Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electroplating, in particular to a high-efficiency electroplating cylinder. Background Art

[0002] Electroplating tank, also known as electroplating tank, is a process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on certain metal surfaces using the principle of electrolysis. It is a process of using electrolysis to adhere a layer of metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts to prevent metal oxidation, improve wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance and enhance aesthetics.

[0003] Among them, research has found that the shortcomings of the existing device are as follows: electroplating materials need to be added to the electroplating solution according to different needs. These materials are relatively expensive. When the electroplating metal is silver, the cost of the electroplating solution is hundreds of thousands. After the workpiece is electroplated, a lot of electroplating liquid remains on the workpiece. In order to reduce costs, it is generally necessary to wait for the electroplating liquid to fall by gravity. This collection method takes a long time. Sometimes, the staff will assist in shaking it off. Due to the heavy weight of the parts rack, the effect is average. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a basic device on this basis to shake off the electroplating liquid on the parts and collect it to achieve the purpose of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] 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.

[0022] In this utility model:

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 , an efficient electroplating cylinder, comprising an electroplating tank 1, on which a guide mechanism for preventing the electroplating solution from splashing is provided;

[0024] The diversion mechanism includes side panels 101 and splash guards 102. The side panels 101 are integrated on the top of the four sides of the electroplating tank 1. The inner surfaces of the side panels 101 are movably connected to the splash guards 102 through slide rails, and bolts are provided through the inside of the side panels 101 to act on the splash guards 102. Adjacent splash guards 102 are connected by elastic surfaces. The splash guards 102 are set at a 45° angle to the horizontal plane of the electroplating tank 1. The splash guards 102 can be pulled outward by using the slide rails. At this time, the opening area of ​​the electroplating tank 1 can be increased in disguise, and the electroplating liquid can be collected to avoid waste and save costs.

[0025] The electroplating tank 1 has an electric turntable 2 outside, a lifter 3 fixedly mounted on the rotating disk of the electric turntable 2, linear motors 4 mounted on both sides of the lifter 3 via sliders 301, a protective cover 5 mounted on the bottom of the linear motor 4 via linear sliders 401, and a plating solution saving mechanism installed inside the protective cover 5 for shaking off the plating solution;

[0026] The electroplating liquid saving mechanism includes a driving motor 501, an output shaft 502, an eccentric wheel 5021, an air nozzle 6, a connecting rod 601, a hook 7, a support plate 701, a protruding block 7011, a movable groove 702, and a top wheel 8. The driving motor 501 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the protective cover 5, and the driving motor 501 is equipped with an output shaft 502. The eccentric wheel 5021 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the output shaft 502. The end of the output shaft 502 is installed with a supporting plate 701 through the movable groove 702. Protruding blocks 7011 are installed on both sides of the supporting plate 701. The bottom of the supporting plate 701 is fixedly installed with a hook 7; the hook 7 can be used to hang the parts rack, and the driving motor 501 can rotate the hook 7, so that the electroplating liquid remaining on the parts is removed by centrifugal force and the electroplating liquid is collected.

[0027] The protective cover 5 is provided with a plurality of air spray heads 6 which are rotatably mounted on the outer ring of the driving motor 501. The connecting rod 601 is rotatably connected to the air spray heads 6. The connecting rod 601 is rotatably connected to the adjacent air spray heads 6. The rearmost air spray head 6 is connected to the protective cover 5 by a spring. The eccentric blocks of the eccentric wheel 5021 are symmetrically arranged and are in active contact with the nearest air spray head 6. When the driving motor 501 drives the output shaft 502 to rotate, the eccentric wheel 5021 also rotates. At this time, the raised portion of the eccentric wheel 5021 contacts the air spray head 6. Under the linkage action of the connecting rod 601, all the air spray heads 6 rotate and move simultaneously. At this time, the jet angle of the air spray head 6 changes, blowing off the electroplating liquid on the parts. When the raised portion of the eccentric wheel 5021 leaves the air spray head 6, the spring pushes the air spray head 6 to return to its original position synchronously.

[0028] The bottom of the protective cover 5 is located above the support plate 701 and is fixedly installed with a top wheel 8. The top wheel 8 acts on the raised block 7011, and the raised block 7011 is symmetrically arranged with the center. The movable groove 702 and the end of the output shaft 502 are slidingly arranged and are anti-slip. At the same time, a tension spring is arranged on the end of the movable groove 702 and the output shaft 502. When the output shaft 502 rotates, the raised block 7011 also rotates the axis. At this time, the raised block 7011 contacts the top wheel 8, which can cause the movable groove 702 to move downward, thereby producing a shaking effect, shaking off the electroplating liquid attached to the parts, and the raised block 7011 leaves the top wheel 8, and the tension spring retracts the support plate 701.

[0029] The air nozzle 6 is connected to an external air pump, and at the same time, drives the electric turntable 2, the elevator 3, and the linear motor 4 to connect to the external air pump, which is connected to the external power supply through the control panel.

[0030] Working principle: First, the splash guard 102 can be pulled outward using the slide rail. At this time, the opening area of ​​the electroplating tank 1 can be increased in disguise, and the electroplating liquid can be collected to avoid waste. Then, the parts rack is hung on the hook 7, and the electric turntable 2, the elevator 3, and the linear motor 4 are driven to rotate, lift, and fall, so that the parts rack enters the electroplating tank 1 for electroplating. Then, after the electroplating is completed, the parts rack is raised. At this time, when the driving motor 501 drives the output shaft 502 to rotate, the eccentric wheel 5021 will also rotate. At this time, the raised part of the eccentric wheel 5021 contacts the air nozzle 6, and the linkage action of the connecting rod 601 is realized. When the eccentric wheel 5021 is used, all the air nozzles 6 will rotate and move at the same time. At this time, the jet angle of the air nozzle 6 will change, and the plating liquid on the parts will be blown off. When the raised part of the eccentric wheel 5021 leaves the air nozzle 6, the spring pushes the air nozzle 6 to return to its original position synchronously. At the same time, when the output shaft 502 rotates, the raised block 7011 also rotates along the axis. At this time, the raised block 7011 contacts the top wheel 8, which can move the movable groove 702 downward, thereby generating a shaking effect, and the driving motor 501 can rotate the hook 7, thereby causing the residual plating liquid on the parts to be removed by centrifugal force and collected, thereby achieving the purpose of saving costs.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
