Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of metal surface treatment technology, specifically a nickel plating production line. Background Technology

[0002] Nickel plating is a method of plating a layer of nickel onto a metal or certain non-metal by electrolysis or chemical methods. Nickel plating is divided into electroplating and chemical plating. Barrel plating, also known as drum electroplating, is a type of electroplating. Barrel plating refers to the process of placing a large number of small parts in a rotating container and electroplating them through indirect electrical conduction.

[0003] A prior patent (publication number: CN211999970U) discloses a barrel plating production line, comprising several parallel processing tanks, a barrel body disposed within the processing tanks, and a trolley for lifting the barrel body. The barrel assembly is equipped with a drive assembly, and a stirring assembly is disposed within the barrel body. The stirring assembly includes a connecting rod disposed on the outer wall of a support shaft and a stirring block disposed at the end of the connecting rod away from the support shaft. Multiple connecting rods are arranged along the length of the support shaft, and the distance from the perpendicular line of the side of the stirring block away from the support shaft is less than the radius of the inscribed circle of the barrel body. This invention effectively improves the barrel plating quality of parts.

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned solutions, it was found that in actual use, due to the limited space in the factory, the space for a linear production line is relatively limited when installing some production lines with many processes. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a nickel plating production line, which has the advantages of not being easily restricted by space during installation. It solves the problem that due to limited factory space, the space for a linear production line with many processes is relatively limited during installation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a nickel plating production line, comprising a mounting base plate and a transfer cart. Two guide rails are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate, and two support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the transfer cart. The inner wall of each support leg is slidably connected to the outer surface of the corresponding guide rail. A motor is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the transfer cart, and a sprocket is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. A chain is drivenly connected to the outer surface of the sprocket, and mounting blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the chain. A limit block is slidably connected to the inner wall of each mounting block, and the bottom surface of each limit block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate.

[0007] The above solution involves installing two guide rails on the upper surface of the mounting base and placing the transfer cart on the upper surface of the mounting base. The two support legs connect to the guide rails, allowing the transfer cart to move between two production lines. A motor is installed on the bottom of the transfer cart, and the chain is limited by the connection between the mounting block, the limiting block, and the mounting base. When the motor drives the sprocket to rotate, the sprocket engages with the chain, causing the sprocket to move under the action of the chain. The connection between the motor and the transfer cart allows the transfer cart to slide on the surface of the guide rails, enabling it to switch back and forth between two production lines. This makes the installation of the production lines less subject to space constraints.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the mounting base plate is provided with two movable guide frames, and each movable guide frame has a processing groove fixedly installed on its upper surface.

[0009] The above scheme involves placing the movable guide frame on the upper surface of the mounting base plate. The movable guide frame has equidistant support legs at its bottom, with rollers installed at the bottom of several sets of support legs to facilitate the movement of the entire device. Two slide rails are installed on the upper surface of the movable guide frame, and the processing tanks are placed on the upper surface of the movable guide frame. The processing tanks include degreasing tanks, washing tanks, neutralization tanks, copper plating tanks, acidification tanks, nickel plating tanks, neutralization tanks, and sealing tanks.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the mobile guide frames is provided with a traveling module on its upper surface, and each traveling module is connected to the mobile guide frame via a slider.

[0011] The above solution involves installing the crane module on the upper surface of the moving guide frame, with the bottom surface of the crane module connected to the slide rail on the surface of the moving guide frame. This allows the crane module to move in the direction of the moving guide frame. The crane module is an existing component, including an electroplating roller, a roller lifting assembly, and an assembly that drives the roller to rotate. It can provide drive for the movement of small parts.

[0012] Furthermore, two guide rods are provided above the mounting base plate, and each guide rod has a fixing block installed at both ends. The outer surface of each guide rod is slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding movable guide frame.

[0013] The above scheme involves installing the guide rod above the mounting base plate and connecting the fixing block to the guide rod. The guide rod and the fixing block are slidably connected and fixed with bolts to secure the guide rod. The surface of the guide rod is connected to the support leg of the movable guide frame in a slidable connection to limit the movement of the entire device.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom surface of each of the fixing blocks is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate, and two limiting plates are installed on the upper surface of the mounting base plate.

[0015] The above scheme connects the bottom surface of the fixing block to the upper surface of the mounting base plate to form a fixed connection, thereby achieving the positioning and installation effect of the fixing block. The limiting plate is fixed to the upper surface of the mounting base plate with bolts. The limiting plate can limit the movement of the guide frame and prevent the guide frame from shifting.

[0016] Furthermore, two fasteners are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate, and a connecting rod and a spring are fixedly connected to the left side of each fastener.

[0017] The above method involves installing the fastener on the upper surface of the mounting base plate as a fixed connection to achieve the positioning and installation effect of the fastener. The connecting rod and spring are installed on the left side of the fastener as a fixed connection to achieve the positioning and installation effect of the connecting rod and spring.

[0018] Furthermore, a connecting plate is slidably connected to the outer surface of each connecting rod, and the other end of each spring is fixedly connected to the right side of the corresponding connecting plate.

[0019] The above solution involves installing a connecting plate on the surface of the connecting rod and setting a sliding connection between them to limit the movement of the connecting plate. The other end of the spring is then connected to the connecting plate to form a fixed connection, which can tighten the connecting plate.

[0020] Furthermore, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each connecting plate, and the outer surface of each limiting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding limiting block and fixing member.

[0021] The above scheme involves installing the limiting rod on the inner wall of the connecting plate as a fixed connection. The movement of the connecting plate allows the limiting rod to move. The surface of the limiting rod is connected to the inner wall of the corresponding limiting block and fixing component as a sliding connection. A spring can press the limiting rod tightly, allowing it to insert into the corresponding limiting block, thereby locking the mounting block and facilitating the replacement of loose or damaged chains.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] This nickel plating production line incorporates components such as a transfer cart, guide rails, sprockets, and chains. Guide rails are installed on the upper surface of the mounting base. When the transfer cart needs to move, the motor is activated, causing the sprockets to rotate. The connection between the sprockets and the chain allows the sprockets to move under the influence of the chain, which in turn moves the motor and the transfer cart. This allows the device to continuously operate two production lines using the transfer cart, making the installation less constrained by space limitations. When the chain becomes loose or damaged, pulling the corresponding limit rod causes the connecting plate to slide on the surface of the connecting rod, compressing the spring. At this point, the limit rod releases its restriction on the mounting block, allowing the loose or damaged chain to be disassembled and replaced. Attached Figure Description

The limit rod 17 can be pressed by the spring 20 so that the limit rod 17 is inserted into the corresponding limit block 9, thereby locking the mounting block 8 and facilitating the replacement of loose or damaged chains 7.

[0040] In this embodiment, a nickel plating production line is provided with components such as a transfer cart 2, guide rails 4, sprockets 6, and chains 7. The guide rails 4 are set on the upper surface of the mounting base plate 1. When the transfer cart 2 needs to move, the motor 5 is started to make the sprockets 6 rotate. Through the connection between the sprockets 6 and the chains 7, the sprockets 6 can move under the action of the chains 7, thereby moving the motor 5 and the transfer cart 2. This device can use the transfer cart 2 to continuously operate two production lines, so that the production lines are not easily restricted by space when installed. When the chains 7 become loose or damaged, the corresponding limit rod 17 is pulled to make the connecting plate 16 slide on the surface of the connecting rod 19, so that the spring 20 is compressed. At this time, the limit rod 17 releases the limit on the mounting block 8, and the loose or damaged chains 7 can be disassembled and replaced.

[0041] It should be noted that the traveling module 12 is an existing component, including an electroplating roller, a roller lifting assembly, and a component for driving the roller to rotate, etc. It can provide drive and support for the movement of small parts in the nickel plating operation. Without the action of external force, the spring 20 can always keep the limit rod 17 inserted into the limit block 9.

[0042] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0043] Move the movable guide frame 10 to the designated position, insert the guide rod 13 into the corresponding fixing block 14 and fix it with bolts. Then fix the limiting plate 15 in the designated position with bolts. At this time, the movable guide frame 10 is fixed. When the transfer cart 2 needs to be moved, start the motor 5 to make the sprocket 6 rotate. Through the connection between the sprocket 6 and the chain 7, the sprocket 6 can move under the action of the chain 7, thereby making the transfer cart 2 move. This device can use the transfer cart 2 to continuously connect two production lines, so that the production line installation is not easily restricted by space. When the chain 7 is loose or damaged and needs to be replaced or repaired, pull the corresponding limiting rod 17 to make the connecting plate 16 slide on the surface of the connecting rod 19. At this time, the spring 20 is compressed, and then the limiting rod 17 slides out of the position of the limiting block 9, releasing the limitation on the mounting block 8. Then the loose or damaged chain 7 can be disassembled for replacement and repair. During installation, repeat the above operation and install the chain 7 between the two limiting blocks 9 through the mounting block 8.

[0044] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
