[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] A nickel plating additive storage device includes a storage box 1, a feed port 2 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the storage box 1, and the feed port 2 is arranged in an L-shaped structure. The outer surface of the storage box 1 is hinged with a box door 16, and the storage box 1 is provided with a movable plate 12 inside. The feed port 2 is located above the movable plate 12, and further includes:
[0025] An exhaust assembly, located inside the storage box 1, is used to drive the movable plate 12 to discharge the air inside the storage box 1;
[0026] The transmission component is located at the top of the storage box 1 and is used to drive the exhaust component to work. The granular nickel plating additive is poured into the storage box 1 through the feed port 2, and the nickel plating additive can be taken out by opening the box door 16.
[0027] Furthermore, the exhaust assembly includes a threaded rod 10, a moving block 11 and a rectangular groove 14. Two symmetrically distributed rectangular grooves 14 are opened on the inner wall of the storage box 1. The threaded rod 10 is rotatably connected between the top and bottom inner walls of the storage box 1. The outer surface of the threaded rod 10 is threadedly sleeved with a moving block 11. The moving block 11 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 12, and the moving block 11 is slidingly connected to the rectangular groove 14. The threaded rod 10 is located inside one of the rectangular grooves 14, and the moving plate 12 is slidingly connected to the other rectangular groove 14. The moving plate 12 is movably fitted with the inner wall of the storage box 1. Since the moving block 11 is threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod 10 and the moving block 11 is slidingly connected to the rectangular groove 14, the moving block 11 will move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 10. The movement of the moving block 11 drives the moving plate 12 to move downward, while compressing the air inside the storage box 1.
[0028] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a drive motor 7, a pulley 8 and a belt 9. The top of the storage box 1 is fixedly connected to a support frame. The top of the storage box 1 is rotatably connected to two pulleys 8. A belt 9 is sleeved between the two pulleys 8. The two pulleys 8 are located inside the support frame. The top of the support frame is fixedly installed with a drive motor 7. The output end of the drive motor 7 is fixedly connected to a nearby pulley 8, one of which is fixedly connected to the moving block 11. The output end of the drive motor 7 drives one pulley 8 to rotate. Through the transmission of the belt 9, the other pulley 8 also rotates, and the threaded rod 10 fixedly connected to one of the pulleys 8 starts to rotate.
[0029] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected between the bottom and the top inner wall of the storage box 1, another pulley 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13, the rotating shaft 13 is movably connected to the movable plate 12, and the outer surface of the rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to a stirring blade 15, and the stirring blade 15 is located below the movable plate 12. The rotating shaft 13 fixedly connected to another pulley 8 also starts to rotate, driving the stirring blade 15 to rotate, stirring the additive. During the stirring process of the nickel-plating additive, the nickel-plating additive will be in a state of continuous flow. This flow not only helps to evenly mix the additive, but also helps to more fully discharge the gas.
[0030] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the storage box 1, and a one-way valve 4 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the exhaust pipe 3. The compressed air is discharged from the storage box 1 through the exhaust pipe 3 and the one-way valve 4 to prevent air retention from causing oxidation of the additive.
[0031] Furthermore, a visual glass window 5 is fixedly installed inside the storage box 1, and a plurality of equally spaced scale lines 6 are fixed on the outer surface of the storage box 1. The state of the additive inside the storage box 1 can be observed through the visual glass window 5, and the amount of additive added can be adjusted according to the scale lines 6 to ensure that the amount of additive in the storage box 1 is appropriate.
[0032] Working principle: When the staff needs to use the nickel plating additive storage device, the granular nickel plating additive is poured into the storage box 1 through the feed port 2, and the nickel plating additive falls to the bottom of the storage box 1, and then the driving motor 7 is started. The output end of the driving motor 7 drives a pulley 8 to rotate, and through the transmission of the belt 9, the other pulley 8 also rotates, and the threaded rod 10 fixedly connected to one of the pulleys 8 starts to rotate. Since the moving block 11 is threadedly sleeved with the threaded rod 10 and the moving block 11 is slidably connected to the rectangular groove 14, the moving block 11 will move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 10. The movement of the moving block 11 drives the moving plate 12 to move downward, and at the same time compresses the storage box 1. The compressed air is discharged from the storage box 1 through the exhaust pipe 3 and the one-way valve 4 to prevent air stagnation from causing oxidation of the additive. The rotating shaft 13 fixedly connected to another pulley 8 also starts to rotate, driving the stirring blade 15 to rotate to stir the additive. During the stirring process of the nickel plating additive, the nickel plating additive will be in a state of continuous flow. This flow not only helps to evenly mix the additive, but also helps to more fully discharge the gas. The state of the additive inside the storage box 1 can be observed through the visual glass window 5, and the amount of additive added can be adjusted according to the scale line 6 to ensure that the amount of additive in the storage box 1 is appropriate. The nickel plating additive can be taken out by opening the box door 16.
