Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the utility model relate to a positioning device, and in particular to a positioning assembly, a positioning mechanism and a chain electroplating device for an anode material. Background Art

[0002] Chains, as a commonly used power transmission component or a conventional connecting component, have been widely used in various fields. In some fields, in order to enhance the mechanical properties, wear resistance and / or rust resistance of the chain, it is necessary to electroplate the chain, such as chrome plating, nickel plating, copper plating, zinc plating, etc.

[0003] When electroplating a chain, the chain needs to be immersed in a plating tank containing a plating solution, and the portion of the chain to be plated is connected to the cathode, while the plating material acts as the anode. During the electroplating process, the metal ions of the anode material are reduced to metal material through an electrode reaction under the action of an external electric field and transferred to the portion of the chain to be plated, thereby forming a metal deposition process in the portion of the chain to be plated. However, the inventors have found that during electroplating, due to the long length of the chain, the length of the anode material also needs to be appropriately lengthened to ensure uniformity of the portion to be plated of each annular structural member of the chain during electroplating, which places certain requirements on the positioning of the anode material. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the embodiment of the present utility model is to design a positioning component, a positioning mechanism and a chain electroplating device for an anode material, which can position the anode material and ensure the uniformity of the parts to be electroplated of each annular structure of the chain during electroplating, thereby improving the yield rate of the chain during electroplating.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a positioning assembly for an anode material, the positioning assembly comprising:

[0006] A hanging member; hung on the positioning fixture; the hanging member has a head end and a tail end away from the head end; wherein the hanging member has at least one bent portion from the head end to the tail end, so that the head end and the tail end are opposite to each other;

[0007] At least one positioning member is arranged on the hanging member; when there are multiple positioning members, each positioning member is arranged in sequence along the direction from the head end to the tail end, and each positioning member is used to fix the anode material so that the fixed anode material is positioned at a specified position of the positioning tool.

[0008] In addition, an embodiment of the present utility model further provides a positioning mechanism for an anode material, comprising:

[0009] Several positioning components as described above are arranged in sequence along a preset straight line direction;

[0010] Among them, the number of the positioning parts of each positioning component is the same and they are uniquely arranged. The positioning parts of any one of the positioning components and the uniquely corresponding positioning parts of the remaining positioning components jointly fix the same anode material, so that the anode material is positioned at the specified position of the positioning tool along the preset straight line direction.

[0011] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a chain electroplating device, comprising:

[0012] Positioning tooling; clamping and fixing the annular structural parts of the chain along the preset straight line direction;

[0013] The positioning mechanism as described above; wherein each hanging member of each positioning assembly is hung on the positioning fixture and positions at least one anode material along a preset straight line;

[0014] A plurality of cathodes; the number of the cathodes is the same as the number of the annular structural members of the chain, and they are uniquely arranged, and each of the cathodes is passed through the positioning fixture and connected to the uniquely corresponding annular structural member.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages: since the positioning component includes: a hanging part and at least one positioning part, and the hanging part can be hung on the positioning tooling, the positioning component can be fixed by the positioning tooling itself. In addition, each positioning part is arranged on the hanging part. At the same time, each positioning part can position multiple anode materials at a specified position of the positioning tooling, thereby ensuring that when the chain is electroplated, the metal material reduced from the anode material by electrode reaction can be evenly distributed in the parts of the chain's annular structures to be electroplated, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the electroplating of each annular structure and improving the yield of the chain during electroplating.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clearly apparent, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that many technical details are provided in the embodiments of the present invention to help readers better understand the present application. However, even without these technical details and the various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in the present application can still be implemented.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] The first embodiment of the present invention relates to a positioning assembly for an anode material, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the positioning assembly 1 includes: a hanging member 11, at least one positioning member 12. Figure 3 As shown, the hanging member 11 is hung on the positioning tool 30. In addition, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hanging member has a head end 111 and a tail end 112 away from the head end 111 , and the hanging member 11 has at least one bent portion 113 from the head end 111 to the tail end 112 , so that the head end 111 and the tail end 112 are opposite to each other.

[0023] In addition, in other embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each positioning member 12 is provided on the hanging member 11. Furthermore, when there are multiple positioning members 12, each positioning member 12 is sequentially provided along the direction from the head end 111 to the tail end 112, and each positioning member is used to fix the anode material 2 so that the fixed anode material 2 is positioned at a designated position of the positioning tool 30.

[0024] It is not difficult to see from the above content that since the positioning component 1 includes: a hanging part 11 and at least one positioning part 12, and the hanging part 11 can be hung on the positioning tooling 30, the positioning component 1 can be fixed by the positioning tooling 30 itself. In addition, each positioning part 12 is arranged on the hanging part 11. At the same time, each positioning part 12 can position multiple anode materials 2 at a specified position of the positioning tooling 30, thereby ensuring that when the chain is electroplated, the metal material reduced by the electrode reaction of the anode material 2 can be evenly distributed in the parts of the chain's annular structures to be electroplated, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the electroplating of each annular structure and improving the yield rate of the chain during electroplating.

[0025] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, each positioning member 12 is a clamping ring, and each clamping ring is used to be sleeved on the anode material 2, so that each clamping ring can be passed through the anode material 2, so that each clamping ring can be clamped to different anode materials 2. In addition, in other embodiments, in order to meet different usage scenarios, each clamping ring can be an independent component, and each clamping ring can be detachably connected to the hanging member 11. For example, each clamping ring can be connected to the hanging member 11 by a snap connection or a bolt connection. Or, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each clamp ring can also be integrally formed with the hanger 11 . For example, each clamp ring and the hanger 11 can be integrally stamped or injection molded.

[0026] Furthermore, it is worth noting that when each clamping ring is integrally formed with the hanger 11, as an alternative, in other embodiments, each clamping ring can also be formed by partially bending the hanger 11. For example, the formation of each clamping ring of the hanger 11 can be that the head end 111 and the tail end 112 of the hanger 11 can first bend and extend in the direction of approaching each other, and then bend and extend in the direction of moving away from each other, so that a clamping ring can be formed on the hanger 11.

[0027] In addition, it is worth mentioning that in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are several bending parts 113, and the bending parts 113 at least include: a first side bending part 113A, a second side bending part 113B and a top bending part 113C. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first side bending portion 113A includes: a plurality of first bending segments 113A1 formed by bending several times from the head end 111 toward the top direction of the positioning tool 30. Secondly, the second side bending portion 113B includes: a plurality of second bending segments 113B1 formed by bending several times from the tail end 112 toward the top direction of the positioning tool 30. Finally, the top bending portion 113C is respectively connected to the end of the first side bending portion 113A away from the head end 111 and the end of the second side bending portion 113B away from the tail end 112. Through the multiple first bending segments 113A1 of the first side bending portion 113A and the multiple second bending segments 113B1 of the second side bending portion 113B, the head end 111 and the tail end 112 of the hanger 11 can be opposite to each other, and, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in other embodiments, combined with Figure 2As shown, the first side bend 113A, the second side bend 113B and the top bend 113C are further provided with at least one positioning member 12, so that the positioning assembly 1 can realize the positioning of multiple anode materials 2 around the circumference of the positioning tool 30, thereby further ensuring the uniformity of electroplating of the parts to be electroplated of each annular structure of the chain. For example, since the annular structures of the chain are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the chain, in order to be able to electroplate the inner side surfaces of each annular structure, it is necessary to ensure that each annular structure is separated from each other. Therefore, by clamping and fixing the annular structures with each clamping assembly 301, each two adjacent annular structures of the chain can be separated from each other and do not contact each other, so that each annular structure can be separated from each other, so that the metal material reduced to by each anode material 2 through the electrode reaction can be evenly distributed on the parts to be electroplated of each annular structure.

[0028] In addition, as a preferred solution, in other embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first side bending portion 113A and the second side bending portion 113B are also clamped to fix the positioning tool 30. By clamping the first side bending portion 113A and the second side bending portion 113B with the positioning tool 30 respectively, the positioning component 1 can stably realize the positioning of each anode material 2, avoiding the movement of the anode material 2 of each annular structure of the chain during electroplating, thereby further ensuring the uniformity of the parts to be electroplated of each annular structure of the chain during electroplating.

[0029] Finally, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the hanger 11 and the positioning members 12 are all insulating members, so that when the anode material 2 is reduced to a metal material through electrode reaction, the metal material will not be transferred toward the positioning assembly composed of the hanger 11 and the positioning members 12, thereby further improving the uniformity of the to-be-plated parts of the various annular structural members of the chain during electroplating.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] The second embodiment of the present invention relates to a positioning mechanism for an anode material, such as Figure 1 As shown, the positioning mechanism includes: a plurality of positioning components 1 as described in the first embodiment, and, in combination with Figure 2 As shown, each positioning component 1 is arranged in sequence along a preset straight line direction.

[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the number of positioning parts 12 of each positioning component 1 is the same and they are uniquely set, and the positioning parts 12 of any positioning component 1 and the positioning parts 12 of the other positioning components 1 uniquely correspond to each other, and together fix the same anode material 2, so that the anode material 2 is positioned at the specified position of the positioning tool 30 along the preset straight line direction.

[0033] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple anode materials 2, and each anode material 2 is a long columnar structure, and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each anode material 2 can be arranged around the circumference of the positioning tool 30, and each hanger 11 is provided with a positioning member 12 corresponding to each anode material 2, which can be passed through by the anode material 2. Therefore, the anode material 2 can be positioned by multiple positioning members 12, so that the anode material 2 can be fixed at the specified position of the tool.

[0034] It is not difficult to see from the above content that since the positioning component 1 includes: a hanging part 11 and at least one positioning part 12, and the hanging part 11 can be hung on the positioning tooling 30, the positioning component 1 can be fixed by the positioning tooling 30 itself. In addition, each positioning part 12 is arranged on the hanging part 11. At the same time, each positioning part 12 can position multiple anode materials 2 at a specified position of the positioning tooling 30, thereby ensuring that when the chain is electroplated, the metal material reduced by the electrode reaction of the anode material 2 can be evenly distributed in the parts of the chain's annular structures to be electroplated, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the electroplating of each annular structure and improving the yield rate of the chain during electroplating.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] The third embodiment of the present invention relates to a chain electroplating device, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the chain electroplating device includes: a positioning tool 30, a positioning mechanism as described in the second embodiment, and a plurality of cathodes 20.

[0037] Among them, combined Figure 3 As shown, the positioning fixture 30 is clamped along the preset straight line direction to fix the annular structural members of the chain. Secondly, in the positioning mechanism, each hanging member 11 of each positioning assembly 1 is hung on the positioning fixture 30, and, in combination with Figure 4 As shown, each positioning assembly 1 positions at least one anode material 2 along a preset straight line.

[0038] Additionally, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the number of cathodes 20 is the same as the number of the annular structural members of the chain, and they are uniquely arranged. Each cathode 20 is passed through the positioning fixture 30 and connected to the unique corresponding annular structural member.

[0039] It is not difficult to see from the above content that since the positioning component 1 includes: a hanging part 11 and at least one positioning part 12, and the hanging part 11 can be hung on the positioning tooling 30, the positioning component 1 can be fixed by the positioning tooling 30 itself. In addition, each positioning part 12 is arranged on the hanging part 11. At the same time, each positioning part 12 can position multiple anode materials 2 at a specified position of the positioning tooling 30, thereby ensuring that when the chain is electroplated, the metal material reduced by the electrode reaction of the anode material 2 can be evenly distributed in the parts of the chain's annular structures to be electroplated, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the electroplating of each annular structure and improving the yield rate of the chain during electroplating.

[0040] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning tool 30 includes: a plurality of clamping components 301, and the number of the clamping components 301 is the same as the number of the annular structural parts of the chain, and is uniquely corresponding. Each clamping component 301 is clamped to the unique corresponding annular structural part 10 along a preset straight line direction. Among them, each two adjacent clamping components 301 are arranged to cross each other and vertically. It is not difficult to see from this that since each two adjacent clamping components 301 are arranged to cross each other and vertically, it is possible to ensure that each annular structural part 10 clamped and fixed by each clamping component 301 can be separated from each other in directions perpendicular to each other, so that each two adjacent annular structural parts of the chain will not contact each other, thereby ensuring the uniformity of electroplating of the parts to be electroplated of each annular structural part of the chain.

[0041] Furthermore, it is noteworthy that each of the clamping assemblies 301 includes: a first clamping member 3011, a second clamping member 3012, and the first clamping member 3011 and the second clamping member 3012 respectively clamp and fix the annular structure along the length direction of the annular structure. For example, the first clamping member 3011 and the second clamping member 3012 can be a semi-enclosed cover structure, so that after the first clamping member 3011 and the second clamping member 3012 complete the clamping of the annular structure, the inner side of the annular structure can be exposed to the outside, while the outer surface of the annular structure can be directly covered by the first clamping member 3011 and the second clamping member 3012, so that when the anode material 2 is reduced to a metal material through an electrode reaction, the metal material can only be transferred to the inner side of the annular structure, and will not be transferred to the outer surface of the annular structure, thereby enabling electroplating of the inner side of each annular structure of the chain.

[0042] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above embodiments are specific implementations of the present invention, and that in actual applications, various changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
