It is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a layer of metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts, thereby preventing metal oxidation (such as rust), improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (copper sulfate, etc.) and enhancing aesthetics. The outer layer of many coins is also electroplated. The technology of depositing a metal coating with good adhesion but different performance from the base material on mechanical products using the principle of electrolytic cells. After electroplating, the parts to be tested are taken out of the plating solution, and the plating solution on the parts to be tested will slowly flow down from the parts.

A screw rod 14 is installed on the power shaft of the motor 13. A ball nut 15 is threadedly installed on the screw rod 14. The ball nut 15 is connected to the recovery box 3. The electroplated objects in the electroplating tank box 1 are placed on the draining platform 4 provided on the recovery box 3, and the electroplating liquid on the objects passes through The leakage hole 5 flows to the recovery bin 6, and after being filtered by the filter screens A7 and B8, the recovered electroplating liquid remains in the recovery bin 6, and then the motor 13 installed in the bracket 12 is started to rotate clockwise, so that the ball nut 15 threadedly installed on the screw rod 14 moves up, thereby driving the recovery box 3 to move up so that its bottom horizontal height is higher than the top horizontal height of the electroplating tank box 2, and then the water pipe 10 is rotated so that its drain outlet is located above the electroplating tank box 2, and then the valve on the water pipe 10 is opened to allow the filtered electroplating liquid to flow back into the electroplating tank box 2. After the purified electroplating liquid is discharged, the valve is closed, the water pipe 10 is rotated, and the motor 13 is started to rotate counterclockwise, so that the recovery box 3 moves down to above the support platform 11, so that all the recovered and filtered electroplating liquid can flow back to the electroplating tank, avoiding the problem of the electroplating liquid in the electroplating tank flowing back into the recovery mechanism, and avoiding affecting the effect and efficiency of the electroplating tank recovery mechanism.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A leakage hole 5 is provided on the bottom plate of the draining table 4, and the electroplating liquid on the objects placed on the draining table 4 flows to the recovery bin 6 through the leakage hole 5.
