[0002] Electroplating is a process that uses the principle of electrolysis to deposit a layer of metal film on the surface of metal or other conductive materials.

[0003] The electroplating process involves the knowledge of electrochemistry. Through electrolysis, a thin layer of metal or alloy is formed on the surface of the target object. This thin layer can provide a variety of functional improvements, such as improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity and corrosion resistance, and is also used to enhance aesthetics.

[0004] Electroplating technology is widely used in industry and daily life, such as in coin manufacturing, automotive parts, electronic components, decorative items, etc. According to different needs, suitable plating materials such as zinc plating, copper plating, nickel plating, chrome plating, etc. can be selected to achieve the desired effect.

[0005] After the electroplating line has been running for a long time, deposits are likely to form in the electroplating tank, causing impurities to be mixed into the electroplating solution during the electroplating process, affecting the quality of the electroplating and increasing the energy consumption of the electroplating.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0029] A plating tank cleaning device includes a plating line, a driving device and a cleaning device. The plating line is provided with a plurality of plating tanks. The driving device is arranged above the plating line. The driving device can move horizontally and vertically above the plating line. The cleaning device can be loaded and unloaded by the driving device. During the cleaning operation, the driving device installs the cleaning device into the plating tank. During the non-cleaning operation, the driving device moves the cleaning device out of the plating line. The cleaning device includes two mounting plates, a cleaning roller arranged between the two mounting plates, and a roller driving device. A first rotating shaft is arranged on both sides of the cleaning roller. The first rotating shaft is respectively connected to the two mounting plates. A first transmission gear is also arranged on the surface of both sides of the cleaning roller. The roller driving device is arranged above the cleaning roller and drives the first transmission gear to rotate. The roller driving device includes a second rotating shaft, a second transmission gear and a third transmission gear. The second rotating shaft is respectively connected to the second transmission gear and the third transmission gear. The third transmission gear is arranged on the outside of the mounting plate, and the second transmission gear is arranged on the inside of the transmission plate. The second transmission gear is meshed with the first transmission gear. A driving motor and a driving gear are provided at the edge of the electroplating tank. The driving motor drives the driving gear to rotate, and the driving gear meshes with the third transmission gear. Two brackets are also provided on the edges of both sides of the electroplating tank, and two support rods are respectively provided on the outer sides of the two mounting plates. The support rods are placed on the brackets to support and position the cleaning device. A waste liquid tank is also provided at the lower end of the electroplating tank. A through hole is provided between the electroplating tank and the waste liquid tank, and a solenoid valve is provided at the through hole. A spray plate is also provided between the two mounting plates. A plurality of spray holes are provided at the bottom of the spray plate. A cleaning liquid interface is provided on the mounting plate, and one end of the cleaning liquid interface is connected to the spray plate. A cleaning brush is provided on the surface of the cleaning roller. A splash guard is also provided between the two mounting plates. The splash guard is made of transparent material and half-wraps the cleaning roller. The bottom of the electroplating tank is in an arc shape.

[0030] The actual usage method is as follows: In the existing partially automated roller plating lines, there will also be a crane and a roller for loading the roller plating barrel, and the cleaning device can be adapted to the crane device in the original roller plating line.

[0031] Before cleaning, the driving device drives to the place where the cleaning device is placed, loads and lifts the cleaning device, moves it to the electroplating tank to be cleaned, and then removes the cleaning device. The support rods on both sides of the cleaning device are against the bracket, and the bracket supports and positions the cleaning device. A driving motor is provided on one side of the electroplating tank. The driving motor drives the active gear to rotate, and the active gear drives the third transmission gear to rotate. The third transmission gear is linked with the second transmission gear, and the second transmission drives the first transmission gear to rotate, and finally drives the cleaning roller.

[0032] The cleaning brush on the surface of the cleaning roller contacts the wall of the electroplating tank and cleans it. When the cleaning roller rotates, the spray plate above it continuously sprays cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid is connected from the outside through the cleaning liquid interface and connected to the spray plate. When the cleaning liquid in the electroplating tank is excessive, the solenoid valve at the bottom of the electroplating tank opens to discharge the waste liquid into the waste liquid tank.

[0033] The splash guard half-wraps the cleaning roller, so that even if the cleaning roller rotates at high speed, the cleaning liquid will not splash. After one electroplating tank is cleaned, the cleaning device is moved to the next electroplating tank by the driving device, and the operation is repeated to achieve complete cleaning of the electroplating line.

[0034] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
