Abstract

Provided is a anodizing apparatus, including: a base configured to support a target product including a first bore that requires an anodizing surface treatment and a second bore that is connected to the first bore and excluded from the anodizing surface treatment; a working part configured to perform the anodizing surface treatment on the first bore; and a cover part configured to cover an outer surface of the target product, wherein the working part includes at least one electrode bar configured to access and enter the first bore, and a plurality of spray nozzles provided integrally with each of the at least one electrode bar and configured to selectively supply one of a degreasing solution, an electrolyte, and a cleaning solution to the first bore.

Claims (27)

1. An anodizing apparatus, comprising:

a base configured to support a target product comprising a first bore that requires an anodizing surface treatment and a second bore that is excluded from the anodizing surface treatment;

a working part configured to perform the anodizing surface treatment on the first bore; and

a cover part configured to cover an outer surface of the target product,

wherein

the working part comprises at least one electrode bar configured to access and enter the first bore, and a plurality of spray nozzles provided integrally with each of the at least one electrode bar and configured to selectively supply one of a degreasing solution, an electrolyte, and a cleaning solution to the first bore,

a lower surface of the target product is covered by the base, and

the cover part comprises

a plurality of first sealing blocks configured to cover a lateral surface of the target product,

a plurality of first driving parts configured to approach or separate each of the plurality of first sealing blocks toward and/or away from the target product,

a second sealing block configured to cover an upper surface of the target product, and

a second driving part configured to approach or separate the second sealing block toward and/or away from the target product.

2. The anodizing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of first driving parts comprises a main body fixed to the base, a support body configured to support each of the plurality of first sealing blocks, and a first cylinder provided between the main body and the support body and operating extendable and contractible.

3. The anodizing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second driving part comprises a plurality of columns extending upward from the base, a frame supported by the plurality of columns, and a second cylinder provided between the frame and the second sealing block and operating extendable and contractible.

4. The anodizing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a leakage prevention part configured to form an inner space of the cover part or the first bore to be a vacuum or a partial vacuum.

5. The anodizing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the leakage prevention part comprises at least one suction nozzle formed in each of the at least one electrode bar.

6. The anodizing apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising:

a pressure sensor configured to sense whether the inner space is sealed.

7. The anodizing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one electrode bar and the plurality of spray nozzles are inserted through the base.

8. The anodizing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the at least one electrode bar and the plurality of spray nozzles are inserted through at least one of the plurality of first sealing blocks and supported by the support body.

9. The anodizing apparatus of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of first driving parts further comprises a guide part configured to guide reciprocation of the support body with respect to the main body.

10. The anodizing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the guide part comprises a guide rod extended parallel to a driving direction of the first cylinder and a guide groove formed through an inside of the main body and on which the guide rod slides.

11. The anodizing apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one electrode bar is extended along an axial direction of the first bore.

12. The anodizing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of spray nozzles are positioned at regular intervals on a lateral surface of an end of each of the at least one electrode bar.

13. The anodizing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the working part further comprises a sealing member provided on an outer circumferential surface of each of the at least one electrode bar.

14. The anodizing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first sealing blocks and the second sealing block are formed corresponding to an outer shape of the target product.
