[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4, the present invention provides a technical solution: an electroplating device for preparing the negative electrode metal material of a rechargeable zinc battery, comprising: a load-bearing seat 1, inside which an electroplating device 2 is provided. Its function is to provide a stable bearing foundation for the whole device, ensure that the electroplating device 2 can be placed stably, and facilitate the subsequent electroplating work. The lower surface of the electroplating device 2 abuts against two support plates 3, and the two support plates 3 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the electroplating device 2. Such a symmetrical design can evenly share the weight of the electroplating device 2, keep the electroplating device 2 horizontally stable, and avoid tilting from affecting the electroplating effect. The lower surfaces of the two support plates 3 are fixedly connected with first fixing columns 4. The first fixing columns 4 play a role in connecting the support plates 3 with the components below, transmitting and dispersing the weight, and ensuring the structural stability. The lower surface of the first fixing column 4 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 6, and the limiting plate 6 contacts the lower surface of the load-bearing seat 1. The limiting plate 6 can prevent the first fixing column 4 from moving down excessively, limit its position, and maintain a reasonable distance for the whole support structure. A spring 5 is sleeved on the outer surface of the first fixing column 4, and the spring 5 abuts against the inner surface of the load-bearing seat 1. The spring 5 can play a role in buffering and shock absorption. When the device is vibrated or slightly impacted, it can protect the electroplating device 2 and the internal components from being damaged. Four hydraulic pumps 10 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the load-bearing seat 1. The hydraulic pumps 10 can provide lifting power for the device, meet the requirements of different working heights, and facilitate the operators to carry out electroplating operations and equipment maintenance. The output ends of the four hydraulic pumps 10 are all fixedly connected with hydraulic rods 11. The hydraulic rods 11 convert the power generated by the hydraulic pumps 10 into linear lifting motion, accurately control the height adjustment of the load-bearing seat 1 and the electroplating device 2. The lower surface of the hydraulic rod 11 is fixedly connected with a connecting seat 12. The connecting seat 12 plays a transitional role in connecting the hydraulic rod 11 and the support feet 13, making the force transmission more uniform and ensuring the stability of the support. Three support feet 13 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting seat 12. The three support feet 13 provide a stable ground support for the whole device, ensuring that the device will not shake or topple during the working process. A hydraulic controller 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the load-bearing seat 1. The hydraulic controller 24 facilitates the operator to control the hydraulic pumps 10, accurately adjust the hydraulic system, and realize automatic control.

[0023] The number of the first fixing columns 4 is several. The first fixing columns 4 are located below the electroplating device 2. Multiple first fixing columns 4 share the weight together, further enhancing the reliability of the support and ensuring the stability of the electroplating device 2. Second fixing columns 7 are arranged on both the left and right sides of the hydraulic pump 10. The second fixing columns 7 play an auxiliary fixing role for relevant components, enhancing the stability of the peripheral structure of the bearing seat 1. The number of the second fixing columns 7 is four. A first rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of the four second fixing columns 7. The first rotating shaft 9 provides rotational support for the rotating wheel 8, enabling the rotating wheel 8 to rotate flexibly, facilitating the movement of the device. A rotating wheel 8 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 9. The rotating wheel 8 facilitates the movement of the entire device. When it is necessary to change the working position, it saves the labor handling cost. A first connecting block 20 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the bearing seat 1. The first connecting block 20 is used to connect other components to build a complete structural system, ensuring the integrity of the device. A mating groove 21 is formed inside the first connecting block 20. The mating groove 21 provides a sliding track for the second connecting block 22, ensuring that the two are tightly connected and can slide relative to each other, realizing flexible adjustment. A second connecting block 22 is slidably connected to the inside of the mating groove 21. The second connecting block 22 cooperates with the first connecting block 20 to change the structural form as needed to adapt to different working scenarios. A positioning pin 23 is slidably connected to the inside of the second connecting block 22, and the positioning pin 23 contacts the upper surface of the first connecting block 20. The positioning pin 23 is used to fix the position of the second connecting block 22, ensuring the stability and reliability of the adjusted structure. A fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the second connecting block 22. The fixing block 14 serves as the installation base for the rotating column 15, bearing the weight of the rotating column 15 and its attached components. A rotating column 15 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixing block 14. The rotating column 15 provides a rotating fulcrum for the adjusting handle 16 and the mounting seat 17, realizing multi-angle adjustment. An adjusting handle 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating column 15. The adjusting handle 16 facilitates the operator to apply force manually to control the rotation of relevant components for fine adjustment. A mounting seat 17 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating column 15. The mounting seat 17 is used to fix the second rotating shaft 18, ensuring its stable operation and providing support for subsequent components. A second rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting seat 17. The second rotating shaft 18 provides rotational support for the adjusting wheel 19, enabling it to rotate flexibly, assisting the device to perform more precise position adjustment. An adjusting wheel 19 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second rotating shaft 18. The adjusting wheel 19 can assist the device to adjust the position at a fine level, cooperate with other components, and optimize the electroplating operation accuracy.

[0024] Working principle: The operator starts the hydraulic pump 10 through the hydraulic controller 24 on the side wall of the load-bearing seat 1. The hydraulic pump 10 works to drive the hydraulic rod 11 to lift and lower. The hydraulic rod 11 drives the connecting seat 12 and the upper load-bearing seat 1 and the electroplating device 2 to rise or fall together. After reaching the appropriate height, the hydraulic pump 10 is turned off. During the lifting and lowering process, the four second fixing columns 7 and the surrounding structure cooperate with the load-bearing seat 1 to keep the whole stable. The rotating wheel 8 can be rotated as needed to facilitate fine-tuning of the position. When operating or maintaining the workpiece in the electroplating device 2, the positioning pin 23 can be manually pulled out, force is applied by holding the adjustment handle 16, the rotating column 15 rotates with the fixed block 14 as the fulcrum, driving the mounting seat 17 and the second rotating shaft 18 and the adjustment wheel 19 below it to adjust the angle. At the same time, the second connecting block 22 can slide in the fitting groove 21 of the first connecting block 20. After adjusting to a position convenient for operation, the positioning pin 23 is inserted again to fix the structure. Then, the workpiece of the negative electrode metal material of the rechargeable zinc battery to be electroplated is carefully placed into the electroplating device 2, and the electroplating device 2 is turned on to start the electroplating process. During this period, the spring 5 continuously buffers the external vibration to ensure the smoothness of the electroplating process, and the limiting plate 6 prevents excessive displacement of the first fixing column 4 due to vibration. After electroplating is completed, the electroplating device 2 is turned off. If the device needs to be moved, with the help of the rotating wheel 8, the device can be conveniently moved to the designated storage or the next working area by pushing the load-bearing seat 1.
