Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a processing apparatus and method thereof, and more particularly to a processing apparatus and method for switching an electrolyte flow direction. [Previous Technology·] [0002] The traditional machining method is to process the workpiece by using the tool for turning, milling, planing, grinding or drilling. However, no matter what method, the following defects are caused: (1) Surface Poor roughness. When the contact processing is carried out by car, milling, planing, grinding or drilling, although the processing speed is faster, the requirement of high surface flatness cannot be achieved. (2) The slight deformation or residual stress of the workpiece is caused by the direct contact of the workpiece, which is easy to cause slight deformation or residual stress of the workpiece due to pressure or heat. (3) It is not possible to process high hardness metals. The contact machining method is fast, but it also causes tool wear. For high-hardness metals, there may even be a situation in which the tool cannot process the workpiece. For the shortcomings of conventional machining, non-contact machining is produced to overcome the above-mentioned processing problems, such as electrochemical machining, so often ® is applied to high-quality surfaces or where it is difficult to machine. Electrochemistry is a science involving the interrelationship between electrons and chemical reactions, and the various properties and behaviors of electrons have only gradually become apparent in the last hundred years. Although electrochemistry is older than other sciences, its development is relatively delayed. However, today, with a high awareness of environmental protection, electrochemistry has become an “emerging” and highly anticipated science. In general, electrochemistry refers to the technique of electrical phenomena related to electricity, and explores the relationship between chemical reactions and charge transfer, and uses the potential of the power source to adjust the surface electron energy of the electrode to make electroactive species (Electroactive 098144097 form number A0101 Page 3 of 23 09; 201121682

工件進行加工之示意圖。一般而言,電化學加工裝置包 含一電極1、一電解液3與一加工治具(圖未示),電極1 與工件5位於加工治具内。此外,一電源單元(圖未示) 之兩極會分別連接於電極1與工件5以提供電源,且電解 液3會經由加工治具之一流入口而流入加工治具,且流經 於電極1與工件5之間,且從加工治具之一流出口流出, 如此即可對工件5進行電化學加工。利用電化學加工方式 對大面積之工件5進行加工時,由於電解液3在電極1及工 件5間流動時,電解液3通過期間之時間愈久,其會因為 參與反應之時間愈久之緣故,而導致距離流入口越遠處 之電解液3,其鈍化愈趨嚴重,即產生之生成物7愈多, 如此會降低對工件5之加工效果。因此,於加工一段時間 後,接近於流入口之工件表面呈加工深度較深之情形, 而接近流出口之工件表面則反之。如此,即導致進行電 化學加工後之工件5的表面會有前後段加工不均均的現象 ,如此影響工件5之精度及品質。 因此,本發明即針對上述問題而提出一種切換電解液 流向之電化學加工裝置及其方法,不僅可改善上述習用 缺點,又可增加電化學加工之加工精度及加工品質,以 098144097 表單編號A0101 第4頁/共23頁 0982075457-0 201121682 解決上述問題。 【發明内容】 [0003] Ο ◎

承接上述,由於加工單元12之第一傳輸口 126與第二 傳輸口 128分別連接於切換單元18之第一接口 A與第二接 口B,且切換單元18之輸入口 P與輸出口 R分別連通於輸入 單元16之輸出口 168與輸入口169。因此,加工單元12、 切換單元18與輸送單元16即串連為一環狀迴路。輸送單 元16經由輸出口 168輸送電解液13至切換單元18之輸入 口 P,再經過第一接口 A與第一導管166而輸送電解液13至 加工單元12之第一傳輸口 126,而流入於加工單元12,以 流經於電極124與工件122之間。之後,電解液13會從加 工單元12之第二傳輸口 128流出,且經過第二導管167與 切換單元18之第二接口 B而流入於切換單元18,以經由切 換單元18之輸出口 R與輸送單元16之輸入口 169,而輸送 電解液13回流至輸送單元16。 當加工單元12進行電化學加工一預定時間後,切換單 元18會切換電解液13於加工單元12内之流向。於此實施 例中,切換單元18會進行換位,而使得切換單元18之輸 入口 P連通於第二接口 B,而切換單元18之輸出口 R連通於 第一接口 A。輸送單元16所輸送之電解液13會經由切換單 元18之輸入口 P與第二接口 B而傳輸至加工單元12之第二 傳輸口 128,以流入於加工單元12,且從加工單元12之第 一傳輸口 126流出,如此即切換電解液13流經於電極124 與工件122之間的流向。從加工單元12之第一傳輸口 126 流出之電解液13,係經由切換單元18之第一接口 A與輸出 098144097 表單編號A0101 第8頁/共23頁 0982075457-0 201121682 口 R而回流至輸送單元16之儲存槽161。 復參閱第二圖,本發明之電化學加工裝置更包含一控 制單元19,其耦接切換單元18而用於控制切換單元18之 一切換時間,即用於控制切換電解液13之流向的時間。 此外,控制單元19更耦接電源單元19,以控制電源單元 14之開啟與關閉。切換單元18切換電解液13流經於電極 124與工件122之間的流向之前,控制單元19會先關閉電 源單元14,以停止供應電源,即停止對工件122進行電化 學加工,如此延遲一時間後,切換單元18再切換電解液 0 13流經於電極124與工件122之間的流向。由於,進行電 化學加工之過程,電解液13會因為較長時間反應而產生 較多生成物129,即電解液13產生鈍化,所以在切換單元 18切換電解液13之流向之前,停止供應電源而停止對工 件122進行電化學加工,以讓電解液13停止反應而不會繼 續產生生成物129,且電解液13會持續流動,而讓生成物 129流出於加工單元12。經過延遲時間後,控制單元19再 控制切換單元18切換電解液13之流向。於完成切換電解 Ο 液13之流向後,控制單元19再延遲一時間,則啟動電源 單元14以提供電源,而接續對工件122進行電化學加工。 本發明藉由上述之延遲時間,可避免鈍化之電解液13影 響電化學加工之加工效率與精工精度。 由上述說明可知,本發明為一種切換電解液流向之電 化學加工裝置,其藉由電源單元14連接於加工單元12之 工件122及電極124,且使電解液13經由輸送單元16輸送 進入加工單元12以進行電化學加工。於電化學加工進行 一預定時間後,切換電解液13流入於加工單元12之流向 098144097 表單編號A0101 第9頁/共23頁 0982075457-0 201121682 ,即切換電解液13流經於電極124與工件122之間的流向 。進行電化學加工之過程反覆切換電解液13之流向,藉

輸送單元16,且控制單元19則如第四圖之時間T1所示, Ο 啟動電源單元14用於供應電源,以對工件122進行電化學 加工。之後,如第五B圖所示,由於工件122進行電化學 加工一定時間後,電解液13則會產生較多生成物129,電 解液13則開始產生鈍化現象,因此本發明在切換電解液 13之流向之前,控制單元19則會如第四圖的T2時間所示 ,關閉電源單元14而停止供應電源,以暫時停止進行電 化學加工,且延遲一適當時間,而讓電解液13於此段延 遲時間經由第二傳輸口 128流出加工單元12,以將生成物 0 129流出於加工單元12。 接著,如第五C圖所示,控制單元19會控制切換單元 18進行切換,以切換電解液13之流向,而讓電解液13經 由第二傳輸口 128流入至加工單元12,且由第一傳輸口 126流出加工單元12而回流至輸送單元16。此時,控制單 元19仍關閉電源單元14。經延遲一適當時間後,如第四 圖之T3時間所示,控制單元19開啟電源單元14以供應電 源,而如第五D圖所示,接續對工件1 2 2進行電化學加工 098144097 表單編號A0101 第10頁/共23頁 0982075457-0 201121682 ο 。如此,即完成切換電解液13之流向的流程,本發明藉 由延遲適當時間,可確保生成物129流出於加工單元12, 而確保新鮮乾淨的電解液13流入於電極124與工件122之 間,以確保對工件122進行電化學加工之銳利度與加工品 質與精度。 然後,如第五Ε圖所示,電解液13進行電化學加工至 一段時間後,則又會產生較多生成物129,該些生成物 129則會使得電解液13鈍化。此時,如第四圖Τ4時間所示 ,切換電解液13之流向之前,控制單元19關閉電源單元 14而停止供應電源,以暫時停止進行電化學加工,而停 止繼續產生生成物129,並藉由電解液13經由第一傳輸口 126繼續流出於加工單元12,而讓生成物129流出於加工 單元12。再來如第五F圖所示,控制單元19控制切換單元 18切換電解液13之流向,而經由第一傳輸口 126輸送電解 液13流入於加工單元12,且由第二傳輸口 128流出於加工 單元12而回流至輸送單元16。此時,電源蕈元19仍為關 閉狀態,待延遲一時間後,如第四圖Τ5時間所示,控制 ❹

Based on the above principles, the development of electric chemical machining, which is different from the traditional processing method, is a non-contact processing, which is used to process extremely hard materials or materials that are difficult to process by conventional processing methods or Processing objects, electrochemical processing methods are also known as electrolytic processing. However, the use of electrochemical machining still has some disadvantages, which are described in detail below. Please refer to the first figure, which is a schematic diagram of the processing of large-area workpieces by conventional electrochemical machining. Generally, the electrochemical processing apparatus includes an electrode 1, an electrolyte 3, and a processing jig (not shown), and the electrode 1 and the workpiece 5 are located in the processing jig. In addition, two poles of a power supply unit (not shown) are respectively connected to the electrode 1 and the workpiece 5 to provide power, and the electrolyte 3 flows into the processing fixture through one of the inlets of the processing fixture, and flows through the electrode 1 and The workpiece 5 is electrochemically processed between the workpieces 5 and out of the outlet of one of the processing jigs. When the large-area workpiece 5 is processed by the electrochemical machining method, since the electrolyte 3 flows between the electrode 1 and the workpiece 5, the longer the period of the electrolyte 3 is passed, the longer it takes to participate in the reaction, The electrolyte 3 which is farther away from the inlet is more severely deactivated, that is, the more the product 7 is produced, which reduces the processing effect on the workpiece 5. Therefore, after a period of processing, the surface of the workpiece close to the inflow opening is deep in processing depth, and the surface of the workpiece close to the outflow opening is reversed. As a result, the surface of the workpiece 5 after the electrochemical processing is unevenly processed in the front and rear stages, which affects the accuracy and quality of the workpiece 5. Therefore, the present invention has been directed to an electrochemical processing apparatus and method for switching the flow direction of an electrolyte, which not only improves the above-mentioned conventional disadvantages, but also increases the processing precision and processing quality of electrochemical machining, with 098144097 Form No. A0101 4 pages/total 23 pages 0982075457-0 201121682 To solve the above problem. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an electrochemical processing apparatus for switching the flow of an electrolyte and a method thereof, which avoids electrolysis by switching the flow of electrolyte through the electrode and the workpiece. The passivation of the liquid affects the precision of the electrochemical machining to achieve the purpose of increasing the processing precision of the electrochemical and the quality of the workpiece. The invention relates to an electrochemical processing device for switching electrolyte flow and a method thereof for processing a workpiece, and a packaging unit, a processing unit, a power supply unit, a conveying unit and a switching unit, and an electrode is disposed in the processing unit. An electrolyte flows between the electrode and the workpiece, and the workpiece and the electrode of the processing unit are respectively connected to the two poles of the power unit, the conveying unit transports the electrolyte to the processing unit, and the switching unit is connected between the conveying unit and the processing unit, In order to increase the accuracy of electrochemical processing and the surface quality of the workpiece, the flow direction of the electrolyte flowing between the electrode and the workpiece is switched. Further, the present invention further includes a control unit connected to the switching unit for controlling a switching time at which the switching unit switches the flow direction of the electrolyte. The control unit further activates or deactivates the power supply unit. Before the switching unit switches the electrode liquid to flow between the electrode and the workpiece, the control unit turns off the power supply unit, and after a delay, the switching unit switches the flow direction of the electrode liquid, and the switching unit switches the electrode liquid. After the flow, the control unit delays the power supply unit after a delay. In this way, it is ensured that the passivated electrolyte flows out of the processing unit, and then the flow direction of the electrolyte is switched, and the unpassivated electrolyte is flowed to the processing unit to improve the processing quality of the workpiece.

As shown, the present invention switches the electrochemical processing device to the processing unit 12, a processing unit 12, a power supply unit 14, a delivery unit 16, and a switching unit 18. The processing unit 12 has an electrode 124, a first transmission port 126 and a second transmission port 128, and the workpiece 122 to be processed is placed in the processing unit 12, and the first transmission port 126 and the second transmission port 128 are used. An electrolyte 13 is transferred to the processing unit 12, and the electrolyte 13 is allowed to flow between the electrode 124 and the workpiece 122. The electrolyte 13 flows into or out of the processing unit 12 via the first transfer port 126 or the second transfer port 128. The two poles of the power unit 14 are respectively coupled to the workpiece 122 and the electrode 124 to supply power. As shown, the power supply unit 24 has positive and negative poles, the positive pole of which is coupled to the workpiece 122 and the negative pole coupled to the electrode 124. Referring back to the second drawing, the transport unit 16 is used to transport the electrolyte 13 to the processing unit 12, and the electrolyte 13 is allowed to flow between the workpiece 122 and the electrode 124 to electrochemically process the workpiece 122. The switching unit 18 is connected between the transport unit 16 and the processing unit 12 for switching the flow of the electrolyte 13 into the processing unit 12. After the electrolyte 13 is initially output from the delivery unit 16, the electrolyte 13 flows from the first transfer port 126 to the processing unit 12 via the switching unit 18, and flows out of the second transfer port 128 of the processing unit 12, and via the second transfer.

The preferred embodiment of the switching unit 18 of the present invention is a flow direction switching valve, which is, for example, an electromagnetic valve. The present invention changes the flow direction of the electrolyte 13 flowing into the processing unit 12 by switching, so that the purified electrolyte %13 contains a large amount of product 129 acting on a specific region of the workpiece 122, for example, close to the first transfer port 126 or The surface of the X piece of the second transfer port 128 can improve the processing accuracy and processing quality of the workpiece 122 of the large area by electrochemical machining, and improve the processing precision of the electrochemical process. Referring to the second figure, the conveying unit 16 of the present invention further comprises a crucible 161, a passing unit 163 and a motor anode 13 are stored in the storage tank 161. The storage tank 161 is connected to the excess element ld3 and used for The electrolyte 13 is used to electrolyze the 129 core of the electrolysis amount f, and is transferred to the processing by the woman's single training with the 165 (4), and flows between the electrode 124 and the workpiece 122 to work early.

The input port of the switching unit:8 is connected to the output port (10) of the input unit 16, and the output port R of the 8 unit 18 is connected to one of the input ports (10) of the switching unit 18. The first end of the early replacement unit 18 is connected to the π Α connection of the transmission unit 16 - the first; the other end of the end 帛 144144097 is connected to the processing order form number A0101 page 7 / 23 pages Ai id 0098075457-0 201121682 A transmission port 126. The second interface B of the switching unit 18 is connected to one end of the second duct 167 of the transmission unit 16, and the other end of the second duct 167 is connected to the second transmission port 128 of the processing unit 12. In the above, the first transmission port 126 and the second transmission port 128 of the processing unit 12 are respectively connected to the first interface A and the second interface B of the switching unit 18, and the input port P of the switching unit 18 and the output port R are respectively connected. The output port 168 of the input unit 16 and the input port 169. Therefore, the processing unit 12, the switching unit 18 and the transport unit 16 are connected in series as an annular loop. The conveying unit 16 conveys the electrolyte 13 to the input port P of the switching unit 18 via the output port 168, and then transports the electrolyte 13 to the first transmission port 126 of the processing unit 12 through the first interface A and the first conduit 166, and flows into the The processing unit 12 flows between the electrode 124 and the workpiece 122. Thereafter, the electrolyte 13 flows out of the second transfer port 128 of the processing unit 12, and flows into the switching unit 18 through the second interface 167 and the second interface B of the switching unit 18 to pass through the output port R of the switching unit 18. The input port 169 of the transport unit 16 transports the electrolyte 13 back to the transport unit 16.

Referring to the second figure, the electrochemical processing apparatus of the present invention further includes a control unit 19 coupled to the switching unit 18 for controlling the switching time of one of the switching units 18, that is, the time for controlling the flow of the switching electrolyte 13. . In addition, the control unit 19 is further coupled to the power supply unit 19 to control the opening and closing of the power supply unit 14. Before the switching unit 18 switches the flow of the electrolyte 13 between the electrode 124 and the workpiece 122, the control unit 19 first turns off the power supply unit 14 to stop the supply of power, that is, to stop the electrochemical processing of the workpiece 122, thus delaying for a time. Thereafter, the switching unit 18 switches the flow direction of the electrolyte 133 between the electrode 124 and the workpiece 122. Since the electrolyte 13 undergoes a process of electrochemical processing, the electrolyte 13 generates a large amount of product 129 due to a long time reaction, that is, the electrolyte 13 is passivated, so that the power supply is stopped before the switching unit 18 switches the flow of the electrolyte 13. The electrochemical processing of the workpiece 122 is stopped to stop the reaction of the electrolyte 13 without continuing to generate the product 129, and the electrolyte 13 continues to flow, and the product 129 flows out of the processing unit 12. After the delay time, the control unit 19 then controls the switching unit 18 to switch the flow direction of the electrolyte 13. After the switching of the flow of the electrolytic liquid 13 is completed, the control unit 19 is further delayed for a time, the power supply unit 14 is activated to supply power, and the workpiece 122 is subsequently electrochemically processed. The present invention can prevent the passivating electrolyte 13 from affecting the processing efficiency and precision of electrochemical machining by the above-mentioned delay time. As can be seen from the above description, the present invention is an electrochemical processing apparatus for switching the flow of an electrolyte, which is connected to the workpiece 122 and the electrode 124 of the processing unit 12 by the power supply unit 14, and transports the electrolyte 13 into the processing unit via the conveying unit 16. 12 for electrochemical processing. After the electrochemical processing is performed for a predetermined period of time, the flow of the electrolyte 13 into the processing unit 12 is switched to 098144097. Form No. A0101, page 9 / 23 pages 0982075457-0 201121682, that is, the switching electrolyte 13 flows through the electrode 124 and the workpiece 122. The flow between the two. The electrochemical processing process repeatedly switches the flow direction of the electrolyte 13, thereby improving the processing quality and processing uniformity of the electrochemical processing, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the processing precision and quality of the electrochemical processing. Referring to Fig. 4 and Figs. 5A to 5G together, a timing chart of a preferred embodiment of the control unit for controlling the power supply unit of the present invention and a schematic diagram of a process of switching the flow of the electrolyte are shown. As shown in FIG. 5A, when electrochemical processing is initially started, the electrolyte 13 flows into the processing unit 12 via the first transfer port 126, flows out of the processing unit 12 from the second transfer port 128, and flows back to the transfer unit 16, and is controlled. The unit 19 is shown as time T1 of the fourth figure, and the power supply unit 14 is activated for supplying power to electrochemically process the workpiece 122. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5B, since the workpiece 122 is electrochemically processed for a certain period of time, the electrolyte 13 generates a large amount of the product 129, and the electrolyte 13 starts to generate a passivation phenomenon, so the present invention switches the electrolyte 13 Before the flow, the control unit 19 turns off the power supply unit 14 and stops supplying power as shown in the T2 time of the fourth figure to temporarily stop the electrochemical processing, and delays the appropriate time to allow the electrolyte 13 to be in this section. The delay time flows out of the processing unit 12 via the second transfer port 128 to flow the product 0 129 out of the processing unit 12. Next, as shown in FIG. 5C, the control unit 19 controls the switching unit 18 to switch to switch the flow direction of the electrolyte 13, and allows the electrolyte 13 to flow into the processing unit 12 via the second transfer port 128, and is first The transfer port 126 flows out of the processing unit 12 and flows back to the transfer unit 16. At this time, the control unit 19 still turns off the power supply unit 14. After a suitable time delay, as shown in time T3 of the fourth figure, the control unit 19 turns on the power supply unit 14 to supply power, and as shown in FIG. 5D, performs electrochemical processing on the workpiece 1 2 2 098144097 A0101 Page 10 of 23 page 0982075457-0 201121682 ο . Thus, the flow of switching the flow direction of the electrolyte 13 is completed, and the present invention ensures that the product 129 flows out of the processing unit 12 by delaying the appropriate time, and ensures that the fresh and clean electrolyte 13 flows between the electrode 124 and the workpiece 122. To ensure the sharpness and processing quality and precision of the electrochemical processing of the workpiece 122. Then, as shown in the fifth diagram, after the electrolytic solution 13 is electrochemically processed for a while, a larger amount of product 129 is generated, and the resultant 129 causes the electrolyte 13 to be passivated. At this time, as shown in the fourth FIG. 4, before the flow of the electrolyte 13 is switched, the control unit 19 turns off the power supply unit 14 and stops supplying power to temporarily stop the electrochemical processing, and stops the generation of the product 129, and borrows. The electrolyte 13 continues to flow out of the processing unit 12 via the first transfer port 126, and the product 129 flows out of the processing unit 12. Further, as shown in FIG. F, the control unit 19 controls the switching unit 18 to switch the flow direction of the electrolyte 13 while the electrolyte 13 is delivered to the processing unit 12 via the first transfer port 126, and flows out of the second transfer port 128. The processing unit 12 is returned to the transport unit 16. At this time, the power supply unit 19 is still in the off state. After a delay, as shown in the fourth figure Τ5, the control unit 19 turns on the power supply unit 14 to supply power, and as shown in the fifth G diagram, the connection is continued. The workpiece 122 is electrochemically processed. In the above, the fifth G diagram is the same as the fifth diagram, which represents the reincarnation to the initial machining operation, and continues the processing flow previously described. The electrochemical processing method for switching the flow direction of the electrolyte of the present invention, that is, the processing flow as described above, is repeated. Thus, the present invention can prevent the passivated electrolyte 13 from acting on a specific region of the workpiece 122 for a long time, so that the processed surface of the workpiece 122 near the first transfer port 126 and the second transfer port 128 will contact the fresh electrolyte 13 Can lift a large area of workpiece 122 to 098144097 Form No. A0101 Page 11 / Total 23 page 0982075457-0 201121682 Uniformity of electrochemical machining and surface quality. As can be seen from the above description, the present invention can prevent the electrolyte material 13 from being subjected to electrochemical processing for a longer period of time, and the more products 129 are generated therein, resulting in poor processing surface quality of the workpiece 122 subjected to electrochemical processing, and processing uniformity.
