Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a high-efficiency cleaning device for nickel electroplating. Background Technology
[0002] Nickel electroplating is a process that deposits a layer of nickel metal onto the surface of a metal or other material using an electrochemical method. In this process, the workpiece is used as the cathode, and the nickel metal as the anode. The workpiece is immersed in an electroplating solution containing nickel ions. Under the influence of direct current, the nickel ions gain electrons at the cathode surface and are reduced to nickel atoms, thus forming a nickel plating layer on the workpiece surface.
[0003] After nickel electroplating is completed, the workpiece needs to be thoroughly washed with water to remove residual electroplating solution from the surface. However, traditional cleaning equipment often fails to completely remove residual electroplating solution from the workpiece surface. Incomplete cleaning will cause these residual electroplating solutions to crystallize after drying on the workpiece surface, affecting the appearance quality of the workpiece. In addition, traditional cleaning methods often use simple soaking or single-stage rinsing. In order to achieve a certain cleaning effect, a large amount of water is often required for a long time of rinsing. A large amount of water is discharged before it can fully play its cleaning role, resulting in a serious waste of water resources.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a high-efficiency cleaning device for nickel electroplating to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The device shown is a high-efficiency cleaning device for nickel electroplating, including a multi-stage cleaning tank 1 for nickel electroplating and a moving component 2 installed above the cleaning tank 1. A control device 3 is also provided at one end of the cleaning tank 1, and a matching wastewater collection device 4 is provided on one side of the cleaning tank 1.
[0031] Specifically, the multi-stage cleaning tank 1 includes a primary cleaning tank 11, a secondary cleaning tank 12, and a tertiary cleaning tank 13, and the multi-stage cleaning tank 1 is connected in series, with a partition 14 between each pair.
[0032] In this embodiment, the multi-stage cleaning tank 1 is installed in a suitable work site, ensuring that it is placed horizontally and stably. The primary cleaning tank 11, the secondary cleaning tank 12, and the tertiary cleaning tank 13 are connected in series, with partitions 14 installed between each pair to ensure the sealing between each cleaning tank and prevent cleaning fluid leakage.
[0033] Reference Figure 4 The moving component 2 includes a walking guide rail 21 set on both sides of the top of the cleaning tank 1. A vertical moving frame 22 is installed on the walking guide rail 21. A horizontal moving frame 23 is installed inside the vertical moving frame 22. A horizontal moving mounting frame 24 is provided on both sides of the horizontal moving frame 23. A support net 25 is erected between the two horizontal moving mounting frames 24.
[0034] In this embodiment, guide rails 21 are installed on both sides of the top of the cleaning tank 1, and a vertical moving frame 22 is installed on the guide rails 21 to allow the vertical moving frame 22 to move smoothly on the guide rails 21. Then, a horizontal moving frame 23 is installed inside the vertical moving frame 22, and the horizontal sliding mounting frames 24 on both sides of the horizontal moving frame 23 are connected to the horizontal moving frame 23. A support net 25 is installed between the two horizontal sliding mounting frames 24. During the installation process, it is necessary to ensure that the moving grooves 26 in the vertical moving frame 22 and the horizontal moving frame 23 are accurately matched with the moving blocks 27 on the horizontal sliding mounting frames 24 and the horizontal moving frame 23. Since the moving grooves 26 and the moving blocks 27 are T-shaped structures, attention should be paid to the direction during installation to ensure the stability of the movement.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 A bubbler 5 is provided on the inner wall of the opposite side of the cleaning tank 1. A reflux valve 6 is installed on the partition 14 between the primary cleaning tank 11 and the secondary cleaning tank 12. The reflux valve 6 returns the cleaning liquid in the secondary cleaning tank 12 to the primary cleaning tank 11. A rotating baffle 15 is provided on the inner partition 14 of the primary cleaning tank 11 outside the reflux valve 6.
[0036] Specifically, an ultrasonic generator 7 is provided at the bottom of the three-stage cleaning tank 13, and the ultrasonic generator 7 is vertically attached to the bottom of the three-stage cleaning tank 13.
[0037] In this embodiment, a bubbler 5 is installed on the inner wall of the opposite side of the cleaning tank 1. A reflux valve 6 is installed on the partition 14 between the primary cleaning tank 11 and the secondary cleaning tank 12. A rotating baffle 15 is installed on the inner partition 14 of the primary cleaning tank 11, located outside the reflux valve 6. An ultrasonic generator 7 is installed at the bottom of the tertiary cleaning tank 13, perpendicularly attached to the bottom. A control device 3 is installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1, and its circuit is connected to the internal equipment (such as the bubbler 5, ultrasonic generator 7, etc.) of the cleaning tank 1. A wastewater collection device 4 is installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1, and is connected to the cleaning tank 1 through a collection pipe 41, ensuring that each collection pipe 41 corresponds to a specific cleaning tank section.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 The walking guide rail 21 is fixed on both sides of the cleaning tank 1, and its internal walking length is at least longer than the internal length of the cleaning tank 1. The vertical moving frame 22 and the horizontal moving frame 23 are both provided with moving slots 26 that match the next level. The horizontal moving frame 23 and the horizontal moving mounting frame 24 are both provided with moving blocks 27 that match the moving slots 26, and the moving slots 26 and the moving blocks 27 are both T-shaped.
[0039] Specifically, an L-shaped support plate 28 is fixed on one side of the moving block 27 on the transverse mounting frame 24, and the L-shaped support plates 28 on both sides are parallel to each other. Support mesh 25 is installed on the connecting part of the two sets of L-shaped support plates 28 at both ends. The support mesh 25 is a stainless steel mesh with the same mesh size.
[0040] Reference Figure 1-2 The wastewater collection device 4 is connected to the cleaning tank 1 through multiple collection pipes 41 connected to one side. The wastewater collection device 4 has multiple partitions inside, which correspond to the primary cleaning tank 11, the secondary cleaning tank 12 and the tertiary cleaning tank 13 respectively. Each partition is provided with a partition plate, and the top of each partition is provided with a cover plate 42. The overall size of the wastewater collection device 4 is the same as that of the cleaning tank 1.
[0041] Specifically, the control device 3 is located on one side of the cleaning tank 1 and controls the operation of the equipment inside the cleaning tank 1. The control device 3 has a display screen 31 above it, a control button 32 below it, and a switch cabinet 33 at the bottom front of the control device 3.
[0042] In this embodiment, the specific operation process is as follows:
[0043] The electroplated nickel metal workpiece to be cleaned is placed on the support net 25 of the moving assembly 2. The operator starts the cleaning process via the control button 32 on the control device 3. First, an appropriate amount of cleaning solution is injected into each level of the cleaning tank 1.
[0044] Specifically, during the cleaning process, the bubbler 5 starts working, generating bubbles in the cleaning solution. As the bubbles rise, they agitate the cleaning solution, helping to remove electroplated nickel impurities from the workpiece surface. Simultaneously, the vertical moving frame 22 and the horizontal moving frame 23 on the travel guide rail 21 begin to move, causing the workpiece on the support net 25 to move to different positions within the cleaning tank 1, allowing the workpiece to be cleaned from all angles.
[0045] Specifically, when the cleaning fluid in the secondary cleaning tank 12 reaches a certain level or after a certain cleaning time, the return valve 6 opens, and with the assistance of the rotating baffle 15, the cleaning fluid in the secondary cleaning tank 12 is returned to the primary cleaning tank 11.
[0046] Specifically, in the three-stage cleaning tank 13, the ultrasonic generator 7 works continuously to generate ultrasonic waves, which utilize the cavitation effect to further clean the residual electroplated nickel impurities on the workpiece surface.
[0047] Specifically, during the cleaning process, wastewater in the cleaning tank 1 flows into the wastewater collection device 4 through the collection pipe 41. Since the wastewater collection device 4 has multiple partitions corresponding to different levels of cleaning tanks, wastewater of different pollution levels is collected separately. After cleaning is completed, the operator stops the equipment by pressing the control button 32 on the control device 3 and removes the cleaned workpiece from the support net 25.
[0048] In this embodiment, because the moving component 2 enables the workpiece to move omnidirectionally within the cleaning tank 1, and combined with the agitation of the bubble machine 5 and the cavitation effect of the ultrasonic generator 7, the electroplated nickel impurities on the workpiece surface can be thoroughly and completely removed. For workpieces with complex shapes, internal structures, or small crevices, this multi-mode cleaning method can reach these hard-to-clean areas, ensuring cleaning quality.
[0049] Specifically, the design of the multi-stage cleaning tank 1 allows the cleaning process to proceed step by step, with each stage of the cleaning tank further purifying the workpiece. The first-stage cleaning tank 11 performs preliminary cleaning, the second-stage cleaning tank 12 further removes residual impurities, and the third-stage cleaning tank 13 performs deep cleaning using ultrasonic waves, greatly improving cleaning efficiency.
[0050] Specifically, the design of returning the cleaning fluid in the secondary cleaning tank 12 to the primary cleaning tank 11 effectively utilizes the cleaning fluid in the secondary cleaning tank 12 that still has cleaning capacity, reduces the amount of fresh cleaning fluid used, and saves water resources.
[0051] In this embodiment, the zoned collection method of the wastewater collection device 4 facilitates the treatment of wastewater with different levels of pollution. For example, the wastewater generated by the primary cleaning tank 11 may contain a high concentration of electroplated nickel, which can be recovered through a special treatment process, and then the wastewater can be purified and reused; while the wastewater generated by the tertiary cleaning tank 13 is relatively clean and can be directly reused after simple treatment, thus improving the overall utilization rate of water resources.
[0052] Specifically, the design of control device 3 facilitates the operation of the equipment by the operator. The display screen 31 can intuitively display the operating status of the equipment, such as the temperature of the cleaning solution, the liquid level of each cleaning tank, and the equipment running time. The operator can adjust the equipment operating parameters in a timely manner based on this information. The control buttons 32 facilitate the operator to start and stop the equipment and adjust the operating functions of the equipment, such as the bubbling intensity of the bubbler 5 and the power of the ultrasonic generator 7.
[0053] Specifically, the switch cabinet 33 at the bottom front of the control device 3 facilitates circuit maintenance. Meanwhile, the installation methods of each component are relatively clear; for example, the modular installation of the moving assembly 2 facilitates disassembly and repair in case of equipment failure. The partitioned structure of the wastewater collection device 4 also facilitates inspection and maintenance of the wastewater collection section. If a collection pipe 41 in a certain partition becomes blocked, it can be checked and cleaned individually.
[0054] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
