Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a square rolling electroplating hanger. Background Technology
[0002] 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 is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts, thereby preventing metal oxidation (such as rust), improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (such as copper sulfate), and enhancing aesthetics.
[0003] Currently, electroplating involves hanging products one by one. However, improper hanging methods can lead to workpiece obstruction or poor contact, resulting in uneven current distribution and causing localized thin plating layers, missed plating areas, or rough surfaces. To address these shortcomings of existing technology, a square-shaped rolling electroplating rack has been developed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a square rolling electroplating rack to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] A square-shaped rolling electroplating rack includes a suspension frame with support plates installed at both ends of the suspension frame, the two support plates being arranged parallel to each other at intervals; electroplating fixtures, multiple electroplating fixtures being rotatably mounted vertically at intervals between the two support plates; and a drive mechanism, the drive mechanism being installed on the suspension frame and being connected to the multiple electroplating fixtures in a transmission connection.
[0007] Further, the electroplating fixture includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate, which are arranged in parallel with a gap between them. The top of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are connected by at least two upper limit rods, and the bottom is connected by at least two lower limit rods. The upper limit rods are provided with multiple upper limit grooves spaced apart along the length direction, and the lower limit rods are provided with multiple lower limit grooves corresponding to the multiple upper limit grooves. An anti-detachment component is provided on both sides between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. A rotating shaft is provided on both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate, one of which is connected to the driving mechanism. An electroplating mold is also provided. An electroplating mold is installed between the corresponding upper and lower limit grooves, with the top of the electroplating mold inserted into the upper limit groove and the bottom inserted into the lower limit groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the anti-detachment component includes a stop bar, one end of which extends through the second clamping plate and is inserted into a groove on the first clamping plate, and the other end is connected to a limiting block; and a screw rod, which passes through the second clamping plate on the other side of the second clamping plate and is locked to the limiting block.
[0009] Furthermore, the square rolling electroplating hanger of this utility model also includes a wing nut, wherein the screw passes through the second clamping plate and the limiting block and is threadedly connected to the wing nut.
[0010] Furthermore, the side of the stop bar is provided with multiple through slots spaced apart along its length.
[0011] Furthermore, the square rolling electroplating rack of this utility model also includes reinforcing rods, with at least two reinforcing rods distributed and installed between the two support plates.
[0012] Furthermore, the square rolling electroplating rack of this utility model also includes a first rotating wheel, each electroplating fixture is drivenly connected to a first rotating wheel, wherein adjacent first rotating wheels are drivenly connected, and the driving mechanism is drivenly connected to one of the first rotating wheels.
[0013] Furthermore, the square rolling electroplating rack of this utility model also includes a second rotating wheel, and adjacent first rotating wheels are connected by a second rotating wheel transmission. The drive mechanism is connected to one of the first rotating wheels by a second rotating wheel transmission.
[0014] Furthermore, the square rolling electroplating rack of this utility model also includes a rotating shaft, a support, a locking component, a collar, an auxiliary shaft, and an anti-detachment component; the first rotating wheel is connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and the other end of the rotating shaft passes through a support plate and is connected to the support. The support has an annular groove on its circumferential side and an installation groove with a side opening on its end face. The locking component is fitted into the annular groove and has a notch. The installation groove is used to install one end of the electroplating mold. When the locking component is rotated, the notch deviates from the side opening, and the locking component restricts the electroplating mold on the support. One end of the auxiliary shaft is connected to the second rotating wheel, and the other end passes through a support plate and is connected to the anti-detachment component. A collar is fitted between the anti-detachment component and the support plate.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments in this application. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application. Example
[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, this embodiment presents a square rolling electroplating rack that can support large-scale electroplating of workpieces. The structure includes a suspension frame, electroplating fixtures 3, and a drive mechanism. The suspension frame is installed at the top of the electroplating tank, suspending the entire structure within the tank. Support plates 1 are installed at both ends of the suspension frame, with the two support plates 1 spaced apart and arranged in parallel. Multiple electroplating fixtures 3 are vertically spaced and rotatably mounted between the two support plates 1. The drive mechanism is installed on the suspension frame and is connected to the multiple electroplating fixtures 3 for transmission.
[0029] One structure of the suspension frame includes a suspension rod 11 and a suspension bracket 12, with the suspension bracket 12 installed at both ends of the suspension rod 11. The suspension bracket 12 can be attached to the top of the electroplating tank, thus enabling the suspension frame to be installed on the top of the electroplating tank.
[0030] Electroplating fixtures are used to hold and mount electroplated workpieces.
[0031] The drive mechanism serves as the driving force source for the rotation of multiple electroplating fixtures. These fixtures rotate simultaneously under the drive of the drive mechanism.
[0032] In some alternative embodiments, one structure of the electroplating fixture is provided. For example... Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the electroplating fixture 3 includes a first clamping plate 31, a second clamping plate 34, a rotating shaft 35, and an electroplating mold 33. The first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 34 are arranged in parallel with intervals. The top of the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 34 are connected by at least two upper limit rods 32, and the bottom is connected by at least two lower limit rods 36. The upper limit rods 32 are provided with multiple upper limit grooves 321 spaced apart along the length direction, and the lower limit rods 36 are provided with multiple lower limit grooves corresponding to the multiple upper limit grooves 321. At least one detachable first anti-detachment component 37 is installed on both sides between the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 34. The first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 34 are both equipped with rotating shafts 35, one of which is connected to a drive mechanism. An electroplating mold 33 is installed between the corresponding upper limit groove 321 and the lower limit groove. The top of the electroplating mold 33 is inserted into the upper limit groove 321, and the bottom is inserted into the lower limit groove (not shown in the figure).
[0033] The first clamping plate 31, the second clamping plate 34, the multiple upper limit rods 32 at the top, the multiple lower limit rods 36 at the bottom, and the first anti-detachment component 37 on the side constitute a accommodating space. Multiple electroplating molds 33 are installed side-by-side at intervals within this accommodating space. The electroplating molds are used to hold multiple workpieces to be electroplated. It is understood that the electroplating molds can be commonly used plate-shaped electroplating molds.
[0034] The upper limit rod 32 has multiple spaced upper limit grooves 321. The lower limit rod 36 has multiple lower limit grooves corresponding to the upper limit rod 32. It is understood that the upper limit grooves 321 are located at the bottom of the upper limit rod 32, and the bottom of the upper limit grooves 321 is open.
[0035] The lower limit rod 36 has multiple lower limit slots corresponding to the upper limit slot 321 on the upper limit rod 32. It is understood that the lower limit slots are located at the top of the lower limit rod. The top of the lower limit slots is open.
[0036] An electroplating mold 33 is installed between each set of corresponding upper limit groove 321 and lower limit groove. Under the restriction of the upper limit groove and lower limit groove, the electroplating molds can achieve parallel spacing between adjacent electroplating molds, so that each electroplating mold can fully contact the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank.
[0037] The rotating shaft 35 on the first clamping plate 31 is rotatably connected to the support plate 1. In one type of rotatable connection, the rotating shaft 35 and the support plate 1 are connected via bearings.
[0038] The anti-slip component is detachably installed between the first clamp and the second clamp.
[0039] One method of using the anti-detachment component: First, install the anti-detachment component on one side between the first and second clamping plates. Then, install the electroplating molds in parallel, spaced apart, between the upper and lower limit rods. The top of each electroplating mold is inserted into the upper limit groove, and the bottom into the lower limit groove. This allows adjacent electroplating molds to be fixed and limited, while also maintaining the spacing between them to prevent them from colliding. After multiple electroplating molds are installed between the upper and lower limit rods, install the anti-detachment component on the other side between the first and second clamping plates.
[0040] In some alternative embodiments, one structure for the anti-detachment component is provided. The first anti-detachment component 37 includes a stop bar 371 and a screw 375. One end of the stop bar 371 extends through the second clamping plate 34 and is inserted into the recess 311 on the first clamping plate 31, and the other end is connected to the limiting block 373; the screw 375 passes through the other side of the second clamping plate 34 and is locked to the limiting block 373.
[0041] Understandably, the limiting block 373 is located on the side of the second clamping plate 34 away from the first clamping plate 31.
[0042] When the screw 375 is locked to the limit block 373, the stop rod 371 is fixed to the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 34. The groove 311 can provide support and restriction for one end of the stop rod.
[0043] When the screw 375 is released from the locking connection with the limit block 373, the stop bar 371 can be disassembled from between the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 34.
[0044] It should be noted that the screw is a capped screw.
[0045] In some alternative embodiments, one connection method for the screw is provided: an additional wing nut 374 is installed. The screw 375 passes through the second clamping plate 34, the limiting block 373, and is threadedly connected to the wing nut 374.
[0046] Tighten the wing nut 374, and the screw 375 and the wing nut 374 clamp and fix the limiting block 373 on the second clamping plate 34, thereby fixing the stop bar 371 on the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.
[0047] Tighten the wing nut 374 to disengage it from the screw 375, and the limit block 373 will be unlocked, allowing the stop bar 371 to be removed from between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.
[0048] In some alternative embodiments, the side of the baffle 371 is provided with a plurality of through slots 372 spaced apart along its length. The plurality of through slots facilitate the flow of the electroplating solution during electroplating.
[0049] In some alternative embodiments, reinforcing rods 2 are added to enhance the installation stability of the two support plates. At least two reinforcing rods 2 are distributed and installed between the two support plates 1.
[0050] The number of reinforcing rods can be 2, 3, or 4. Multiple reinforcing rods working together ensure a stable connection between the two support plates.
[0051] In some alternative embodiments, a transmission structure is provided, in which a first rotating wheel 4 is added. Each electroplating fixture 3 is drivenly connected to a first rotating wheel 4, wherein adjacent first rotating wheels 4 are drivenly connected, and a drive mechanism is drivenly connected to one of the first rotating wheels 4.
[0052] In some optional embodiments, a transmission structure is provided between adjacent first rotating wheels, the drive mechanism, and the first rotating wheels, with a second rotating wheel 5 added. Adjacent first rotating wheels 4 are connected by a second rotating wheel 5, and the drive mechanism is connected to one of the first rotating wheels 4 by a second rotating wheel 5.
[0053] In some optional embodiments, a rotating mounting structure for the first and second rotating wheels is provided, with the addition of a rotating shaft 18, a support 13, a locking member 14, a collar 15, an auxiliary shaft 16, and a second anti-detachment member 17. The first rotating wheel 4 is drivenly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 18, and the other end of the rotating shaft 18 passes through the support plate 1 and is connected to the support 13. The circumferential side of the support 13 has an annular groove, and the end face has a mounting groove 131 with a side opening. The locking member 14 is fitted into the annular groove and has a notch 141. The mounting groove 131 is used to install one end of the electroplating mold 33. When the locking member 14 is rotated, the notch 141 deviates from the side opening, and the locking member 14 restricts the electroplating mold 33 to the support 13. One end of the auxiliary shaft 16 is connected to the second rotating wheel 5, and the other end passes through the support plate 1 and is connected to the second anti-detachment member 17. A collar 15 is fitted between the second anti-detachment member 17 and the support plate 1.
[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting groove 131 has a square shape with an opening on one side. The mounting groove 131 is used to support the mounting shaft 35.
[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to match the mounting slot with the shaft near the support, the shaft 35 mounted on the second clamping plate 34 can be a square rod. It is understood that the shaft mounted on the first clamping plate 31 can be a cylindrical structure.
[0056] One installation method for the shaft 35 near the first rotating wheel and the support 13: Align the notch 141 of the locking member 14 with the side opening on the mounting groove 131, then insert the shaft 35 into the mounting groove 131 from the notch 141 and the side opening of the mounting groove 131, and then rotate the locking member 14 so that the notch 141 of the locking member 14 is offset from the side opening of the mounting groove.
[0057] When the locking element is rotated, it can be rotated to form a 90° angle between the notch 141 and the side opening. At this time, the locking element 14 restricts the rotating shaft 35 within the mounting groove 131. The rotating shaft and the mounting groove are matched and installed. When the first rotating wheel rotates, the first rotating wheel drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, the rotating shaft 18 drives the support and the locking element to rotate, the support drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the electroplating fixture 3 to rotate. It is understood that...
[0058] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 9, a drive shaft 8 and a fourth rotating wheel 7. One end of the drive shaft 8 is connected to the drive motor 9, and the other end is connected to the fourth rotating wheel 7 through a support plate 1.
[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple electroplating fixtures 3 are vertically spaced between the two support plates 1. Adjacent electroplating fixtures do not affect each other and can each rotate independently.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the transmission structure between the drive mechanism and multiple electroplating fixtures is such that each first rotating wheel 4 is connected to an electroplating fixture 3, and adjacent first rotating wheels 4 are connected to each other through a second rotating wheel 5.
[0061] The transmission structure between the fourth rotating wheel 7 and the first rotating wheel 4 located at the top is as follows: the fourth rotating wheel 7 is connected to the third rotating wheel 6, the third rotating wheel 6 is connected to the second rotating wheel 5, and the second rotating wheel is connected to the first rotating wheel 4 located at the top.
[0062] Understandably, the first rotating wheel 4, the second rotating wheel 5, the third rotating wheel 6, and the fourth rotating wheel 7 can all be gears. The first rotating wheel is meshed with the second rotating wheel 5 for transmission, the second rotating wheel 5 is meshed with the third rotating wheel 6 for transmission, and the third rotating wheel 6 is meshed with the fourth rotating wheel 7 for transmission.
[0063] To protect the drive motor 9, a housing 10 is added, and the drive motor 9 can be sealed and installed inside the housing 10.
[0064] It should be noted that the installation structure of the third rotating wheel 6 is the same as that of the second rotating wheel 5. That is, one installation method of the third rotating wheel 6 is as follows: the third rotating wheel 6 is connected to one end of an auxiliary shaft 16 by a key, the other end of the auxiliary shaft 16 is connected to the second anti-detachment component 17 through a support plate, and a collar 15 is sleeved on the auxiliary shaft 16 between the anti-detachment component and the support plate.
[0065] A collar provides axial positioning and fixation, preventing axial displacement of the wheel during shaft operation and ensuring the stability of the mechanical structure.
[0066] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
