[0002] With the continuous development of the automobile industry, cars are becoming more and more common in people's lives, and auto parts are constantly enriched and improved. Among them, decorative bright strips are widely used auto parts. Decorative bright strips are a kind of decorative parts made of plastic, and the surface is electroplated to ensure its surface and structural stability. It can greatly improve the quality of the car and has the effect of energy saving and environmental protection. Decorative bright strips also have assembly requirements such as welding, installation, and disassembly. Therefore, local parts cannot be electroplated and need to be resisted before the electroplating process. The conventional resisting method is to manually use a brush to apply the resisting liquid from a container containing the resisting liquid to the parts of the decorative strip that need to be resisted. This method has the problems of low efficiency, low pass rate and inability to ensure consistency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the utility model provides a resist plating tool for electroplated parts, which effectively improves the efficiency of resist plating treatment and enhances product quality.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A plating resistance tool for electroplated parts, comprising a base and a liquid replenishing mechanism, wherein a plurality of plating resistance tanks and a plurality of liquid storage tanks are arranged on the base, and the liquid storage tanks are connected with the plating resistance tanks one by one; the liquid replenishing mechanism comprises a controller, a liquid replenishing tank, a control valve, a plurality of liquid replenishing tubes and a first liquid level sensor; the first liquid level sensor is arranged in the liquid storage tank; one end of the plurality of liquid replenishing tubes are connected with the liquid replenishing tank, and the other end is connected with the liquid storage tank one by one; the control valve is installed on each of the liquid replenishing tubes, the first liquid level sensor collects the liquid level signal and transmits it to the controller, and the controller drives the control valve to open and close.

[0006] According to the above technical means, a resist plating tank and a liquid storage tank are designed on the base of the device. The shape, size and depth of the resist plating tank can be designed according to the shape and size of the resist plating part of the electroplated part to meet the requirements of electroplated parts of different sizes and resist plating heights; the liquid storage tank is connected to the resist plating tank so that the resist plating tank can be replenished in time; the size of the liquid storage tank can be designed according to the replenishment frequency. When the resist plating operation is performed on the decorative bright strips, the resist plating parts of the decorative bright strips are inserted into the resist plating tank one by one. The resist plating tank is filled with resist plating liquid, and the resist plating parts are immersed in the resist plating liquid. After soaking for a period of time, the resist plating treatment of the decorative bright strips can be achieved. The operation is simple and convenient, and the efficiency is high. The utility model provides a resist plating tool for electroplated parts, which can meet the requirements of different heights of each resist plating part of the decorative bright strips, and solves the problems of low resist plating efficiency and low qualified rate.

[0007] Furthermore, a limiting structure for limiting the insertion depth of the electroplated part is provided in each of the resist tanks. The design of the limiting structure can ensure that the height of each decorative bright strip and the resist part remains consistent, so as to ensure the consistency of the product and improve the quality of the product. In the utility model, the limiting structure can be designed as a limiting boss.

[0008] Furthermore, an upper limit scale line and a lower limit scale line are provided on the side wall of each of the liquid storage tanks. When the first liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level is lower than the height of the lower limit scale line, the controller controls the control valve to open and add the plating resistance liquid to the liquid storage tank; when the first liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level reaches the height of the upper limit scale line, the controller controls the control valve to close and stops adding the plating resistance liquid to the liquid storage tank.

[0009] Furthermore, a recovery tank is provided on the base, and the liquid storage tank is provided with an overflow port, and the overflow port is connected to the recovery tank.

A recovery pipe is also included, one end of which is connected to the recovery tank, and the other end is connected to the replenishing tank. The plating resistance liquid in the recovery tank then flows into the replenishing tank through the recovery pipe, and is recycled for multiple times to avoid waste.

[0011] Furthermore, a second liquid level sensor is included, which is arranged in the recovery tank and is in communication with the controller. The second liquid level sensor collects the height of the plating resistance liquid in the recovery tank. When the liquid level reaches a set height, the controller controls the first peristaltic pump to start and recycle all the plating resistance liquid in the recovery tank into the liquid replenishing tank.

[0012] Furthermore, a second peristaltic pump is further included, and each of the liquid replenishing tubes is equipped with the second peristaltic pump, and the second peristaltic pump is communicatively connected to the controller. Installing the second peristaltic pump on the liquid replenishing tube can allow the plating resist to be added to the liquid storage tank more quickly, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, a transparent cover plate is also included, and the cover plate is arranged on the liquid storage tank and the recovery tank. The cover plate is transparent, and the height of the plating resist in the liquid storage tank and the recovery tank can be easily observed; on the other hand, the cover plate can prevent the plating resist from volatilizing and contaminating the plating resist.

[0014] Furthermore, a mechanical arm for picking up workpieces is also included, the mechanical arm is located above the base, and the mechanical arm is in communication connection with the controller. The mechanical arm can automatically pick up electroplated parts, realize automatic resist plating operation, and improve production efficiency.

[0015] Working principle: The controller controls the control valve to open, controls the second peristaltic pump to start, and fills the resisting liquid in the resisting tank and the liquid storage tank to the specified liquid level; the controller controls the manipulator to take the decorative bright strips to be resisted, and inserts the resisting parts of the decorative bright strips into the resisting tank one by one, so that the resisting parts of the decorative bright strips are all immersed in the resisting liquid at one time. After soaking for a period of time, the controller controls the manipulator to take out the decorative bright strips and place them in the specified position to wait for the next process. After resisting the plating of multiple decorative bright strips, the resisting liquid in the liquid storage tank and the resisting tank is reduced. When the first liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level is lower than the lower limit scale line, the controller controls the control valve to open and add resisting liquid to the liquid storage tank; when the first liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level reaches the upper limit scale line, the controller controls the control valve to close and stops adding resisting liquid to the liquid storage tank.
