[0002] During the electroplating process, moisture and solvents may remain on the surface of the workpiece. These residues may affect the adhesion and quality of the electroplated layer. Drying equipment is usually used to remove residual moisture and solvents from the surface of the workpiece. This equipment needs to be able to quickly and effectively remove moisture and solvents from the surface of the electroplated workpiece to ensure the quality and durability of the electroplated layer.

[0003] Drying equipment can quickly remove moisture and solvents from the surface of workpieces, thereby reducing waiting time and improving production efficiency. Rapid drying can shorten the entire electroplating process cycle and increase production capacity. However, after the existing drying equipment dries the surface of the electroplated workpiece, workers need to manually or use tools to turn the workpiece over and continue the drying process. This inevitably affects the workers or causes damage to the electroplated layer of the workpiece during clamping. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for electroplating processes, which addresses the problem that existing drying equipment requires workers to manually or with tools flip the workpieces over after drying the electroplated surface, which inevitably affects workers or damages the electroplated layer of the workpiece during clamping.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for electroplating processing, comprising: a support base and a warm air blower, one end of which is fixedly connected to a ventilation pipe, and the lower end of which is fixedly connected to an air outlet duct, a support base is slidably connected to the upper end of the support base, a first placement tray is provided at the upper end of the support base, a second placement tray is provided at the upper end of the support base, a support member is fixedly connected to the outer end of the support base, a short rod is rotatably connected to the inner end of the support member, a long rod is rotatably connected to the inner end of the short rod, a placement groove is opened at the upper end of the first placement tray, and a guide pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first placement tray.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom of the first placement tray is fixedly connected to the other end of the arc-edge limiting plug, the other end of the support base box is provided with an arc-edge bottom slot, and the bottom of the second placement tray is also provided with an arc-edge limiting plug structure, the arc-edge limiting plug being adapted to the arc-edge bottom slot.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: the support base box has an inclined bottom groove inside, the outer end of the first placement tray is fixedly connected to a handle, and the outer end of the second placement tray is also provided with a handle structure.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a drain pipe is provided at the other end of the support base box, and a pipe cap is threadedly connected to the outside of the drain pipe, and the drain pipe is connected to the support base box through.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the other end of the ventilation pipe is fixedly connected to the support base, and there are two sets of both the support member and the short rod, with the two sets of the support member symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support base.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the other two ends of the first placement tray are respectively fixedly connected to the two sets of short rods, and the other two ends of the second placement tray are fixedly connected to the long rods.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the other end of the guide tube passes through the first placement tray and is connected to the placement groove, and the second placement tray is also provided with a placement groove and a guide tube structure.

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

[0013] In this invention, a heater sends hot air into a ventilation duct and out through an air outlet to dry the workpiece on the first placement tray. Due to the structural design of the placement groove, residual moisture and solvent evaporate during the drying process, while the remaining portion slides down the edge of the groove to its bottom and enters a connected guide pipe, finally flowing into the support base box. This not only achieves the purpose of drying the workpiece but also accelerates the flow of liquid on the workpiece surface until it detaches from the workpiece, improving the efficiency of the drying operation. Through the connection between the support base box, placement tray one, placement tray two, support components, short rods, and long rods, placement tray two can be rotated to cover placement tray one. Then, rotating placement tray one and placement tray two together returns placement tray two to its original position, and rotating placement tray one again detaches it from the placement tray. Above the second part, push the support base box to the bottom of the air outlet to continue drying. This allows the workpiece to be turned around and processed on the other side without contacting it, making it convenient for workers. This avoids the impact on workers when manually turning the workpiece over for further drying, and the damage to the electroplating layer caused by using tools to hold it. With the setting of the arc-edge limiting block and the arc-edge bottom slot, when the workpiece tray one or workpiece tray two is rotated and lowered, the arc-edge limiting block will insert into the arc-edge bottom slot to limit the workpiece tray one or workpiece tray two and prevent them from shifting when the hot air blows. With the setting of the inclined bottom groove inside the support base, after the liquid flows into the inclined bottom groove and a certain amount is collected, the pipe cap can be loosened to allow the liquid to be discharged from the drain pipe, making it more convenient and practical to use.

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

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a drying device for electroplating includes: a support base 1 and a heater 2. One end of the heater 2 is fixedly connected to a ventilation pipe 3, and the lower end of the ventilation pipe 3 is fixedly connected to an air outlet 4. A support base 5 is slidably connected to the upper end of the support base 1. A first placement tray 6 is provided at the upper end of the support base 5, and a second placement tray 7 is provided at the upper end of the support base 5. A support member 8 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the support base 5. A short rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inner end of the support member 8, and a long rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inner end of the short rod 9. A placement groove 11 is opened at the upper end of the first placement tray 6, and a guide pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first placement tray 6.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5The bottom of the first placement tray 6 is fixedly connected to an arc-edge limiting plug 13 at one end. An arc-edge bottom slot 14 is provided at the other end of the support base box 5. The bottom of the second placement tray 7 also has an arc-edge limiting plug 13 structure, which is compatible with the arc-edge bottom slot 14. An inclined bottom groove 15 is provided inside the support base box 5. A handle 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer side of the first placement tray 6. A handle 16 is also provided at one end of the outer side of the second placement tray 7. A drain pipe 17 is provided at the other end of the support base box 5, with a threaded connection on the outer side of the drain pipe 17. The tube cap 18 is connected to the drain pipe 17, which is connected to the support base box 5. The other end of the ventilation pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the support seat 1. There are two sets of support members 8 and short rods 9. The two sets of support members 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support seat 1. The other two ends of the placement tray 1 6 are fixedly connected to the two sets of short rods 9 respectively. The other two ends of the placement tray 2 7 are fixedly connected to the long rod 10. The other end of the guide pipe 12 passes through the placement tray 1 6 and is connected to the placement groove 11. The placement tray 2 7 is also equipped with the placement groove 11 and guide pipe 12 structure.

[0024] The above solution involves sending hot air from the heater 2 into the ventilation pipe 3 and out through the air outlet 4 to dry the workpieces on the placement tray 6. Due to the structural design of the placement groove 11, the residual moisture and solvent will evaporate during the drying process, while the remaining part will slide down the edge of the placement groove 11 to its bottom and enter the guide pipe 12 connected to it, and finally be transferred into the support base box 5. This not only achieves the purpose of drying the workpieces, but also improves the efficiency of the drying operation.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the electroplated workpiece is placed in the placement slot 11 of the placement tray 16. Hot air is sent into the ventilation pipe 3 by the heater 2 and exited through the air outlet 4 to dry the workpiece in the placement tray 16. Due to the structural design of the placement slot 11, residual moisture and solvent evaporate during the drying process, while the remaining portion slides down the edge of the placement slot 11 to its bottom and enters the connected guide pipe 12, finally flowing into the support base box 5. This not only achieves the purpose of drying the workpiece but also accelerates the flow of liquid on the workpiece surface until it detaches from the workpiece body, improving the efficiency of the drying operation. When there is no residual liquid on the upper part of the workpiece, the support base box 5 is removed from the support seat 1. Then, through the connection between the support base box 5, placement tray 16, placement tray 27, support 8, short rod 9, and long rod 10, placement tray 27 can be rotated to cover placement tray 16. Finally, placement tray 16 and placement tray 27 are placed together. Rotate together to return the second placement tray 7 to its original position, then rotate the first placement tray 6 to remove it from above the second placement tray 7. Then push the support base box 5 under the air outlet hopper 4 to continue drying. In this way, the orientation of the workpiece can be turned around to continue processing on the other side without contacting the workpiece. This is convenient for workers and avoids the impact on workers when manually operating the workpiece to continue drying, as well as the damage to the electroplating layer of the workpiece caused by using tools to hold it. With the setting of the arc edge limiting plug 13 and the arc edge bottom slot 14, when the first placement tray 6 or the second placement tray 7 is rotated and lowered, the arc edge limiting plug 13 will insert into the arc edge bottom slot 14 to limit the placement tray 6 or the second placement tray 7 and prevent them from shifting when the hot air blows. With the setting of the inclined bottom groove 15 inside the support base 1, after the liquid flows into the inclined bottom groove 15 and a certain amount is collected, the pipe cover 18 can be loosened to allow the liquid to be discharged from the drain pipe 17, making it more convenient and practical to use.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
