The brush filament will be worn after the first side surface of the first plate 5 or the first side surface of the second plate 16 are treated by the roughening friction roller 3 for a period of timewhile, and the outer diameter of the roughening friction roller 3 is reduced, as a result, the number of the striations 14 generated by the roughening treatment falls short of the design requirement. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the height of the roughening friction roller 3 with the lifting component 10 so that the roughening friction roller 3 is in full contact with the first side surface of the first plate 5 or the first side surface of the second plate 16.

The composite plate produced with the composite plate roughening device of the present invention has a high shear force and features a tight bonding, which satisfies the design requirement. The resulting composite plate has a strong bonding strength and is suitable to be machined as a cell phone frame, and it satisfies the requirement of minimal signal shielding for a cell phone and a low ratio of strength to weight.
The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a cell phone frame 26 according to any of the above embodiments. As shown in
Step 100, the first side surface of at least one of the first plate 5 and the second plate 16 is rubbed by the roughening friction roller 3 to form the striations 14;
In the process of contacting with the first side surface of the first plate 5 or the first side surface of the second plate 16, the roughening friction roller 3 rubs to form the striations 14; the roughening friction roller 3 rotates at a constant speed, and the first plate 5 and the second plate 16 move at a constant speed in the second direction, so the striations 14 formed in the first side surface of the first plate 5 and the first side surface of the second plate 16 are straight striations arranged at intervals, and there is a preset angle between the straight striations and the width direction of the first plate 5 or the second plate 16.

The roughening treatment may be performed once, or may be performed two or more times.
Step 200, the first plate 5 and the second plate 16 are asynchronously rolled to obtain the composite plate.
Step 300, the composite plate 25 is treated by a bending process;
As shown in
Certainly, it is possible to bend only the first end of the composite plate 25 by the bending machine 24, and then the composite plate 25 is sheared; at this time, the composite plate 25 is L-shaped, and four L-shaped composite plates 25 are successively connected to form a rectangular cell phone frame 26.
Step 400, the composite plate 25 treated by a bending process is welded to obtain the cell phone frame 26.
In this embodiment, both the first side surface of the first plate 5 and the first side surface of the second plate 16 are subjected to the roughening treatment, although only the first side surface of the first plate 5 may be subjected to the roughening treatment.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the striations of which adjacent striations have a pitch of 0.005 mm to 0.03 mm account for more than 90% of all the striations.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, before rolling the first plate 5 and the second plate 16 asynchronously, the method further includes:
Debris on the surface of the first plate 5 or the second plate 16 can be removed during the rotation of the dedusting roller 4; when the first plate 5 or the second plate 16 moves to a position between the upper and lower rows of the air jet ports 13, the air jet ports 13 emit a high-speed air flow to the first plate 5 or the second plate 16 to further remove debris from the surface of the first plate 5 or the second plate 16 and ensure that the surface of the first plate 5 or the second plate 16 is clean and the camera 2 can capture a clear image, and thus avoid the influence on combining the first plate 5 and the second plate 16.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, after the step of removing the debris from the surface of at least one of the first plate 5 and the second plate 16, the method further includes:
In step 130, the number of striations per unit area of the first side surface of the first plate 5 or the first side surface of the second plate 16 is determined to be smaller than a corresponding preset value, and the lifting component 10 is controlled to increase the height of the roughening friction roller 3.
When the control terminal 8 determines that the number of striations per unit area of the first side surface of the first plate 5 or the first side surface of the second plate 16 is smaller than the corresponding preset value, the control terminal 8 sends a control instruction to the controller 9, and the controller 9 controls the lifting component 10 to rise according to the control instruction, thereby increasing the height of the roughening friction roller 3 and bringing the roughening friction roller 3 into close contact with the first side surface of the first plate 5 or the first side surface of the second plate 16.
The number of striations per unit area of the first side surface of the first plate 5 or the first side surface of the second plate 16 is determined to be greater than the corresponding preset value. The control terminal 8 calculates the number of striations per unit area according to the acquired image information, and if the number of striations per unit area of the first side surface of the first plate 5 or the first side surface of the second plate 16 is determined to be greater than the corresponding preset value, then the roughening friction roller 3 is in good contact with the first side surface of the first plate 5 or the first side surface of the second plate 16, without the need to increase the height of the roughening friction roller 3.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the step of rolling the first plate 5 and the second plate 16 asynchronously includes:
The asynchronous rolling in the embodiment of the present invention refers to rolling a titanium plate and an aluminum alloy plate (i.e., the first plate 5 and the second plate 16) into a composite plate with rollers arranged up and down at different speeds.
Step 220, the heated first plate 5 and the heated second plate 16 are rolled asynchronously, so that the first side surface of the second plate 16 and the first side surface of the first plate 5 are rolled to connect to form the composite plate.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first plate 5 is heated online, that is, the titanium plate is heated online, so that the striations 14 in the surface of the titanium plate are thermally expanded to widen and deepen the grooves of the striations 14. The heated titanium plate and the aluminum alloy plate with a lower hardness are rolled to combine by the upper and lower rollers, the aluminum alloy plate is pressed into the groove in the titanium surface on a roughened surface where the aluminum alloy plate and the titanium plate are combined because of a much greater hardness of the titanium plate than that of the aluminum alloy plate; moreover, the titanium plate is cooled to shrink, and the surface of the aluminum alloy plate is heated to expand, so that the titanium plate and the aluminum alloy plate are closely attached on both sides of the groove to form an interference fit, thereby forming a strong bonding between the titanium plate and the aluminum alloy plate.

Step 252, the composite plate 25 is straightened in a width direction.
As shown in
The composite plate 25 may bend in one direction in the case of rolling two different types of metal plates, it is then necessary to straighten the composite plate 25, which requires a tensile force applied to the composite plate 25 in the second direction in the straightening process to prevent the resulting composite plate 25 from bending or warping.
