Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electroplating equipment, in particular to an open barrel plating machine. Background Art

[0002] A barrel plating machine is an important piece of equipment in the electroplating process. It rotates the drum and circulates the plating solution, causing small parts to continuously tumble and fall inside the drum, thereby achieving the purpose of electroplating. Barrel plating machines are widely used in the electroplating of large quantities of small parts such as fasteners, stamped parts, plumbing parts, and electronic components.

[0003] The working principle of a barrel plating machine is mainly to evenly distribute the parts to be electroplated on the barrel plating head through the barrel plating head, and then rotate the barrel plating head through the drive system. At the same time, the plating solution is heated to a specified temperature, and the parts are evenly heated in the plating solution and continuously tumble under the rotation of the barrel plating head, thus completing the electroplating process. This method ensures uniform electroplating on the surface of the parts, improving the electroplating efficiency and quality.

[0004] However, traditional barrel plating machines are all enclosed. The structure of the enclosed drum is relatively complex, increasing the difficulty of manufacturing and maintenance. At the same time, operators need to master certain skills and experience to ensure the stability of the barrel plating process and the electroplating quality. Moreover, the state of the products to be plated during operation cannot be monitored, or problems cannot be dealt with in a timely manner. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide an open barrel plating machine to solve one or more problems in the prior art.

[0016] Further, the drum is connected to the fourth gear. The fourth gear is arranged between the drum and the support plate.

[0017] Further, the wire bundling assembly includes a connecting piece and a wire threading piece. The connecting piece is rotatably connected to the first boom. The wire threading piece is rotatably connected to the connecting piece.

In order to make the objectives, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, please refer to the attached drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that the structures, scales, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings of this specification are only used to cooperate with the content disclosed in the specification for those familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of the present utility model. Therefore, they do not have technical essential meanings. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects that the present utility model can produce and the objectives that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope covered by the technical content disclosed by the present utility model.

[0027] The following describes the specific structure of an open barrel plating machine:

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, The open barrel plating machine of this embodiment includes a frame 1, a barrel 2 and a conductive component 3. The frame 1 is composed of a first arm 101, a second arm 102 and a third arm 103 connected in sequence. In this embodiment, both the first arm 101 and the third arm 103 are arranged parallel to the horizontal ground and perpendicular to the second arm 102. The conductive component 3 is connected to the first arm 101. The conductive component 3 includes a copper head 301 and a copper bar 302. The copper head 301 cooperates with the copper bar 302, jointly ensuring the smooth progress of the electroplating process and the stable and reliable electroplating quality.

[0029] Furthermore, the barrel plating machine includes a support plate 6 for supporting the barrel 2. One end of the support plate 6 is connected to the second arm 102, and the other end of the support plate 6 is connected to the third arm 103. The included angle formed by the support plate 6 and the third arm 103 is 42° - 48°, which helps the parts in the barrel plating machine to tumble more fully, thus ensuring that each part can be evenly electroplated.

[0030] Furthermore, the barrel plating machine further includes a power component 4. The power component 4 includes a power part 401 and a transmission part 402. The power part 401 includes a first gear 4011 and a main shaft 4012. The first gear 4011 is arranged at one end of the main shaft 4012. The main shaft 4012 is connected to the first arm 101 and cooperates with a part of the transmission part 402. Sleeve and limit sleeve are respectively arranged at both ends of the main shaft 4012. The sleeve mainly plays a role in protecting the main shaft 4012, reducing the friction between the main shaft 4012 and the first arm 101, thereby extending the service life of the main shaft 4012. By setting the limit sleeve, the stability and reliability of the main shaft 4012 during operation are ensured, preventing displacement or vibration, and thus reducing the failure rate.

[0031] Furthermore, the transmission part 402 includes a second gear 4021, a third gear 4022 and a fourth gear 4023. The second gear 4021 and the third gear 4022 are respectively rotatably arranged on the second arm 102. The third gear 4022 meshes with the second gear 4021 and the fourth gear 4023 respectively. The second gear 4021 also cooperates with the main shaft 4012.

[0032] Furthermore, the fourth gear 4023 is rotatably arranged on the support plate 6. The barrel 2 is connected to the fourth gear 4023. The fourth gear 4023 is arranged between the barrel 2 and the support plate 6. Due to the oblique setting of the support plate 6, the barrel 2 is also obliquely arranged. In this way, during the electroplating process, it helps the plating solution to fully convect and exchange inside and outside the barrel, which can better ensure the uniformity and consistency of the coating of the plated parts, and also facilitates the operation and maintenance of the equipment.

[0033] With the arrangement of the power assembly 4, by applying an active force to the first gear 4011, the main shaft 4012 is driven to rotate, and then the second gear 4021 rotates driven, then the third gear 4022 and the fourth gear 4023 rotate driven in sequence. Finally, the drum 2 rotates under the rotation of the fourth gear 4023 to perform electroplating operations.

[0034] Furthermore, the barrel plating machine further includes a wire bundling assembly 5 for adjusting the wire between the drum 2 and the conductive assembly 3. The wire bundling assembly 5 includes a connecting member 501 and a wire threading member 502. The connecting member 501 is rotatably connected to the first arm 101, and the wire threading member 502 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 501. The wire can be adaptively adjusted through the wire bundling assembly 5 to achieve a good conductive effect.

[0035] Furthermore, the drum 2 contracts towards the side away from the support plate 6 to form a first hole 201. Through this arrangement, it effectively prevents the phenomenon that the plating solution splashes out due to uneven distribution inside the drum 2 caused by too high rotation speed and enhanced centrifugal force of the drum 2.

[0036] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described 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 described in this specification.

[0037] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description 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 invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
