Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to surface treatment technical field, concretely relates to a kind of auxiliary tool for part center hole chrome plating. BACKGROUND
[0002] Referring to Figure 1 A bearing seat has a center hole, and the bearing seat has a radial outwardly extending lug at one end, and the lug is symmetrically provided with a mounting through hole. When the bearing seat center inner surface appears slight scratch and wear and tear, the bearing seat can still be used normally, but when there is serious scratch and wear and tear, and the bearing matching surface roundness and cylindricity is greater than 0.015mm, it needs to be ground and re-chromed repaired, the bearing seat center hole inner wall and end face need to be thickened and plated with chromium, and the remaining surface is not allowed to have a chromium layer, and the finished product needs to be ground by a machine tool to ensure the shape and position tolerances of the product.
[0003] When traditional chromic anhydride plating solution is directly applied to the bearing seat, it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of the chromium plating layer, and since the inner diameter of the center hole of the bearing seat is generally The chromium plating area is large, the internal profile of the center hole is complex, and there are two chromium plating surfaces (the inner wall of the center hole and the end face) at the same time, it is difficult to deposit a chromium plating layer on the end face of the center hole during electroplating, and long-term electroplating is very prone to problems such as uneven thickness of the plating layer and local accumulation of the chromium layer. A Chinese patent with patent number 202221342095.1 discloses an end cover inner diameter chrome plating tool that can protect the non-electroplated surface while electroplating and repairing the inner wall of the inner hole, but the tool can only repair the inner wall of the inner hole and cannot simultaneously electroplate and repair the end face of the inner hole.
[0004] To realize electroplating repair of the two plating surfaces, the traditional operation method is to use copper wire binding as a part cathode conductive path to electroplate chromium on the two electroplated surfaces of the part in steps. After one electroplating, electroplatable paint or electrician's insulating tape is used to insulate and protect the already electroplated part, and then electroplating chromium on the other electroplated surface is performed. The preparation time required for the second electroplating protection is longer, and the plating layer stability is poor due to the influence of the shape of the part during the second electroplating. The internal current of the part concentrates at the sharp corner during electroplating, resulting in uneven deposition of the plating layer of the part. It has been verified through practice that long-term electroplating cannot achieve the required size, cannot meet the repair requirements of the bearing seat, and the finished product rate is low.

[0035] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, which are exemplary and intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0036] Embodiment one
[0037] With reference to Figure 2 , the present embodiment takes a bearing seat as an example, and provides an auxiliary tool for electroplating chromium on a center hole of a part. The bearing seat has a support lug extending radially outward at one end, and the support lug is symmetrically provided with mounting holes. The auxiliary tool for electroplating chromium includes a hook 1, an electrically conductive rod 2, an electrically conductive support 3, a pictograph anode 4, an insulating gasket 5, and a nut 6. The hook 1, the electrically conductive rod 2, and the electrically conductive support 3 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, and the hook 1 and the electrically conductive rod 2, and the electrically conductive rod 2 and the electrically conductive support 3 are fixed by welding. The electrically conductive support 3 is a U-shaped support with an opening facing downward, and the electrically conductive rod 2 is vertically fixed at the top center position of the U-shaped electrically conductive support. The U-shaped electrically conductive support 3 is rod-shaped, and the two end portions of the opening end of the electrically conductive support are provided with external threads.
[0038] The insulating gasket 5 is disc-shaped and horizontally arranged at the opening end of the electrically conductive support 3, and the insulating gasket is symmetrically provided with two process holes matched with the two end portions of the electrically conductive support 3. A center through hole coaxial with the electrically conductive rod 2 is further formed in the middle of the insulating gasket 5, and the pictograph anode is coaxially nested in the center through hole of the insulating gasket 5. The insulating gasket 5 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material.
[0039] The bearing seat to be electroplated is coaxially arranged below the insulating gasket 5, and the two end portions of the electrically conductive support pass through the mounting holes in the support lug of the bearing seat, and the bearing seat and the electrically conductive support are fixedly connected by the nut 6, so as to realize the indirect connection between the bearing seat and the power supply cathode and provide the cathode potential. After installation, the bearing seat does not contact the pictograph anode located in the center hole thereof, and under the joint action of the insulating gasket 5, the bearing seat and the pictograph anode are insulated from each other, so as to avoid the problems such as electric shock of the part caused by short circuit of the circuit during the electroplating process.
[0040] With reference to Figure 3The icon-shaped anode 4 comprises coaxially connected first and second shafts from top to bottom, and has stepped through holes along its axis, with large holes in the second shaft and small holes in the first shaft. The second shaft is coaxially nested in the central through hole of the insulating liner 5, and the diameter of the first shaft is larger than the inner diameter of the central through hole of the insulating liner. The outer profile of the second shaft and the inner profile of the central hole thereof are consistent with the shape of the central hole of the bearing seat, so as to ensure the plating speed and uniformity of the plating layer of the end face and inner wall of the central hole during electroplating. The icon-shaped anode 4 has a vertically arranged terminal post 7 at the top thereof, which is used to connect the icon-shaped anode 4 with the anode of a power supply through a wire 7 to provide an anode potential.

[0042] Embodiment two
[0043] Although the icon-shaped anode made of lead-antimony alloy is an insoluble anode during electroplating, the lead-antimony alloy has a soft texture, and long-term wear may cause the size of the icon-shaped anode to decrease, so that the icon-shaped anode cannot reliably cooperate with the insulating liner 5, and is prone to shaking or eccentricity, and there is a risk that the icon-shaped anode contacts the electroplated bearing cover or causes uneven plating layer. In order to avoid the foregoing problems, the embodiment further designs an additional insulating liner 8 and a pressing assembly 9. The additional insulating liner 8 is coaxially fixed to the top of the insulating liner 5, and the top surface of the additional insulating liner is flush with the top surface of the icon-shaped anode. The central through hole of the additional insulating liner is in shaft hole cooperation with the first shaft of the icon-shaped anode, so as to radially limit the icon-shaped anode. The pressing assembly 9 is installed on the top of the additional insulating liner 8 and the icon-shaped anode, and is used to axially press and fix the icon-shaped anode in the inner hole of the insulating liner 5 and the inner hole of the additional insulating liner 8. Specifically, the pressing assembly is two and is symmetrically arranged. The pressing assembly comprises a pressing plate and an insulating nut. The lower surface of the pressing plate is in contact with the top surface of the top of the additional insulating liner 8 and the icon-shaped anode, and the top of the icon-shaped anode is axially fixed with the pressing plate through the insulating nut.
[0044] Specifically, the additional insulating liner 8 is coaxially bonded and fixed with the insulating liner 5. The additional insulating liner 8 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material.
[0045] The above merely illustrates the specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and these modifications or replacements shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
