Three electroplating fixtures 3 are fixed at the rear position of the top surface of the electroplating bath 1. An electroplating solution flow assembly 2 penetrating into the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 1 is arranged on the left side wall of the electroplating bath 1;

[0026] As shown Figure 4 in the figure, the electroplating solution flow assembly 2 of this embodiment specifically includes an air pump 21, a U-shaped pipe 23 connected to the air outlet port of the air pump 21 and penetrating into the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 1, and several groups of one-way air nozzles 22 installed on the top surface of the U-shaped pipe 23. The intake end of the air pump 21 is connected to a nitrogen cylinder through a trachea, and the side wall of the housing of the air pump 21 is locked to the left side wall of the electroplating bath 1 by screws. A plurality of through holes for installing the one-way air nozzles 22 are provided on the top surface of the U-shaped pipe 23 located in the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 1. Among them, the U-shaped pipe 23 is integrally U-shaped and surrounds the electric heating rod 4.

[0027] As shown Figure 2 in the figure, the electroplating fixture 3 of this embodiment specifically includes a support 31, a connecting rod 32 fixed to the top of the support 31, a cross beam 33 fixed to the front end of the connecting rod 32, and 4-5 groups of inner hole workpiece fixing members 36 hung on the cross beam 33;

[0028] As shown Figure 3 in the figure, the inner hole workpiece fixing member 36 specifically includes a support plate 361, a fixing block 362 fixed to the lower surface of the support plate 361, a lead screw 363 rotatably connected to the lower surface of the fixing block 362, and a nut 364 movably arranged on the outer ring of the lead screw 363. A upper fixing ring 368 is fixed to the rear side of the fixing block 362, a lower fixing ring 365 is fixed to the rear side of the nut 364, and an inner hole workpiece 367 is clamped between the upper fixing ring 368 and the lower fixing ring 365. An anode 366 penetrating through the lower fixing ring 365, the upper fixing ring 368 and the inner hole workpiece 367 is arranged on the bottom surface of the support plate 361.

[0029] As shown Figure 2 in the figure, hooks 34 are hung on both the left and right sides of the top surface of the cross beam 33. A back plate 35 is fixed to the bottom surface of the hook 34. The rear end of the support plate 361 is fixedly connected to the front side surface of the back plate 35.

[0030] Specifically, a threaded hole adapted to the outer thread of the lead screw 363 is provided inside the nut 364 of this embodiment, and circular holes larger than the inner diameter of the inner hole workpiece 367 are provided inside both the upper fixing ring 368 and the lower fixing ring 365; there is no contact between the outer surface of the anode 366 and the inner side wall of the inner hole of the inner hole workpiece 367, and it is used for the electroplating solution to flow between the inner hole workpiece 367 and the anode 366.

[0031] According to the above-mentioned preferred technical solution, the working process of this technical solution is described as follows:

[0032] When the chromium plating device for injection-molded electroplated parts of the present utility model is in use, first, the posture of the lower fixing ring 365 is stabilized, and the lead screw 363 is rotated to move the nut 364 up and down until the lower fixing ring 365 and the upper fixing ring 368 contact the upper and lower end faces of the inner hole workpiece 367. At this time, the anode 366 is located in the hole inside the inner hole workpiece 367. After the electroplating solution is heated and electrified, the electroplating solution will flow along the gap between the inner hole workpiece 367 and the anode 366, thereby electroplating the inner wall of the hole inside the inner hole workpiece 367.

[0033] During the electroplating process, the electric heating rod 4 heats the electroplating solution inside the electroplating tank 1. The air pump 21 pumps nitrogen into the U-shaped pipe 23 and disperses it into the electroplating tank 1 through the one-way air nozzle 22 inside the U-shaped pipe 23, causing the electroplating solution to surge upward under the influence of the gas, thereby enhancing the fluidity of the electroplating solution, enabling the electroplating solution around the electric heating rod 4 to flow, making the electroplating solution heat more evenly, and preventing the unevenness of the surface coating from being affected by the uneven temperature of the chromic acid solution during electroplating.

[0034] It should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent replacements, changes, etc. can be made to the present utility model. However, as long as these transformations do not deviate from the spirit of the present utility model, they should be within the protection scope of the present utility model. In addition, some terms used in the description and claims of this application are not restrictive, but are only for the convenience of description.
