Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electroplating conductive seats, in particular to an electroplating conductive seat. Background Art

[0002] Electroplating is a process that uses the principle of electrolysis to plate a thin layer of other metal or alloy material on the surface of the electroplating material. At present, electroplating conductive seats are generally used to electroplating thin plates. In the past, conventional bearings used in electroplating conductive seats are conductive. During electroplating, the bearings are easily heated by the current, which causes thermal expansion and contraction of the bearings, making the rotation of the conductive wheel not smooth enough. During the continuous transportation of the electroplating material, the electroplating material is easy to scratch the surface of the conductive wheel, thereby damaging the electroplating material. In the past, the conductive method is generally to connect a mercury head to the top of the conductive rod for power transmission. The mercury head only contacts the top of the conductive rod, with a small conductive area and low efficiency. In addition, the conductive seat needs to be placed in a sealed box on all sides because it needs to be sprayed with water for cooling. The mercury head easily blocks the line of sight of the contact between the electroplating material and the conductive wheel, making it inconvenient for real-time observation.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an electroplating conductive seat that is not easily affected by electric current heating, prevents scratches on electroplating materials, has good conductivity, and is convenient for real-time viewing of electroplating processing conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides an electroplated conductive seat to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A conductive seat for electroplating includes a base, a rotating seat is provided on the base, a conductive liquid leak-proof cup is provided on the top of the rotating seat, a conductive liquid is provided in the conductive liquid leak-proof cup, two ceramic bearings are provided in the conductive liquid leak-proof cup, and a conductive wheel is placed on the outer peripheral side of the conductive liquid leak-proof cup, a conductive rod is provided in the conductive wheel, and the lower end of the conductive rod passes through two ceramic bearing inner rings in sequence to contact the conductive liquid. The conductive liquid immerses the outer peripheral side of the lower end of the conductive rod to increase the conductive area and the conductive efficiency of the conductive rod. The ceramic bearing has the properties of being non-conductive, self-lubricating, and resistant to high temperatures. It is not easy to expand and contract due to heating by electric current during electroplating work, which improves the smoothness of the rotation of the conductive wheel and prevents scratches and damage to the electroplating material. At the same time, the non-conductive nature of the ceramic bearing improves the conductive effect of the electroplating liquid on the conductive rod.

[0007] Preferably, auxiliary guide wheels are symmetrically arranged on the base, and the two auxiliary guide wheels and the conductive wheel are distributed in a triangular shape, and an electroplating structure for the electroplating material to pass through the electroplating process is formed between the two auxiliary guide wheels and the conductive wheel.

[0008] Preferably, two auxiliary bearings are arranged in the auxiliary guide wheel, and the base is provided with support rods corresponding to the two auxiliary guide wheels, and the support rods are connected and installed with the two auxiliary bearings in the corresponding auxiliary guide wheels. When the conductive wheel rotates to process the electroplating material, the auxiliary guide wheel can passively rotate to help convey the electroplating material, and at the same time, the auxiliary guide wheel and the conductive wheel play a role in guiding and limiting the electroplating material.

[0009] Preferably, the base is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, on which the main base and two auxiliary bases are detachably mounted, the rotating base is mounted on the top of the main base, and the bottom of the support rod is mounted one-to-one with the two auxiliary bases. The mounting holes are elliptical holes, and the main base and the auxiliary base are both mounted on the base by titanium bolts. By adjusting the positions of the main base and the auxiliary base on the mounting holes, the spacing between the auxiliary guide wheel and the conductive wheel can be adjusted to adapt to processing of different electroplating materials.

[0010] Preferably, a glass support wheel is provided on one side of the base, and the glass support wheel is used to support the bottom of the electroplating material to prevent the bottom of the electroplating material from directly contacting and rubbing with the base.

[0011] Preferably, the base and the adjustment base are titanium bases, and the auxiliary guide wheel and the support rod are stainless steel. The use of titanium and stainless steel materials reduces the risk of leakage and improves the conductivity of the conductive rod.

[0012] Preferably, a motor and a power cord connected to the rotating seat are provided at the bottom of the base.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The utility model adopts ceramic bearings. Due to the self-lubricating and non-conductive properties of ceramic bearings, they are not easily affected by the current heating during electroplating processing, which effectively improves the smoothness of the rotation of the conductive wheel, prevents scratches on the electroplating material, and prolongs the working time and service life of the electroplating seat;

[0015] By adding conductive liquid into the conductive liquid leak-proof cup to contact the lower end of the conductive rod, the conductive area of ​​the conductive rod is greatly increased. At the same time, since the power is transmitted at the bottom of the conductive rod, there is no other device on the top of the conductive wheel, which makes it convenient to observe the status of the electroplating material in real time during the electroplating process.

[0016] The main base and two auxiliary bases can be adjusted on the base, which is convenient for electroplating of electroplating materials of different materials and sizes. It is flexible, convenient and highly adaptable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 , a conductive seat for electroplating, comprising a base 1, a rotating seat 2 is arranged on the base 1, a conductive liquid leak-proof cup 3 is arranged on the top of the rotating seat 2, a conductive liquid 4 is arranged in the conductive liquid leak-proof cup 3, two ceramic bearings 5 ​​are arranged in the conductive liquid leak-proof cup 3, and a conductive wheel 6 is placed on the outer peripheral side of the conductive liquid leak-proof cup 3, a conductive rod 7 is arranged in the conductive wheel 6, and the lower end of the conductive rod 7 passes through the inner rings of the two ceramic bearings 5 ​​in turn to contact the conductive liquid 4. The conductive liquid 4 immerses the outer peripheral side of the lower end of the conductive rod 7, thereby increasing the conductive area and the conductive efficiency of the conductive rod 7. The ceramic bearing 5 has the properties of being non-conductive, self-lubricating, and resistant to high temperatures. It is not easy to expand and contract due to heating by electric current during electroplating, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the conductive wheel 6 and preventing scratches from damaging the electroplating material. At the same time, the non-conductive property of the ceramic bearing 5 increases the conductive effect of the electroplating liquid on the conductive rod 7.

[0023] Auxiliary guide wheels 8 are symmetrically arranged on the base 1 , and are distributed in a triangle between the two auxiliary guide wheels and the conductive wheel 6 , and an electroplating structure for electroplating materials to pass through the electroplating process is formed between the two auxiliary guide wheels 8 and the conductive wheel 6 .

[0024] Two auxiliary bearings 9 are arranged in the auxiliary guide wheel 8, and support rods 10 corresponding to the two auxiliary guide wheels 8 are arranged on the base 1, and the support rods 10 are connected and installed with the two auxiliary bearings 9 in the corresponding auxiliary guide wheels 8. When the conductive wheel 6 rotates to process the electroplating material, the auxiliary guide wheel 8 can passively rotate to help convey the electroplating material, and at the same time, the auxiliary guide wheel 8 and the conductive wheel 6 play the role of guiding and limiting the electroplating material.

[0025] The base 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 14, on which the main base 12 and two auxiliary bases 13 are detachably mounted, the rotating base 2 is mounted on the top of the main base 12, and the bottom of the support rod 10 is mounted one-to-one with the two auxiliary bases 13. The mounting holes 14 are elliptical holes, and the main base 12 and the auxiliary base 13 are both mounted on the base 1 by titanium bolts. By adjusting the positions of the main base 12 and the auxiliary base 13 on the mounting holes 14, the spacing between the auxiliary guide wheel 8 and the conductive wheel 6 can be adjusted to adapt to the processing of different electroplating materials.

[0026] A glass support wheel 11 is provided on one side of the base 1. The glass support wheel 11 is used to support the bottom of the electroplating material to prevent the bottom of the electroplating material from directly contacting and rubbing with the base 1.

[0027] The base 1 and the adjustment base are made of titanium, and the auxiliary guide wheel 8 and the support rod 10 are made of stainless steel. The use of titanium and stainless steel reduces the risk of leakage and improves the conduction efficiency of the conductive rod 7.

[0028] A motor and a power line are provided at the bottom of the base 1 and connected to the rotating base 2 .

[0029] When in use, the electroplating material is passed between the two auxiliary guide wheels 8 and the conductive wheel 6. The motor is started to rotate the rotating seat 2, which in turn drives the conductive wheel 6 to rotate. At the same time, the power cord conducts electricity to the conductive liquid 4 in the conductive liquid leak-proof cup 3. The conductive liquid 4 contacts the outer peripheral side of the lower end of the conductive rod 7 to achieve large-area uniform power transmission, and then the electroplating material is electroplated through the conductive wheel 6. During the rotation of the conductive wheel 6, the auxiliary guide wheel 8 can passively rotate through contact with the electroplating material, and assist in limiting the position and angle of the electroplating material during transportation. The ceramic bearing 5 has self-lubricating and non-conductive properties, and will not cause the bearing to expand and contract due to conductive heat, causing the bearing to rotate unevenly and scratch the electroplating material. Since there is no other structure on the top of the conductive wheel 6, it is convenient to observe the processing of the electroplating material in real time during the electroplating process.

[0030] The utility model adopts the non-conductive and self-lubricating properties of the ceramic bearing 5, which greatly improves the working time of the conductive wheel 6 and prevents the electroplating material from being scratched due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the bearing after long-term conduction. The conductive liquid 4 is used to increase the conductive area at the lower end of the conductive rod 7, thereby improving the electroplating effect. There is no other structure on the top of the conductive wheel 6, which is convenient for real-time viewing of the processing status of the electroplating material.
