Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electroplating, and more specifically to an electroplating process. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of other metals or alloys onto the surface of certain metals using the principle of electrolysis. It is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts, thereby preventing metal oxidation, improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and enhancing aesthetics. The outer layer of many coins is also electroplated.

[0003] In existing electroplating processes, such as the one described in application number 202211675253.X, a ring-shaped part can be driven to rotate continuously in the electroplating solution to prevent insufficient electroplating. However, this process is not suitable for continuous automated electroplating of suspended parts, thereby improving the efficiency of continuous electroplating. Summary of the Invention

[0036] An electroplating process comprising the following steps:

[0037] S1: Group and suspend multiple parts to be plated inside the electroplating device;

[0038] S2: Electroplating each group of parts to be plated is carried out in batches using an electroplating device;

[0043] S22: Electroplating is performed on any group of metals to be plated in batches by adjusting their positions using an electroplating device.

[0046] S32: Clean a batch of parts to be electroplated from both sides using an electroplating device.

[0047] The detailed steps of S4 are as follows:

[0048] S41: Adjust the position of a group of metal parts after electroplating;

[0049] S42: Dry the water stains on the surface of a group of metal parts after electroplating using an electroplating device.

[0050] All the parts to be plated are metal parts.

[0051] In S1, each group contains no more than three parts to be plated.

[0052] The electroplating time for each group of parts to be plated as described in S2 shall not be less than 3 minutes.

[0053] The electroplating device includes a work frame 101 and a triangular frame fixedly connected to the left side of the work frame 101. A rotating rod 102 is rotatably connected to the triangular part of the triangular frame. A sprocket I 103 is fixedly connected to the right side of each rotating rod 102. The three sprockets I 103 are connected by a transmission chain I 104. Three positioning rods 105 are evenly rotatably connected to the outside of the transmission chain I 104. A suspension bracket 106 is rotatably connected to the right side of each positioning rod 105.

[0054] This section is based on Figure 5 , 6 The working process described in sections 12 and 13 is as follows: In electroplating, to facilitate continuous automated electroplating of suspended parts and improve the efficiency of continuous electroplating, the parts are first suspended by copper wires on two suspension brackets 106 located on the upper side of the triangular frame. Then, any one of the rotating rods 102 rotates, and under the transmission of the sprocket I 103 and the transmission chain I 104, the three suspension brackets 106 follow the positioning rod 105 and move counterclockwise along the trajectory of the transmission chain I 104. The rear suspension bracket 106 then moves the suspended parts to the bottom of the work frame 101 for electroplating. After this set of parts has been electroplated, it moves forward and upward, allowing the next set of parts on the suspension bracket 106 to be electroplated. This process is repeated, facilitating continuous automated electroplating of suspended parts and improving the efficiency of continuous electroplating. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0055] The two rotating rods 102 located on the upper side of the triangular frame are on the same horizontal plane, and the other rotating rod 102 is located at the bottom of the triangular frame. A motor I 107 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating rod 102 located at the bottom. The motor I 107 is fixedly connected to the left side of the work frame 101.

[0056] This section is based on Figure 5 , 6The working process described in 12 and 13 is as follows: When any one of the rotating rods 102 is rotated, and the suspension frame 106 moves along the trajectory of the triangular frame following the transmission chain I 104, the drive motor I 107 causes the rotating rod 102 located on the lower side to rotate, thereby causing any one of the rotating rods 102 to rotate, and thus the suspension frame 106 moves along the trajectory of the triangular frame following the transmission chain I 104, providing power for the continuous automated electroplating of the suspended parts to be plated.

[0057] An electroplating box 108 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the work frame 101.

[0058] This section is based on Figure 5 , 6 The working process described in 12 and 13 is as follows: an electroplating tank 108 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the work frame 101 by bolts. The electroplating tank 108 stores the liquid required for electroplating. When any of the hanging frames 106 moves to the bottom, it is immersed in the electroplating tank 108 for electroplating. The electroplating work is further automated by reducing manual intervention and reducing the degree of manual labor.

[0059] This section is based on Figure 5-9 The working process described in 12 and 13 is as follows: A sliding frame 201 is slidably connected to the lower side of the work frame 101. A clamping seat 202 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of each sliding frame 201. The movable end of an electric push rod 203 is fixedly connected to the middle of the sliding frame 201. The fixed end of the electric push rod 203 is fixedly connected to the right side of the work frame 101. A drying frame 301 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the clamping seat 202 located on the front side. The two drying frames 301 are arranged in a mirror image. A connecting pipe 303 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each drying frame 301. A fan 302 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each connecting pipe 303. The bottom of each fan 302 is fixedly supported and connected to the outer side of the two drying frames 301 by bolts.

[0060] To further explain: After electroplating a metal part suspended in the middle of any of the hanging brackets 106 in the electroplating box 108, in order to facilitate the drying of surface water stains on the electroplated metal part when moving the electroplating box 108 to the front of the triangular frame, the electric push rod 203 is driven to move the sliding bracket 201 on the movable end of the electric push rod 203 to the left. The two drying frames 301 on the front clamping seat 202 correspond exactly to the front and rear surfaces of the electroplated metal part suspended by the hanging bracket 106 on the front of the triangular frame. This drives the two fans 302 to blow drying air out of the elongated holes on the adjacent side surfaces of the two drying frames 301 through the two connecting pipes 303, thereby performing a comprehensive drying operation from both sides of the electroplated metal, removing residual water stains on the surface of the electroplated metal, further preventing the need for manual wiping, and further preventing damage to the overall surface of the electroplated metal.

[0061] This section is based on Figure 5-13 The working process described is as follows: A fixed frame 401 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the clamping seat 202 located on the rear side. The two fixed frames 401 are mirror images of each other. The left side of both fixed frames 401 is open. Multiple support rods 402 are evenly rotatably connected to the middle of each fixed frame 401. A cleaning brush 406 is fixedly connected to the middle of each support rod 402. A sprocket II 403 is fixedly connected to the top of each support rod 402. The multiple sprockets II 403 located on the rear side are connected by a transmission chain II 404. The multiple sprockets II 403 located on the front side are connected by another transmission chain II 404. A motor II 405 is fixedly connected to the top of each support rod 402 located on the left side. The two motors II 405 are fixedly connected to the two fixed frames 401 respectively. Each cleaning brush 406 is a bristle brush.

[0062] To further explain: While drying the electroplated metal parts, to facilitate surface cleaning of the metal parts to be plated on the rear suspension bracket 106, during use, as the sliding bracket 201 moves to the left, the two fixed frames 401 on the rear side move synchronously to the front and rear sides of the rear suspension bracket 106, which is stationary at the rear. Before the two fixed frames 401 move, the two motors II 405 are driven respectively, thereby causing the corresponding support rods 402 to rotate. Under the transmission of the sprocket II 403 and the transmission chain II 404, each support rod 402 and the cleaning brush 406 in the middle of each support rod 402 rotate, thereby facilitating the final surface cleaning of the metal parts to be electroplated and improving the integrity of the subsequent electroplating work.
