Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of horizontal electroplating production devices, in particular to a horizontal continuous electroplating production device. Background Art

[0002] Electroplating is the process of applying a thin layer of another metal or alloy to a metal surface using electrolysis. This process involves depositing a thin layer of metal onto the surface of a metal or other material, thereby preventing oxidation (such as rust), improving wear resistance, electrical conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (such as copper sulfate), and enhancing aesthetics. Many coins also have an electroplated coating.

[0003] Electroplating can be categorized as either horizontal or vertical. The key difference between these two processes lies in the workpiece placement and conveyor methods. In horizontal electroplating, the workpiece is placed horizontally and moved horizontally by a conveyor. In vertical electroplating, the workpiece is placed vertically and moved horizontally by a conveyor system.

[0004] Horizontal electroplating typically uses conductive rollers positioned above the plating tank. These rollers are in contact with the plating solution to transmit current and transport the workpiece. These rollers not only serve as cathodes for plating but also transport the workpiece. Long-term use can cause wear and reaction on the conductive rollers. Since the parameters of the electroplating process are typically fixed, this can gradually affect the plating effect on the workpiece, thereby impacting production quality. To address this issue, we propose a horizontal continuous electroplating production device. Utility Model Content

[0044] The C-shaped guide bar 4 is installed on the lower side of the transmission track 2. A guide block 13 is slidably provided inside the C-shaped guide bar 4. The guide block 13 is detachably connected to the transmission end of the transmission track 2 and the movable plate 10. The transmission track 2 automatically moves with the movable plate 10. The movable plate 10 moves with the mounting plate 11 through the connecting plate 3, thereby realizing automatic movement of the workpiece and improving the automation level of the device.

After the workpiece enters the electroplating solution, the electric push rod B 91 will bring the contact block 93 into contact with the joint block 6. Then the contact block 93 is energized, and the workpiece is energized through the joint block 6. Then, the workpiece is electroplated in cooperation with the electroplating furnace 1. In traditional horizontal electroplating, conductive rollers are used for conduction and guidance. During use, the conductive rollers will wear and react. However, the contact block 93 and the joint block 6 do not participate in direct conduction and guidance, which increases the service life.
