Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conductive devices, in particular to an adaptive conductive device. Background Art

[0002] During the electroplating process, the cathode is the place where electrons are received and reduction reactions occur, while the anode is the place where electrons are released and oxidation reactions occur. The current passes through the electrolyte solution from the anode to the cathode, thereby depositing the required metal coating on the cathode surface. For electroplated parts such as long round rods, the design of cathode conduction needs to ensure that the current can be evenly and effectively distributed on the entire surface of the electroplated part.

[0003] In the existing continuous electroplating line for round rods in passing mode, the common method is that there is a cylinder on each side of the round rod to be electroplated, and each cylinder pushes the conductive cathode to contact the round rod to be electroplated. However, when the conductive cathode contacts the round rod to be electroplated, it is very difficult for the two cylinders to move synchronously, and there will be a sequence in contacting the workpiece. Especially when the front and rear round rods are not concentric, it is more obvious, which will cause the contact surfaces on both sides to have different positions and pressures, thereby affecting the conduction efficiency or damaging the workpiece.

Due to the meshing between the gears 402, the consistency of the operation of the device is effectively ensured.

[0027] Further, the device further includes a working part 5, and the working part 5 is cooperated with the clamping part 2 to realize the clamping and processing of the workpiece. The working part 5 includes an adjusting assembly 501 and a processing seat 502, the adjusting assembly 501 is cooperated with the processing seat 502, and both the adjusting assembly 501 and the processing seat 502 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the connecting part 1.

[0028] Further, the adjusting assembly 501 includes a fourth shaft 5011, a fifth shaft 5012 and an elastic member 5013. The fourth shaft 5011 is arranged between the clamping parts 2, one end of the elastic member 5013 is connected to the fourth shaft 5011, and the other end of the elastic member 5013 is connected to the fifth shaft 5012.

[0033] The following describes the specific working process of the adaptive conductive device according to the embodiments of the present invention as follows:

[0034] First, hoist the connecting member 1 onto the linear guide slider, and the device can be pushed forward and backward along the guide rail by a power component such as a module or a motor. When the device moves to the workpiece, the air cylinder 301 contracts, so that the clamp members 2 are closed, and the processing seat 502 clamps the workpiece as the clamp members 2 are closed. Then the device moves forward with the workpiece to be plated and performs electroplating. When the electroplating is completed, at this time, the workpiece has been moved a certain distance by the device. The air cylinder 301 extends, so that the clamp members 2 are opened, and the processing seat 502 synchronously releases the workpiece. Then the device returns to the origin under the push of a power component such as a module or a motor and clamps the workpiece again through the contraction of the air cylinder 301 for cyclic operation.

[0035] During operation, the workpiece to be plated passes between the two processing seats 502 of the device. The air cylinder 301 tightens, and the two clamp members 2 move inward simultaneously under the action of the meshing of the gears 402 until the workpiece to be plated is clamped.

[0036] The conductive copper braid is fixed on the processing seat 502. When clamping, the copper braid first contacts the workpiece to be plated, and then the copper braid will form an arc contact with the contact surface of the workpiece to be plated under the action of the groove 5022, increasing the conductive contact area, thereby increasing the electroplating efficiency. If the rod diameters of different workpieces are different or the front and rear workpieces are not concentric, under the action of the adjustment assembly 501, the elastic member 5013 will cooperate with the processing seat 502 to automatically adjust the angle to ensure that the copper braid is in close contact with the workpiece to be plated, avoiding damage to the workpiece caused by arcing due to poor contact during power-on.

[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0038] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
