Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electroplating, and in particular to an environmentally friendly and energy-saving automatic electroplating system and a method of using the same. Background Art
[0002] Electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on certain metal surfaces using the principle of electrolysis. It is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a layer of metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts, thereby preventing metal oxidation, improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance and enhancing aesthetics. The outer layer of many coins is also electroplated. During electroplating, the plating metal or other insoluble materials serve as the anode, and the workpiece to be plated serves as the cathode. The cations of the plating metal are reduced on the surface of the workpiece to be plated to form a plating layer. In order to eliminate the interference of other cations and make the plating uniform and firm, a solution containing the plating metal cations is used as the plating solution to keep the concentration of the plating metal cations unchanged. The purpose of electroplating is to plate a metal coating on the substrate and change the surface properties or size of the substrate. Electroplating can enhance the corrosion resistance of metals, increase hardness, prevent wear, and improve conductivity, smoothness, heat resistance and surface aesthetics.
[0003] However, in the prior art, during electroplating, the liquid used in electroplating will be exposed to the air for a long time, causing the electroplating liquid to evaporate and pollute the surrounding air and working environment. In addition, during electroplating, workers need to pay attention to the electroplating time at all times. When they are busy, they are likely to forget the electroplating time, resulting in too long electroplating time, making the coating on the electroplated part too thick and wasting electricity.

[0042] Working principle:
[0043] Step 1: Move down the job, such as Figure 1 As shown, the degreasing agent, activating agent and electroplating liquid are added to the corresponding liquid box 102 from left to right in sequence. After the addition is completed, the closing plate 103 is turned over, and the opening of the liquid box 102 is blocked by the closing plate 103 to prevent the added liquid from being exposed to the air for a long time to produce volatile gas and pollute the surrounding air environment.

The fixed plate 206 drives the hook 207 to rotate together with the electroplated part. During rotation, the appearance and surface of the electroplated part are scanned and inspected by the appearance detector 401. If wrinkles and bubbles are found on the surface of the electroplated part, an instruction is sent to the PLC controller 406 through the wireless transmitter 1 402. The PLC controller 406 re-controls the motor 1 202 and the motor 2 305 to repeat steps one and two to electroplate the electroplated part again.

9. The environmentally friendly and energy-saving automatic electroplating system and its use method according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1. Preparation for electroplating. As shown in FIG1 , degreaser, activator and electroplating liquid are added to the corresponding liquid tank from left to right in sequence. After the addition is completed, the closing plate is turned over and the opening of the liquid tank is sealed by the closing plate to prevent the added liquid from being exposed to the air for a long time to produce volatile gas and pollute the surrounding air environment. The PLC controller is programmed and stored through an external computer, and the working time of the timing controller is set to control the electroplating time and reduce the loss caused by excessive electroplating time. S2, the hanging is moved down, and the electroplated parts are hung on the hook. At this time, the timing controller starts the working timing and transmits the signal to the wireless transmitter three through the wireless transmitter two. The wireless transmitter three receives the signal and starts the motor one through the PLC controller. When the motor is started, the motor one drives the screw one to rotate clockwise. When the screw one rotates, it drives the adjustment plate to move down in the door frame. When the adjustment plate moves down, it is limited by the round rod, so that the up and down movement trajectory of the adjustment plate is restricted. The adjustment plate drives the fixed plate to move down, and the fixed plate drives the hook and the electroplated parts to move down. The hook and the electroplated parts pass through the semicircular groove into the liquid tank, and the valve is squeezed when passing through the semicircular groove. The valve is bent downward and deformed. When passing through the liquid tank, the valve rebounds and re-seals the liquid tank. When the timing of the timing controller returns to zero, the motor one is controlled to be flipped through the PLC controller to lift the electroplated parts out of the liquid tank. S3. Adjustment and replacement. After the electroplated parts are electroplated in the first liquid tank, the PLC controller controls the start of motor 2. Motor 2 drives screw 2 to rotate. Screw 2 rotates in the slide slot. Screw 2 drives the moving block to move. As shown in Figure 1, the moving block moves from left to right in the slide slot. The moving block drives the rectangular plate to move while the moving block moves. The rectangular plate drives the gantry to move. When the gantry drives the electroplated parts to move to the top of the next liquid tank, the PLC controller controls motor 2 to stop and repeats the previous step to perform the electroplating operation again. S4. Appearance inspection. After the electroplating operation is completed in sequence, the PLC controller starts motor three, which drives the transmission rod to rotate, the transmission rod drives the fixed plate to rotate, and the fixed plate drives the hook to rotate together with the electroplated part. During rotation, the appearance and surface of the electroplated part are scanned and inspected by the appearance detector. If wrinkles and bubbles are found on the surface of the electroplated part, a command is sent to the PLC controller through the wireless transmitter. The PLC controller re-controls motor one and motor two to repeat the SS steps on the electroplated part. If the scan is qualified, the electroplating can be removed for cleaning.
