Electrode is one of the core components of the electrolyzer, 1000m 3 The width of the electrolytic cell electrode (the width of the electrode) is also greater than 1.8m.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0059] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0060] Embodiment 1:

[0061] This embodiment provides a roller plating device for continuous electroplating, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a drying system 13, an unwinding system 2, a collecting unit, three troughs, rollers corresponding to the troughs one by one, a plurality of support frames 4, a plurality of telescopic devices 5 and a plurality of fixed pulleys 3.

[0062] The unwinding system 2 and the collecting unit are respectively located at the head and the tail of the roller plating device.

[0063] The unwinding system 2 is located at the head of the device and is used to wind the plated workpiece 19 to be electroplated. The unwinding system 2 includes: a rotating shaft A1, a support frame 4 and a driving device a. The rotating shaft A1 is supported on a ceiling or a bracket through the support frame 4. The driving device a is used to drive the rotating shaft A1 of the unwinding system 2 to rotate and release the plated workpiece 19 wound on the unwinding system 2.

[0064] In this embodiment, the collection unit is a winding system 18. The winding system 18 is located at the rear of the device and is used to wind up the plated parts 19 after electroplating. The structure of the winding system 18 is the same as that of the unwinding system 2, including: a rotating shaft A1, a support frame 4 and a driving device a. The rotating shaft A1 is supported on the ceiling or the bracket through the support frame 4. The driving device a in the winding system 18 is used to drive the rotating shaft A1 in the winding system 18 to rotate.

[0065] As an example, the support frame 4 adopts a tensioner, and the height of the unwinding system 2 or the winding system 18 wrapped with the plated part 19 is changed through the telescopic movement of the tensioner A4.

[0066] The three tanks are arranged longitudinally (along the head-to-tail direction) between the unwinding system 2 and the winding system 18. The inner bottom surface of each tank is provided with a plurality of stirrers 15; the inner wall surface of the tank is provided with a plurality of heaters 16. The bottom of each tank is provided with a liquid replenishing pipe 14, and the internal space of each tank is connected with the corresponding liquid replenishing system through the liquid replenishing pipe 14. As an example, the stirrer 15, the heater 16 and the liquid replenishing system can be controlled by a control system.

[0067] The three tanks are respectively a pretreatment tank 10 , an electroplating tank 11 and a cleaning tank 12 from the head to the tail.

[0068] The pretreatment tank 10 is filled with a pretreatment liquid for degreasing and pickling the plated parts 19; the pretreatment liquid is stirred evenly by the stirrer 15, heated to a set pretreatment temperature by the heater 16, and replenished by the pretreatment liquid replenishing system.

[0069] The electroplating tank 11 is filled with electroplating liquid for electroplating the plated object 19. The inner bottom surface of the electroplating tank 11 is provided with an anode electrode, which is electrically connected to the positive pole of the external power supply 17; the negative pole of the power supply 17 is electrically connected to the plated object 19. When the plated object 19 is immersed in the electroplating liquid, a closed circuit is formed between the anode and the cathode to achieve electroplating. The electroplating liquid is stirred evenly by the stirrer 15, heated to the set electroplating temperature by the heater 16, and replenished by the electroplating liquid replenishing system.

[0070] The cleaning tank 12 is filled with cleaning liquid for cleaning the surface of the plated part 19 and removing impurities in the plating liquid on the surface of the plated part 19. The cleaning liquid is stirred evenly by the agitator 15, heated to the set cleaning temperature by the heater 16, and replenished by the cleaning liquid replenishing system.

[0071] A roller system is provided directly above the pretreatment tank 10, the electroplating tank 11 and the cleaning tank 12, which is used to press the plated part 19 into the corresponding tank body. The roller system includes: a roller, a rotating shaft B9 and a telescopic device 5. The rotating shaft B9 is supported on the ceiling or the bracket through the telescopic device 5, and the roller is raised and lowered by the telescopic movement of the telescopic device 5. In this embodiment, the telescopic device 5 is preferably a tensioner. The roller is coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft B9, and the rotating shaft B9 drives the roller to rotate when it rotates. The telescopic device 5 extends downward, and when the roller moves downward, the plated part 19 is immersed in the corresponding liquid (i.e., the pretreatment liquid, the electroplating liquid or the cleaning liquid), and is also used to control the electroplating parameters such as the distance between the anode and cathode; the plated part 19 is transferred to the tail of the device by the roller rotating around the rotating shaft B9.

[0072] The roller (hereinafter referred to as the electroplating roller 7) located above the electroplating tank 11 is a roller with a regular polygonal cross section. As the electroplating roller 7 rotates, each surface of the roller descends in turn, and a section of the plated part 19 in contact with the surface is immersed in the electroplating tank for electroplating; when the electroplating of the surface is completed, the electroplating roller 7 rotates 360 / n degrees (n is the number of sides of the regular polygon) to electroplate the next section of the plated part 19, thereby realizing the segmented electroplating of the plated part 19. The number of sides n of the regular polygon of the electroplating roller 7 is adjusted according to the requirements of the electroplated product. The more sides there are, the smaller the size of each electroplated surface, the smaller the edge effect, and the more uniform the electroplating on the surface of the finished plated part.

[0073] The electroplating drum 7 is driven to rotate by the driving device b. By adjusting the rotation speed of the electroplating drum 7 by the driving device b, the time for the corresponding plated part 19 to be immersed in the electroplating solution is changed, so that electroplating layers of different morphologies and qualities (rough or tight electroplating layers, etc.) can be obtained on the same plated part 19. When the plated part 19 is immersed in the electroplating solution, the contact between the electroplating solution and the rest of the plated part 19 is reduced as much as possible. The driving device b serves as the rotating body, and the rotation speeds of the driving devices a of the unwinding system 2 and the driving device a of the winding system 18 are consistent with the rotation speed of the driving device b (the moving length of the plated part is consistent), so as to avoid the plated part 19 in the winding system and the unwinding system from being loosened. The area of ​​the anode electrode is greater than or equal to the area of ​​one surface of the electroplating drum 7, so that the surface of each section of the plated part 19 is evenly plated.

[0074] As an example, the drums located above the pretreatment tank 10 and the cleaning tank 12 are circular drums, and the two drums are the pretreatment drum 6 and the cleaning drum 8 respectively.

[0075] As an example, the pretreatment drum 6 and the cleaning drum 8 are respectively provided with a driving device c for driving the rotation of the pretreatment drum 6 and the cleaning drum 8 so that the plated parts 19 are transferred smoothly.

[0076] The pretreatment tank 10, the pretreatment drum 6, the corresponding rotating shaft B9 and the telescopic device 5 together constitute a pretreatment unit.

[0077] The electroplating tank 11, the electroplating drum 7, the corresponding rotating shaft B9 and the telescopic device 5 together constitute an electroplating unit.

[0078] The cleaning tank 12, the cleaning drum 8, the corresponding rotating shaft B9 and the telescopic device 5 together constitute a pre-treatment unit.

[0079] The drying system 13 is disposed between the cleaning tank 12 and the winding system 18 and is used for drying the plated parts 19 after the electroplating is completed.

[0080] A fixed pulley 3 is provided between the unwinding system 2 and the pretreatment drum 6, between the pretreatment drum 6 and the electroplating drum 7, between the electroplating drum 7 and the cleaning drum 8, and between the cleaning drum 8 and the drying system 13. The fixed pulley 3 is used to change the moving direction of the plated piece 19, and the fixed pulley 3 is supported on the ceiling or the bracket through the support frame 4. The fixed pulleys 3 are pulley a301, pulley b302, pulley c303, and pulley d304. The plated piece 19 is stretched to both sides by the fixed pulleys 3 located on both sides of the drum, that is, Figure 1 As shown, the plated piece 19 is completely attached to the surface below the pretreatment drum 6 through pulley a301 and pulley b302, the plated piece 19 is completely attached to the surface below the electroplating drum 7 through pulley b302 and pulley c303, and the plated piece is completely attached to the surface below the cleaning drum 8 through pulley c303 and pulley d304, so that the corresponding plated piece 19 can be evenly contacted with the pretreatment liquid, electroplating liquid and cleaning liquid, thereby improving the electroplating effect. In this embodiment, the support frame 4 is preferably a tensioner, and the height of the fixed pulley 3 is adjusted through the telescopic movement of the tensioner, and it is used in conjunction with different electroplating drums 7. At the same time, it can prevent the plated piece 19 from contacting the edge of the tank body.

[0081] As an example, when the plated parts 19 after electroplating have a fixed size requirement, a cutting device is used as a collection unit to directly cut the plated parts 19 after electroplating into rectangular finished products, which are then stacked and sorted. The cutting device is also suitable for collecting plated parts 19 that are not suitable for winding or bending.

[0082] The cutting speed of the cutting device is consistent with the rotation speed of the drum.

[0083] The free end of the plated component 19 mounted on the unwinding system 2 passes through pulley a301, pretreatment drum 6, pulley b302, electroplating drum 7, pulley c303, cleaning drum 8, pulley d304, drying system 13 in sequence, and is finally wound on the winding system 18.

[0084] The plated member 19 used in this embodiment is a nickel mesh.

[0085] Embodiment 2:

[0086] This embodiment provides a method for using a barrel plating device for continuous electroplating. The method is based on the barrel plating device in Embodiment 1 and includes the following steps:

[0087] Step 1: Prepare and start the barrel plating device

[0088] Add corresponding solutions into the pretreatment tank 10 , the plating tank and the cleaning tank 12 , and turn on the control system, the agitator 15 , the heater 16 and the drying system 13 .

[0089] One end of the plated component 19 is wound on the unwinding system 2 , and the other end is disposed in the collecting unit, and is unwound under the drive of the rotating shaft A1 in the unwinding system 2 .

[0090] Step 2: Pre-treatment of plated parts: degreasing and pickling of plated parts

[0091] The released plated workpiece 19 passes around the pulley a301 and then passes under the pretreatment drum 6. The pretreatment drum 6 rotates through the corresponding rotating shaft B9 and descends through the corresponding telescopic device 5, and the plated workpiece 19 under the pretreatment drum 6 is immersed in the pretreatment liquid in the pretreatment tank 10 to pretreat the plated workpiece 19.

[0092] Step 3: Segmented electroplating of plated parts

[0093] After the pretreatment, the plated workpiece 19 passes around the pulley b302 and passes under the electroplating drum 7. The electroplating drum 7 rotates through the corresponding rotating shaft B9 and descends through the corresponding telescopic device 5, so that the pretreated plated workpiece 19 is immersed in the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 11 to electroplate the plated workpiece 19.

[0094] As the plating drum 7 rotates, each surface of the plating drum 7 descends in turn, and a section of the plated component 19 in contact with the bottom surface is immersed in the plating tank 11 for electroplating; when the electroplating of this surface is completed, the plating drum 7 rotates 360 / n degrees (n is the number of sides of the regular polygon of the plating drum 7) to electroplate the next section of the plated component 19, thereby realizing segmented electroplating.

[0095] The electroplating drum 7 serves as a rotating body, and the rotation speed of the winding system and the collecting speed of the collecting unit (ie, the moving length of the plated component 19 ) are consistent with the rotation speed of the electroplating drum 7 .

[0096] Step 4: Cleaning of plated parts

[0097] After the electroplating, the plated workpiece 19 passes around the pulley c303 and passes under the cleaning drum 8. The cleaning drum 8 rotates through the corresponding rotating shaft B9 and is lifted up and down through the corresponding telescopic device 5, so that the plated workpiece 19 after the electroplating is immersed in the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 12 to clean the surface of the plated workpiece 19.

[0098] Step 5: Drying and collection of plated parts

[0099] After cleaning, the plated component 19 passes around the pulley d304 and enters the drying system 13 under the winding action of the winding system 18.

[0100] Step 6: Collect the electroplated parts

[0101] After drying, the plated parts are collected by a collecting unit.

[0102] The plated component 19 is a splicable structure, which is located after the electroplating unit. The part that cannot be electroplated is cut and spliced ​​with other plated components (by weaving or welding, etc.) before being electroplated.

[0103] In summary, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
