Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electroplating silver plating gantry type silver plating automatic line equipment, and particularly relates to a saddle-shaped detachable electroplating tooling for improving production capacity. Background Art
[0002] Gantry-type automatic silver plating lines, a leader in the modern electroplating industry, offer significant advantages in significantly improving the labor-intensive and environmentally harsh nature of traditional electroplating operations. Through highly automated operations, they significantly reduce occupational health risks, such as chemical exposure and excessive physical exertion, while significantly improving production efficiency and product quality. Consequently, these lines are highly sought after by companies. In this context, ensuring equipment reliability and stability is crucial for ensuring sustained and efficient production.
[0003] To improve the processing capacity on the limited length of the flying bar (i.e. the hanger crossbar on the conveyor system), it is necessary to optimize the design and practice from multiple dimensions:
[0004] First, the hanger structure needs to be designed or improved to make it more compact and more efficient in utilizing the space within the flybar. By adopting a multi-layer or staggered hanger design, the number of parts processed in a single run can be significantly increased without increasing the length of the flybar. At the same time, the hanger must be easy to install and remove, making it convenient for routine maintenance and replacement.
[0005] Because the electroplating process is extremely sensitive to current distribution, racks must possess excellent conductivity to ensure even current distribution across each part to be plated, avoiding localized over- or underplating. Using highly conductive materials (such as pure copper or gold-plated copper) to construct racks and optimizing their contact surface design to reduce resistance and heat buildup is an effective way to improve conductivity.
[0006] Given that electroplating environments often involve corrosive media such as strong acids and alkalis, the corrosion resistance of the hangers and flybars is crucial. Using corrosion-resistant materials (such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, or metals with special corrosion protection treatments) to manufacture key components and applying corrosion-resistant coatings to the surfaces can significantly reduce corrosion rates and extend service life. Furthermore, regular inspection and replacement of damaged components is essential to maintaining equipment stability.
[0007] In recent years, with the rapid development of the electroplating industry and increasingly fierce market competition, companies have become increasingly pressing in their need to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize resource utilization. However, the widely used Feiba poles, while designed and manufactured to strict standards and marked with an effective length at the factory, have gradually exposed their limitations in actual use, both in terms of improving production efficiency and in terms of process tank space utilization.
[0008] Specifically, the effective length of the Feiba pole is fixed at the factory, which to some extent limits its flexibility and scalability in electroplating production lines. In practice, companies often seek to maximize the number of parts to be plated without increasing the length or complexity of the production line to improve production efficiency. However, the existing Feiba pole requires dedicated electroplating tooling to connect the parts to the pole. Each pole requires a corresponding number of silver plating tools to be installed and suspended vertically on the Feiba pole. Once the pole is fully loaded with electroplating tools, the horizontal space becomes unusable. For example, if a process tank is 1 meter long and 1.2 meters wide, the combined electroplating tooling and Feiba pole is 40 cm wide, leaving the remaining 80 cm unusable. Because the effective length of the Feiba pole is fixed and the number of parts it can accommodate is also limited, increasing the number of poles to be plated presents significant challenges. Utility Model Content
[0009] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the problem of low utilization rate of process tanks due to the certain length of the flybar pole during the operation of the silver electroplating automatic line in the prior art, and to provide a saddle-shaped detachable electroplating tooling for improving production capacity, which can solve the problem of low utilization rate of process tanks due to the certain length of the flybar pole during the operation of the silver electroplating automatic line. The new connection method between the flybar pole and the saddle-shaped tooling provides a guarantee for improving electroplating output.
[0010] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0011] A saddle-shaped detachable electroplating tool for improving production capacity comprises a saddle-shaped tool and a flying bar. The saddle-shaped tool comprises two vertical plates, and two flying bar poles are clamped in parallel on the two vertical plates.
[0012] The area of the saddle-shaped tooling is larger than the area of the flying bar.
[0013] The thickness of the flying bar is greater than the thickness of the saddle-shaped tooling.
[0014] The saddle-shaped tooling includes a U-shaped plate, a vertical plate is arranged at the lower end of the U-shaped plate, and the U-shaped plate and the vertical plate are fixed by an inclined plate.
[0015] The vertical plate is provided with a through hole.
[0016] Bolts are arranged on the through hole to fix the saddle-shaped tooling and the flying bar.
[0017] The flying bar is fitted with the vertical plate of the saddle-shaped tooling.
[0018] The first end face of the flying bar is fitted with the first end face of the saddle-shaped tooling, and the second end face of the flying bar is fitted with the second end face of the saddle-shaped tooling.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] The utility model provides a saddle-shaped detachable electroplating tool for improving production capacity, including a saddle-shaped tool and a flying pole bar. The saddle-shaped tool includes two vertical plates, and the two flying pole bars are clamped in parallel on the two vertical plates. By arranging a tool with a saddle-shaped card structure on the flying pole bar, the saddle-shaped tool can be installed in several ways according to the length of the flying pole bar.

The new connection method between the flying pole bar and the saddle-shaped tool provides a guarantee for improving the electroplating output.
[0023] Furthermore, the contact area of the saddle-shaped tooling clamped on the Feiba pole is larger than the contact area of the electroplating tooling directly hung on the Feiba pole. The thickness of the Feiba pole is greater than the thickness of the saddle-shaped tooling, ensuring good conductivity of the electroplating.
[0024] Furthermore, the saddle-shaped tooling is made of brass / copper material, which can avoid the problem of high resistance caused by direct electrical contact between different materials.
[0025] Furthermore, a through hole structure is provided at the bottom of the saddle-shaped tooling to improve the stability of the saddle-shaped tooling on the flying bar. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
