[0046] S50 , laser engraving is performed on the light-transmitting area 212 of the component, and the paint layer is removed at the same time to make the surface smooth, so as to achieve the concealment of the light-transmitting area 212 .
[0047] The electroplating steps include:
[0048] (1) The two-color injection molded component is sent to a degreasing tank to remove oil from its surface and then subjected to surface roughening treatment. After the roughening treatment is completed, it is sent to a neutralization tank for neutralization treatment;
[0049] (2) activating the above-mentioned two-color injection molded component with a palladium activator and then debonding it to dissolve the components adsorbed on the outer layer of the palladium colloid core;
[0050] (3) The two-color injection molded component is transferred to a chrome plating tank to complete chrome plating.
[0051] Specifically, in step (1), the degreasing operation comprises: immersing the automobile plastic parts in a degreasing tank at 45-70° C., and subjecting them to ultrasonic treatment at a frequency of 10 KHz-30 KHz for 12 minutes, wherein the degreasing tank contains 35-65 g / L of chemical degreasing powder and 3-8 mL / L of modified surfactant; and the roughening operation comprises: ultrasonically cleaning the degreasing automobile plastic parts for 8 minutes, and then soaking them in 3-8 mL / L of modified surfactant for 25-40 minutes, and then ultrasonically cleaning them for 8 minutes after soaking, and then immersing the automobile plastic parts in a roughening tank at 55-75° C., wherein the roughening tank contains 350-500 g / L of chromic anhydride and 300-450 g / L of sulfuric acid.

[0060] It should be noted that the cross-section of the raised seat 124 and the guide groove 125 is in a "concave" shape, the inclined edge 126 is stepped, the cross-section of the assembly seat 121, the two side panels 122 and the raised seat 124 is in a "mountain" shape, and the assembly seat 121 and the raised seat 124 are hollow, which can reduce the weight and the material cost of the tooling.
[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the first rib 111 and the second rib 112 are fixedly connected with a reinforcing rib 113 and a mounting seat 114 on one side away from the raised seat 124. The reinforcing rib 113 can enhance the toughness of the first rib 111 and the second rib 112 to prevent bending after the multiple assembly parts 120 are assembled with the two-color injection molding components. The mounting seat 114 can be conveniently installed and fixed on the laser engraving base.
[0062] Example 6
[0063] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the present invention proposes a light-transmitting process of chrome-plating and then painting the surface of a two-color material. Compared with Example 5, the two-color injection molding component of this embodiment includes a pressing portion 210 and a supporting portion 220. The pressing portion 210 includes an outer shell 211, and the outer shell 211 is provided with a light-transmitting area 212, and the outer surface of the outer shell 211 is provided with an anti-slip protrusion 213. The supporting portion 220 includes a supporting plate 221, and the two supporting plates 221 are both fixed in the inner wall of the outer shell 211, and the side of the support plate 221 away from the outer shell 211 is adapted to the slot 123.
[0064] Specifically, the outer shell 211 is in a "V" shape, and the width of the support plate 221 is adapted to the length of the slot 123 so that it can be inserted therein. At the same time, the cavity formed by the outer shell 211 and the two support plates 221 is adapted to the raised seat 124, wherein the inclined edge 126 matches the inclined edge of the outer shell 211, so that the outer shell 211 and the support plate 221 are more stable when inserted therein.
[0065] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the outer surface of the assembly seat 121 is provided with a positioning groove located in the guide groove 125, and the inner wall of the outer shell 211 is fixedly connected with a guide bar 214, which is adapted to the guide groove 125 and plugged into the positioning groove. The support plate 221 is provided with a first assembly hole 222 and a second assembly hole 223, and the support plate 221 is provided with an assembly groove 224 on one side close to the slot 123.
[0066] Specifically, the guide bar 214 cooperates with the guide groove 125 to guide the outer shell 211 and the support plate 221 during the assembly process with the assembly seat 121, so that they can be assembled together more quickly. The assembly groove 224 makes one side of the support plate 221 thinner, making it elastic and increasing the friction with the slot 123.
[0067] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but not to limit them.
