Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surface treatment equipment technology, and more specifically, it relates to a horizontal oscillating device for anodizing. Background Technology

[0002] Anodizing is a surface treatment technique that forms a thin oxide film on the surface of a metal or alloy through an electrolytic process. This process involves using the metal or alloy as the anode, and applying an electric current in an electrolyte to form a dense oxide film on its surface. Anodizing not only improves the corrosion resistance, hardness, and wear resistance of materials, but also enhances their insulation and heat resistance. Furthermore, anodized films can be dyed to improve their decorative properties, further enhancing their aesthetics and practicality.

[0003] This processing technology is widely used for various metallic materials, including aluminum, magnesium alloys, zinc and zinc alloys, titanium alloys, steel, cadmium, tantalum, zirconium, etc., with aluminum anodizing being particularly common. During the anodizing process, manual movement of the material is often required. However, the anodizing solution is an acidic liquid with strong corrosive properties, which can easily damage the skin and harm the operator's health with prolonged operation, resulting in poor overall performance. Therefore, this invention proposes a horizontal oscillating device for anodizing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a horizontal oscillating device for anodizing, which features automatic oscillation and safe use.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: This utility model relates to a horizontal swing device for anodizing, comprising a rectangular anodizing tank. The top of the anodizing tank has a closed square ring-shaped groove edge. Two long strips are arranged symmetrically front to back and extend horizontally left to right on the groove edge. A row of movable grooves are arranged at intervals along the length of the long strips. The openings of the movable grooves face upwards and extend horizontally left to right. Both ends of the movable grooves are connected to the outside. A swing suspension is provided on each of the front and rear sides of the anodizing tank, allowing horizontal left to right movement. A row of limiting grooves, each matching one of the movable grooves, is provided on the swing suspension. The openings of the limiting grooves face upwards and extend horizontally left to right. Both ends of the limiting grooves are connected to the outside. The front-to-back extension length of the limiting grooves is less than the front-to-back extension length of the movable grooves. A drive mechanism for controlling the horizontal left-to-right movement is provided on the swing suspension.

[0014] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of this utility model, and not for limiting the patent claims of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0016] Example 1 See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal swing device for anodizing involved in this embodiment includes a rectangular anodizing tank 1. The top of the anodizing tank 1 is provided with a closed square ring-shaped groove edge (not marked). Two long strips 2 are arranged symmetrically front to back and extend horizontally left to right on the groove edge. A row of movable grooves 3 are arranged at intervals along the length direction on the long strips 2. The openings of the movable grooves 3 face upward and extend horizontally left to right. Both ends of the movable grooves 3 are connected to the outside. A swing suspension 4 is provided on the front and rear sides of the anodizing tank 1, which moves horizontally left to right relative to each other. A row of limiting grooves 5 are provided on the swing suspension 4, which match the movable grooves one by one. The openings of the limiting grooves 5 face upward and extend horizontally left to right. Both ends of the device are connected to the outside. The front and rear extension length of the limiting groove 5 is less than the front and rear extension length of the movable groove 3. The swing suspension 4 is provided with a drive mechanism for controlling horizontal left and right movement. The drive mechanism includes a linkage frame 6 located at the right end of the swing suspension. A linkage circular hole 7 is provided on the linkage frame 6. A camshaft 8 passes through the linkage circular hole 7. A cam 9 with its wheel surface tightly attached to the hole wall of the linkage circular hole is provided on the camshaft 8. The cam 9 can rotate within the linkage circular hole 7. A bearing support 10 is provided at the left end of the anodizing tank 1. The camshaft 8 is rotatably connected to the bearing support 10. A motor 11 for controlling rotation is driven and connected to the camshaft. The motor 11 is a reduction motor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the anodizing tank.

[0017] Furthermore, the swing suspension 4 is provided with a wing 12 near the left end, and the wing 12 is provided with a movable elastic pin 13. The end of the wing 12 facing away from the linkage frame is provided with a fixed spring pin 14 on the anodizing tank. An elastic element 15 is connected between the fixed spring pin 14 and the movable elastic pin 13. The elastic element 15 is a tension spring that hooks the movable elastic pin at one end and the fixed spring pin at the other end.

[0018] Furthermore, the anodizing tank 1 has linear guide rails 16 extending horizontally left and right on the front and rear outer walls of the tank, and linear sliders 17 are slidably connected to the linear guide rails 16. The swing suspension 4 is mounted on the linear sliders 17.

[0019] Furthermore, the distance between two adjacent movable grooves 3 on the same long strip 2 is equal.

[0020] In this embodiment, the hanging rod for suspending the workpiece is first passed through the same set of movable grooves 3 and limiting grooves 5 in a horizontal forward and backward extension manner (the diameter of the hanging rod is slightly smaller than the forward and backward extension length of the limiting groove 5). The workpiece is immersed in the solution of the anodizing tank 1 for surface treatment. Then, by turning on the motor 11, the camshaft 8 drives the cam 9 to rotate, which pushes the linkage frame 6 to achieve horizontal left and right movement. Since the linkage frame 6 is connected to the swing suspension 4, the swing suspension 4 also moves horizontally left and right, which can drive the hanging rod in its upper limit groove 5 to move horizontally left and right. Since the workpiece is placed on the hanging rod, the workpiece can automatically swing horizontally in the solution of the anodizing tank 1.

[0021] The combination of the wing frame 12, the movable elastic pin 13, the fixed spring pin 14 and the elastic element 15 serves as an automatic reset function when the swing suspension 4 moves left and right relative to the anodizing tank 1.

[0022] The linear guide rail 16, in conjunction with the linear slider 17, serves as a sliding guide for the swing suspension 4 to move left and right relative to the anodizing tank 1.

[0023] The horizontal swing device for anodizing involved in this utility model involves a hanging rod for suspending a workpiece extending horizontally back and forth through the same set of movable grooves and limiting grooves. The diameter of the hanging rod is close to the front and rear extension length of the limiting grooves. Then, a swing suspension that moves horizontally left and right drives the hanging rod to follow the movement, causing the workpiece suspended on the hanging rod to swing left and right in the anodizing tank. No manual pushing is required, making it easy to operate, safe, and with complete overall functions and strong practicality.
