[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electroplating processes, and in particular to a multifunctional electroplating fixture. Background Art
[0002] Electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on certain metal or non-metal surfaces using the principle of electrolysis. This technology deposits a layer of metal film on the surface of the workpiece to be plated through electrolysis to achieve the purpose of changing the surface properties of the workpiece, improving performance or aesthetics.
[0003] For flat, long metal structures, local electroplating operations are required. In the traditional electroplating industry, hangers are used to hoist the metal structures and then control the contact area with the electroplating solution. However, since the metal structures use hangers, they may be affected by external forces when entering the electroplating solution, causing shaking, which in turn affects the size of the electroplating area and cannot be precisely controlled.

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 This application is described in further detail.
[0033] The embodiment of the present application discloses a multifunctional electroplating fixture.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A multifunctional electroplating fixture includes a frame 1, which includes a first support rod 11, an adjustment plate 12 is vertically arranged at the end of the first support rod 11, and second support rods 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first support rod 11, one end of any second support rod 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the first support rod 11 away from the adjustment plate 12, and the other end of any second support rod 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the adjustment plate 12, and any second support rod 13 forms a stable triangular structure with the adjustment plate 12 and the first support rod 11; a plurality of clamping structures 2 are detachably arranged in a row on the adjustment plate 12.
[0035] The structures of any clamping structure 2 in the embodiments of the present application are the same, and any one of the clamping structures 2 is now taken as an example for explanation.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The clamping structure 2 includes a fixed plate 21 and a clamping plate 22. A plurality of positioning holes are provided on the adjusting plate 12. One end of the fixed plate 21 is detachably connected to the positioning hole of the adjusting plate 12 by a bolt. The clamping plate 22 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 21. Two fixed ear plates are relatively provided in the middle of the fixed plate 21. A rotating ear plate that cooperates with the two fixed ear plates is provided in the middle of the clamping plate 22. The rotating ear plate is located between the two fixed ear plates, and the two fixed ear plates and the rotating ear plates are penetrated by bolts and fixed with nuts. The rotation axis of the clamping plate 22 is parallel to the length direction of the adjusting plate 12. A limiting plate 3 is also provided between adjacent clamping structures 2. The limiting plate 3 is fixed to the adjusting plate 12 by bolts, and the side surfaces in the width direction of the fixed plate 21 form abutment with the side surfaces of the adjacent limiting plates 3.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The clamping plate 22 and the fixed plate 21 are respectively provided with a first clamping surface 23 and a second clamping surface 24 at one end away from the adjusting plate 12, and a clamping space 25 is formed between the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 24. An elastic structure 4 is provided between the fixed plate 21 and the clamping plate 22 on the side close to the frame 1. The elastic structure 4 includes a first support rod 41 vertically arranged on the fixed plate 21 and a second support rod 42 vertically arranged on the clamping plate 22. The elastic structure 4 also includes a clamping spring 43, one end of the clamping spring 43 is sleeved on the first support rod 41 and abuts against the fixed plate 21, and the other end is sleeved on the second support rod 42 and abuts against the clamping plate 22. This design makes the clamping process more flexible and controllable, and also enhances the durability of the clamp.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 An extension portion 5 is provided on the same side of the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 24, and an extension avoidance area 6 is formed between the extension portions 5. The setting of the extension avoidance area 6 facilitates the installation of partially heterogeneous metals to be plated, thereby enhancing the applicability of the fixture.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the clamping structure 2 clamps the metal to be plated, the first clamping surface 23 is parallel to the second clamping surface 24 , ensuring that a stable clamping force can be formed between the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 24 .
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A rubber sleeve 7 is also sleeved on the first clamping surface 23, and a plurality of separation grooves 8 are provided on the second clamping surface 24. The rubber sleeve 7 can keep as close as possible to the metal to be plated. The rubber sleeve 7 can increase the friction between the first clamping surface 23 and the metal to be plated, thereby further preventing the metal to be plated from sliding or shaking during the electroplating process. At the same time, the rubber sleeve 7 can also play a certain protective role on the surface of the metal to be plated, preventing scratches or indentations caused by clamping. The design of the separation groove 8 divides the second clamping surface 24 into multiple small clamping surfaces, which can ensure that some small clamping surfaces are completely in contact with the metal to be plated when the metal to be plated is subjected to uneven force, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A mounting hole 9 is provided on the end of the first support rod 11 of the frame 1 away from the adjustment plate 12. The design of the mounting hole 9 enables the clamp to be more conveniently installed at the corresponding position of the electroplating equipment, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of the electroplating operation.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The fixture can be securely fixed to a designated location on the electroplating equipment using fasteners such as bolts and pins through the mounting holes 9. This eliminates the need to manually adjust the fixture position each time the electroplating operation is performed, saving time and labor costs. Furthermore, the fixed fixture provides more stable support, further ensuring the quality and effectiveness of electroplating.
[0043] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is: when in use, the metal to be plated is placed between the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 24, and the elastic force of the elastic structure 4 is used to rotate the clamping plate 22 relative to the fixed plate 21, thereby clamping the metal to be plated, and when clamping, the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 24 are parallel, ensuring the clamping area and ensuring the stability of the clamping.
[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
