Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nickel conductive layer carbon nanotube processing technology, and in particular to a nickel conductive layer carbon nanotube processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Nickel-conductive carbon nanotubes typically refer to carbon nanotubes with a layer of nickel plated on their surface. This material combines the excellent conductivity of carbon nanotubes with the specific properties of nickel, thus exhibiting unique advantages in certain applications. A chemical electroplating surface treatment technique is used to uniformly plate a nickel layer onto the surface of the carbon nanotubes. This step aims to improve the conductivity, corrosion resistance, and adhesion to other materials of the carbon nanotubes; the electroplating process requires specialized equipment for processing nickel-conductive carbon nanotubes.

[0003] Previous nickel-conductive carbon nanotube processing devices have the following drawbacks: 1. They are not convenient for simultaneously clamping and automatically feeding multiple carbon nanotubes, resulting in low production efficiency; and 2. They cannot significantly improve protection during the electroplating process through a glass enclosure. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a nickel-conductive carbon nanotube processing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a nickel conductive layer carbon nanotube processing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A nickel conductive layer carbon nanotube processing apparatus includes a base, an electroplating tank, a glass cover, and an electric cylinder;

[0007] An electroplating tank is bolted to the top of the base. A conductive metal plate A is inserted through one side of the bottom of the electroplating tank. A nickel plate is bolted to one end of the conductive metal plate A inside the electroplating tank via a U-shaped groove. Electric cylinders are mounted on the top of the base and at both ends of the electroplating tank via connecting plates. An L-shaped fixing plate is mounted to the output shaft of the electric cylinder via screws. A glass cover is bolted between the L-shaped fixing plates and is located at the top of the electroplating tank. Adjusting screws are mounted on both sides of the glass cover via screw holes. A conductive metal plate B is connected to the inner side of the adjusting screw via a bearing. L-shaped positioning rods are welded at equal intervals to the bottom of the conductive metal plate B.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: a discharge pipe is provided on one side of the bottom of the electroplating tank, and a sealing cap is engaged on the outside of the discharge pipe.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a metal terminal is provided at the other end of the conductive metal plate A, located outside the electroplating tank.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: both sides of the top of the glass cover are fitted with wire sleeves through wire holes, and the wire sleeves are made of PP material. The wires pass through the wire sleeves. Since the wire sleeves are made of PP material, they have high elasticity and good toughness, and have the function of binding wires, resulting in a good sealing effect.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, an addition port is provided at one end of the top of the glass cover.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a timer is installed at the other end of the top of the glass cover by screws. The timer is used to keep track of the electroplating time and automatically issue an early warning when the set time is reached to remind the staff.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. Using an auxiliary material plate, place carbon tubes evenly spaced on the top of the electroplating tank. Once the carbon tubes are positioned between corresponding L-shaped positioning rods on both sides, use an electric cylinder to move the L-shaped positioning rods downwards and into the holes of the carbon tubes. Rotate the adjusting screws inwards to move the L-shaped positioning rods towards each other, thereby clamping and fixing multiple carbon tubes. Remove the auxiliary material plate, and use an electric cylinder to move the glass cover to the top of the electroplating tank, immersing the carbon tubes in the electrolyte of the electroplating tank.

[0015] 2. Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the metal terminal at one end of the conductive metal plate A via a wire, and connect the negative terminal of the power supply to the conductive metal plate B via a wire. The wire passes through the wire sleeve. Since the wire sleeve is made of PP material, it has high elasticity and good toughness, functions as a wire bundle, and has a good sealing effect. After the power is applied, the nickel plate is ionized and consumed, and nickel ions adhere to the surface of the carbon tube to form a nickel conductive layer. The nickel conductive layer carbon tube processing device can easily clamp multiple carbon tubes at the same time and feed them automatically, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the glass cover greatly improves the protection during the electroplating process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 In this embodiment of the present invention, a nickel conductive layer carbon tube processing device includes a base 1, an electroplating tank 5, a glass cover 9, and an electric cylinder 14.

[0022] An electroplating tank 5 is bolted to the top of the base 1. A conductive metal plate A4 is installed through one side of the bottom of the electroplating tank 5. A nickel plate 16 is installed at one end of the conductive metal plate A4 inside the electroplating tank 5 via a U-shaped clamping groove 17 and bolts. An electric cylinder 14 is installed at the top of the base 1 and at both ends of the electroplating tank 5 via connecting plates. An L-shaped fixing plate 13 is installed on the output shaft of the electric cylinder 14 via screws. A glass cover 9 is bolted between the L-shaped fixing plates 13 and is located at the top of the electroplating tank 5. Adjusting screws 8 are installed on both sides of the glass cover 9 via screw holes. A conductive metal plate B7 is connected to the inner side of the adjusting screw 8 via a bearing 15. L-shaped positioning rods 6 are welded at equal intervals to the bottom of the conductive metal plate B7.

[0023] The electroplating tank 5 has a discharge pipe 3 on one side of its bottom end, and a sealing cover 2 is engaged on the outside of the discharge pipe 3; opening the sealing cover 2 allows the discharge pipe 3 to facilitate the discharge of electrolyte from the electroplating tank 5.

[0024] A metal terminal is provided at the other end of the conductive metal plate A4, located outside the electroplating tank 5; the positive terminal of the power supply is connected to the metal terminal at one end of the conductive metal plate A4 via a wire.

[0025] The glass cover 9 has wire sleeves 10 installed on both sides of the top through wire holes, and the wire sleeves 10 are made of PP material. The wire passes through the wire sleeves 10. Since the wire sleeves 10 are made of PP material, they have high elasticity and good toughness, and have the function of bundling wires and good sealing effect.

[0026] The glass cover 9 has an addition port 11 at one end of its top; the addition port 11 facilitates the addition of electrolyte into the electroplating tank 5.

[0027] The other end of the top of the glass cover 9 is equipped with a timer 12 by screws; the timer 12 is used to keep track of the electroplating time and will automatically issue an alert to remind the staff when the set time is reached.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Using an auxiliary material plate, carbon tubes are placed at equal intervals on the top of the electroplating tank 5. Once the carbon tubes are positioned between corresponding L-shaped positioning rods 6 on both sides, the electric cylinder 14 moves the L-shaped positioning rods 6 downwards, aligning them with the holes in the carbon tubes. Rotating the adjusting screws 8 inwards moves the L-shaped positioning rods 6 towards each other, thereby clamping and fixing multiple carbon tubes. The auxiliary material plate is then removed, and the electric cylinder 14 moves the glass cover 9 to the top of the electroplating tank 5, immersing the positioned carbon tubes in the electrolyte of the electroplating tank 5. The positive terminal of the power supply is then connected... The wire is connected to the metal terminal at one end of the conductive metal plate A4, and the negative terminal of the power supply is connected to the conductive metal plate B7 through the wire. The wire passes through the wire sleeve 10. Since the wire sleeve 10 is made of PP material, it has high elasticity and good toughness, has the function of wire bundling, and has a good sealing effect. After the power is turned on, the nickel plate 16 is ionized and consumed, and nickel ions are attached to the surface of the carbon tube to form a nickel conductive layer. The nickel conductive layer carbon tube processing device can easily clamp multiple carbon tubes at the same time and feed them automatically, improving production efficiency. In addition, the glass cover 9 greatly improves the protection during the electroplating process.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
