The base 11 is installed on the transmission motor 41, the output shaft of the transmission motor 41 is installed on the transmission roller 42, the base 11 is rotatably provided with a plurality of support rollers 43, the support rollers 43 and the transmission rollers 42 are arranged in parallel, and the transmission rollers 42 and the support rollers 43 are commonly sleeved with the transmission belt 4. The base 11 is installed on the rack 1, the rack 1 is movably provided with a plurality of clamping seats 21, the clamping seat 21 is installed at the bottom of a group of clamping jaws 2, and the clamping jaws 2 are used for clamping workpieces. The rack 1 is installed on the blanking box 5, the blanking box 5 is provided with a feeding port 51 at the top, and the blanking box 5 is provided with a discharging port 52 at the bottom. The discharging port 52 is located above the transmission belt 4. The outer wall of the blanking box 5 is installed with a blanking motor 6, the output shaft of the blanking motor 6 penetrates through the side wall of the blanking box 5 and is located in the blanking box 5, and the output shaft of the blanking motor 6 is installed with a blanking shaft 61. The blanking shaft 61 is rotatably connected with the inner wall of the blanking box 5. A plurality of partitions 62 are installed on the blanking shaft 61, a buffer assembly 7 is installed between adjacent partitions 62, and the buffer assembly 7 is used for reducing the force of the partitions 62 on the workpieces. The workpiece to be processed is clamped by the clamping jaw 2, and then the clamping seat 21 drives the processed workpiece to move to the electroplating tank 3 for electroplating. After the workpiece is electroplated, the clamping seat 21 drives the workpiece to move out of the electroplating tank 3. When the workpiece moves above the blanking box 5, the clamping jaws 2 move away from each other, so that the electroplated workpiece falls from the feeding port 51 into the blanking box 5, and then the workpiece falls on the buffer assembly 7 between adjacent partitions 62, the buffer assembly 7 reduces the impact force of the partitions 62 on the workpiece, and reduces the collision between the workpiece and the partitions 62. Then the blanking motor 6 drives the blanking shaft 61 to rotate, so that the blanking shaft 61 drives the partitions 62 to rotate, and the partitions 62 drive the workpiece to move from the feeding port 51 to the discharging port 52. When the workpiece moves to the discharging port 52, the workpiece falls from the discharging port 52 onto the transmission belt 4, and the transmission motor 41 drives the transmission belt 4 to move, so as to move the workpiece away from below the discharging port 52, reducing the accumulation of electroplated workpieces below the discharging port 52, thereby reducing the scratching caused by friction and collision between the electroplated workpieces.

After the workpiece enters the blanking box 5 from the feed inlet 51, the workpiece falls on the buffer pad 71 between adjacent partition plates 62, and the buffer pad 71 and the buffer spring 73 deform to disperse the force of the workpiece, thereby reducing the reaction force of the partition plate 62 on the workpiece and reducing the scratching of the workpiece on the inner wall of the blanking box 5.

[0033] In order to clamp the electroplated workpiece, referring to Figure 3 One of the clamping jaws 2 is provided with a fixed clamping arm 22, and the fixed clamping arm 22 is welded to the clamping seat 21. The other clamping jaw 2 is provided with a movable clamping arm 23, and a driving cylinder 24 is installed between the movable clamping arm 23 and the clamping seat 21. The driving cylinder 24 is welded to the bottom of the clamping seat 21, and the output shaft of the driving cylinder 24 is welded to the side of the movable clamping arm 23 away from the fixed clamping arm 22.

After the workpiece is electroplated, the clamping seat 21 drives the workpiece to move out of the electroplating tank 3. When the workpiece moves above the discharge box 5, the clamping jaws 2 move away from each other, so that the electroplated workpiece falls into the discharge box 5 from the feeding port 51. Then the workpiece falls on the buffer pad 71 between the adjacent partitions 62. The buffer pad 71 and the buffer spring 73 deform to disperse the force of the workpiece, so as to reduce the collision between the workpiece and the partition 62. Then the discharge motor 6 drives the discharge shaft 61 to rotate, so that the discharge shaft 61 drives the partition 62 to rotate, and the partition 62 drives the workpiece to move from the feeding port 51 to the discharging port 52. When the workpiece moves to the discharging port 52, the workpiece falls from the discharging port 52 to the conveying belt 4. The conveying motor 41 drives the conveying belt 4 to move, so as to move the workpiece away from below the discharging port 52, thereby reducing the accumulation of the electroplated workpiece below the discharging port 52, and reducing the scratches caused by the friction and collision between the electroplated workpieces. The discharge box 5 reduces the impact force between the workpiece and the conveying belt 4, reduces the situation that the workpiece is scratched, and only one workpiece is accommodated between the adjacent partitions 62 at a time, thereby reducing the situation that the workpieces are scratched by collision.
