Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mold processing, in particular to a mold core local hardening electroplating device and an electroplating process thereof. Background Art

[0002] The mold core local hardening electroplating device is a professional equipment used to perform surface hardening treatment on specific local areas of the mold core. Its principle is based on electroplating technology. Through electrolysis, the metal ions in the plating solution containing metal ions that can form a hardening phase are deposited in the target local area of ​​the mold core, and after subsequent appropriate heat treatment and other processes, the local hardening is achieved, thereby improving the hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties of the corresponding parts of the mold core to meet the use requirements of the mold under specific working conditions.

[0003] However, traditional local electroplating of mold surfaces is mainly achieved by applying or sticking seals on the non-electroplating positions on the mold core surface, so that the sealed positions cannot contact the plating liquid in the plating tank. Therefore, after the electroplating of the object is completed, the seals need to be applied or stuck on the non-electroplating positions on the mold core surface and then torn off. Applying or sticking the seals and the subsequent tearing off operations require additional time and manpower. In large-scale mold electroplating production, this series of operations will significantly increase the production cycle and reduce the overall production efficiency, which cannot meet the needs of efficient production. For example, in some small mold processing plants, due to the use of this traditional sealing method, the time spent on sealing operations may account for 5% of the total production time per day. The time taken for applying or removing the seal is 10%-20%. Each time the seal is applied or torn off, the electroplating process needs to be interrupted and the electroplating can only be continued after the seal is processed. This makes the production process discontinuous and difficult to achieve automated production, further reducing production efficiency. It is difficult to ensure that a completely uniform and tight sealing effect can be achieved every time by applying or sticking the seal. If the seal is not tight, the plating liquid may penetrate into the non-plated area, causing the area to be plated as well, destroying the design requirements and functions of the mold. In addition, the seal may be deformed or loosened during the electroplating process due to the influence of factors such as the erosion of the plating liquid and temperature changes, further reducing the sealing effect.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a mold core local hardening electroplating device and an electroplating process thereof to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be resolved

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a device for local hardening and electroplating of a mold core. By setting a positioning component, after the mold core is placed inside a placement groove, when the electric telescopic rod is started to drive the top seat to slide downward, that is, before the mold core is immersed in the electroplating liquid inside the electroplating tank, the top cover slides downward, so that the mold core can be fixed inside the placement seat, and the outside of the mold core cavity is sealed by the expansion of the annular airbag. At the same time, the sealing component seals the inner bottom of the placement groove so that the electroplating liquid can only contact the surface of the mold core cavity, and the electroplating of the cavity surface can achieve local hardening of the mold core, etc., which solves the problem that after local electroplating of the traditional mold surface, a sealant needs to be applied or pasted to the non-electroplated position of the mold core surface and then torn off. The application or pasting of the sealant and the subsequent tearing-off operation require additional time and manpower investment.

At the same time, the sealing component 7 seals the inner bottom of the placement groove 63, so that the electroplating liquid can only contact the surface of the mold core cavity, and the electroplating of the cavity surface can achieve local hardening of the mold core.

[0043] A ventilation groove 31 is provided through the inner center of the first piston rod 3, and an air guide tube 611 is fixedly connected to the inner center of the support frame 61.

[0046] A liquid passing groove 631 is provided at the inner bottom end of the placement seat 62, and the sealing component 7 includes a slide plate 71 slidably connected to the inside of the placement seat 62, and the two side surfaces of the slide plate 71 are fixedly connected with convex plates 72, and the outer surface of the convex plate 72 is slidably connected to the inside of the placement seat 62, and a spring 73 is movably installed at the bottom of the convex plate 72, and the top of the slide plate 71 is fixedly connected with a top plate 74, and the width of the top plate 74 is larger than the diameter of the liquid passing groove 631.

[0048] An electroplating process for local hardening of a mold core, characterized in that the specific process flow is as follows:

[0049] S1. When in use, first close the solenoid valve 691, and then place the mold core inside the placement groove 63. At this time, by starting the electric telescopic rod 5, the top cover 67 is driven to slide downward, and at the same time, the second piston rod 66 slides downward inside the second piston cylinder 65, and drives the sealing assembly 7 to slide downward, and is sealed and fitted to the surface of the immersion tank 64 through the annular sealing gasket 68, so that the mold core can be fixed inside the placement seat 62.

[0050] S2. When the top cover 67 slides downward, the top cover 67 drives the top plate 74 and the bottom sealing plate 75 to slide downward through the mold core.

[0051] S3. When the core mold cavity completely overlaps with the immersion tank 64, the top plate 74 is sealed to the inner bottom end of the placement tank 63 through the bottom sealing plate 75, and seals the liquid tank 631.

[0052] S4. Then open the solenoid valve 691, and the strong pressure inside the air guide tube 611 enters the annular airbag 69 through the second air distribution pipe 613, the air inlet pipe 692 and the solenoid valve 691, and the outside of the core cavity is sealed by the expansion of the annular airbag 69. At this time, except for the position where the cavity needs to be electroplated, all other positions of the model are in a sealed state.

[0053] S5. Finally, by continuing to start the electric telescopic rod 5, the placement seat 62 is immersed in the electroplating solution through the top seat 4 for electroplating.

[0054] In summary, when the mold core local hardening electroplating device is in use, first the solenoid valve 691 is in a closed state, the air inlet pipe 692 and the annular airbag 69 are in a disconnected state, and then the mold core is placed inside the placement groove 63. At this time, when the electric telescopic rod 5 is started to drive the top seat 4 to slide downward, that is, before the mold core is immersed in the electroplating liquid inside the electroplating tank 1, the top cover 67 slides downward, and at the same time, when the first piston rod 3 slides downward, the strong pressure at the bottom end of the first piston cylinder 2 enters the internal top end of the second piston cylinder 65 through the ventilation groove 31, the air guide pipe 611 and the first air distribution pipe 612. At this time, the second piston rod 66 slides downward inside the second piston cylinder 65, and drives the sealing assembly 7 to slide downward, and is sealed and fitted to the surface of the immersion tank 64 through the annular sealing gasket 68, so that the mold core can be fixed inside the placement seat 62;

[0055] When the top cover 67 slides downward, the top cover 67 drives the top plate 74 and the bottom sealing plate 75 to slide downward through the mold core. When the mold core cavity completely overlaps with the immersion tank 64, the top plate 74 is sealed to the inner bottom end of the placement tank 63 through the bottom sealing plate 75, and seals the liquid tank 631. Then the solenoid valve 691 is opened, and the strong pressure inside the air guide pipe 611 enters the annular airbag 69 through the second air distribution pipe 613, the air inlet pipe 692 and the solenoid valve 691, and the outside of the mold core cavity is sealed by the expansion of the annular airbag 69. At this time, except for the position where the cavity needs to be electroplated, the other positions of the model are in a sealed state. By continuing to start the electric telescopic rod 5, the placement seat 62 is immersed in the plating solution as a whole through the top seat 4 for electroplating.

10. The electroplating process for local hardening of a mold core according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The specific process is as follows: S1. When in use, first close the solenoid valve (691), then place the mold core inside the placement groove (63). At this time, the electric telescopic rod (5) is started to drive the top cover (67) to slide downward, and at the same time, the second piston rod (66) slides downward inside the second piston cylinder (65), and drives the sealing assembly (7) to slide downward, and is sealed to the surface of the immersion tank (64) through the annular sealing gasket (68), so that the mold core can be fixed inside the placement seat (62). S2. When the top cover (67) slides downward, the top cover (67) drives the top plate (74) and the bottom sealing plate (75) to slide downward through the mold core. S3. When the core mold cavity completely overlaps with the immersion tank (64), the top plate (74) is sealed to the inner bottom end of the placement tank (63) through the bottom sealing plate (75) and seals the liquid tank (631). S4. Then the solenoid valve (691) is opened, and the strong pressure inside the air guide tube (611) enters the interior of the annular airbag (69) through the second air distribution tube (613), the air inlet pipe (692) and the solenoid valve (691), and the outside of the core cavity is sealed by the expansion of the annular airbag (69). At this time, except for the position of the cavity that needs to be electroplated, all other positions of the model are in a sealed state. S5. Finally, by continuing to start the electric telescopic rod (5), the placement seat (62) is immersed in the electroplating solution through the top seat (4) for electroplating.
