Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electroplating, in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning tank for electroplated parts. Background Art

[0002] During electroplating, the plating metal or other insoluble materials serve as the anode, the workpiece to be plated serves as the cathode, and the cations of the plating metal are reduced on the surface of the workpiece to be plated to form a plating layer. In order to eliminate the interference of other cations and make the plating uniform and firm, a solution containing the plating metal cations is required as the electroplating solution to keep the concentration of the plating metal cations unchanged. The purpose of electroplating is to plate a metal coating on the substrate and change the surface properties or size of the substrate. Electroplating can enhance the corrosion resistance of the metal (the plating metal is mostly corrosion-resistant metal), increase hardness, prevent wear, improve conductivity, smoothness, heat resistance and surface beauty. After the parts are electroplated, their surface needs to be cleaned. At the same time, in order to prevent the coating from being damaged, it is forbidden to put the parts into water for stirring and cleaning at the same time.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent CN212821486U uses an ultrasonic electroplating cleaning machine to clean electroplated parts. During cleaning, a placement frame with a plurality of electroplated parts is located above an ultrasonic generator, and the ultrasonic generator and water flow clean the electroplated parts in the placement frame.

[0004] When the electroplated parts are directly placed in the placement frame for cleaning, the ultrasonic generator located below the electroplated parts is difficult to clean the upper part of the electroplated parts. When the electroplated parts are impacted by the upward water flow, the electroplated parts will jump up and down repeatedly in the frame, and the electroplated parts will frequently hit the frame wall, causing damage to the plating layer of the electroplated parts, affecting the cleaning effect.

[0005] Furthermore, since the electroplated parts are placed directly in the frame, they need to be taken out after cleaning, and the electroplated parts will come into contact with the plating on their surface when they are grabbed. Therefore, they must be handled with care to avoid damaging the plating on the electroplated parts. This makes it inconvenient to recycle the electroplated parts after cleaning, further affecting the cleaning effect.

[0006] Therefore, a cleaning tank is proposed which can continuously perform ultrasonic cleaning on all sides of a product while preventing the product from being displaced under the impact of water flow. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the first cleaning component and the second cleaning component both include a third bracket, an ultrasonic vibration plate and a second flow guide element, the third bracket is a U-shaped bracket, a groove is recessed at the center position of the third bracket in a direction away from the gap, one end of the ultrasonic vibration plate is arranged in the groove, and the second flow guide element is arranged at both ends of the third bracket.

[0011] Preferably, a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe are respectively provided at both ends of the bottom surface of each cleaning chamber.

[0012] Preferably, the first guide element and the second guide element both include a base and a circular tube, one end of the base is provided with a rectangular slot for inserting the first plate or the third bracket, the other end of the base is provided with a circular slot, and the circular tube is detachably arranged inside the circular slot.

[0016] Preferably, a circulating filter device is further included, the water inlet pipes are respectively connected to the water outlets of the circulating filter device, and the water outlet pipes are respectively connected to the water inlets of the circulating filter device.

[0017] The circulating filtration device includes a water tank, a filter and a circulating pump. The filter is arranged inside the water tank. The circulating pump is connected to the water tank. The water tank is arranged below the cleaning tank. The cleaning tank is arranged inside the water tank. The cleaning tank is projected downward at the center of the water tank. An overflow hole is opened at the upper end of the cleaning chamber.

[0018] Preferably, the workpiece connecting head is threadedly connected to the lower end of the second rod, and a spherical clamping block is provided at the lower end of the workpiece connecting head.

[0019] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: in the cleaning chamber, water will flow from one end of the cleaning channel to the other end. When the water flows into the gap, the first flow guide element located at the end of the third bracket will block part of the water flow, reducing the flow rate of the water when it enters the gap. When the water needs to flow out of the gap, the water will be blocked by a pair of first flow guide elements at the other end of the third bracket, further reducing the flow rate of the water when it enters and exits the gap. Then the liquid level of the water in the gap is raised to ensure that the water can immerse the electroplated parts.

[0020] Before cleaning, adjust the position of the sliding seat according to the number and position of the cleaning mechanism, pass the workpiece connector at the lower end of the second rod through the hole of the electroplated part, and then reset the first rod and install it to the upper end of the cleaning tank. When the first rod is installed to the upper end of the cleaning tank, the second rod and the electroplated part suspended at its lower end will be located in the gap. Since the water flows unidirectionally in the cleaning chamber, the water will continue to flush the electroplated parts around when it flows through the gap. The ultrasonic vibration plates on both sides of the electroplated parts emit ultrasonic waves, which will rebound after encountering the other ultrasonic vibration plate opposite. Most of the ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic vibration plates on both sides will be confined to the gap. The ultrasonic waves distributed in the gap perform ultrasonic cleaning around the electroplated parts.

[0021] Since the cantilever is detachably mounted on the first rod, the first rod, the cantilever and the electroplated part can be removed together for drying without contacting the electroplated part during the process.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: during cleaning, the workpiece suspended in the gap will be surrounded by water flow, and when in use, the ultrasonic generator is turned on, and while the water flow continues to flush the product, ultrasonic cleaning is performed on both sides of the product, thereby achieving a good cleaning effect. Moreover, the position of the workpiece is fixed during cleaning, which helps to prevent the product from hitting the ultrasonic vibration plate. Since the cantilever can be detachably mounted on the first rod, the first rod, the cantilever and the electroplated part can be removed together for drying, and the electroplated part does not need to be touched during the process.
