Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating fixture technology, and in particular to an adjustable-spacing electroplating fixture for processing automotive trim strips. Background Technology
[0002] Electroplating racks vary depending on the shape of the part, the technical requirements of the plating layer, the electroplating process, and the size of the equipment; different types of racks exist for each type. For example, there are differences between automated and manual lines. Electroplating workshops typically prepare general-purpose racks suitable for various common parts, as well as specialized racks designed and manufactured specifically for certain parts. General-purpose racks come in many forms and are suitable for various processes and parts.
[0003] Electroplating fixtures are also used in the electroplating process of automotive trim strips. A search revealed a patent (application number: 201920710889.0) disclosing "An Electroplating Fixture for Automotive Center Console Trim Strips." This device uses a clamping structure to hold the product to be electroplated between a hook and a locking block, preventing the product from shaking due to electrolyte disturbance and thus preventing collisions between products during electroplating. This allows the electrolyte to be stably plated onto the product, improving electroplating stability. However, this device has the following problems during use:
[0004] First, the frame of the device is fixed by welding, which is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble. At the same time, the hooks inside the device are fixed to the rod and their positions remain unchanged. The spacing between the hooks cannot be adjusted, which limits the applicable range. In addition, although the hanger is equipped with spring-connected locking blocks, a set of limiting structures needs to be installed on one side of each hook, resulting in high overall installation costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an adjustable-spacing electroplating fixture for automotive trim processing, which overcomes the deficiencies of existing technologies and effectively solves the problems of inconvenient disassembly and assembly, inability to adjust the spacing between hooks, and high installation costs of the clips.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An adjustable-spacing electroplating fixture for processing automotive trim includes a crossbeam. The top outer wall of the crossbeam has adjacently distributed hanging plates, and a locking device is provided between the hanging plates and the crossbeam. Two hanging plates are fixedly connected by screws to equally spaced track plates, and equally spaced sliders are slidably connected to the inner wall of the track plates. A hook is welded to one side of the outer wall of each slider. Springs are fixedly connected to both ends of one side of the outer wall of the crossbeam, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected between the two springs.
[0008] Preferably, the clamp is disposed on the inside of the hook.
[0009] Preferably, the locking component includes a screw threaded to the outer wall of the top of the crossarm and a lifting ring welded to the outer wall of the top of the screw thread.
[0010] Preferably, guide posts are welded to the outer walls of both ends of the track slab, and the clamping plate is slidably connected to the outer walls of the guide posts.
[0011] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is welded between the hanging plate and the track plate.
[0012] Preferably, a pivot pin is fixedly connected between the two mounting plates.
[0013] Preferably, a connecting rod is welded to the top between the other two mounting plates.
[0014] Preferably, a connecting plate is welded to the outer wall of the crossbeam, and a support plate is welded to the inner top wall of the connecting plate, and two lifting rings are welded to both ends of the outer top wall of the support plate.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. The adjustable-spacing electroplating fixture for automotive trim processing designed in this paper has a locking component at the connection between the crossbeam and the mounting plate. By rotating the lifting ring, the screw can be unscrewed to separate the locking component, crossbeam, and mounting plate. The detachable fixing structure facilitates assembly.
[0017] 2. The adjustable spacing electroplating fixture for automotive trim processing designed in this paper allows the position of each hook to be adjusted by sliding a slider within the track plate, thereby adjusting the spacing between the hooks. This can be adjusted according to actual conditions to meet the hanging requirements of different automotive trims and improve the applicability of the electroplating fixture.
[0018] 3. The adjustable-spacing electroplating fixture for automotive trim processing designed in this paper has multiple layers of clamps on each of the two hanging plates in each group. The clamps run through each layer of hooks. Under the elastic action of springs, the clamps can be pushed close to the hooks, thereby fixing the automotive trim and preventing it from shaking. The overall structure is simple, and one clamp can meet the limiting requirements of a row. The installation cost is low and the maintenance is convenient. Attached Figure Description
