[0038] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0039] Specific embodiments, such asFigures 1 to 19 An electroplating system is shown, including a feeding device 1, an electroplating device 2, a collecting device 3 arranged in a straight line in sequence, and an electroplating production line 4 which are corresponding to each other and arranged on the feeding device 1, the electroplating device 2, and the collecting device 3 in sequence. The feeding device 1 is used for storing and outputting an unplated strip. The electroplating device 2 is used for receiving the unplated strip output by the feeding device 1 and electroplating the strip. The collecting device 3 is used for winding and storing the strip electroplated by the electroplating device 2;

[0040] The electroplating production line 4 includes an input buffer device 5 arranged in sequence along the length direction of the electroplating device 2 and used for buffering the input strip, a pressing plate electroplating part 22 for pressing the strip and electroplating the strip, a pulling piece part 23 for pulling out the electroplated strip in the pressing plate electroplating part 22 along a straight line to switch the strip on the processing station of the pressing plate electroplating part 22, and an output buffer device 6 for buffering the strip after the strip outputs from the pulling piece part 23; In the present invention, the electroplated strip on the pressing plate electroplating part 22 is pulled out along the horizontal straight line direction by the pulling piece part 23, preventing the strip output from the pressing plate electroplating part 2 from being affected by bending friction and wear, which affects the electroplating quality of the strip. The structure is simple and convenient for disassembly, installation and maintenance.

[0041] Further, the input buffer device 5 includes an input driving device 51 for enabling the strip to enter the electroplating device 2, an input buffer wheel 52 for buffering the input strip, and an input guiding wheel 53 for guiding the strip to the horizontal direction. The output buffer device 6 includes a first output guiding wheel 61 for guiding the strip, an output buffer wheel 62 for buffering the output strip, and a second output guiding wheel 63 for guiding the strip to the horizontal direction and outputting; The unplated strip outputs from the input driving device 51, passes under the input buffer wheel 52, then passes above the input guiding wheel 53 upward and enters the pressing plate electroplating part 22 horizontally; The electroplated strip outputs from the pulling piece part 23, passes above the first output guiding wheel 61, then passes under the output buffer wheel 62 downward, and finally passes through the guiding of the second output guiding wheel 63 upward and outputs horizontally;

[0042] The input driving device 51 further includes a bracket 511, a conveying roller 512 disposed on the bracket 511, a pressing roller 513 for cooperating with the conveying roller 512 to press the strip, and a motor 514 for driving the conveying roller 512 to rotate; the input buffering device 5 further includes an input bracket 54, and a buffering roller 55 disposed on the input bracket 54. A rope with one end connected to the input buffering wheel 52 and the other end connected to a counterweight is provided on the buffering roller 55; when the strip on the pressing plate electroplating section 22 stops moving and electroplating processing is performed, the input driving device 51 continues to convey the strip that has not been electroplated into the input buffering device 5. The weight of the input buffering wheel 52 is greater than the weight of the counterweight, and it moves downward under the action of gravity, stretching the strip that moves in and adheres to the lower side of the input buffering wheel 52 downward to perform strip buffering in the vertical direction. When switching the strip at the electroplating processing position of the pressing plate electroplating section 22, the strip buffered in the vertical direction in the input buffering device 5 is output. The strip is tightened and presses upward on the input buffering wheel 52, causing the input buffering wheel 52 to move upward;

[0043] The output buffering device 6 further includes an output bracket 64, and a buffering roller 65 disposed on the output bracket 64. A rope with one end connected to the output buffering wheel 62 and the other end connected to a counterweight is provided on the buffering roller 65; when switching the strip at the electroplating processing position of the pressing plate electroplating section 22, the speed at which the tab portion 23 outputs the electroplated strip is greater than the speed at which the output buffering device 6 outputs, causing the strip to accumulate on the output buffering device 6. The weight of the output buffering wheel 62 is greater than the weight of the counterweight, and it moves downward under the action of gravity, stretching the electroplated strip that adheres to the lower side of the output buffering wheel 62 downward to perform strip buffering in the vertical direction. When the strip on the pressing plate electroplating section 22 stops moving and electroplating processing is performed on the strip that has not been electroplated, the output buffering device 6 keeps the electroplated strip buffered in the vertical direction output, thereby making the entry and output of the strip on the electroplating equipment uninterrupted, improving the electroplating efficiency, and preventing the problems of the input strip accumulating and folding and the output strip being tightened and broken when the strip on the pressing plate electroplating section 2 stops moving and electroplating processing is performed.

[0044] The present invention also discloses that the pressing plate electroplating section 22 includes an electroplating tank 221 and a pressing plate electroplating device 222 disposed in the electroplating tank 221; when the pressing plate electroplating device 222 performs electroplating processing, the electroplating tank 221 is used to protect the pressing plate electroplating device 222 to prevent electroplating solution from splashing. And the electroplating tank 221 is preferably a sealed tank with a switchable door, which can not only prevent the smell of the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 221 from overflowing, but also observe the electroplating processing process of the pressing plate electroplating device 222 through the switchable door. The structure is simple and convenient for maintenance.

[0045] Furthermore, the pressing plate electroplating unit 22 further includes a pressing device 24 for pressing the strip, and an electroplating assembly 25 for electroplating the strip. The pressing device 24 includes an upper pressing plate 241, a pressing plate die 242 correspondingly arranged below the upper pressing plate 241, and a downward pressing driving device 243 for driving the upper pressing plate 241 to move downward and cooperate with the pressing plate die 242 to clamp the strip. The downward pressing driving device 243 is preferably a cylinder. Three such downward pressing driving devices 243 are sequentially arranged along the length direction on the outer side of the electroplating tank 221. The telescopic end of the downward pressing driving device 243 extends into the interior of the electroplating tank 221 and presses down the upper pressing plate 241, so that the upper pressing plate 241 moves downward and presses the strip against the pressing plate die 242. The arrangement of the three downward pressing driving devices 243 makes the downward pressing force more uniform, and further makes the clamping of the strip by the upper pressing plate 241 and the pressing plate die 242 more stable.

[0046] Specifically, the electroplating assembly 25 includes a pressure chamber 251, a medicine storage tank 252 communicated with the pressure chamber 251 and used for storing electroplating solution, and a power device 253 for introducing the electroplating solution in the medicine storage tank 252 into the pressure chamber 251. The pressing plate die 242 is used to seal the opening end of the pressure chamber 251. A medicine outlet hole 244 communicating the pressure chamber 251 with the outside is provided on the pressing plate die 242. After the pressing device 24 presses the strip, the power device 253 drives the electroplating solution in the medicine storage tank 252 to enter the pressure chamber 251 and flow out through the medicine outlet hole 244 to contact the strip and electroplate the strip. The power device 253 is preferably an air pump, which has a simple structure and is convenient to operate.

[0047] More specifically, the tab pulling part 23 includes a tab pulling box 26, and a single-axis robot 27 arranged in the tab pulling box 26 along the length direction of the tab pulling box 26. The single-axis robot 27 is used to pull the electroplated strip along its length direction, so that the strip moves horizontally after electroplating to prevent damage to the electroplating layer on the strip caused by bending or friction of the strip.

[0048] In addition, the uniaxial robot 27 includes a slide rail 271 disposed along the length direction of the tab box 26, a lead screw 272 disposed on the slide rail 271, a movable part 273 disposed on the slide rail 271 and in threaded cooperation with the lead screw 272, and a tab driving device 274 disposed at the end of the slide rail 271. The rotating end of the tab driving device 274 is connected to the lead screw 272 to drive the movable part 273 to reciprocate along the length direction of the slide rail 271. The tab driving device 274 is preferably a motor. The tab driving device 274 drives the lead screw 272 to rotate to drive the movable part 273 to move along the length direction of the lead screw 272. The movable part 273 clamps the strip, so that the strip moves horizontally.

[0049] Moreover, the tab part 23 further includes a clamping device 28 disposed in the tab box 26. The clamping device 28 includes a clamping bracket, a tab upper pressing plate disposed on the clamping bracket, a tab lower pressing plate, a clamping driving device for driving the tab upper pressing plate to press the strip against the tab lower pressing plate, and guide rollers disposed on both sides of the clamping bracket. The clamping driving device is preferably a cylinder. The telescopic end of the clamping driving device is connected to the tab upper pressing plate. The guide rollers are connected to the tab upper pressing plate. When the telescopic end of the clamping driving device extends, it drives the tab upper pressing plate to move downward and presses the strip against the tab lower pressing plate. At the same time, the tab upper pressing plate drives the guide rollers to disengage from the strip. When the telescopic end of the clamping driving device retracts, it drives the tab upper pressing plate to move upward and disengage from the strip. The tab upper pressing plate drives the guide rollers to move upward and lift the strip, so that the strip is located between the gaps of the tab upper pressing plate and the tab lower pressing plate and moves on the guide rollers, preventing the strip from being damaged by friction due to contact with the tab upper pressing plate or the tab lower pressing plate and damaging the plating layer of the strip.

[0050] Further, the clamping device 28 further includes a movable clamping device 29 provided on the single-axis robot 27 and a fixed clamping device 210 fixed in the tab box 26. The fixed clamping device 210 is used to clamp and fix the relative positions of the strip and the pressing plate electroplating part 22, and the movable clamping device 29 is used to clamp and pull the strip to switch the strip located at the processing station of the pressing plate electroplating part 22; when the strip is electroplated at the pressing plate electroplating part 22, the fixed clamping device 210 clamps the strip to prevent the strip from shifting during electroplating, and at the same time the movable clamping device 29 loosens the strip and moves in the direction close to the fixed clamping device 210; after the strip is electroplated at the pressing plate electroplating part 22, the fixed clamping device 210 loosens the strip, and at the same time the movable clamping device 29 clamps the strip and drives the strip to move in the direction away from the fixed clamping device 210 to pull out the electroplated strip section from the electroplating processing position and pull the non-electroplated strip section to the electroplating processing position of the pressing plate electroplating part 22.

[0051] Furthermore, the strip feeding device 1 includes a frame 11, and the electroplating production line 4 includes a strip feeding assembly 12 provided on the frame 11. The strip feeding assembly 12 includes a front strip feeding section 13 for placing and moving the strip and a rear strip feeding section 14 for adjusting the strip tension. The front strip feeding section 13 includes a feeding device 15 for storing and unrolling the strip, and the rear strip feeding section 14 includes a short buffer assembly 141, a long buffer assembly 142, a transfer buffer wheel 143, and an outlet wheel 144 arranged in sequence along the strip output direction. The strip is output after passing through the short buffer assembly 141, the long buffer assembly 142, the transfer buffer wheel 143, and the outlet wheel 144 in sequence from the front strip feeding section 13; the strip is buffered on the short buffer assembly 141, the long buffer assembly 142, and the transfer buffer wheel 143 in sequence, and the strip tension is adjusted to provide time for welding the heads and tails of adjacent strip coils, thereby improving the production efficiency without stopping the production line.

[0052] The present invention also discloses that the frame 11 includes a strip feeding frame 16 horizontally arranged in the horizontal direction and a buffer frame 17 vertically arranged in the vertical direction. The front strip feeding section 13 is located on the strip feeding frame 16, and the rear strip feeding section 14 is located on the buffer frame 17; the front strip feeding section 13 is used for storing the strip and outputting the strip, and the rear strip feeding section 14 is used for buffering and adjusting the strip tension.

[0053] Further, the feeding device 15 includes a first feeding device 151, a second feeding device 152, a third feeding device 153, and a fourth feeding device 154. The feeding rack 16 includes a first feeding rack 161 and a second feeding rack 162. The first feeding device 151 and the second feeding device 152 are located on opposite sides of the first feeding rack 161, and the third feeding device 153 and the fourth feeding device 154 are located on opposite sides of the second feeding rack 162. The width of the second feeding rack 162 is greater than the width of the first feeding rack 161, so that the first feeding device 151 and the third feeding device 153, and the second feeding device 152 and the fourth feeding device 154 are arranged in a staggered and parallel manner. The first feeding device 151 and the second feeding device 152, and the third feeding device 153 and the fourth feeding device 154 are arranged in parallel. Thus, when 14 feeding assembly lines work simultaneously, they do not interfere with each other, the structure is simple, and the feeding efficiency is improved.

[0054] Specifically, the first feeding rack 161, the second feeding rack 162, and the buffer rack 17 are arranged in sequence along the tape output direction. The tapes are respectively conveyed from the first feeding rack 161 and the second feeding rack 162 to the buffer rack 17 at the same time, and then conveyed to the outside of the feeder through the buffer rack 17.

[0055] More specifically, the feeding device 15 further includes a driving assembly 18 for outputting the tape from the feeding device 15 and entering the latter stage 14 of the feeder. The feeding device 15 includes a first reel 155 and a second reel 156. The feeding device 15 is used for storing the tape. When either the first reel 155 or the second reel 156 is the working output reel, the other is the standby output reel. When the tape on the working output reel is output completely, the tape on the standby output reel is connected to continue the output work of the tape. At this time, the original standby output reel becomes the new working output reel, and at the same time, the working output reel is replaced and becomes the new standby output reel. The structure is simple and the output efficiency of the tape is improved.

[0056] In addition, the driving assembly 18 includes a driving frame 181 provided on the rack 11, a driving wheel 182 provided on the driving frame 181, a driving motor 183 for driving the driving wheel 182 to rotate, and a pressing wheel 184 provided on the driving frame 181 and used for pressing the tape against the driving wheel 182. The driving wheel 182 and the pressing wheel 184 cooperate to press the tape, and the driving motor 183 drives the driving wheel 182 to rotate to drive the tape to move in the direction facing the buffer rack 17.

[0057] Moreover, the front section 13 of the material feeding section further includes a recycling component 19 for recycling the protective layer between the material tapes. The recycling component 19 includes a turntable 191 and a recycling driving device 192 for driving the turntable 191 to rotate. The recycling driving device 192 is preferably a motor. When the driving component 18 clamps the material tape for output, the turntable 191 rotates simultaneously to recycle the protective layer between the material tapes.

[0058] Furthermore, a guiding and buffering wheel 110 for guiding the material tape is also provided on the frame 11.

[0059] The guiding and buffering wheel 110 is used to horizontally guide the material tape transferred from the feeding device 15 to the driving component 18 to prevent the frame 11 from scratching and damaging the material tape.

[0060] Furthermore, the buffer frame 17 includes short fixed columns 171. The short buffer component 141 includes a short slide rail 1411 arranged along the length direction of the short fixed column 171, a first buffer wheel 1412 movably arranged along the length direction of the short slide rail 1411, a runner 1413 arranged at the end of the short fixed column 171, and a sensor 1414 for detecting the distance between the first buffer wheel 1412 and the end of the short fixed column 171. A rope with one end connected to the first buffer wheel 1412 and the other end connected to a counterweight is arranged on the runner 1413. The sensor

[0061] 1414 is preferably an ultrasonic sensor. When the output speed of the material tape of the material feeder is less than the receiving speed, the material tape will be tightened. The material tape adhering to the lower side of the first buffer wheel 1412 pushes the first buffer wheel 1412 under the action of tension, causing the first buffer wheel 1412 to move upward along the length direction of the short slide rail 1411. When the sensor 1414 detects that the distance between the first buffer wheel 1412 and the end of the short fixed column 171 decreases, the driving component 18 is triggered to increase the conveying speed, so that the feeding and receiving speeds are matched to prevent the material tape from being tightened and damaged.

[0062] Specifically, the buffer frame 17 further includes a long fixed column 172. The long buffer assembly 142 includes a long slide rail 1421 arranged along the length direction of the long fixed column 172, a second buffer wheel 1422 movably arranged along the length direction of the long slide rail 1421, and a buffer driving device 1423 arranged at the top end of the long fixed column 172 and used to drive a rope to pull the second buffer wheel 1422 to move along the length direction of the long fixed column 172. The buffer driving device 1423 is preferably a motor. When the material receiving speed is greater than the feeding speed and the material tape is tightened, the sensor 1414 detects that the distance between the first buffer wheel 1412 and the end of the short fixed column 171 decreases under the action of the tension of the material tape, triggering the buffer driving device 1423 to drive the second buffer wheel 1422 to move downward, so that the material tape stored on the second buffer wheel 1422 along the length direction of the long fixed column 172 is output, providing time for adjusting the speed of the driving assembly 18, and also providing welding time for the head and tail welding of the material tape on the first material tray 155 and the second material tray 156, without stopping the continuous output of the material tape, improving the working efficiency of the uncoiler.

[0063] The present invention further includes a cylinder 185 arranged at the upper end of the driving frame 181 of the driving assembly 18. The pressing wheel 184 is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 185. The cylinder 185 is used to drive the pressing wheel 184 to move downward to press the material tape against the driving wheel 182, so that the driving wheel 182 and the pressing wheel 184 cooperate to press and rotate the material tape, and output the material tape in the direction facing the buffer frame 17.

[0064] Specifically, the material receiving device 3 includes a material receiving frame 31. The electroplating production line 4 includes a material receiving assembly 32 arranged on the material receiving frame 31. The material receiving assembly 32 includes a driving part 33, a buffer part 34, and a material receiving part 35 arranged in sequence along the moving direction of the material tape. The driving part 33 is used to drive the material tape to move, and after the material tape passes through the buffer part 34 for adjusting the tension of the material tape, it then enters the material receiving part 35 for winding and storing the material tape. The tension of the material tape is adjusted by the buffer part 34 to provide operation time for the replacement of the material receiving part 35, so as to prevent the material tape from accumulating and falling, causing chaos or damage to the conveying of products on the production line.

[0065] The present invention also discloses that the material receiving frame 31 includes a first material receiving frame 36 and a second material receiving frame 37. The first material receiving frame 36 and the second material receiving frame 37 are arranged in sequence along the moving direction of the material tape. The driving part 33 is located on the first material receiving frame 36, and the buffering part 34 and the material receiving part 35 are both located on the second material receiving frame 37. The first material receiving frame 36 and the second material receiving frame 37 are arranged at intervals, so that the driving part 33 is arranged at intervals from the buffering part 34 and the material receiving part 35, which is convenient for the maintenance and position adjustment of the material receiving machine.

[0066] Furthermore, the second material receiving frame 37 includes a horizontally arranged frame 371 and a vertically arranged frame 372 arranged between the horizontally arranged frame 371 and the first material receiving frame 36. The material receiving parts 35 are located on opposite sides of the horizontally arranged frame 371, and the buffering part 34 is located on the vertically arranged frame 372. The material receiving part 35 recovers the material tape along the horizontal length direction of the horizontally arranged frame 371, with a simple structure, which is convenient for disassembly, assembly and recovery of the material tape. The buffering part 34 is used for storing and buffering the material tape along the vertical length direction of the vertically arranged frame 372.

[0067] Specifically, the material receiving part 35 includes a first material receiving group 351, a second material receiving group 352, a third material receiving group 353 and a fourth material receiving group 354. The horizontally arranged frame 371 includes a first horizontally arranged frame 3711 and a second horizontally arranged frame 3712. The first material receiving group 351 and the second material receiving group 352 are located on opposite sides of the first horizontally arranged frame 3711, and the third material receiving group 353 and the fourth material receiving group 354 are located on opposite sides of the second horizontally arranged frame 3712. The first material receiving group 351 and the second material receiving group 352 are arranged parallel to each other, and the third material receiving group 353 and the fourth material receiving group 354 are arranged parallel to each other and offset. Furthermore, when 34 material receiving assembly lines work simultaneously, they do not affect each other, with a simple structure and improved material receiving efficiency.

[0068] More specifically, the width of the first horizontally arranged frame 3711 is greater than the width of the second horizontally arranged frame 3712, so as to facilitate the offset arrangement between the first material receiving group 351 and the third material receiving group 353, and between the second material receiving group 352 and the fourth material receiving group 354. The structure is simple, enabling the material tapes on the 34 material receiving assembly lines to run independently, which is convenient for adjustment and maintenance.

[0069] In addition, the material receiving part 35 includes a material receiving disk 355 arranged along the moving direction of the material tape, a material receiving buffer wheel 356 arranged on the side of the material receiving disk 355, and a protective film output chuck 357. The protective film output chuck 357 is used to output the protective film covering between the material tapes. A material disk driving device 358 for driving the rotation of the material receiving disk 355 is arranged on the material receiving rack 31. The material disk driving device 358 is preferably a motor. The material disk driving device 358 drives the rotation of the material receiving disk 355. After the material tape enters the material receiving part 35 from the buffer part 34, it first passes through the material receiving buffer wheel 356 and then winds tightly on the rotating material receiving disk 355. At the same time, the protective film on the protective film output chuck 357 is also inserted between the wound material tapes, and the rotation of the material receiving disk 355 drives the rotation of the protective film output chuck 357 to output the protective film.

[0070] Moreover, the material receiving disk 355 includes a first material receiving disk 3551 and a second material receiving disk 3552. The first material receiving disk 3551 and the second material receiving disk 3552 are arranged in sequence along the moving direction of the material tape. When either the first material receiving disk 3551 or the second material receiving disk 3552 is the working material collecting disk, the other is the standby material collecting disk. When the material tape on the working material collecting disk is collected completely, there is no need to stop the machine. The standby material collecting disk is directly switched to continue the material tape collecting work and becomes the new working material collecting disk. At the same time, the working material collecting disk is replaced and becomes the new standby material collecting disk. The structure is simple and the material tape collecting efficiency is improved.

[0071] Furthermore, a pressing device 359 for pressing the material tape against the material receiving buffer wheel 356 is arranged on the material receiving rack 31. The pressing device 359 is preferably a cylinder. The pressing device 359 is located on the horizontal rack 371 and near the vertical rack 372, and above the material receiving buffer wheel 356. At the end of the material tape collection, the telescopic end of the pressing device 359 presses the tail end of the material tape against the material receiving buffer wheel 356 to realize the stop action of the material tape, preventing the tail end of the material tape from slipping out due to inertia and being damaged by collision.

[0072] Even further, the driving part 33 includes a material tape driving device 331 arranged on the first material receiving rack 36 for moving the material tape, and a guiding buffer wheel 332 for guiding the material tape. The material tape driving device 331 is used to drive the movement of the material tape, and the material tape passes through the guiding buffer wheel 332 and enters the buffer part 34.

[0073] Specifically, the buffer part 34 includes an upper buffer wheel 341, a lower buffer wheel 342 movably arranged along the length direction of the vertically arranged frame 372, and a driving device 343 arranged at the end of the vertically arranged frame 372 and used to drive the upper buffer wheel 341 to reciprocate along the length direction of the vertically arranged frame 372; the driving device 343 is preferably a motor. A slide rail 373 is also arranged on the outer side wall of the vertically arranged frame 372 along the length direction of the vertically arranged frame 372. The vertically arranged frame 372 is preferably a rectangular tube. A runner 374 inserted into the vertically arranged frame 372 is also arranged at the lower end of the vertically arranged frame 372. A rope is sleeved on the runner 374 and the rotating end of the driving device 343. One side of the rope is inside the vertically arranged frame 372, and the other side is outside the vertically arranged frame 372. The rope located outside the vertically arranged frame 372 is connected to the upper buffer wheel 341. The driving device 343 drives the rope to pull the upper buffer wheel 341 to move along the length direction of the slide rail 373.

[0074] The upper buffer wheel 341 of the present invention further includes a first upper buffer wheel 3411 and a second upper buffer wheel 3412 arranged parallel to the first upper buffer wheel 3411 in the horizontal direction. A transfer buffer wheel 38 is also arranged at the connection position between the horizontally arranged frame 371 and the vertically arranged frame 372. The strip moves along the material receiving direction, goes down around and clings to the lower side of the guiding buffer wheel 332 through the driving part 33, then goes around and clings to the upper side of the first upper buffer wheel 3411, moves down through the middle of the first upper buffer wheel 3411 and the second upper buffer wheel 3412 and clings to the lower side of the lower buffer wheel 342, then goes up through the middle of the first upper buffer wheel 3411 and the second upper buffer wheel 3412 and clings to the upper side of the second upper buffer wheel 3412, then goes down around and clings to the lower side of the transfer buffer wheel 38, and finally goes up through the upper side of the material receiving buffer wheel 356 and enters the material receiving tray 355.

[0075] When the material receiving speed of the material receiving device 3 is greater than the material discharging speed of the electroplating device 2, the strip between the material receiving device 3 and the electroplating device 2 will be tightened. At this time, the driving device 343 drives the rope to pull the upper buffer wheel 341 to move downward along the length direction of the slide rail, so that the strip stored along the length direction of the vertically arranged frame 372 on the upper buffer wheel 341 is output to the material receiving part 35, providing time for the adjustment of the speed matching between the material receiving device 3 and the electroplating device 2.

[0076] The tape driving device 331 of the present invention further includes a driving machine frame 3311, a driving wheel 3312 provided on the driving machine frame 3311, a pressing wheel 3313 corresponding to and cooperating with the driving wheel 3312, and a driving motor 3314 for driving the driving wheel 3312 to rotate. A cylinder 3315 is also provided on the driving machine frame 3311. The pressing wheel 3313 is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 3315. When the cylinder 3315 drives the pressing wheel 3313 to press the tape against the driving wheel 3312, the driving motor 3314 drives the driving wheel 3312 to rotate to drive the tape to move. The driving wheel 3312, the pressing wheel 3313, the cylinder 3315, and the driving motor 3314 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The rotating end of the driving motor 3314 and the driving wheel 3312 are connected by a conveyor belt.

[0077] The present invention further includes a CCD detection device 39 provided on the first material receiving frame 36 for detecting the tape before it enters the driving device 331. The CCD detection device 39 is used to detect the electroplating quality of the tape.

[0078] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

The feeding device 1 is used to store and output the unplated tape. The electroplating device 2 is used to receive the unplated tape output by the feeding device 1 and electroplate the tape. The material receiving device 3 is used to wind and store the tape electroplated by the electroplating device 2.

[0080] The electroplating production line 4 includes an input buffer device 5 arranged in sequence along the length direction of the electroplating device 2 for buffering the input tape, a pressing plate electroplating part 22 for pressing the tape and electroplating the tape, a pulling piece part 23 for pulling out the electroplated tape in the pressing plate electroplating part 22 along a straight line to switch the tape on the processing station of the pressing plate electroplating part 22, and an output buffer device 6 for buffering the tape after the tape exits the pulling piece part 23. The present invention pulls out the electroplated tape on the pressing plate electroplating part 22 along a horizontal straight line direction through the pulling piece part 23, preventing the tape output from the pressing plate electroplating part 2 from being affected by bending and friction wear, which affects the electroplating quality of the tape. The structure is simple and convenient for disassembly, installation, and maintenance.
