Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrical manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a tin plating device and tin plating process for speed-regulating capacitor production. Background Technology
[0002] An adjustable capacitor is a type of capacitor whose capacitance can be adjusted and fixed within a small range. Also known as a semi-adjustable capacitor, it has non-polarity and is an important component of electrical appliances.
[0003] The capacitor leads are one of the important components inside the speed regulating capacitor. In order to increase their corrosion resistance and solderability, the capacitor leads need to be tin-plated. During tin plating, the capacitor leads need to come into contact with the electroplating solution. After electroplating, the excess electroplating solution on the capacitor leads needs to be cleaned.
[0004] Currently, most electroplating processes involve manually using tools to feed capacitor leads from the electroplating unit into the cleaning tank. However, the capacitor leads are small, and they are prone to falling during the tool handling and transport process. Once a capacitor lead falls to the ground, it becomes even more difficult to retrieve it with tools, and it also increases the time required for capacitor lead processing, causing many inconveniences. Therefore, this application proposes a tin plating device and tin plating process for the production of speed-regulating capacitors. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tin plating apparatus and tin plating process for the production of speed-regulating capacitors, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the capacitor leads are small and the capacitor leads are prone to falling off during the current clamping and conveying process using tools.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tin plating apparatus for producing speed-regulating capacitors, comprising an electroplating apparatus and a base for storing the electroplating apparatus, wherein the base is provided with a rotating mechanism, a rotating frame connected to the rotating mechanism, a lifting mechanism mounted on the rotating frame, and a lifting frame connected to the lifting mechanism; A tin-plated bracket is provided at the lifting frame, and a storage basket for storing capacitor leads is provided at the tin-plated bracket. A cleaning pool is provided on the base. The cleaning tank is equipped with an agitation mechanism, which is used to agitate the clean water in the cleaning tank. The agitated clean water can rinse the storage basket and capacitor leads immersed in it. A drying mechanism is provided at the lifting frame. The drying mechanism is used to blow air towards the storage basket, and the airflow is used to remove water stains from the capacitor leads.
[0007] Preferably, the tin-plated bracket is provided with several reinforcing ribs.
[0008] Preferably, the tin-plated bracket is provided with a number of positioning bolts, and the lifting frame is provided with positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning bolts.
[0009] Preferably, the agitation mechanism includes a drive gear, a drive motor connected to the drive gear, a driven gear connected to the drive gear via gear meshing, and an agitator mounted on the driven gear and inserted into the cleaning tank.
[0010] Preferably, an agitator is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tank, and a drive motor is mounted on the agitator.
[0011] Preferably, the stirring component includes a connecting ring and vertical plates, with multiple vertical plates arranged in a circumferential array around the center line of the connecting ring, and the center line of the connecting ring coinciding with the center line of the cleaning tank.
[0012] Preferably, the stirring element is provided with a rotating ring, which rotates in conjunction with the washing tank.
[0013] Preferably, the drying mechanism includes a power pump mounted on a lifting frame and a delivery pipe connected to the power pump for transporting air.
[0014] Preferably, the drying mechanism further includes an exhaust pipe connected to the delivery pipe for discharging air into the storage basket.
[0015] A tin plating process for speed-regulating capacitor production, wherein the tin plating apparatus for speed-regulating capacitor production includes the following steps: Step 1: Electroplating; The capacitor leads are fed into the electroplating device for tin plating. The tin-plated capacitor leads are then fed into the cleaning tank via a rotating mechanism and a lifting mechanism. Step 2: Remove the electroplating solution adhering to the capacitor leads; turn on the agitator to agitate the water in the cleaning tank, and rinse the storage basket and capacitor leads immersed in it with the agitated water to remove the electroplating solution adhering to the capacitor leads. Step 3: Remove the water adhering to the capacitor leads during cleaning; raise the storage basket and capacitor leads using the lifting mechanism to separate the capacitor leads from the water in the cleaning tank, turn on the drying mechanism, and use the power pump to pump air and deliver it to the storage basket. The airflow will carry away the water adhering to the capacitor leads.
[0016] Beneficial effects: This invention provides a tin plating apparatus and tin plating process for producing speed-regulating capacitors. A rotating mechanism drives a rotating frame to rotate, and a lifting mechanism located on the rotating frame drives the lifting frame to move up and down. When the rotating mechanism rotates to the top of the electroplating apparatus, it works in conjunction with the lifting mechanism to send the capacitor leads located on the lifting frame into the electroplating apparatus for electroplating. The rotating mechanism and the lifting mechanism work together to send the capacitor leads into the cleaning tank. In this way, the capacitor leads can be transferred between the electroplating apparatus and the cleaning tank. During the transfer process, the capacitor leads are always located inside the storage basket, making it less likely for them to fall out.
[0017] This invention provides a tin plating apparatus and tin plating process for producing speed-regulating capacitors. After the capacitor leads are tin-plated by the electroplating apparatus, the capacitor leads are transferred from the electroplating apparatus to a cleaning tank by a rotating mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The drive motor is turned on, which drives the drive gear to rotate. The drive gear and the driven gear are connected by gear meshing. The driven gear rotates under the drive gear, which drives the agitator to rotate. The agitator rotates around the center line of the cleaning tank, stirring the water in the cleaning tank. The stirred water washes the storage basket and capacitor leads immersed in the tank, thus removing the electroplating solution from the capacitor leads and completing the cleaning of the electroplating solution on the capacitor leads.
[0018] This invention provides a tin plating device and tin plating process for producing speed-regulating capacitors. After cleaning the capacitor leads in a cleaning tank, a lifting mechanism raises the height of the storage basket and the capacitor leads to separate the capacitor leads from the clean water. Then, the drying mechanism is activated, and the power pump inside starts, which can send outside air into the conveying pipe. The gas in the conveying pipe is sent into the exhaust pipe, and then sent to the storage basket through the exhaust pipe. The flow of gas accelerates the drying speed of the capacitor leads in the storage basket. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a tin plating device for producing speed-regulating capacitors, including an electroplating device 1 and a base 2 for storing the electroplating device 1. The base 2 is provided with a rotating mechanism 3, a rotating frame 4 connected to the rotating mechanism 3, a lifting mechanism 5 installed on the rotating frame 4, and a lifting frame 6 connected to the lifting mechanism 5.
[0023] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 3 adopts a rotary cylinder, and the lifting mechanism 5 can adopt a lifting cylinder. The rotating mechanism 3 can drive the rotating frame 4 to rotate, and the lifting mechanism 5 located on the rotating frame 4 can drive the lifting frame 6 to move up and down. When the rotating mechanism 3 rotates to the top of the electroplating device 1, it can cooperate with the lifting mechanism 5 to send the capacitor lead 10 located at the lifting frame 6 into the electroplating device 1 for electroplating. The rotating mechanism 3 and the lifting mechanism 5 cooperate to send the capacitor lead 10 into the cleaning tank 12. In this way, the function of transferring the capacitor lead 10 between the electroplating device 1 and the cleaning tank 12 can be realized.
[0024] Specifically, the lifting frame 6 is provided with a tin-plated bracket 7, the tin-plated bracket 7 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 8, the tin-plated bracket 7 is provided with a storage basket 9 for storing capacitor leads 10, and the base 2 is provided with a cleaning pool 12. It should be added that the tin-plated bracket 7 is provided with several positioning bolts 11, and the lifting frame 6 is provided with positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning bolts 11.
[0025] The capacitor lead 10 is one of the important components inside the speed regulating capacitor. In order to increase its corrosion resistance and solderability, it is necessary to tin-plate the capacitor lead 10. During tin plating, the capacitor lead 10 needs to come into contact with the electroplating solution. After electroplating, the excess electroplating solution on the capacitor lead 10 needs to be cleaned.
[0026] Specifically, in order to remove the electroplating solution from the capacitor leads 10, an agitation mechanism 13 is provided in the cleaning tank 12. The agitation mechanism 13 is used to agitate the clean water in the cleaning tank 12. The agitated clean water rinses the storage basket 9 and the capacitor leads 10 immersed in it, thereby removing the electroplating solution from the capacitor leads 10.
[0027] For details, please refer to Figures 4-7 The agitation mechanism 13 includes a drive gear 1301, a drive motor 1302 connected to the drive gear 1301, a driven gear 1303 connected to the drive gear 1301 via gear meshing, and an agitator 1304 mounted on the driven gear 1303 and inserted into the cleaning tank 12. An agitation bracket is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 12, and the drive motor 1302 is mounted on the agitation bracket. The agitator 1304 includes a connecting ring and vertical plates. Multiple vertical plates are provided, and the multiple vertical plates are arranged in a circumferential array around the center line of the connecting ring. The center line of the connecting ring coincides with the center line of the cleaning tank 12.
[0028] It should be noted that a rotating ring 1305 is provided at the stirring component 1304. The rotating ring 1305 is rotatably engaged with the washing tank 12, and the rotating ring 1305 and the washing tank 12 can rotate relative to each other.
[0029] In order to dry the capacitor leads 10 quickly after removing the electroplating solution, a drying mechanism 14 is provided at the lifting frame 6. The drying mechanism 14 is used to blow air towards the storage basket 9. The airflow can remove excess water stains on the capacitor leads 10 and speed up the drying speed of the capacitor leads 10.
[0030] After the capacitor lead 10 is tin-plated by the electroplating device 1, the capacitor lead 10 is transferred from the electroplating device 1 to the cleaning tank 12 by the rotating mechanism 3 and the lifting mechanism 5. The drive motor 1302 is turned on, which drives the drive gear 1301 to rotate. The drive gear 1301 and the driven gear 1303 are connected by gear meshing. The driven gear 1303 rotates under the drive of the drive gear 1301. When the driven gear 1303 rotates, it drives the agitator 1304 to rotate. The agitator 1304 rotates around the center line of the cleaning tank 12, stirring the water in the cleaning tank 12. The stirred water washes the storage basket 9 and the capacitor lead 10 immersed in it, thus removing the electroplating solution from the capacitor lead 10 and completing the cleaning of the electroplating solution on the capacitor lead 10.
[0031] The water in the cleaning tank 12 needs to be changed regularly, and the water after the change needs to be treated by sewage treatment equipment.
[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The drying mechanism 14 includes a power pump 1401 mounted on the lifting frame 6, a delivery pipe 1402 connected to the power pump 1401 and used for transporting air, and an exhaust pipe 1403 connected to the delivery pipe 1402 and used for discharging air to the storage basket 9.
[0033] After the capacitor lead 10 is cleaned in the cleaning tank 12, the height of the storage basket 9 and the capacitor lead 10 is raised by the lifting mechanism 5 to separate the capacitor lead 10 from the clean water. Then, the drying mechanism 14 is turned on, and the power pump 1401 inside it is started, which can send the outside air into the conveying pipe 1402. The gas in the conveying pipe 1402 is sent into the exhaust pipe 1403, and then sent to the position of the storage basket 9 through the exhaust pipe 1403. The flow of gas accelerates the drying speed of the capacitor lead 10 in the storage basket 9.
[0034] A tin plating process for manufacturing speed-regulating capacitors includes the following steps: Step 1: Electroplating; The capacitor lead 10 is fed into the electroplating device 1 for tin plating. The tin-plated capacitor lead 10 is then fed into the cleaning tank 12 through the rotating mechanism 3 and the lifting mechanism 5. Step 2: Remove the electroplating solution adhering to the capacitor lead 10; turn on the stirring mechanism 13 to stir the clean water in the cleaning tank 12, and the stirred clean water will rinse the storage basket 9 and capacitor lead 10 immersed in it, and remove the electroplating solution adhering to the capacitor lead 10. Step 3: Remove the water adhering to the capacitor lead 10 during cleaning; raise the storage basket 9 and the capacitor lead 10 by lifting mechanism 5 to separate the capacitor lead 10 from the water in the cleaning tank 12, turn on the drying mechanism 14, and pump air by power pump 1401 and deliver it to the storage basket 9. The airflow carries away the water adhering to the capacitor lead 10.
[0035] In summary, this invention provides a tin plating apparatus and tin plating process for producing speed-regulating capacitors. After the capacitor leads 10 are tin-plated by the electroplating apparatus 1, the capacitor leads 10 are transferred from the electroplating apparatus 1 to the cleaning tank 12 by the rotating mechanism 3 and the lifting mechanism 5. The drive motor 1302 is turned on, which drives the drive gear 1301 to rotate. The drive gear 1301 and the driven gear 1303 are connected by gear meshing. The driven gear 1303 rotates under the drive of the drive gear 1301. When the driven gear 1303 rotates, it drives the stirring element 1304 to rotate. The stirring element 1304 rotates around the center line of the cleaning tank 12, stirring the water flow in the cleaning tank 12. The stirred water washes the storage basket 9 and the capacitor leads 10 immersed in it, thus removing the electroplating solution from the capacitor leads 10 and completing the cleaning of the electroplating solution on the capacitor leads 10.
[0036] After the capacitor lead 10 is cleaned in the cleaning tank 12, the height of the storage basket 9 and the capacitor lead 10 is raised by the lifting mechanism 5 to separate the capacitor lead 10 from the clean water. Then, the drying mechanism 14 is turned on, and the power pump 1401 inside it is started, which can send the outside air into the conveying pipe 1402. The gas in the conveying pipe 1402 is sent into the exhaust pipe 1403, and then sent to the position of the storage basket 9 through the exhaust pipe 1403. The flow of gas accelerates the drying speed of the capacitor lead 10 in the storage basket 9.
