Definitions
- the invention relates to a suction cup for electrolytic treatment of a surface and can be used in general for all treatments which involve the circulation of an electrolyte current between the surface and an electrode at a different potential. from that of the surface and at a short distance, such as electropolishing, electrodecontamination, electrodepalting, electrodeposition or anodic treatment.
- suction cups already known which essentially comprise a generally electrically insulating carcass and a seal with a closed contour pressed against the surface.
- the carcass is hollow and its cavity contains two chambers which are delimited by the electrode.
- the electrolyte circulates in the rear intake chamber then passes through the electrode through the holes made in it, passes into the front chamber where it is brought into contact with the surface to be treated, which constitutes a wall of this front chamber , and is then sucked by a pipe which crosses the carcass.
- the flow is generally perpendicular to the surface in the rear intake chamber and the front chamber.
- the object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks by means of an electrolytic treatment suction cup whose geometrical conformation makes it possible to obtain a uniform flow in the circulation chamber.
- the new electrolytic treatment suction cup comprises a generally electrically insulating carcass, partially delimiting an electrolyte cavity, the carcass being provided with an electrode installed in the cavity, with two electrolyte pipe connections opening out in front of two ends of the cavity, an elastic joint with a closed contour partially delimiting the cavity and intended to be pressed against the surface, the electrode then coming in front of the surface at a uniform distance from the latter and separating the cavity into an electrolyte circulation chamber located between the electrode and the surface, an electrolyte intake chamber located between the circulation chamber and one of the connections and an electrolyte suction chamber located between the circulation chamber and the other connection, the suction cup being characterized in that the electrode is continuous and the intake and suction chambers are formed cha cune of a circulation equalization chamber communicating with the circulation chamber by a respective slot, the slots being located on two opposite sides of the circulation chamber, the distribution chambers comprising a part adjacent to the slot where the electrolyte flows against the current with respect to its flow in the circulation chamber, as well as
- the distribution chambers may be made for the distribution chambers to shrink towards the circulation equalization chambers in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extension of the slots, than the equalization chambers circulation widens towards the distribution chambers in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the slots, that they comprise a part adjacent to the distribution chambers where the electrolyte flows in the same direction as in the circulation chamber, or still that the circulation chambers are composed of a recess adjacent to the distribution chambers and of a complementary part extending between the distribution chambers and the slots.
- the parts of the suction cup and in particular the electrode can be flat or arcuate according to the curvature of the surface to be treated.
- the suction cup consists of a carcass 1 of an electrically insulating material, such as plastic, and which is crossed by an electrode 2 which ends in an electrode plate 3 which is flat and continuous.
- the electrode 2 opens out of the carcass 1 opposite the surface S to be treated by a cable 4 supplied with direct current by a generator and a rectifier not shown.
- the carcass 1 is further provided with sockets for gripping the suction cup and its pressing on the surface S, here of opposite appendages 5, and of a closed contour seal 6 of elastic material which is applied to the surface S to define a sealed volume.
- the seal 6 advantageously comprises an inflatable air chamber 7 in its part adjacent to the surface S.
- the carcass 1 is hollow and defines with the seal 6 and the surface S a sealed electrolyte circulation cavity when the suction cup is in the working position.
- the electrode plate 3 extends inside the cavity and delimits there an electrolyte circulation chamber 8 with the surface S.
- the rest of the cavity forms an intake chamber 9a and a suction chamber 9b of the electrolyte, similar and symmetrical chambers, as well as the rest of the suction cup, relative to a plane P per pendulum to the surface S and to the plane of Figure 1.
- Each of these chambers can be broken down into a distribution chamber 10 and a circulation equalization chamber 11.
- the distribution chamber 10 extends between a connection 12 intended for a flexible hose 13 for admission or aspiration of the electrolyte and the circulation equalization chamber 11.
- C denotes the direction of circulation of the electrolyte in the circulation chamber 8
- the distribution chamber 10 has a variable rectangular section whose dimension r1 in a direction parallel to the direction of circulation C decreases progressively from the connection 12 to the circulation equalization chamber 11 while its orthogonal dimension r2 (figure 2) increases on the contrary in the same direction.
- This arrangement allows a distribution in the best conditions of the electrolyte from the flexible pipe 13 with circular section and in a direction perpendicular to the surface S towards the circulation equalization chamber 11 where the flow is generally parallel to the surface S and whose section is a very elongated rectangle.
- This circulation equalization chamber 11 extends between the distribution chamber 10 and the circulation chamber 8.
- its shape is quite complicated and a zone 14 adjacent to the circulation chamber 8 can be distinguished.
- the flow of the electrolyte takes place parallel to the direction of circulation C, but against the current in zone 14 and in the same direction in the other zone 15.
- This arrangement is obtained by a baffle plate 16 parallel to the plate 3 of the electrode 2 and which cuts almost entirely the circulation equalization chamber 11.
- the zones 14 and 15 communicate by an elongated slot 17 close to the median plane P while the circulation equalization chamber 11 and the circulation chamber 8 communicate by another slot 18 delimited by the plate 3 and the seal 6.
- the zone 14 adjacent to the circulation chamber 8 has a uniform section while the other zone 15 has a section which widens appreciably (as regards the thickness r3 perpendicular to r2) near the connection with the distribution chamber 10 at the location of an oblique surface 19.
- Figure 6 more fully shows the embodiment and shows in particular that the seal 7 is here rectangular in outline; the slots 17 and 18 are mutually parallel and extend perpendicular to the direction of circulation C, parallel to the dimension r2 of the distribution chambers 10, up to the edges of the joint 6.
- an electrolyte circulation is created, advantageously under vacuum, at about half an atmosphere, in order to limit the leaks in hydraulic circuit failure.
- Overpressure or equipressure circulation is possible.
- Technopal brand hoses or all hoses of similar characteristics can be favorably used for this pressure value.
- the intake and suction chambers 9a and 9b as described guarantee a gradual passage between the flow conditions in the pipes 13 and those in the circulation chamber 8, so that the flow speed is uniform in this the latter as well along the direction defined by the direction of circulation C as in the perpendicular direction thanks in particular to the enlargement of the distribution chambers 10 along the dimension r2.
- the renewal of the electrolyte over the entire portion of the surface S treated and circumscribed by the seal 6 is therefore guaranteed, which makes it possible to apply significantly higher current densities without risking damaging the surface S by modifying the composition. chemical of the electrolyte in places where the renewal would be insufficient. Uniform treatment is also ensured.
- FIG. 3 shows that the suction cup, the essential parts of which were flat in FIGS. 1 and 2, can be provided for surfaces S ′ of uniform curvature.
- the electrode 2 ′ then has an arcuate plate 3 ′ with a consequent radius of curvature; the baffle plates 16 ′ and the walls of the circulation equalization chambers are also arched accordingly, as well as the joint.
- FIG. 3 also shows that the suction cups can be correctly pressed onto the surface S or S ′ by an apparatus - described in more detail in French patent 2 607 421 - formed by a longitudinal frame 27 carrying two jacks 28, the rod of each of which grips one of the appendages 5 and the plate on the surface.
- the frame 27 also carries four tabs 29 at the front, rear, left and right of the suction cup which carry, by a pad 30, on the surface S or S ′.
- a handle M of which only the end is shown then makes it possible to move the device. Plating can be ensured by any equivalent system and in particular by a remote operator arm.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show that it is possible without inconvenience to build suction cups according to the invention in the form of possibly very elongated rectangles.
- FIG. 4 represents a suction cup which can be used in particular for the treatment of a strip or a metal tube 31 in continuous movement in a direction A perpendicular to the direction of circulation of the electrolyte C; the suction cup is very little extended in direction A, which is admissible since high current densities, causing rapid machining, can be applied without disadvantage.
- suction cups the width of which is, on the contrary, substantially greater than the length, as shown in FIG. 5, thanks to the capacities for uniformity of flow of the distribution chambers 10.
