DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a PCB electroplating hanging basket with adjustable height, comprising an outer frame 1, a cross bar 2 is installed at the open end of the outer frame 1, and a cylinder 5 is installed on the side of the cross bar 2 facing the inner part of the outer frame 1, and the end of the cylinder 5 away from the cross bar 2 is installed at the bottom inner part of the outer frame 1, and a circular hole is opened on the upper surface of the cross bar 2, and a threaded cylinder 3 is installed in the circular hole. The threaded cylinder 3 is threadedly connected with a first screw 4, and the first screw 4 extends into the cylinder 5. A bearing 16 is installed at one end of the first screw 4 in the cylinder 5, and an extrusion rod 17 is installed in the bearing 16. A plurality of vertical grooves 12 are opened on the annular surface of the extrusion rod 17, and an extrusion block 11 is inserted in the vertical groove 12. By rotating the first screw 4, the position of the first screw 4 in the cylinder 5 is changed, thereby driving the position of the bearing 16 in the cylinder 5 to change. The change in the position of the bearing 16 in the cylinder 5 drives the extrusion rod 17 and the extrusion block 11 to change their positions in the cylinder 5.

[0027] A plurality of limiting rods 29 are installed on the annular surface of the extrusion rod 17, and a plurality of limiting grooves 31 are opened on the annular surface of the cylinder 5. The limiting rods 29 are inserted into the limiting grooves 31. The cooperation between the limiting rods 29 and the limiting grooves 31 ensures that the extrusion rod 17 can only move up and down in the cylinder 5 and cannot rotate.

[0028] A plurality of transverse tubes 21 filled with hydraulic oil are installed in the cylinder 5, and vertical tubes 18 are connected to each other on the upper and lower sides of the transverse tubes 21. A first piston 25 and a second piston 28 are slidably connected in the transverse tube 21 and the vertical tube 18 respectively. A pressure block 22 is installed on the side of the first piston 25 facing the outside of the transverse tube 21, and the pressure block 22 contacts the pressure block 22. A push rod 24 is installed on the side of the second piston 28 facing the outside of the vertical tube 18. The push rods 24 between two adjacent transverse tubes 21 are connected, and the extrusion block 11 is used to contact and support the pressure block 22, so that the pressure block 22 moves into the transverse tube 21. The pressure block 22 moves into the transverse tube 21 and squeezes the push rod 24 through the hydraulic oil, so that the push rod 24 moves to the side away from the transverse tube 21.

[0029] A moving ring 23 is slidably connected in the cylinder 5. The end of the push rod 24 away from the second piston 28 is connected to the moving ring 23. A plurality of moving grooves 30 are provided on the annular surface of the cylinder 5. A moving block 8 with a T-shaped cross section is slidably connected in the moving groove 30. The moving block 8 is connected to the moving ring 23. A partition net 7 is installed on the side of the moving block 8 facing the outside of the cylinder 5.

[0030] By setting an extrusion structure composed of a bearing 16, an extrusion rod 17 and an extrusion block 11 in the cylinder 5, the extrusion structure is used to push the pressure block 22 to move into the horizontal tube 21 and squeeze the liquid in the horizontal tube 21, so that the push rod 24 moves outward from the vertical tube 18, thereby driving the moving structure composed of the moving block 8 and the moving ring 23 to change position in the moving groove 30, and then simultaneously driving the positions of multiple partition nets 7 to change, thereby realizing the adjustment of the intervals between the partition nets 7.

[0031] A temporary storage tube 19 is installed at the contact point between the horizontal tube 21 and the upper vertical tube 18, and interception plates 27 are installed on both sides of the temporary storage tube 19. A sealing plate 26 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the interception plate 27. A threaded hole is provided on the annular surface of the cylinder 5, and a second screw 20 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The sealing plate 26 is rotatably connected to the second screw 20. A support rod 15 is installed on the side of the sealing plate 26 away from the second screw 20. The end of the support rod 15 away from the sealing plate 26 passes through the temporary storage tube 19 and is installed with a slider 14. A slide groove 13 is provided on the side of the extrusion block 11 facing the support rod 15, and the slider 14 is slidably connected in the slide groove 13.

[0032] By installing a temporary storage tube 19 at the contact point between the horizontal tube 21 and the upper vertical tube 18, and arranging a sealing structure composed of a second screw 20, an extension rod, a sealing plate 26, a support rod 15 and a slider 14 in the temporary storage tube 19, the sealing structure is blocked to achieve the position change of the movable structure at different positions, that is, the interval adjustment between the partition nets 7 at different positions.

[0033] In order to prevent the electroplating liquid from entering the cylinder 5 during electroplating, sealing cylinders 6 are installed on both the upper and lower sides of the moving block 8. The sealing cylinders 6 are slidably connected to the annular surface of the cylinder 5 to seal the moving groove 30.

[0034] In order to increase the protection of the second screw 20 , a sealing sleeve 9 is provided on the annular surface of the second screw 20 . The sealing sleeve 9 is installed on the annular surface of the cylinder 5 , and a sealing plug 10 is installed at the end of the sealing sleeve 9 away from the cylinder 5 .

[0035] In summary, when using this height-adjustable PCB electroplating hanging basket, first rotate the first screw 4, and adjust the position of the bearing 16 in the cylinder 5 through the first screw 4. When the first screw 4 rotates, the extrusion rod 17 is restricted in the restriction groove 31 by the restriction rod 29. At this time, the extrusion rod 17 will only move up and down in the cylinder 5. When the extrusion rod 17 moves downward, the extrusion rod 17 drives the extrusion block 11 set in the vertical groove 12 to contact the pressure block 22, and pushes the pressure block 22 into the horizontal tube 21. When the pressure block 22 moves into the horizontal tube 21, the hydraulic oil in the horizontal tube 21 pushes the push rod 24 to move outside the vertical cylinder 18, thereby driving the moving ring 23 to move upward. The upward movement of the moving ring 23 drives the moving block 8 to move upward in the moving ring, and at this time, the partition net 7 can be driven to move upward.

[0036] Since vertical cylinders 18 are installed on both the upper and lower sides of the horizontal tube 21, when the lower moving block 8 moves up and down, it will also squeeze the upper moving block 8 to move further upward. For example, if the bottom moving block 8 moves upward by 1 cm, the upper moving block 8 will move by 2 cm, and the upper moving block 8 will move by 3 cm, and so on, thereby achieving simultaneous adjustment of the spacing between multiple partition nets 7.

[0037] When it is necessary to adjust the spacing between individual partition nets 7, it is only necessary to rotate the second screw 20 under the partition net 7 that does not need to be adjusted into the cylinder 5. The second screw 20 moves into the cylinder 5 and pushes the sealing plate 26 to move, and blocks the connection between the vertical cylinder 18 and the temporary storage cylinder 19 to prevent the hydraulic oil in the vertical cylinder 18 from moving. At this time, when the position of the upper or lower partition net 7 is adjusted, it will not drive the moving block 8 of this layer to move. At the same time, when the sealing plate 26 moves, it drives the support rod 15 to move. The support rod 15 moves and then moves the extrusion block 11 into the vertical groove 12, and thus cannot contact the pressure block 22 of this layer, thereby preventing the pressure block 22 from hindering the movement of the extrusion rod 17, and the moving block 8 that is not blocked by the sealing plate 26 is normally supported and moved when the extrusion rod 17 moves. At this time, the adjustment of the spacing between some of the partition nets 7 can be completed.

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
