Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electroplating technology, and more specifically, to an automatic loading and unloading device for an electroplating production line. Background Technology

[0002] An automated electroplating production line is an integrated system that combines plating tanks, workpiece lifting and conveying devices, electrical control devices, power supply equipment, filtration equipment, testing instruments, heating and cooling devices, air agitation equipment, etc., according to certain electroplating process requirements. It automatically completes the entire electroplating process through mechanical and electrical devices, resulting in high production efficiency and stable product quality.

[0003] Currently, the feeding and unloading methods in electroplating production lines are all manual lifting and manual unloading. This is not only cumbersome to operate, but also labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to missing parts that need to be electroplated due to various human factors, which greatly affects the electroplating efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an automatic loading and unloading device for electroplating production lines. Utility Model Content

[0005] The automatic loading and unloading device for the electroplating production line provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic loading and unloading device for an electroplating production line includes a loading and unloading frame. A loading hopper is fixed to the right end of the frame, and one end of the loading hopper has an inclined end. A unloading hopper is fixed to the left end of the frame, and a conveyor belt is installed inside the unloading hopper. A top beam is welded to the top of the frame, and a track groove is formed on the inner side of the top beam. A guide rail is fixed within the track groove of the top beam. A traveling frame is attached to the bottom surface of the top beam, and a transmission rod is mounted on the top surface of the traveling frame via a bearing. A track wheel connected to the guide rail is provided at the end of the transmission rod. A servo motor is fixed to the upper inner side of the traveling frame, and a transmission belt is wound between the output end of the servo motor and the transmission rod. An electric cylinder is fixed to the lower inner side of the traveling frame, and a clamping assembly is fixedly connected to the electric cylinder through the traveling frame. Several robotic arms are mounted on the bottom surface of the clamping assembly, and several guide rods that intersect and connect with the traveling frame are provided on the top surface of the clamping assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the side of the hopper, and a transmission roller is fixed to the output end of the drive motor through a coupling. The transmission roller installed at the output end of the drive motor is connected to the conveyor belt. A drying station is set on the inner side of the hopper corresponding to the conveyor belt, and a hot air dryer is set at the drying station.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding hopper is composed of a horizontal part and an inclined end, and the side of the horizontal part of the feeding hopper is provided with a clearance opening corresponding to the clamping assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, two reinforcing rods are welded parallel to each other on the side of the loading and unloading frame, and the length of the loading and unloading frame matches the length of the electroplating production line.

[0010] Furthermore, a pulley is installed at the output end of the servo motor and at the middle part of the transmission rod, and the transmission belt is connected to the pulley.

[0011] Furthermore, the track groove has a T-shaped cross-section, and two guide rails are arranged in parallel inside the track groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the walking frame has two cavities arranged from bottom to top inside, the top surface of the walking frame has an installation port corresponding to the transmission belt, and the bottom surface of the walking frame has a connection hole corresponding to the electric cylinder and the guide rod.

[0013] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] An automatic loading and unloading device for an electroplating production line is constructed using a loading and unloading frame, a loading hopper, and a unloading hopper. Activating the servo motor within the traveling frame causes the transmission belt wound around its output end to rotate the transmission rod. This, in turn, causes the track wheel of the transmission rod to roll relative to the guide rail within the top beam, allowing the traveling frame to move along the length of the top beam. This enables the clamping components installed at the bottom of the traveling frame to flexibly rotate above the loading hopper, electroplating tank, and unloading hopper. Combined with the inclined end of the loading hopper and the conveyor belt built into the unloading hopper, the device facilitates the transfer and transport of electroplated workpieces during the early and later stages of loading and unloading. It features a compact structure and high efficiency in automatic loading and unloading, solving the problems of cumbersome operation, high labor intensity, low efficiency, and missed electroplating parts caused by traditional manual loading and unloading methods. This improves the production efficiency and automation level of the electroplating production line. Attached Figure Description

A servo motor 10 is fixed to the upper inner side of the traveling frame 5, and a transmission belt 14 is wound between the output end of the servo motor 10 and the transmission rod 13. A servo motor 10 is fixed to the lower inner side of the traveling frame 5. An electric cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to a clamping assembly 6 through the traveling frame 5. Several robotic arms 9 are mounted on the bottom surface of the clamping assembly 6, and several guide rods 8 that are inserted and connected to the traveling frame 5 are provided on the top surface of the clamping assembly 6. Regarding the servo motor 10, electric cylinder 7, robotic arms 9, and drive motor 18, the control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail. The contents not described in detail in this specification are common prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 A drive motor 18 is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding hopper 3, and a transmission roller is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 18 through a coupling. The transmission roller installed at the output end of the drive motor 18 is connected to the conveyor belt 19. A drying station 20 is set on the inner side of the feeding hopper 3 corresponding to the conveyor belt 19, and a hot air dryer is set at the drying station 20. This structure is adopted to facilitate the conveying and drying of electroplated workpieces. The principle of the hot air dryer is an existing known technology, and there are mature products. Therefore, its principle will not be further explained.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The feeding hopper 2 consists of a horizontal part and an inclined end 16. The side of the horizontal part of the feeding hopper 2 is provided with a clearance opening 17 corresponding to the clamping component 6. This structure makes it easy to feed the workpiece to be electroplated and to make room for the clamping component 6.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2Two reinforcing rods are welded parallel to each other on the side of the loading and unloading frame 1, and the length of the loading and unloading frame 1 matches the length of the electroplating production line. This structure increases the overall reliability of the loading and unloading frame 1. The bottom of the loading and unloading frame 1 is also equipped with a mounting block with holes so that it can be fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the electroplating workshop with bolts.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 A pulley is installed at the output end of the servo motor 10 and the middle part of the transmission rod 13, and the transmission belt 14 is connected to the pulley. This structure makes it easy to reliably install the transmission belt 14.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 The track groove 11 has a T-shaped cross-section, and two guide rails 12 are arranged in parallel inside the track groove 11. With this structure, combined with the track wheels 15 at both ends of the transmission rod 13, it is easy to increase the stability of the movement of the traveling frame 5.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 The walking frame 5 has two cavities arranged from bottom to top. The top surface of the walking frame 5 has an installation port corresponding to the transmission belt 14, and the bottom surface of the walking frame 5 has a connection hole corresponding to the electric cylinder 7 and the guide rod 8. This structure facilitates the installation of the servo motor 10 and the electric cylinder 7.

[0032] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the workpieces to be electroplated are first placed one by one into the loading hopper 2, causing the workpieces to slide into the inner side of the loading hopper 2 along the inclined end 16. At this time, by starting the servo motor 10 in the walking frame 5, the transmission belt 14 wound around the output end of the servo motor 10 drives the transmission rod 13 to rotate. Then, the track wheel 15 of the transmission rod 13 rolls relative to the guide rail 12 in the top beam 4, so that the walking frame 5 moves along the length direction of the top beam 4, so that the clamping assembly 6 installed at the bottom of the walking frame 5 can move between the loading hopper 2 and the electroplating tank. The clamping assembly 6 moves flexibly above the feeding hopper 3. When the clamping assembly 6 is above the feeding hopper 2, the electric cylinder 7 is activated to extend, causing the clamping assembly 6 to move down. Several robotic arms 9 at the bottom of the clamping assembly 6 are activated to grab the workpiece to be electroplated. During the movement of the traveling frame 5, the workpiece to be electroplated held on the clamping assembly 6 is lowered into the electroplating tank. When the electroplating is completed, the clamping assembly 6 grabs the electroplated workpiece in the electroplating tank through several robotic arms 9 and transfers it to the top of the feeding hopper 3. Then, the workpiece to be electroplated held on the clamping assembly 6 is lowered onto the conveyor belt 19 for drying and conveying of the electroplated workpiece.

[0033] 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.
