Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Electroplating is a common process in metal processing. It involves using the principle of electrolysis to plate a thin layer of other metals or alloys onto the surface of certain metals. This process helps prevent metal oxidation, improves wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and enhances aesthetics. To ensure the quality of the electroplated coating, the metal parts need to be cleaned in an oil removal tank before electroplating to remove residual oil from the metal surface.

[0003] In conventional plating production lines, the metal parts to be plated need to be manually placed in an oil removal tank. After the oil removal is completed, the metal parts are retrieved from the oil removal tank and collected. Finally, the metal parts are transferred to an electroplating tank for electroplating. This method requires workers to frequently retrieve the electroplating metal, which reduces the efficiency of plating metal loading and has obvious shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the efficiency of electroplating material feeding, this application provides an electroplating material feeding device.

[0005] The electroplating feeding device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An electroplating feeding device includes a frame, on which an electroplating tank and an oil removal tank are disposed. A support assembly is disposed on the frame, the support assembly including a support frame slidably connected along the length of the frame, multiple hanging rods with hooks on them, and a conveying assembly on the frame. The conveying assembly includes a conveying screw and a guide rod respectively disposed on opposite sides of the frame. The conveying screw is rotatably connected to the frame and has a connecting block threaded onto it. A guide block is slidably connected to the guide rod. The opposite sides of the support frame are respectively disposed on the connecting block and the guide block. A lifting component for driving the support frame to rise and fall is disposed on the frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, workers suspend the plated parts on hooks. Then, the lifting mechanism drives the support frame to descend, and the support frame immerses the plated parts on the hanging rods in the degreasing tank for degreasing. After degreasing, the lifting mechanism drives the support frame to rise until the plated parts are removed from the degreasing tank. Then, the motor is started, and the motor drives the conveying screw to rotate. Under the connection of the guide rod and the guide block, the conveying screw drives the connecting block to move. The connecting block drives the plated parts on the support frame to move towards the electroplating tank. When the plated parts move above the electroplating tank, the lifting mechanism drives the support frame to descend again, and the plated parts enter the electroplating tank for electroplating. The loading process is then complete. This setup realizes the automated operation of electroplating loading. During the loading process, there is no need for manual retrieval and transfer of the plated parts from the degreasing tank to the electroplating tank, avoiding tedious retrieval and transfer operations and improving the efficiency of electroplating loading.

[0008] Optionally, the lifting component includes electric cylinders mounted on the connecting block and the guide block, with the output shafts of both electric cylinders fixedly connected to the support frame.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the support frame is lifted and lowered by an electric cylinder, thereby realizing the placement and removal of the plated parts. At the same time, the speed of the plated parts falling and rising can be controlled manually by the electric cylinder, avoiding the possibility of liquid splashing into the degreasing tank and electroplating solution due to the rapid movement of the plated parts.

[0010] Optionally, a support plate is provided between the electroplating tank and the degreasing tank. Sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the support plate. A movable plate is slidably connected in the sliding grooves. Multiple brush rods are rotatably connected on the movable plate. Each brush rod is located between two adjacent hanging rods. The brushes of the brush rods are made of water-absorbing material. First magnetic blocks are provided on both sides of the support frame. Second magnetic blocks that attract and cooperate with the first magnetic blocks are provided on both sides of the movable plate. A rotating assembly is provided on the movable plate to drive the multiple brush rods to rotate synchronously.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the lifting component drives the plated part to leave the degreasing tank, the driving component drives the support frame to move towards the electroplating tank. When the first magnetic block on the support frame is in contact with the second magnetic block on the moving plate, the support frame drives the moving plate to move along the sliding groove of the electroplating tank. During the movement, the rotating component drives the brush rod to rotate. The brush rod drives the brush to continuously contact the plated part. The brush absorbs the degreasing liquid remaining on the surface of the plated part, avoiding the adverse effects of the degreasing liquid mixing into the electroplating tank and improving the plating quality of the plated part.

[0012] Optionally, the rotating assembly includes a gear fixedly connected coaxially to the brush rod. The gear is rotatably disposed on the outer surface of the moving plate, and multiple gears mesh with each other. A rack plate is disposed between the electroplating tank and the degreasing tank. The rack plate meshes with one of the gears, and the length direction of the rack plate is parallel to the length direction of the sliding groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support frame is connected to the moving plate through the adsorption of the first and second magnetic blocks, the movement of the support frame drives the moving plate to move along the rack plate. At this time, the gear meshing with the rack plate rolls along the rack plate. Under the transmission of multiple gears meshing with each other, the synchronous rotation of multiple brush rods is realized. During the rotation of the brush rod, the brushes at different positions of the brush rod are in contact with the outer surface of the plated part, ensuring that the brushes on the brush rod absorb the residual degreasing liquid evenly. At the same time, the rotating brushes continuously brush the plated part, which can better break the adsorption force between the residual liquid and the surface of the plated part, making the liquid easier to be absorbed by the brushes and improving the cleaning effect of the brush rods on the plated part.

[0014] Optionally, the hook is provided with an anti-detachment component, the hook has a groove, a baffle is hinged to the inner wall of the groove, the end of the hook away from the groove has an arc groove that slides with the baffle, the hook is provided with a mounting plate, the mounting plate is internally threaded with an adjusting screw, the hook is provided with a guide sleeve that slides with the adjusting screw, and the end of the adjusting screw away from the mounting plate is hinged to the end of the baffle away from the arc groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the adjusting screw rotates, the end of the adjusting screw moves up and down in the vertical direction. The movement of the adjusting screw pushes the baffle to swing around the hinge point with the groove. When the plated part is suspended on the hook, the baffle swings into the arc groove, thereby sealing the opening of the hook. This prevents the plated part from falling off the hook due to buoyancy when entering the degreasing tank and electroplating tank, ensuring the stability of the electroplating feeding process and thus improving the efficiency of electroplating feeding.

[0016] Optionally, the baffle is provided with multiple liquid permeation holes.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid permeation hole allows the liquid to flow smoothly around the hook. The liquid fully wets the connection area between the workpiece and the hook through the liquid permeation hole, avoiding the formation of local liquid flow obstruction or liquid accumulation dead corners due to the presence of the baffle, thus ensuring the uniformity of electroplating or degreasing in this area.

[0018] Optionally, the brushes on two adjacent brush rods are arranged alternately.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the staggered brush heads are more evenly and densely distributed on the surface of the plated parts, increasing the contact area between the brush and the surface of the plated parts, thereby improving the consistency of the surface cleanliness of the plated parts and avoiding the situation where some areas are over-cleaned while others are under-cleaned, thus improving the plating quality of the plated parts in the electroplating bath.

[0020] Optionally, the support frame is coated with an insulating layer.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the electroplating current needs to be transmitted to the workpiece to be plated during the processing. The insulating coating reduces the possibility of the carrier being conductive, thereby reducing the possibility of accidents during the electroplating process and improving work safety.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. This application sets up a bearing component, a conveying component, and a lifting component. The bearing component carries the plated parts, the conveying component transfers the plated parts between the degreasing tank and the electroplating tank, and the lifting component moves the plated parts up and down. This setup achieves automated operation of electroplating feeding. During the feeding process, there is no need for manual retrieval and transfer of the plated parts from the degreasing tank to the electroplating tank, avoiding tedious retrieval and transfer operations and improving the efficiency of electroplating feeding.

[0024] 2. By setting up brush rods and a rotating assembly, after the plated part is taken out of the degreasing tank, the rotating assembly drives multiple brush rods to rotate synchronously. The brush rods drive the brushes to continuously contact the plated part, and the brushes absorb the degreasing liquid remaining on the surface of the plated part, thus avoiding the adverse effects of the degreasing liquid mixing into the electroplating tank and improving the plating quality of the plated part.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses an electroplating feeding device.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 An electroplating feeding device includes a frame 1, on which an oil removal tank 2 and an electroplating tank 3 are fixedly installed. The oil removal tank 2 stores an oil removal solution for removing oil stains from the surface of the workpiece to be plated, and the electroplating tank 3 stores an electroplating solution for electroplating. A support assembly 4 for supporting the workpiece to be plated is provided on the frame 1. The support assembly 4 includes a support frame 41 slidably connected in the length direction of the frame 1. The support frame 41 is vertically arranged and has a gate shape. Multiple hanging rods 42 are evenly installed on the support frame 41 at equal intervals. In this embodiment, there are three hanging rods 42. Each hanging rod 42 is fixedly connected to a hook 43. The outer surface of the support frame 41 is coated with an insulating layer to reduce the possibility of accidents caused by the conductivity of the support frame 41.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to ensure the stability of the plated parts when they enter the degreasing tank 2 or the electroplating tank 3, the hook 43 is provided with an anti-detachment component 5. Specifically, a groove 431 is provided on the end face of the hook 43 away from the hook part, and a baffle 51 is hinged between the inner sidewalls opposite to the groove 431. The baffle 51 is provided with multiple liquid permeation holes 511 so that the degreasing liquid or electroplating liquid can fully contact the workpiece.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The end of the hook 43 away from the groove 431 is provided with an arc groove 432 that slides with the baffle 51. An installation plate 52 is fixedly connected to the outer end face of the hook 43 away from the arc groove 432. An adjusting screw 53 is internally threaded to the installation plate 52. A guide sleeve 54 that slides with the adjusting screw 53 is fixedly connected to the hook 43. The length direction of the guide sleeve 54 is parallel to the vertical direction. The end of the adjusting screw 53 away from the installation plate 52 is hinged to the end of the baffle 51 away from the arc groove 432.

[0035] When the workpiece needs to be suspended on the hook 43, the worker rotates the adjusting screw 53 in the forward direction. Since the adjusting screw 53 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 52 and the guide sleeve 54 restricts the adjusting screw 53 from moving in the vertical direction, the adjusting screw 53 moves downward during the rotation of the adjusting screw 53. The movement of the adjusting screw 53 pushes the baffle 51 to swing upward around the hinge point with the receiving groove. The end of the baffle 51 disengages from the arc groove 432, thereby releasing the blockage on the hook 43 and making it convenient for the workpiece to be suspended on the hook 43.

[0036] After the workpiece is suspended on the hook 43, the adjusting screw 53 is rotated in the opposite direction. The adjusting screw 53 moves upward, causing the baffle 51 to swing downward around the hinge point with the receiving groove. The baffle 51 swings into the arc groove 432, thereby blocking the opening of the hook 43. This prevents the workpiece from falling off the hook 43 due to buoyancy when it enters the degreasing tank 2 or the electroplating tank 3, ensuring the stability of the electroplating feeding process and thus improving the efficiency of electroplating feeding.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The frame 1 is equipped with a conveying assembly 6 and a lifting component 7. The conveying assembly 6 includes a conveying screw 61 and a guide rod 62 disposed on opposite sides of the frame 1. The length directions of the conveying screw 61 and the guide rod 62 are parallel to the length direction of the frame 1. A motor 63 for driving the conveying screw 61 to rotate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the frame 1. A connecting block 64 is threadedly connected to the conveying screw 61, and a guide block 65 is slidably connected to the guide rod 62. The lifting component 7 includes an electric cylinder 71 fixedly installed on the connecting block 64 and the guide block 65. The output shafts of the two electric cylinders 71 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two end frames of the support frame 41, and the moving direction of the output shafts of the electric cylinders 71 is perpendicular to the length direction of the frame 1.

[0038] The worker suspends the plated parts on hook 43, starts electric cylinder 71, which drives the support frame 41 to descend. The support frame 41 carries the plated parts on hanging rod 42 into the degreasing tank 2 for degreasing. After degreasing, electric cylinder 71 drives the support frame 41 to rise until the plated parts are removed from the degreasing tank 2. Then, motor 63 is started, which drives the conveying screw 61 to rotate. Under the connection of guide rod 62 and guide block 65, the conveying screw 61 drives the connecting block 64 to move. The connecting block 64 drives the plated parts on the support frame 41 to move towards the electroplating tank 3. When the plated parts move above the electroplating tank, electric cylinder 71 drives the support frame 41 to descend again, and the plated parts enter the electroplating tank 3 for electroplating. The loading process is then complete. This setup realizes the automated operation of electroplating loading. During the loading process, there is no need for manual retrieval and transfer of the plated parts from the degreasing tank 2 to the electroplating tank 3, avoiding tedious retrieval and transfer operations and improving the efficiency of electroplating loading.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A support plate 8 is fixedly connected between the outer walls of the electroplating tank 3 and the degreasing tank 2. Sliding grooves 81 are provided on both sides of the support plate 8. The length direction of the sliding grooves 81 is parallel to the length direction of the frame 1. A moving plate 9 is slidably connected in the sliding grooves 81. The height of the top surface of the degreasing tank 2 and the electroplating tank 3 is higher than the height of the surface of the moving plate 9. Multiple brush rods 91 are rotatably connected on the moving plate 9. In this embodiment, there are four brush rods 91. Each brush rod 91 is located between two adjacent hanging rods 42. The brushes on the adjacent brush rods 91 are staggered. The brushes of the brush rods 91 are made of water-absorbing material. First magnetic blocks 411 are fixedly embedded on both sides of the support frame 41. Second magnetic blocks 92 that attract and cooperate with the first magnetic blocks 411 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of both sides of the moving plate 9. A rotating assembly 10 is provided on the moving plate 9 to drive the multiple brush rods 91 to rotate synchronously.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotating assembly 10 includes gears 101 that are coaxially fixedly connected to multiple brush rods 91. The gears 101 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the moving plate 9. The multiple gears 101 are meshed with each other. A rack plate 102 that meshes with one of the gears 101 is fixedly connected between the outer walls of the electroplating tank 3 and the degreasing tank 2. The length direction of the rack plate 102 is parallel to the length direction of the frame 1.

[0041] After the lifting component 7 drives the plated part to detach from the degreasing tank 2, the drive assembly drives the support frame 41 to move toward the electroplating tank 3. When the first magnetic block 411 on the support frame 41 is in contact with the second magnetic block 92 on the moving plate 9, the support frame 41 drives the moving plate 9 to move toward the electroplating tank 3 along the length direction of the rack plate 102. At this time, the gear 101 meshing with the rack plate 102 rolls along the rack plate 102. Under the transmission of the meshing of multiple gears 101, multiple brush rods 91 rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the brush rods 91, the brushes at different positions of the brush rods 91 are in contact with the outer surface of the plated part. The brush rods 91 drive the brushes to continuously contact the plated part. The brushes absorb the degreasing liquid remaining on the surface of the plated part, avoiding the adverse effects of the degreasing liquid mixing into the electroplating tank 3 on the electroplating, and improving the plating quality of the plated part.

[0042] When the moving plate 9 moves to the end near the electroplating tank 3, it is restricted by the outer wall of the electroplating tank 3 and cannot move further. At this time, the first magnetic block 411 and the second magnetic block 92 disengage, and the support frame 41 moves above the electroplating tank 3 to perform electroplating. After the electroplating is completed, the worker takes out the plated parts from the hook 43 and then rotates the motor 63 in the opposite direction. The motor 63 drives the screw to rotate in the opposite direction. The screw rotates in the opposite direction and drives the support frame 41 to move along the direction from the electroplating tank 3 to the degreasing tank 2. During the movement, the support frame 41 drives the moving plate 9 to reset.

[0043] The implementation principle of the electroplating feeding device in this application embodiment is as follows: The worker suspends the plated parts on the hook 43, starts the electric cylinder 71, and the electric cylinder 71 drives the support frame 41 to descend. The support frame 41 drives the plated parts on the hanging rod 42 to be immersed in the degreasing tank 2 for degreasing. After degreasing, the electric cylinder 71 drives the support frame 41 to rise until the plated parts are removed from the degreasing tank 2. Then, the motor 63 is started, and the motor 63 drives the conveying screw 61 to rotate. Under the connection of the guide rod 62 and the guide block 65, the conveying screw 61 drives the connecting block 64 to move. The connecting block 64 drives the plated parts on the support frame 41 to move towards the electroplating tank 3. When the plated parts move above the plated parts, the electric cylinder 71 drives the support frame 41 to descend again, and the plated parts enter the electroplating tank 3 for electroplating. The feeding process is completed. This setting realizes the automated operation of electroplating feeding. During the feeding process, there is no need for manual retrieval and transfer of the plated parts from the degreasing tank 2 to the electroplating tank 3, avoiding tedious retrieval and transfer operations and improving the efficiency of electroplating feeding.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
