Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to an electroplating burr removal device. Background Technology
[0002] In the electroplating industry, surface electroplating of metal terminals typically involves feeding materials in strip form. Multiple metal terminals are connected in series on a strip (with the terminals located in the middle section), and then the strip is gradually unloaded in rolls. The metal terminals to be plated pass through each electroplating process sequentially along with the strip. Assuming the strip moves vertically in a straight line, after all electroplating processes are completed, the top and bottom edges, as well as the sides, are prone to developing burrs due to friction with conductive bases and drive wheels. Although these burrs are not located within the metal terminal area, for customers with high quality requirements, these burr-laden strips are considered defective.
[0003] To address the burr problem in electroplated strips, the traditional approach is to manually polish the areas with burrs using a brush after the quality inspection process detects them (avoiding metal terminals). The drawbacks of this traditional method are: manual polishing is inefficient, the polishing results are inconsistent, and quality control is poor. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides an electroplating burr removal device. After the material strip has completed surface electroplating, the bottom and top are polished to remove burrs. The burr removal process is added to the electroplating process and mechanized operation is adopted to improve polishing efficiency, improve the consistency of polishing effect, and enhance quality control.
[0005] An electroplating burr removal device, comprising:
[0006] Base;
[0007] A first burr removal assembly mounted on a base; the first burr removal assembly includes: a first bracket connected to the base, a first drive motor mounted on the first bracket, and a first brush head mounted on the first drive motor; the first brush head is provided with a first grinding groove through which the bottom of the feed belt passes; the first brush head rotates under the drive of the first drive motor and grinds the end face and two sides of the bottom of the feed belt through the first grinding groove;
[0008] A second burr removal assembly mounted on a base; the second burr removal assembly includes: a second bracket connected to the base, a second drive motor mounted on the second bracket, and a second brush head mounted on the second drive motor; the second brush head has a second grinding groove through which the top of the feed belt passes; the second brush head rotates under the drive of the second drive motor, and grinds the top end face and both sides of the feed belt through the second grinding groove; and
[0009] A controller mounted on a base; the controller is electrically connected to the first drive motor and the second drive motor respectively.
[0010] The aforementioned electroplating burr removal device is installed after the strip has completed surface electroplating and before it is collected. Both the first and second burr removal components are positioned along the strip's forward path. The first brush head is located at the bottom of the strip, and the second brush head is located at the top. As the strip advances, the bottom passes through the first grinding groove to grind the end face and both sides, while the top passes through the second grinding groove to grind the end face and both sides. This design ensures that after surface electroplating, the bottom and top of the strip are ground to remove burrs. By incorporating the burr removal process into the electroplating operation and employing mechanized operation, grinding efficiency is improved, the consistency of grinding results is enhanced, and quality control is strengthened.
[0011] In one embodiment, both the first and second supports are multi-axis adjustable support structures. The posture of the first and second supports can be adjusted according to different sizes of the material strip, ensuring precise contact between the first and second brush heads and the material strip, thus improving versatility and reducing the difficulty of equipment adjustment.
[0012] In one embodiment, the first brush head includes: a first side brush, a first end brush, a second side brush, and a first locking ring sequentially mounted on the output shaft of the first drive motor; the first side brush, the first end brush, and the second side brush are all annular and together form a first grinding groove. This serial and detachable assembly method facilitates the replacement of the first side brush, the first end brush, and the second side brush according to different sizes of material strips, and also reduces the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance.
[0013] In one embodiment, the second brush head includes: a third side brush, a second end brush, a fourth side brush, and a second locking ring sequentially mounted on the output shaft of the second drive motor; the third side brush, the second end brush, and the fourth side brush are all annular and together form a second grinding groove. This serial and detachable assembly method facilitates the replacement of the third side brush, the second end brush, and the fourth side brush according to different sizes of material strips, and also reduces the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance.
[0014] In one embodiment, both the first and second brush heads are bristle structures. Using a bristle structure to polish the material strip removes burrs while avoiding secondary damage to the strip.
[0015] In one embodiment, the electroplating burr removal device further includes a waste collection box mounted on a base; the waste collection box is located below the first brush head and the second brush head. The waste collection box can collect the burr debris that falls off during grinding, reducing the difficulty of equipment maintenance.
[0016] In one embodiment, the electroplating burr removal device further includes a protective cover mounted on a base; both the first burr removal component and the second burr removal component are located within the protective cover. The protective cover prevents burrs detached during grinding from flying around, improving the workplace environment.
[0017] In one embodiment, the electroplating burr removal device further includes: a vacuum cleaner located inside a protective cover; and an electrical connection controller for the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner can adsorb the detached burrs and create negative pressure inside the protective cover, reducing the risk of burrs escaping. Attached Figure Description

[0043] Example 1
[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this is an embodiment of the electroplating burr removal device 100 of the present invention.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the electroplating burr removal device 100 includes: a base 10, a first burr removal assembly 20 mounted on the base 10, a second burr removal assembly 30 mounted on the base 10, and a controller 40 mounted on the base 10. Figure 7 As shown, the base 10 provides a stable working platform for the first burr removal assembly 20 and the second burr removal assembly 30, and the controller 40 is used to control the operating status of the first burr removal assembly 20 and the second burr removal assembly 30. The first burr removal assembly 20 is used to deburr the bottom end face and both sides of the material strip 200, and the second burr removal assembly 30 is used to deburr the top end face and both sides of the material strip 200.
[0046] Combination Figures 1 to 7 The above-mentioned electroplating burr removal device 100 will be further described.
[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first burr removal assembly 20 includes: a first bracket 21 connecting to the base 10, a first drive motor 22 mounted on the first bracket 21, and a first brush head 23 mounted on the first drive motor 22. The first brush head 23 has a first grinding groove 231 through which the bottom of the feed belt 200 passes. The first brush head 23 rotates under the drive of the first drive motor 22, and grinds the end face and two sides of the bottom of the feed belt 200 through the first grinding groove 231.
[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second burr removal assembly 30 includes: a second bracket 31 connecting to the base 10, a second drive motor 32 mounted on the second bracket 31, and a second brush head 33 mounted on the second drive motor 32. The second brush head 33 has a second grinding groove 331 through which the top of the feed belt 200 passes. The second brush head 33 rotates under the drive of the second drive motor 32, and grinds the top end face and both sides of the feed belt 200 through the second grinding groove 331.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the controller 40 is electrically connected to the first drive motor 22 and the second drive motor 32. In this embodiment, the controller 40 transmits electrical signals to the first drive motor 22 and the second drive motor 32 through data lines hidden inside the base 10.
[0050] Brief description of working principle:
[0051] like Figure 7As shown, during operation, this is set after the material strip 200 has completed surface electroplating and before the material strip 200 is retracted. The first burr removal assembly 20 and the second burr removal assembly 30 are both positioned on the forward path of the material strip 200. The first brush head 23 is located at the bottom of the material strip 200, and the second brush head 33 is located at the top of the material strip 200. It is important to note that both the first brush head 23 and the second brush head 33 must avoid the middle area of the material strip 200 where the metal terminals are located. As the material strip 200 moves forward, the bottom of the material strip 200 passes through the first grinding groove 231 to achieve grinding of the end face and both sides, and the top of the material strip 200 passes through the second grinding groove 331 to achieve grinding of the end face and both sides.
[0052] Considering that the dimensions of different strips may vary during actual operation, the following improvements can be made to facilitate operators in adapting the equipment:
[0053] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first support 21 and the second support 31 can be multi-axis adjustable support structures. For example, in this embodiment, both the first support 21 and the second support 31 are multi-axis robotic arms. The posture of the first support 21 and the second support 31 can be adjusted according to different sizes of the material strip 200, so that the first brush head 23 and the second brush head 33 make precise contact with the material strip 200, improving versatility and reducing the difficulty of equipment adjustment.
[0054] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first brush head 23 includes: a first side brush 232, a first end brush 233, a second side brush 234, and a first locking ring 235, which are sequentially mounted on the output shaft of the first drive motor 22. The first side brush 232, the first end brush 233, and the second side brush 234 are all annular and together they form the first grinding groove 231. The serial and detachable assembly method facilitates the replacement of the first side brush 232, the first end brush 233, and the second side brush 234 according to different sizes of material strips 200, and also reduces the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance.
[0055] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the second brush head 33 includes: a third side brush 332, a second end brush 333, a fourth side brush 334, and a second locking ring 335, which are sequentially mounted on the output shaft of the second drive motor 32. The third side brush 332, the second end brush 333, and the fourth side brush 334 are all annular and together they form the second grinding groove 331. The serial and detachable assembly method facilitates the replacement of the third side brush 332, the second end brush 333, and the fourth side brush 334 according to different sizes of material strips 200, and also reduces the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance.
[0056] Furthermore, since burr removal is achieved through grinding in this solution, the first brush head 23 and the second brush head 33 need to be made of soft materials to avoid secondary damage to the material strip 200 caused by grinding. For example, in this embodiment, both the first brush head 23 and the second brush head 33 are brush structures (e.g., using nylon bristles). Using a brush structure to grind the material strip 200 removes burrs while avoiding secondary damage to the material strip 200.
[0057] The aforementioned electroplating burr removal device 100 performs bottom and top grinding to remove burrs after the material strip 200 completes surface electroplating. This adds the burr removal process to the electroplating process and adopts mechanized operation to improve grinding efficiency, enhance the consistency of grinding effect, and strengthen quality control.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, this is another embodiment of the electroplating burr removal device 100 of the present invention.
[0060] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the electroplating burr removal device 100 may further include a waste collection box 50 mounted on the base 10. The waste collection box 50 is located below the first brush head 23 and the second brush head 33. The waste collection box 50 can collect the burr debris that falls off during grinding, reducing the difficulty of equipment maintenance.
[0061] Furthermore, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the electroplating burr removal device 100 may further include a protective cover 60 mounted on the base 10. The first burr removal assembly 20 and the second burr removal assembly 30 are both located within the protective cover 60. The protective cover 60 prevents burrs detached during grinding from flying around, improving the workplace environment.
[0062] To facilitate monitoring of equipment operation by operators, the protective cover 60 is preferably a transparent cover, such as an acrylic glass cover.
[0063] To improve the controllability of detached burrs, in other embodiments, the electroplating burr removal device 100 may further include a vacuum cleaner located within a protective cover 60. The vacuum cleaner is electrically connected to a controller 40. The vacuum cleaner can adsorb the detached burrs and create a negative pressure within the protective cover 60, reducing the risk of burrs escaping.
[0064] The other structures in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1, and it can also achieve the beneficial effects of Embodiment 1.
[0065] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0066] The above embodiments only illustrate preferred implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
