[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 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0026] An electrolytic degreasing tank for an electroplating production line includes a support frame 1, a tank structure 2 bolted to the top of the support frame 1, and an auxiliary structure 3 bolted to the inner side of the tank structure 2.

[0027] The tank structure 2 includes a fixed tank 21, an inner liner shell 22, a sealing cover 23, a drain valve pipe 24, an overflow pipe 25, and a level gauge 26. The inner side of the fixed tank 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner liner shell 22. The top of the fixed tank 21 is inserted into the bottom of the sealing cover 23. The top of the inner liner shell 22 is inserted into the bottom of the sealing cover 23. The left side of the fixed tank 21 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the right side of the drain valve pipe 24. The rear side of the fixed tank 21 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the front side of the overflow pipe 25. The right side of the fixed tank 21 is bolted to and communicates with the left side of the level gauge 26.

[0028] In this embodiment: the support frame 1 provides a stable installation platform for the tank structure 2, ensuring the stability of the electrolytic degreasing tank during operation. The tank structure 2 includes a fixed tank 21 as its main frame, with its inner side fixedly connected to the inner liner 22, providing a foundation for the installation and support of components such as the inner liner 22 and the sealing cover 23. The inner liner 22, which is in direct contact with the electrolyte, is made of corrosion-resistant material, effectively resisting electrolyte corrosion, protecting the fixed tank 21 from erosion, and extending the service life of the electrolytic degreasing tank. The sealing cover 23 seals the electrolytic degreasing tank, preventing electrolyte evaporation and splashing, reducing pollution to the working environment, and preventing external debris from entering the tank. The drain valve pipe 24 allows waste liquid to be discharged from the tank after electrolysis. The overflow pipe 25 can receive water from an external collection tank. When the electrolyte level is too high, excess electrolyte can be automatically discharged through the overflow pipe 25, preventing electrolyte overflow from the tank and causing environmental pollution and safety hazards.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary structure 3 includes a heating tube 31, the bottom of which is in contact with the bottom of the inner side of the inner liner shell 22.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a limiting member 32 is snapped onto the outside of the heating tube 31, and the bottom of the limiting member 32 is bolted to the bottom of the inner side of the inner liner shell 22.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a thermostat 33 is attached to the front of the heating tube 31, and a temperature sensor 34 is attached to the top of the thermostat 33.

[0032] In this embodiment: by setting an auxiliary structure 3, the heating tube 31 can be used to heat the electrolyte, increase the temperature of the electrolyte, and appropriately increase the electrolyte temperature can accelerate the electrolysis reaction and improve the oil removal efficiency. The limiting member 32 sets a limiting and fixing function for the heating tube 31. During the operation of the heating tube 31, the limiting member 32 can prevent the heating tube 31 from shifting or shaking. The temperature controller 33 sets a temperature to control the working state of the heating tube 31, and automatically adjusts the power of the heating tube 31 or starts and stops it according to the set temperature range. The temperature sensor 34 sets a temperature to monitor the temperature of the electrolyte in real time and feeds back the temperature signal to the temperature controller 33.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, mounting holes 4 are provided on the right side of the front side of the fixing groove 21 and the right side of the front side of the inner liner shell 22, and the heating tube 31 passes through the inner liner shell 22 and the fixing groove 21 in sequence.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a control box 5 is bolted to the front side of the fixing groove 21, and a fixing handle 6 is bolted to the top of the sealing cover 23.

[0035] In this embodiment: the installation hole 4 provides a channel for the installation of the heating tube 31, ensuring that the heating tube 31 can be accurately installed in the predetermined position. By setting up the control box 5, various control functions of the electrolytic degreasing tank are integrated, such as temperature control, electrolysis time control, power switch, etc.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a mating hole 7 is provided at the bottom left side of the inner liner shell 22, and a mating groove 8 is provided on the right side of the rear side of the inner liner shell 22. The fixing groove 21 is connected to the inner liner shell 22.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 1. There are four support rods 9, which are respectively set at the bottom of the support frame 1.

[0038] In this embodiment: by setting the mating hole 7 and the mating groove 8 in the inner liner shell 22, the inner liner shell 22 is used to achieve communication between the fixed groove 21. By setting four support rods 9, the electrolytic degreasing groove is ensured to be in a horizontal state and to provide stable support.

[0039] Working Principle: The electroplating production line uses an electrolytic degreasing tank with a support frame 1 as a stable foundation, bearing the weight of the entire equipment. In the tank structure 2, the fixed tank 21 serves as the main frame, providing an installation foundation for components such as the inner liner 22. The inner liner 22 is made of corrosion-resistant material and comes into direct contact with the electrolyte, preventing the fixed tank 21 from being corroded. The sealing cover 23 seals the electrolytic degreasing tank, preventing electrolyte evaporation, splashing, and the entry of external debris. The drain valve pipe 24 is used to discharge waste liquid after electrolysis. The overflow pipe 25 automatically discharges excess liquid when the electrolyte level is too high. The auxiliary structure 3 plays a crucial role, including a temperature sensor. 34 monitors the electrolyte temperature in real time and transmits the data to the temperature controller 33. The temperature controller 33 controls the working state of the heating tube 31 according to the set temperature range. When the electrolyte temperature is lower than the set value, the temperature controller 33 starts the heating tube 31 to heat the electrolyte, thereby accelerating the electrolysis reaction and improving the oil removal efficiency. The limiting member 32 restricts the position of the heating tube 31 when it is working to prevent displacement or shaking. In the entire electrolytic oil removal process, the control box 5 integrates various control functions. The operator sets parameters such as temperature and electrolysis time through the control box 5 to control the electrolytic oil removal process.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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.
