Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of musical instrument parts processing technology, and in particular to an electroplating device for musical instrument parts. Background Technology

[0002] Musical instruments are tools used by humans to express and communicate thoughts and feelings through the vibrations produced by physical objects. Different materials are needed to make different instruments; some instrument parts are made of metal. To ensure the durability and aesthetics of these parts, electroplating is necessary. Electroplating is the process of applying a thin layer of another metal or alloy to the surface of certain metals using the principle of electrolysis. Electroplating can prevent metal oxidation (such as rust), improve wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (such as copper sulfate), and enhance aesthetics. The applicant has long been engaged in the production of musical instrument parts. Due to the wide variety and shapes of musical instrument parts, existing electroplating equipment sometimes results in uneven or incomplete electroplating at the clamping points of the parts. Furthermore, the disassembly and assembly process of musical instrument parts is cumbersome, severely impacting electroplating efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an electroplating device for musical instrument parts to address the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electroplating device for musical instrument parts, which can solve the problems of uneven electroplating at the clamping position of musical instrument parts and the difficulty of clamping due to the variety of musical instrument parts and their different shapes, thus affecting the electroplating efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses an electroplating device for musical instrument parts, comprising an electroplating tank, electrode rods, and a controller, and further comprising a lifting assembly, a flipping assembly, a clamping assembly, and a collecting assembly. The flipping assembly is mounted on the lifting assembly, which is fixed to the electroplating tank and is used to drive the flipping assembly to lift and lower. The clamping assembly, used to clamp several musical instrument parts, is mounted on the flipping assembly and is electrically connected to both the controller and the musical instrument parts. The lifting assembly, the flipping assembly, and the clamping assembly are provided on both sides of the top of the electroplating tank. The collecting assembly is mounted on the electroplating tank on one side of the two clamping assemblies and is used to collect the electroplated musical instrument parts.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a limiting frame, a lifting cylinder, a locking block, and a lifting frame. The limiting frame is fixed to the top of the side wall of the electroplating tank, and the limiting frame is provided with a limiting groove for vertically sliding the lifting frame. The lifting cylinder is fixed to the side wall of the electroplating tank and is located on the side of the limiting frame away from the electroplating tank. The locking block is installed on the driving end of the lifting cylinder and engages with one side of the limiting frame. One end of the lifting frame located above the electroplating tank is connected to the flipping assembly, and the other end passes through the limiting groove and is fixedly connected to the locking block. The lifting frame is an L-shaped structure that facilitates insertion into the electroplating tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a flipping motor, a flipping shaft, and a flipping frame. The flipping motor is fixed to one end of the lifting frame located above the electroplating tank of the electroplating bath, and the output end of the flipping motor is fixedly connected to the flipping shaft. The flipping shaft is rotatably mounted on the lifting frame and passes through the lifting frame and is fixedly connected to the flipping frame. The clamping assembly is mounted on the flipping frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes clamping plates, a bidirectional screw, a driving sprocket, a driven sprocket, a clamping motor, and conductive plates. The flipping frame is provided with a flipping groove for slidingly mounting the clamping plates. The bidirectional screw is installed in the flipping groove, and both ends are rotatably mounted on the flipping frame. The driven sprocket is fixedly mounted in the middle of the bidirectional screw and connected to the driving sprocket via a chain. The threads on both sides of the driven sprocket on the bidirectional screw have opposite directions of rotation. The clamping motor is fixed to the outer surface of the flipping frame, and the output end of the clamping motor is fixedly connected to the driving sprocket to drive the driving sprocket to rotate. Two horizontally mounted clamping plates are arranged side by side along the setting direction of the flipping groove and are respectively threaded to the bidirectional screws on both sides of the driven sprocket. The conductive plates are fixedly mounted on the opposite side surfaces of the two clamping plates, and the conductive plates are used to electrically connect the controller to the musical instrument parts.

[0010] Furthermore, the receiving assembly includes a slide plate and a receiving box. The slide plate is inclined and its bottom is fixed to the top of the side wall of the electroplating tank. Baffles are fixed on both sides of the top of the slide plate. The receiving box is placed on the side of the electroplating tank where the slide plate is installed. The electroplated musical instrument parts slide from the slide plate into the receiving box. The width of the slide plate is greater than the length of the conductive sheet.

[0011] Furthermore, the distance between the two opposing flipping frames is greater than the length of the clamping plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This utility model discloses an electroplating device for musical instrument parts. The clamping assembly can hold multiple musical instrument parts by means of clamping plates. The arrangement of two clamping plates clamping each other can accommodate musical instrument parts of different shapes, meeting the clamping and fixing requirements of musical instrument parts with different structures. The flipping assembly allows the electroplated side to be flipped upwards, and then clamped by the other side, enabling electroplating of the unplated surface. This results in more uniform electroplating and eliminates incomplete plating areas. After electroplating, the clamping assembly, driven by the lifting assembly, flips the musical instrument parts above the slide plate. The clamping assembly then releases its restraint on the musical instrument parts, allowing them to slide off the slide plate into the collection bin for automatic collection. The entire process is more efficient and produces better electroplating results. Attached Figure Description

The electroplating bath 5 is used to hold the electroplating solution, and an outlet is provided at the bottom of the electroplating bath 5, with an outlet valve installed inside the outlet. The controller is used to supply power to the electrode rods 6 and the conductive sheet 36 to provide electrical energy for the electroplating process, and is also used to control the working status of the lifting assembly 1, the tilting assembly 2, and the clamping assembly 3.

[0030] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the clamping assembly 3 includes a clamping plate 31, a bidirectional screw 32, a driving sprocket 33, a driven sprocket 34, a clamping motor 35, and a conductive sheet 36.

[0031] In this embodiment, a dryer is also provided on one side of the flipping frame 23. The dryer blows hot air onto the musical instrument parts 7 so that the surface of the musical instrument parts 7 dries as quickly as possible, making it easier to pick up and collect. The dryer is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the receiving assembly 4 includes a slide plate 41 and a receiving box 42. The slide plate 41 is inclined and its bottom is fixed to the top of the side wall of the electroplating tank 5. Baffles 43 are fixed on both sides of the top of the slide plate 41. The receiving box 42 is placed on the side of the electroplating tank 5 where the slide plate 41 is installed. The electroplated musical instrument parts 7 slide from the slide plate 41 into the receiving box 42. The width of the slide plate 41 is greater than the length of the conductive sheet 36.

[0033] In this embodiment, the distance between the two opposing tilting frames 23 is greater than the length of the clamping plate 31. The clamping plate 31 is made of insulating material, and an elastic layer of rubber is provided on the opposite side of the two clamping plates 31. The lifting cylinder 12, the tilting motor 21, and the clamping motor 35 are all electrically connected to the controller, which is equipped with a start button and a control display screen. Here, anything that can achieve the aforementioned performance functions of the controller and the receiving assembly 4 is within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] Compared with existing technologies, this electroplating device for musical instrument parts can clamp multiple musical instrument parts 7 through the clamping plate 31 in the clamping component 3. The clamping of two clamping plates 31 can accommodate musical instrument parts 7 of different shapes and meet the clamping and fixing requirements of musical instrument parts 7 with different structures. Through the setting of the flipping component 2, the electroplated side can be flipped upward and then clamped by the clamping component 3 on the other side, so that the unplated surface can be electroplated, resulting in more uniform surface electroplating and no incomplete electroplating areas. After electroplating, the clamping component 3, driven by the lifting component 1, flips the musical instrument part 7 to the top of the slide plate 41 through the flipping component 2. The clamping component 3 releases the limit on the musical instrument part 7, and the musical instrument part 7 slides off the slide plate 41 into the receiving box 42 for automatic collection. The whole process has higher work efficiency and better electroplating effect.

[0035] The working process of this electroplating device for musical instrument parts is as follows: The flipping assembly 2 is activated to rotate the surface of the clamping plate 31 where the conductive sheet 36 is mounted to face upwards or downwards. Multiple musical instrument parts 7 are placed sequentially on the lower clamping plate 31. The clamping motor 35 is activated, driving the bidirectional screw 32 to rotate via the driving sprocket 33 and the driven sprocket 34. The bidirectional screw 32 drives the two opposing clamping plates 31 to move relative to each other, clamping the multiple musical instrument parts 7 between the two clamping plates 31. Pressure sensors are installed on the clamping plates 31. When the pressure between the clamping plates 31 and the musical instrument parts 7 reaches a certain value, the clamping motor 35 is turned off, completing the clamping step. The flipping motor 21 is activated, driving the flipping frame 23 to rotate via the flipping shaft 22, so that the end of the musical instrument part 7 protruding from the clamping plate 31 faces downwards. The lifting cylinder 12 is activated, driving the clamping plate 31 and the musical instrument parts 7 downwards via the locking block 13 and the lifting frame 14. The lower half of the musical instrument parts 7 is immersed in the electroplating solution. The controller is the electrode rod 6. Power is supplied to the conductive sheet 36; after electroplating one end for a period of time, the clamping plate 31 is lifted, and the instrument part 7 is shaken up and down for a period of time by the lifting cylinder 12 to shake off and dry the moisture on the surface of the instrument part 7; the flipping component 2 is flipped horizontally so that the end of the instrument part 7 protruding from the clamping plate 31 faces upward, and the clamping component 3 on the other side is activated to clamp the electroplated part of the instrument part 7. The two clamping plates 31 in one clamping component 3 are fully opened so that the clamping plate 31 on the other side can move up and down freely. The clamping plate 31 that clamps the electroplated part of the instrument part 7 moves down to electroplat the unplated part of the instrument part 7; after electroplating is completed, the clamping component 3 is moved up to a position slightly above the slide plate 41. The instrument part 7 is flipped by the flipping component 2 so that the end of the instrument part 7 protruding from the clamping plate 31 is above the slide plate 41 and the instrument part 7 is at an inclined angle. The clamping motor 35 controls the two clamping plates 31 to move in opposite directions, releasing the limit on the instrument part 7. The instrument part 7 falls into the receiving box 42 through the slide plate 41.
