Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electroplating light transmittance technology, and specifically to a method for detecting electroplating light transmittance. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of metal or alloy onto the surface of certain materials using the principle of electrolysis. It is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts, thereby preventing metal oxidation (such as rust), improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (such as copper sulfate), and enhancing aesthetics.

[0003] After the electroplating process, it is necessary to inspect the metal film on the surface of the item. The common method is to shine a light on the surface of the item and look at the reflection of the metal film. However, this requires repeated exposure of each item by one, which reduces the inspection effect and speed. Furthermore, workers staring at the light for a long time will experience a decline in their eyesight.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a method for detecting the light transmittance of electroplating. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (1) Technical problems to be solved The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, adapt to practical needs, and provide a method for detecting the light transmittance of electroplating to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] (2) Technical solution To achieve the objectives of this invention, the technical solution adopted is as follows: A method for detecting the light transmittance of electroplating is described below: S1. Placing and clamping items: The placement slot is suitable for placing items with a spherical or elliptical bottom, or objects with a flat bottom. The clamping mechanism fixes the items in place, preventing them from falling off during rotation. S2, Rotating Article Device: The rotating mechanism rotates the articles on multiple clamping mechanisms, enabling comprehensive inspection of the article surface; S3. Detection device: During the rotation of the item, the electroplating sensor receives the reflected light from the electroplating on the outside of the item. The signal from the detection of the metal film on the item is transmitted to the indicator light. The indicator light can accurately tell the staff which item is unqualified. S4. Item drop handling: The conical surface at the top of the conical turntable guides the dropped item into the bottom of the annular slide. The item then travels along the bottom of the annular slide to the front port of the detection box for automatic centralized collection. The above-mentioned process steps S1-S4 require the participation of a testing device to complete the corresponding testing operations. The testing device includes a testing box, with lighting lamps evenly distributed in a circular array on the upper wall of the testing box, and an electroplating sensor inclinedly installed on one side of the upper wall of the testing box; a central mechanism is provided in the middle of the testing box; a rotating mechanism is provided at the bottom of the testing box; and a clamping mechanism is located directly opposite the lower end face of the lighting lamp.

[0007] Furthermore, the central mechanism includes an annular slide rail supported by a support rod, the lower end face of which is connected to a boss surface at the bottom of the detection box, and the outer annular wall of the annular slide rail is slidably connected to a groove opened on the lower end face of the arc baffle.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a servo motor connected to the bottom of the detection box. The output end of the servo motor is connected to a rotating shaft. The top end of the rotating shaft is connected to a conical turntable. The lower end face of the conical turntable is connected to a cylindrical shell. The inner side of the cylindrical shell is fitted onto the outer side of the rotating shaft, and a first pulley is fitted onto the lower part of the outer side of the cylindrical shell. The first pulley is connected to a second pulley via a first transmission belt. A rotating rod is fitted onto the inner side of the second pulley, and a third pulley is connected adjacent to the upper end of the second pulley. The inner side of the third pulley is fitted onto the rotating rod, and several third pulleys are evenly distributed in a circumferential array around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft. The second pulley is connected to multiple third pulleys via a second transmission belt.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper end of the rotating rod passes through a through hole opened inside the conical turntable, and a rotating shell is fitted on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating rod. The lower end face of the rotating shell has a circumferential array of slots. A rolling ball is rotatably connected inside the slots. The outer surface of the rolling ball abuts against the rotating groove opened on the upper end face of the conical turntable. The top end of the rotating rod has a mounting hole. A first spring is connected to the bottom of the mounting hole. A transmission rod is connected to the upper end face of the first spring.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower outer side of the transmission rod is formed with a convex surface and a groove surface, and the upper end surface of the transmission rod is provided with a placement groove, and lifting rods are connected to both sides of the upper outer surface of the transmission rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a cylindrical shell supported by the top of the rotating rod. The cylindrical shell has openings on both sides of its outer surface, and a transmission plate is provided inside the cylindrical shell. A V-shaped abutment is formed in the middle of the transmission plate. A transmission plate is connected to the upper surface of the V-shaped abutment, and a buckle is connected to the lower surface of the V-shaped abutment. The buckle is made of a soft material, and a sliding block is connected to the lower surface of the buckle. The sliding block is slidably connected to a slide rail groove opened on the upper surface of the support plate, and the sliding block is connected to one side wall of the slide rail groove by a second spring member.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer side of the buckle plate abuts against a fixing plate. A buckle groove is formed on the lower end face of one side of the fixing plate. An abutment groove is obliquely passed through the inner side of the buckle groove. A T-shaped block is slidably connected inside the abutment groove. A third spring is connected to the lower end face of one side of the top cover of the T-shaped block. The lower end face of the third spring is connected to the upper end face of the fixing plate. The two end faces of the fixing plate are connected to the first support wall plates. One side of the two first support wall plates is connected to the lower part of the opening. The two sides of the support plate are connected to the opposite sides of the two support wall plates.

[0013] Furthermore, one side of the transmission plate abuts against a V-shaped rotating plate, which is connected to a second support wall plate via a fixed shaft. One side of the second support wall plate is connected to the upper part of the opening. The V-shaped rotating plate is connected to a limit plate via a fourth spring member. The two sides of the limit plate are connected to the opposite surfaces of the two second support wall plates. Limit holes are equidistantly opened on one end face of the V-shaped rotating plate along its width direction. A telescopic rod is slidably connected inside the limit hole. One end of the telescopic rod is connected to a clamping plate. A fifth spring member is connected to the opposite surface of the clamping plate and the V-shaped rotating plate. The fifth spring member is intersecting and located in the space of multiple telescopic rods at equal intervals.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper end face of the conical turntable is connected to a circumferential array of indicator lights, which are located on the periphery of the rotating shell.

[0015] Beneficial effects: In this invention, the clamping operation is facilitated by the V-shaped abutment, transmission plate, and buckle plate on the transfer plate. Firstly, the V-shaped abutment can stably clamp the transfer rod in the groove, preventing the transfer rod from automatically returning to its original position without pressure. Secondly, the transmission plate can transmit the power of the V-shaped rotating plate, allowing the clamping plate to complete the clamping operation. Thirdly, the buckle plate ensures that the V-shaped abutment is always clamped to the transfer rod and that the transmission plate is always in contact with the V-shaped rotating plate.

[0016] In this invention, it is advantageous to eliminate the need for manual, repeated illumination of each item with light when inspecting the metal film on the surface of the item, thereby improving the inspection effect and speed. Not only can the conical turntable allow multiple items to be inspected for the metal film simultaneously, but multiple third pulleys are also subjected to the transmission force of the second transmission belt, enabling the items on multiple clamping mechanisms to rotate at the origin, ensuring that the outer surface of the items can be displayed during the inspection of multiple items, thus improving work efficiency.

[0017] In this invention, during the inspection, a light is turned on beforehand to illuminate the electroplated film and determine if the light transmittance is within acceptable limits. If the light transmittance of the outer electroplating layer of the item is unacceptable, the electroplating sensor will receive the reflected light from the outer electroplating layer. The worse the reflection, the better the light transmittance; conversely, the better the reflection, the worse the light transmittance. After receiving the poor reflection, the electroplating sensor transmits a signal to the controller, which then transmits the received signal to an indicator light, illuminating it. This indicates that the item next to the indicator light is unacceptable, clearly indicating to the workers which item is unacceptable without requiring them to constantly monitor the light. This reduces the need for workers to stare at the light for extended periods, preventing eye strain and improving safety. The clearly illuminated indicator light allows workers to easily identify and remove unacceptable items.

[0018] This invention facilitates automatic centralized collection, preventing items from randomly falling into various parts of the testing box and improving functionality. The arc-shaped baffle is designed to prevent items from detaching at the front end of the testing box and falling outside, driven by the conical turntable. Therefore, the arc-shaped baffle acts as a barrier to prevent detached items from falling outside the front end of the testing box. The arc-shaped baffle also facilitates the passage of items.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-12 The present invention is further illustrated by the embodiments: A method for detecting the light transmittance of electroplating is described below: S1. Placing and clamping items: The placement slot is suitable for placing items with a spherical or elliptical bottom, or objects with a flat bottom. The clamping mechanism fixes the items in place, preventing them from falling off during rotation. S2, Rotating Article Device: The rotating mechanism rotates the articles on multiple clamping mechanisms, enabling comprehensive inspection of the article surface; S3. Detection device: During the rotation of the item, the electroplating sensor receives the reflected light from the electroplating on the outside of the item. The signal from the detection of the metal film on the item is transmitted to the indicator light. The indicator light can accurately tell the staff which item is unqualified. S4. Item drop handling: The conical surface at the top of the conical turntable guides the dropped item into the bottom of the annular slide. The item then travels along the bottom of the annular slide to the front port of the detection box for automatic centralized collection. The above-mentioned process steps S1-S4 require the participation of a detection device to complete the corresponding detection operations. The detection device includes a detection box 1, with lighting lamps 11 evenly distributed in a circular array on the upper wall of the detection box 1, and an electroplating sensor 12 inclined on one side of the upper wall of the detection box 1; a central mechanism 2 is provided in the middle of the detection box 1; a rotating mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the detection box 1; and a clamping mechanism 4 is located directly opposite the lower end face of the lighting lamps 11. During testing, the illumination lamp 11 is turned on beforehand. The light from lamp 11 illuminates the electroplated film, indicating whether the light transmittance is acceptable. If the light transmittance of the outer electroplating layer of the item is unacceptable, the electroplating sensor 12 will receive the reflected light from the outer electroplating layer. The worse the reflection, the better the light transmittance; conversely, the better the reflection, the worse the light transmittance. After receiving the poor reflection, the electroplating sensor 12 transmits a signal to the controller. The controller then transmits the received signal to the indicator lamp 334, illuminating it. This indicates that the item next to the indicator lamp 334 is unacceptable, clearly indicating to the workers which item is unacceptable, eliminating the need for them to constantly stare at the light. This reduces the risk of eye strain and improves safety. The clear illumination of the indicator lamp 334 allows workers to easily identify and remove the unacceptable item.

[0022] In this embodiment, the central mechanism 2 includes an annular slide 21 supported by a support rod 22. The lower end face of the support rod 22 is connected to the boss surface at the bottom of the detection box 1. The outer ring wall of the annular slide 21 is slidably connected to a groove 24 opened on the lower end face of the arc baffle 23. The conical turntable 33 rotates in a circular motion, sequentially checking the electroplating sensor 12 for compliance. During this rotation, to prevent items from falling off the two clamping plates 452 due to issues like improper clamping or quality problems, the items fall onto the conical turntable 33. Since the upper surface of the turntable 33 is conical, the fallen items slide onto the annular slide 21 guided by the conical surface. Because the annular slide 21 is inclined towards the front of the detection box 1, items falling onto the annular slide 21 move towards the front of the detection box 1, facilitating automatic collection and preventing random drops, thus improving functionality. The arc-shaped baffle 23 prevents items from falling off at the front of the detection box 1 and outside, thus acting as a barrier.

[0023] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a servo motor 31 connected to the bottom of the detection box 1. The output end of the servo motor 31 is connected to a rotating shaft 32. The top end of the rotating shaft 32 is connected to a conical turntable 33. The lower end face of the conical turntable 33 is connected to a cylindrical shell 331. The cylindrical shell 331 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 32. A first pulley 34 is sleeved on the lower part of the outer side of the cylindrical shell 331. The first pulley 34 is connected to a second pulley 36 via a first transmission belt 35. A rotating rod 37 is sleeved on the inner side of the second pulley 36. A third pulley 361 is connected adjacent to the upper end of the second pulley 36. The inner side of the third pulley 361 is sleeved on the rotating rod 37. Several third pulleys 361 are evenly distributed in a circumferential array around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 32. The second pulley 36 is connected to multiple third pulleys 361 via a second transmission belt 362. After clamping the items, the items are inserted into the outer ring wall of the annular slide 21 through the groove 24 on the arc baffle 23. Then, the servo motor 31 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 32 and the conical turntable 33 to rotate (rotating slowly). The conical turntable 33 is driven by the force transmitted by the cylindrical shell 331 to the first pulley 34. The first pulley 34 is driven by the first transmission belt 35 to the second pulley 36. The rotation of the second pulley 36 drives the rotating rod 37. The rotation of the rotating rod 37 drives the third pulley 361. The third pulley 361 is driven by the second transmission belt 362 to transmit the force to multiple third pulleys 361. Through the force transmitted by the second transmission belt 362 to multiple third pulleys 361, the items on multiple clamping mechanisms 4 can rotate at the origin, ensuring that the outer surface of the items can be displayed in the detection of multiple items, thus improving work efficiency.

[0024] In this embodiment, the upper end of the rotating rod 37 passes through the through hole 332 inside the conical turntable 33, and a rotating shell 371 is sleeved on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating rod 37. The lower end face of the rotating shell 371 has a circumferential array of slots 372. A rolling ball 373 is rotatably connected inside the slot 372. The outer surface of the rolling ball 373 abuts against the rotating groove 333 opened on the upper end face of the conical turntable 33. The top end of the rotating rod 37 has a mounting hole 374. The bottom of the mounting hole 374 is connected to a first spring member 375. The upper end face of the first spring member 375 is connected to a transmission rod 376. The power of the rotating rod 37 is transmitted to the rotating shell 371. The slot 372 on the rotating shell 371 and the rotating ball 373 cooperate with each other, allowing the outer surface of the rolling ball 373 to roll at the bottom of the rotating groove 373. The rotating shell 371 performs a circular motion, avoiding excessive noise caused by the rotation of the rotating shell 371. The rolling ball 373 reduces friction, reduces rotation noise, and improves rotational smoothness. The power of the rotating rod 37 is also transmitted to the cylindrical shell 41, which rotates with the power of the rotating rod 37, ensuring that the entire outer surface is exposed during the electroplating of the inspected items. Its multiple third pulleys 361 are driven by the second transmission belt 362. The transmission force of the second drive belt 362 allows multiple items on the clamping mechanism 4 to rotate at the origin, ensuring that the outer surface of the items is displayed during the detection of multiple items. This is more conducive to the detection of the electroplating sensor 12 and eliminates the need for manual repeated illumination of each item with light, thus improving the detection effect and speed. Not only can the conical turntable 33 detect the metal film of multiple items simultaneously, but the multiple third pulleys 361 are also subjected to the transmission force of the second drive belt 362, allowing multiple items on the clamping mechanism 4 to rotate at the origin, ensuring that the outer surface of the items is displayed during the detection of multiple items, thus improving work efficiency.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lower outer side of the transmission rod 376 is formed with a convex surface 3761 and a groove surface 3762, and the upper surface of the transmission rod 376 is provided with a placement groove 3763. Lifting rods 3764 are connected to both sides of the upper outer surface of the transmission rod 376. The placement groove is suitable for placing items with a spherical or elliptical bottom, and can also hold objects with a flat bottom. The clamping mechanism fixes the items in place, preventing them from falling during rotation.

[0026] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 4 includes a cylindrical shell 41 supported by the top of the rotating rod 37. Openings 42 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the cylindrical shell 41, and a transmission plate 421 is provided inside the cylindrical shell 41. A V-shaped abutment 422 is formed in the middle of the transmission plate 421. A transmission plate 423 is connected to the upper end of the V-shaped abutment 422, and a buckle plate 424 is connected to the lower end of the V-shaped abutment 422. The buckle plate 424 is made of a soft material, and a sliding block 425 is connected to the lower end of the buckle plate 424. The sliding block 425 is slidably connected to a slide rail groove 4252 opened on the upper end of the support plate 4251, and the sliding block 425 is connected to one side wall of the slide rail groove 4252 by a second spring member 426. The convex surface 3761 on the outer side of the transmission rod 376 first abuts against the V-shaped abutment plate 422 on the transmission plate 421. The V-shaped abutment plate 422, under the abutting force, slides along the slide rail groove 4252 through the sliding block 425 towards the buckle groove 431 and is stretched by the second spring member 426 (and the buckle plate 424 on the transmission plate 421 is relatively tough and is always abutted by the lower end face of the fixing plate 43). The transmission rod 376 continues to move downward, allowing the V-shaped abutment plate 422 to slide past the convex surface 3761. Just as the outer side of the buckle plate 424 abuts against the inner side of the buckle groove 431, after the V-shaped abutment plate 422 abuts against the groove surface 3762, the rounded end of one side of the buckle plate 424 abuts against the inner side of the buckle groove 431 through the pull-back property of the second spring member 426. At this time, the outer sides of the two V-shaped abutment plates 422 are stably clamped in the groove surface 3762, preventing the transmission rod 376 from moving upward after no force is applied.

[0027] In this embodiment, the outer side of the buckle plate 424 abuts against the fixing plate 43. A buckle groove 431 is provided on the lower end face of one side of the fixing plate 43. An abutment groove 432 is obliquely passed through the inner side of the buckle groove 431. A T-shaped block 433 is slidably connected inside the abutment groove 432. A third spring member 4331 is connected to the lower end face of the top cover of the T-shaped block 433. The lower end face of the third spring member 4331 is connected to the upper end face of the fixing plate 43. The two end faces of the fixing plate 43 are connected to the first support wall plate 434. One side of the two first support wall plates 434 is connected to the lower part of the port of the opening 42. The two sides of the support plate 4251 are connected to the opposite sides of the two support wall plates 434. The outer side of the buckle plate 424 abuts against the lower end face of the T-shaped block 433. The T-shaped block 433 moves upward through the transmission direction of the contact groove 432 under the force. The top cover on the T-shaped block 433 is stretched by the third spring member 4331. After the V-shaped abutment plate 422 abuts against the groove surface 3762, the rounded end of the buckle plate 424 abuts against the inner side of the buckle groove 431 through the pull-back property of the second spring member 426, effectively preventing the transmission plate 421 from automatically moving to its original position, and has a self-locking function. After the inspection, hold the item with your left hand and apply upward force by gripping the lifting rod 3764 with your right hand. The V-shaped abutment 422 slides from the groove surface 3762 over the convex surface 3761, allowing you to remove the item. After removing the item, release the lifting rod 3764, which returns to its original position using the first spring 375. Then, press down on the T-shaped block 433, causing its lower end to abut against the outer side of the buckle plate 424, pressing the buckle plate 424 downward. The T-shaped block 433 pushes the buckle plate 424 to slide past the buckle groove 431, causing the buckle plate 424 to abut against the lower end of the fixing plate 43. The buckle plate 424 then returns to its original position via the second spring 426.

[0028] In this embodiment, one side of the transmission plate 423 abuts against a V-shaped rotating plate 44. The V-shaped rotating plate 44 is connected to a second support wall plate via a fixed shaft. One side of the second support wall plate is connected to the upper part of the port of the opening 42. The V-shaped rotating plate 44 is connected to a limiting plate 442 via a fourth spring member 441. The two sides of the width of the limiting plate 442 are connected to the opposite surfaces of the two second support wall plates. One end face of the V-shaped rotating plate 44 has equidistant limiting holes 45 along its width direction. A telescopic rod 451 is slidably connected inside the limiting hole 45. One end of the telescopic rod 451 is connected to a clamping plate 452. The opposite surfaces of the clamping plate 452 and the V-shaped rotating plate 44 are connected to a fifth spring member 453. The fifth spring member 453 is intersecting and located in the space of multiple telescopic rods 451 at equal intervals. During the movement of the transfer plate 421, one side of the transmission plate 423 on the transfer plate 421 abuts against one side of the lower part of the V-shaped rotating plate 44. The V-shaped rotating plate 44 rotates downwards on the fixed shaft under force, and the other side of the lower part of the V-shaped rotating plate 44 presses against the fourth spring. The upper side of the V-shaped rotating plate 44 drives the telescopic rod 451, the fifth spring 453, and the clamping plate 452 to rotate downwards. After the outer side of the V-shaped abutment plate 422 abuts against the groove surface 3762, the inner side of the clamping plate 452 just... The clamping plate 452 is positioned against the lower end of the item. Due to the design of the telescopic rod 451, the fifth spring 453, and the limiting hole 45, items of different sizes can be clamped. If the item is large, the inner side of the clamping plate 452 first abuts against the lower end of the item. Since the clamping plate 452 moves with the transfer plate 421 and rotates through the V-shaped rotating plate 44, it is designed to prevent the clamping plate 452 from being unable to hold the item or from damaging the item if the item is too large. This improves functionality, reduces the damage rate of the item, and completes the clamping work. The V-shaped abutment 422, transmission plate 423, and buckle plate 424 on the transmission plate 421 work together to complete the clamping operation. First, the V-shaped abutment 422 can be stably clamped on the groove surface 3762 of the transmission rod 376, preventing the transmission rod 376 from automatically returning to its original position without pressure. Second, the transmission plate 423 can transmit the power of the V-shaped rotating plate 44, allowing the clamping plate 452 to complete the clamping operation. Third, the buckle plate 424 can ensure that the V-shaped abutment 422 is always clamped on the transmission rod 376, and also ensure that the transmission plate 423 is always in contact with the V-shaped rotating plate 44.

[0029] In this embodiment, a signal light 334 is connected in a circumferential array on the upper surface of the conical turntable 33, and the signal light 334 is located on the periphery of the rotating housing 371. The clear illumination of the signal light 334 can indicate to the staff which item is defective, allowing them to easily and clearly remove the item.

[0030] The specific working principle of this invention includes the following process: In the metal film inspection process, the item is first placed on the placement slot 3763. The item's pressure point presses down on the transmission rod 376. The force exerted by the transmission rod 376 is transmitted to the transmission plate 421 on the clamping mechanism 4. The transmission plate 421 then transmits this force to the V-shaped rotating plate 44. The force on the V-shaped rotating plate 44 is transmitted to the clamping plate 452, which clamps the item tightly. After clamping, the servo motor 31 is activated, driving the conical turntable 33 and simultaneously the first pulley 34. The first pulley 34 is driven by the first transmission belt 35 to the second pulley 36. The rotation of the second pulley 36 drives the rotating rod 37, which in turn drives the third pulley 361. The third pulley 361 is driven by the second transmission belt 362 to multiple third pulleys 361. Multiple clamping mechanisms 4 rotate the item at the origin. The lighting 11 is turned on in advance so that the electroplating sensor 12 can receive the reflection of the metal film on the item. If the reflection is poor, the electroplating sensor 12 transmits the signal to the controller. The controller transmits the received signal to the indicator light 334 to light it up. When the conical turntable 33 rotates, in order to avoid accidents such as the item not being clamped or the item having quality problems, the item will fall into the two clamping plates 452. The fallen item falls onto the conical turntable 33. Because the upper end of the conical turntable 33 is a conical surface, the fallen item will slide down onto the annular slide 21 guided by the conical surface. Since the annular slide 21 is inclined towards the front port of the detection box 1, the items that fall onto the annular slide 21 move towards the front port of the detection box 1 and are collected.

[0031] Beneficial effects of this invention: In this invention, firstly, the electroplated item is placed in the placement slot 3763. The placement slot is suitable for placing items with a spherical or elliptical bottom, or items with a flat bottom. After placement, the transfer rod 376 is pressed downwards by the point of force applied by the item. The transfer rod 376 moves downwards under pressure and presses against the first spring 375. While the transfer rod 376 moves, the convex surface 3761 on the outer side of the transfer rod 376 first abuts against the V-shaped abutment 422 on the transfer plate 421. The V-shaped abutment 422, under the abutment force, slides along the slide rail groove 4252 through the sliding block 425 towards the latching groove 431 and is stretched against the second spring. Spring 426, the transmission rod 376 continues to move downward, allowing the V-shaped abutment 422 to slide over the round convex surface 3761, so that the outer side of the buckle 424 just touches the inner side of the buckle groove 431. The outer side of the buckle 424 touches the lower end face of the T-shaped block 433. The T-shaped block 433 moves upward through the transmission direction of the abutment groove 432. The top cover side of the T-shaped block 433 is stretched by the third spring 4331. After the V-shaped abutment 422 touches the groove surface 3762, the rounded end of one side of the buckle 424 touches the inner side of the buckle groove 431 through the pull-back property of the second spring 426, effectively preventing the transmission plate 421 from automatically moving to its original position, and has a self-locking function.

[0032] In this invention, the outer sides of the two V-shaped abutments 422 are stably clamped within the groove surface 3762, preventing the transmission rod 376 from moving upwards without applying force. During the movement of the transmission plate 421, one side of the transmission plate 423 on the transmission plate 421 abuts against one side of the lower part of the V-shaped rotating plate 44. The V-shaped rotating plate 44 rotates downwards on the fixed shaft under force, and the other side of the lower part of the V-shaped rotating plate 44 presses against the fourth spring member 441. The upper side of the V-shaped rotating plate 44 drives the telescopic rod 451, the fifth spring member 453, and the clamping plate 452 to rotate downwards. After the outer side of 422 abuts against the groove surface 3762, the inner side of the clamping plate 452 just abuts against the lower end of the item. Due to the setting of the telescopic rod 451, the fifth spring 453, and the limiting hole 45, items of different sizes can be clamped. If the item is large, the inner side of the clamping plate 452 first abuts against the lower end of the item. Since the clamping plate 452 moves with the transfer plate 421 and rotates through the V-shaped rotating plate 44, in order to avoid the clamping plate 452 being unable to hold the item or damaging the item due to the large size of the item, the functionality is improved, the damage rate of the item is reduced, and the item clamping work is completed.

[0033] In this invention, after clamping the item, the item is inserted into the outer ring wall of the annular slide 21 via the groove 24 on the arc baffle 23. Then, the servo motor 31 is started, driving the rotating shaft 32 and the conical turntable 33 to rotate. The conical turntable 33 is driven by the force transmitted through the cylindrical shell 331 to the first pulley 34. The first pulley 34 is driven by the first transmission belt 35 to the second pulley 36. The rotational power of the second pulley 36 drives the rotating rod 37, which in turn drives the third pulley 361. The third pulley 361 is driven by the second transmission belt 362 to transmit power to multiple third pulleys 361. At the same time, the power of the rotating rod 37 is transmitted to the rotating shell 371, which has slots 372 and rolling balls 373. The rotational engagement allows the outer surface of the rolling ball 373 to roll at the bottom of the rotating groove 333, while the rotating shell 371 performs a circular motion. This avoids excessive noise caused by the rotation of the rotating shell 371. The rolling ball 373 reduces friction, lowers the noise of rotation, and improves the smoothness of rotation. The power of the rotating rod 37 is transmitted to the cylindrical shell 41, which rotates with the power of the rotating rod 37. This ensures that the outer surface of the detected item is fully displayed during electroplating. The multiple third pulleys 361 are transmitted by the second transmission belt 362, allowing the items on the multiple clamping mechanisms 4 to rotate around the origin. This ensures that the outer surface of the items is displayed during the detection of multiple items, which is more conducive to the detection of the electroplating sensor 12.

[0034] In this invention, during the inspection, the illumination lamp 11 is turned on in advance. The light from the illumination lamp 11 illuminates the electroplated film to determine whether the light transmittance is up to standard. If the light transmittance of the electroplated outer side of the item is not up to standard, the electroplating sensor 12 will receive the reflected light from the electroplated outer side of the item. The worse the reflection effect, the better the light transmittance of the electroplating; conversely, the better the reflection effect, the worse the light transmittance of the electroplating. After the electroplating sensor 12 receives the poor reflection, it transmits the signal to the controller. The controller then transmits the received signal to the indicator lamp 334 to light it up, indicating that the item next to the indicator lamp 334 is unqualified. This clearly tells the staff which item is unqualified without requiring the staff to keep watching it.

[0035] In this invention, the conical turntable 33 rotates circumferentially, sequentially allowing the electroplating sensor 12 to detect whether the items are qualified. During the rotation of the conical turntable 33, to prevent accidental items from falling between the two clamping plates 452 due to issues such as improper clamping or quality problems, the items fall onto the conical turntable 33. Since the upper surface of the conical turntable 33 is conical, the fallen items slide onto the annular slide 21 guided by the conical surface. Because the annular slide 21 is inclined towards the front port of the detection box 1, the items falling onto the annular slide 21 move towards the front port of the detection box 1, which facilitates automatic centralized collection and prevents items from falling randomly into various parts of the detection box 1, thus improving functionality.
