Its primary function is to achieve efficient circulation, distribution, filtration, and state control of the polishing fluid, thereby ensuring polishing quality, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0003] Through its built-in or external filtration devices, such as filter screens, filter elements, and magnetic rods, it filters impurities such as metal shavings, oxide scale, and colloidal particles generated during the polishing process in real time, preventing impurities from flowing back to the polishing station with the liquid and avoiding scratching the workpiece surface or contaminating the polishing liquid.

[0004] Considering that the cleaning process for impurities adsorbed on the filter components often relies on manual cleaning using scrapers, and that the partitions on the tank need to be removed separately during cleaning so that the scraped impurities fall into the pre-set waste trough, manual cleaning is not only inefficient and the cleaning effect is unstable, but also increases labor costs and equipment maintenance difficulty. Therefore, a manifold for electrochemical polishing is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a manifold for electrochemical polishing, which aims to solve the problem that in the prior art, when cleaning impurities adsorbed on the filter components in traditional manifolds, it is necessary to manually clean them with a scraper and remove the partition separately to let the impurities fall into the waste trough. This method is inefficient, ineffective, and increases labor and maintenance costs.

[0007] The partition assembly includes a chute, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner surface of the water distribution tank, and a filling plate is elastically connected to the inner surface of the chute by a spring C.

[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 manifold for electrochemical polishing, comprising a manifold 1. The manifold 1 serves as the main structure, containing the polishing liquid and performing functions such as diversion, filtration, and impurity removal. It is the core carrier of the entire device. An adsorption plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the manifold 1, providing a support carrier for the subsequent adsorption of ferromagnetic metal particles in the polishing liquid. Its position is designed to ensure sufficient contact between the polishing liquid and the adsorption material as it flows through. A scraper 6 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the adsorption plate 5, facilitating the mechanical scraping of attached metal particles when cleaning impurities from the surface of the adsorption plate 5 is required. An electric slider 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the scraper 6, providing a power source for the scraper 6. The electric drive enables the scraper 6 to move laterally along the surface of the adsorption plate 5, automating the cleaning process and improving cleaning efficiency. The inner surface of the electric slider 10 is slidably connected to the electric slide rail 11, which provides a sliding track for the electric slider 10, ensuring the stability and linear motion accuracy of the electric slider 10 when it drives the scraper 6, and guaranteeing the reliability of scraping off impurities. The outer surface of the electric slide rail 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the water collection tank 1, making the entire sliding mechanism firmly installed and preventing structural shaking caused by the flow of polishing liquid or the movement of the scraper 6, which would affect the normal operation of the device. The inner surface of the electric slider 10 is elastically connected to the push rod 17 through the spring A15, so that the push rod 17 always moves to the left side of the electric slider 10 without the influence of external force.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-3 The outer surface of the push rod 17 is connected to the pusher 9. The movement of the electric slider 10 drives the push rod 17 to push the pusher 9. The outer surface of the pusher 9 is slidably connected to the top of the inner surface of the water collection tank 1, ensuring that it can move laterally stably under the action of the push rod 17, providing a reliable transmission path for driving the partition 7 to rise and fall. The inner surface of the pusher 9 is hinged to the partition 7 through the hinge rod 8. When the pusher 9 moves laterally, the lateral movement is converted into the rising and falling movement of the partition 7 through the transmission action of the hinge rod 8. The outer surface of the partition 7 is slidably connected to the left side of the inner surface of the water collection tank 1, ensuring the stability of the partition 7 during the rising and falling process, avoiding shaking or deviation, and ensuring that it can effectively block the flow of impurities or open the waste discharge channel.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-3 A partition assembly 18 is provided on the left side of the inner surface of the water collection tank 1. It is used to cooperate with the lifting action of the partition plate 7 to open and close the waste discharge channel, and at the same time prevent impurities from entering the waste port 4 in the non-cleaning state, so as to ensure the normal filtration process of the device. The partition assembly 18 includes a chute 181. The outer surface of the chute 181 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner surface of the water collection tank 1, providing a channel for the collection and discharge of scraped metal particles. The inner surface of the chute 181 is elastically connected to a filling plate 182 by a spring C183. The spring C183 gives the filling plate 182 an elastic restoring ability. In the cleaning state, the filling plate 182 can close the slot at the top of the chute 181 to prevent polishing liquid or impurities from entering the waste channel.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-3 The partition assembly 18 also includes a plug-in plate 184. The top end of the outer surface of the plug-in plate 184 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer surface of the partition 7, allowing the plug-in plate 184 to move with the partition 7 as it rises and falls. This triggers the action of the filling plate 182, achieving linkage between the partition 7 and the partition assembly 18, ensuring the coordination of the waste discharge process. The outer surface of the plug-in plate 184 is inserted into the top end of the inner surface of the chute 181. The insertion engagement allows the plug-in plate 184 to be inserted into the chute 181 when the partition 7 descends. At the top, the position of the filling plate 182 is restricted, keeping the chute 181 closed. When the partition 7 rises, it disengages from the insertion, allowing the filling plate 182 to move and opening the waste channel. The bottom end of the outer surface of the insertion plate 184 contacts and connects with the top end of the outer surface of the filling plate 182, so that when the insertion plate 184 is driven down by the partition 7, it can be inserted into the slot at the top of the chute 181 by squeezing the filling plate 182, thereby isolating the left side of the water distribution tank 1.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-3The outer surface of the pusher 9 is elastically connected to the top of the inner surface of the water tank 1 via spring B16. Spring B16 provides a reset force for the pusher 9. When the electric slider 10 drives the push rod 17 to reset, the pusher 9 can automatically move to the right under the action of spring B16, driving the partition 7 to descend and reset, realizing the automatic return of the mechanism and reducing manual intervention. An electromagnet 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the adsorption plate 5. The electromagnet 13 generates magnetism and is used to adsorb ferromagnetic metal particles in the polishing liquid, such as iron, nickel, cobalt, etc., to achieve preliminary filtration of the polishing liquid, remove impurities that affect the polishing effect, and improve the polishing liquid. To ensure purity, a barrier strip is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the adsorption plate 5. The barrier strip forms a groove on the surface of the adsorption plate 5 to trap the adsorbed metal particles and prevent them from being washed away by the subsequent flowing polishing liquid, ensuring effective separation of impurities and improving filtration efficiency. A filter screen 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer surface of the adsorption plate 5. The filter screen 12 is V-shaped, which increases the filtration area and allows the polishing liquid to fully contact the filter screen when it flows through, further filtering non-ferromagnetic impurities such as non-metallic particles and suspended matter. Through multi-layer filtration, the cleanliness of the polishing liquid is improved and the service life of the polishing liquid is extended.

[0039] Reference Figures 1-3 The outer surface of the water collection tank 1 has a waste outlet 4 on the left side. The inside of the waste outlet 4 is designed with a slope. The slope design allows the waste to be discharged more smoothly from the waste outlet 4 under the action of gravity, avoiding the accumulation of waste in the channel, ensuring the efficiency of the cleaning process, and reducing the difficulty of manual cleaning. The top of the outer surface of the water collection tank 1 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 2, which is used to introduce the polishing liquid from the polishing station into the water collection tank 1. The bottom of the outer surface of the water collection tank 1 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 3, which is used to discharge the filtered clean polishing liquid for reuse in the polishing station. The outer surface of the partition 7 is fixedly connected to the guide block 14. The outer surface of the guide block 14 is slidably connected to the left side of the inner surface of the water collection tank 1. The guide block 14 slides and cooperates with the inner wall of the water collection tank 1 to provide guidance for the lifting and lowering of the partition 7, preventing the partition 7 from tilting or jamming during the movement, and limiting the rising and falling position of the partition 7.

[0040] Working principle: When the polishing liquid in the polishing station enters the water distribution tank 1 from the inlet pipe 2, it will first flow onto the adsorption plate 5. The adsorption plate 5 uses the magnetism generated by the electromagnet 13 fixed at its bottom to adsorb ferromagnetic metal particles in the polishing liquid, such as iron, nickel, cobalt, etc., onto the surface of the adsorption plate 5. The metal particles adsorbed on the adsorption plate 5 are stored in the grooves formed by the barrier strips set on the adsorption plate 5 to prevent them from being washed away by the polishing liquid. Then, the polishing liquid filtered by the adsorption plate 5 will flow into the V-shaped filter screen 12 for further filtration of impurities inside.

[0041] When it is necessary to clean the metal particles on the adsorption plate 5, the electric slider 10 is activated to drive the scraper 6 to move laterally along the electric slide rail 11, so that the scraper 6 pushes the metal particles on the adsorption plate 5 to the left side of the water collection tank 1. When the electric slider 10 moves to the designated position, the push rod 17 inside the electric slider 10 will contact the pusher 9, so that the push rod 17 drives the pusher 9 to move to the left side of the water collection tank 1. When the pusher 9 moves to the left, it will drive the partition 7 to rise through the action of the hinge rod 8 and the guide block 14, so that the scraper 6 drives the partition 7 to rise before reaching the left side of the water collection tank 1, thus preventing motion interference.

[0042] When the partition 7 rises, the filling plate 182 inside the chute 181 will move upward due to the squeezing effect of the plug plate 184 and the elastic force of the spring C183, filling the slot at the top of the chute 181. This prevents the metal particles scraped by the scraper 6 from falling into the slot, but instead they fall into the chute 181 and are discharged from the waste port 4. After cleaning, the electric slider 10 drives the scraper 6 to reset, and the pusher 9 will move to the right due to the elastic force of the spring B16. This causes the pusher 9 to drive the partition 7 to descend and reset via the hinge rod 8.

[0043] 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.
