Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aero-engine parts processing, in particular to an aero-engine part cyanide-free electroplating processing device. In addition, the present application also relates to a processing method using the aero-engine part cyanide-free electroplating processing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The information provided in this section is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the present application. To the extent that the descriptions in this section describe the work of the inventors, and to the extent that the descriptions are not considered to be prior art to the present application, the descriptions are not, and are not intended to be, the admission that the work described in this section is prior art to the present application.

[0003] The silver plating layer has self-lubricating property and can effectively prevent adhesion at high temperature (below 650℃), and is commonly used in aero-engine bearing parts. The wandering star gear roller bearing retainer has a complex structure and has many grooves and bosses. Its structural diagram is shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 1 and the accompanying drawings Figure 2 The thickness of the conventional silver plating layer is required to be 5-8 μm or 8-12 μm, while the thickness of the silver layer of the wandering star gear roller bearing retainer is required to be 25-45 μm, which is far more than the thickness of the conventional silver plating.

[0004] In the electroplating process, due to the tip effect, the electric lines are easy to gather at the boss end surface of the part, while the electric lines in the grooves are shielded, so that the thickness of the plating layer at the boss end surface of the part is far more than that at the groove part. In order to meet the thickness requirement of the silver layer at the groove part of the wandering star gear roller bearing retainer, the conventional cyanide electroplating time is about 210 min-280 min. Since the longer the electroplating time is, the more obvious the tip effect is, the silver layer on the surface of the boss end surface of the part is easy to be rough and granular, while the thickness of the silver layer on the surface of the groove is thin, and the thickness of the silver layer is unevenly distributed. At the same time, due to the super-thick silver plating layer, the binding force of the silver plating layer cannot be guaranteed by the existing cyanide electroplating processing method, and the silver layer of the pocket often falls off during the use of the engine. The fault diagram is shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 2 In addition, if the oil stains on the surface of the part are not removed completely before the electroplating treatment, the subsequent electroplating effect will also be greatly affected. However, since the wandering star gear roller bearing retainer has a complex structure and has many grooves and bosses, it is difficult to completely clean the oil stains on the surface of the part.

[0048] Preferably, please refer to Figure 5As shown, the spraying assembly 3 is arranged on one side of the line of the expansion sleeve 6 to make the spraying direction of the treatment liquid have an angle with the radial direction of the roller bearing retainer 100, and then when the roller bearing retainer 100 is sprayed and washed, it can drive the roller bearing retainer 100 to rotate around the axis of the bearing 5.

[0050] Preferably, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the aero-engine part cyanide-free electroplating processing device further comprises a support plate assembly 4 connected with the side wall of the pretreatment box 1, which is used to support the limiting spraying assembly 3.

[0056] It can be understood that the height of the liquid inlet pipe 2 and the first spraying pipe 31 can be adjusted through the telescopic rod 12, the overall spraying coverage area of the spraying assembly 3 is changed, and the spraying and flushing requirements of the roller bearing cage 100 of different sizes can be met.

[0057] Preferably, as shown in Figure 7 The first end of the liquid storage pipe 7 is provided with a sealing plate, and the liquid storage pipe 7 is provided with a compression spring 74, which is elastically pressed between the sealing plate and the piston 73.

[0058] It can be understood that the compression spring 74 can provide an elastic force to push the piston 73 away from the sealing plate, so as to realize the reset of the piston 73, which is beneficial to control the displacement of the piston 73 and realize the accurate control of the pressure of the pressure adjusting chamber 64.

[0059] Preferably, as shown in Figure 7 The first end of the sealing member 71 towards the outside of the oil inlet is provided with a hand wheel 75, and the second end of the sealing member 71 is provided with a pushing member 72. The first end of the pushing member 72 is threadedly connected with the sealing member 71, and the second end of the pushing member 72 is used to abut against the piston 73 and push the piston 73 to move along the axial direction of the oil storage pipe 7.

[0063] According to another aspect of the present application, a cyanide-free electroplating processing method for an aero-engine part is also provided, which uses the cyanide-free electroplating processing device for the aero-engine part, and comprises the following steps:

[0064] S100, the roller bearing retainer 100 is clamped to the outer ring of the expansion sleeve 6, the oil removal solution is introduced through the liquid inlet pipe 2, and the surface of the roller bearing retainer 100 is cleaned by the spraying assembly 3, and then the roller bearing retainer 100 is taken out;

[0071] S800, the roller bearing retainer 100 plated with silver is then treated to remove hydrogen in a vacuum furnace, and then subjected to final inspection.

[0072] The cyanide-free electroplating processing method of the aero-engine parts also has the beneficial effects described above. After effectively cleaning and removing oil stains from the roller bearing retainer 100, the surface of the roller bearing retainer 100 is further removed of the oxide skin through liquid sandblasting, and the surface of the roller bearing retainer 100 is cleaned by electrolytic oil removal to ensure that the surface state is good. After the roller bearing retainer 100 is activated by weak acid, the roller bearing retainer 100 is sequentially subjected to cyanide-free pre-copper plating and cyanide-free silver plating, and finally subjected to neutralization treatment and hydrogen removal treatment, thereby effectively solving the problems of uneven thickness and poor adhesion of the roller bearing retainer 100 with many grooves and bosses during silver plating. By optimizing the silver plating processing technology of the roller bearing retainer 100, the uneven distribution of electric lines caused by the special structure of the part is improved, the problems of uneven thickness and poor adhesion of the silver plating layer of the roller bearing retainer 100 are solved, the quality of the silver plating layer of the roller bearing retainer 100 is effectively improved, the silver plating processing cycle of the part is shortened, the production efficiency is significantly improved, and the technology can also be applied to other parts with similar structures.

The pre-treatment of pre-plating copper without cyanide on the surface of the roller bearing retainer 100 can facilitate the subsequent silver plating to adhere and form a silver plating layer on the surface of the roller bearing retainer 100, improve the adhesion of the silver plating layer, and prevent the silver plating layer from falling off during use.

[0075] Preferably, before step S600, the entire surface of the roller bearing retainer 100 is pre-plated with silver without cyanide, and the roller bearing retainer 100 is charged into the tank at room temperature, with a single-piece current of 0.1-0.24 A and a time of 1-2 min. In step S600, the entire surface of the roller bearing retainer 100 is plated with silver without cyanide, and the roller bearing retainer 100 is charged into the tank at room temperature, with a single-piece current of 0.6-2 A, a silver plating time of 90-150 min, and the part is turned over once every 15-20 min during silver plating to change the conductive contact position.

[0076] It can be understood that the application effectively reduces the plating time, reduces the tip effect, avoids the phenomenon that the silver layer on the surface of the convex end of the part is rough and granular, the silver layer on the surface of the groove is thin, and the silver layer thickness is uneven.

[0077] In summary, the application adopts a cyanide-free silver plating process to replace cyanide silver plating, optimizes the silver plating process of the roller bearing retainer 100, and the main process is: acceptance→ water-based oil removal→ liquid sandblasting→ electrolytic oil removal→ weak corrosion→ cyanide-free pre-plating copper→ cyanide-free pre-plating silver→ cyanide-free silver plating→ neutralization→ hydrogen removal→ inspection. The uneven distribution of electric lines caused by the special structure of the part is improved, the problems of uneven thickness of the silver plating layer and poor adhesion of the roller bearing retainer 100 are solved, the quality of the silver plating layer of the roller bearing retainer 100 is effectively improved, and the application effect is good.
