Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of plate making and electroplating technology, and more particularly to a plate making and electroplating cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Electroplating technology is an electroplating process used in plate making. It involves electrolysis to reduce and deposit metal ions onto a specific plate surface, forming the desired metal coating. This technology allows for precise control of the coating thickness and shape to meet the high precision requirements of plate making. Commonly used in printing plate making, it improves the durability and print quality of printing plates, enabling better ink transfer during printing and resulting in clear and accurate images and text. It also helps improve plate making efficiency and reduce costs, finding wide application in packaging, publishing, and other industries.
[0003] Currently, in the plate-making and electroplating industry, the primary method for treating cleaning wastewater is direct discharge, with almost no secondary reuse. In daily production processes, a large amount of water used for cleaning is directly discharged into the environment after completing plate-making and electroplating processes without proper recycling. This situation has led to extremely serious consequences. On the one hand, water resources are wasted immensely; every drop of discharged wastewater represents a significant loss of precious water resources. In the long run, this undoubtedly exacerbates the already water-scarce society. On the other hand, treating this wastewater requires companies to invest heavily in building wastewater treatment facilities, purchasing treatment agents, and maintaining equipment operation. This undoubtedly adds substantial extra costs, increasing operating expenses for businesses and resulting in the unreasonable consumption of social resources. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, this application proposes a plate-making electroplating cleaning device, the structure of which includes a first valve, a second valve, a first nozzle group, and a second nozzle group. The first valve includes a first control structure to control the water flow rate into the first nozzle group. The second valve includes a second control structure to control the water flow rate into the second nozzle group. The first nozzle group consists of at least two nozzles, all nozzles forming a group, and the first nozzle group is located in the middle of the plate-making electroplating cleaning device. The second nozzle group consists of two independent nozzles, located at the head and tail of the plate-making electroplating cleaning device, respectively.
[0005] Preferably, the control structure of the first valve is controlled by a first control signal generated by an external control system.
[0006] Preferably, the control structure of the second valve is controlled by a second control signal generated by an external control system.
[0007] Preferably, the first nozzle group consists of two nozzles arranged side by side in a row.
[0008] Preferably, the first nozzle group consists of four nozzles arranged in a straight line.
[0009] Preferably, the electrical signal control system controls the closing of the first and second valves based on the pattern length provided by the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). When the pattern length provided by the MES is less than or equal to 500 mm, the first valve is open and the second valve is closed. When the pattern length provided by the MES is greater than 500 mm, both the first and second valves are open.
[0010] Preferably, the opening time of the first valve and the second valve for each cleaning cycle is 8 seconds.
[0011] Preferably, the control structure is a solenoid valve.
[0012] Preferably, the distance between the nozzles of the second nozzle group is less than 30cm.
[0013] Preferably, the external control system includes a manual control mode, in which the opening and closing of the first valve and the second valve can be directly controlled via the control panel.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] By improving the structure of plate-making electroplating cleaning equipment, this application can effectively help enterprises achieve their clean production goals, realizing the dual benefits of energy conservation, emission reduction, and pollution control. In practice, technologies such as membrane separation and ion exchange can be used to precisely remove heavy metal ions, chemical agents, and other harmful substances from wastewater, ensuring that the purified water meets the standards for reuse in production. This not only significantly reduces enterprises' reliance on fresh water resources and minimizes water waste, but also substantially reduces the total amount of pollutants discharged.
