Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electroplating equipment, and in particular to a mesh bag suitable for use in electroplating processes. Background Technology

[0002] In the electroplating industry, strict management of the parts to be plated is usually required to ensure plating quality. With the continuous development of industrial production, electroplating technology has become an indispensable part of many manufacturing industries. However, in actual production, parts often accidentally fall into the electroplating tank for various reasons. These fallen parts not only increase the difficulty of cleaning but may also contaminate the electroplating solution, thus affecting the quality of subsequent products and production efficiency. Therefore, how to effectively manage and collect fallen parts has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] Currently, common solutions for collecting parts that fall off during electroplating include manual retrieval and other simple tools. Manual retrieval is the most common method, but in practice, due to the high temperature and complex chemical composition of the electroplating solution, workers find it difficult to perform retrieval frequently, and parts are easily missed. In addition, there are some simple tools such as net baskets and scoop nets, but due to their simple design, they suffer from incomplete collection and inconvenience of use, resulting in continued serious pollution of the electroplating solution.

[0004] The common problem with existing manual retrieval and other simple tools is that they cannot efficiently and thoroughly collect fallen parts, while increasing the labor intensity and safety risks for workers. These problems directly affect the quality of the electroplating solution and production efficiency, thus impacting the quality of the final product. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a mesh bag suitable for use in electroplating processes.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: a mesh bag suitable for electroplating process, comprising a mesh bag body, electroplated steel strips and a central circular strip, wherein the mesh bag body is cylindrical, and a plurality of electroplated steel strips are evenly spaced on the outer wall of the mesh bag body, and adjacent electroplated steel strips are connected by the central circular strip, wherein a plurality of bottom filter holes are provided at the bottom of the mesh bag body, and a plurality of side wall filter holes are provided on the side wall of the mesh bag body.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylindrical mesh bag body, combined with evenly spaced electroplated steel strips and the connecting central circular strip, not only ensures the overall structural stability of the mesh bag but also provides effective support for the objects to be electroplated during the electroplating process. This prevents the objects from shifting or deforming due to their own weight or the flow of the electroplating solution, thus ensuring the uniformity and high quality of the electroplating. Several filter holes on the bottom and side walls effectively filter the electroplating solution. The bottom filter holes prevent impurities from accumulating at the bottom of the mesh bag, ensuring the cleanliness and circulation of the electroplating solution, making its composition more uniform and stable. The side wall filter holes facilitate the exchange and flow of the electroplating solution inside and outside the mesh bag, ensuring the fluidity and renewal speed of the electroplating solution throughout the entire electroplating system, thereby optimizing the electroplating effect. Simultaneously, this structural design, while ensuring sufficient strength and stability of the mesh bag, also promotes efficient electroplating processes, improves production efficiency, reduces the defect rate caused by impurities and poor flow, and brings better economic benefits and product quality assurance to the electroplating process.

[0008] Optionally, the bottom of the net body is hollow and has concentric holes for connecting with corresponding positioning devices on the electroplating tank, so as to achieve precise positioning and stable installation of the net body in the electroplating tank.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the concentric holes allow the mesh bag to connect with the corresponding positioning device on the electroplating tank, achieving precise positioning and stable installation during the electroplating process. This greatly improves the stability and reliability of the mesh bag during use. It effectively avoids uneven electroplating caused by mesh bag misalignment or shaking, ensuring that the object to be electroplated is always in the optimal position during the electroplating process, guaranteeing consistency and accuracy. Simultaneously, precise positioning also helps reduce uneven current distribution that may be caused by positional deviations, further improving electroplating quality and ensuring that the electroplating effect meets high-standard quality requirements. Moreover, this stable installation method can adapt to different types and specifications of electroplating tanks, enhancing the applicability of the mesh bag in different electroplating scenarios. This makes operation more convenient and efficient, reducing the time and effort required for operators to install and adjust the position of the mesh bag. It provides favorable conditions for the automation and large-scale production of the electroplating process, improves the efficiency and capacity of the entire electroplating production, and can extend the service life of the mesh bag because its stable position can reduce damage to the mesh bag caused by frequent adjustments or shaking. Overall, it optimizes the operation process and effect of the electroplating process.

[0010] Optionally, the net body is provided with an extension along the edge of the concentric holes, and the extension is annular.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the annular extension extends along the edge of the concentric holes, providing additional support and protection for the mesh bag. On one hand, it increases the contact area between the bottom of the mesh bag and the corresponding support structure on the electroplating tank, making the mesh bag more securely installed in the electroplating tank. This allows it to better withstand the pressure from the object to be electroplated and the electroplating solution, preventing deformation or damage due to excessive localized stress, and improving the mesh bag's load-bearing capacity and structural stability. On the other hand, the extension can buffer external impacts. When accidental collisions or impacts from the flow of the electroplating solution occur during the electroplating process, the extension can absorb some energy, reducing damage to the concentric holes and the mesh bag itself, thereby extending the service life of the mesh bag. The presence of the annular extension also helps to ensure the reliability of the connection between the concentric hole and the positioning device, avoiding the impact of wear or loosening of the connection parts on the positioning accuracy of the mesh bag, ensuring that the mesh bag is always in a stable position during the electroplating process, ensuring the continuity and consistency of the electroplating operation, helping to continuously and stably produce high-quality electroplated products, and to a certain extent improving the adaptability and reliability of the mesh bag in complex electroplating environments, contributing significant advantages to improving the overall quality and efficiency of the electroplating process.

[0012] Optionally, the net body is made of stainless steel.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, stainless steel itself possesses excellent corrosion resistance, enabling it to resist the erosion of various chemical agents and electroplating solutions during the electroplating process. This ensures the long-term use of the mesh bag and prevents its performance and service life from being affected by material corrosion. Its good mechanical properties, such as high strength and hardness, allow the mesh bag to maintain structural integrity when bearing the object to be electroplated and withstanding various external forces during the electroplating operation. It will not easily deform or be damaged, providing a stable support and containment environment for the object to be electroplated. Simultaneously, stainless steel has good processing properties, making it easy to process the mesh bag into the required shape and size to meet the requirements of different electroplating processes. Furthermore, its good surface finish can reduce friction between the object to be electroplated and the mesh bag to a certain extent, avoiding additional damage to the object's surface. Moreover, the stability and reliability of stainless steel help ensure the safety and stability of the electroplating process, reduce quality accidents caused by problems with the mesh bag material, improve the quality and efficiency of the entire electroplating process, reduce the maintenance and replacement costs caused by material problems, and make the mesh bag of this electroplating process have good applicability and durability in different electroplating environments, with higher cost performance and broader application prospects.

[0014] Optionally, the net body is made of electroplated steel.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, electroplated steel material involves coating a layer of metal onto a base of ordinary steel through an electroplating process, which brings significant improvements to the surface properties of the mesh bag. Different metals can be selected for the electroplating layer based on the specific electroplating process and usage requirements. For example, zinc plating provides good corrosion resistance; in general electroplating environments, the zinc layer corrodes preferentially, thus protecting the base steel and extending the service life of the mesh bag. Nickel plating gives the mesh bag a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and better corrosion resistance, while also improving its hardness and wear resistance to some extent, making the mesh bag more resistant to external wear and corrosion when carrying objects to be electroplated and during electroplating operations. Secondly, using electroplated steel material can reduce material costs while meeting performance requirements, because the base steel is relatively inexpensive, and the required performance improvement can be achieved through surface electroplating. This cost advantage is particularly evident in large-scale electroplating production. In addition, the base steel of electroplating steel materials usually has good strength and toughness, which can ensure the structural stability of the mesh bag, withstand certain loads and external forces, provide strong support for the smooth progress of the electroplating process, and can flexibly adjust the type and thickness of the electroplating layer according to different electroplating process requirements to meet diverse application scenarios. While improving the quality of electroplated products, it also takes into account economic benefits and ease of operation.

[0016] Optionally, the inner wall of the net bag body is provided with a pipe clamp.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solutions, various auxiliary pipes, such as liquid delivery pipes and gas discharge pipes, are often required in the electroplating process. The existence of pipe clamps provides a stable and reliable connection method for these auxiliary pipes. It can firmly fix the auxiliary pipes to the inner wall of the mesh bag body, preventing displacement or detachment of the auxiliary pipes due to the flow of the electroplating solution, the movement of the object to be electroplated, or other external factors during the electroplating process, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the auxiliary pipe position. The liquid delivery pipe can stably deliver the required electroplating solution to the electroplating process, ensuring a continuous and stable supply of the electroplating solution, which helps maintain the uniformity of the electroplating solution composition and the smooth progress of the electroplating process. The gas discharge pipe can also function properly, timely discharging the gas generated during the electroplating process and preventing gas accumulation from adversely affecting the electroplating quality. Moreover, the use of pipe clamps improves the integration and compactness of the entire electroplating system, reduces operational risks and maintenance difficulties caused by messy pipe layout, optimizes the operation process of electroplating, and improves the efficiency and reliability of electroplating operations. This provides a strong guarantee for achieving efficient and high-quality electroplating operations and further enhances the practicality and functionality of the mesh bag in this electroplating process.

[0018] Optionally, the diameter of the bottom filter hole is 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, impurities in the electroplating solution can be effectively filtered, preventing larger impurities from entering the mesh bag and affecting the electroplating quality. The smaller lower limit of 0.3 mm ensures that relatively small impurities are filtered out, maintaining the cleanliness of the electroplating solution and providing a good environment for the electroplating process. This avoids impurities interfering with the formation and quality of the electroplated layer, thereby improving the surface quality and performance of the electroplated product. Simultaneously, the larger upper limit of 1.2 mm avoids the problem of poor flow of the electroplating solution due to excessively small filter hole diameter. This facilitates smooth flow of the electroplating solution at the bottom of the mesh bag, ensuring circulation and renewal of the solution, maintaining the uniformity of the solution composition, and preventing uneven electroplating caused by localized differences in solution composition. This range comprehensively considers the needs of impurity filtration and electroplating solution flow. While ensuring electroplating quality, it helps improve electroplating efficiency and can, to a certain extent, reduce various problems caused by impurity accumulation or poor electroplating solution circulation, ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the electroplating process and bringing better results and a higher product qualification rate.

[0020] Optionally, the diameter of the sidewall filter holes is 4 mm to 8 mm.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the sidewall filter holes play a crucial balancing role in the electroplating process. On the one hand, the lower limit of 4 mm ensures good filtration of impurities of a certain size in the electroplating solution, preventing these impurities from entering the mesh bag and affecting the electroplating quality. This guarantees the purity of the electroplating and the smoothness of the product surface, contributing to the formation of a uniform, high-quality electroplated layer. On the other hand, the upper limit of 8 mm facilitates the full flow and exchange of the electroplating solution on the sidewall of the mesh bag, allowing the solution to flow more smoothly in and out of the bag. This avoids the problem of obstructed exchange of the electroplating solution caused by excessively small filter holes, ensuring the uniform distribution and renewal of the electroplating solution throughout the entire electroplating system, maintaining the consistency of the solution composition, and thus improving the uniformity and stability of the electroplating. This size of sidewall filter holes effectively coordinates the relationship between impurity filtration and electroplating solution exchange, satisfying the filtration requirements for impurities in the electroplating solution while ensuring efficient flow of the solution. This improves the overall efficiency of the electroplating process, enhances the quality and pass rate of electroplated products, and provides more reliable and optimized conditions for electroplating operations.

[0022] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effect:

[0023] 1. The cylindrical mesh body, combined with evenly spaced electroplated steel strips and a central circular strip, provides effective support for the object to be electroplated, preventing the object from shifting or deforming during the electroplating process, ensuring the uniformity and high quality of electroplating. Moreover, the overall structural design is simple and practical, easy to manufacture and install, and reduces production costs.

[0024] 2. The filter holes at the bottom and side walls (bottom filter hole diameter is 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm, side wall filter hole diameter is 4 mm to 8 mm) can effectively filter impurities in the electroplating solution, ensuring the cleanliness and circulation effect of the electroplating solution, preventing impurities from accumulating, and ensuring good exchange and circulation of the electroplating solution inside and outside the mesh bag, optimizing the electroplating effect and reducing the defect rate.

[0025] 3. The concentric holes at the bottom of the mesh bag can be connected to the positioning device on the electroplating tank to achieve precise positioning and stable installation, avoiding positional deviation and shaking, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of electroplating, reducing uneven current distribution, improving electroplating quality, adapting to different electroplating scenarios, and increasing operational efficiency and production capacity. The annular extension at the edge of the concentric holes increases the contact area at the bottom, improving load-bearing capacity and structural stability, buffering external impacts, extending the service life of the mesh bag, and ensuring the reliability of the connection between the concentric holes and the positioning device, ensuring the continuity and consistency of electroplating operations.

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-3 A mesh bag suitable for electroplating processes includes a mesh bag body 1, electroplated steel strips 2, and a central circular bar 3. The mesh bag body 1 is cylindrical, with several electroplated steel strips 2 evenly spaced on its outer wall, and adjacent strips connected by the central circular bar 3. The bottom of the mesh bag body 1 has several bottom filter holes 4, and the side walls also have several side wall filter holes 5. This design effectively improves the collection efficiency of parts falling during electroplating, reduces manual retrieval work, lowers safety risks, and prevents parts accumulation from contaminating the electroplating solution, improving the cleanliness of the solution and ensuring product quality and production efficiency.

[0034] Specifically, the net body 1 includes a net body made of stainless steel. The wall thickness of the net body can be selected from different thicknesses, such as 0.5 mm to 2 mm, to adapt to different electroplating environment requirements.

[0035] Four electroplated steel strips 2 are welded to the outer wall of the net body 1. These four electroplated steel strips 2 are evenly spaced along the outer wall of the net body 1. The cross-sectional shape of each electroplated steel strip 2 can be circular or rectangular. The material of the electroplated steel strips 2 can also be other metal materials with good corrosion resistance, such as titanium alloy or aluminum alloy. The main function of the electroplated steel strips 2 is to provide additional support when the net is placed in the electroplating tank, preventing the net from deforming or tipping over.

[0036] The central circular bar 3 is welded to the four electroplated steel strips 2 to form a stable frame structure. The material of the central circular bar 3 can also be stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials. The design of the central circular bar 3 not only enhances the overall rigidity of the net bag, but also forms a support structure inside the net bag, allowing the electroplated parts inside the net bag to be evenly distributed and avoiding damage to the net bag due to local overload.

[0037] The bottom of the net body 1 has a concentric hole 6, the diameter of which is approximately one-third of the diameter of the bottom circle of the net. This hole is primarily used to engage and secure the net with the positioning device 7 (cylindrical platform) on the electroplating tank. The concentric hole 6 ensures the net is more stably installed in the electroplating tank, preventing displacement due to external disturbances. An extension 8, ring-shaped, is provided along the edge of the concentric hole 6. This extension increases the contact area with the positioning device 7 (cylindrical platform), improving the stability of the fixation. The extension 8 is also made of stainless steel.

[0038] The sidewalls of the mesh bag body 1 are provided with densely packed small holes, the diameter of which is generally in the range of 4 mm to 8 mm. These holes serve to filter impurities in the electroplating solution, maintaining its cleanliness. Additionally, the bottom of the mesh bag body 1 has fine pores, the diameter of which is typically in the range of 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm. These fine pores further filter out tiny particles in the electroplating solution, ensuring its purity.

[0039] The inner wall of the mesh bag body 1 is equipped with pipe clamps 9. These clamps can easily connect auxiliary pipes into the inside of the mesh bag for transporting gas or liquid, so as to better control the reaction conditions during the electroplating process. The pipe clamps 9 are also made of stainless steel, and their shape can be hooks or buckles. The specific form can be flexibly designed according to the actual application requirements.

[0040] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The net body 1 is made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and strength. During electroplating, the net is placed in the electroplating tank, and the parts to be electroplated are suspended inside the net. The special design of the net ensures that even if a part accidentally falls into the electroplating tank, it can be quickly captured and gathered together, reducing the amount of manual retrieval and lowering safety risks. At the same time, the filter holes on the net can effectively remove impurities from the electroplating solution, maintaining the cleanliness of the electroplating solution, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency. This design not only solves the problems existing in the prior art, but also significantly improves the reliability and economy of the electroplating process.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the material of the net body 1 is changed to electroplated steel instead of stainless steel. Electroplated steel has higher hardness and wear resistance, making it suitable for use in harsher electroplating environments. Furthermore, the wall thickness of the net body 1 can be appropriately reduced to decrease weight and facilitate handling and installation.

[0043] Specifically, the net body 1 is made of electroplated steel with a wall thickness of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. The surface of the electroplated steel undergoes a special coating treatment, which enhances its corrosion resistance and allows it to be used for a long time in high temperature and high humidity environments without easily rusting.

[0044] The material of the electroplated steel strip 2 is still electroplated steel, but its cross-sectional shape can be changed to square, which can increase the surface area of ​​the electroplated steel strip 2, improve its heat dissipation performance, and extend its service life. The material of the middle round strip 3 is also electroplated steel, which is welded to the four electroplated steel strips 2 to form a sturdy frame structure.

[0045] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The net body 1 is made of electroplated steel, which has higher hardness and wear resistance, making it suitable for use in harsher electroplating environments. During electroplating operations, the net is placed in the electroplating tank, and the parts to be electroplated are suspended inside the net. The special design of the net ensures that even if parts accidentally fall into the electroplating tank, they can be quickly captured and gathered together, reducing the workload of manual retrieval and lowering safety risks.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that an antistatic coating is added to the side wall of the net body 1 to reduce electrostatic interference and prevent the adsorption of dust and impurities. The antistatic coating can be made of carbon fiber composite material or conductive polymer, which has good conductivity and corrosion resistance. The application of the antistatic coating can further improve the cleanliness and reliability of the net, and is particularly suitable for electrostatic-sensitive electroplating environments.

[0048] Example 4

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that an adjustable cover is added to the top of the net body 1. This cover can be opened and closed by rotating or sliding to facilitate the insertion and removal of electroplated parts. The cover is made of transparent plastic, providing good visibility and sealing. The addition of the cover prevents external debris from entering the net and allows operators to easily observe the inside of the net.

[0050] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are 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.
