[0026] 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.

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an electroplating production line, comprising:

[0029] The rolling suspended platform assembly includes a support frame 13, a suspended platform 11 rotatably connected inside the support frame 13, and a rotating transmission component that is pulsatically connected to the suspended platform 11 inside the support frame 13.

[0030] Several electroplating tanks 24 are arranged side by side, and the top openings of the electroplating tanks 24 are provided. A first rotation drive assembly is provided on the electroplating tanks 24.

[0031] The turnover trolley 1 is slidably arranged along the arrangement direction of several electroplating tanks 24. A lifting frame 12 is slidably arranged inside the turnover trolley 1 via a lifting drive component. The lifting frame 12 is correspondingly arranged with the support frame 13. A second rotation drive component is also provided on the turnover trolley 1.

[0032] When the support frame 13 is in the electroplating tank 24, the first rotation drive assembly is connected to the rotation transmission component. When the lifting frame 12 raises the support frame 13 to a high position, the second rotation drive assembly is connected to the rotation transmission component.

[0033] The main function of the basket 11 is to hold the workpiece and ensure that the electroplating solution is in contact with the workpiece. The main function of the first rotation drive assembly is to drive the basket 11 to rotate around its own axis through a rotation transmission component when the basket 11 is in the electroplating tank 24. The main function of the turnover trolley 1 is to move the basket 11 towards the next electroplating tank 24. The main function of the lifting frame 12 is to drive the basket 11 to rise or fall under the drive of the lifting drive component. The main function of the second rotation drive assembly is to drive the basket 11 to rotate around its own axis through a rotation transmission component when the basket 11 is in a high position. Overall, this utility model achieves the purpose of automatically transferring the basket to the next electroplating tank by setting up a turnover trolley, thereby improving work efficiency. At the same time, by setting up the first and second rotation drive assemblies, when the basket is in the electroplating tank, the rotation of the basket can ensure that the workpiece is in full contact with the electroplating solution. When the basket is lifted to a high position, the rotation of the basket can splash off the residual electroplating solution on the surface of the workpiece, effectively improving the electroplating quality.

[0034] In a further optimized design, the bottom of the turnover trolley 1 is equipped with traveling wheels 2, and a rolling drive motor (not shown in the figure) is installed between the traveling wheels 2 and the turnover trolley to drive the traveling wheels 2 to rotate. Slide rails 3 are also provided on both sides of the electroplating tank 24. The slide rails 3 are fixedly connected to the ground by brackets (not shown in the figure), and the traveling wheels 2 roll on the slide rails 3 to realize the movement of the turnover trolley 1.

[0035] Further optimize the plan, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the rotating transmission component includes a fourth gear 10 coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the basket 11, and a rotating rod 8 rotatably connected to the support frame 13. The rotating rod 8 is arranged parallel to the basket 11. A third gear 9 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 8. The third gear 9 meshes with the fourth gear 10. One end of the rotating rod 8 passes through the support frame 13 and is coaxially fixedly connected to a second gear 7.

[0036] When the support frame 13 is in the electroplating tank 24, the second gear 7 is connected to the first rotation drive assembly. When the lifting frame 12 raises the support frame 13 to a high position, the fourth gear 10 is connected to the second rotation drive assembly.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the end face of the suspended basket 11 along the axial direction is a regular hexagon, and the diameter of the fourth gear 10 is larger than the diameter of the circumcircle of the suspended basket 11.

[0038] In a further optimized design, the first rotation drive assembly includes a first motor 5 fixedly connected to the side wall of the electroplating tank 24, and the output end of the first motor 5 is connected to a first gear 6, which is adapted to a second gear 7.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a reducer is also fixedly connected to the side wall of the electroplating tank 24. The output end of the first motor 5 drives the first gear 6 to rotate through the reducer, and ensures that the first gear 6 and the second gear 7 are in the same plane.

[0040] In a further optimized design, the second rotary drive distribution assembly includes a second motor 15 fixedly connected to the rotating trolley 1, and the output end of the second motor 15 is connected to a fifth gear 16, which is adapted to the fourth gear 10.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second motor 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the trolley. When the basket 11 is in a high position, since the second motor 15 is on one side, the fourth gear 10 will give the fifth gear 16 a force to the side, so that the fifth gear 16 and the fourth gear 10 always remain meshed. By driving the fifth gear 16 to rotate through the second motor 15, the fourth gear 10 can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the basket 11 to rotate. When the basket 11 rotates, the residual electroplating liquid on the surface of the workpiece can be thrown out from the opening in the side wall of the basket 11.

[0042] In a further optimized design, the bottom ends of the lifting frame 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the second placement slots 25, and the top of the support frame 13 is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 14. When the lifting frame 12 raises the support frame 13 to a high position, the two ends of the lifting rod 14 are respectively set to correspond with the two second placement slots 25.

[0043] In a further optimized design, several first placement slots 4 are fixedly connected to the top two sides of the electroplating tank 24, and several support rods 27 are fixedly connected inside the support frame 13. When the support frame 13 is in the electroplating tank 24, the several support rods 27 are respectively located in the several first placement slots 4.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the support rods 27 are configured in two sets, and the first placement groove 4 on one side of the electroplating tank 24 is also configured in two sets.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, when electroplating is completed in one electroplating tank 24 and needs to be transferred to the next electroplating tank, the lifting frame 12 is raised, and the second placement tank 25 rises together and abuts against the bottom of both ends of the lifting rod 14. As the lifting frame 12 continues to rise, the lifting rod 14 continues to rise, thereby raising the support frame 13, and then raising the basket 11 from the electroplating tank 24 to above the electroplating tank 24, which facilitates the next step of the transfer trolley 1.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, when the turnover trolley 1 moves above the electroplating tank 24 of the next station, the lifting frame 12 descends until the support rod 27 contacts the first placement groove 4. At this time, the basket 11 is in the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 24. The second gear 7 meshes with the first gear 6. The first motor 5 drives the first gear 6 to rotate. The first gear 6 drives the third gear 9 to rotate through the second gear 7 and the rotating rod 8. The third gear 9 drives the fourth gear 10 to rotate, so that the basket 11 rotates in the electroplating tank 24, allowing the workpieces in it to fully contact the electroplating solution.

[0047] Further optimization of the scheme: the lifting drive component includes a third motor 17 fixedly connected to the top of the turnover trolley 1. The output shaft of the third motor 17 is connected to a reel 18. One end of two sets of lifting belts 19 are fixedly connected to the reel 18, and the two lifting belts 19 are respectively wound around the reel 18. The other ends of the two lifting belts 19 are respectively fixedly connected to the top two sides of the lifting frame 12.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the reel 18 rotates, it will wind around the lifting belt 19 in both the upper and lower directions, realizing the synchronous winding and release of the two sets of lifting belts 19. Thus, when the third motor 17 drives the reel 18 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction through the reduction gearbox (not shown in the figure), it can drive the lifting frame 12 to rise or fall.

[0049] In a further optimized design, an opening is provided on one side wall of the suspended platform 11, and a plug 21 is fitted inside the opening. A snap-fit ​​rod 22 is rotatably connected to the side of the plug 21 away from the suspended platform 11 in a direction parallel to the plane of the plug 21. Connecting plates 26 are fixedly connected to both sides of the opening, and slots 23 are provided on the connecting plates 26. The slots 23 are correspondingly set with the snap-fit ​​rod 22.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, when the locking rod 22 is rotated so that both ends of the locking rod 22 disengage from the locking slot 23, the plug 21 can be removed from the basket 11, allowing workpieces to be placed or removed from the basket 11. Similarly, after the plug 21 is placed in the opening, the plug 21 can be fixed by rotating the locking rod 22 in the opposite direction so that both ends of the locking rod 22 are inserted into the locking slot 23.

[0051] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
