[0045] Example 1:
[0046] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a positioning device for a rotatable vacuum electroplating apparatus, including a rotatable vacuum electroplating apparatus 1 and a cover 2. The cover 2 is disposed on the rotatable vacuum electroplating apparatus 1, and further includes:
[0047] Two telescopic rods 3 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotatable vacuum electroplating device 1. Two turntables 4 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the two telescopic rods 3 respectively. A first groove 5 is opened on one side of the turntable 4. Two sliders 6 are slidably connected in the first groove 5. A clamping plate 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 6.
[0048] Two motors 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotatable vacuum electroplating device 1, and the output shafts of the two motors 8 pass through both sides of the rotatable vacuum electroplating device 1 and extend into the rotatable vacuum electroplating device 1 to be fixed with two telescopic rods 3.
[0049] Two movable slots 9 are respectively opened in two turntables 4 and are respectively connected to two first sliding slots 5. Two first racks 10 are slidably connected in the movable slots 9. One end of the two first racks 10 is respectively fixedly connected to two transmission blocks 11, and one end of the two transmission blocks 11 extends into the turntable 4 and is respectively fixed to two sliders 6.
[0050] Two drive components are located in two turntables 4 respectively, and are used to drive the corresponding two first racks 10 to move.
[0051] Example 2:
[0052] This embodiment provides a positioning device for a rotatable vacuum electroplating apparatus. In addition to the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the driving component includes:
[0053] Rotating groove 12 is opened in turntable 4 and connected to movable groove 9. Gear 13 is rotatably connected in rotating groove 12, and one end of gear 13 extends into movable groove 9 and meshes with two first racks 10.
[0054] The second slide groove 14 is opened in the turntable 4 and communicates with the rotating groove 12. The second slide groove 14 is slidably connected to the second rack 15 that meshes with the gear 13. The second rack 15 is fixedly connected to the second rack 15. The fixed block 16 is threadedly connected to the fixed block 16. One end of the threaded rod 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 18, and one end of the rotating rod 18 passes through the inner wall of the second slide groove 14 and extends to the outside to be rotatably connected to the turntable 4.
[0055] A fixing component is located on the rotating rod 18 and is used to fix the rotating rod 18.
[0056] In operation, the user manually rotates the rotating rod 18, causing the threaded rod 17 to rotate within the second slide groove 14. This causes the fixed block 16 to move downwards along the second slide groove 14 due to the thread action of the threaded rod 17. The fixed block 16 then drives the second rack 15 to move up and down along the second slide groove 14. As the second rack 15 moves up and down, it drives the gear 13 to rotate within the rotating groove 12. When the gear 13 rotates, it drives the two first racks 10 to move closer or further apart along the movable groove 9. When the two first racks 10 move closer or further apart, they drive the two transmission blocks 11 to move closer or further apart, which in turn drives the two sliders 6 to move closer or further apart along the first slide groove 5. This ensures that when the two sliders 6 move closer or further apart, they also drive the two clamping plates 7 to move closer or further apart.
[0057] Example 3:
[0058] This embodiment provides a positioning device for a rotatable vacuum electroplating apparatus. In addition to the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the fixing component includes:
[0059] Threaded groove 19 is formed on the circumference of rotating rod 18, and threaded sleeve 20 is threadedly connected to threaded groove 19.
[0060] In use, the user rotates the threaded sleeve 20 by hand, causing the threaded sleeve 20 to move towards the turntable 4 under the action of the threaded groove 19. When the threaded sleeve 20 moves to a position where it cannot move, the threaded sleeve 20 will fix the rotating rod 18 on the turntable 4 and prevent it from rotating, ensuring that the rotating rod 18 will not be affected by external factors.
[0061] Example 4:
[0062] This embodiment provides a positioning device for a rotatable vacuum electroplating apparatus. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the threaded sleeve 20 is made of anti-slip material.
[0063] Specifically, it is ensured that the threaded sleeve 20 will not slip when the user rotates it by hand.
[0064] Example 5:
[0065] This embodiment provides a positioning device for a rotatable vacuum electroplating apparatus. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the gear 13 is rotatably connected to the movable groove 9.
[0066] Specifically, it is ensured that when gear 13 rotates, gear 13 can rotate normally within the movable groove 9.
[0067] Example 6:
[0068] This embodiment provides a positioning device for a rotatable vacuum electroplating apparatus. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the fixing block 16 is located in the second slide groove 14 and is slidably connected to the second slide groove 14.
[0069] Specifically, it is ensured that when the fixed block 16 slides, the fixed block 16 can slide normally within the second slide groove 14.
[0070] Example 7:
[0071] This embodiment provides a positioning device for a rotatable vacuum electroplating apparatus. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the threaded rod 17 is located in the second slide groove 14 and is rotatably connected to the second slide groove 14.
[0072] Specifically, it is ensured that when the threaded rod 17 rotates, the threaded rod 17 can rotate normally within the second slide groove 14.
[0073] In use, the user opens the lid 2 and places the item between the two turntables 4 in a suitable position. The user then activates the two telescopic rods 3, causing their output ends to move the two turntables 4 closer together. When the two turntables 4 reach the desired position, they clamp and secure the item. The user then manually rotates the two rotating rods 18, causing the threaded rod 17 to rotate within the second slide groove 14. This causes the fixing block 16 to move downwards along the second slide groove 14 due to the threaded action of the threaded rod 17. The fixing block 16 then moves the second rack 15 up and down along the second slide groove 14. As the second rack 15 moves up and down, it drives the gear 13 to rotate within the rotating groove 12. When the gear 13 rotates, it drives the two first racks 1... The two first racks 10 move closer or further apart along the movable groove 9. When the two first racks 10 move closer or further apart, they will drive the two transmission blocks 11 to move closer or further apart, causing the two transmission blocks 11 to drive the two sliders 6 to move closer or further apart along the first slide groove 5. This ensures that when the two sliders 6 move closer or further apart, they will drive the two clamping plates 7 to move closer or further apart. When the corresponding two clamping plates 7 move closer, the multiple clamping plates 7 will fix the object of any size. Then, the user can rotate the two threaded sleeves 20 by hand, so that the threaded sleeves 20 are moved towards the turntable 4 by the action of the threaded groove 19. When the threaded sleeves 20 move to the position where they cannot move, the threaded sleeves 20 will fix the rotating rod 18 on the turntable 4 and prevent it from rotating.
