[0002] Pickling and passivation treatment of copper parts is mainly to remove surface oxides, rust and other possible contaminants, and form a protective passivation film, thereby improving the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the copper parts.
[0003] Currently, the surface treatment process for copper parts requires sequential pickling, rinsing, polishing, rinsing, passivation, rinsing, and drying. During the passivation process, the existing passivation method usually involves directly immersing the copper parts in a passivation bath. However, it takes a certain amount of time for the passivation solution to fully contact the surface of the copper parts, resulting in slow passivation efficiency. Therefore, improvements are needed.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a copper surface pickling and passivation device, including a passivation box 2, an ultrasonic transducer 15 installed at the bottom of the passivation box 2, and a temperature sensor 14 installed at the bottom of the passivation box 2. The temperature sensor 14 is fixed to the bottom of the passivation box 2 by bolts. The temperature sensor 14 can detect the passivation liquid inside the passivation box 2, and control the heater 13 to adjust it in time so that the temperature of the passivation liquid inside the passivation box 2 is always within a suitable temperature range. The jacketed heater 13 (silicone heating element recommended) uniformly heats the passivation liquid through heat conduction. The temperature sensor 14 monitors in real time with an accuracy of ±1℃. The temperature sensor 14 and the heater 13 are controlled by a PLC. Safety redundancy: forced temperature control when the temperature exceeds 60℃. The heater is turned off and an alarm sounds. Temperature sensors 14 are located on both sides of the ultrasonic transducer 15, which is fixed to the bottom of the passivation box 2 with bolts. A filter box 7 is installed on one side of the passivation box 2. The ultrasonic transducer 15 is connected to an ultrasonic generator, which converts ordinary frequency current into high frequency current. This high frequency electrical signal is transmitted to the ultrasonic transducer 15. After receiving the high frequency electrical signal, the ultrasonic transducer converts electrical energy into mechanical vibration through the inverse piezoelectric effect, thereby causing the passivation liquid in the passivation box 2 to vibrate at high frequency and make full contact with the copper parts. An output pipe 6 is connected to one side of the passivation box 2, and an output pump 8 is installed on the output pipe 6. One end of the output pipe 6 passes through the top of the filter box 7 and the filter element 12. Correspondingly, this structure uses an output pump 8 to discharge the passivation liquid inside the passivation tank 2 for filtration and recycling, achieving cost savings. The filter tank 7 is equipped with a cover, and a filter element 12 is fixedly connected inside. The filter element 12 is bolted to the filter tank 7 and is made of polypropylene (PP). Polypropylene (PP) filter elements have good corrosion resistance, ensuring filtration while maintaining a certain service life. A circulation pipe 5 is connected to one side of the filter tank 7, and a circulation pump 10 is installed on the circulation pipe 5. One end of the circulation pipe 5 is connected to the passivation tank 2. This structure uses the circulation pump 10 to input the filtered passivation liquid into the passivation tank 2 for reuse. The top of the passivation tank 2 has an opening, and a sealing device is hinged to the opening. The passivation tank 2 is sealed with a cap 4. A passivation liquid inlet pipe 1 is connected to the other side of the passivation tank 2. The passivation liquid inlet pipe 1 is used to replenish the passivation liquid. Solenoid valves 9 are installed on the passivation liquid inlet pipe 1, outlet pipe 6, and circulation pipe 5. These solenoid valves 9 can automatically control the opening and closing of the passivation liquid inlet pipe 1, outlet pipe 6, and circulation pipe 5. A jacket is provided on the outer wall of the passivation tank 2, and a heater 13 is installed inside the jacket. A drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the passivation tank 2. The drive motor 3 can be controlled by a PLC to ensure control accuracy and coordination between devices. An agitator 11 is rotatably connected inside the passivation tank 2. The agitators 11 are symmetrically distributed about the bisector of the passivation tank 2. The drive motor 3 drives two sets of agitators 11 to rotate at low speed (20-40 rpm), and the blades push the passivation liquid to form a horizontal vortex.To prevent metal ions from depositing on the copper surface, an avoidance design is employed: stirrers are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the placement frame 16 to prevent collisions with the copper parts. Stirrers 11 are located on both sides of the placement frame 16. This structure allows the stirrers 11 to drive the flow of the passivation liquid inside the passivation tank 2, improving the contact effect between the passivation liquid and the copper parts. The placement frame 16 has a mesh structure and is fixedly connected to the nozzle assembly 18. Multiple branch pipes are provided at the top of the nozzle assembly 18. This structure allows the passivation liquid to be evenly distributed at the bottom of the placement frame 16 and in contact with the bottom of the copper parts, improving the adequacy of contact. The top of the stirrer 11 is connected to the shaft of the drive motor 3. The placement frame 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the passivation tank 2. The nozzle assembly 18 is inserted into the bottom of the placement frame 16, and a connecting pipe 17 is connected to the bottom of the nozzle assembly 18. The device is equipped with a pump body 19 and a one-way valve 20. The pump body 19 is automatically controlled by a PLC, and the one-way valve 20 prevents backflow. The branch pipe of the nozzle assembly 18 sprays liquid upwards, penetrating the mesh of the placement frame 16 and directly impacting the bottom of the copper part. One end of the connecting pipe 17 is connected to the passivation box 2. A filter screen is installed inside the connecting pipe 17 connected to the passivation box 2 to prevent clogging inside the connecting pipe 17 and the pump body 19. The pump body 19 can spray the passivation liquid in the passivation box 2 onto the bottom of the placement frame 16 through the connecting pipe 17 and the nozzle assembly 18, allowing the passivation liquid to fully contact the bottom of the copper part. During use, the copper part can be manually added to the placement frame 16 using a clamp, or an automated loading and unloading can be achieved using a robotic arm combined with a clamp. The passivation step in this application is a process following pickling, rinsing, and polishing of the copper part.
[0023] Working principle: When using the copper surface pickling and passivation device, first open the sealing cover 4, then place the copper part inside the placement frame 16. During the passivation process, the drive motor 3 drives the stirrer 11 to rotate automatically. At the same time, the heater 13 heats the passivation liquid to a suitable temperature, while the pump body 19 draws the passivation liquid from the passivation tank 2 and sprays it onto the bottom of the copper part inside the placement frame 16 through the connecting pipe 17 and the spray nozzle assembly 18, improving the contact effect between the copper part and the passivation liquid. When the passivation liquid inside the passivation tank 2 needs to be treated, the output pump 8 and the circulation pump 10 are turned on, so that the passivation liquid inside the passivation tank 2 is drawn into the filter box 7 for filtration and then re-enters the passivation tank 2 through the circulation pipe 5 for use.
[0024] Although the present invention 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
