Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of feeding devices, and more particularly to an automatic feeding device for product electroplating. Background Art
[0002] Electroplating is the process of applying a thin layer of other metals or alloys to certain metal surfaces using the principle of electrolysis. The automatic loading device for electroplated products is an automated production line equipment used to remove electroplated products from storage racks or previous production links and perform electroplating processing according to a preset process flow. The use of an automatic loading device for electroplated products can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce labor intensity, and improve product quality and consistency.
[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent (application number: CN202220130251.1) discloses an automatic loading device for product electroplating, comprising a base and an electroplating tank, the electroplating tank is arranged on the upper surface of the base, and a support frame is installed on the upper surface of the base near the back, the top of the support frame is fixedly connected to a servo motor, and the transmission output end of the servo motor is transmission-connected to a loading tray, and loading racks are evenly distributed around the surface of the loading tray, the loading rack comprises a shaft, a connecting rod and a hollow carrier plate, the two ends of the connecting rod are respectively fixedly connected to the shaft and the hollow carrier plate, the bottom of the loading tray is inserted into the open end inside the electroplating tank, the loading tray is installed at the open end of the electroplating tank, and the servo motor drives the loading tray to perform uniform circular motion, shortening the feeding distance, and the products placed on the loading rack can be fully immersed in the electroplating liquid of the electroplating tank, thereby improving product quality.
[0004] When in use, the above-mentioned loading device holds the product through a hollow carrier plate, which means that the device can only electroplate one product at a time, and is difficult to apply to products that require batch electroplating. Moreover, after the electroplating is completed, the above-mentioned device requires a worker to stand on one of the pedals to take the product out of the hollow carrier plate, and the product is not dried after the electroplating is completed, which means that some electrolyte will remain on the surface of the product. If the product is taken directly, the electrolyte will adhere to the worker's hands, thereby affecting the worker's health.

The setting of the slide groove 32 and the T-shaped block 33 can improve the stability of the mounting block 13 during movement.
[0028] Working principle: When using, first hang the product on the hanger 10, then the rectangular sleeve 9 set at the top of the hanger 10 can be connected to one end of the L-shaped plate 8, and then the motor 27 can be started. The output shaft of the motor 27 drives one of the sprockets 6 to rotate, and under the action of the chain 7, the other sprocket 6 is driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the hanger 10 to follow the chain 7 to make a circular motion. When the hanger 10 is opposite to the clamping plate 22, a plastic block can be set on one side of the hanger 10. At this time, when the sensor 24 detects the plastic block, it will stop the motor 27 through the controller 28. The hanger 10 stops moving at this time, and then the controller 28 starts the electric push rod 15. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 15 pushes the mounting frame 16 toward the direction of the hanger 10 until the two clamping plates 22 move to both sides of the top of the hanger 10. Then the controller 28 starts the motor four 31. The output shaft of the motor four 31 drives the bidirectional screw rod 21 to rotate, thereby driving the two clamping plates 22 to approach each other, and then clamping the hanger 10 between the two clamping plates 22. After that, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 15 contracts, thereby removing the hanger 10 from one end of the L-shaped plate 8.
[0029] When loading, the motor 29 is started by the controller 28, and the output shaft of the motor 29 drives the threaded rod 23 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding block 11, the mounting rod 12 and the mounting block 13 to move left and right along the upper plate surface of the bottom plate 1, and also drives the hanger 10 clamped between the two clamping plates 22 to move. When the sensor 25 set on one side of the mounting block 13 detects the metal block 26, the sensor 25 will transmit the signal to the controller 28, and the motor 29 will stop working through the controller 28. Then the controller 28 will start the motor 30 at the same time, and the output shaft of the motor 30 will drive the mounting block 13 to rotate, so that the two clamping plates 22 rotate, thereby rotating the hanger 10 to the other side of the mounting block 13, so that the hanger 10 is close to the dragon The gantry 17 is then driven by the electric push rod 15 again to push the hanger 10 toward the direction of the connecting rod 19 until the rectangular sleeve 9 is sleeved on the connecting rod 34. At this time, the hanger 10 is located directly above the electrolysis zone 41 inside the processing frame 4. The electric push rod 15, motor two 29 and motor three 30 are then used again to restore the mounting block 13 to its initial position. The above operation is then repeated so that the hangers 10 are all installed on the three connecting rods 34. Finally, the motor five 37 is started, and the output shaft of the motor five 37 drives the winding roller 35 to rotate, thereby unfolding the wire rope, causing the mounting plate 20 and the connecting rod 34 to move downward, thereby immersing the hanger 10 in the electrolysis zone 41 in the processing frame 4, and then electroplating the product on the hanger 10.
[0030] After the electroplating of the products on the hanger 10 is completed, the motor five 37, the winding roller 35 and the wire rope 36 are used again to drive the mounting plate 20 to move upward, so that the hanger 10 moves upward, and then the gantry 17 can be pushed, and the hanger 10 moves to just above the washing area 42 set inside the processing frame 4. Then, the motor five 37, the winding roller 35 and the wire rope 36 are used again to drive the hanger 10 to move downward, so that the products on the hanger 10 are washed with water, and finally the above operation is repeated again, so that the hanger 10 can be moved to the drying area 43, so that the products on the hanger 10 are dried.
