BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

Plating article rinsing is an important part of electroplating production, poor rinsing effect not only impacts electroplating quality but also makes a next procedure of plating solution polluted. Many electroplating factories frequently use excessive amounts of rinse water so as to guarantee the rinsing quality of plating articles, thus causing serious water resource waste; in China, electroplating industries discharge up to 4 billion tons of waste water containing heavy metals every year. The fundamental reason that electroplating rinsing consumes excessive water is that there lacks effective automatic water control means at present and the usage amount of rinse water is determined by operators according to experiences.


Conductivity water control technology is a method for realizing automatic control of rinse water supply and discharge by adjusting the conductivity of the rinse water. The working principle is to monitor the concentration of the plating solution in the rinse water through a conductivity sensor according to the positive correlation between the concentration and the conductivity of the electroplating solution in the rinse water. When the conductivity in the rinse water exceeds a maximum allowed value, a water supply valve is opened to supply clean water; when the conductivity in the rinse water is less than a preset value, a solenoid valve is closed to stop supplying water. This method may improve the randomness of opening and closing the water supply valve and prevent the phenomenon of water keeping running. At present, automatic conductivity water control technologies mostly are applied to continuous countercurrent rinsing processes. Among the many rinsing ways, intermittent countercurrent rinsing is the most basic water conservation rinsing method; meanwhile, as the increase of the stages of rinse tanks, the usage amount of rinse water is reduced.

A use method of the intelligent water control equipment for intermittently countercurrent rinsing plating articles described in claim 1, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: 1) at the initial stage of rinsing, what in each stage of rinse tank being rinse water, feeding detergent to the first-stage rinse tank, the detergent being a mixed liquor composed of absolute ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol dimer fatty acid and amine phosphate, with a mass ratio of 7:2:1:1, the dosage of the detergent being 0.1-1.2 g/L, best 0.4 g/L, wherein, as rinsing time increases, the concentration of each stage of rinse tank increases gradually;2) when the conductivity of the second last stage of rinse tank reaches a preset upper limit, the conductivity electrode transmitting a signal to the PLC automatic control system, the PLC automatic control system triggering the program of automatic water change to start changing water, and, feeding one time detergent to the first-stage rinse tank each time water is changed; the system first automatically opening the water discharge pump of the first-stage rinse tank to discharge the rinse water in the first-stage rinse tank; after the first-stage rinse tank is emptied, totally inputting the second-stage rinse water to the first-stage rinse tank through the PLC automatic control system, latter stages of rinse tanks changing water in turn, and, when the final-stage rinse tank is emptied, triggering the water supply pump to infuse clean rinse water to the final-stage rinse tank, the water supply pump being connected with a normal-temperature water tank and a hot water tank respectively for alternately supplying normal-temperature water and hot water, the temperature of the normal-temperature water being 20±5° C. and the temperature of the hot water being about 80±10° C.;3) when the final-stage rinse tank is full of rinse water, triggering the liquid level sensor arranged on the top part, the liquid level sensor transmitting a signal to the PLC automatic control system, and the PLC automatic control system triggering the water supply pump to stop supplying water, the system being capable of monitoring the water flow of water change of each stage of rinse tank and finding the leakage and venting condition of rinse water in time;4) when inspecting and debugging the device, changing the PLC automatic control system to manual control, so that the rinse water may be emptied manually through the emptying valve to facilitate equipment repair.
  • 7. The use method of the intelligent water control equipment for intermittently countercurrent rinsing plating articles according to claim 6, characterized in that the amine phosphate is acidic amine phosphate,
  • 8. The use method of the intelligent water control equipment for intermittently countercurrent rinsing plating articles according to claim 6, characterized in that the preparation method of the detergent is: taking absolute ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, dimer fatty acid and acidic amine phosphate according to the mass ratio; pumping the dimer fatty acid into a blending kettle to heat to 35 to 4° C., then adding the acidic amine phosphate to stir for to 1 to 5 min, next adding the absolute ethyl alcohol and the isopropyl alcohol, mixing thoroughly, ready to use.
