metals that can sequentially perform microstructure imprinting, cooling and conveying, and electrodeposition on metal parts, thereby improving mechanical properties and increasing production efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution is: a device for preparing ultra-thin metals with improved mechanical properties, comprising a support frame, a powered rolling cylinder, a powered texturing cylinder, an electrodeposition cell, a conveying assembly, and a storage assembly. The support frame is provided with two sets of powered rolling cylinders, each set consisting of multiple powered rolling cylinders. The upper and lower parts of the support frame each have two powered texturing cylinders on the left and right sides. The right side of the support frame is connected to the electrodeposition cell. The left side of the electrodeposition cell is provided with a conveying assembly that can transport and cool the metal parts simultaneously. The electrodeposition cell is provided with a storage assembly that can hold the metal parts for electrodeposition.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper part of the electrodeposition cell has two folded guide grooves, one at the front and one at the back.
[0007] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a first motor, gears, and a conveying frame. The first motor is connected to the front left side of the electrodeposition cell, and the conveying frame is rotatably connected to the upper left side of the electrodeposition cell. Gears are also connected to the front of the conveying frame, and gears are connected to the output shaft of the first motor. The gears mesh with each other.
[0008] Furthermore, the conveyor rack has multiple placement slots.
[0009] Furthermore, the conveyor frame has a hollow structure.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a storage assembly, which includes a placement frame, a second motor, rollers, a rotating plate, a guide rod, a limiting frame, and a telescopic spring. The placement frame is located in the middle of the electrodeposition cell and slides with the electrodeposition cell. Two second motors are connected to the front and rear sides of the placement frame, and rollers are connected to the output shafts of the second motors. The rollers are in contact with the electrodeposition cell. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the lower right part of the placement frame, and a guide rod is connected to the upper rear part of the rotating plate. A limiting frame is slidably connected to the guide rod, and the limiting frame is engaged with the placement frame. A telescopic spring connects the limiting frame and the rotating plate.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model uses a dynamic textured cylinder to imprint patterns on the surface of metal parts, then cools them down by connecting water pipes to the conveyor frame, and then the metal parts fall into the placement frame by rotating the conveyor frame. Electrodeposition is then performed by the electrolyte solution in the electrodeposition tank. This achieves the effect of sequentially imprinting microstructures, cooling and conveying, and electrodeposition treatment on metal parts, thereby improving mechanical properties and increasing production efficiency.
[0012] 2. This utility model starts the second motor, drives the roller to rotate, and causes the roller to move to the right along the electrodeposition cell, which in turn moves the placement frame to the right. After moving to the right a certain distance, the placement frame is lifted upward, and then the limiting frame is moved forward. Then the rotating plate is rotated, and the metal part is taken out. This achieves the effect of making it easy to move and lift the metal part after preparation, and making it easy to take out the prepared metal part. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] An apparatus for preparing ultra-thin metals with improved mechanical properties, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a support frame 1, a powered roller 2, a powered textured roller 3, an electrodeposition cell 4, a conveying assembly, and a storage assembly. The support frame 1 is equipped with two sets of powered rollers 2, each set consisting of four powered rollers 2. The support frame 1 has two powered textured rollers 3 on the left and right sides of both the upper and lower parts. The electrodeposition cell 4 is connected to the right side of the support frame 1. The electrodeposition cell 4 has two folded guide grooves on the upper part for easy guidance. The electrodeposition cell 4 is equipped with a conveying assembly on the left side and a storage assembly on the electrodeposition cell 4.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the conveying assembly includes a first motor 5, a gear 6, and a conveying frame 7. The first motor 5 is connected to the front left side of the electrodeposition cell 4, and the conveying frame 7 is rotatably connected to the upper left side of the electrodeposition cell 4. The conveying frame 7 has eight placement slots to facilitate the placement of ultra-thin metal parts. The conveying frame 7 has a hollow structure to facilitate the injection of cold water. The gear 6 is also connected to the front of the conveying frame 7. The gear 6 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 5, and the gears 6 mesh with each other.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a storage component, which includes a placement frame 8, a second motor 9, rollers 10, a rotating plate 11, a guide rod 12, a limiting frame 13, and a telescopic spring 14. The placement frame 8 is located in the middle of the electrodeposition cell 4 and is slidably engaged with the electrodeposition cell 4. Two second motors 9 are connected to the front and rear sides of the placement frame 8, and rollers 10 are connected to the output shafts of the second motors 9. The rollers 10 are in contact with the electrodeposition cell 4. The rotating plate 11 is rotatably connected to the lower right part of the placement frame 8. The guide rod 12 is connected to the upper rear part of the rotating plate 11. The limiting frame 13 is slidably connected to the guide rod 12. The limiting frame 13 is engaged with the placement frame 8, and a telescopic spring 14 is connected between the limiting frame 13 and the rotating plate 11.
[0023] When using this equipment, first place the support frame 1 and the electrodeposition tank 4 in the metal preparation area, then start the power roller 2 and the power texturing cylinder 3, causing them to rotate. This allows the heated metal part to pass between the power roller 2, where the rotation of the power roller 2 compresses the metal part. The power texturing cylinder 3 imprints a pattern on the surface of the metal part. The imprinted microstructure effectively disperses stress concentration points, improving the fatigue resistance of the material. The formed metal part then enters the placement groove of the conveyor frame 7. Cold water is then introduced into the conveyor frame 7 through an external water pipe, cooling the metal part. Simultaneously, the first motor 5 is started, driving the gear 6 to rotate. The meshing gears of the first motor 6 rotate the conveyor frame 7, causing it to fall sequentially into the placement frame 8, immersing the metal part in the electrolyte solution within the electrodeposition tank 4. Electrochemical deposition is then performed on the surface of the metal part. A layer of metal with a nanometer-thickness is deposited to increase the interfacial bonding force and improve the overall strength. This allows for sequential imprinting of the microstructure, cooling and conveying, and electrodeposition treatment of the metal part, improving mechanical properties and increasing production efficiency. After the metal part is prepared, the second motor 9 is started, driving the roller 10 to rotate. The roller 10 moves to the right along the electrodeposition tank 4, causing the placement frame 8 to move to the right. After moving to the right for a certain distance, the placement frame 8 is lifted upwards, so that the metal part is no longer immersed in the electrolyte solution. Then, the limiting frame 13 is moved forward along the guide rod 12. The telescopic spring 14 is compressed and contracted, so that the limiting frame 13 is no longer stuck with the placement frame 8. Then, the rotating plate 11 is rotated downwards to open, releasing the limiting frame 13. The telescopic spring 14 returns to its original state, causing the limiting frame 13 to move and reset. The prepared metal part is then taken out. This allows for convenient movement and lifting of the metal part after preparation, making it easy to remove the prepared metal part.
