Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe plug processing technology, specifically to a pipe plug electroplating device. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is a process that deposits a thin film onto the surface of an object using the principle of electrolysis. Pipe plugs require electroplating on their outer surface to improve their wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and other properties. During electroplating, the object is immersed in the electroplating solution. The plating metal or other insoluble material acts as the anode, and the workpiece to be plated acts as the cathode. The cations of the plating metal are reduced on the surface of the workpiece to form the plating layer.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent publication number "CN219709635U" discloses an easy-to-operate tube plug electroplating device. Through the interaction of an electroplating tank, an electroplating frame, a tube plug body, a lifting platform, a fixing plate, an electroplating rack, a flow hole, and a lifting device, multiple tube plug bodies are placed on the electroplating rack. After the tube plug bodies are electroplated in the electroplating tank, the lifting device raises the electroplating frame to allow the multiple tube plug bodies inside to dry. Simultaneously, the electroplating solution adhering to the tube plug bodies returns to the electroplating tank, avoiding waste. Finally, pushing the electroplating frame moves all the electroplated tube plugs, making it more convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving. This solves the problem of existing methods where, after electroplating, each electroplated tube plug needs to be manually removed and dried, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] Currently, the most common method for electroplating pipe plugs is to directly immerse the pipe plug in the electroplating bath to complete the electroplating process, as described above. This is achieved by placing the pipe plug in an electroplating frame and then immersing the frame in the electroplating solution. However, in this method, the electroplating solution in the bath is static. Although the height of the electroplating frame can be adjusted to allow the pipe plug to repeatedly contact the solution, the static state of the solution means that the metal ions are unevenly distributed. Some areas may receive excessive electroplating deposits, while others may not receive enough. This can lead to uneven thickness on the surface of the pipe plug and even electroplating defects, ultimately affecting the electroplating effect of the pipe plug. Summary of the Invention

The L-shaped slide plate is slidably installed with the mounting base.

[0018] This invention provides an electroplating device for pipe plugs. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. In this invention, after the tube plug to be electroplated is placed on the hook, the hydraulic cylinders on each connecting vertical plate are activated. The hydraulic cylinders drive the auxiliary components on the lifting plate and the tube plug on the hook to descend into the electroplating tank. Then, driven by the drive motor, the rotation of the active sprocket and the cooperation of the driven sprocket cause the connecting horizontal plate on the sprocket to move synchronously. By adjusting the position of the tube plug on the hook in the electroplating tank, it is ensured that the tube plug can be evenly contacted with the electroplating solution, thus ensuring the electroplating effect of the tube plug.

[0020] 2. In this invention, when the tube plug on the hook moves within the electroplating tank, the ring gear on the lifting rod meshes sequentially with the first tooth block group on the ring rod and the second tooth block group on the horizontal rod. Through the engagement of the ring gear with the first and second tooth block groups, the tube plug on the hook rotates intermittently in both directions with the lifting rod. The rotation of the lifting rod in different directions ensures contact between the tube plug and the electroplating solution. Simultaneously, the rotatable lifting rod and hook effectively agitate the electroplating solution within the electroplating tank. When the lifting rod moves in a ring within the electroplating tank, its bottom end contacts and slides sequentially with the inner bottom of the electroplating tank and the arc-shaped block. When the lifting rod is lifted by the reaction force of the arc-shaped block, it rises through the engagement of the positioning slider and the positioning groove without affecting its rotation. By adjusting the height of the lifting rod, the position of the tube plug on the hook within the electroplating tank is adjusted, further enhancing the contact effect between the tube plug and the electroplating solution.

[0021] 3. In this invention, when the sprocket belt is in the transmission process, it will drive the linkage sprocket to rotate. The linkage sprocket will drive the worm on the reciprocating screw to rotate synchronously. By utilizing the cooperation between the worm and the worm wheel, the rotation of the worm wheel will drive the surging blades on the rotating shaft to rotate at high speed in the surging groove. The power generated by the surging blades will make the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank in a rolling state, ensuring that the tube plug comes into contact with the rolling electroplating solution and ensuring the electroplating effect of the tube plug.

[0022] 4. In this invention, the air pump is started, and gas is injected into the electroplating solution through the distributor pipe, hose, and air outlet on the exhaust pipe. This forms bubbles that agitate the electroplating solution, preventing uneven deposition of metal ions and improving the density and adhesion of the electroplated layer. Then, by rotating the reciprocating screw, the lifting screw block on the reciprocating screw is limited by the crescent pin and the T-shaped slide groove, and is in a reciprocating lifting state. By utilizing the cooperation between the drive rod and the T-shaped slider and the limiting sliding between the L-shaped slide plate and the mounting base, the exhaust pipe installed on the L-shaped slide plate can move back and forth in the electroplating tank. By adjusting the position of the air outlet, local gas accumulation is effectively avoided, the gas-liquid mixing effect is enhanced, the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank is kept in a flowing state, and the contact effect between the pipe plug and the electroplating solution is enhanced.

[0033] 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.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-9This invention relates to an electroplating device for pipe plugs, comprising an electroplating tank 1, an installation base 2 fixedly installed inside the electroplating tank 1, a support column 3 fixedly installed on the installation base 2, a top seat 4 fixedly installed at the top of the support column 3, a circulation assembly on the top seat 4, a connecting vertical plate 5 fixedly installed on the circulation assembly, a hydraulic cylinder 6 fixedly installed on the connecting vertical plate 5, a lifting plate 7 fixedly installed on the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 6, an auxiliary assembly on the lifting plate 7, and a hook 8 on the auxiliary assembly for suspending the pipe plug. The circulation assembly includes a drive motor 11 fixedly installed on the top seat 4. A drive sprocket 12 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 11. A driven shaft 13 is fixedly mounted on the top seat 4 and on one side of the drive motor 11. A driven sprocket 14 is fixedly mounted on the driven shaft 13. A sprocket belt 15 is movably mounted on the drive sprocket 12 and the driven sprocket 14. A connecting horizontal plate 16 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the sprocket belt 15. A connecting vertical plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the connecting horizontal plate 16. The connecting horizontal plate 16 is slidably mounted on the top seat 4. The structure of the sprocket belt 15, the drive sprocket 12, and the driven sprocket 14 is a technology well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] In this embodiment, after the tube plug to be electroplated is placed on the hook 8, the hydraulic cylinders 6 on each connecting vertical plate 5 are activated. The hydraulic cylinders 6 drive the auxiliary components on the lifting plate 7 and the tube plug on the hook 8 to descend into the electroplating tank 1. Then, driven by the drive motor 11, the rotation of the active sprocket 12 and the cooperation of the driven sprocket 14 cause the connecting horizontal plate 16 on the sprocket belt 15 to move synchronously. By adjusting the position of the tube plug on the hook 8 in the electroplating tank 1, it is ensured that the tube plug can be evenly contacted with the electroplating solution, thus ensuring the electroplating effect of the tube plug.

[0036] The auxiliary components include a limiting rotating column 17 fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 7, a connecting rod 18 fixedly mounted on the side end face of the limiting rotating column 17, a ring gear 19 fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 18, a lifting rod 20 slidably mounted inside the limiting rotating column 17, a fixing rod 21 fixedly mounted on the lifting rod 20, a positioning slider 22 fixedly mounted on the outer side of the lifting rod 20, a positioning groove 23 that cooperates with the positioning slider 22 is opened inside the limiting rotating column 17, a limiting baffle 24 fixedly mounted at the top of the lifting rod 20, multiple arc-shaped blocks 25 fixedly mounted at the inner bottom of the electroplating tank 1, a ring rod 26 fixedly mounted on the inner side of the electroplating tank 1, a first tooth block group 27 fixedly mounted on the ring rod 26, symmetrically arranged horizontal rods 28 fixedly mounted on the outer side of the mounting base 2, and a second tooth block fixedly mounted on the outer side of the horizontal rods 28. Group 29, the position of the limiting baffle 24 is above the lifting plate 7, the bottom end of the lifting rod 20 contacts and slides in sequence with the inner bottom of the electroplating tank 1 and the arc block 25, the positioning slider 22 is slidably installed inside the positioning groove 23, the ring gear 19 meshes with the first tooth block group 27 and the second tooth block group 29 in sequence, the hook 8 is fixedly installed on the fixed rod 21, wherein after the lifting rod 20 is raised by the action of the arc block 25, it will fall back to the original position by its own weight, and through the action of the limiting baffle 24, it is ensured that the lifting rod 20 will not fall off when it falls. At the same time, there are multiple arc blocks 25, and the height of the arc blocks 25 can be adjusted according to the needs of the personnel, and arc blocks 25 of different heights can be replaced. By using arc blocks 25 of different heights, the lifting rod 20 can be at different heights when it is raised.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the tube plug on the hook 8 moves within the electroplating tank 1, the ring gear 19 on the lifting rod 20 sequentially meshes with the first tooth block group 27 on the ring rod 26 and the second tooth block group 29 on the horizontal rod 28. Through the engagement of the ring gear 19 with the first tooth block group 27 and the second tooth block group 29, the tube plug on the hook 8 rotates intermittently in both directions following the lifting rod 20. This rotation of the lifting rod 20 in different directions ensures contact between the tube plug and the electroplating solution. Simultaneously, the rotatable lifting rod 20 and the hook 8 effectively regulate the electroplating solution. The electroplating solution in the plating tank 1 acts as a stirrer. When the lifting rod 20 moves in a circular motion within the electroplating tank 1, the bottom end of the lifting rod 20 will successively contact and slide against the inner bottom of the electroplating tank 1 and the arc-shaped block 25. When the lifting rod 20 is lifted by the reaction force of the arc-shaped block 25, the lifting rod 20 will rise through the cooperation of the positioning slider 22 and the positioning groove 23 without affecting the rotation of the lifting rod 20. By adjusting the height of the lifting rod 20, the position of the tube plug on the hook 8 in the electroplating tank 1 can be adjusted, further improving the contact effect between the tube plug and the electroplating solution.

[0038] The mounting base 2 is equipped with a surging assembly, which includes surging blades 9 and an air outlet 10. The surging assembly includes a reciprocating screw 30 rotatably mounted on the top seat 4, a linkage sprocket 31 fixedly mounted at the top of the reciprocating screw 30, and a worm gear 32 fixedly mounted on the reciprocating screw 30. The mounting base 2 has an internal mounting groove 33, and a rotating shaft 34 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting groove 33. A worm gear 35 is fixedly mounted at one end of the rotating shaft 34. The outer side of the mounting base 2 has a surging groove 36. The worm gear 32 is positioned inside the mounting groove 33 and meshes with the worm gear 35, causing surging... The blade 9 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 34. The position of the surging blade 9 is inside the surging groove 36. The linkage sprocket 31 is movably mounted with the sprocket belt 15. An air pump 37 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 2. The output end of the air pump 37 is fixedly connected to a diverter pipe 38. The end of the diverter pipe 38 away from the air pump 37 is fixedly connected to a hose 39. An exhaust pipe 40 is fixedly mounted on the end of the hose 39 away from the diverter pipe 38. An air outlet 10 is fixedly mounted on the exhaust pipe 40. A lifting screw block 41 is movably mounted on the reciprocating screw 30. A crescent pin 42 is movably mounted on the lifting screw block 41. A drive rod 43 is rotatably mounted on block 41. A T-shaped groove 44 is provided on mounting base 2. A T-shaped slider 45 is slidably mounted within the T-shaped groove 44. An L-shaped slide plate 46 is fixedly mounted on the T-shaped slider 45. One end of the drive rod 43, away from the lifting screw block 41, extends into the interior of the T-shaped groove 44 and is rotatably connected to the T-shaped slider 45. The drive rod 43 and the T-shaped groove 44 are slidably mounted. An exhaust pipe 40 is fixedly mounted on the L-shaped slide plate 46. The L-shaped slide plate 46 is slidably mounted on mounting base 2. A flow channel is provided on mounting base 2, which communicates with the surging channel 36. When the surging blade 9 rotates at high speed, it can create a surging effect on the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 1. At the same time, the surging blade 9 is designed in a curved shape. When rotating, the electroplating solution is driven by the surging blade 9 and flows along the curved surface of the surging blade 9. When the liquid comes into contact with the curved surface, it will be accelerated and pushed outward. The number of heads of the worm 32 is ten or fifteen times that of the worm wheel 35, ensuring that the worm wheel 35 is in a high-speed rotating state while the worm 32 is rotating slowly. The rotation speed of the worm wheel 35 can be adjusted according to the needs of the operator.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the sprocket belt 15 is in the transmission process, it will drive the linkage sprocket 31 to rotate. The linkage sprocket 31 drives the worm gear 32 on the reciprocating screw 30 to rotate synchronously. Utilizing the cooperation between the worm gear 32 and the worm wheel 35, the rotation of the worm wheel 35 drives the surging blades 9 on the rotating shaft 34 to rotate at high speed in the surging groove 36. The power generated by the surging blades 9 causes the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 1 to be in a rolling state, ensuring that the pipe plug is in contact with the rolling electroplating solution and ensuring the electroplating effect of the pipe plug. At the same time, the air pump 37 is started, and gas is injected into the electroplating solution through the diverter pipe 38, the hose 39, and the air outlet 10 on the exhaust pipe 40 to form bubbles that agitate the electroplating solution and prevent metal from being trapped. Uneven ion deposition improves the density and adhesion of the electroplated layer. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 30 causes the lifting screw block 41 on the screw to reciprocate through the crescent pin 42 and the limiting position of the drive rod 43 and the T-shaped slide 44. The cooperation between the drive rod 43 and the T-shaped slider 45, along with the limiting sliding between the L-shaped slide plate 46 and the mounting base 2, allows the exhaust pipe 40 mounted on the L-shaped slide plate 46 to reciprocate within the electroplating tank 1. By adjusting the position of the exhaust head 10, local gas accumulation is effectively avoided, enhancing the gas-liquid mixing effect and ensuring the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 1 remains in a flowing state, thus improving the contact effect between the pipe plug and the electroplating solution.

[0040] Working principle: In use, after the tube plug to be electroplated is placed on the hook 8, the hydraulic cylinders 6 on each connecting vertical plate 5 are activated. The hydraulic cylinders 6 drive the auxiliary components on the lifting plate 7 and the tube plug on the hook 8 to descend into the electroplating tank 1. Then, driven by the drive motor 11, the rotation of the drive sprocket 12 and the cooperation of the driven sprocket 14 cause the connecting horizontal plate 16 on the sprocket belt 15 to move synchronously. By adjusting the position of the tube plug on the hook 8 in the electroplating tank 1, it is ensured that the tube plug can be evenly contacted with the electroplating solution. When the tube plug on the hook 8 moves in the electroplating tank 1, the ring gear 19 on the lifting rod 20 will sequentially engage with the first tooth block group 27 on the ring rod 26 and the horizontal plate 16. The second toothed block group 29 on rod 28 meshes, and through the cooperation of the ring gear 19 with the first toothed block group 27 and the second toothed block group 29, the tube plug on hook 8 will intermittently rotate forward and backward with the lifting rod 20. Through the rotation of the lifting rod 20 in different directions, the tube plug is kept in contact with the electroplating solution. At the same time, the rotatable lifting rod 20 and hook 8 can effectively stir the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 1. When the lifting rod 20 moves in a circle in the electroplating tank 1, the bottom end of the lifting rod 20 will successively contact and slide against the inner bottom of the electroplating tank 1 and the arc-shaped block 25. When the lifting rod 20 is lifted by the reaction force of the arc-shaped block 25, the lifting rod 20 will be lifted by the cooperation of the positioning slider 22 and the positioning groove 23 without affecting the lifting rod. The rotation of the lifting rod 20 causes it to rise. By adjusting the height of the lifting rod 20, the position of the tube plug on the hook 8 in the electroplating tank 1 is adjusted. When the sprocket belt 15 is in the transmission process, it drives the linkage sprocket 31 to rotate. The linkage sprocket 31 drives the worm gear 32 on the reciprocating screw 30 to rotate synchronously. With the cooperation of the worm gear 32 and the worm wheel 35, the rotation of the worm wheel 35 drives the surging blade 9 on the rotating shaft 34 to rotate at high speed in the surging groove 36. The power generated by the surging blade 9 makes the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 1 tumble, ensuring that the tube plug is in contact with the tumbling electroplating solution. The air pump 37 is started, and gas is injected into the electroplating solution through the diversion pipe 38, the hose 39 and the air outlet 10 on the exhaust pipe 40. In the process, bubbles are formed to agitate the electroplating solution, preventing uneven deposition of metal ions and improving the density and adhesion of the electroplating layer. Then, by rotating the reciprocating screw 30, the lifting screw block 41 on the reciprocating screw 30 is in a reciprocating lifting state through the crescent pin 42 and the limiting of the drive rod 43 and the T-shaped slide 44. Then, by using the cooperation of the drive rod 43 and the T-shaped slider 45 and the limiting sliding between the L-shaped slide plate 46 and the mounting base 2, the exhaust pipe 40 installed on the L-shaped slide plate 46 can move back and forth in the electroplating tank 1. By adjusting the position of the exhaust head 10, local gas accumulation is effectively avoided, the gas-liquid mixing effect is enhanced, the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 1 is kept in a flowing state, and the contact effect between the pipe plug and the electroplating solution is enhanced.

[0041] In this technical solution, the input port of the air pump 37 is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe, which is equipped with a filter mechanism to prevent impurities in the external gas from entering the electroplating solution and affecting the performance of the electroplating solution. Since the structure and principle of the air pump 37, the air inlet pipe, the reciprocating screw 30, the lifting screw block 41, and the crescent pin 42 are all technologies well known to those skilled in the art, they will not be described in detail here.
