Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electroplating equipment, in particular to a novel electroplating bath for lamp poles. Background Technique

[0002] Electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on the surface of certain metals by using the electrolysis principle. It is a process of making the surface of metal or other material parts adhere to a layer of metal film by electrolysis, so as to prevent metal oxidation (such as rust), improve wear resistance, electrical conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (such as copper sulfate), and enhance beauty. Especially for outdoor devices such as lamp poles, electroplating operations are essential;

[0003] However, traditional electroplating baths still have some disadvantages. For example, electroplating is prone to be insufficient during electroplating, and the surface of the lamp pole cannot fully contact the electroplating solution. At the same time, metal debris will accumulate at the bottom of the bath after long-term electroplating and adhere to the surface of the lamp pole during the processing, resulting in a rough and non-smooth appearance of the lamp pole surface. In addition, the opening of the traditional electroplating bath is wide, and when waves are generated in the electroplating bath, it is easy to splash out along the opening of the bath, causing waste. Based on the above-discovered disadvantages, we propose a novel electroplating bath for lamp poles. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a novel electroplating bath for lamp poles to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A novel electroplating bath for lamp poles, including a housing, an inner tank, and a robotic arm;

[0006] An inner tank is arranged in the inner cavity of the housing. The bottom of the inner cavity of the inner tank is a downwardly concave arc surface. Support frames are equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the inner tank, and the supporting surfaces of the support frames are all arc-shaped;

[0007] A precipitation chamber is reserved between the inner cavity of the housing and the bottom of the inner tank. Two groups of robotic arm bases are symmetrically welded to the rear side of the housing. The tops of the two groups of robotic arm bases are both provided with robotic arms, and the robotic arms are located directly above the inner tank. The robotic arm is a mature existing technology and can complete functions such as grasping, clamping, transferring, and placing, and will not be elaborated here. During use, operate the robotic arm to grasp the lamp pole and place the lamp pole on the support frame in the inner tank. When placing, insert the right end of the lamp pole into the support tube, and place the rod body and the left end of the lamp pole on the support frame and the auxiliary tray;

[0008] On the right side of the said outer shell, a mounting bracket is fixed by bolts. On the top of the mounting bracket, a rotating motor is fixed. On the left end of the rotating motor, a supporting cylinder is connected. On the left side of the inner cavity of the inner tank, an auxiliary tray is welded. The auxiliary tray is a semi-cylindrical body, and a placing notch is provided above the auxiliary tray. Around the top of the outer shell, splash-proof baffles are provided.

[0009] Furthermore, leakage holes are evenly provided at the bottom of the inner tank, and filter meshes are arranged in the leakage holes.

[0010] Furthermore, sewage pipes are arranged at the bottoms of both the left and right ends of the outer shell, and the sewage pipes communicate with the sedimentation cavity inward.

[0011] Furthermore, the supporting cylinder is arranged on the right side of the inner cavity of the inner tank, and a transmission shaft is connected between the supporting cylinder and the rotating motor.

[0012] Furthermore, arc-shaped surfaces are arranged on the inner sides of the splash-proof baffles. Bolts are arranged at both ends of the splash-proof baffles, and the splash-proof baffles are fixed on the top edge of the outer shell by bolts.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The electroplating bath of this solution includes an outer shell, an inner tank and a sedimentation cavity. The debris in the inner tank precipitates downward through the leakage holes and accumulates in the sedimentation cavity. The sedimentation cavity plays the role of collecting sediment and actively isolating debris, which can reduce the trouble of the lamp post being attached by debris during electroplating, and is very simple and efficient.

[0015] 2. Splash-proof baffles are arranged around the top of the outer shell. The splash-proof baffles incline inward by - degrees. The splash-proof baffles are as wide as the frame of the outer shell, and arc-shaped surfaces are arranged on the inner sides of the splash-proof baffles.

Embodiment

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a new electroplating bath technology solution for lamp poles: including a housing 1, an inner tank 6 and a robotic arm 3;

[0025] The inner cavity of the housing 1 is provided with an inner tank 6. The bottom of the inner cavity of the inner tank 6 is a downwardly concave arc surface. The bottom of the inner tank 6 is equidistantly provided with support frames 7, and the support surfaces of the support frames 7 are all arc-shaped;

[0026] The bottom of the inner tank 6 is evenly provided with leakage holes 10, and filter meshes are arranged in the leakage holes 10; A sedimentation chamber 11 is reserved between the inner cavity of the housing 1 and the bottom of the inner tank 6;

[0027] Sewage pipes 12 are arranged at the bottoms of the left and right ends of the housing 1, and the sewage pipes 12 communicate with the sedimentation chamber 11 inwardly;

[0028] Two groups of bases of robotic arms 2 are symmetrically welded on the rear side of the housing 1. The tops of the two groups of bases of robotic arms 2 are provided with robotic arms 3, and the robotic arms 3 are located directly above the inner tank 6;

[0029] An installation bracket 4 is fixed on the right side of the housing 1 by bolts. A rotating motor 5 is fixed on the top of the installation bracket 4. The left end of the rotating motor 5 is connected with a support cylinder 9. The support cylinder 9 is arranged on the right side of the inner cavity of the inner tank 6 and is connected with the rotating motor 5 by a transmission shaft;

[0030] On the left side of the inner cavity of the inner tank 6, an auxiliary tray 8 is welded. The auxiliary tray 8 is a semi-cylindrical body, and a placement notch is provided above the auxiliary tray 8; the auxiliary tray 8, the support cylinder 9 and the support frame 7 are on the same horizontal line;

[0031] Around the top of the outer shell 1, splash-proof baffles 13 are provided. Arc-shaped surfaces 14 are provided on the inner sides of the splash-proof baffles 13. Bolts are provided at both ends of the splash-proof baffles 13, and the splash-proof baffles 13 are fixed to the top edge of the outer shell 1 through the bolts;

[0032] This solution provides an electroplating bath with electroplating precipitation function for the circular main body part of the lamp post. The robotic arm 3 is a mature existing technology and can complete functions such as grasping, clamping, transferring, and placing, etc., and will not be elaborated here; during use, operate the robotic arm 3 to grasp the lamp post and place the lamp post on the support frame 7 in the inner tank 6. When placing, insert the right end of the lamp post into the support cylinder 10, and place the rod body and the left end of the lamp post on the support frame 7 and the auxiliary tray 8;

[0033] The support cylinder 9 is driven to rotate by the rotation motor 5, so that the lamp post can be in more full contact with the electroplating solution on the surface of the lamp post during electroplating, and the electroplating is more uniform after soaking and rotating; the left side of the lamp post is supported by the support frame 7 and the auxiliary tray 8 to help the lamp post rotate; then operate the robotic arm 3 to pick up the lamp post and place it at the front side position of the outer shell 1. A support plate is placed in cooperation with the front side of the outer shell 1, and the lamp post is transferred to the electroplating bath by a forklift;

[0034] When taking and turning in the electroplating bath, it is inevitable to stir up waves, and a large amount of electroplating solution is often added to the electroplating bath in the electroplating bath, which will cause the electroplating solution to splash out during the taking and electroplating processes; around the top of the outer shell 1, splash-proof baffles 13 are provided. The splash-proof baffles 13 are inclined inward by 5-10 degrees. The splash-proof baffles 13 are of the same width as the frame of the outer shell 1, and arc-shaped surfaces are provided on the inner sides of the splash-proof baffles 13. The function of the splash-proof baffles 13 is similar to that of a breakwater, and the outer edge height of the outer shell 1 is increased. When the waves generated by the electroplating solution in the electroplating bath splash outwards, they will impact on the splash-proof baffles 13 and flow back into the inner tank 6 downward under the guidance of the arc-shaped surface 14, reducing the waste caused by splashing;

[0035] At the same time, leakage holes 10 are provided at the bottom of the inner tank 6. A filter screen is provided in the leakage holes 10. The filter screen is formed by perforating corrosion-resistant ceramics. When metal debris residues are deposited at the bottom of the inner tank 6 after long-term electroplating, too much deposited debris is likely to adhere to the surface of the lamp post, resulting in a rough surface of the electroplated lamp post, reducing the appearance and quality;

[0036] A sedimentation chamber 11 is provided at the bottom of the inner tank 6. The debris in the inner tank 6 precipitates downward through the leakage orifice 10 and accumulates in the sedimentation chamber 11. When the lamp post tumbles in the inner tank 6, the debris in the sedimentation chamber 11 will not tumble with the water flow, which can reduce the annoyance of the lamp post being attached by debris during electroplating, and is very simple and efficient. After the processing is completed, one end of the sewage discharge pipe 12 can be connected to the pressurized water pipe, and the other end of the sewage discharge pipe 12 can be connected to the sewage collection tank. The sedimentation chamber 11 can be flushed through the pressurized water pipe, which is very convenient.
