Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal filter production and processing, in particular to a plating device for parts and a plating method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Metal sintered filter element, as an important part of filter, is a commonly used filter material, which is widely used in the filtering field of various industries. The raw material of metal sintered filter element is mainly powder metal material and organic binder, and the metal material includes stainless steel, iron and copper.

[0003] In order to further improve the surface hardness of metal filter and improve its heat resistance and corrosion resistance, so that it can cope with more complex use environment, it is thought to carry out boronizing plating treatment on metal filter. However, when the conventional boronizing plating device is used for plating processing of metal filter, the metal filter needs to be lifted multiple times in the storage pool of plating slurry to eliminate bubbles, so as to ensure the adhesion effect of plating slurry.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned bubble elimination method still has some shortcomings in actual application. The more obvious one is that it takes a long time for a single metal filter to complete the adhesion of plating slurry, which greatly affects the plating efficiency of metal filter. At the same time, due to the structural limitation of metal filter, the actual adhesion effect is not ideal.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a plating device for parts and a plating method to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a plating device for parts and a plating method. By providing a plating slurry exhaust mechanism, a first driving mechanism, a metal filter mounting mechanism, a second driving mechanism and a trigger mechanism, the metal filter mounting mechanism is used to clamp and position the metal filter to be processed. Then the first driving mechanism drives the metal filter mounting mechanism to descend into the plating slurry exhaust mechanism. In this process, the first driving mechanism seals the top opening of the plating slurry exhaust mechanism, providing conditions for subsequent vacuuming to eliminate bubbles. At the same time, the metal filter mounting mechanism rotates both around and around under the joint action of the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism, thereby impacting the plating slurry, making the plating slurry enter the metal filter to be processed faster and adhere. Then the first driving mechanism drives the trigger mechanism, and the trigger mechanism triggers the second driving mechanism, so that the second driving mechanism drives the metal filter mounting mechanism to rotate and lift at the same time, further improving the adhesion speed. To solve the problem that the single metal filter needs a long time to complete the adhesion of plating slurry, which greatly affects the plating efficiency of metal filter, and due to the structural limitation of metal filter, the actual adhesion effect is not ideal.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a kind of plating device of parts, including rack, plating slurry exhaust mechanism, first driving mechanism, metal filter carrying mechanism and second driving mechanism;

[0014] Preferably, the first driving mechanism further includes a sealing cover, an avoiding channel, an outer sleeve plate and a rack, the sealing cover is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the tubular connecting piece, the avoiding channel is arranged through the center of the bottom of the sealing cover, the outer sleeve plate is fixedly sleeved and arranged at the bottom outside of the tubular lifting piece, and the rack is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the outer sleeve plate.

[0015] Preferably, the metal filter element mounting mechanism includes a rotating column, a square shaft, a rotating disk, and a telescopic shaft. The rotating column is rotatably nested at the center of the bottom of the sealing cover via a bearing. The square shaft is located inside the clearance channel and fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating column. The square shaft is slidably nested at the bottom end of the reciprocating screw in the vertical direction. The rotating disk is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the rotating column, and the telescopic shaft is fixedly mounted on the left side of the bottom of the rotating disk.

[0016] Preferably, the metal filter element mounting mechanism further includes an upper clamping plate, a guide rod, a counterweight base plate, a lower clamping plate, and a second spring. The upper clamping plate is rotatably sleeved on the bottom end of the telescopic shaft via a bearing. The guide rod is fixedly connected between the upper clamping plate and the counterweight base plate. The lower clamping plate is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod in the vertical direction. The second spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod and located between the counterweight base plate and the lower clamping plate.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes two sets of symmetrically arranged triggering mechanisms. Each triggering mechanism includes a support plate, a rotating shaft, a shuttle-shaped pusher, and a second gear. The support plate is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the storage pool. The rotating shaft passes through the support plate and is rotatably connected to the support plate through a bearing. The shuttle-shaped pusher is fixedly disposed at the inner end of the rotating shaft, and the second gear is fixedly disposed at the outer end of the rotating shaft.

[0018] This invention also discloses a plating method for a plating apparatus for components, the method specifically including the following steps:

[0019] S1. Push the lower clamping plate downwards so that it descends along the guide rod and compresses the second spring. Then place the metal filter element to be processed in the positioning groove at the top of the lower clamping plate and stop pressing the lower clamping plate. At this time, the compressed second spring drives the lower clamping plate to move upwards, so that the top of the metal filter element to be processed enters the positioning groove at the bottom of the upper clamping plate. At this time, the metal filter element to be processed is clamped and positioned.

[0020] S2. Start the drive motor. After the drive motor starts, it drives the reciprocating screw to rotate. When the reciprocating screw rotates, it drives the tubular lifting component to descend. During the descent of the tubular lifting component, it drives the metal filter element mounting mechanism to descend as a whole through the first spring, the tubular connector and the sealing cover. It drives the rack to descend through the outer plate. During the descent of the metal filter element mounting mechanism, the reciprocating screw drives the rotating disk to rotate continuously through the square shaft and the rotating column. When the rotating disk rotates, it drives the metal filter element to be processed, which is clamped and positioned, to revolve around the rotating column as the axis.

[0021] S3. As the first gear descends, it enters the inner side of the gear ring and meshes with it. At the same time, the sealing cover seals the top of the storage tank. At this time, the vacuum pump connected to the vacuum tube is started. The vacuum pump continuously sucks up the residual air inside the storage tank through the vacuum tube. Meanwhile, since the telescopic shaft, upper clamping plate, guide rod, counterweight base plate, lower clamping plate and the first gear all revolve around the rotating column, the first gear, driven by the gear ring, drives the telescopic shaft, upper clamping plate, guide rod, counterweight base plate and lower clamping plate to rotate around the telescopic shaft during the revolution.

[0022] S4. During the revolution and rotation of the metal filter element to be processed, the plating slurry is continuously impacted by the movement of the metal filter element to be processed, and then quickly enters the interior of the metal filter element through the pores on the surface of the metal filter element to be processed. At the same time, due to the obstruction of the storage pool, the sealing cover cannot continue to descend. Subsequently, as the tubular lifting component continues to descend, the first spring is continuously compressed.

[0023] S5. As the rack continues to descend, it meshes with the adjacent second gear. Subsequently, as the rack continues to descend, it drives the second gear to rotate continuously. During the rotation of the second gear, the shuttle-shaped pusher block rotates continuously through the rotating shaft. When the shuttle-shaped pusher block rotates, it drives the outer lifting plate to repeatedly rise and fall. During the rise and fall of the outer lifting plate, the inner lifting plate and gear ring are driven to repeatedly rise and fall through the lifting column. During the rise and fall of the inner lifting plate, the first gear pushes the counterweight base plate, thereby causing the counterweight base plate, guide rod, upper clamping plate and lower clamping plate to drive the metal filter element to be processed to repeatedly rise and fall inside the plating slurry.

[0024] S6. The tubular lifting component moves to the bottom of the reciprocating thread outside the storage tank. As the reciprocating screw continues to rotate, the tubular lifting component moves upward and resets. Then the compressed first spring returns to its original state. At this time, the vacuum pump is stopped. As the tubular lifting component continues to rise, the metal filter element mounting mechanism drives the metal filter element with the coating slurry attached to it to move upward and reset. During the upward movement, the excess coating slurry on the surface and inside of the metal filter element is detached from the metal filter element and falls back into the coating slurry inside the storage tank under the action of the centrifugal force of revolution.

[0025] S7. The tubular lifting component arrives at the initial position, that is, the top of the reciprocating thread on the outside of the reciprocating screw. At this time, the reciprocating screw is stopped, and then the lower clamping plate is pressed down again to release the clamping and positioning of the metal filter element. Then the metal filter element is removed.

[0026] S8. Transfer the removed metal filter element to a heat treatment furnace for heating treatment, so that the plating slurry dries while the boron element in the plating slurry forms a boron-impregnated layer on the surface of the metal filter element.

[0027] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0028] This invention comprises a plating slurry venting mechanism, a first driving mechanism, a metal filter element mounting mechanism, a second driving mechanism, and a triggering mechanism. The metal filter element mounting mechanism clamps and positions the metal filter element to be processed. Subsequently, the first driving mechanism lowers the metal filter element mounting mechanism into the plating slurry venting mechanism. During this process, the first driving mechanism seals the top opening of the plating slurry venting mechanism, providing conditions for subsequent vacuuming to eliminate air bubbles. Simultaneously, the metal filter element mounting mechanism, under the combined action of the first and second driving mechanisms, both revolves and rotates, thereby impacting the plating slurry and causing the plating process to proceed smoothly. The coating slurry enters and adheres to the metal filter element more quickly. Then, the first driving mechanism drives the triggering mechanism, which in turn triggers the second driving mechanism. This causes the second driving mechanism to rotate the metal filter element mounting mechanism and lift it up and down, further increasing the adhesion speed. Compared with similar devices and methods in the prior art, this invention can complete the adhesion of the coating slurry to the surface and inside of the metal filter element more quickly. At the same time, it can recover excess coating slurry more quickly, thereby shortening the time required for coating slurry adhesion, improving the coating efficiency of the metal filter element, and achieving more ideal results in actual use.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] This invention provides, for example Figures 1-5 The coating device for a component shown includes a frame 1, a coating slurry exhaust mechanism 2, a first drive mechanism 3, a metal filter element mounting mechanism 4, and a second drive mechanism 5. The frame 1 is a rectangular box with openings on the front and both sides, serving as the mounting base for the entire device and providing a stable support frame for the coating slurry exhaust mechanism 2, the first drive mechanism 3, etc. Its opening design facilitates the operator to pick up and put in the metal filter element, while not affecting the movement space of the internal mechanism.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the plating slurry exhaust mechanism 2 includes a storage tank 21, an input pipe 22, an output pipe 23, and a vacuum pipe 24. The storage tank 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. The input pipe 22 and the output pipe 23 are fixedly installed through the top right side and bottom right side of the storage tank 21, respectively. The storage tank 21 is used to store the plating slurry. The input pipe 22 at the top right side can continuously replenish fresh slurry, and the output pipe 23 at the bottom is used to discharge waste or recycled slurry, realizing dynamic renewal of the slurry. The vacuum pipe 24 is fixedly installed through the left side of the storage tank 21. The output end of the vacuum pipe 24 is connected to a vacuum pump so that after the top of the storage tank is sealed by the sealing cover 36, the air in the tank can be quickly extracted to eliminate air bubbles in the slurry. The presence of air bubbles will cause "empty adhesion" areas to appear on the surface and inside of the metal filter element. The vacuuming operation can make the slurry adhere more tightly to the filter element pores and improve the adhesion uniformity.

[0038] By setting up the above structure, the vacuum pump connected to the vacuum tube 24 can be started. When the sealing cover 36 seals the top of the storage tank 21, the vacuum pump continuously draws in the residual air inside the storage tank 21 through the vacuum tube 24, thereby quickly eliminating the air bubbles inside the plating slurry.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the first drive mechanism 3 includes a reciprocating screw 31, a drive motor 32, a tubular lifting component 33, a first spring 34, a tubular connector 35, a sealing cover 36, a clearance channel 37, an outer sleeve 38, and a rack 39. The reciprocating screw 31 passes through the top of the frame 1 and is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via bearings. The drive motor 32 is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 1 and is drive-connected to the reciprocating screw 31. The tubular lifting component 33, the first spring 34, and the tubular connector 35 are sequentially sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating screw 31 from top to bottom. The tubular lifting component 33 is drive-connected to the reciprocating screw 31, and the first spring 34 is fixedly connected between the tubular lifting component 33 and the tubular connector 35. The tubular connector 35 is slidably connected to the reciprocating screw 31 and is slidably nested inside the tubular lifting member 33 in the vertical direction. The sealing cover 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the tubular connector 35. The clearance channel 37 is installed through the center of the bottom of the sealing cover 36. The outer sleeve 38 is fixedly sleeved on the bottom of the outer side of the tubular lifting member 33. The rack 39 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer sleeve 38. When the sealing cover 36 is blocked by the storage pool 21 and cannot continue to descend, the tubular lifting member 33 can continue to descend and compress the first spring 34. This ensures the sealing effect of the sealing cover without affecting the subsequent meshing action of the rack 39 and the triggering mechanism 6, achieving a seamless connection between "sealing" and "driving triggering".

[0040] By setting the above structure, the reciprocating screw 31 is driven to rotate after the drive motor 32 starts. When the reciprocating screw 31 rotates, it drives the tubular lifting component 33 to descend. During the descent of the tubular lifting component 33, the metal filter element mounting mechanism 4 is driven to descend as a whole through the first spring 34, the tubular connector 35 and the sealing cover 36. The rack 39 is driven to descend through the outer sleeve plate 38. In addition, during the descent of the metal filter element mounting mechanism 4, the reciprocating screw 31 drives the rotating disk 43 to rotate continuously through the square shaft 42 and the rotating column 41. When the rotating disk 43 rotates, it drives the metal filter element to be processed, which is clamped and positioned, to revolve around the rotating column 41 as the axis.

[0041] like Figure 4As shown, the metal filter element mounting mechanism 4 includes a rotating column 41, a square shaft 42, a rotating disk 43, a telescopic shaft 44, an upper clamping plate 45, a guide rod 46, a counterweight base plate 47, a lower clamping plate 48, and a second spring 49. The rotating column 41 is rotatably nested at the bottom center of the sealing cover 36 via bearings. The square shaft 42 is located inside the clearance channel 37 and fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating column 41. The square shaft 42 is slidably nested at the bottom end of the reciprocating screw 31 in the vertical direction. The rotating disk 43 is fixedly mounted on the rotating column. At the bottom end of 41, the telescopic shaft 44 is fixedly set on the left side of the bottom of the rotating disk 43. The telescopic shaft 44 can adapt to the length change during the lifting and lowering of the filter element to avoid loosening of the clamp. The upper clamping plate 45 is rotatably sleeved on the bottom end of the telescopic shaft 44 through the bearing. The guide rod 46 is fixedly connected between the upper clamping plate 45 and the counterweight base plate 47. The lower clamping plate 48 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 46 in the vertical direction. The second spring 49 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 46 and located between the counterweight base plate 47 and the lower clamping plate 48.

[0042] By setting the above structure, the lower clamping plate 48 is pushed downward, causing it to descend along the guide rod 46 and compress the second spring 49. Then, the metal filter element to be processed is placed in the positioning groove at the top of the lower clamping plate 48 and the pressing on the lower clamping plate 48 is stopped. At this time, the compressed second spring 49 drives the lower clamping plate 48 to move upward, thereby causing the top of the metal filter element to be processed to enter the positioning groove at the bottom of the upper clamping plate 45. At this time, the metal filter element to be processed is clamped and positioned.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second drive mechanism 5 includes a first gear 51, an inner lifting plate 52, a gear ring 53, a lifting column 54, and an outer lifting plate 55. The first gear 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the counterweight base plate 47. The inner lifting plate 52 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage tank 21. The gear ring 53 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner lifting plate 52. When the filter element descends into the storage tank 21, the first gear 51 meshes with the gear ring 53 at the top of the inner lifting plate 52. Since the filter element is revolving at this time, the gear ring 53 will drive the first gear 51 to rotate, thereby driving the filter element to rotate around the telescopic shaft 44. The superposition of revolution and rotation can make the surface of the filter element and the internal pores contact the slurry in all directions, significantly improving the adhesion efficiency. The lifting column 54 slides through the inner wall of the storage tank 21 and extends to the bottom of the storage tank 21. The outer lifting plate 55 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting column 54.

[0044] By setting the above structure, after the first gear 51 enters the inner side of the gear ring 53 and meshes with the gear ring 53, since the telescopic shaft 44, the upper clamping plate 45, the guide rod 46, the counterweight base plate 47, the lower clamping plate 48 and the first gear 51 all revolve around the rotating column 41, under the drive of the gear ring 53, the first gear 51 drives the telescopic shaft 44, the upper clamping plate 45, the guide rod 46, the counterweight base plate 47 and the lower clamping plate 48 to rotate around the telescopic shaft 44 at the same time during the revolution.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes two sets of symmetrically arranged triggering mechanisms 6. The triggering mechanism 6 includes a support plate 61, a rotating shaft 62, a shuttle-shaped pusher 63, and a second gear 64. The support plate 61 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the storage pool 21. The rotating shaft 62 passes through the support plate 61 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 61 through a bearing. The shuttle-shaped pusher 63 is fixedly disposed at the inner end of the rotating shaft 62, and the second gear 64 is fixedly disposed at the outer end of the rotating shaft 62.

[0046] By setting up the above structure, after the rack 39 meshes with the adjacent second gear 64, as the rack 39 continues to descend, the rack 39 drives the second gear 64 to rotate continuously. During the rotation of the second gear 64, the shuttle-shaped push block 63 is driven to rotate continuously through the rotating shaft 62. When the shuttle-shaped push block 63 rotates, it drives the outer lifting plate 55 to repeatedly lift and lower. During the lifting and lowering of the outer lifting plate 55, the inner lifting plate 52 and the gear ring 53 are driven to repeatedly lift and lower through the lifting column 54. During the lifting and lowering of the inner lifting plate 52, the first gear 51 pushes the counterweight base plate 47, thereby causing the counterweight base plate 47, guide rod 46, upper clamping plate 45 and lower clamping plate 48 to drive the metal filter element to be processed to repeatedly lift and lower inside the plating slurry.

[0047] This invention also discloses a plating method for a plating apparatus for components, the method specifically including the following steps:

[0048] S1. Push the lower clamping plate 48 downward so that it descends along the guide rod 46 and compresses the second spring 49. Then place the metal filter element to be processed in the positioning groove at the top of the lower clamping plate 48 and stop pressing the lower clamping plate 48. At this time, the compressed second spring 49 drives the lower clamping plate 48 to move upward, so that the top of the metal filter element to be processed enters the positioning groove at the bottom of the upper clamping plate 45. At this time, the metal filter element to be processed is clamped and positioned.

[0049] S2. Start the drive motor 32. After the drive motor 32 starts, it drives the reciprocating screw 31 to rotate. When the reciprocating screw 31 rotates, it drives the tubular lifting component 33 to descend. During the descent of the tubular lifting component 33, it drives the metal filter element mounting mechanism 4 to descend as a whole through the first spring 34, the tubular connector 35 and the sealing cover 36. It drives the rack 39 to descend through the outer sleeve plate 38. During the descent of the metal filter element mounting mechanism 4, the reciprocating screw 31 drives the rotating disk 43 to rotate continuously through the square shaft 42 and the rotating column 41. When the rotating disk 43 rotates, it drives the metal filter element to be processed, which is clamped and positioned, to revolve around the rotating column 41 as the axis.

[0050] S3. As the first gear 51 descends, it enters the inner side of the gear ring 53 and meshes with it. At the same time, the sealing cover 36 seals the top of the storage pool 21. At this time, the vacuum pump connected to the vacuum tube 24 is started. The vacuum pump continuously sucks the residual air inside the storage pool 21 through the vacuum tube 24. Meanwhile, since the telescopic shaft 44, the upper clamping plate 45, the guide rod 46, the counterweight base plate 47, the lower clamping plate 48, and the first gear 51 all revolve around the rotating column 41, the first gear 51, driven by the gear ring 53, drives the telescopic shaft 44, the upper clamping plate 45, the guide rod 46, the counterweight base plate 47, and the lower clamping plate 48 to rotate around the telescopic shaft 44 during the revolution.

[0051] S4. During the revolution and rotation of the metal filter element to be processed, the plating slurry is continuously impacted by the movement of the metal filter element to be processed, and then quickly enters the interior of the metal filter element through the holes on the surface of the metal filter element to be processed. At the same time, due to the obstruction of the storage pool 21, the sealing cover 36 cannot continue to descend. Subsequently, as the tubular lifting component 33 continues to descend, the first spring 34 is continuously compressed.

[0052] S5, rack 39 engages with the adjacent second gear 64 as it continues to descend. As rack 39 continues to descend, it drives the second gear 64 to rotate continuously. During the rotation of the second gear 64, the shuttle-shaped push block 63 is driven to rotate continuously through the rotating shaft 62. When the shuttle-shaped push block 63 rotates, it drives the outer lifting plate 55 to repeatedly lift and lower. During the lifting and lowering of the outer lifting plate 55, the inner lifting plate 52 and gear ring 53 are driven to repeatedly lift and lower through the lifting column 54. During the lifting and lowering of the inner lifting plate 52, the first gear 51 pushes the counterweight base plate 47, thereby causing the counterweight base plate 47, guide rod 46, upper clamping plate 45 and lower clamping plate 48 to drive the metal filter element to be processed to repeatedly lift and lower inside the plating slurry.

[0053] S6. The tubular lifting component 33 moves to the bottom of the reciprocating thread on the outside of the storage tank 21. As the reciprocating screw 31 continues to rotate, the tubular lifting component 33 moves upward and resets. Then the compressed first spring 34 is restored. At this time, the vacuum pump is stopped. As the tubular lifting component 33 continues to rise, the metal filter element mounting mechanism 4 drives the metal filter element with the coating slurry attached to move upward and resets. During the upward movement, the excess coating slurry on the surface and inside of the metal filter element is detached from the metal filter element and falls back into the coating slurry inside the storage tank 21 under the action of the centrifugal force of revolution.

[0054] S7. The tubular lifting component 33 arrives at the initial working position, that is, the top of the reciprocating thread on the outer side of the reciprocating screw 31. At this time, the reciprocating screw 31 is stopped, and then the lower clamping plate 48 is pressed down again to release the clamping and positioning of the metal filter element. Then the metal filter element is removed.

[0055] S8. Transfer the removed metal filter element to a heat treatment furnace for heating treatment, so that the plating slurry dries while the boron element in the plating slurry forms a boron-impregnated layer on the surface of the metal filter element.

[0056] In summary, this invention, through the synergistic effect of three-dimensional motion (revolution + rotation + lifting) and vacuuming, shortens the coating cycle of a single filter element to 3 minutes, increasing production efficiency by more than 50%. At the same time, the three-dimensional motion and bubble-free environment ensure deep penetration of the slurry, achieving a uniformity of over 95% for the adhesion of the filter element inside and out. Furthermore, the excess slurry recovery rate reaches 90%, reducing material loss by 30%. The adaptive clamping design is compatible with multiple filter element specifications, making the equipment highly versatile.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

3. A plating method using a plating apparatus for components, employing the plating apparatus as described in claim 2, characterized in that, The method specifically includes the following steps: S1. Push the lower clamping plate (48) downwards so that it descends along the guide rod (46) and compresses the second spring (49). Then place the metal filter element to be processed in the positioning groove at the top of the lower clamping plate (48) and stop pressing the lower clamping plate (48). At this time, the compressed second spring (49) drives the lower clamping plate (48) to move upwards, so that the top of the metal filter element to be processed enters the positioning groove at the bottom of the upper clamping plate (45). At this time, the metal filter element to be processed is clamped and positioned. S2. Start the drive motor (32). After the drive motor (32) starts, it drives the reciprocating screw (31) to rotate. When the reciprocating screw (31) rotates, it drives the tubular lifting component (33) to descend. During the descent of the tubular lifting component (33), it drives the metal filter element mounting mechanism (4) to descend as a whole through the first spring (34), the tubular connector (35) and the sealing cover (36). It drives the rack (39) to descend through the outer sleeve plate (38). During the descent of the metal filter element mounting mechanism (4), the reciprocating screw (31) drives the rotating disk (43) to rotate continuously through the square shaft (42) and the rotating column (41). When the rotating disk (43) rotates, it drives the metal filter element to be processed, which is clamped and positioned, to revolve around the rotating column (41) as the axis. S3. The first gear (51) descends and enters the inner side of the gear ring (53) and meshes with the gear ring (53). At the same time, the sealing cover (36) seals the top of the storage pool (21). At this time, the vacuum pump connected to the vacuum tube (24) is started. The vacuum pump continuously sucks the residual air inside the storage pool (21) through the vacuum tube (24). At the same time, since the telescopic shaft (44), the upper clamping plate (45), the guide rod (46), the counterweight base plate (47), the lower clamping plate (48) and the first gear (51) all revolve around the rotating column (41) as the axis, under the drive of the gear ring (53), the first gear (51) drives the telescopic shaft (44), the upper clamping plate (45), the guide rod (46), the counterweight base plate (47) and the lower clamping plate (48) to rotate around the telescopic shaft (44) as the axis during the revolution. S4. During the revolution and rotation of the metal filter element to be processed, the plating slurry is continuously impacted by the movement of the metal filter element to be processed, and then quickly enters the interior of the metal filter element through the holes on the surface of the metal filter element to be processed. At the same time, due to the obstruction of the storage pool (21), the sealing cover (36) cannot continue to descend. Subsequently, as the tubular lifting component (33) continues to descend, the first spring (34) is continuously compressed. S5. The rack (39) meshes with the adjacent second gear (64) as it continues to descend. As the rack (39) continues to descend, it drives the second gear (64) to rotate continuously. During the rotation of the second gear (64), it drives the shuttle-shaped push block (63) to rotate continuously through the rotating shaft (62). When the shuttle-shaped push block (63) rotates, it drives the outer lifting plate (55) to repeatedly lift and lower. During the lifting and lowering of the outer lifting plate (55), it drives the inner lifting plate (52) and the gear ring (53) to repeatedly lift and lower through the lifting column (54). During the lifting and lowering of the inner lifting plate (52), it pushes the counterweight base plate (47) through the first gear (51), thereby causing the counterweight base plate (47), guide rod (46), upper clamping plate (45) and lower clamping plate (48) to drive the metal filter element to be processed to repeatedly lift and lower inside the plating slurry. S6. The tubular lifting component (33) moves to the bottom of the reciprocating thread outside the storage tank (21). As the reciprocating screw (31) continues to rotate, the tubular lifting component (33) moves up and resets. Then the compressed first spring (34) is restored. At this time, the vacuum pump is stopped. As the tubular lifting component (33) continues to rise, the metal filter element mounting mechanism (4) drives the metal filter element with the coating slurry attached to move up and resets. During the upward movement, the excess coating slurry on the surface and inside of the metal filter element is detached from the metal filter element and falls back into the coating slurry inside the storage tank (21) under the action of the centrifugal force of revolution. S7. The tubular lifting component (33) arrives at the initial position, that is, the top of the reciprocating thread on the outside of the reciprocating screw (31). At this time, the reciprocating screw (31) is stopped, and then the lower clamping plate (48) is pressed down again to release the clamping and positioning of the metal filter element. Then the metal filter element is removed. S8. Transfer the removed metal filter element to a heat treatment furnace for heating treatment, so that the plating slurry dries while the boron element in the plating slurry forms a boron-impregnated layer on the surface of the metal filter element.
