Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model application relates to the field of zipper oxidation line technology, specifically a zipper oxidation line. Background Technology

[0002] Zippers, as a type of connector that uses continuously arranged teeth to join or separate items, are now widely used in clothing, bags, tents, etc. They are generally composed of teeth, a zipper pull, a front clip, a back clip, or a locking mechanism. Among these, the teeth are the key part, directly determining the zipper's lateral pulling strength. To prevent the teeth from being corroded due to long-term exposure to air or contact with human skin and the accumulation of sweat and other bodily fluids, the surface of the teeth is oxidized.

[0003] The electroplating process of stainless steel zippers mainly includes three stages: pretreatment, electroplating, and posttreatment. Pretreatment mainly involves cleaning and activating the zipper surface to ensure the uniformity and adhesion of the electroplating layer. Currently, most oxidation lines directly enter the electroplating solution for oxidation treatment after cleaning. Water stains on the zipper surface can easily affect the electroplating effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problem that water stains on the zipper surface after cleaning during the oxidation process can easily affect the electroplating effect in existing zipper oxidation lines, this invention provides a zipper oxidation line to solve the aforementioned problem.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A zipper oxidation line includes a processing box and a protective cover. The protective cover is bolted to the top of the processing box. Both ends of the protective cover have inlet and outlet ports. Several partitions are fixed inside the processing box. The processing box is divided into a cleaning chamber, a drying chamber, an electroplating chamber, and a rinsing chamber from left to right by the partitions. Guide rollers are rotatably connected to the bottom and top of the processing box, the outer sides of the inlet and outlet ports, and the top surface of the protective cover. The upper and lower parts of the cleaning chamber and the electroplating chamber are connected to the rear wall of the processing box at the bottom of the rinsing chamber, and water inlets and outlets are fixed through the cleaning chamber and the electroplating chamber. Heating tubes are symmetrically arranged inside the drying chamber. A fan is installed on the protective cover above the drying chamber, with the fan outlet facing the inside of the drying chamber.

[0007] Furthermore, cleaning brushes are symmetrically arranged between the two guide rollers at the bottom of the cleaning chamber. The cleaning brushes are detachably fixed to the inner wall of the treatment box by bolts. First water pipes are symmetrically arranged on the side of the cleaning chamber near the partition plate. Several nozzles are equidistantly arranged on opposite sides of the two first water pipes.

[0008] Furthermore, the electroplating chamber is symmetrically rotatably connected with stirring rods, and each of the two stirring rods is fixed with a pulley at one end extending to the outer side of the rear of the processing box. The two pulleys are connected by a transmission belt, and a servo motor is provided on the outer side of one of the pulleys. The output end of the servo motor is fixed on the pulley.

[0009] Furthermore, a second water pipe is fixed in the lower part of the rinsing chamber, and several nozzles are provided at the bottom and on both sides of the second water pipe. The second water pipe inside the rinsing chamber is located between the guide rollers at both ends.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the two treatment boxes above the first water pipes is rotatably connected to a water-absorbing sponge roller, and a squeezing rod is fixed on the inner wall of the treatment box at the bottom of the water-absorbing sponge roller, the squeezing rod squeezing the bottom of the water-absorbing sponge roller.

[0011] Furthermore, a dust filter is fixed to the air inlet at the top of the fan, and the heating tube inside the drying box is located between the guide rollers at both ends.

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

[0013] 1. In this utility model, by combining wiping and air drying, the water stains on the surface of the zipper can be removed after the zipper is cleaned before it enters the electroplating chamber for anti-oxidation treatment. This solves the problem that water stains on the surface of the zipper after cleaning during the oxidation treatment of existing zipper oxidation lines can easily affect the electroplating effect, thus ensuring the maintenance effect of the zipper oxidation line after electroplating.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the electroplating solution can be stirred during the oxidation process by the stirring at the bottom of the electroplating chamber, which avoids uneven oxidation caused by the precipitation of the electroplating solution. The multi-angle rinsing structure after electroplating can promptly flush away excess electroplating solution, improving the comprehensiveness of the oxidation line treatment.

[0021] To make the purpose, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A zipper oxidation line includes a processing box 1 and a protective cover 2. The protective cover 2 is bolted to the top of the processing box 1. Both ends of the protective cover 2 have inlet / outlet ports 3. Several partition plates 4 are fixed inside the processing box 1. The interior of the processing box 1 is divided into a cleaning chamber 5, a drying chamber 6, an electroplating chamber 7, and a rinsing chamber 8 from left to right by the partition plates 4. Guide rollers 9 are rotatably connected to the bottom and top ends of the processing box 1, as well as to the top surface of the protective cover 2 outside the inlet / outlet ports 3. A second water pipe is fixed to the lower part of the rinsing chamber 8. 18. Several nozzles 22 are provided at the bottom and on both sides of the second water pipe 18. The second water pipe 18 inside the rinsing chamber 8 is located between the guide rollers 9 at both ends. The cleaning chamber 5 and the electroplating chamber 7 are connected to the rear wall of the treatment box 1 at the bottom of the rinsing chamber 8 by inlet and outlet water ports 10. Heating tubes 15 are symmetrically arranged inside the drying box 6. A fan 16 is provided on the protective cover 2 above the drying box 6. The air outlet of the fan 16 faces the inside of the drying box 6. A dust filter is fixed to the air inlet at the top of the fan 16. The heating tubes 15 inside the drying box 6 are located between the guide rollers 9 at both ends.

[0023] Specifically, when the chain needs to be oxidized, the chain is inserted into the processing box 1 through the inlet / outlet 3 of the cleaning chamber 5, passes around the bottom of the guide roller 9, and then enters the drying box 6 along the top of the guide roller 9. It then passes through the electroplating chamber 7 and the rinsing chamber 8. During oxidation, cleaning agent is added into the cleaning chamber 5 through the inlet / outlet 10. When moving, the chain passes through the cleaning agent and is brushed by the cleaning brush 11. After brushing, it enters the drying box 6. At this time, the fan 16 and the heating tube 15 are running to heat and dry the chain. The dried chain enters the electroplating chamber 7, passes through the electroplating solution in the electroplating chamber 7, and enters the rinsing chamber 8. After being rinsed clean in the rinsing chamber 8, it can be pulled out through the inlet / outlet 3 above the rinsing chamber 8 by the winding machine.

[0024] As an optimization solution, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, cleaning brushes 11 are symmetrically arranged between two guide rollers 9 at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 5. The cleaning brushes 11 are detachably fixed to the inner wall of the treatment box 1 by bolts. First water pipes 14 are symmetrically arranged on the side of the cleaning chamber 5 near the partition plate 4. Several nozzles 22 are equidistantly arranged on opposite sides of the two first water pipes 14. Water-absorbing sponge rollers 12 are rotatably connected to the inside of the treatment box 1 above the two first water pipes 14. Extrusion rods 13 are fixed on the inner wall of the treatment box 1 at the bottom of the water-absorbing sponge rollers 12. The extrusion rods 13 extrude the bottom of the water-absorbing sponge rollers 12. Stirring rods 17 are symmetrically rotatably connected inside the electroplating chamber 7. Pulleys 20 are fixed to one end of the two stirring rods 17 extending to the outer side of the rear of the treatment box 1. The two pulleys 20 are connected by a transmission belt 21. A servo motor 19 is arranged on the outer side of one of the pulleys 20. The output end of the servo motor 19 is fixed on the pulley 20.

[0025] Specifically, inside the cleaning chamber 5, the chain passes through the bottom guide roller 9, then through two cleaning brushes 11, the first water pipe 14, and the water-absorbing sponge roller 12. After brushing, it is rinsed by the first water pipe 14 and the nozzle 22. After rinsing, the water-absorbing sponge roller 12 absorbs the water stains on the surface of the chain, and then enters the drying box 6 to clean it. The water stains absorbed by the water-absorbing sponge roller 12 are discharged into the cleaning chamber 5 under the pressure of the squeezing rod 13 after rotating to the position of the squeezing rod 13. When electroplating is performed inside the electroplating chamber 7, the servo motor 19 runs, driving the pulley 20 to rotate. The pulley 20 drives the two stirring rods 17 to rotate simultaneously through the transmission belt 21, stirring the electroplating solution.
