Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Hardware refers to tools made of metals such as gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin through processing and casting, used for fixing things, processing things, decoration, etc.
[0003] Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of another metal or alloy onto the surface of certain metals using the principle of electrolysis. It utilizes electrolysis to coat the surface of metal or other material parts with a metallic film, thereby preventing metal oxidation (such as rust), improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (e.g., copper sulfate), and enhancing aesthetics. Many coins also have an electroplated outer layer, and electroplating is frequently used in the production of hardware components.
[0004] Existing electroplating equipment for hardware has the following disadvantages: during the electroplating process, the electrolyte is often left to stand still, which prevents some areas of the hardware from fully contacting the electroplating solution, thus reducing the electroplating quality and efficiency. In addition, impurities that fall off the surface of the hardware can also affect the use of the electrolyte. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides an electroplating apparatus for hardware components, featuring a circulation mechanism. This addresses the issue that in existing electroplating processes, the electrolyte is often left to stand still, preventing sufficient contact between parts of the hardware component and the plating solution.

[0021] The following will be combined with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This utility model will be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
