Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vernier calipers, in particular to an electroplating device for producing vernier calipers. Background Art

[0002] A vernier caliper is a measuring instrument for measuring length, inside and outside diameters, and depth. A vernier caliper consists of a main scale and a sliding vernier attached to the main scale. The main scale is generally in millimeters, while the vernier has 10, 20, or 50 divisions. Depending on the divisions, vernier calipers can be divided into 10-degree vernier calipers, 20-degree vernier calipers, and 50-degree vernier calipers. The vernier with a 10-degree division has a 9mm scale, the 20-degree division has a 19mm scale, and the 50-degree division has a 49mm scale. The main scale and vernier of a vernier caliper have two pairs of movable jaws, namely the inner measuring jaw and the outer measuring jaw. The inner measuring jaw is usually used to measure the inside diameter, while the outer measuring jaw is usually used to measure the length and outside diameter.

[0003] During the production and manufacturing of vernier calipers, steel plates are used as the manufacturing material, so polishing and other steps are usually required during the production and manufacturing process. After polishing, the vernier caliper parts are electroplated. During the electroplating process, they are usually placed in an electroplating tank for electroplating. Traditional electroplating has a small amount of one-time electroplating and it is not easy to remove the parts after electroplating. For this reason, we propose an electroplating device for vernier caliper production. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution: an electroplating device for vernier caliper production, comprising an electroplating box 1, two sets of positioning mechanisms 4 are fixedly installed on the top of the electroplating box 1, and a supporting mechanism 3 for supporting the vernier caliper components is clamped inside the positioning mechanism 4, and a driving mechanism 2 for driving the two sets of supporting mechanisms 3 to rotate is fixedly installed on the top of the electroplating box 1, and two sets of guide mechanisms 5 are fixedly installed on one side of the electroplating box 1, and the side walls of the guide mechanisms 5 are clamped with the supporting mechanisms 3, and the guide mechanisms 5 push the supporting mechanisms 3 to be tilted and positioned along the inside of the positioning mechanisms 4, and the bottom of the electroplating box 1 is fixedly connected to multiple sets of supporting legs, and the bottom of the supporting legs is covered with anti-slip pads made of rubber material.

[0024] Among them, by setting up the driving mechanism 2, the supporting mechanism 3 can be driven to rotate along the inside of the positioning mechanism 4. Such a setting can make the material to be electroplated inside the supporting mechanism 3 fully rotate, so that the parts to be electroplated can be fully in contact with the electroplating liquid, ensuring sufficient electroplating; and the set guide mechanism 5 can drive the supporting mechanism 3 to rotate along the top of the positioning mechanism 4 and maintain it at a certain angle, so as to facilitate the full drop of the electroplating liquid remaining inside the supporting mechanism 3, without causing waste of resources or splashing of the electroplating liquid during the transfer of the supporting mechanism 3; and the set positioning mechanism 4 can make the supporting mechanism 3 lower in the placement process, so that the mutually driven supporting mechanism 3 and the driving mechanism 2 can be conveniently kept away from each other, and the supporting mechanism can be conveniently taken out from the inside of the electroplating box 1.

[0025] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The positioning mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 6, a telescopic rod 7, a hollow tube 8 and a bearing block 9. The fixed frame 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the electroplating box 1. The top of the fixed frame 6 is fixedly connected with the telescopic rod 7. The outer surface of the telescopic rod 7 is slidably connected with the hollow tube 8. The top of the hollow tube 8 is fixedly connected with the bearing block 9. The top of the bearing block 9 is penetrated by a semicircular slot 10. The top of the fixed frame 6 is fixedly connected with a hinge block 11. The surface of the hinge block 11 is rotatably connected to the limit rod 12. One side of the top of the limit rod 12 is in contact with the bottom of the bearing block 9. The bearing mechanism 3 is clamped in the corresponding two groups of slots 10.

[0026] Among them, after the supporting mechanism 3 is placed inside the card slot 10, the supporting block 9 is pulled up so that the hollow tube 8 at its bottom moves along the outer wall of the telescopic rod 7. After moving to the moving height, the limit rod 12 is rotated so that the limit rod 12 is tilted and engaged with the bottom of the supporting block 9. When the limit rod 12 is vertical, the supporting mechanism 3 and the driving mechanism 2 can be fully engaged. Then, when the limit rod 12 is tilted, a certain distance can be created between the supporting mechanism 3 and the driving mechanism 2, thereby preventing locking during the engagement process. When the supporting mechanism 3 needs to be removed, the limit rod 12 can be moved away from the bottom of the supporting block 9 to make the hollow tube 8 close to the top of the fixing frame 6. At this time, the supporting mechanism 3 can be lowered and away from the outer surface of the driving mechanism 2. This arrangement can prevent the driving mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 3 from being continuously engaged, and also facilitates the removal of the supporting mechanism 3 from above the supporting block 9.

[0027] See also Figure 4 The fixing frame 6, telescopic rod 7, hollow tube 8 and bearing block 9 are all made of rigid materials, and the cross sections of the telescopic rod 7 and hollow tube 8 are both rectangular.

[0028] The cross sections of the telescopic rod 7 and the hollow tube 8 are set to be rectangular to prevent the bearing block 9 from deflecting during the descent process.

[0029] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The carrying mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate 13, a first connecting shaft 14 and a first gear plate 15. The fixed plate 13 is provided in two groups. The tops of the opposite sides of the two groups of fixed plates 13 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 17. The inner wall of the fixed plate 13 is rotatably connected to the first gear plate 15 through the first connecting shaft 14. The opposite sides of the two groups of the first gear plates 15 are fixedly connected to a carrying bucket 16. The top of the carrying bucket 16 is hinged with an opening and closing door. Both sides of the connecting rod 17 are fixedly connected to a second connecting shaft 18. The second connecting shaft 18 is overlapped on the inner wall of the slot 10. The second connecting shaft 18 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 19 on the side away from the connecting rod 17 and corresponding to the position of the guide mechanism 5.

[0030] Among them, the opening and closing door on the surface of the carrying barrel 16 can facilitate the placement of the parts that need to be electroplated inside the carrying barrel 16, and the provided connecting rod 17 can take the carrying barrel 16 out of the inside of the electroplating box 1, and the second connecting shaft 18 on both sides of the fixed plate 13 can make it overlap on the top of the carrying block 9, and then the first gear plate 15 fixedly connected on both sides of the carrying barrel 16 can rotate with the driving mechanism 2, so that the electroplated parts inside the carrying barrel 16 can be fully rotated and fully mixed with the electroplating liquid.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The driving mechanism 2 includes a servo motor 20, a second gear plate 21, a fixed rotating shaft 22 and a third gear plate 23. The servo motor 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the electroplating box 1. The output end of the servo motor 20 is fixedly connected to the second gear plate 21. One side of the inner wall of the electroplating box 1 is fixedly connected to the third gear plate 23 through the fixed rotating shaft 22. The top of the third gear plate 23 is meshed with the bottom of the second gear plate 21, and the two sides of the outer wall of the third gear plate 23 are respectively meshed with the outer walls of the first gear plates 15 on both sides.

[0032] Among them, when the carrying mechanism 3 is placed above the positioning mechanism 4, the first gear plate 15 will engage with the third gear plate 23, and then the servo motor 20 will be started to rotate. The rotation of the servo motor 20 can use the second gear plate 21 to drive the third gear plate 23 to rotate along the fixed rotating shaft 22, and the rotation of the third gear plate 23 can drive the first gear plate 15 engaged with it to rotate, so that the carrying barrel 16 can be rotated.

[0033] See also Figure 1 The guide mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 24, a telescopic cylinder 25, a collar 28 and a positioning frame 29. The surface of the electroplating box 1 is tiltedly provided with a telescopic cylinder 25 through two groups of fixed plates 24. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to a mounting block 26. The surface of the mounting block 26 is rotatably connected to a roller 27. The interior of the collar 28 is slidably connected to a positioning frame 29. The inner wall of the positioning frame 29 is in contact with the outer wall of the positioning block 19. A connecting plate 30 is fixedly connected to one side of the collar 28. One side of the connecting plate 30 is in contact with the outer wall of the roller 27.

[0034] Among them, when the electroplating is completed, the positioning frame 29 is first pulled to move along the inside of the ring 28, and then the positioning frame 29 can be clamped on the outer surface of the positioning block 19, and then the connecting plate 30 can be overlapped on the surface of the roller 27, and then the telescopic cylinder 25 is started to rotate, and then the telescopic cylinder 25 can drive the mounting block 26 and the roller 27 to move outward, so that the positioning frame 29 can be used to drive the positioning block 19 and the second connecting shaft 18 and the fixed plate 13 connected thereto to move and rotate, so that the carrying barrel 16 can be tilted, so that the carrying barrel 16 can be kept away from the electroplating liquid inside the electroplating box 1, so that the electroplating liquid inside the carrying barrel 16 can be easily flowed out.

[0035] See 1 and Figure 4 The positioning block 19, the collar 28, the positioning frame 29 and the connecting plate 30 are all made of rigid materials, and the cross sections of the positioning block 19 and the positioning frame 29 are both set to be rectangular.

[0036] The cross sections of the positioning block 19 and the positioning frame 29 are rectangular, so that the positioning block 19 and the second connecting shaft 18 can be easily rotated along the bearing block 9 by the rotation of the positioning frame 29 .

[0037] During use, first, the driving mechanism 2 is provided to drive the carrying mechanism 3 to rotate along the inside of the positioning mechanism 4. This arrangement allows the material to be electroplated inside the carrying mechanism 3 to rotate fully, so that the parts to be electroplated can fully contact the electroplating liquid, ensuring sufficient electroplating; and the guide mechanism 5 is provided to drive the carrying mechanism 3 to rotate along the top of the positioning mechanism 4 and maintain it at a certain angle, so as to facilitate the full drop of the electroplating liquid remaining inside the carrying mechanism 3, without causing waste of resources or splashing of the electroplating liquid during the transfer of the carrying mechanism 3;In addition, the positioning mechanism 4 provided can make the position of the supporting mechanism 3 lower during the placement process, so that the supporting mechanism 3 and the driving mechanism 2 that drive each other can be conveniently kept away from each other, and the supporting mechanism can be conveniently taken out from the inside of the electroplating box 1. After the supporting mechanism 3 is placed inside the card slot 10, the supporting block 9 is pulled to move the hollow tube 8 at its bottom along the outer wall of the telescopic rod 7. After moving to the moving height, the limiting rod 12 is rotated so that the limiting rod 12 is tilted and connected to the bottom of the supporting block 9. When the limiting rod 12 is vertical, the supporting mechanism 3 and the driving mechanism 2 can be fully engaged. Then, when the limiting rod 12 is tilted, the supporting mechanism 3 and the driving mechanism 2 can be kept at a certain distance. 9, and the second connecting shaft 18 on both sides of the fixing plate 13 can be used to remove the supporting mechanism 3 from the inner wall of the fixing plate 13, so that the supporting mechanism 3 can be removed from the inner wall of the fixing plate 13. It is overlapped on the top of the carrying block 9, and then the first gear disc 15 fixedly connected on both sides of the carrying barrel 16 can rotate with the driving mechanism 2, so that the electroplated parts inside the carrying barrel 16 can be fully rotated and fully mixed with the electroplating liquid. When the carrying mechanism 3 is placed above the positioning mechanism 4, the first gear disc 15 will mesh with the third gear disc 23, and then the servo motor 20 will be started to rotate. The rotation of the servo motor 20 can use the second gear disc 21 to drive the third gear disc 23 to rotate along the fixed rotating shaft 22, and the rotation of the third gear disc 23 can drive the first gear disc 15 meshed with it to rotate, so that the carrying barrel 16 can be rotated. After electroplating is completed, the positioning frame 29 is first pulled along the inside of the collar 28 to move. The positioning frame 29 is then engaged with the outer surface of the positioning block 19. The connecting plate 30 is then overlapped with the surface of the roller 27. The telescopic cylinder 25 is then activated to rotate. The telescopic cylinder 25 then drives the mounting block 26 and the roller 27 to move outward. The positioning frame 29 then drives the positioning block 19 and the second connecting shaft 18 and the fixed plate 13 connected thereto to move and rotate, thereby tilting the carrier barrel 16 and moving it away from the electroplating solution inside the electroplating tank 1, thereby facilitating the discharge of the electroplating solution inside the carrier barrel 16.
