Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to an electroplating device. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is a process that uses electrolysis to deposit metal onto the surface of a workpiece, thereby forming a uniform, dense metal coating with specific properties. It is widely used to improve the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, decorative effect, and certain physical and chemical properties of metal products.

[0003] Traditional electroplating production lines typically require manual handling of workpieces from one process to another (such as cleaning, electroplating, etc.). This method not only increases labor costs but also limits production efficiency. Furthermore, during manual transfer, workpieces are prone to carrying moisture. If residual moisture on the surface is not effectively removed, it may dilute the electroplating solution, affecting its effectiveness and increasing the cost and complexity of subsequent processing.

[0004] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need for an electroplating equipment that can assist in handling and integrate draining functions. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional electroplating production lines, such as low efficiency, increased labor costs, and the fact that workpieces are prone to carrying moisture during transfer, which affects the electroplating quality, this utility model provides an electroplating equipment that can assist in handling and integrate a draining function.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: an electroplating device comprising a processing frame, wherein a cleaning tank, a draining tank, and an electroplating tank are respectively arranged from left to right on the processing frame; one end of an infusion pipe is connected and communicated to the bottom of the draining tank; the other end of the infusion pipe is connected and communicated to the upper part of the cleaning tank; a water pump is installed on the infusion pipe; a guide rail is fixedly connected to the rear side of the processing frame; a slider is slidably arranged on the guide rail; a cylinder is installed on the slider; an L-shaped connecting block is provided at the top of the movable rod of the cylinder; a sliding block is slidably arranged in the lower part of the L-shaped connecting block; inclined protrusions are slidably arranged on both sides of the lower part of the L-shaped connecting block; the inclined surfaces of the inclined protrusions are slidably connected to the sliding blocks; a suspension frame is provided at the top of each tank; and a slot is provided on one side of the top of the suspension frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the water pump is fitted with a protective casing.

[0008] Furthermore, a dual-headed air pump is installed on the upper rear side of the processing frame. Each of the two output ends of the dual-headed air pump is connected to a first air pipe, and the two first air pipes are located on both sides inside the draining tank.

[0009] Furthermore, a second air pipe is connected and communicated with one of the first air pipes, and the second air pipe is arranged around the inside of the electroplating tank.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the draining trough has a conical structure.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting pipe is connected and communicates with the side of the electroplating tank.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. By integrating components such as guide rails, sliders, cylinders, L-shaped connecting blocks, suspension frames, sliding blocks and inclined protrusions, a conveying mechanism is constructed to assist workers in quickly transferring workpieces from cleaning to draining and then to electroplating, reducing labor intensity and improving the speed and efficiency of the entire process. In addition, a draining tank is added between the cleaning process and the electroplating process to control the removal of moisture from the workpieces, avoiding the impact of residual moisture on the subsequent electroplating effect, thereby further ensuring the quality of the electroplated layer.

[0013] 2. By connecting the washing tank and the draining tank with an infusion pipe and configuring a water pump, water resources can be effectively recycled and reused, reducing water consumption and waste, and lowering production costs.

[0014] 3. By adding a dual-head air pump and a first air pipe and a second air pipe, the first air pipe sprays air into the draining tank to accelerate the removal of moisture from the workpiece surface, ensuring that the workpiece reaches the ideal dry state before entering the electroplating tank. The second air pipe supplies air into the electroplating tank, agitates the electrolyte, promotes full contact between the electrolyte and the workpiece, improves the efficiency of the electroplating reaction, and further enhances the quality and uniformity of the electroplated layer.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] First, it should be noted that in different described embodiments, the same components are given the same reference numerals or the same component names. The disclosure contained throughout this specification can be applied semantically to the same components having the same reference numerals or the same component names. The location descriptions selected in the specification, such as upper, lower, and lateral, also refer to the directly described and illustrated figures and are semantically applied to the new location when the location changes.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 An electroplating device includes a processing frame 1, on which a cleaning tank 2, a draining tank 3, and an electroplating tank 4 are respectively arranged from left to right. The bottom of the draining tank 3 has a conical structure 17, designed to effectively guide water flow towards the center for easy drainage. A connecting pipe 18 is connected to the right side of the electroplating tank 4, facilitating the addition of electroplating solution to the tank and ensuring that the concentration and volume of the electrolyte are maintained within the optimal range during the electroplating process. One end of a delivery pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the draining tank 3, and the other end of the delivery pipe 5 is connected to the upper part of the cleaning tank 2 for recirculating the water collected in the draining tank 3 back into the cleaning tank 2. A water pump 6 is installed on the delivery pipe 5 to achieve liquid... The pump 6 is equipped with a protective shell 601, which provides physical protection for the pump 6 and prevents external substances from damaging it. A guide rail 7 is welded to the rear side of the processing frame 1. A slider 8 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 7. A cylinder 9 is mounted on the slider 8. An L-shaped connecting block 10 is provided at the top of the moving rod of the cylinder 9. A sliding block 12 is slidably mounted in the lower part of the L-shaped connecting block 10. Inclined protrusions 13 are slidably mounted on both sides of the lower part of the L-shaped connecting block 10. The inclined surfaces of the inclined protrusions 13 are slidably connected to the sliding blocks 12. A suspension frame 11 is provided at the top of each slot. A slot is provided on the rear side of the top of the suspension frame 11. The inclined protrusions 13 can be inserted into the slot to lock the suspension frame 11.

[0023] When using this device, first remove the hanging brackets 11 from the draining tank 3 and the electroplating tank 4. Then, hang the workpiece to be electroplated on the hanging bracket 11 in the cleaning tank 2 and clean it to remove surface oil, dust, and other impurities. After cleaning, start the cylinder 9, and its moving rod lifts the hanging bracket 11 through the L-shaped connecting block 10. Next, push the slider 8 along the guide rail 7 to the position of the draining tank 3, so that the hanging bracket 11 enters the draining tank 3 for draining to remove moisture from the surface of the workpiece, avoiding moisture affecting the subsequent electroplating effect or diluting the electroplating solution. During the draining process, the dripping water is collected by the draining tank 3 and returned to the cleaning tank 2 through the infusion pipe 5. After draining is completed, move the slider 8 again to guide it to the position of the electroplating tank 4 to begin. After electroplating, pull the sliding block 12 upwards. Since the sliding block 12 is slidably connected to the inclined protrusion 13, as the sliding block 12 moves upwards, it will move upwards along the inclined surface of the inclined protrusion 13, causing the inclined protrusion 13 to retract inwards and eventually disengage from the slot on the suspension bracket 11, thus releasing the lock. At this time, the suspension bracket 11 can be removed and the workpiece can be unloaded. If the suspension bracket 11 needs to be re-fixed, first place the suspension bracket 11 in place and adjust the position of the sliding block 12 so that the inclined protrusion 13 is aligned with the slot. Then pull the sliding block 12 downwards, and the sliding block 12 slides downwards along the inclined surface of the inclined protrusion 13, pushing the inclined protrusion 13 outwards until it is completely locked into the slot, thus completing the locking of the suspension bracket 11.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 5 A dual-head air pump 14 is installed on the upper rear side of the processing frame 1. Each of the two output ends of the dual-head air pump 14 is connected to a first air pipe 15. The two first air pipes 15 are located on the left and right sides inside the draining tank 3, respectively, and are used to dry the workpiece placed in the draining tank 3.

[0025] Please see Figure 5 The first air pipe 15 on the right side is connected to and communicates with a second air pipe 16. The second air pipe 16 is arranged around the inside of the electroplating tank 4 and is used to supply air into the electroplating tank 4.

[0026] During the draining and electroplating operations, the dual-head air pump 14 is started, and the dual-head air pump 14 simultaneously supplies air to the two first air pipes 15. These two first air pipes 15 directly spray air into the draining tank 3, accelerating the removal speed of moisture from the workpiece surface and ensuring that the workpiece reaches the ideal dry state before entering the electroplating tank 4. At the same time, the second air pipe 16, which branches off from one of the first air pipes 15, supplies air to the electrolyte in the electroplating tank 4. By agitating the electrolyte, the contact between it and the workpiece is promoted, improving the efficiency of the electroplating reaction, thereby improving the electroplating efficiency and quality.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
