Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electroplating technology, specifically to a silver-plated copper wire drying device that is easy to replace. Background Technology

[0002] Silver-plated copper wire is a product in which a layer of silver is plated onto the surface of copper wire through an electroplating process. This treatment can give the copper wire better conductivity, oxidation resistance, and appearance. Under the action of current, silver ions in the electroplating solution react chemically with the copper wire to form metallic silver, which is uniformly adsorbed on the surface of the copper wire, completing the silver plating process. Since the copper wire is immersed in the electroplating solution throughout the electroplating process, the surface of the silver-plated copper wire contains a certain amount of moisture. However, copper is prone to oxidation in a humid environment, forming copper oxide, which reduces the conductivity of the copper wire. Therefore, it is necessary to dry the silver-plated copper wire.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN115961319A, which discloses an easy-to-replace silver-plated copper wire drying device. The device includes an assembly base, an electroplating mechanism, a drying mechanism, and a winding mechanism. The electroplating mechanism includes a rectangular assembly frame fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the assembly base. This invention utilizes a battery pack to power electrodes, allowing the two electrodes to react with the electroplating liquid inside a circular electroplating tank, thus achieving the sound-drying of the copper wire. An anisotropic positioning ring is provided on the circular electroplating tank to guide the movement of the copper wire. The sidewall of the anisotropic positioning ring has rounded edges to reduce resistance to the movement of the copper wire, making its movement smoother and ensuring successful electroplating within the circular electroplating tank, thereby improving the convenience of the electroplating process.

[0004] However, in this application, before the copper wire is silver-plated and dried, it is necessary to manually pass the copper wire through the rectangular assembly frame, rectangular support plate, support leg and rectangular support base in sequence to give the copper wire a predetermined guide before the copper wire can be automatically transported through the above structure, which consumes a lot of manpower. Summary of the Invention

A clamp is rotatably connected inside the rotating shaft. A fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the other end of the inner wall of the moving block, and the top end of the fixed shaft passes through the middle of the clamp.

[0008] Preferably, the drying mechanism includes a heating chamber, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the top wall of the conveyor table. A movable chamber is slidably connected inside the heating chamber, and both the heating chamber and the movable chamber have through holes on their outer walls.

[0009] Preferably, the winding mechanism includes a support plate, two support plates are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the top wall of the conveyor table, a servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of one support plate, the output end of the servo motor passes through the support plate and is fixedly connected to a turntable, a stop bar is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the turntable, a fixing column is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of one support plate, a core is rotatably connected to one end of the fixing column, a plurality of slots are equidistantly opened on the outer wall of the core, the top end of a long rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the core, the end of the long rod is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the other support plate, and a take-up and untake-down tray is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the long rod.

[0010] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a support rod, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the top wall of the conveyor table. A limit frame is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod. A movable strip is provided inside the limit frame. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the movable strip. A roller is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame.

[0011] Preferably, the drying mechanism further includes a slot, which is formed on the top wall of the conveyor table, and a block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the moving chamber, the block being slidably connected inside the slot.

[0012] Preferably, the support mechanism further includes a cavity, which is formed on the inner wall of the limiting frame.

The moving strip is slidably connected inside the cavity.

[0013] Preferably, the winding mechanism further includes a support plate, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the turntable.

[0014] Working Principle: Servo motor 2 drives the threaded rod to rotate periodically clockwise and counterclockwise. Under the limitation of the sliding groove on the moving block, the moving block moves left and right. When the moving block hits the inner wall of one end of the sliding groove, spring 1 is compressed and contracts, causing the distance between the slider and the rotating shaft 1 to decrease. Guided by the inner wall of the limiting groove, rocker arm 1 drives fixed column 2 to slide from one end of the limiting groove to the other end. At the same time, the slider drives fixed column 3 to feed, causing the clamping ends of the two clamps to move away from each other with their corresponding fixed axes as fixed points. When the moving block hits the inner wall of the other end of the sliding groove, fixed column 2 completes the unidirectional movement in the limiting groove again, causing fixed column 3 to retract, causing the clamping ends of the two clamps to move closer to each other with their corresponding fixed axes as fixed points, thus completing the clamping of the copper wire. The unidirectional clamping mechanism eliminates the need for manual guidance of the copper wire. During the drying process, the guiding mechanism provides support, preventing the wire from bending downwards due to gravity and causing surface scratches. After guidance, the operator secures the wire to the take-up / take-out reel. A servo motor then drives the turntable to rotate. During this rotation, a stop bar performs a circular motion, intermittently squeezing the empty slots to control the intermittent rotation of the mechanism. This intermittent rotation of the take-up / take-out reel allows for intermittent winding of the copper wire, extending the drying time within the drying mechanism and improving the drying effect. This results in better removal of moisture and residue from the copper wire surface, further enhancing the overall drying process.

[0015] This invention provides an easily replaceable drying device for silver-plated copper wire. It offers the following advantages:

[0016] 1. Through the relevant settings of the guiding mechanism, the present invention completes the unidirectional movement clamping of the copper wires when multiple copper wires are dried and replaced in sequence, without the need for manual guidance of the copper wires. At the same time, during the drying process of the same copper wire, the guiding mechanism can repeatedly provide support force to the copper wire, avoiding the copper wire from bending downwards due to gravity and causing its surface to be scratched.

[0017] 2. Through the relevant settings of the winding mechanism, this invention realizes the stopping and winding of copper wire, extends the drying time of copper wire in the heating environment, and improves the drying effect of copper wire.

[0018] 3. By cooperating with each other in the heating chamber, moving chamber, slot and block in the drying mechanism, the present invention can change the overlap distance between the heating chamber and the moving chamber. When the overlap distance is compressed, the drying time of the copper wire in the heating environment is extended, which further improves the drying effect of the copper wire.

[0019] 4. Through the relevant settings in the support mechanism, this invention achieves support for one end of copper wires of different diameters, further reducing the possibility of copper wire scratching. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 8 This invention provides a convenient silver-plated copper wire drying device, including a conveyor table 1. A guide mechanism 4 is provided on the top of the conveyor table 1 to guide the replacement copper wire. A drying mechanism 3 is provided in the middle of the conveyor table 1 to provide a drying environment for the copper wire. A winding mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveyor table 1 to wind up the dried copper wire. A support mechanism 5 is provided at the other end of the conveyor table 1 to support the copper wire.

[0032] The guiding mechanism 4 includes a slide 401, which is located in the middle of the top wall of the conveyor table 1. A servo motor 414 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide 401. A threaded rod 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 414. A moving block 403 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 402. One end of a spring 404 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the moving block 403. A slider 409 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 404. The slider 409 is slidably connected inside the moving block 403. A rotating shaft 405 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the moving block 403. The top end of the rocker arm 406 is rotatably connected to the inside of the slider 409. The end of the rocker arm 406 is fixedly connected to the second fixed post 407. The top wall of the slider 409 has a limit groove 408. The second fixed post 407 is slidably connected inside the limit groove 408. The outer wall of the slider 409 is fixedly connected to one side of the third fixed post 410. The front and rear sides of one end of the outer wall of the third fixed post 410 are fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 411. The inside of the second rotating shaft 411 is rotatably connected to the clamp 412. The other end of the inner wall of the moving block 403 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 413. The top end of the fixed shaft 413 passes through the middle of the clamp 412.

[0033] Specifically, servo motor 414 starts and drives threaded rod 402 to rotate periodically clockwise and counterclockwise. Under the limitation of sliding groove 401 on moving block 403, moving block 403 moves left and right. When moving block 403 hits the inner wall of one end of sliding groove 401, spring 404 is compressed and contracts, causing the distance between slider 409 and rotating shaft 405 to decrease. Guided by the inner wall of limiting groove 408, rocker arm 406 drives fixed post 407 to slide from one end of limiting groove 408 to the other end. When the slider 409 drives the fixed column 410 to feed, the clamping ends of the two clamps 412 move away from each other with the corresponding fixed axis 413 as the fixed point. When the moving block 403 hits the inner wall of the other end of the slide groove 401, the fixed column 407 completes the unidirectional movement in the limiting groove 408 again, causing the fixed column 410 to retract, and driving the clamping ends of the two clamps 412 to move closer to each other with the corresponding fixed axis 413 as the fixed point, thus completing the unidirectional movement clamping of the copper wire without the need for manual guidance of the copper wire.

[0034] The drying mechanism 3 includes a heating chamber 301, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the top wall of the conveyor 1. A movable chamber 302 is slidably connected inside the heating chamber 301. Both the heating chamber 301 and the movable chamber 302 have through holes 305 on their outer walls.

[0035] Specifically, after the heating chamber 301 is powered on, the internal temperature rises. The heating chamber 301 and the moving chamber 302 form a drying space. The overlap distance between the two can be changed by removing the moving chamber 302, thereby changing the volume of the heating environment. After the copper wire passes through the through hole 305, the drying is completed. The adjustability of the drying mechanism 3 further improves the drying effect of the copper wire.

[0036] The winding mechanism 2 includes a support plate 201. Two support plates 201 are fixedly connected to one end of the top wall of the conveyor table 1. A servo motor 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of one support plate 201. The output end of the servo motor 202 passes through the support plate 201 and is fixedly connected to a turntable 203. A stop bar 207 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the turntable 203. A fixing column 204 is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of one support plate 201. One end of the fixing column 204 is rotatably connected to a core 205. Multiple slots 206 are equidistantly opened on the outer wall of the core 205. The top end of a long rod 209 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the core 205. The end of the long rod 209 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the other support plate 201. A take-up and untake-down tray 210 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the long rod 209.

[0037] Specifically, after the copper wire is manually fixed to the take-up and unwrap reel 210, the servo motor 202 starts and drives the turntable 203 to rotate. During the rotation of the turntable 203, the stop bar 207 makes a circular motion. Through the intermittent compression of the empty slot 206 by the stop bar 207, the intermittent rotation control of the mechanism 205 is completed. The intermittent rotation of the take-up and unwrap reel 210 realizes the intermittent winding of the copper wire, prolongs the drying time of the copper wire in the drying mechanism 3, and improves the drying effect of the copper wire.

[0038] The support mechanism 5 includes a support rod 501, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the top wall of the conveyor table 1. A limit frame 502 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 501. A moving strip 503 is provided inside the limit frame 502. A fixed frame 504 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the moving strip 503. A roller 505 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame 504.

[0039] Specifically, after the copper wire passes through the limiting frame 502, the rollers 505 at both ends are in contact with the copper wire. The rolling nature of the rollers 505 reduces the friction between the copper wire and the outside world, providing support to one end of the copper wire while further reducing the scraping phenomenon of the copper wire.

[0040] The drying mechanism 3 also includes a slot 303, which is located on the top wall of the conveyor 1. A block 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the moving chamber 302, and the block 304 is slidably connected inside the slot 303.

[0041] Specifically, the slot 303 restricts the movable distance of the card block 304, thereby limiting the movement of the movable chamber 302 and preventing the movable chamber 302 from falling off from the heating chamber 301, which would cause the drying gas to dissipate and reduce the drying effect of the copper wire.

[0042] The support mechanism 5 also includes a cavity 506, which is formed on the inner wall of the limiting frame 502. One end of a second spring 507 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 506, and the other end of the second spring 507 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the moving bar 503. The moving bar 503 is slidably connected inside the cavity 506.

[0043] Specifically, when copper wires of different diameters pass through the limiting frame 502, different pressures are applied to the second spring 507. The internal space of the cavity 506 increases the space through which the copper wires can pass, thereby improving the applicability of the drying device.

[0044] The winding mechanism 2 also includes a support plate 208, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the turntable 203.

[0045] Specifically, the support plate 208 rotates with the turntable 203. When the stop bar 207 does not press the empty slot 206, the support plate 208 provides support to the outer wall of the mechanism 205, preventing the winding and unwinding plate 210 from rotating in the opposite direction due to the pulling force of the copper wire, thus improving the winding effect of the copper wire.

[0046] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
