Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electroplating devices for hardware processing, in particular to an electroplating device for hardware processing. Background Art

[0002] Hardware accessories refer to machine parts or components made of hardware, as well as some small hardware products; it can be used alone or as an auxiliary tool; such as hardware tools, hardware parts, daily hardware, construction hardware and security products; most of the small hardware products are not final consumer goods; but as supporting products, semi-finished products and tools used in the production process of industrial manufacturing, etc.; only a small part of daily hardware products (accessories) are tool-type consumer goods that are necessary for people's lives. Electroplating is required during the production of hardware; electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on the metal surface using the principle of electrolysis. 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, improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance and enhancing beauty. The purpose of electroplating is to plate a metal coating on the substrate to change the surface properties or size of the substrate. Electroplating can enhance the corrosion resistance of the metal, increase hardness, prevent wear, improve conductivity, smoothness, heat resistance and surface beauty.

[0003] In traditional electroplating processes, the object to be plated often remains stationary or moves only in one direction, which may cause uneven distribution of the electroplated layer and weakened adhesion. As a result, the flatness of the electroplated layer is adversely affected, resulting in a rough surface, which not only damages the visual beauty of the product, but also affects the user's tactile experience. In addition, the uneven coating will reduce its corrosion resistance, making the product more vulnerable to corrosion in harsh environments. The weakening of adhesion means that the bonding force between the coating and the substrate is reduced, which may cause the coating to easily peel off or fall off during use. Worse, the coating may appear loose and discontinuous, and such a coating cannot provide the substrate with the desired protection effect.

[0004] In view of this, we propose an electroplating device for hardware processing. Utility Model Content

[0023] Hardware accessories refer to machine parts or components made of hardware, as well as some small hardware products; it can be used alone or as an auxiliary tool; such as hardware tools, hardware parts, daily hardware, construction hardware and security products; most of the small hardware products are not final consumer goods; but as supporting products, semi-finished products and tools used in the production process of industrial manufacturing, etc.; only a small part of daily hardware products (accessories) are tool-type consumer goods that are necessary for people's lives. Electroplating is required during the production of hardware; electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on the metal surface using the principle of electrolysis. 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, improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance and enhancing beauty. The purpose of electroplating is to plate a metal coating on the substrate to change the surface properties or size of the substrate. Electroplating can enhance the corrosion resistance of the metal, increase hardness, prevent wear, improve conductivity, smoothness, heat resistance and surface beauty.

[0024] In traditional electroplating processes, the object to be plated often remains stationary or moves only in one direction, which may cause uneven distribution of the electroplated layer and weakened adhesion. As a result, the flatness of the electroplated layer is adversely affected, resulting in a rough surface, which not only damages the visual beauty of the product, but also affects the user's tactile experience. In addition, the uneven coating will reduce its corrosion resistance, making the product more vulnerable to corrosion in harsh environments. The weakening of adhesion means that the bonding force between the coating and the substrate is reduced, which may cause the coating to easily peel off or fall off during use. Worse, the coating may appear loose and discontinuous, and such a coating cannot provide the substrate with the desired protection effect.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the present embodiment provides an electroplating device for hardware processing, including a body 101 and a plating liquid box 102, wherein the plating liquid box 102 is used to store the plating liquid, and the lower side of the plating liquid box 102 is slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the body 101, and the side wall of the body 101 is provided with a moving component 110, and the moving component 110 is used to clamp the object to be plated and enter the inside of the plating liquid box 102, and the lower side of the plating liquid box 102 is provided with a shaking component 120, and the shaking component 120 is used to shake the plating liquid box 102 while the moving component 110 moves the object to be plated into the inside of the plating liquid box 102, and by shaking the plating liquid, the metal ions can be more evenly distributed in the solution, so that the metal layer deposited on the surface of the object is more uniform, especially in the continuous production process, the consistency of the plating liquid performance can be maintained;

[0026] The moving assembly 110 includes a motor 111, which is used to drive a threaded rod 112 to rotate. The motor 111 is installed on the upper side of the body 101. The upper wall of the body 101 is fixedly connected to a first slide rail 115. The first slide rail 115 is used to ensure the normal sliding of a threaded block 113. The inner wall of the first slide rail 115 is slidably connected to a threaded block 113. The threaded block 113 is used to drive an electric telescopic clamp 114 to move. The inner wall of the threaded block 113 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 112. The threaded rod 112 is used to drive the threaded block 113 to move. One end of the threaded rod 112 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 111. The lower end of the threaded block 113 is fixedly connected to an electric telescopic clamp 114. The electric telescopic clamp 114 is used to clamp an object to be plated.

[0027] The shaking assembly 120 includes a transmission rod 122, which is used to drive the first bevel gear 123 to rotate. The outer wall of the transmission rod 122 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the body 101. The end of the transmission rod 122 close to the motor 111 and the end of the threaded rod 112 close to the motor 111 are connected to a belt 121 for rotating together. The belt 121 is driven by the threaded rod 112 to drive the transmission rod 122 to rotate. The end of the transmission rod 122 away from the belt 121 is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 123. The first bevel gear 123 is used to drive the second bevel gear 124 to rotate. The lower side of the plating liquid box 102 is meshedly connected with a reciprocating screw 125. The reciprocating screw 125 is used to drive the plating liquid box 102 to slide. One end of the reciprocating screw 125 away from the plating liquid box 102 passes through the side wall of the body 101 and is fixedly connected with the second bevel gear 124. The second bevel gear 124 is used to drive the reciprocating screw 125 to rotate. The outer wall of the second bevel gear 124 and the outer wall of the first bevel gear 123 are meshedly connected with each other.

[0028] The improvement of this embodiment is that:

[0029] During the electroplating process, the motor 111 drives the electric telescopic clamp 114 to clamp the object to be plated into the electroplating liquid box 102 for electroplating. At the same time, the motor 111 also drives the reciprocating screw 125 to rotate, so that the electroplating liquid box 102 shakes back and forth. This shaking can promote the flow of the electroplating solution in the box and help the metal ions to be more evenly distributed in the solution. Therefore, the metal layer deposited on the surface of the object will also be more uniform. Shaking not only enhances the fluidity of the solution, but also improves the efficiency of material transfer, allowing metal ions to migrate to the cathode surface faster, thereby accelerating the electroplating process. This design not only improves product quality, but also significantly improves work efficiency.

[0030] Considering that during the electroplating process, due to the generation of bubbles in the plating solution, these bubbles sometimes adhere to the surface of the workpiece. In this case, small holes, so-called "pinholes", may be formed in the coating. These pinholes will reduce the integrity and protective performance of the coating, making the coating more susceptible to corrosion and wear. Therefore, the side wall of the plating liquid box 102 is provided with a stirring assembly 130, and the stirring assembly 130 is used to stir the inside of the plating liquid box 102 while the shaking assembly 120 drives the plating liquid box 102 to shake. The stirring assembly 130 includes a vertical rod 131, and the vertical rod 131 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the body 101. The vertical rod 131 is used to install a rack 132 and is located on the outside of the plating liquid box 102. The upper end of the vertical rod 131 is fixedly connected to the rack 132. The side wall of the plating liquid box 102 is rotatably connected to a stirring rod 134, and the stirring rod 134 is used to drive the fan blades 135 to rotate. A plurality of fan blades 135 are evenly distributed around the outer wall of the moving rod 134, and the fan blades 135 are used to stir the plating liquid. The end of the stirring rod 134 away from the plating liquid box 102 passes through the side wall of the plating liquid box 102 and is fixedly connected with a column gear 133. The column gear 133 is used to drive the stirring rod 134 to rotate. The teeth of the column gear 133 are meshed with the teeth of the rack 132. The rack 132 is used to drive the column gear 133 to rotate, so that the adhesion of bubbles on the surface of the workpiece can be reduced by stirring, thereby improving the uniformity and density of the coating and reducing the generation of pinholes and other defects.

[0031] When the electroplating device for metal processing of the utility model is used, the staff first starts the motor 111, and drives the threaded rod 112 to rotate by rotating the output end of the motor 111. Subsequently, the rotation of the threaded rod 112 causes the threaded block 113 to move along its axial direction, thereby pushing the electric telescopic clamp 114 to move. In this process, the electric telescopic clamp 114 clamps the object and enters the interior of the electroplating liquid box 102.

[0032] At the same time, the rotation of the threaded rod 112 also drives the belt 121 to rotate, and the rotation of the belt 121 further drives the transmission rod 122 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 122 causes the first bevel gear 123 to rotate, and then the first bevel gear 123 drives the second bevel gear 124 to rotate. The rotation of the second bevel gear 124 causes the reciprocating screw 125 to start rotating, and the rotation of the reciprocating screw 125 causes the plating liquid box 102 to slide on the bottom wall inside the body 101.

[0033] During the sliding process of the plating liquid box 102, the column gear 133 is driven to move. The column gear 133 rotates through the meshing connection with the rack 132, thereby driving the stirring rod 134 to rotate. Finally, the fan blade 135 on the stirring rod 134 stirs the plating liquid.

[0034] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
