Abstract
Description
上記表面処理装置は、被処理物の外周面に有する環状被処理領域に沿った電解液通路を形成して、その電解液通路に沿って電解液を通流させながら、例えば陽極酸化処理などの表面処理を環状被処理領域に対して効率良く行うことができる。
従来の上記表面処理装置では、枠部材を導電性の材料で形成して、この枠部材で、被処理物の外周面及び環状被処理領域(周溝)に対して間隔を隔てて対向する環状の内周面を有する陰電極部材を構成してある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 The conventional surface treatment apparatus is, for example, a positive electrode member that is electrically connected to a metal workpiece having a circumferential groove as an annular treatment region on the outer circumferential surface, and the outer circumferential surface and the circumferential groove. Electrolysis along the circumferential groove is performed by sealing a gap between the inner circumferential surface and a frame member having inner circumferential surfaces facing each other with a gap therebetween, and both sides of the outer circumferential surface sandwiching the circumferential groove. A non-conductive elastic sealing material capable of forming a liquid passage, a negative electrode member provided in the electrolyte passage, and an electrolyte flow means for flowing the electrolyte along the electrolyte passage. Yes.
The surface treatment apparatus forms an electrolyte passage along the annular treatment area on the outer peripheral surface of the object to be treated, and allows the electrolyte solution to flow along the electrolyte passage while, for example, anodizing. The surface treatment can be efficiently performed on the annular processing region.
In the conventional surface treatment apparatus, the frame member is formed of a conductive material, and the frame member is annularly opposed to the outer peripheral surface of the object to be processed and the annular treatment region (circumferential groove) with a space therebetween. The negative electrode member which has the inner peripheral surface of is comprised (for example, refer patent document 1).
従来の表面処理装置は、環状の内周面を有する陰電極部材を設けてあるために、析出金属が陰電極部材の内周面に全周に亘って均一に付着堆積し易く、堆積した析出金属によって電解液通路の通路断面積が狭められると電解液の円滑な通流が妨げられる。
尚、枠部材が、被処理物の外周面及び環状被処理領域に対して間隔を隔てて対向する環状の内周面を有する陽電極部材を構成している場合は、電解液に溶解している陰イオン化し易い塩化物や硫化物などの非金属成分が陽電極部材の表面に析出して、同様の現象が生じる。
電解液の温度は、電極反応で発生する熱により環状被処理領域の表面近傍で高くなり、電解液の円滑な通流が妨げられると、電解液の温度が上昇し易い。
電解液の温度が上昇すると、例えばアルマイト被膜などの被膜を環状被処理領域に形成する表面処理において皮膜ヤケが生じ易くなる。すなわち、陽極酸化処理時に電流分布が不均一になり、或いは電流密度が過大になること等によって生じた、焼けたような外観を呈し易くなり、表面処理を高い電圧で能率良く繰り返し行うことができないおそれがある。
本発明は上記実情に鑑みてなされたものであって、表面処理を高い電圧で能率良く繰り返し行うことができる表面処理装置を提供することを目的とする。 In the above surface treatment apparatus, due to energization between the positive electrode member and the negative electrode member at the time of the surface treatment, metal components such as copper which is easily cationized dissolved in the electrolytic solution are deposited on the surface of the negative electrode member. Easy to deposit.
Since the conventional surface treatment apparatus is provided with a negative electrode member having an annular inner peripheral surface, the deposited metal tends to adhere and deposit uniformly on the inner peripheral surface of the negative electrode member over the entire circumference, and the deposited precipitation When the passage cross-sectional area of the electrolyte passage is narrowed by the metal, the smooth flow of the electrolyte is hindered.
In addition, when the frame member constitutes a positive electrode member having an annular inner peripheral surface that is opposed to the outer peripheral surface of the object to be processed and the annular processing region with a gap, the frame member is dissolved in the electrolytic solution. The same phenomenon occurs when non-metallic components such as chlorides and sulfides that are easily anionized are deposited on the surface of the positive electrode member.
The temperature of the electrolytic solution is increased in the vicinity of the surface of the annular treatment region due to heat generated by the electrode reaction, and when the smooth flow of the electrolytic solution is hindered, the temperature of the electrolytic solution is likely to increase.
When the temperature of the electrolytic solution rises, for example, a coating burn is likely to occur in the surface treatment in which a coating such as an alumite coating is formed in the annular processing region. In other words, the current distribution becomes uneven during anodizing treatment, or a burnt appearance caused by excessive current density is likely to be exhibited, and the surface treatment cannot be efficiently and repeatedly performed at a high voltage. There is a fear.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a surface treatment apparatus capable of efficiently and repeatedly performing surface treatment at a high voltage.
また、棒状の陽電極部材及び陰電極部材の他方を突設してあるので、陽電極部材及び陰電極部材の他方の表面積を従来に比べて小さくして、金属成分や非金属成分などの析出成分の陽電極部材及び陰電極部材の他方に対する付着面積を小さくすることができ、析出成分の陽電極部材及び陰電極部材の他方に対する付着強度を弱めることができる。
そして、棒状の陽電極部材及び陰電極部材の他方を先端部が電解液通路の中に入り込むように被処理物の側に向けて突設してあるので、棒状の陽電極部材及び陰電極部材の他方に堆積した付着強度が弱い析出成分を、電解液通路に沿って通流する電解液の勢いで押し流して棒状の陽電極部材及び陰電極部材の他方から取り除き易くなり、棒状の陽電極部材及び陰電極部材の他方に堆積した析出成分が大きく成長し難い。
したがって、電解液通路における電解液の円滑な通流を長期に亘って確保して、環状被処理領域の表面近傍における温度上昇を長期に亘って抑制することができる。
よって、本構成の表面処理装置であれば、表面処理を高い電圧で能率良く繰り返し行うことができる。 In this configuration, the frame member has a non-conductive inner peripheral surface that is opposed to the outer peripheral surface of the object to be processed and the annular processing region with a space therebetween. Nonmetallic components do not precipitate on the inner peripheral surface of the frame member.
In addition, since the other of the rod-shaped positive electrode member and negative electrode member is protruded, the surface area of the other of the positive electrode member and negative electrode member is made smaller than before, so that metal components and non-metal components are deposited. The adhesion area of the component to the other of the positive electrode member and the negative electrode member can be reduced, and the adhesion strength of the deposited component to the other of the positive electrode member and the negative electrode member can be weakened.
Since the other of the rod-shaped positive electrode member and the negative electrode member protrudes toward the object to be processed so that the tip portion enters the electrolyte passage, the rod-shaped positive electrode member and the negative electrode member The deposited component having a weak adhesion strength deposited on the other side of the electrode is easily removed from the other of the rod-shaped positive electrode member and the negative electrode member by the force of the electrolyte flowing along the electrolyte passage. And the deposited component deposited on the other of the negative electrode members is difficult to grow greatly.
Therefore, a smooth flow of the electrolytic solution in the electrolytic solution passage can be ensured over a long period of time, and a temperature increase in the vicinity of the surface of the annular processing region can be suppressed over a long period of time.
Therefore, with the surface treatment apparatus of this configuration, the surface treatment can be efficiently and repeatedly performed at a high voltage.
