Abstract

An anode oxidation device comprises an anode oxidation tank, a force transmission mechanism, a fixing mechanism, an electric control mechanism, and a conduction mechanism. The tank comprises a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The force transmission mechanism is rotatably fixed to the tank. The fixing mechanism is detachably fixed to the force transmission mechanism. The electronic control mechanism is connected to the force transmission mechanism and drives the force transmission mechanism to make the fixing mechanism move from the first end to the second end.
