[0032] The working principle of the multifunctional crystal electroplating electrolyzer of the present invention is as follows:

[0033] Step 1: During electroplating, operate on the display 15, and then the controller 14 starts the retractable electric cylinder 18 to drive the retractable rod 17 to move downward and contract. The retractable rod 17 drives the drive motor 16 to move downward, and the drive motor 16 drives the groove block 2 to move downward. The groove block 2 causes the air clamp 3 to move downward. The air clamp 3 drives the crystal 4 to be clamped, and the crystal 4 enters the interior of the electroplating tank 23. The DC power supply 20 supplies power to the current limiting resistor 19, the current limiting resistor 19 supplies power to the air clamp 3, and the air clamp 3 supplies power to the crystal 4. And the groove block 2 distributes power to the connecting wire 21.

[0034] The connecting wire 21 supplies power to the electrode 22. The crystal 4 enters the interior of the concave electroplating tank 23, and electroplating treatment can be performed on the crystal 4. After electroplating is completed, start the retractable electric cylinder 18 to drive the retractable rod 17 to move upward. The retractable rod 17 causes the drive motor 16 to move upward, and the drive motor 16 drives the groove block 2 to cause the air clamp 3 to move upward. The air clamp 3 drives the crystal 4 to move upward and reset to the highest point position.

[0035] Step 2: During electroplating electrolysis detection, then drive the groove column 6 to rotate by an inclined angle through the rotating motor 5, and then adjust the motor 8 to drive the screw rod 7 to rotate. The screw rod 7 rotates inside the groove column 6, and the screw rod 7 drives the threaded sleeve block 9 to move rightward under the action of the threaded driving force. The threaded sleeve block 9 drives the inclined frame 10 to move rightward, and the inclined frame 10 drives the push electric cylinder 11 to move rightward. The push electric cylinder 11 drives the support tank body 12 to move the electrolysis vision sensor 13 rightward. The push electric cylinder 11 simultaneously pushes the support tank body 12 downward, and the support tank body 12 drives the electrolysis vision sensor 13 downward. In this way, the electrolysis vision sensor 13 can detect the electroplated crystal 4. When electroplating is unqualified, re-electrolysis treatment is realized through the electrolysis tank 29. When the crystal 4 is in a qualified state, the crystal 4 is immediately cleaned.

[0036] Step 3: During cleaning, the drive motor 16 drives the groove block 2 to rotate. The groove block 2 drives the air clamp 3, causing the crystal 4 to rotate. Since the crystal 4 is located above the cleaning tank 24, the retractable cylinder 18 is driven to contract the retractable rod 17, causing the drive motor 16 to move downward. The drive motor 16 drives the groove block 2, causing the air clamp 3 to move downward. The air clamp 3 drives the crystal 4 to move downward, and the crystal 4 enters the interior of the cleaning tank 24. Thus, the cleaning tank 24 can perform a cleaning operation on the crystal 4. Meanwhile, the air supply pipe 26 delivers pressurized air into the delivery pipe 25, and the delivery pipe 25 fills the interior of the cleaning tank 24. The water body inside the cleaning tank 24 is aerated and flows to clean the electroplated crystal 4. When the crystal 4 moves up to the designated position of the nozzle 28, the pressurized air is delivered into the nozzle 28 through the gas nozzle 27, and the nozzle 28 performs a spraying process on the crystal 4, thereby realizing a drying process for the crystal 4.
