Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplated parts drying technology, and in particular to an automatic drying device for the surface of electroplated parts. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is a process that uses the principle of electrolysis to deposit a layer of metal onto a conductive material. Electroplating refers to a surface finishing method in which the substrate metal is used as the cathode in a salt solution containing the metal to be plated. Through electrolysis, the cations of the pre-plated metal in the plating solution are deposited on the surface of the substrate metal, forming a coating.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the drying of electroplated parts is usually carried out in a drying oven, where internal components drive the electroplated parts to rotate to achieve uniform heating and drying. However, the contact surface between the electroplated parts and the internal components is always covered, which does not achieve uniform heating and may also trap moisture inside, affecting the drying of the electroplated parts. Therefore, we propose an automatic surface drying device for electroplated parts. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an automatic drying device for the surface of electroplated parts, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] The present invention provides the following solution to the above-mentioned technical problems: an automatic drying device for electroplated parts, comprising a drying chamber, wherein multiple fixed frames are arranged at equal intervals vertically within the drying chamber, and adjacent fixed frames are fixedly connected by connecting rods. The lowermost fixed frame is connected to a lifting control mechanism. Multiple support rollers arranged at equal intervals are rotatably mounted horizontally within the fixed frames, and the shafts of the support rollers pass through the fixed frames. A first gear is fixedly mounted at the end of the shaft of the support roller. Adjacent first gears are meshed with a second gear rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the fixed frame. A third gear meshing with the first gear is rotatably mounted on the edge of the fixed frame, and the third gear is connected to a power mechanism. Multiple heating elements are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the drying chamber.

[0006] Preferably, the lifting control mechanism includes an electric push rod that is vertically fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the drying chamber. The free end of the electric push rod moves through the lower wall of the drying chamber. A support plate is fixedly installed on the free end of the electric push rod, and the support plate is fixedly connected to the bottommost fixed frame.

[0007] Preferably, the power mechanism includes a motor that is horizontally fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drying chamber, and a screw that rotates through the drying chamber is horizontally fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor. A connecting plate is installed on the inner wall of the drying chamber through a sliding mechanism. Multiple racks are horizontally fixedly installed on the connecting plate, and the multiple racks are respectively meshed with corresponding third gears. The screw thread passes through the connecting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the sliding mechanism includes a sliding groove laterally formed on the inner wall of the drying oven, and the connecting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the support plate is provided with ventilation holes evenly distributed, and the support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drying oven by multiple vertically arranged telescopic rods.

[0010] Preferably, a fan is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber, and an air outlet slot is provided at the top of the drying chamber.

[0011] Preferably, a cover is installed on the upper part of the drying oven in a horizontal rotational manner, and a handle is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the cover.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. By setting a fixed frame, multiple support rollers with equal spacing are set inside the inner fixed frame. Electroplated parts can be placed on the support rollers. Driven by a motor and screw and other components, the support rollers can rotate intermittently in the forward and reverse directions, which can drive the electroplated parts to reciprocate continuously within the fixed frame. This avoids the lower surface of the electroplated parts being covered all the time, allowing the electroplated parts to be heated, improving the drying speed of the electroplated parts, and making the drying effect more ideal.

[0014] 2. By setting multiple fixed frames, more electroplated parts can be placed, and the fixed frames can be indirectly pushed to move outside the drying chamber using electric push rods, making the placement and removal of electroplated parts faster and more convenient, and effectively preventing operators from being burned by the drying chamber walls, making it safe and practical.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The principles and features of this utility model are described below. The examples given are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. The utility model is described more specifically in the following paragraphs by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic drying device for electroplated parts, comprising a drying chamber 1. A cover 17 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the upper part of the drying chamber 1, and a handle is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the cover 17. Multiple fixed frames 2 are arranged vertically and equally spaced inside the drying chamber 1, and adjacent fixed frames 2 are fixedly connected by connecting rods. The lowermost fixed frame 2 is connected to a lifting control mechanism. Multiple support rollers 3 are horizontally rotatably mounted inside the fixed frame 2, and the shafts of the support rollers 3 pass through the fixed frame 2. A first gear 4 is fixedly mounted at the end of the shaft of the support roller 3. Adjacent first gears 4 are connected by a second gear 5 rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the fixed frame 2. The device employs a meshing connection, with a second gear 5 connecting two first gears 4 to ensure that all first gears 4 rotate in the same direction. This indirectly causes multiple support rollers 3 to rotate in the same direction, resulting in the electroplated parts reciprocating laterally on the support rollers 3. A third gear 6, meshing with the first gear 4, is rotatably mounted on the edge of the fixed frame 2. The third gear 6 is connected to a power mechanism. Multiple heating elements 7 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. This device uses multiple support rollers 3 to place the electroplated parts, and the support rollers 3 drive the electroplated parts to reciprocate laterally, ensuring that the electroplated parts are heated evenly and preventing the lower surface of the electroplated parts from being covered, resulting in a more ideal drying effect.

[0025] Specifically, the lifting control mechanism includes an electric push rod 8 vertically fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the drying chamber 1. The free end of the electric push rod 8 moves through the lower wall of the drying chamber 1. A support plate frame 9 is fixedly installed on the free end of the electric push rod 8. The support plate frame 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom fixed frame 2. The electric push rod 8 can indirectly drive the fixed frame 2 to move up and down. The fixed frame 2 can be moved to the top of the drying chamber 1 to facilitate the placement or removal of electroplated parts, effectively preventing operators from being burned by the drying chamber 1, making it safe and practical.

[0026] More specifically, the power mechanism includes a motor 10 horizontally fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drying chamber 1. The output shaft of the motor 10 is horizontally fixedly installed with a screw 11 that rotates through the drying chamber 1. A connecting plate 12 is installed on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 through a sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism includes a groove horizontally opened on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. The connecting plate 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove. Multiple racks 13 are horizontally fixedly installed on the connecting plate 12. The multiple racks 13 are respectively meshed with the corresponding third gear 6. The screw 11 is threaded through the connecting plate 12. The motor 10 is a servo motor that can rotate in both directions. The motor 10 drives the screw 11 to rotate in both directions, causing the racks 13 to perform horizontal reciprocating motion. Through the transmission of the third gear 6 and other components, it indirectly drives the multiple support rollers 3 to rotate in both directions, causing the electroplated parts to move back and forth on the support rollers 3 and be evenly heated and dried. At the same time, the motor 10 can control the racks 13 to disengage from the third gear 6 and move to one side to ensure that the racks 13 do not block the upward movement of the third gear 6 when the fixed frame 2 moves upward.

[0027] Furthermore, ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the support plate 9. The support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drying oven 1 by multiple vertically arranged telescopic rods 14. The telescopic rods 14 are used for auxiliary limiting and fixing, making the up-and-down movement of the support plate 9 more stable. The ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the support plate 9, allowing high-temperature gas to pass through evenly, so that the electroplated parts in the drying oven 1 are evenly heated and dried.

[0028] Furthermore, a fan 15 is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber 1, and an air outlet 16 is provided at the top of the drying chamber 1. The air outlet 16 can discharge water vapor and prevent water vapor from remaining in the drying chamber 1 and re-liquefying, which would cause the electroplated parts to become wet.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] In use, open the cover 17, control the motor 10 to drive the screw 11 to reverse, the screw 11 rotates and drives the connecting plate 12 to move outward of the drying chamber 1, the connecting plate 12 drives the rack 13 to move and causes the rack 13 to disengage from the third gear 6, then control the electric push rod 8 to extend and drive the support plate 9 and the fixed frame 2 to move upward, pushing all the fixed frames 2 to the top of the drying chamber 1, then place the electroplated parts in an orderly manner on the support rollers 3 in the fixed frames 2, control the electric push rod 8 to reset and drive the fixed frames 2 back into the drying chamber 1, then control the motor 10 to drive the screw 11 to rotate forward, the connecting plate 12 and the rack 13 to move outward of the drying chamber 1, and the rack 13 disengages from the third gear 6, then the electric push rod 8 to reset and drive the fixed frames 2 back into the drying chamber 1, then control the motor 10 to drive the screw 11 to rotate forward, the connecting plate 12 and the rack 13 disengage from the third gear 6 ...2 disengages from the third gear 6, then the electric push rod 8 to extend and drive the support plate 9 and the fixed frame 2 to move upward, pushing all the fixed frames 2 to the top of the drying chamber 1, then the electric push rod 8 to reset and drive the fixed frames 2 back into the drying chamber 1, then the electric push rod 8 to reset and drive the fixed frames 2 back into the drying chamber 1, then the electric push rod 8 to reset and drive the fixed frames 2 back into the drying chamber 1 Strip 13 is reset, then cover 17 is closed, heating element 7 and fan 15 are started, and motor 10 drives screw 11 to rotate intermittently in both directions. Screw 11 drives connecting plate 12 and rack 13 to perform lateral reciprocating motion. Rack 13 drives third gear 6 to rotate intermittently in both directions. First gear 4 adjacent to third gear 6 rotates intermittently in both directions along with third gear 6. Through the transmission of second gear 5, all first gears 4 rotate intermittently in both directions synchronously. Support roller 3 rotates intermittently in both directions along with coaxial first gear 4. Electroplated parts move back and forth on support roller 3 for uniform drying.
