Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electroplating technology, specifically a continuous electroplating device for steel cord production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial component of automotive tire skeleton materials, the quality of its manufacturing process directly impacts tire lifespan and safety performance. Steel cord typically requires continuous electroplating to improve surface corrosion resistance and adhesion to rubber. However, existing continuous electroplating equipment still suffers from the following shortcomings during operation: First, the anodes of existing electroplating equipment are mostly fixed and clamped. After the anode is consumed, it needs to be replaced manually after the machine is stopped, which results in poor continuity of electroplating production and affects production efficiency. At the same time, the fixed state of the anode cannot be flexibly adjusted during the electroplating process, which can easily affect the local electroplating effect due to the retention of air bubbles. Secondly, the separation and recycling of anodes in existing equipment is complex, and waste anodes need to be removed manually, which is not only labor-intensive but also poses safety risks, making it unsuitable for large-scale continuous production.

[0003] In summary, existing technologies for electroplating steel cords generally suffer from problems such as inconvenient anode replacement, insufficient electroplating uniformity, and low anode recovery efficiency, resulting in unsatisfactory performance. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: (1) By setting up a distribution rotating disk, a distribution fixed disk, and an assembly arm mechanism and a connection fixing mechanism that cooperate with it, the present invention realizes the automatic adsorption and release of the anode under the combined action of the negative pressure pump and the air supply pump. This not only ensures the stable installation of the anode during the electroplating process, but also enables automatic replacement and directional recycling after the anode is consumed by the rotation of the distribution rotating disk in conjunction with the guide separation part. This avoids downtime and safety hazards caused by manual disassembly and assembly, and ensures the continuity of the electroplating process.

[0016] (2) By further driving the distribution rotating disk, the anode can be reciprocated at a small angle during the electroplating process. The deflection action promotes the timely removal of attached bubbles in the electroplating solution and avoids the formation of electroplating diaphragm. On the other hand, it changes the relative posture of the anode in the electroplating solution, making the current distribution of the steel cord more balanced during the electroplating process, thereby improving the uniformity and density of the coating.

[0017] (3) After the anode is consumed, it rotates to a horizontal position under the drive of the distribution rotating disk. The connecting and fixing mechanism releases the anode under the positive pressure of the air supply pump. The anode slides into the internal guiding cavity through the guide separation part and is collected into the external container, realizing the automatic recycling of the anode. This process corresponds to the negative pressure operation of anode adsorption and fixing, so that the anode remains stable and controllable in the three stages of installation, use and recycling.

[0018] (4) By periodically deflecting the rotating disk at small angles, the present invention not only realizes the dynamic adjustment of the anode in the electroplating solution, but also drives the switching guide mechanism to switch the airflow path during the process, so that the pneumatic treatment mechanism intermittently blows the steel cord. Under the same set of actions, multiple tasks such as anode swing, electroplating uniformity improvement and online treatment of steel cord are completed simultaneously, realizing the integration of functions and the overall electroplating process effect is better.

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a continuous electroplating apparatus for steel cord production and processing, including an electroplating tank 1 and a wire mechanism. The electroplating tank 1 has symmetrically arranged distribution rotating disks 4 inside. A multi-stage control mechanism 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the electroplating tank 1. Assembly arm mechanisms 5 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the distribution rotating disk 4. A connecting and fixing mechanism 6 is elastically sleeved inside the assembly arm mechanism 5. A distribution fixing disk 7 is sleeved on the outer side of the end face of the distribution rotating disk 4. The multi-stage control mechanism 8 controls the rotation of the distribution rotating disk 4. A guide separation part 9 is provided on one side of the top of the electroplating tank 1. The multi-stage control mechanism 8 fixes the anode to the end of the connecting and fixing mechanism 6 through the distribution fixing disk 7 and the distribution rotating disk 4. The multi-stage control mechanism 8 controls the rotation of the anode mounted around it through the distribution fixing disk 7 and the distribution rotating disk 4. When the anode rotates to a horizontal position, it automatically separates into the guide separation part 9 through the multi-stage control mechanism 8.

[0023] The wire guide mechanism includes an upper guide wheel 2 and a lower guide wheel 3. The upper guide wheels are symmetrically distributed above the electroplating tank 1, and the lower guide wheels 3 are symmetrically distributed inside the electroplating tank 1. Both sets of upper guide wheels 2 are provided with an external frame mechanism 10, and a cleaning mechanism is fixedly provided at the end of one of the external frame mechanisms 10.

[0024] The steel cord is guided and arranged by the upper guide wheel 2 and the lower guide wheel 3 distributed vertically, ensuring that the steel cord is fully electroplated in the electroplating box 1. The cleaning mechanism is used to pre-clean the introduced steel cord to ensure that the surface is clean before electroplating. The external frame mechanism 10 is sleeved on the outside of the steel cord's entry and exit ends to assist in the treatment of the steel cord inside.

[0025] The distribution rotating disk 4 includes a rotating disk body 41, an adapter cavity 42, and a connecting hole 43. The distribution fixed disk 7 includes a fixed disk body 71, a first hole 72, a second hole 73, a reversing cavity 74, and an adapter annular groove 75. The rotating disk body 41 is rotatably sleeved in the adapter annular groove 75. The adapter cavities 42 are distributed at equal intervals around the outer circumference of the rotating disk body 41. The connecting hole 43 is opened at the end of the rotating disk body 41 and is connected to the adapter cavity 42. The first hole 72, the second hole 73, and the reversing cavity 74 are all opened on the fixed disk body 71. The first hole 72 is located in the adapter annular groove 75 and is located on the rotation path of the connecting hole 43.

[0026] The distribution rotating disk 4 cooperates with the distribution fixed disk 7 to achieve stable rotation of the distribution rotating disk 4. The stable rotation is maintained by the sleeve of the adapter ring groove 75 and the rotating disk body 41. The distribution rotating disk 4 is used to support and connect the assembly arm mechanism 5 installed around the outside. When the assembly arm mechanism 5 rotates to the top, its corresponding upper adapter cavity 42 and connecting hole 43 are connected to the first hole 72. After the connection is achieved, the internal suction of the connecting fixed mechanism 6 is achieved. After the distribution rotating disk 4 deflects, it seals the connecting hole 43, maintains the negative pressure state in the connecting fixed mechanism 6, and maintains the stable adsorption and fixation of the anode by the connecting fixed mechanism 6.

[0027] The multi-level control mechanism 8 includes a support platform 81, a control motor 82, a negative pressure pump 83, and an air supply pump 84. One end of the support platform 81 is fixed on the electroplating box 1, and the other end of the support platform 81 is fixedly connected to the distribution fixing plate 7. The control motor 82 is fixed on the top of the support platform 81 through a motor frame. The negative pressure pump 83 and the air supply pump 84 are both fixed on the motor frame. The suction end of the negative pressure pump 83 is connected to the first hole 72, and the air outlet end of the air supply pump 84 is connected to the second hole 73.

[0028] The multi-level control mechanism 8 realizes the rotation control of the distribution rotating disk 4, realizes the adsorption and fixation of the anode after the internal air of the connecting and fixing mechanism 6 is drawn, and realizes the ventilation of the second hole 73 to provide pressurized air. By introducing the pressurized air into the assembly arm mechanism 5, the connecting and fixing mechanism 6 is pushed, thereby driving the anode after electroplating is consumed to move into the guide separation part 9 after it is deflected to a horizontal state to complete the separation.

[0029] The assembly arm mechanism 5 includes a side arm 51, a sliding cavity 52, and a bypass hole 53. The side arm 51 is fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the rotating disk 41 and communicates with the adapter cavity 42. The sliding cavity 52 is located at the outer end of the side arm 51, and the bypass hole 53 is located on the front side of the side arm 51. The connecting and fixing mechanism 6 includes a movable sleeve 61, an assembly head 62, an adapter groove 63, a spring 64, an inner hole 65, and a side hole 66. The movable sleeve 61 is movably sleeved inside the side arm 51, and one end of the movable sleeve 61 is sleeved in the adapter cavity 42. The other end of the movable sleeve rod 61 is fixedly connected to the assembly head 62. The adapter groove 63 is opened at the end of the assembly head 62. The assembly head 62 is slidably sleeved in the sliding cavity 52. ​​One end of the spring 64 is fixed in the sliding cavity 52, and the other end of the spring 64 is fixedly connected to the assembly head 62. The inner hole 65 is opened inside the movable sleeve rod 61 and is a blind hole. The inner hole 65 communicates with the adapter groove 63. The side hole 66 is opened on the outer surface of the movable sleeve rod 61 and communicates with the inner hole 65. The first hole 72 and the bypass hole 53 are both located on the moving path of the side hole 66.

[0030] Assembly arm mechanism 5 supports the internal elastic sleeve connection and fixing mechanism 6. The connection and fixing mechanism 6 uses internal negative pressure to adsorb and fix the anode sleeved in the assembly head 62. When the side hole 66 is in the appropriate cavity 42, it is connected to the connecting hole 43, thereby extracting the internal gas of the movable sleeve 61 through the connecting hole 43 and the side hole 66, and thus extracting the internal gas of the assembly head 62, creating negative pressure. The sliding cavity 52 adapts to the sliding sleeve of the assembly head 62. The bypass hole 53 is matched with the side hole 66. Specifically, along the side arm 51 of the connection and fixing mechanism 6... When the internal movement occurs, the side hole 66 can connect with the bypass hole 53 after the movement, thereby replenishing the ambient air into the connecting and fixing mechanism 6, restoring the internal air pressure of the connecting and fixing mechanism 6, releasing the adsorption and fixing of the anode by the assembly head 62, and the spring 64 can elastically reset after the connecting and fixing mechanism 6 moves and extends. After the connecting and fixing mechanism 6 moves and extends, the consumed anode is inserted into the guide separation part 9, and after insertion, the side hole 66 moves and connects with the bypass hole 53 to release the anode, thereby achieving directional and fixed-distance anode release.

[0031] The guide separation part 9 includes a guide frame 91 and an internal guide cavity 92. The guide frame 91 is fixed to the top of the electroplating box 1 by a support rod. The internal guide cavity 92 is opened inside the guide frame 91, and the height of the internal guide cavity 92 is consistent with the height of the horizontal assembly arm mechanism 5.

[0032] The guide separation section 9 is used to guide the anode that has been introduced into the interior and released outwards, so as to achieve directional collection. It works with the external collection container to directionally collect the consumed anode. The internal guide cavity 92 is provided with an inclined surface to improve the anode sliding effect.

[0033] The assembly arm mechanism 5 and the connecting and fixing mechanism 6 are equipped with a reversing conduction mechanism. The air supply pump 84 is connected to the reversing conduction mechanism. The outer side of the outer frame mechanism 10 is connected to a pneumatic processing mechanism 16. The pneumatic processing mechanism 16 is connected to the reversing conduction mechanism through the reversing cavity 74. The outer frame mechanism 10 includes a support frame 101 and an elastic pad 102. The support frame 101 is fixed on the upper guide wheel 2. The top of the support frame 101 is provided with a notch. The elastic pads 102 are symmetrically installed in the top notch of the support frame 101. A slit is provided between the two elastic pads 102.

[0034] The reversing guide mechanism has air passages in two directions. On one hand, pressurized air can be input into the assembly arm mechanism 5 through the air supply pump 84 and the reversing guide mechanism to realize the push of the connecting and fixing mechanism 6. On the other hand, pressurized air can be input into the pneumatic processing mechanism 16 through the air supply pump 84 and the reversing guide mechanism to realize the gas supply to the external frame mechanism 10, thereby cleaning and drying the steel cord inside under gas purging. It can clean the steel cord before electroplating and purge and dry the steel cord after electroplating.

[0035] The reversing and guiding mechanism includes a reversing and guiding air mechanism 13, an auxiliary groove 14, and a guiding hole 15. The reversing and guiding air mechanism 13 includes a guiding plate 131, a first curved pipe 132, and a second curved pipe 133. The auxiliary groove 14 is opened on the outer peripheral surface of the movable sleeve 61, and the guiding hole 15 is opened on the outer side surface of the side arm 51, communicating with the auxiliary groove 14. The first curved pipe 132 and the second curved pipe 133 are both connected to the guiding plate 131, and the first curved pipe 132 communicates with the guiding hole 15. The reversing cavity... 74 is located on the moving path of the second curved pipe 133, and the second hole 73 is located on the moving path of the guide plate 131. The pneumatic processing mechanism 16 includes a ventilation frame 161, a connecting pipe 162 and a jet hole 163. The jet hole 163 is opened on the front of the support frame 101. The ventilation frame 161 is fixed on the front of the support frame 101 and communicates with the jet hole 163. One end of the connecting pipe 162 is connected to the ventilation frame 161, and the other end of the connecting pipe 162 is fixed on the distribution fixing plate 7 and communicates with the reversing cavity 74.

[0036] When the assembly arm mechanism 5 is deflected to a horizontal position and close to the guide separation section 9, the first curved pipe 132 in the reversing air guide mechanism 13 connects to the second hole 73 through the corresponding guide hole on the guide plate 131. This allows the air pump 84 to input pressurized air through the second hole 73, the guide plate 131, and the first curved pipe 132 into the guide hole 15, thereby allowing the pressurized air to enter the auxiliary groove 14. This increases the internal air pressure of the side arm 51, pushing the assembly head 62 outward along the sliding cavity 52, thus extending the connecting and fixing mechanism 6 and completing the subsequent anode directional separation. Meanwhile, when the control motor 82 drives the distribution rotating disk 4 to deflect at a small angle, the assembly arm mechanism on the distribution rotating disk 4, horizontally facing the guide separation section 9... The assembly arm mechanism 5 is synchronously offset at a small angle, and the reversing air guide mechanism 13 on the assembly arm mechanism 5 is also synchronously offset, so that the other corresponding guide hole on the guide plate 131 that is connected to the second curved pipe 133 is connected to the second hole 73, and the other end of the second curved pipe 133 after synchronous deflection is simultaneously connected to the reversing cavity 74, so that the air supply pump 84 inputs pressurized air through the second hole 73, the guide plate 131, the second curved pipe 133 and the reversing cavity 74 into the connecting pipe 162 of the pneumatic processing mechanism 16, and inputs pressurized air into the pneumatic processing mechanism 16. The pressurized air is blown into the support frame 101 of the outer sleeve mechanism 10 through the jet hole 163 in the pneumatic processing mechanism 16 to achieve cleaning and drying treatment.

[0037] Furthermore, by controlling the distribution rotating disk 4 to reciprocate at the aforementioned small angle by controlling the motor 82, intermittent airflow can be achieved inside the pneumatic processing mechanism 16, enabling reciprocating spraying. Under the reciprocating oscillation, the vertical anode clamped and deflected in the electroplating tank 1 reciprocates, which on the one hand dynamically changes the anode posture (two states of vertical or inclined insertion in the electroplating tank), improving the electroplating uniformity. On the other hand, the reciprocating oscillation causes the bubbles on the anode to disperse quickly, preventing the bubbles from forming an electroplating diaphragm area, increasing the effective reaction area, and further improving the subsequent electroplating effect.

[0038] The cleaning mechanism includes a mounting frame 11 and a cleaning brush 12. The mounting frame 11 is fixed to the end of an external frame mechanism 10, and the cleaning brush 12 is fixedly sleeved in the inner wall of the mounting frame 11.

[0039] The outer wall of the inner steel cord is cleaned by rubbing with a cleaning brush 12.

[0040] Working principle and usage process of this invention: Anode Adsorption and Installation The control motor 82 in the multi-stage control mechanism 8 starts and drives the distribution rotating disk 4 to rotate until the assembly arm mechanism 5 of an anode to be installed rotates to the vertically upward position at the top of the equipment. At this precise position, the connecting hole 43 at the end of the distribution rotating disk 4 is aligned and connected with the first hole 72 on the fixed distribution fixed disk 7. At this time, the negative pressure pump 83 in the multi-stage control mechanism 8 starts and begins to pump air through the pipeline connected to the first hole 72. The vacuum pressure passes through the first hole 72 and the connecting hole 43 in sequence and enters the inner hole 65 inside the movable sleeve rod 61. Finally, it acts on the adapter groove 63 at the end of the assembly head 62, so that a stable negative pressure is formed inside it. The new anode is pushed into the adapter groove 63, and the anode is immediately firmly attracted and fixed by the negative pressure, completing the single loading. Continuous electroplating and dynamic optimization After the anodes are installed, the control motor 82 drives the distribution rotating disk 4 to rotate again, rotating the assembly arm mechanism 5, which carries the new anodes, into the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 1, in a vertically downward posture. At the same time, the steel cord, pulled by the upper guide wheel 2 and the lower guide wheel 3 of the wire guide mechanism, continuously travels through the electroplating tank 1 and is immersed in the electroplating solution for electroplating. During the electroplating process, in order to improve the plating quality, the control motor 82 controls the distribution rotating disk 4 to reciprocate at a low speed within a preset small angle range. This action causes all the anodes immersed in the solution to reciprocate synchronously in the electroplating solution. On the one hand, through physical disturbance, hydrogen bubbles attached to the surface of the anodes and steel cords are forcibly peeled off, avoiding the formation of electroplating shielding areas; on the other hand, the constantly changing relative positions of the anodes also make the electric field distribution more uniform, thereby significantly improving the plating quality. Joint purging and online treatment During the dynamic optimization process of the distribution rotating disk 4 reciprocating at a small angle, the pneumatic linkage is triggered synchronously. Specifically, the reversing air guide mechanism 13 installed on the assembly arm mechanism 5 will move synchronously with the disk body as it deflects. When the distribution rotating disk 4 deflects to a specific angle, the second curved pipe 133 on the reversing air guide mechanism 13 will simultaneously align and connect with the second hole 73 and the reversing cavity 74 on the distribution fixed disk 7. At this time, the compressed air generated by the air supply pump 84 in the multi-stage control mechanism 8 will enter the connecting pipe 162 connected to the reversing cavity 74 along the temporary air path constructed by "hole 73, guide plate 131, curved pipe 133, and reversing cavity 74". The compressed air is finally delivered to the ventilation frame 161 of the pneumatic treatment mechanism 16 and sprayed out from the jet hole 163 to purge the steel cord that is about to leave the electroplating box to remove residual liquid and perform preliminary drying. Combined with the reciprocating swing of the distribution rotating disk 4, the intermittent, pulsed purging treatment of the steel cord is completed. Automatic anode separation and recovery When an anode in the electroplating solution is exhausted and needs to be replaced, the control motor 82 drives the distribution rotating disk 4 to rotate the assembly arm mechanism 5 containing the consumed anode to a horizontal position, so that its end is precisely aligned with the guide separation part 9 on one side of the electroplating tank. At this specific horizontal position, the air diversion mechanism 13 on the assembly arm mechanism 5 will move to another working state, specifically, its first curved pipe 132 is aligned and connected with the second hole 73 on the distribution fixing disk 7. The air supply pump 84 is started, and compressed air flows along the path of "second hole 73, guide plate 131, first curved pipe 132, guide hole 15". Following the path of the auxiliary groove 14", the anode enters the internal cavity of the side arm 51, causing the internal air pressure to rise. This pushes the movable sleeve rod 61 and the assembly head 62 to slide outward against the elastic force of the spring 64. At the end of the extension process, the side hole 66 on the movable sleeve rod 61 moves to a position aligned with the bypass hole 53 on the side arm 51. At this time, the negative pressure chamber in the assembly head 62 is instantly connected to the outside atmosphere through the bypass hole 53. The negative pressure disappears, and the adsorption force on the anode also disappears. The pushed-out anode detaches from the assembly head under the action of gravity and slides into the internal guide cavity 92 of the guide separation part 9, where it is collected in a directional manner. After the anode is released, the elastic force of the spring 64 causes the connecting fixing mechanism 6 to automatically reset, waiting for the next cycle. The entire process completes the online, automatic, and rapid replacement of waste anodes.
