Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electroplating devices, and specifically refers to a self-adaptive immersion electroplating device. Background Art

[0002] Electroplating refers to the process of immersing the workpiece in the electroplating solution and then applying electricity, which eventually causes metal ions to deposit on the surface of the workpiece to form a coating. For workpieces with a single geometric shape (such as a cube, cylinder, etc.), the larger the size of the workpiece, the heavier the mass, and the larger the surface area, the longer the electroplating time will take.

[0003] For some workpieces with similar specifications, many factories do not adjust the specific electroplating time for each workpiece in order to simplify the production steps. This is because it is quite cumbersome to adapt separate technical parameters to each workpiece with similar sizes. Many mixed production lines require frequent shutdowns to switch parameters.

[0004] However, if it is not adapted in this way, the surface coating thickness of the workpiece will be inconsistent. If the difference is small, it will affect the consistency of the product and cannot be used in high-end industries with high precision and high requirements. If the difference is large, both too small and too large coating thickness will lead to reduced durability of the coating. If the electroplating layer is too thin, the protective ability will be insufficient. If the electroplating layer is too thick, it is prone to quality defects such as cracks and peeling.

[0005] Therefore, if a technical solution can be proposed that can automatically adjust the electroplating time according to the condition of the workpiece, it will be able to greatly improve product quality while ensuring production efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention proposes an adaptive immersion electroplating equipment based on weight sensing that can automatically adjust the electroplating duration; compared with the traditional, constant electroplating time, this solution can actively adjust and compensate the electroplating duration according to the weight change of the workpiece, thereby greatly reducing the thickness fluctuation caused by the change of the workpiece surface area.

[0007] In order to continuously maintain the matching of movement speeds among various mechanisms during the change of electroplating duration, the present invention proposes a driving scheme based on a motor. Through mechanical linkage, while the driving motor is continuously and stably rotating, the driving force of the driving motor is utilized to simultaneously drive the "lifting and lowering movement mechanism", "rotating and toggling mechanism" and "loading and unloading conveying mechanism", which not only simplifies the structure, but also achieves the matching of movement speeds among various structures without any electronic feedback and control module.

[0008] Moreover, the present invention creatively proposes an intermittent reciprocating lifting mechanism and a gravity-sensing speed regulating mechanism. The gravity-sensing component senses the self-weight of the workpiece, and based on this, adjusts the rotational resistance of the external gear ring, thereby achieving the technical effect of real-time and dynamic adjustment of the output speed of the output shaft bracket.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: The present invention proposes an adaptive immersion electroplating device, including an intermittent reciprocating lifting mechanism, a gravity-sensing speed regulating mechanism, a rotary dialing mechanism, a loading and unloading mechanism, and an electroplating tank. The intermittent reciprocating lifting mechanism is arranged in the electroplating tank, the gravity-sensing speed regulating mechanism is arranged outside the electroplating tank, the rotary dialing mechanism is arranged on the gravity-sensing speed regulating mechanism, the loading and unloading mechanism is arranged on the intermittent reciprocating lifting mechanism, and the loading and unloading mechanism is located on both sides of the intermittent reciprocating lifting mechanism.

[0010] Further, the intermittent reciprocating lifting mechanism includes a self-returning lifting component, a gravity-sensing component, and an intermittent reciprocating lifting component. The self-returning lifting component is arranged at the bottom of the electroplating tank, the gravity-sensing component is arranged on the self-returning lifting component, and the intermittent reciprocating lifting component is arranged at the bottom of the electroplating tank.

[0011] The intermittent reciprocating lifting mechanism can sense the weight of the workpiece, and through the sensing of the self-weight of the workpiece, adaptively adjust the duration of electroplating.

[0012] Preferably, the self-returning lifting component includes a lifting guide rod, a lifting platform, and a platform return spring. The lifting guide rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the electroplating tank. The lifting platform is engaged and slidably arranged on the lifting guide rod. The platform return spring is sleeved on the lifting guide rod and is arranged between the lifting platform and the electroplating tank. One side of the lifting platform is provided with a countersunk nut groove, and nut guide rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the countersunk nut groove. A central square groove is arranged at the middle position of the lifting platform, and a central ramp portion is arranged on one side of the central square groove.

[0013] As a further preference of the present invention, the gravity-sensing component includes a hoisting bottom shell, a pressure-sensing loading platform, a loading platform return spring, and a conducting hose. The hoisting bottom shell is fixedly connected below the central square groove. The pressure-sensing loading platform is engaged and slidably arranged in the central square groove. The loading platform return spring is arranged between the hoisting bottom shell and the pressure-sensing loading platform. One end of the conducting hose is arranged at the bottom of the hoisting bottom shell.

[0014] The gravity-sensing component can sense the mass of the workpiece placed on the pressure-sensing loading platform. With the difference in the mass of the workpiece, the position height of the pressure-sensing loading platform relative to the hoisting bottom shell will also change. And during the movement of the pressure-sensing loading platform relative to the hoisting bottom shell, the flow of compressed gas in the hoisting bottom shell and the side chute is controlled through the conducting hose.

[0015] Preferably, the intermittent reciprocating lifting assembly includes a lifting drive nut, a bidirectional stud, a stud rotating base, and a driven bevel gear. The lifting drive nut is engaged and slidably disposed on the nut guide rod. The stud rotating base is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the electroplating tank. The bidirectional stud is rotatably disposed in the stud rotating base. The lifting drive nut and the bidirectional stud are in threaded cooperation. The driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to the top of the bidirectional stud.

[0016] Through the transmission of the bidirectional stud, the technical effect of reciprocating lifting of the lifting drive nut can be achieved when the bidirectional stud rotates continuously in one direction; and the lifting drive nut can continue to rise a certain height alone after the lifting platform rises to the top, so that the intermittent lifting of the lifting platform can be achieved when the lifting drive nut lifts continuously.

[0017] Further, the loading and unloading mechanism includes a belt conveying assembly and a belt transmission assembly. The belt transmission assembly is disposed between the belt conveying assembly and the rotating disc. The belt conveying assembly includes a conveying support, conveying rollers, a conveying belt, and a driven gear. The conveying support is fixedly connected to both sides of the electroplating tank. The conveying rollers are rotatably disposed on the conveying support. The conveying belt is rolled on the conveying rollers. The driven gear is fixedly connected to the shaft of the conveying roller.

[0018] Through the linkage of the transmission belt, the movement speeds of the conveying belts on both sides can always be matched with the lifting speed of the lifting platform.

[0019] Preferably, the belt transmission assembly includes a transmission support, a driving belt pulley, a driven belt pulley, a transmission belt, and a driving gear. The transmission support is fixedly connected to the outside of the conveying support. The driving belt pulley is fixedly connected to the rotating disc. The driven belt pulley and the driving gear are both rotatably disposed on the transmission support. The driven belt pulley and the driving gear are fixedly connected between them. The transmission belt is rolled between the driving belt pulley and the driven belt pulley.

[0020] Further, the gravity sensing speed regulating mechanism includes a driving assembly, a variable speed transmission assembly, and a speed ratio adjusting assembly. The driving assembly is disposed on the side of the electroplating tank. The variable speed transmission assembly is disposed on the driving assembly. The speed ratio adjusting assembly is disposed on the driving assembly.

[0021] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a motor mounting plate, a driving motor, and a central gear. The motor mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the electroplating tank. The driving motor is disposed on the motor mounting plate. The central gear is disposed on the output shaft of the driving motor.

[0022] As a further preference of the present invention, the variable speed transmission assembly includes an output shaft bracket, a planetary gear, an external gear ring, and a driving bevel gear. The external gear ring is rotatably arranged in the speed ratio adjustment assembly. The planetary gear meshes with the central gear, and the planetary gear meshes with the external gear ring. The planetary gear is located between the central gear and the external gear ring. The driving bevel gear is snap-fitted on the output shaft bracket, and the driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear are engaged for transmission.

[0023] The transmission mechanism between the driving motor and the external gear ring is actually a deformation of the planetary reducer. By adjusting the rotational resistance of the external gear ring, the technical purpose of adaptively adjusting the rotational speed of the driving bevel gear can be achieved under the condition that the driving motor outputs at a stable rotational speed, so as to control the operating speeds of the rotary dialing mechanism and the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0024] As a further preference of the present invention, the speed ratio adjustment assembly includes a gear ring support frame, a brake drum, a partition plate, and a brake preloading spring. The gear ring support frame is fixedly connected to the motor mounting plate. The external gear ring is rotatably arranged in the gear ring support frame. One side of the gear ring support frame is provided with a side chute. The brake drum is snap-fitted and slidably arranged in the side chute. The brake drum is in sliding contact with the outer wall bracket of the driving bevel gear. The brake drum is provided with a sliding rod portion, and a piston portion is arranged at the end of the sliding rod portion. The piston portion is snap-fitted and slidably arranged in the side chute. The partition plate is fixedly connected in the side chute. The other end of the conduction hose is arranged on the side chute, and the other end of the conduction hose is located between the partition plate and the piston portion. The brake preloading spring is arranged between the brake drum and the partition plate.

[0025] When the pressure-sensitive load platform slides relative to the hoisting bottom shell, through the conduction of the conduction hose, the air pressure between the partition plate and the piston portion will also change accordingly, thereby affecting the extrusion force and friction force between the brake drum and the external gear ring, achieving the technical purpose of adaptively and dynamically adjusting the rotational speed of the output shaft bracket.

[0026] Furthermore, the rotary dialing mechanism includes a rotary support assembly and a special-shaped dialing assembly. The rotary support assembly includes a rotary bracket, a rotary main shaft, a rotary disk, and a rotary bevel gear. The rotary bracket is fixedly connected to the motor mounting plate. The top of the bidirectional stud is rotatably arranged in the rotary bracket. The rotary main shaft is rotatably arranged in the rotary bracket. The rotary disk and the rotary bevel gear are fixedly connected to the rotary main shaft. The rotary bevel gear and the driven bevel gear are engaged for transmission. The special-shaped dialing assembly is fixedly connected to the rotary disk.

[0027] The rotation speed of the rotating disk and the lifting speed of the lifting platform are completely related to the rotation speed of the active bevel gear, and the rotation speed of the rotating disk is related to the lifting speed of the lifting platform. Therefore, by controlling the rotation speed of the active bevel gear, it is possible to ensure that the rotation angle of the lifting platform always matches the lifting process of the lifting platform during the process of adjusting the lifting speed of the lifting platform.

[0028] Preferably, the special-shaped toggle assembly includes a special-shaped rotating ring, a sliding bracket, a rotating lever and a lever outward expansion spring. The special-shaped rotating ring is fixedly connected to the rotating disk. The special-shaped rotating ring and the rotating disk are coaxially arranged. Fixed brackets and grooved brackets are evenly distributed in a ring shape around the special-shaped rotating ring. The fixed brackets and grooved brackets are alternately distributed. A fixed lever is provided at the end of the fixed bracket. The sliding bracket is snap-fitted and slidably arranged in the grooved bracket. The rotating lever is rotatably arranged at the end of the sliding bracket. A supporting wheel is provided on the rotating lever. The lever outward expansion spring is arranged between the side wall of the groove of the grooved bracket and the sliding bracket.

[0029] Due to the offset setting of the rotating support assembly, the fixed lever can move the workpiece on the conveyor belt to the pressure-sensitive stage, while the rotating lever that can follow the extension and retraction of the sliding bracket can move the workpiece on the pressure-sensitive stage to the conveyor belt on the other side, thereby completing loading and unloading synchronously.

[0030] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above structure are as follows:

[0031] (1) The intermittent reciprocating lifting mechanism can sense the weight of the workpiece, and by sensing the weight of the workpiece, the duration of electroplating can be adaptively adjusted.

[0032] (2) The gravity sensing component can sense the mass of the workpiece placed on the pressure-sensitive stage. As the mass of the workpiece changes, the height of the pressure-sensitive stage relative to the hoisting bottom shell will also change. In addition, during the movement of the pressure-sensitive stage relative to the hoisting bottom shell, the flow of compressed gas in the hoisting bottom shell and the side slide is controlled by the conductive hose.

[0033] (3) Through the transmission of the bidirectional stud, the technical effect of reciprocating lifting of the lifting drive nut can be achieved when the bidirectional stud rotates continuously in one direction; and the lifting drive nut can continue to rise to a certain height on its own after the lifting platform rises to the top, thereby realizing intermittent lifting of the lifting platform when the lifting drive nut is continuously lifted.

[0034] (4) Through the linkage of the transmission belts, the movement speed of the conveyor belts on both sides can always match the lifting speed of the lifting platform.

[0035] (5)The transmission mechanism between the drive motor and the external gear ring is actually a deformation of the planetary reducer. By adjusting the rotational resistance of the external gear ring, the technical purpose of adaptively adjusting the rotational speed of the driving bevel gear can be achieved under the condition that the drive motor outputs at a stable rotational speed, thereby controlling the operating speeds of the rotary feeding mechanism and the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0036] (6)The rotational speed of the rotating disk and the lifting speed of the lifting platform are completely related to the rotational speed of the driving bevel gear, and the rotational speed of the rotating disk is related to the lifting speed of the lifting platform. Therefore, by controlling the rotational speed of the driving bevel gear, it is possible to ensure that the rotation angle of the lifting platform always matches the lifting process of the lifting platform during the process of adjusting the lifting speed of the lifting platform.

[0037] (7)Due to the offset setting of the rotating support assembly, the fixed fixed dialing rod can dial the workpieces on the conveyor belt onto the pressure-sensitive loading platform, while the rotating dialing rod that can follow the telescopic movement of the sliding bracket can dial the workpieces on the pressure-sensitive loading platform onto the conveyor belt on the other side, thus synchronously completing the loading and unloading.

[0076] As shown Figure 13 in the figure, the horizontal line segment at the bottom is divided into three sections A, B, and C. Among them, the two sections A and C respectively represent two conveyor belts 58, and the section B represents the position where the lifting platform 10 is located. The moving direction of the workpiece is A→B→C. The dotted circles in the figure represent the movement trajectories of the fixed lever 51. When the fixed lever 51 rotates, it can dial the workpiece from A to B; the two dotted circles in the figure respectively represent the movement trajectories of the rotary lever 48 when it is fully retracted and fully extended. The rotary lever 48 has a tendency to extend outwards in its natural state, but it may retract when blocked by the conveyor belt 58 or the pressure-sensitive carrier table 13.

[0077] During specific use, first, the user needs to start the drive motor 28. The drive motor 28 drives the output shaft bracket 30 to rotate through the central gear 29. Since the outer gear ring 32 can rotate in the gear ring support frame 34, when the rotation speed of the drive motor 28 is constant, the greater the rotation resistance of the outer gear ring 32, the greater the rotation speed of the output shaft bracket 30. When the rotation resistance of the outer gear ring 32 decreases to nearly disappear (a virtual extreme working condition), the output shaft bracket 30 may not even be able to output torque;

[0078] When the output shaft bracket 30 drives the driving bevel gear 33 to rotate, it will continuously drive the bidirectional stud 17 to rotate through the driven bevel gear 19. At the same time, it will also drive the rotating disk 45 to rotate through the meshing transmission between the driven bevel gear 19 and the rotating bevel gear 65. When the rotating disk 45 rotates, on the one hand, it will drive the special-shaped dialing component 42 to rotate together, and on the other hand, it will drive the conveying roller 57 and the conveyor belt 58 to move through belt transmission. Since both the rotating disk 45 and the conveyor belt 58 are driven by the driving bevel gear 33 and the driven bevel gear 19 and the transmission ratio between the rotating disk 45 and the conveyor belt 58 remains unchanged, during the process of the output rotation speed of the driving bevel gear 33 changing, the relative movement speed between the rotary dialing mechanism 3 and the loading and unloading mechanism 4 always remains matched.

[0079] During the rotation of the special-shaped rotating ring 46, the supporting wheel 53 rolls along the conveyor belt 58 after contacting the conveyor belt 58. At this time, the next group of workpieces has not reached the end of the conveyor belt 58, so the rotary lever 48 will not contact the next group of workpieces; after passing through the pressure-sensitive carrier table 13, it moves along the central slope 23 and the lifting platform 10 to the other conveyor belt 58. During this process, the rotary lever 48 will dial the workpiece that has just been electroplated on the pressure-sensitive carrier table 13 to the other conveyor belt 58. After reaching the limit position, the rotary lever 48 will leave the conveyor belt 58 and rotate upwards following the special-shaped rotating ring 46.

[0080] During the rotation of the special-shaped rotating ring 46, when the fixed lever 51 is about to approach the conveyor belt 58, the next workpiece to be processed has also been conveyed by the conveyor belt 58 to the front of the fixed lever 51. Therefore, the fixed lever 51 cannot be extended. Thus, during the rotation of the fixed lever 51, it can only push the workpiece on the conveyor belt 58 onto the pressure-sensitive loading platform 13 and then leave the workpiece.

[0081] Through the above process, when the special-shaped rotating ring 46 rotates by a unit angle, it can push the just-processed workpiece from the pressure-sensitive loading platform 13 onto the conveyor belt 58 on the blanking side, and at the same time, push the workpiece to be processed on the conveyor belt 58 on the loading side onto the pressure-sensitive loading platform 13.

[0082] During the rotation of the special-shaped rotating ring 46, the bidirectional screw 17 rotates continuously in one direction. However, due to the bidirectional thread on the bidirectional screw 17 that matches the lifting drive nut 16, the lifting drive nut 16 actually performs continuous reciprocating lifting and lowering. When the lifting drive nut 16 presses the lifting platform 10 to descend, the lifting platform 10 together with the workpiece to be processed on the pressure-sensitive loading platform 13 descends together. After the workpiece is immersed in the electroplating solution, electroplating can be carried out.

[0083] After the lifting drive nut 16 moves to the bottom end of the bidirectional screw 17 and rises in the reverse direction, at this time, the lifting platform 10 follows the lifting drive nut 16 and rises synchronously under the elastic force of the platform return spring 11. However, after the platform return spring 11 reaches the equilibrium state, the lifting platform 10 will stop rising. At this time, the lifting drive nut 16 continues to rise alone for a certain distance under the guidance of the nut guide rod 21 and then turns back and descends.

[0084] Therefore, during the reciprocating lifting and lowering of the lifting drive nut 16, the lifting platform 10 stays at the top for a period of time, and the material pushing process of the rotary material pushing mechanism 3 occurs during this period.

[0085] Under the condition that other factors remain unchanged, the heavier the mass of the workpiece, the larger the surface area of the simple geometric workpiece, and theoretically, the longer the electroplating duration is required; and the heavier the mass of the workpiece, the greater the sinking amount of the pressure-sensitive loading platform 13 relative to the hoisting bottom shell 12. At this time, the gas between the hoisting bottom shell 12 and the pressure-sensitive loading platform 13 is squeezed through the conduction hose 15 to between the partition plate 36 and the piston part 40. As the air pressure between the partition plate 36 and the piston part 40 increases, under the dual action of the air pressure and the brake pre-tightening spring 37, the squeezing force and friction force between the brake drum 35 and the external gear ring 32 become smaller, thereby reducing the rotational resistance of the external gear ring 32.

[0086] When the output rotational speed of the drive motor 28 is constant, if the rotational resistance of the external gear ring 32 decreases, the rotational speed of the output shaft bracket 30 will also decrease accordingly, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the movement speeds of the rotary dialing mechanism 3 and the loading and unloading mechanism 4, and extending the duration of the workpiece immersed in the electroplating solution.
