Generally, when electroplating is applied to the inner surface of a square tube, the plating is insufficient, especially at the corners of the square tube.
There is a problem in that it is extremely difficult to apply plating with a uniform thickness over the entire inner surface of the square tube. This problem can be solved by plating the flat plates and then assembling them into square tubes, but on the other hand, the process of assembling each flat plate becomes complicated. Moreover, according to such a method, electrolytic plating on a flat surface is generally
Since the plating thickness at the end of the plated surface is larger than at other parts, it was necessary to precisely machine and modify the end before assembling it into a square tube. Also,
When plating is applied to each side as described above, it is necessary to mask off the parts that do not need plating, and if the surface area of the parts that do not need plating is large or the shape is complex, the masking work becomes extremely complicated. It takes
Furthermore, if there is a defective area in the masking, contaminants in areas where no plating is required will be eluted, causing deterioration of the plating solution, and at the same time, the plating liquid may enter through the defective masking area and damage the area where no plating solution is required. It may cause harmful effects.

The present inventor has conducted extensive research in order to eliminate the various drawbacks mentioned above. In the process, in order to avoid the trouble of having to assemble each side of the square tube, the inventor immersed the square tube assembled in advance in a plating solution, and installed a square cylindrical anode inside the square tube. An attempt was made to contain it and apply electrolytic plating. However, like the conventional method, this method requires masking of the outer surface of the rectangular tube, which is a part that does not require plating, and even with the use of the above-mentioned rectangular cylindrical anode, the plating obtained is limited to the corners of the rectangular tube. It has the disadvantage of being insufficient in terms of In subsequent research, the present inventor attempted to hold the plating liquid within the square tube and use the square tube itself as a cathode. According to this method, it is no longer necessary to mask the outer surface of the square tube, which is a portion that does not require plating, but there are still problems with the resulting plating. That is, even if an anode having a simple square tube shape is used as described above, the plating applied to the corner portions of the inner surface of the square tube is insufficient, and as a result, the inner surface of the square tube has a continuous, uniform thickness. It was not possible to apply a tight coating. As a result of further research on the anode, the inventor of the present invention has provided a protrusion at each corner of the above-mentioned rectangular cylindrical anode, and has found that the protrusion can be electrically insulated from other parts and connected to a separate power source. It was discovered that by doing so, even the corner portions of the inner surface of a square tube can be well plated, and the present invention was completed.

That is, the present invention has a rectangular cylinder shape, and each corner thereof is provided with a protrusion that protrudes from the upper end to the lower end, and the protrusion is electrically insulated from the other parts. The present invention relates to an anode for plating the inner surface of a square tube, which is characterized in that it can be connected to a power supply separate from the other parts.

The anode of the present invention has a square tube containing a plating solution.
The anode protrusion is housed in a state close to the corner of the inner surface of the rectangular tube for use. As a result, the distance between the anode and the corner of the inner surface of the square tube can be reduced, and the protrusion can be connected to a separate power source, so that the current density at the corner can be increased. , the plating thickness at the corners can be made sufficient, and as a result,
It is possible to apply continuous tightening with a uniform thickness over the entire inner surface of the square tube.

Basically, as shown in FIG. 1 of the attached drawings, the protrusions in the anode of the present invention are formed by bending the side portions other than the protrusions (hereinafter simply referred to as "side surfaces") outward at each corner, and As shown in FIG. 6, a flat anode member is inserted into the star-shaped protrusion from between the abutting portions of the protrusion. Mention may also be made of a type of anode provided in a protruding manner. As a result, the distance between the tip of the protruding part and the corner part of the inner surface of the square tube can be made the closest, and therefore the current density at the corner part can be increased, even if the radius of curvature of the corner part is small. It is possible to apply sufficient plating to the surface. The above-mentioned flat anode member can also be fixed so as to be movable back and forth in the diagonal direction, so that the distance between the corner of the square tube and the tip of the protrusion can be adjusted depending on the type of plating liquid,
It can be freely changed depending on the composition, plating conditions, size of the square tube, etc.

In addition to the above, in the anode of the present invention, the protrusion and the side surface are electrically insulated, and the protrusion is connected to a separate power source so that a higher current can be passed through the anode than the side surface. In order to make the protruding part connectable to a separate power source in this way, for example, a flat anode member that protrudes from between the abutting parts of each side surface and can be fixed in a movable manner, as described above, is electrically connected to each side surface. It may be provided insulated.

The material for the anode of the present invention may be either insoluble or eluting with respect to the plating solution. As insoluble materials, conventionally known materials can be widely used, such as lead alloys for chrome plating and conductive substances.
Examples include those made of a single metal such as Fe, Cu, Sn, Pb, Ni, Ti, or an alloy of two or more of these metals, and coated with Pt, Rh, etc., which have excellent chemical resistance and conductivity. can. Particularly preferred is one made of Ti and whose surface is coated with Pt. or,
Elutable materials include metals themselves that are melted by electrolysis, or metals coated on materials such as iron. Examples of such metals include Cu, Ni,
Examples include Cd, Zn, Sn, Pb, Au, Ag, and alloys of two or more of these. However, when using leachable materials, the bath is dyed by the falling of dissolved residue and finely granulated electrode material from the anode, so it must be covered with a cloth bag called an anode bag. . Moreover, in this case, because of the anode bag, it is not possible to bring the protrusion and the corner of the inner surface of the square tube close to each other by more than a certain distance, so depending on the degree of curvature of the corner of the inner surface of the square tube, the thickness may not be sufficient. Sanometsuki may be difficult to perform. Therefore, it is preferred that the entire anode be constructed from an insoluble material. However, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an anode is provided in which only each protrusion is comprised of an insoluble material. In this case, it is preferable that the flat anode member, which protrudes from between the abutting portions of each side surface as described above and can be fixed in a movable manner, be made of an insoluble material. This preferred embodiment is particularly advantageous in cases where the preparation of insoluble anode materials is difficult or expensive. Furthermore, since the protrusion is made of an insoluble material, it is not necessary to use an anode bag at least at the tip of the protrusion, and therefore the tip of the protrusion can be brought close to the corner of the inner surface of the square tube to a desired distance. .

Since the anode of the present invention is used by being housed in a rectangular tube holding a plating solution, the distance between the side surface of the anode and the inner surface of the rectangular tube and the distance between the anode side surface and the inner surface of the rectangular tube are determined depending on the size of the rectangular tube, plating conditions, etc. It is manufactured by appropriately determining the distance between the tip of the protrusion and the corner of the inner surface of the square tube. However, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side surfaces of the anode have a partially overlapping structure, and the anode as a whole can be expanded and contracted depending on the degree of overlapping of the overlapping structure portions of each side surface. Thereby, the size of the anode can be freely adjusted depending on the size of the square tube to be plated. In addition, by using this embodiment together with the flat anode member that protrudes from between the abutting portions of each side surface and can be fixed in a movable manner, the distance between the side surface of the anode and the inner surface of the rectangular tube can be more freely adjusted. can be adjusted, and the trouble of producing a large number of anodes depending on the size of the square tube to be plated can be eliminated.

When using the anode of the present invention, the plating solution can be continuously passed through and circulated as conventionally practiced for temperature equalization. Through this circulation, the plating solution is internally circulated inside and outside of the prismatic cylindrical anode having the protrusion of the present invention. in this case,
By forming a large number of holes in the side surface of the anode or the protrusion, or by constructing the anode with a wire mesh, even better internal circulation of the plating solution can be achieved.

Further, if the size of the rectangular tube to hold the plating solution is small and the yield thereof is therefore small, the composition of the plating solution may change as the plating time passes. In such a case, the above-mentioned compositional fluctuation can be prevented by circulating the plating solution from an external storage tank. This circulation is preferably carried out through the continuous filtration device for the plating solution and at an appropriate flow rate while keeping the liquid level in the square tube constant.
Further, the plating solution can be adjusted in the external storage tank, but if the external storage tank is made large compared to the capacity of the square tube, this adjustment becomes almost unnecessary. The external storage tank may be a new one, or an existing plating tank may be used. Of course, even when the capacity of the rectangular tube to hold the plating liquid is large, the plating liquid can be circulated from the outside as described above.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view schematically showing a rectangular cylindrical anode provided with a star-shaped protrusion according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the anode shown in FIG. 1. In this anode, both the protrusion 1 and the side surface 2 are made of the same material, preferably an insoluble material. In use, the tip of the protruding portion 1 of this anode is accommodated and fixed within the square tube in close proximity to the corner of the square tube to be plated. A large number of through holes 3 are provided on the side surface 2 of the anode to promote internal circulation of the plating solution inside and outside the anode. The through hole 3 can also be provided on the side surface of the protrusion 1. When the capacity of the square tube to hold the plating liquid is small, the plating liquid is circulated from the outside as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the state in which the anode of the present invention is used. An upper jig 7 and a bottom jig 8 are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the square tube 4 via packings 5 and 6, respectively, to form a type of plating tank. The anode 11 of the present invention is accommodated and installed in this plating tank by a support member 23. The upper jig 7 and the bottom jig 8 are provided with plating liquid circulation piping 9.
and 10 are provided, respectively, which are connected to an external plating liquid reservoir (not shown) via a continuous filtration device (not shown). By circulating the plating liquid from the outside in this manner, internal circulation of the plating liquid inside and outside the anode 11 is promoted, and compositional fluctuations of the plating liquid over time are prevented.

Moreover, FIG. 4 is a partial plan view showing one embodiment of the side surface of the anode of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a front view thereof. In FIG. 4, the side surface has a partially overlapping structure, and the overlapping portion 12 includes:
As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of elongated holes 13 are provided, and the elongated holes 13 are connected by a connecting member (not shown) passing through them. By adjusting the degree of overlapping of the above-mentioned overlapping parts, the entire anode can be expanded and contracted. The distance to the surface corner can be adjusted.

FIG. 6 is a partial plan view showing an embodiment of electrical insulation of the protrusion of the anode of the present invention. Anode side 17
is bent outward at its end to form a protrusion 18 like the star-shaped anode described above. Moreover, between the abutting portions of the protruding portions 18, a flat anode member 19 is provided.
is inserted and fixed by the support member 20. The flat anode member 19 is made of an insoluble material, is electrically insulated from the anode body by an insulating member 21, and is connected to a separate power source from the anode body, so that it cannot conduct a higher current than the anode body. Can be done. Therefore, uniform plating can be achieved even when the curvature of the corner portion of the inner surface of the square tube is extremely small. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7, the flat anode member 19 is provided with a long hole 22 in a portion that engages with the support member 20, and the protrusion can be adjusted by adjusting the engagement position with the support member 20. It can be fixed so as to be movable forward and backward from the portion 18 in a diagonal direction.
As a result, the distance between the tip and the inner corner of the square tube can be reduced to about 10 mm. Therefore, by combining the above-mentioned management using a separate power source and adjusting the distance between the tip of the anode protrusion and the inner corner of the square tube, the size of the square tube, the type of plating solution, the composition, and other conditions can be greatly adjusted. Even if there are major changes, we can respond adequately.
