Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating equipment, specifically a metal composite electroplating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Composite electroplating equipment is specifically designed for composite electroplating processes. It co-deposits non-metallic or metallic particles with a base metal through electroplating or chemical plating to form a high-performance composite material layer. It includes key components such as an electroplating tank, power supply, stirring, and temperature control, which can precisely control the electroplating conditions to ensure the quality of the coating. This equipment is widely used in many fields and meets the needs of different industries by optimizing coating properties such as wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, and corrosion resistance. Existing electroplating equipment generates air pollution during the electroplating process. Some electroplating solutions contain strong acids and alkalis, producing highly corrosive and toxic vapors. To reduce air pollution, traditional electroplating equipment often installs air absorption and purification devices above the equipment. However, a problem arises during workpiece hanging and replacement. Specifically, traditional workpiece hanging racks are usually located above the electroplating tank for easy placement. Therefore, operators must work above the electroplating tank during workpiece hanging, which undoubtedly increases the risk of injury. Operators are more likely to inhale harmful gases, reducing the safety of the electroplating equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a metal composite electroplating device to solve the technical problem that when operators hang workpieces, they usually work above the electroplating tank, which easily causes them to inhale some harmful gases.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a metal composite electroplating device, comprising a support frame and a hanging frame, wherein a fixed track is installed on the top of the support frame, and a sliding component for the horizontal sliding of the hanging frame is provided on the fixed track, and an electric push rod for the vertical movement of the hanging frame is provided at the bottom of the sliding component, and a pushing mechanism is provided at the bottom end of the electric push rod.

[0005] The pushing mechanism includes a mounting frame, and a sliding groove is formed on the inner side of the mounting frame. A sliding plate is slidably moved on the inner side of the sliding groove by a slider. A lead screw motor is installed on one side of the mounting frame, and the lead screw at the end of the lead screw motor is threadedly connected to the slider.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lead screw motor starts, the slider slides precisely in the groove, driving the sliding plate and the hanging frame to move smoothly to one side of the electroplating tank. This allows the operator to hang the workpiece in a safe area outside the electroplating tank, thereby avoiding the health risks that may be caused by being above the electroplating tank for a long time, such as inhaling harmful gases or coming into contact with corrosive liquids.

[0007] Furthermore, the slider has a "T" shaped structure and slides in accordance with the groove, and the lead screw motor is electrically connected to an external power source through a controller.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the slider can slide stably and smoothly in the groove, avoiding jamming or deviation caused by poor sliding, thereby improving the motion accuracy and stability of the pushing mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a mounting plate, the two sides of which are rotatably connected to a fixed track via rollers, and a traction rope is provided above the mounting plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rolling connection between the roller and the fixed track greatly reduces the frictional resistance during the sliding process, allowing the mounting plate to slide easily on the fixed track, thus improving the flexibility and operating efficiency of the electroplating device.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner side of the traction rope is fitted with a first fixed wheel and a second fixed wheel, and the first fixed wheel and the second fixed wheel are respectively rotatably arranged on both sides of the support frame. A servo motor is installed on one side of the support frame, and the servo motor is connected to the second fixed wheel in a transmission connection.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, stable support and guidance are provided for the traction rope, preventing the traction rope from shifting or getting tangled during the sliding process.

[0013] Furthermore, a receiving frame is installed on the lower inner side of the support frame, and several electroplating tanks are placed at equal intervals on the inner side of the receiving frame for holding different electroplating solutions.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a stable bearing platform is provided for the electroplating operation, ensuring the stability and safety of the electroplating tank. At the same time, the setting of multiple electroplating tanks enables the device to process a variety of different electroplating solutions simultaneously, meeting the needs of different workpieces for electroplating solutions and improving the versatility and production efficiency of the electroplating device.

[0015] Furthermore, two sets of first adjusting plates are fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate, and two sets of second adjusting plates are fixed to the top of the hanging frame. The first adjusting plates and the second adjusting plates are staggered and have straight grooves on their surfaces for adjusting the distance between the hanging frame and the sliding plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a stable supporting force is provided for the hanging frame, preventing tilting or swaying caused by uneven weight distribution.

[0017] Furthermore, the inner side of the hanging frame is provided with several hanging rods, and several hooks are attached to the hanging rods for hanging pre-electroplated workpieces.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a stable mounting point is provided for the workpiece to be electroplated, ensuring the stability and safety of the workpiece during the electroplating process.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0020] 1. This utility model, through a pushing mechanism and the forward and reverse rotation of a lead screw motor, can precisely control the moving distance and position of the slider and the hanging frame, thereby ensuring that the workpiece can be accurately moved to one side or above the electroplating tank. At the same time, this moving method avoids the operator being above the electroplating tank for a long time to hang the workpiece, significantly reducing the risk of the operator being exposed to harmful electroplating gases and liquids, effectively protecting the operator's health. After the workpiece is hung, the lead screw motor is restarted to smoothly move the hanging frame laterally above the electroplating tank, providing convenience for subsequent electroplating operations, while also ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the electroplating process.

[0021] 2. This utility model, by setting a first adjustment plate and a second adjustment plate, and by turning the fixing bolts on the first and second adjustment plates, provides a convenient way to adjust the longitudinal position of the hanging frame. Since both the first and second adjustment plates are provided with straight grooves, the operator can accurately control the longitudinal height of the hanging frame according to actual needs. At the same time, this adjustment mechanism greatly improves the environmental applicability of the electroplating device. In the actual electroplating process, different workpieces may require different electroplating depths, and the longitudinal position adjustment of the hanging frame precisely meets this requirement. By adjusting the height of the hanging frame, it can be ensured that the workpiece can be accurately inserted into the electroplating tank to reach the required depth, thereby obtaining the ideal electroplating effect.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] A metal composite electroplating apparatus, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a support frame 1 and a hanging frame 9. A fixed rail 4 is installed on the top of the support frame 1, and a sliding component 5 for the horizontal sliding of the hanging frame 9 is provided on the fixed rail 4. An electric push rod 6 for the vertical movement of the hanging frame 9 is provided at the bottom of the sliding component 5, and a pushing mechanism 7 is provided at the bottom end of the electric push rod 6.

[0033] The pushing mechanism 7 includes a mounting frame 701, and a groove 702 is formed on the inner side of the mounting frame 701. A sliding plate 703 is engaged and slidably moved on the inner side of the groove 702 by a slider 704. A lead screw motor 705 is mounted on one side of the mounting frame 701. The lead screw at the end of the lead screw motor 705 is threadedly connected to the slider 704. When the lead screw motor 705 is started, the slider 704 slides precisely in the groove 702, driving the sliding plate 703 and the hanging frame 9 to move smoothly to one side of the electroplating tank 3, so that the operator can enter the safe area outside the electroplating tank 3. The workpiece is hung up, thus avoiding the health risks that may arise from prolonged exposure above the electroplating tank 3, such as inhalation of harmful gases or contact with corrosive liquids. At the same time, this method of movement greatly improves the efficiency and safety of the electroplating operation. Operators can easily hang the pre-electroplated workpieces on the hook 11 without worrying about direct contact with the chemicals in the electroplating tank. After hanging, the lead screw motor 705 is started again, accurately moving the hanging frame 9 and the workpiece on it laterally above the electroplating tank 3, preparing for the subsequent electroplating operation.

[0034] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The slider 704 has a "T" shaped structure and slides in accordance with the slide groove 702. The lead screw motor 705 is electrically connected to an external power source through a controller, ensuring that the slider 704 can slide stably and smoothly in the slide groove 702, avoiding jamming or offset caused by poor sliding, thereby improving the motion accuracy and stability of the pushing mechanism 7. At the same time, the lead screw motor 705 is electrically connected to an external power source through a controller, realizing precise control of the sliding distance of the slider 704, so that the hanging frame 9 can move accurately to the predetermined position, providing a reliable positioning guarantee for subsequent electroplating operations.

[0035] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The sliding assembly 5 includes a mounting plate 502. Both sides of the mounting plate 502 are tactilely connected to the fixed track 4 via rollers 501. A traction rope 503 is provided above the mounting plate 502. The tactile connection between the mounting plate 502 and the fixed track 4 via the rollers 501 greatly reduces the frictional resistance during the sliding process, allowing the mounting plate 502 to slide easily on the fixed track 4. This improves the flexibility and operational efficiency of the electroplating device. At the same time, the traction rope 503 above the mounting plate 502 provides additional traction force to the sliding assembly 5, ensuring the stability and reliability of the sliding process. Even when carrying heavy workpieces, it can maintain smooth movement.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2The inner side of the traction rope 503 is fitted with a first fixed wheel 504 and a second fixed wheel 505, which are rotatably mounted on both sides of the support frame 1. A servo motor 506 is installed on one side of the support frame 1, and the servo motor 506 is connected to the second fixed wheel 505 for transmission, providing stable support and guidance for the traction rope 503 and preventing the traction rope 503 from deviating or knotting during the sliding process. At the same time, the transmission connection between the servo motor 506 and the second fixed wheel 505 enables precise control of the traction speed and direction of the traction rope 503, so that the sliding component 5 can move according to the predetermined trajectory and speed, further improving the automation level and operating accuracy of the electroplating device.

[0037] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The support frame 1 has a receiving frame 2 installed on its inner side below, and several electroplating tanks 3 are placed at equal intervals on the inner side of the receiving frame 2 to hold different electroplating solutions. This provides a stable support platform for the electroplating operation, ensuring the stability and safety of the electroplating tanks. At the same time, the setting of multiple electroplating tanks 3 allows the device to process a variety of different electroplating solutions at the same time, meeting the needs of different workpieces for electroplating solutions and improving the versatility and production efficiency of the electroplating device. In addition, the equidistantly placed electroplating tanks 3 also facilitate management and maintenance by operators.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 Two sets of first adjusting plates 801 are fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate 703, and two sets of second adjusting plates 802 are fixed to the top of the hanging frame 9. The first adjusting plates 801 and the second adjusting plates 802 are staggered and have straight grooves on their surfaces to adjust the distance between the hanging frame 9 and the sliding plate 703. This provides stable support for the hanging frame 9 and prevents tilting or shaking caused by uneven weight. At the same time, the straight grooves on the surfaces of the first adjusting plates 801 and the second adjusting plates 802 allow the distance between the hanging frame 9 and the sliding plate 703 to be adjusted according to actual needs, adapting to the hanging requirements of workpieces of different thicknesses and shapes, and improving the flexibility and applicability of the electroplating device.

[0040] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The inner side of the hanging frame 9 is provided with several hanging rods 10, and several hooks 11 are hung on the hanging rods 10 for hanging pre-electroplating workpieces. This provides a stable hanging point for the workpieces to be electroplated, ensuring the stability and safety of the workpieces during the electroplating process. At the same time, the setting of multiple hooks 11 allows the device to hang multiple workpieces for electroplating operations at the same time, improving electroplating efficiency and production capacity. In addition, the easy disassembly and replacement of hooks 11 also facilitates the replacement and maintenance of workpieces by operators.

[0041] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, start the lead screw motor 705, and use the lead screw at the end of the lead screw motor 705 to connect with the slider 704 by thread, so that the slider 704 slides inside the slide groove 702, thereby moving the sliding plate 703 and the hanging frame 9 to one side of the electroplating tank 3. Then, the operator hangs the workpiece to be electroplated on the hook 11, so as to avoid the operator being above the electroplating tank 3 for a long time during the hanging process, reducing the harm to the operator. After the hanging is completed, the lead screw motor 705 is used again to move the hanging frame 9 laterally to the top of the electroplating tank 3, and then the necessary electroplating operation is carried out.

[0042] During the electroplating operation, the servo motor 506 is started, which drives the second fixed wheel 505 to rotate, thereby driving the traction rope 503 to rotate. At the same time, the mounting plate 502 is pulled, causing the mounting plate 502 to slide on the fixed track 4 via the roller 501. This also causes the hanging frame 9 below to move laterally. When it moves above the required electroplating tank 3, the electric push rod 6 pushes the hanging frame 9 downward to move it until the hanging frame 9, carrying the workpiece hanging above, extends into the corresponding electroplating tank 3, and then the electroplating operation of the workpiece is completed.

[0043] By turning the fixing bolts on the first adjusting plate 801 and the second adjusting plate 802, and through the straight grooves on the first adjusting plate 801 and the second adjusting plate 802, the longitudinal position of the hanging frame 9 can be adjusted to adapt to the depth of the subsequent hanging frame 9 extending into the electroplating tank 3, thereby further improving the environmental applicability of the electroplating device.

[0044] All parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
