Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating barrel technology, and in particular to an electroplating barrel. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is a crucial step in parts manufacturing. In current production processes, smaller parts are typically electroplated in batches. Specifically, a batch of parts is placed in an electroplating tank, and after electroplating, they are retrieved. To improve production efficiency and prevent wasting significant time retrieving parts after electroplating, a batch of parts is placed in an electroplating bucket. Existing electroplating buckets are generally octagonal umbrella-shaped, with the bucket walls consisting of a plastic mesh serving as a supporting frame and a filter screen (or screen) to prevent parts from drifting away from the plastic mesh. During electroplating, a batch of parts is placed in the electroplating bucket and immersed in the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank. The electroplating solution is then absorbed into the electroplating bucket through the filter screen, electroplating the parts in the bucket. After electroplating is complete, the electroplating bucket is removed from the electroplating solution, and the parts are sorted.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent disclosure for an electroplating tank (authorization announcement number CN206143343U). This patent features a lid on the opening, which prevents parts from floating out of the tank during electroplating. This avoids the need to collect parts outside the tank after electroplating, improving production efficiency. Although the lid incorporates a filter screen, this screen ensures sufficient contact between the parts below the lid and the electroplating solution, guaranteeing electroplating quality. Furthermore, it allows observation of the electroplating process from the top of the tank through the filter screen, thus improving electroplating quality and facilitating observation of the plating process.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has some drawbacks in actual use. The most obvious one is that when the density of the parts is greater than the density of the electroplating solution, the parts placed in the electroplating tank will come into contact with the inner wall of the electroplating tank during electroplating because their own weight is greater than the buoyancy. As a result, the side of the parts in contact with the electroplating tank cannot be fully electroplated, which reduces the electroplating quality of the parts. In addition, after electroplating, the parts in the electroplating tank need to be sorted by the staff. If the tank is deep, it will cause inconvenience in sorting. Utility Model Content

[0005] Given that existing technologies have the following problems: when the density of a part is greater than the density of the electroplating solution, the part placed in the electroplating tank will come into contact with the inner wall of the electroplating tank during electroplating because its own weight is greater than the buoyancy. As a result, the side of the part in contact with the electroplating tank cannot be fully electroplated, which reduces the electroplating quality of the part. Furthermore, after electroplating, the parts in the electroplating tank need to be sorted by workers. If the tank is deep, this will cause inconvenience in sorting. The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an electroplating tank.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an electroplating tank includes an electroplating tank body. Two support seats are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the electroplating tank body. A rotating roller is rotatably connected between the two support seats. Two support frames are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer side of the rotating roller. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the side of the two support frames that are close to each other. A U-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the side of the two rotating shafts that are close to each other. A filter screen is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped plate. Partitions are fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the U-shaped plate. The electroplating tank body is filled with electroplating liquid. A cleaning mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the electroplating tank body. A disassembly mechanism is provided at the top of the electroplating tank body.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the rollers drives multiple support frames to rotate, which in turn drives the parts loaded inside the U-shaped plate to rotate. The filter screen not only supports the parts but also allows the electroplating solution to pass through the screen for electroplating, preventing dead zones during the process. Furthermore, as the rollers rotate, the parts on the U-shaped plate are lifted sequentially, preventing them from sinking to the tank wall, thus facilitating the sorting of the electroplated parts by the workers.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning mechanism includes mounting plates fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the electroplating tank body. One of the mounting plates is rotatably connected to the electroplating tank body with a threaded rod, and the other mounting plate is fixedly connected to the electroplating tank body with a fixing rod. A hexagonal cleaning plate is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. The hexagonal cleaning plate is slidably connected to the fixing rod, and a brush is provided on the outer side of the hexagonal cleaning plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the threaded rod can drive the hexagonal cleaning plate to move up and down, thereby cleaning the electroplating shavings adhering to the inner wall of the electroplating tank. There is no need for manual bending over and holding a rag to clean, resulting in high cleaning efficiency.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the disassembly mechanism includes a lid located at the top of the electroplating tank body. The lid has three snap-fit ​​grooves inside. Three support plates are fixedly connected to the outside of the electroplating tank body. Each support plate has a snap-fit ​​block mounted on its top via a torsion spring. Each snap-fit ​​block engages with its corresponding snap-fit ​​groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the torsion spring can drive the locking block to engage with the corresponding locking groove, thereby fixing the bucket lid onto the electroplating bucket body.

[0012] In one preferred embodiment, a waterproof box is fixedly installed on the outer side of one of the support bases, and a second servo motor is fixedly installed inside the waterproof box. The output shaft of the second servo motor is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the rotating roller.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the output shaft of the second servo motor can drive the rotation of the roller.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a first servo motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the electroplating tank body, and the output shaft of the first servo motor extends into the interior of the electroplating tank body and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the output shaft of the first servo motor can drive the rotation of the threaded rod.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the lid is made of transparent glass, and a feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electroplating tank body, with a valve provided on the outside of the feeding pipe.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and using a transparent glass lid, it is possible for staff to inspect the electroplating process of the parts.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. In this utility model, the rotation of the rotating roller can drive multiple support frames to rotate, which in turn can drive the parts loaded inside the U-shaped plate to rotate. The filter screen not only supports the parts, but also allows the electroplating solution to pass through the filter screen to perform electroplating operations on the parts, avoiding dead corners in the electroplating process. The partition plate can prevent the parts from slipping off the U-shaped plate. Under the influence of the parts' own weight, the U-shaped plate is always perpendicular to the ground, making the parts more stable during the electroplating process. At the same time, as the rotating roller rotates, the parts on the U-shaped plate can be lifted one by one, preventing the parts from sinking to the barrel wall, thus facilitating the sorting of the electroplated parts by the workers.

[0020] 2. In this utility model, after multiple parts are electroplated, a lot of electroplating shavings will adhere to the inner wall of the electroplating tank body. If not treated in time, it will affect the electroplating effect of the next batch of parts. By rotating the threaded rod, the hexagonal cleaning plate can be driven to move up and down, thereby cleaning the electroplating shavings adhering to the inner wall of the electroplating tank body. There is no need for manual bending over and holding a rag to clean, which is highly efficient and convenient.

[0021] 3. In this utility model, the torsion spring can drive the locking block to engage with the corresponding locking groove, thereby fixing the bucket cover on the electroplating bucket body. The detachable design facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the components inside the electroplating bucket body. Attached Figure Description

The partition prevents the parts from slipping off the U-shaped plate 14, and the U-shaped plate 14 remains perpendicular to the ground under the influence of the parts' own weight, making the parts more stable during the electroplating process. At the same time, as the roller 7 rotates, the parts on the U-shaped plate 14 are lifted one by one, preventing the parts from sinking to the barrel wall, thus facilitating the sorting of the electroplated parts by the staff.

The hexagonal cleaning plate 8 is slidably connected to the fixing rod 15, and a brush is provided on the outer side of the hexagonal cleaning plate 8.

[0031] After multiple parts are electroplated, a lot of electroplating shavings will adhere to the inner wall of the electroplating tank body 1. If not treated in time, it will affect the electroplating effect of the next batch of parts. By rotating the threaded rod 9, the hexagonal cleaning plate 8 can be moved up and down, thereby cleaning the electroplating shavings adhering to the inner wall of the electroplating tank body 1. There is no need for manual bending over and holding a rag to clean, which is highly efficient and convenient.

The transparent glass lid 2 allows the staff to check the electroplating status of the parts.

[0039] Working principle: First, the second servo motor 17 is started, which drives the rotating roller 7 to rotate. This drives multiple support frames 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the parts loaded inside the U-shaped plate 14 to rotate. The filter screen 18 not only supports the parts, but also allows the electroplating solution to pass through the filter screen 18 to electroplat the parts, avoiding dead corners during the electroplating process. The partition prevents the parts from slipping off the U-shaped plate 14. Under the influence of the parts' own weight, the U-shaped plate 14 remains perpendicular to the ground, making the parts more stable during the electroplating process. At the same time, as the rotating roller 7 rotates, the parts on the U-shaped plate 14 are lifted one by one, preventing the parts from sinking to the barrel wall, thus facilitating the sorting of the electroplated parts by the staff.

[0040] After multiple parts are electroplated, a lot of electroplating shavings will adhere to the inner wall of the electroplating tank body 1. If not treated in time, it will affect the electroplating effect of the next batch of parts. By rotating the threaded rod 9, the hexagonal cleaning plate 8 can be moved up and down, thereby cleaning the electroplating shavings adhering to the inner wall of the electroplating tank body 1. There is no need for manual bending over and holding a rag to clean, which is highly efficient and convenient.
