[0027] like Figure 1-4 and Figure 8 As shown:

[0028] The invention comprises a transverse rod 101, a slider 102 is slidably connected to the transverse rod 101, a cleaning brush 201 is rotatably connected to the slider 102, the slider 102 is fixedly connected to the moving frame 401 through a connecting rod, a connecting clamp 404 is connected to the moving frame 401, a reinforcing brush 405 is rotatably connected to the connecting clamp 404, the connecting clamp 404 can move forward and backward along the moving frame 401, a first motor is fixedly connected to the transverse rod 101, a first lead screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor, and the first lead screw is connected to the slider 10 2 threaded connection, the slider 102 is fixedly connected with a second motor capable of driving the cleaning brush part 201 to rotate, the mobile frame 401 is fixedly connected with a third motor capable of driving the reinforcing brush 405 to rotate, and the transverse rod 101 is connected to a cylinder capable of pushing the transverse rod 101 to move up and down by tightening bolts on the transverse rod 101, and the connecting rod is a long rod with one end capable of contacting the slider 102 and the other end capable of contacting the mobile frame 401, thereby fixing the slider 102 and the mobile frame 401 together.

[0029] The components to be plated are placed directly below the cleaning and brushing part 201, and the components are fixed by tightening bolts or external clamps, and then the surface of the components is continuously sprayed with clean water or the components are directly immersed in clean water after being placed, and then the slider 102 is operated to slide on the transverse rod 101, and the cleaning and brushing part 201 is rotated on the slider 102, and then the upper surface of the component is continuously brushed by the rotating cleaning and brushing part 201, so as to achieve the effect of removing impurities such as dust, oil stains and oxide scale on the surface of the components to be plated;

[0030] During the cleaning process, if there are relatively firm impurities on some positions on the surface of the component to be plated, and the cleaning effect cannot be achieved by only relying on the cleaning part 201 that moves left and right, then when the reinforcing brush 405 passes through the position, the reinforcing brush 405 can be operated to slide back and forth at high frequency on the movable frame 401, and then the reinforcing brush 405 can be used to provide cleaning forces in different directions to the position, thereby achieving the effect of enhanced cleaning of the position, facilitating the removal of firm impurities, improving the cleaning effect, and providing a stable foundation for subsequent improvement of the electroplating effect. Subsequently, the component to be plated is taken out, and the electroplating effect can be completed by subsequent electroplating work.

[0031] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown:

[0032] It also includes a slide seat 402 slidably connected to the moving frame 401 , a connecting clamp 404 is slidably connected to the slide seat 402 , a fourth motor is fixedly connected to the moving frame 401 , a second lead screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the fourth motor, and the second lead screw is threadedly connected to the slide seat 402 .

[0033] During actual use, when enhanced cleaning of a certain position is required, after moving the movable frame 401 to the upper side of the position, the slide 402 is operated to slide on the movable frame 401, thereby moving the enhanced brush 405 to the upper side of the position, and then the connecting clamp 404 is operated to slide back and forth at a high frequency on the slide 402, thereby achieving the effect of using the rotating enhanced brush 405 to provide cleaning forces in different directions to the position, thereby completing the effect of enhanced brushing at a certain position.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3-5 and Figure 8 As shown:

[0035] It also includes a moving plate 407 slidably connected to the connecting clamp 404, a slide plate 501 slidably connected to the moving frame 401, a transmission rod 502 connected to the slide plate 501, a plurality of push plates 503 fixedly connected to the transmission rod 502, a first compression spring fixedly connected between the slide plate 501 and the moving frame 401, a second compression spring fixedly connected between the slide seat 402 and the connecting clamp 404, an annular portion 202 fixedly connected to the cleaning portion 201, a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 203 fixedly connected to the annular portion 202, and a first electric push rod capable of pushing the moving plate 407 to slide fixedly connected to the connecting clamp 404.

[0036] After the moving frame 401 moves to the position where enhanced cleaning is required, the slide seat 402 is operated to slide on the moving frame 401, thereby moving the enhanced brush 405 to the upper side of the position to be enhanced cleaning, and then the moving plate 407 is operated to slide on the connecting clamp 404, so that the moving plate 407 moves to a position where it can overlap with multiple push plates 503. At this time, when the cleaning portion 201 continues to rotate, the cleaning portion 201 will continue to drive the annular portion 202 to rotate, and the rotating annular portion 202 will frequently push the slide plate 501 on the moving frame 401 through multiple arc-shaped protrusions 203 to overcome the elastic force of the first compression spring and perform high-frequency reciprocating sliding. During this process, one of the multiple push plates 503 will push the moving plate 407, thereby causing the connecting clamp 404 to overcome the elastic force of the second compression spring on the slide seat 402 and perform high-frequency reciprocating sliding, thereby achieving the subsequent enhanced cleaning effect.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown:

[0038] The transmission rod 502 is slidably connected to the slide plate 501 , and a second electric push rod capable of pushing the transmission rod 502 to slide is fixedly connected to the slide plate 501 .

[0039] After the connecting clamp 404 is moved to a suitable position and the movable plate 407 is operated to slide on the connecting clamp 404, and then the movable plate 407 is moved to a position overlapping with the plurality of push plates 503, the transmission rod 502 can be operated to slide on the slide plate 501, and then one of the plurality of push plates 503 can be moved to rest against the movable plate 407, so as to facilitate the subsequent smooth pushing of the connecting clamp 404 to slide and complete the subsequent enhanced cleaning effect.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 8-9 As shown:

[0041] The device further comprises a detection portion 103 slidably connected to the slider 102 , and a third compression spring is fixedly connected between the slider 102 and the detection portion 103 .

[0042] In the actual cleaning process, the detection part 103 will always be against the upper side of the component to be plated, and when the detection part 103 moves beyond the range of the component to be plated, that is, when the detection part 103 slides on the slider 102, the distance the detection part 103 slides is the length of the component to be plated, and then the length of the component to be plated can be detected by monitoring the sliding condition of the detection part 103, which further facilitates the subsequent electroplating process;

[0043] A displacement sensor can be connected to the slider 102 by tightening bolts on the slider 102, and the moving end of the displacement sensor is fixed to the detection part 103 by tightening bolts, so as to monitor the sliding condition of the detection part 103 and achieve subsequent monitoring effect.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown:

[0045] The transverse rod 101 is provided with a plurality of scale marks 302 .

[0046] The provision of multiple scale marks 302 allows the staff to monitor the sliding of the detection unit 103 to detect the length of the component to be plated. They can also directly judge the length of the component to be plated by directly observing the position of the slider 102 facing the multiple scale marks 302 when the detection unit 103 slides, thereby further bringing convenience to actual use.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown:

[0048] It also includes a containing portion 602 fixedly connected to the slide seat 402 , and a rectangular groove 604 is defined in the containing portion 602 .

[0049] Before performing the cleaning operation, the equipment can be run once according to the expected trajectory, and pigment powder can be placed in the containing part 602. Each time the enhanced brush 405 reaches the cleaning position, the pigment powder in the containing part 602 is allowed to fall through the rectangular groove 604, thereby marking the position where enhanced cleaning is to be performed. At this time, the staff can directly observe whether the expected enhanced cleaning position coincides with the actual position with stubborn impurities, and then determine whether the enhanced cleaning program currently running meets the actual cleaning requirements, and then promptly perform subsequent program adjustment operations to ensure smooth subsequent processing.

[0050] As shown in 4:

[0051] It also includes a mesh plate 406 fixedly connected to the connecting clip 404.

[0052] Under normal circumstances, the connecting clamp 404 can cover the rectangular groove 604. When the connecting clamp 404 slides on the slide seat 402 according to the upcoming procedure, the mesh plate 406 on the connecting clamp 404 will move to a position overlapping with the rectangular groove 604, thereby allowing the pigment powder in the containing part 602 to fall through the mesh plate 406, thereby achieving the effect of sprinkling the pigment powder at the enhanced cleaning position.

[0053] As shown in 7:

[0054] The containing portion 602 is provided with an inclined portion 603 therein.

[0055] The inclined surface 603 can guide the pigment powder so that the pigment powder added into the containing portion 602 can all fall through the rectangular groove 604, which is convenient for the subsequent pigment powder sprinkling operation.

[0056] The electroplating equipment is used in an electroplating process, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0057] Step 1: Place the components to be electroplated directly under the cleaning section 201;

[0058] Step 2: Fix the components to be electroplated;

[0059] Step 3: Continuously spray clean water on the surface of the component, and slide the slider 102 on the transverse rod 101;

[0060] Step 4: operate the cleaning unit 201 to continuously rotate on the slider 102;

[0061] Step 5: When reaching the position to be enhanced cleaning, the slide 402 is operated to slide on the moving frame 401;

[0062] Step 6: Make the connecting clip 404 slide back and forth on the slide seat 402 at a high frequency continuously, and make the reinforcing brush 405 rotate continuously;

[0063] Step 7: Remove the components and carry out subsequent electroplating operations to complete the electroplating process.
