Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, and more specifically, to a suspension device for metal electroplating. Background Technology

[0002] There are technical defects in existing suspension devices for metal electroplating that affect production efficiency and electroplating quality. First, the stability of the electroplating box during the lifting process is particularly prominent. Traditional suspension mechanisms often use simple lifting structures and lack effective guiding and anti-swaying devices, which makes the electroplating box prone to shaking and displacement during immersion or lifting. This instability not only affects the uniformity of electroplating, but may also cause the electroplating solution to splash, and even bring safety hazards.

[0003] Secondly, the installation and disassembly of the electroplating box present significant operational difficulties. Existing devices generally use bolt fixing or complex locking mechanisms, which means that each replacement of the electroplating box requires a lot of time and manpower. Operators need to use various tools to perform tedious installation and disassembly operations, which not only reduces production efficiency but also increases labor intensity. Especially in production environments where different batches of hardware parts are frequently replaced, this inconvenient design seriously restricts the production rhythm. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 A suspension device for metal electroplating includes a side column 1, an electroplating box 2, a lifting and adjusting mechanism, a quick-connecting mechanism, and a connecting auxiliary mechanism. The lifting and adjusting mechanism includes a drive motor 3, a lead screw 4, a slider 5, a slide rail 6, a suspension bracket 7, and a connecting pipe 8. The drive motor 3 is mounted on the side column 1. The lead screw 4 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 3. The slider 5 is mounted on the lead screw 4. The slide rail 6 is longitudinally mounted on the side column 1, and the slider 5 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 6. The connecting pipe 8 is fixedly mounted on one end face of the suspension bracket 7. Fixedly mounted on slider 5, the quick-connect mechanism includes a locking rod 9, a locking groove 10, a rocker 11, a directional ring 12, a pressure groove 13, and an upper push block 14. The locking groove 10 is set on the locking rod 9, which can extend into the interior of the locking tube 8. The rocker 11 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the locking tube 8. The directional ring 12 is directionally slidably mounted on the outer wall of the locking tube 8. The pressure groove 13 is set on the directional ring 12. The upper push block 14 is installed at the bottom end of the pressure groove 13, which can press the rocker 11, so that the other end of the rocker 11 extends into the locking groove 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, the drive motor 3 starts, driving the lead screw 4 to rotate. The rotational motion of the lead screw 4 is converted into the linear motion of the slider 5. The slider 5 moves stably up and down on the slide rail 6. The suspension bracket 7 moves synchronously with the slider 5, driving the clamping tube 8 to rise and fall. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 3, the suspension height can be precisely adjusted. The clamping rod 9 is inserted into the clamping tube 8, so that the clamping groove 10 is aligned with the position of the rocker plate 11. The directional ring 12 slides on the outer wall of the clamping tube 8, and the pressure groove 13 is aligned with the rocker plate 11. The upper push block 14 applies pressure to the rocker plate 11 through the pressure groove 13. The rocker plate 11 rotates under the pressure, and one end extends into the clamping groove 10, completing the clamping and fixing, and realizing the stable connection of the electroplating box 2. When disassembly is required, the directional ring 12 is moved in the reverse direction, and the upper push block 14 is used to make the rocker plate 11 disengage from the clamping groove 10, so that it can be quickly separated.

[0031] The snap-fit ​​auxiliary mechanism includes an outer rotating frame 15, a rotating block 16, a top block 17, a winding rod 18, and a rod groove 19. The outer rotating frame 15 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​tube 8. The rotating block 16 is mounted on the bottom end of the outer rotating frame 15. The rod groove 19 is set on the rotating block 16. The top block 17 is fixedly mounted on the top end of the directional ring 12. The winding rod 18 is fixedly mounted on the side of the top block 17. Rotating the outer rotating frame 15 causes the rotating block 16 to rotate. The rod groove 19 on the rotating block 16 is fitted onto the winding rod 18, so that the directional ring 12 and the top block 17 are longitudinally fixed.

[0032] In this embodiment, rotating the outer rotating frame 15 drives the rotating block 16 to rotate. The rod groove 19 on the rotating block 16 is aligned with the winding rod 18 on the top block 17. The rod groove 19 is fitted onto the winding rod 18, restricting the longitudinal movement of the directional ring 12 and ensuring that the directional ring 12 and the top block 17 are fixed in position. When adjustment is required, rotating the outer rotating frame 15 causes the rotating block 16 to leave the winding rod 18. The return spring 25 causes the directional ring 12 to return to its original position. At the same time, the directional ring 12 is moved in the opposite direction. The upper push block 14 is used to disengage the rocker plate 11 from the slot 10, thereby separating the locking tube 8 from the locking rod 9, and thus realizing the quick disassembly of the electroplating box 2 and the suspension frame 7.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-5 As a supplementary embodiment of a suspension device for metal electroplating, which includes a lifting adjustment mechanism, a quick-connect mechanism, and a connecting auxiliary mechanism: A base frame 20 is installed at the bottom end of the side column 1, and an electroplating tank 21 is installed at the top end of the base frame 20. A support frame 22 is installed on one side of the side column 1, and a lead screw 4 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 22. A connecting plate 23 is installed at the bottom end of the side wall of the connecting pipe 8, and the connecting plate 23 is fixedly installed on one end face of the suspension frame 7. A connecting rod 9 is fixedly installed on one end face of the electroplating box 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 extends through the suspension frame 7 and engages with the connecting pipe 8 for quick-connection. A through groove 24 is opened on the side of the electroplating box 2, and the electroplating liquid in the electroplating tank 21 flows into the electroplating box 2 through the through groove 24. A return spring 25 is installed between the connecting plate 23 and the directional ring 12. A block groove 26 is opened on the side of the directional ring 12, and the rotating block 16 can rotate to the top of the block groove 26, so that the directional ring 12 can slide longitudinally.

[0034] More specifically, check the status of each mechanism to ensure that the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 21 meets the requirements, prepare the hardware parts to be electroplated, put the hardware parts into the electroplating box 2, align the snap-fit ​​rod 9 fixed on the electroplating box 2 with the snap-fit ​​tube 8, complete the connection through the quick snap-fit ​​mechanism, use the snap-fit ​​auxiliary mechanism to lock the position, start the drive motor 3, control the suspension frame 7 to descend, the electroplating box 2 enters the electroplating solution through the through groove 24, adjust the electroplating depth as needed, the position can be precisely controlled during the electroplating process, after the electroplating is completed, control the suspension frame 7 to rise, rotate the outer rotating frame 15 to release the lock, move the directional ring 12 to release the snap-fit, and take out the electroplating box 2 and the electroplated hardware parts.

[0035] In summary, when the overall equipment is in use or running: when the lifting and adjusting mechanism needs to run, the drive motor 3 starts, driving the lead screw 4 to rotate. The rotational motion of the lead screw 4 is converted into the linear motion of the slider 5. The slider 5 moves stably up and down on the slide rail 6. The suspension frame 7 moves synchronously with the slider 5, driving the clamping pipe 8 to lift and lower. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 3, the suspension height can be precisely adjusted.

[0036] When the quick-connect mechanism is in operation, it enables the rapid installation and disassembly of the electroplating box 2 and the suspension bracket 7. The connecting rod 9 is inserted into the connecting tube 8, so that the slot 10 is aligned with the rocker plate 11. The directional ring 12 slides on the outer wall of the connecting tube 8, the pressure groove 13 is aligned with the rocker plate 11, and the upper push block 14 applies pressure to the rocker plate 11 through the pressure groove 13. The rocker plate 11 rotates under pressure, and one end extends into the slot 10, completing the snap-fit ​​fixation and achieving a stable connection of the electroplating box 2. When disassembly is required, the directional ring 12 is moved in the opposite direction, and the upper push block 14 is used to make the rocker plate 11 disengage from the slot 10, so that it can be quickly separated.

[0037] When the auxiliary mechanism needs to be engaged, rotate the outer rotating frame 15 to drive the rotating block 16 to rotate. The rod groove 19 on the rotating block 16 is aligned with the winding rod 18 on the top block 17. The rod groove 19 is fitted onto the winding rod 18, restricting the longitudinal movement of the directional ring 12 and ensuring that the directional ring 12 and the top block 17 are fixed in position. When adjustment is needed, rotate the outer rotating frame 15 to make the rotating block 16 leave the winding rod 18. The return spring 25 makes the directional ring 12 return to its original position. At the same time, the directional ring 12 is moved in the opposite direction. The push block 14 is used to make the rocker plate 11 disengage from the slot 10, thereby separating the clamping tube 8 from the clamping rod 9, and thus realizing the quick disassembly of the electroplating box 2 and the suspension frame 7.

[0038] Check the status of each mechanism to ensure that the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 21 meets the requirements. Prepare the hardware parts to be electroplated and put them into the electroplating box 2. Align the snap-fit ​​rod 9 fixed on the electroplating box 2 with the snap-fit ​​tube 8 and complete the connection through the quick snap-fit ​​mechanism. Use the snap-fit ​​auxiliary mechanism to lock the position. Start the drive motor 3 and control the suspension frame 7 to descend. The electroplating box 2 enters the electroplating solution through the through groove 24. Adjust the electroplating depth as needed. The position can be precisely controlled during the electroplating process. After the electroplating is completed, control the suspension frame 7 to rise, rotate the outer rotating frame 15 to release the lock, move the directional ring 12 to release the snap-fit, and take out the electroplating box 2 and the electroplated hardware parts.
