Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a novel rack plating tank, including a rack plating tank 1. The upper side wall of the rack plating tank 1 has four grooves 2 at the four corners. A rack plating frame 3 is arranged between the four grooves 2. A hanging rod 31 is arranged on the rack plating frame 3. A hanger 32 is hung on the hanging rod 31. A spring 21 is arranged on the lower side wall of the grooves 2. The other end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the rack plating frame 3. After the rack plating frame 3 is lifted by the shaking mechanism 5, the spring 21 can pull the rack plating frame 3 back to its original position. The rack plating tank 1 is provided with a stirring mechanism 4 and a shaking mechanism 5.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a novel plating tank includes an agitation mechanism 4 comprising an L-shaped mounting base 41, a motor 42, a screw 43, a U-shaped moving plate 44, an agitator 45, stirring blades 46, a groove 47, a rack 48, and a gear 49. The L-shaped mounting base 41 is fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the plating tank 1. The motor 42 is mounted on the front outer wall of the L-shaped mounting base 41. The screw 43 is rotatably disposed between the front and rear side walls of the plating tank 1. The output shaft of the motor 42 is fixedly connected to the screw 43. A U-shaped moving plate 44 is disposed inside the plating tank 1, threaded onto the screw 43. An agitator 45 is rotatably disposed between the inner side walls of the U-shaped moving plate 44. Stirring blades 46 are evenly distributed on the agitator 45. A groove 47 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the plate, and a rack 48 is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the groove 47. One end of the stirring rod 45 extends into the groove 47 and is fixedly connected to a gear 49. The output shaft of the motor 42 can drive the screw 43 to rotate. When the screw 43 rotates, the U-shaped moving plate 44 can drive the stirring rod 45 to move back and forth continuously in the plate plating tank 1. The stirring blade 46 is used to stir the bottom of the plate plating tank 1, making the plating solution more uniform. While the U-shaped moving plate 44 moves, the gear 49 can drive the stirring rod 45 to rotate under the action of the rack 48, so that the stirring rod 45 can rotate while stirring the bottom of the tank, thereby preventing the deposits from adhering to the bottom of the tank and making it easier to clean and maintain the plate plating tank 1.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a novel rack plating tank includes a shaking mechanism 5 comprising a support 51, a rotating shaft 52, a driven pulley 53, a driving pulley 54, a belt 55, a cam 56, and a push rod 57. Supports 51 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the upper sidewall of the rack plating tank 1. A rotating shaft 52 is rotatably inserted into the support 51. Driven pulleys 53 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two rotating shafts 52 that are far apart from each other. Driving pulleys 54 are fixedly connected to both ends of the screw 43. A belt 55 is wound between the driving pulley 54 and the driven pulley 53. A cam 56 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 52. The upper inner wall of the rack plating rack 3 is front... Both sides are fixedly connected with push rods 57 that cooperate with cam 56. When screw 43 rotates, it will drive two drive pulleys 54 to rotate. Through the transmission of belt 55, driven pulley 53 will drive shaft 52 to rotate, thereby causing cam 56 to rotate. When cam 56 rotates, it can lift push rod 57, thereby raising the plating rack 3. After the protruding end of cam 56 disengages from push rod 57, plating rack 3 will be pulled down by spring 21. Thus, as cam 56 rotates continuously, plating rack 3 will move up and down continuously to form a vibration, so that the workpiece on rack 32 can fully contact the plating solution and improve product quality.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a new type of plating bath is provided, in which gear 49 meshes with rack 48.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a new type of plating tank is provided with ball bearings at the bottom end of the push rod 57 to prevent the push rod 57 from directly rubbing against the cam 56 and extend its service life.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a novel plating tank is provided. Guide rods 11 are fixedly connected to the inner front wall of the plating tank 1 on both sides of the screw 43. The other end of the guide rod 11 slides through the U-shaped moving plate 44 and is fixedly connected to the inner rear wall of the plating tank 1. The guide rod 11 can guide the U-shaped moving plate 44 so that the U-shaped moving plate 44 will not rotate with the screw 43.

[0028] It should be noted that this utility model is a novel plating tank. During use, the output shaft of the motor 42 drives the screw 43 to rotate. When the screw 43 rotates, the U-shaped moving plate 44 drives the stirring rod 45 to continuously reciprocate within the plating tank 1. The stirring blades 46 agitate the bottom of the plating tank 1, making the plating solution more uniform. Simultaneously, under the action of the rack 48, the gear 49 drives the stirring rod 45 to rotate, allowing the stirring rod 45 to rotate while agitating the tank bottom. This prevents sediment from adhering to the tank bottom. During the cleaning and maintenance of the rack plating tank 1, the screw 43 rotates, which in turn drives the two drive pulleys 54 to rotate. Through the transmission of the belt 55, the driven pulley 53 drives the rotating shaft 52 to rotate, thereby causing the cam 56 to rotate continuously. When the cam 56 rotates, it can lift the push rod 57, thereby raising the rack plating rack 3. After the protruding end of the cam 56 disengages from the push rod 57, the rack plating rack 3 will be pulled down by the spring 21. Thus, as the cam 56 rotates continuously, the rack plating rack 3 will move up and down continuously, creating a vibration, so that the workpiece on the rack 32 can fully contact the plating solution, improving product quality.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
