Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating equipment technology, specifically an electroplating device for metal surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] Hardware parts often require electroplating during production. Electroplating equipment is a device used to coat metal onto the surface of other materials. Metal electroplating equipment can improve the corrosion resistance, hardness, conductivity and appearance of hardware parts. It is widely used in industries such as automobiles, home furnishings, and electronic products.

[0003] In current electroplating processes, the metal parts need to be manually poured into the electroplating bath and then retrieved after plating. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. While some existing technologies use mesh frames to hold the workpieces for quick retrieval after plating, these frames become heavy when loaded with a large number of parts, increasing the labor intensity for manual operation and hindering electroplating efficiency. Furthermore, after plating, the metal parts are often covered with plating solution, which can affect subsequent processes. Current methods involve transferring the workpieces to drying equipment or air-drying them, but the presence of moisture on the parts reduces drying efficiency and causes inconvenience. Additionally, the large amount of plating solution carried away by the plating solution results in waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an electroplating equipment for metal surfaces. The feeding component can easily feed the workpiece into the electroplating tank for electroplating treatment, and after electroplating, the workpiece can be sent out. The two work together to feed and unload at the same time, forming a continuous processing process, which greatly improves the efficiency of electroplating treatment and makes it easier to control the electroplating time of the workpiece, thereby improving the electroplating effect. Secondly, the water control component pre-treats the workpiece after electroplating, separating the large amount of electroplating liquid adhering to the surface of the workpiece to avoid affecting the drying efficiency of the workpiece. The separated electroplating liquid is stored for reuse, reducing the waste of electroplating liquid.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an electroplating device for metal surfaces includes: a housing 1, with a partition 11 fixedly connected inside the housing 1, the partition 11 dividing the interior of the housing 1 into an electroplating tank 12 and a recycling tank 13; a mounting frame 14 fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1; and a conveyor belt 15 provided on the back side of the housing 1; a feeding assembly, which is mounted on the mounting frame 14 and is used to feed the workpiece into the electroplating tank 12 for electroplating; and a water control assembly, which is mounted on the inner wall of the mounting frame 14 and is used to reduce the moisture on the workpiece.

[0029] When electroplating a workpiece, the electroplating solution is poured into the electroplating tank 12, and then the workpiece is placed into the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly continuously transports the workpiece into the electroplating tank 12. Then, the electroplating equipment in the electroplating tank 12 starts to electroplat the workpiece. After the electroplating is completed, the workpiece is taken out of the electroplating tank 12. Next, the water control assembly can separate the electroplating solution adhering to the workpiece, so as to avoid excessive water stains on the surface of the workpiece from affecting the next processing step, and facilitate the rapid drying of the workpiece.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Embodiment 1, the feeding assembly includes: a pressing roller 2, a fixed plate 21, a conveying roller 22, a support roller 23, a conveyor belt 24, and a loading frame 25. Two pressing rollers 2 are rotatably connected between the inner walls of opposite sides near the bottom of the electroplating tank 12. Two fixed plates 21 are fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 14. Conveying rollers 22 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of opposite sides of the mounting frame 14 and the two fixed plates 21, and support rollers 23 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of opposite sides of the mounting frame 14. The two pressing rollers 2, the two conveying rollers 22, and the two support rollers 23... A conveyor belt 24 is connected between the two sides. Several loading frames 25 are provided on the outside of the conveyor belt 24. Several pairs of mounting plates 26 are fixedly connected to the outside of the conveyor belt 24. Mounting rods 27 are fixedly connected between two mounting plates 26. Connecting frames 28 are fixedly connected to the top of the loading frames 25 respectively. Hooks 29 are fixedly connected to the top of each of the two connecting frames 28. Windows 210 are opened on opposite sides of the mounting frame 14. A drive motor 211 is fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting frame 14. One end of the drive shaft of the drive motor 211 is connected to the rotating shaft of the conveyor roller 22.

[0032] When processing the workpiece, the workpiece is placed into the loading frame 25. Two hooks 29 on the loading frame 25 are hung on the mounting rod 27 through the window 210. Then, the drive motor 211 is started, driving the connected conveyor roller 22 to rotate. As the conveyor roller 22 rotates, it moves the conveyor belt 24. Two pressing rollers 2 restrict the movement of the conveyor belt 24, causing it to penetrate into the electroplating tank 12. The conveyor belt 24 is a metal mesh chain. Two support rollers 23 change the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 24, giving it an L-shaped structure. As the conveyor belt 24 moves, it drives the loading frame 25 through the two mounting plates 26, the mounting rod 27, and the connecting frame 28. The conveyor belt 24 moves a distance of two units relative to the mounting plates 26 each time, then stops for a period of time. The loading frame 25 moves towards the electroplating tank 12 under these conditions. Then, the empty mounting rod 27 is replaced, and the operator continues to hang the loading frame 25 containing the workpiece. After the loading frame 25 enters the electroplating tank 12, it undergoes electroplating. After the workpiece is electroplated, the loading frame 25 is carried out of the electroplating tank 12 by the conveyor belt 24. When it is carried out, the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 12 flows out. Finally, the loading frame 25 is moved out of the window 210 on the other side, the loading frame 25 is removed from the mounting rod 27, the workpiece inside the loading frame 25 is emptied, and the empty loading frame 25 is placed on the conveyor belt 15. The empty loading frame 25 is moved to the window 210 on the other side by the conveyor belt 15 so that the loading personnel can use the loading frame 25 to load and unload the workpiece. In this way, loading and unloading are carried out simultaneously, forming a continuous processing step, thereby improving the efficiency of electroplating the workpiece.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] Based on Embodiment 1, the water control assembly includes: a fixed rod 3, a blower 31, a blower 32, and an air supply pipe 33. Multiple fixed rods 3 are fixedly connected between the inner walls of the mounting frame 14 on both sides. Blowers 31 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the mounting frame 14 on both sides near the multiple fixed rods 3. The multiple fixed rods 3 and multiple blowers 31 are arranged in a straight line and tilted downwards. A blower 32 is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt 15. An air supply pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the output end of the blower 32. The air supply pipe 33 is connected to one end of the blower 31 for conduction.

[0035] After being brought out of the electroplating tank 12, the loading frame 25 moves towards the fixed plate 21. During the movement, the bottom of the loading frame 25 contacts the fixed rod 3. Under the action of the fixed rod 3, the loading frame 25 shifts to one side, causing the hook 29 to move outside the mounting rod 27. After the loading frame 25 passes the fixed rod 3, it becomes perpendicular to the ground under the action of gravity. Under the action of inertia, the loading frame 25 swings back and forth. When the loading frame 25 swings, it helps to shake off the electroplating liquid on the workpiece, allowing the electroplating liquid to be quickly separated from the workpiece. During electroplating, the blower 32 is started. The blower 32 draws in fresh air from outside and delivers it to the air supply pipe 33. The fresh air is then delivered to multiple blowers 31 through the air supply pipe 33. The fresh air is sprayed out from the air outlet of the blower 31. The sprayed airflow blows onto the loading frame 25 and contacts the workpiece through the mesh on the loading frame 25. The high-speed airflow blows away the electroplating liquid on the surface of the workpiece.

[0036] Example 4

[0037] Based on Example 1, a water pump 4 is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt 15. A water pump pipe 41 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 4. One end of the water pump pipe 41 is connected to the inside of the recycling tank 13. A water delivery pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 4. One end of the water delivery pipe 42 is connected to the inside of the electroplating tank 12. Support bars 43 are fixed on the inner walls of opposite sides of the recycling tank 13. Filter screens 44 are provided on the two support bars 43. A drain pipe 45 is provided on the front side of the electroplating tank 12.

[0038] The separated electroplating solution falls into the recycling tank 13. The dripping electroplating solution is filtered through the filter screen 44 to remove impurities. The clean electroplating solution falls into the recycling tank 13 and is collected there. When the electroplating solution stored in the recycling tank 13 is needed again, the water pump 4 is started to extract the electroplating solution collected in the recycling tank 13 through the water pumping pipe 41 and transport it to the electroplating tank 12 through the drain pipe 45.
