Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tightening, and specifically refers to an electroplating hanger for electroplating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of another metal or alloy onto the surface of certain metals using the principle of electrolysis. It utilizes electrolysis to coat the surface of metal or other material parts with a metal film, thereby preventing metal oxidation, improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and enhancing aesthetics. Hangers are tools used to suspend and load the electroplated parts, allowing the cathode current to be conducted to them.

[0003] Electroplating racks are designed in various types to suit different parts shapes, plating requirements, electroplating processes, and tank sizes. In electroplating production, racks primarily function to conduct electricity, support, and fix parts. The racks connect to the electrodes, ensuring a more uniform current distribution on the parts for electroplating. In some cases, the properties of the plating solution limit the uniformity of the coating distribution, which can be compensated for by using racks. Therefore, racks play a crucial role in electroplating quality.

[0004] Existing electroplating racks cannot adjust the spacing between supports according to the size of the parts being electroplated, and the cylindrical electroplating support frame is prone to shaking and coming loose.

[0005] Existing technology 202320573418.6 discloses an electroplating hanger that restricts the sliding discs by means of pins and limiting holes, but each one needs to be manually adjusted, which is time-consuming, laborious and affects efficiency. Utility Model Content

Several extension blocks are connected to the brackets for hanging electroplated products, which are arranged in a ring at intervals on the outer wall of multiple first annular sliders. Except for the one located at the bottom of the slide, the telescopic end of each telescopic rod is connected to the adjacent telescopic rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod located at the bottom of the slide is threadedly connected to the extension block of a first annular slider at the bottom of the main body of the hanger rod. Multiple sets of limiting components are provided on the two first annular sliders at the top and bottom of the main body of the hanger rod for limiting.

[0009] Preferably, the multiple sets of limiting components include a pin groove disposed within the first annular slider and having one end extending through the inner wall of the first annular slider; a pin slidably disposed within the pin groove; a spring disposed at the bottom of the pin groove for always pushing the pin toward the main body of the hanger rod; a first slot disposed on the main body of the hanger rod for inserting the pin; a second slot disposed on the main body of the hanger rod located at the top and bottom supports of the main body of the hanger rod for limiting the distance before adjustment; and a pull rod having one end extending through the outer wall of the first annular slider into the pin groove and connected to one end of the pin.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall at the bottom end of the hanging rod body is provided with a threaded groove; the threaded groove is used for threaded connection of multiple second annular sliders with brackets.

[0011] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] This invention improves electroplating efficiency by using a bracket assembly that allows for simultaneous adjustment of the spacing between components, eliminating the need for individual adjustments.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Appendix Figure 1-6The electroplating hanger for electroplating equipment according to this utility model includes a hanger rod body 1, a bracket assembly 26 slidably mounted on the hanger rod body 1 with adjustable spacing for placing electroplated products, a hanging ear 3 mounted on the top of the hanger rod body 1 for hanging on a cylindrical hanger, and a support assembly 4 mounted on the hanging ear 3 with its supporting ends inclined to support both sides of the bottom surface of the cylindrical hanger along its length to prevent the hanger rod body 1 from shaking and becoming detached; the bracket assembly 26 includes a groove disposed inside the hanger rod body 1 with one end penetrating the bottom of the hanger rod body 1, and multiple elongated slides 22 arranged annularly at intervals on the hanger rod body 1, communicating with the groove and extending to the bottom of the hanger rod body 1 with one end open. Multiple telescopic rods 23 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom within the chute; multiple first annular sliders 24 are slidably sleeved on the main body 1 of the hanger rod at each telescopic rod 23; several extension blocks 25 are respectively arranged on the inner wall of the multiple first annular sliders 24 for passing through multiple long slide tracks 22 and extending into the chute, and are threaded to the outer wall of the multiple telescopic rods 23; several brackets 26 are respectively arranged in a ring at intervals on the outer wall of the multiple first annular sliders 24 for hanging electroplated products; except for the one located at the bottom of the chute, the telescopic end of each of the multiple telescopic rods 23 is connected to the adjacent telescopic rod 23; the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 23 located at the bottom of the chute is connected to... At the bottommost end of the hanging rod body 1, an extension block 25 of a first annular slider 24 is threadedly connected to each other; both the top and bottom ends of the first annular sliders 24 of the hanging rod body 1 are provided with multiple sets of limiting components 27 for limiting; the multiple sets of limiting components 27 include a pin groove 271 disposed in the first annular slider 24 with one end passing through the inner wall of the first annular slider 24, a pin 272 slidably disposed in the pin groove 271, a spring 273 disposed at the bottom of the pin groove 271 for always pushing the pin 272 toward the hanging rod body 1, a first slot 274 correspondingly disposed on the hanging rod body 1 for inserting the pin 272, and a slot located at the top of the hanging rod body 1. The end and bottom brackets 26 are used to limit the second slot 275 before the spacing is adjusted, and the pull rod 276 is connected to one end of the pin 272 through the outer wall of the first annular slider 24 and into the pin groove 271. The support assembly 4 includes a fixed plate 44 set on the hanging ear 3, four support rods 41 respectively rotatably set on the four corners of the fixed plate 44, two connecting plates 42 respectively set between the two support rods 41 on the same side of the fixed plate 44 and connected to the two support rods 41 at both ends, and two tension springs 43 respectively set between the two connecting plates 42 on both sides of the hanging ear 3 and connected to the two connecting plates 42 at both ends, pulling the two connecting plates 42 toward the middle of the fixed plate 44.

[0023] Furthermore, a threaded groove 6 is provided on the outer wall at the bottom end of the main body 1 of the hanging rod; the threaded groove 6 is used to thread-connect multiple second annular sliders 5 with brackets 26, thereby increasing the upper limit of the hanging buckle electroplating product and improving the electroplating efficiency of the electroplating product.

[0024] In use: When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the upper and lower brackets 26, hold the pull rod 276 on the first annular slider 24 at the bottom of the hanging rod body 1, and then pull the pull rod 276 to drive the pin 272 out of the second slot 275 and retract it into the pin slot 271. Then the first annular slider 24 at the bottom is released from its limit. Then slide the first annular slider 24 at the bottom towards the bottom of the hanging rod body 1. Then the first annular slider 24 at the bottom drives the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 23 at the bottom of the slide groove to move downward. Then the remaining telescopic rod 23 is released from its limit and moves downward along with the bottom due to gravity. The movement continues downwards, starting with the top telescopic rod 23 at the top of the chute. Once the telescopic end of the top telescopic rod 23 reaches its maximum position, it can no longer move downwards. The second telescopic rod 23 below the top one is then stopped, but the remaining telescopic rods 23 below continue to move downwards. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 23 then moves. When the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 23 reaches its maximum position, the third telescopic rod 23 is stopped. At this point, the remaining telescopic rods 23 below continue to move downwards, and the telescopic end of the third telescopic rod 23 moves, and so on, until the bottom first ring. After slider 24 moves into position, the telescopic ends of all telescopic rods 23 extend to their maximum positions. Then, pull rod 276 is released, and spring 273, having lost resistance, pushes pin 272 towards the hanger rod body 1. Then, one end of pin 272 is inserted into the first slot 274, and the bottommost first annular slider 24 is immediately repositioned. Then, the electroplated product is hung on bracket 26. After hanging, the four support rods 41 at the position of hanging ear 3 are straightened, and then hanging ear 3 is hung on the cylindrical hanger. Then, the four support rods 41 are released, and tension spring 43, having lost resistance, pulls the connecting plates 42 on both sides towards the hanger. As the ear 3 moves, the two connecting plates 42 drive the support rod 41 to rotate in the direction of the ear 3. Then, one end of each of the four support rods 41 is attached to both sides of the bottom surface of the cylindrical bracket. Since the four support rods 41 are inclined and supported on both sides of the ear 3, they can effectively prevent the main body 1 of the hanging rod from swaying in the front, back, left, and right directions, keeping it in a vertical state. When it is not necessary to adjust the distance between the upper and lower brackets 26, the second annular slider 5 can be threaded to the lower end of the main body 1 of the hanging rod. Although this increases the installation time, it also increases the upper limit of the electroplated products of the hook. Increasing the upper limit also indirectly improves the electroplating efficiency.

[0025] The above are merely specific application examples of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
