[0002] Metal gaskets are sealing elements used in the connection parts of machinery and equipment. They are usually made of metal and play an indispensable role in many industrial fields such as machinery manufacturing, automobiles, aerospace, petrochemicals, and power. For example, in machinery manufacturing, they are used in the connection parts of various mechanical equipment, such as engines and gearboxes, to seal, prevent loosening, and reduce vibration, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0003] During production, metal gaskets are typically gold-plated. Gold plating forms a dense protective film on the surface of the metal gasket, effectively isolating it from contact with external corrosive media, greatly improving its corrosion resistance, and extending its service life. The gold-plated metal gasket has a golden luster, providing a good decorative effect and making it more attractive in products where appearance is important, thus meeting the aesthetic and product design needs of different customers.

[0004] In existing gold plating equipment used for metal gasket production, the metal gasket does not have sufficient contact with the electroplating solution, making it difficult for different parts of the gasket to make more uniform contact with the electroplating solution, resulting in poor electroplating effect and inconsistent plating thickness.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a gold plating device for the production of metal gaskets. Utility Model Content

[0012] Preferably, a protective cover is fixed to the top of the support plate; the protective cover is positioned corresponding to the second motor; through the above structure, the second motor can be effectively protected, reducing the chance of it being splashed by the electroplating solution, thereby extending the service life of the second motor.

[0013] Preferably, the outer material of the positioning rod is rubber; the fixing plate is made of plastic.

[0023] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a gold plating device for producing metal gaskets includes a base plate 1; a gold plating box 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1; a side plate 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the gold plating box 11; a groove plate 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the side plate 12; a first motor 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the groove plate 13; a lead screw 15 is rotatably connected inside the groove plate 13; and the lead screw 15 is connected to the output end of the first motor 14; a T-shaped plate 16 is threadedly connected to the middle of the lead screw 15; a support plate 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the T-shaped plate 16; a second motor 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 17; a rotating shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support plate 17, and the rotating shaft 19 is connected to the output end of the second motor 18; a first connecting plate 111 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 19; a placement basket 112 is detachably connected to the first connecting plate 111; during operation, an electroplating solution is added to the gold plating box 11 to plating the gold... The metal pad is placed in the placement basket 112. The first motor 14 is started, which drives the lead screw 15 to rotate inside the tank plate 13. As the lead screw 15 rotates, it drives the T-shaped plate 16 to move. The movement of the T-shaped plate 16 drives the placement basket 112 to move, so that the metal pad in the placement basket 112 comes into contact with the solution in the gold plating box 11. Then the second motor 18 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 19 to rotate. As the rotating shaft 19 rotates, it drives the placement basket 112 to rotate. Through the above structure, the metal pad can be effectively brought into full contact with the electroplating solution, so that all parts of the pad can be in contact with the electroplating solution more evenly. This reduces the difference in plating thickness caused by uneven distribution of metal ion concentration in the solution. At the same time, the rotation of the placement basket 112 can promote the convection of the electroplating solution and accelerate the transfer of metal ions to the surface of the pad, which is beneficial to improving the electroplating rate.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the top of the first connecting plate 111 has two symmetrically arranged openings 2; the top of the first connecting plate 111 has two sets of symmetrically arranged grooves 21, and the grooves 21 are perpendicular to the openings 2; a positioning plate 22 is slidably connected inside the grooves 21; a connecting rod 23 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the positioning plate 22; a second connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 23; the second connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement basket 112; during operation, the placement basket 112 needs to be cleaned after prolonged use. Pull the placement basket 112 upwards to slide the positioning plate 22 out of the groove 21, then rotate the positioning plate 22 and pull the placement basket 112 downwards to pull the positioning plate 22 out from the opening 2. Through the above structure, the placement basket 112 can be quickly disassembled, making it convenient for workers to clean various parts of the placement basket 112. When the placement basket 112 is damaged, the damaged placement basket 112 can be quickly removed and replaced with a new placement basket 112, effectively reducing the downtime of the device and thus improving work efficiency.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the first connecting plate 111 is fixed with two symmetrically arranged connecting seats 3; the connecting seats 3 are located at positions corresponding to the grooves 21; a fixing plate 31 is hinged to the side wall of the connecting seat 3; two symmetrically arranged positioning holes 32 are opened on the top of the first connecting plate 111; a positioning rod 33 is slidably connected inside the positioning holes 32; the positioning rod 33 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate 31; during operation, during the gold plating process, the positioning plate 22 may slide out of the groove 21. By moving the fixing plate 31, the positioning rod 33 at the bottom of the fixing plate 31 is inserted into the positioning hole 32. Through the above structure, the positioning plate 22 can be effectively fixed, reducing the possibility of the positioning plate 22 sliding out of the groove 21, thereby improving the stability of the placement basket 112 and indirectly improving the gold plating effect of the pad.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the side plate 12 has two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves 4; a slider 42 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 4; a guide rod 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the slider 42; the guide rod 41 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the T-shaped plate 16; during operation, when the T-shaped plate 16 moves, the T-shaped plate 16 will drive the guide rod 41 to move, at which time the slider 42 at the end of the guide rod 41 slides inside the sliding groove 4. Through the above structure, the T-shaped plate 16 can be effectively guided, reducing the shaking of the T-shaped plate 16 when it moves, thereby improving the overall stability of the device.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, multiple partitions 5 are fixedly connected inside the placement basket 112; the partitions 5 are arranged in a cross pattern; during operation, the partitions 5 are arranged in a cross pattern inside the placement basket 112 to divide the placement basket 112 into multiple cavities. Through the above structure, multiple metal gaskets can be gold-plated at the same time, and the mutual interference between the metal gaskets is reduced, effectively improving the production efficiency of metal gaskets.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a protective cover 6 is fixed to the top of the support plate 17; the protective cover 6 is set at a position corresponding to the second motor 18; during operation, the solution in the gold plating tank 11 may splash onto the second motor 18. By setting the protective cover 6 on the outside of the second motor 18, the second motor 18 can be effectively protected by the above structure, reducing the chance of it being splashed by the electroplating solution, thereby extending the service life of the second motor 18.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer material of the positioning rod 33 is rubber; the fixing plate 31 is plastic. During operation, the outer material of the positioning rod 33 is rubber, which has a certain degree of elasticity, and the fixing plate 31 is plastic, which has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Through the above structure, the friction between the positioning rod 33 and the positioning hole 32 can be effectively increased, making the connection between the positioning rod 33 and the positioning hole 32 tighter. The fixing plate 31 has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which effectively extends its service life.

[0032] During operation, an electroplating solution is added to the gold plating tank 11. A metal pad is placed in the placement basket 112. The first motor 14 is started, driving the lead screw 15 to rotate inside the tank plate 13. Simultaneously, the lead screw 15 moves the T-shaped plate 16, which in turn moves the placement basket 112, bringing the metal pad in the basket into contact with the solution in the gold plating tank 11. Then, the second motor 18 is started, driving the rotating shaft 19 to rotate. This rotation of the shaft causes the placement basket 112 to rotate as well. This structure effectively ensures that the metal pad and the electroplating solution are in full contact, allowing for more uniform contact between all parts of the pad and the solution, reducing the impact of varying metal ion concentrations in the solution. Uneven plating thickness leads to variations in the coating thickness. Simultaneously, the rotation of the placement basket 112 promotes convection of the electroplating solution, accelerating the transport of metal ions to the gasket surface, which is beneficial for improving the electroplating rate. After prolonged use, the placement basket 112 needs cleaning. Dragging the placement basket 112 upwards slides the positioning plate 22 out of the groove 21. Then, rotating the positioning plate 22 and pulling the placement basket 112 downwards pulls the positioning plate 22 out of the opening 2. This structure allows for quick disassembly of the placement basket 112, facilitating cleaning of all parts. When the placement basket 112 is damaged, it can be quickly removed and replaced with a new one, effectively reducing downtime and thus improving efficiency. To improve work efficiency, during the gold plating process, the positioning plate 22 may slide out of the groove 21. Moving the fixing plate 31 allows the positioning rod 33 at the bottom of the fixing plate 31 to be inserted into the positioning hole 32. This structure effectively fixes the positioning plate 22, reducing the likelihood of it sliding out of the groove 21, thus improving the stability of the placement basket 112 and indirectly improving the gold plating effect of the gasket. When the T-shaped plate 16 moves, it drives the guide rod 41 to move. At this time, the slider 42 at the end of the guide rod 41 slides inside the groove 4. This structure effectively guides the T-shaped plate 16, reducing wobbling during movement and improving the overall stability of the device. A partition 5 is installed inside the placement basket 112. The partitions 5 are arranged in a crisscross pattern, dividing the placement basket 112 into multiple cavities. This structure allows for the simultaneous gold plating of multiple metal pads and reduces interference between them, effectively improving the production efficiency of the metal pads. Since the plating solution in the gold plating box 11 may splash onto the second motor 18, a protective cover 6 is installed outside the second motor 18. This structure effectively protects the second motor 18, reducing the chance of it being splashed with the plating solution and extending its service life. The positioning rod 33 is made of rubber, providing elasticity, while the fixing plate 31 is made of plastic, offering good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Through the above structure…This effectively increases the friction between the positioning rod 33 and the positioning hole 32, resulting in a tighter connection between them. The fixing plate 31 also exhibits better wear resistance and corrosion resistance, effectively extending its service life.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
