DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The exemplary embodiments and descriptions are only used to explain the present invention but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] Embodiment: A conductive mechanism of an electroplating wire copper brush and a copper sleeve as an integral part, comprising a base 1, a connecting seat 2 arranged on the base 1, a lifting mechanism 7 arranged on the connecting seat 2, an insulating lifting seat 14 arranged on the lifting mechanism 7, a conductive mounting seat 13 arranged on the insulating lifting seat 14, a conductive sleeve assembly arranged on the conductive mounting seat 13, and a copper brush conductive assembly 4. The conductive sleeve assembly and the copper brush conductive assembly 4 are arranged and distributed along the material strip running path. The conductive sleeve assembly comprises a first conductive sleeve group 8, a second conductive sleeve group 11, and a third conductive sleeve group 5 arranged on the conductive mounting seat 13. The first conductive sleeve group 8 and the third conductive sleeve group 5 are located on the same side of the material strip path, and the second conductive sleeve group 11 is located on the other side of the material strip path. The first conductive sleeve group 8, the second conductive sleeve group 11, and the third conductive sleeve group 5 are arranged in sequence along the material strip path. The first conductive sleeve group 8, the second conductive sleeve group 11 and the third conductive sleeve group 5 have the same structure. The first conductive sleeve group 8 includes a conductive shaft 80 vertically fixed on the conductive mounting seat 13, a lower copper sleeve 84 rotatably connected to the conductive shaft 80, an upper copper sleeve 82 rotatably connected to the conductive shaft 80, an avoidance spring 83 sleeved on the upper copper sleeve 82 and the lower copper sleeve 84, and a positioning sleeve 81 sliding along the conductive shaft 80. The positioning sleeve 81 is locked on the conductive shaft 80 by a locking screw. The top of the avoidance spring 83 abuts the upper copper sleeve 82, and the bottom of the avoidance spring 83 abuts the lower copper sleeve 84; the copper brush conductive assembly 4 is distributed on both sides of the material strip path, and the copper brush conductive assembly 4 includes a copper brush seat 42 and a conductive copper brush 40 arranged on the copper brush seat 42. The conductive copper brushes 40 on both sides of the material strip path are V-shaped and the openings are facing the incoming direction of the material strip.

[0019] The conductive sleeve assembly and the copper brush conductive assembly 4 are arranged in sequence along the material strip path. The conductive sleeve and the copper brush can be selected as needed. There is no need to replace the conductive device when switching different material strips, which is more convenient. The upper copper sleeve 82 and the lower copper sleeve 84 are separated by the avoidance spring 83, which makes it easy to adjust the spacing between the upper copper sleeve 82 and the lower copper sleeve 84 as needed, and is suitable for material strips of different widths.

[0020] See Figure 1 The conductive mounting seat 13 is provided with a conductive terminal 6 to facilitate the introduction of a larger current into the conductive mounting seat 13.

[0021] See Figure 1 The conductive mounting base 13 is provided with a mounting slot 9, in which a conductive strip 10 is placed. The conductive strip 10 is located below the strip path. The easily replaceable conductive strip 10 ensures that the strip always fits the conductive strip 10, providing a lower limit for the strip and preventing arcing.

[0022] See Figure 2 A conductive slider 15 is horizontally slidably connected to the conductive mounting seat 13. The second conductive sleeve 11 is mounted on the conductive slider 15. The sliding path of the conductive slider 15 is perpendicular to the material strip path. An elastic member 16 is connected between the conductive mounting seat 13 and the conductive slider 15, exerting an elastic force on the conductive slider 15 toward the material strip path. The elastic connection of the conductive slider 15 allows the material strip to be closely attached to the first conductive sleeve 8, the second conductive sleeve 11, and the third conductive sleeve 5, ensuring stable power supply to the material strip.

[0023] See Figure 1 In order to introduce and lead out the material strip, reduce the wear of the material strip and ensure the stability of the material strip. A material strip supporting wheel 3 is provided on each of the front and rear sides of the conductive mounting seat 13, and the top surface of the material strip supporting wheel 3 is flush with the top surface of the conductive strip 10.

[0024] See Figure 2 The lifting mechanism 7 includes a vertical guide rod 71 provided on the connecting base 2, a screw 70 rotatably connected to the connecting base 2, and a slidable engagement between the insulating lifting base 14 and the vertical guide rod 71. The screw 70 is threadedly engaged with the insulating lifting base 14. The screw 70 and the vertical guide rod 71 cooperate to facilitate adjustment of the lifting base height according to the height of the material strip, thereby improving the conductivity of the material strip.

[0025] See Figure 1 The copper brush holder 42 is provided with a connecting bolt 41, and the bottom of the connecting bolt 41 is threadedly connected to the conductive mounting seat 13. When the connecting bolt 41 is loosened, the angle of the copper brush holder 42 can be adjusted to facilitate better contact between the conductive copper brush 40 and the material strip.

[0026] See Figure 1 The connecting base 2 is bolted to the base 1. An adjustment screw 12 is threaded onto the connecting base 2, with the bottom of the adjustment screw 12 abutting against the top of the base 1. The connecting base 2 is provided with at least three non-collinear adjustment screws 12. The adjustment screws 12 cooperate to slightly tilt the conductive mounting base 13, creating a downward force component on the upper and lower copper sleeves 82 and 84 in the vertical direction, thereby improving the stability of the strip.
