Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating, specifically a cathode protection structure for electroplated parts. Background Technology
[0002] Electroplating is a technique that uses an electrolytic reaction to deposit metal ions onto the surface of a workpiece to form a metallic coating. Electroplating not only improves the appearance of a workpiece but also enhances its corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and electrical conductivity. Electroplating equipment is used to deposit a metallic coating onto metal or alloy materials through electrolytic deposition. This treatment is commonly used to improve the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetics of workpieces.
[0003] During the electroplating process, after the electroplating is completed, impurities generated during electroplating adhere to the surface of the cathode rod, thus affecting the working process of the cathode rod. Summary of the Invention

Threaded sleeves 2 are inlaid on the left and right side walls of the support frame 1. A one-way screw 3 is threadedly connected inside the threaded sleeve 2. An arc-shaped clamping plate 5 is rotatably installed at the inner end of the one-way screw 3. A mounting seat 6 is provided inside the arc-shaped clamping plate 5. A cathode rod connector 7 is fixedly installed inside the mounting seat 6. A cathode rod body 8 is provided at the bottom of the cathode rod connector 7. Fixing blocks 9 are provided at the four top corners of the support frame 1, and connecting frames 10 are provided at the four bottom corners of the support frame 1. A sliding frame 11 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting frame 10. A telescopic rod 13 is provided at the bottom of the fixing blocks 9, and a sliding frame 11 is provided at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 13. Support rods 14 are provided at the four corners of the inner wall of the sliding frame 11. A protective sleeve 15 is fixedly installed inside the support rod 14. The protective sleeve 15 is inserted into the outside of the cathode rod body 8. A friction pad 18 is provided on the top inner wall of the protective sleeve 15.
[0021] This invention utilizes a manually rotated one-way screw 3 to move inward, which in turn moves the arc-shaped clamping plate 5 inward to contact and clamp the mounting base 6. The arc-shaped clamping plate 5 clamps the mounting base 6 and the cathode rod connector 7. During operation, the protective sleeve 15 moves to the bottom of the cathode rod body 8 and separates. The operation of the cathode rod body 8 facilitates the electroplating process of the equipment. After electroplating is completed, the sliding frame 11 is driven by the telescopic rod 13 to move up and down on the connecting frame 10. The sliding frame 11, through the support rod 14, drives the protective sleeve 15 to move up and down on the cathode rod body 8. The friction pad 18 on the top of the protective sleeve 15 performs friction cleaning on the cathode rod body 8 and protects the cathode rod body 8 when it is not in operation.
[0022] See Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, a knob 4 is provided at the outer end of the one-way screw 3. By manually rotating the knob 4, the one-way screw 3 can be easily driven to rotate.
[0023] See Figure 1-3 In one embodiment of this utility model, a connecting bearing is provided at the connection between the one-way screw 3 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 5. The connection bearing enables the rotational connection between the arc-shaped clamping plate 5 and the one-way screw 3, which facilitates the stable clamping process between the arc-shaped clamping plate 5 and the mounting base 6.
[0024] See Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting frame 10 is provided with a guide rod 12 in a triangular shape. The bottom of the guide rod 12 is connected to the fixing block 9, and the guide rod 12 is slidably connected to the sliding frame 11. The sliding frame 11 is driven to move by the telescopic rod 13. The sliding frame 11 moves smoothly and safely under the guidance of the guide rod 12, thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the sliding frame 11.
[0025] See Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, a drain assembly is provided at the bottom of the protective sleeve 15. The drain assembly facilitates the discharge of electroplating solution inside the protective sleeve 15.
[0026] See Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the drain assembly includes a drain pipe 16 that is connected to the bottom of the protective sleeve 15. A control valve 17 is installed on the drain pipe 16. By opening the control valve 17, the drain pipe 16 can drain the electroplating solution inside the protective sleeve 15, thereby facilitating the protection of the cathode rod body 8.
[0027] Working Principle: This utility model allows manual rotation of knob 4, which drives one-way screw 3 to rotate inward within threaded sleeve 2. One-way screw 3 drives arc-shaped clamping plate 5 to connect with mounting base 6, achieving a stable connection between support frame 1 and mounting base 6. Telescopic rod 13 drives sliding frame 11 to move under the guidance of guide rod 12 and separate from cathode rod body 8. Cathode rod body 8, in conjunction with anode rod, performs electroplating on the electroplating material inside the electroplating tank. After electroplating, telescopic rod 13 drives sliding frame 11 to move upward under the guidance of guide rod 12. Sliding frame 11, through support rod 14, drives protective sleeve 15 to interlock with cathode rod body 8. Friction pad 18 on top of protective sleeve 15 performs friction cleaning on cathode rod body 8. By opening control valve 17 and drain pipe 16, electroplating solution inside protective sleeve 15 is discharged, thus achieving protection after cleaning of cathode rod body 8 and ensuring cathodic protection of electroplated parts.
