Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment, in particular to an automatic feeding device for electroplating products. Background Art

[0002] Electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on certain metal surfaces using the principle of electrolysis. Electroplating can prevent metal oxidation (such as rust), improve wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (copper sulfate, etc.) and enhance aesthetics. The outer layer of many coins is also electroplated. Electroplating is widely used in the electronics industry to deposit conductive metals used in printed circuit boards, connectors and semiconductor interconnects. The electroplated products need to be loaded through a loading device. When the loading device in the existing technical solution loads the electroplated products, most of them are loaded manually or through a semi-automatic loading device. This loading method is inefficient and prone to errors, and will also lead to an increase in labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0013] 1. Due to the use of the material box, conveying mechanism, loading mechanism, unloading mechanism, through-beam sensor, support frame, conveyor belt, roller and the first driving device, when it is necessary to convey the electroplated products, the staff first places the electroplated products in the material box, and then places the material box with the electroplated products on the loading mechanism.

Since the fourth fixing part is threaded through the blanking plate and connected to the support frame, it is convenient for the staff to disassemble and replace the blanking plate.

[0016] 4. The use of reinforcing ribs can make the structure of the bent plate more reliable, thereby enabling the bent plate to provide better support for the second drive device.

[0017] 5. Due to the setting of the limit plate, when the material box is transported to the unloading plate, the limit plate can limit the material box, thereby preventing the material box from falling off the unloading plate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0025] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0026] An automatic feeding device for electroplating products, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a material box 1 for placing electroplating products, a conveying mechanism 2 for conveying the material box 1, a loading mechanism 3 for loading materials, and a unloading mechanism 4 for unloading materials. The material box 1 is arranged on the loading mechanism 3. The loading mechanism 3 is arranged at the input end of the conveying mechanism 2. The unloading mechanism 4 is arranged at the output end of the conveying mechanism 2. A circular opening is opened at the bottom end of the material box 1. A through-beam sensor 5 is arranged at the output end of the conveying mechanism 2;

[0027] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a support frame 21, a conveyor belt 22 for conveying the material box 1, a roller 23 for driving the conveyor belt 22 to rotate, and a first driving device 24 installed on the support frame 21. Two groups of rollers 23 symmetrically placed are rotatably connected to the support frame 21. The conveyor belt 22 is wound around the two groups of rollers 23. The output shaft of the first driving device 24 is drivingly connected to one group of rollers 23.

[0028] The material box 1 is placed on the feeding mechanism 3. The feeding mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the input end of the conveying mechanism 2. The unloading mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the conveying mechanism 2. A cross-shooting sensor 5 is provided at the output end of the conveying mechanism 2. When the material box 1 is conveyed to the unloading mechanism 4, the cross-shooting sensor 5 controls the unloading mechanism 4 to eject the electroplated products in the material box 1. Two groups of rollers 23 symmetrically placed are rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 21. The first driving device 24 is detachably fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 21 by bolts. The first driving device 24 is preferably a motor. The output shaft of the first driving device 24 passes through the support frame 21 and is transmission-connected to one of the groups of rollers 23. By driving one of the groups of rollers 23 to rotate through the output shaft of the first driving device 24, the conveyor belt 22 can be rotated around the two groups of rollers 23 at the same time, thereby realizing the operation of the conveying mechanism 2.

[0029] Due to the arrangement of the material box 1, the conveying mechanism 2, the loading mechanism 3, the unloading mechanism 4, the through-beam sensor 5, the support frame 21, the conveyor belt 22, the roller 23 and the first driving device 24, when it is necessary to convey the electroplated product, the staff first places the electroplated product in the material box 1, and then places the material box 1 with the electroplated product on the loading mechanism 3. At this time, the loading mechanism 3 works to push the material box 1 placed on the loading mechanism 3 to the conveying mechanism 2, and then the conveying mechanism 2 works to make the conveying mechanism 2 convey the material box 1 to the unloading mechanism 4. When the material box 1 is conveyed to the unloading mechanism 4, the through-beam sensor 5 set at the output end of the conveying mechanism 2 will detect the material box 1, and control the unloading mechanism 4 to eject the electroplated product in the material box 1 through the annular block starting from the bottom of the material box 1, and then the robot will sequentially clamp the ejected electroplated products and transport them to the production line. When all the electroplated products in the material box 1 are clamped by the robot, the staff will place the material box 1 on the loading mechanism 3 again and repeat the above operations to achieve fully automatic conveying of the electroplated products.

The bending plate 36 is arranged on the U-shaped plate 31. The second driving device 35 is arranged on the bending plate 36.

[0031] The first fixing member 32 is preferably a bolt. Both ends of the U-shaped plate 31 are fixedly connected to the pillars of the support frame 21 through the first fixing member 32. The pillars of the support frame 21 are provided with a plurality of groups of threaded holes arranged in a linear array and adapted to the first fixing member 32, so that it is convenient for the staff to adjust the height of the U-shaped plate 31, and then to adjust the height of the second drive device 35. The second fixing member 34 is preferably a bolt. Both ends of the bottom of the loading plate 33 are fixedly connected to the top input port of the support frame 21 through the second fixing member 34. The bending plate 36 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 31. The second drive device 35 is fixedly connected to the bending plate 36. The second drive device 35 is preferably a cylinder. The driving end of the second drive device 35 is facing the direction of the unloading mechanism 4.

[0032] Due to the arrangement of the U-shaped plate 31, the first fixing member 32, the loading plate 33, the second fixing member 34, the second driving device 35 and the bending plate 36, when the material box 1 containing the electroplated product is placed on the loading plate 33, the staff can push the material box 1 onto the conveyor belt 22 for transportation by extending the driving end of the second driving device 35. Since the first fixing member 32 passes through the U-shaped plate 31 and is threadedly connected to the support frame 21, it is convenient for the staff to disassemble and install the U-shaped plate 31. Since the second fixing member 34 passes through the loading plate 33 and is threadedly connected to the support frame 21, it is convenient for the staff to disassemble and install the loading plate 33.

[0037] The reinforcing rib 37 is fixedly connected to the bent plate 36 .
