Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of surface treatment, specifically relating to a novel conductive base for electroplating and oxidation lines. Background Technology

[0002] In the electroplating and oxidation processes, in order to quickly attach a corrosion-resistant and oxidation-resistant metal film to the surface of metal or plastic workpieces, a large current of direct current is usually applied to the workpiece, and the workpiece is repeatedly immersed in strong acid, strong alkali, and strong oxidizing agent to increase the reaction rate of electrochemical displacement reaction.

[0003] Since the fixture for mounting the workpiece needs to move repeatedly between different chemical tanks, how to efficiently and stably transmit current from the circuit to the fixture and the workpiece has become a difficult problem.

[0004] In existing technologies, V-shaped or U-shaped conductive bases are manufactured so that the mounting bracket is recessed into the groove for stable current transmission. However, V-shaped conductive bases are prone to single-sided contact due to wear and other reasons during use; U-shaped conductive bases only have a stable contact surface on the bottom, with the two sides unable to maintain stable contact for current flow. This instability in the conductive area leads to inconsistent plating thickness, affecting product quality. To maintain a stable contact area, the flatness requirements for the mounting bracket are increased, raising production costs and complexity, complicating maintenance, and reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to address the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art by providing a novel conductive base for electroplating and oxidation lines, wherein the novel conductive base for electroplating and oxidation lines can ensure that the bottom and side surfaces of the hanger are in stable contact with the conductive base.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel conductive base for electroplating and oxidation lines includes a base and a movable conductive assembly. The base has a slot, the bottom of which is a fixed conductive plate. The movable conductive assembly includes a movable conductive plate and an elastic component. One end of the elastic component is fixed to one side of the base, and the other end is connected to the movable conductive plate. When a workpiece enters the slot, its bottom contacts the fixed conductive plate, and one side is pressed against the movable conductive plate. Under the elastic force of the elastic component, the workpiece is pressed firmly into the slot of the base.

[0008] Preferably, the upper part of the slot is V-shaped and the lower part is U-shaped.

[0009] Preferably, the fixed conductive plate is arranged in a horizontal direction, and the movable conductive plate is arranged in a vertical direction.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic component is provided in four groups, and the four groups of elastic components are arranged along the circumference of the movable conductive plate.

[0011] Preferably, the elastic component includes a guide sleeve, a guide rod, a spring, and a connecting plate. The guide sleeve is mounted on the base and has a cavity inside. The spring is mounted in the cavity. One end of the guide rod slides in the cavity and contacts the spring, while the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The movable conductive plate is mounted on the side of the connecting plate away from the guide rod.

[0012] Preferably, the movable conductive plate is connected to the connecting plate by bolts.

[0013] Preferably, the fixed conductive plate is connected to the base by bolts.

[0014] The novel conductive base of this utility model combines a V-shaped conductive base and a U-shaped conductive base, and has a movable conductive plate on the side. The movable conductive plate presses the hanger into the slot of the base through the elastic force of the elastic component, thereby ensuring that the bottom and side surfaces of the workpiece can effectively contact the conductive surface, ensuring that the current can be stably transmitted to the hanger, reducing the electrothermal effect by 50%, and effectively reducing energy consumption.

[0023] This utility model provides a novel conductive base for electroplating and oxidation lines, including a base and a movable conductive component. The base has a slot, and the bottom of the slot is a fixed conductive plate. The movable conductive component includes a movable conductive plate and an elastic component. One end of the elastic component is fixed to one side of the base, and the other end is connected to the movable conductive plate. When the workpiece enters the slot, its bottom contacts the fixed conductive plate, and one side is pressed against the movable conductive plate. Under the elastic force of the elastic component, it is pressed tightly into the slot of the base.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a novel conductive base for electroplating and oxidation lines, including a base 1 and a movable conductive component 4. The base 1 has a slot 2, and the bottom of the slot 2 is a fixed conductive plate 3. The movable conductive component 4 includes a movable conductive plate 41 and an elastic component. One end of the elastic component is fixed to one side of the base 1, and the other end is connected to the movable conductive plate 41. When the workpiece (hanger) enters the slot 2, its bottom contacts the fixed conductive plate 3. The width of the hanger is wider than the width of the slot 2 in its naturally extended state. Therefore, when the hanger is placed into the slot 2, one side of it will press against the movable conductive plate 41, pushing the elastic component to compress. The reaction force of the elastic component presses the hanger tightly into the slot 2 of the base 1 (the other side of the hanger is pressed against the side wall of the slot 2 on the other side of the base 1).

[0026] In this embodiment, the fixed conductive plate 3 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the movable conductive plate 41 is arranged in the vertical direction, which are respectively used to contact the bottom and side of the hanger to ensure that the current can be stably transmitted to the hanger.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper part of the slot 2 is V-shaped. The V-shaped opening facilitates the quick positioning and placement of the hanger, and also facilitates the hanger entering the slot 2 of the base 1. The bottom of the lower U-shaped structure is flat, which helps to ensure that the bottom of the hanger is in stable and effective contact with the fixed conductive plate 3. In this embodiment, the side of the slot 2 of the novel conductive base is a movable conductive plate 41, which can both ensure that the hanger is pressed tightly in the slot 2 and ensure stable and effective contact with the side of the hanger.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the fixed conductive plate 3 is arranged horizontally and located at the bottom of the slot 2. The movable conductive plate 41 is arranged vertically, forming one side of the slot 2.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, there are four sets of elastic components, which are arranged circumferentially along the movable conductive plate 41. Each of the four sets of elastic components is mounted on the base 1, and one end of each set is connected to the movable conductive plate 41.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the elastic components include a guide sleeve 42, a guide rod 43, a spring 44, and a connecting plate 45. The guide sleeve 42 is fixedly installed on the base 1 in the horizontal direction, and its interior is a cavity. The spring 44 is installed in the cavity. One end of the guide rod 43 slides in the cavity and contacts the spring 44, while the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 45. The movable conductive plate 41 is installed on the side of the connecting plate 45 away from the guide rod 43.

[0031] When the hanger is placed into slot 2, it presses against the movable conductive plate 41, thereby causing the connecting plate 45 and guide rod 43 to move and press against the spring 44 inside the guide sleeve 42. The spring 44 then provides a reverse elastic force to the movable conductive plate 41 to press the hanger firmly. When the hanger leaves slot 2, the elastic force of the spring 44 pushes the movable conductive plate 41 to move towards the other side of slot 2, and the spring 44 returns to its original state.

[0032] In this embodiment, the movable conductive plate 41 and the connecting plate 45 are connected by bolts. Since the movable conductive plate 41 needs to frequently come into contact with and rub against the side of the hanger, the movable conductive plate 41 may deform or develop surface burrs after a certain period of use, so it needs to be replaced frequently. The bolt connection method facilitates the quick replacement and maintenance of the movable conductive plate 41.

[0033] Furthermore, the fixed conductive plate 3 is connected to the base 1 by bolts. Similarly, the fixed conductive plate 3 contacts and rubs against the bottom of the hanger. After a certain period of use, the fixed conductive plate 3 may deform or develop surface burrs, so it needs to be replaced frequently. The bolt connection method facilitates the quick replacement and maintenance of the fixed conductive plate 3.

[0034] The usage process of the novel conductive base in this embodiment is as follows:

[0035] In actual production, the hanger is transported to the top of the slot 2 of the conductive base by a conveyor. During the fall, it first touches the V-shaped part of the upper part of the slot 2 of the base 1, and then slides to the bottom of the slot 2, i.e. the fixed conductive plate 3. At this time, the movable conductive plate 41 is squeezed by the hanger and pushes the positioning rod to the right to squeeze the spring 44. After the spring 44 is compressed, it generates a reverse elastic force on the movable conductive plate 41, thereby pressing the hanger into the slot 2, thus ensuring that the bottom and side of the hanger are in stable and effective contact with the fixed conductive plate 3 and the movable conductive plate 41, and realizing the stable bidirectional current transmission of the bottom and side.

[0036] When the hanger leaves the slot 2, it rises directly upwards and moves the movable conductive plate 41 a short distance to the right. After the hanger completely leaves the slot 2, the spring 44 moves the movable conductive plate 41 to the left, restoring the initial state.

[0037] The novel conductive base in this embodiment combines a V-shaped conductive base and a U-shaped conductive base, facilitating rapid positioning and placement of the hanger, reducing the requirements for hanger flatness, and increasing hanger life. A movable conductive plate 41 is provided on the side. The movable conductive plate 41, through the elastic force of the elastic component, presses the hanger firmly into the slot 2 of the base 1, thereby ensuring that the bottom and sides of the workpiece can effectively contact the conductive surface, ensuring stable current transmission to the hanger, reducing the electrothermal effect by 50%, and effectively reducing energy consumption. This improves production efficiency and product quality, and reduces maintenance costs. The conductive base adopts a modular design with fewer vulnerable parts, reducing maintenance time and costs, enabling rapid modification of existing production lines, and the modification cost is low, making it easy to promote.

[0038] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary implementations used to illustrate the principles of this utility model, and the utility model is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
