[0025] 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.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] Example 1: Overall structural design

[0028] The device comprises an equipment frame (1), an electroplating tank (2), a hanging rod (3) and a sling (4). The electroplating tank (2) is provided with an outer wall (21) and an inner wall (22) to form an annular tank body. The hanging rod (3) rotates in the tank body through a driving device and fixes the workpiece through the sling (4) to achieve synchronous electroplating of the inner and outer surfaces.

[0029] Example 2: Application of automatic control system

[0030] In this embodiment, the automatic control system (6) can accurately control the rotation speed of the suspension rod (3) and the lifting and lowering of the lifting device (5), and can preset parameters such as electroplating time and temperature to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the electroplating process.

[0031] Example 3: Temperature and Filtration System

[0032] In this embodiment, a plating solution circulation filtration system (10) is provided in the plating tank (2), comprising a filter (101), a circulation pump (102) and a piping system (103), for continuously filtering the plating solution during the electroplating process, ensuring the purity of the plating solution, and maintaining a stable electrolyte concentration during the electroplating process.

[0033] The filter (101) is used to remove impurities and particulate matter from the electroplating solution to ensure the purity of the electroplating solution. The filter uses multiple layers of filter material to efficiently intercept and remove impurities of different particle sizes. The circulation pump (102) is responsible for driving the electroplating solution to circulate in the electroplating tank. The circulation pump is connected to the liquid outlet of the electroplating tank and transports the electroplating solution to the filter (101) through a pipeline for filtration, and then returns the filtered electroplating solution to the electroplating tank. The pipeline system (103) connects the circulation pump, the filter and the electroplating tank to transport the electroplating solution to ensure continuous circulation and stable flow of the electroplating solution.

[0034] During the electroplating process, the plating solution enters the circulation pump (102) through the outlet at the bottom of the electroplating tank and is then transported to the filter (101). The multiple layers of filter material inside the filter gradually filter out impurities and particulate matter in the plating solution, ensuring that the plating solution returned to the electroplating tank maintains a high degree of purity. The filtered plating solution flows back to the electroplating tank through the piping system (103) and participates in the electroplating process again.

[0035] In order to maintain the temperature of the electroplating solution stable, the electroplating tank is also equipped with a temperature sensor (11) and a heating device (12). These components work in conjunction with the electroplating solution circulation and filtration system (10) to ensure the efficiency and stability of the entire electroplating process.

[0036] The electroplating solution circulation filtration system (10) is particularly suitable for long-term continuous electroplating processes, because various impurities may be generated or introduced into the electroplating solution during use. If these impurities are not filtered out in time, they will directly affect the quality of the electroplated layer. Through the real-time filtration of the system, impurities can be effectively removed to ensure the uniformity and quality of the electroplated layer.

[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention.
