Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating processing technology, and in particular to a spin dryer for electroplated products. Background Technology

[0002] Alloy electroplating is a process that uses electrolysis to deposit a thin layer of alloy onto the surface of certain metals, thereby obtaining superior material properties. It utilizes electrolysis to coat the surface of metal or other material parts with a metal film, which prevents metal oxidation and improves wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. Electroplating requires a low-voltage, high-current power supply to the electroplating tank and an electrolytic device consisting of an electroplating solution, the part to be plated (cathode), and an anode. The composition of the electroplating solution varies depending on the coating, but all contain a main salt that provides metal ions, a complexing agent that binds the metal ions in the main salt to form complexes, a buffer to stabilize the pH of the solution, an anode activator, and special additives. The electroplating process involves the metal ions in the plating solution being reduced to metal atoms through electrode reactions under the influence of an external electric field, and then deposited on the cathode.

[0003] After electroplating, a significant amount of moisture remains on the surface of the product, especially in smaller parts. Removing this moisture requires a spin-drying device. Current methods for spin-drying small parts involve placing the electroplated product in a mesh screen or similar material with numerous perforations before placing it in the spin-drying equipment. However, when removing the mesh and product after spin-drying, the operator is prone to accidentally lifting the mesh before the equipment has completely stopped. Due to the high friction between the mesh surface and the operator's hand, the operator's hand is easily entangled in the mesh and pulled along, potentially leading to hand injuries. This makes the spin-drying process inherently dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve existing spin-drying equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology and its main purpose is to provide a spin dryer for electroplated products, which can effectively solve the problems of existing spin dryers easily twisting the operator's hand and the high risk of the spin dryer process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A spin dryer for electroplating products includes a housing, a controller, a top cover, a first drive mechanism, a spin dryer, a second drive mechanism, and a speed sensor. The housing has a mounting cavity with an upper opening. The controller is mounted on the housing. The top cover is closable on the housing and covers the upper opening of the mounting cavity. The first drive mechanism is mounted on the housing and controls the opening and closing of the top cover, and is connected to the controller. The spin dryer is rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity and has a receiving cavity with an upper opening. The side wall of the spin dryer has permeable holes for water to be spun out. The second drive mechanism is mounted in the mounting cavity and drives the spin dryer to rotate back and forth, and is connected to the controller. The speed sensor is mounted on the housing and corresponds to the position of the spin dryer, and is connected to the controller.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, a first connecting portion extends outward from one side of the housing, and a second connecting portion mates with the first connecting portion extends outward from one side of the top cover, with the second connecting portion and the first connecting portion connected by a hinge rod.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the outer end of the second connecting part has a transmission rod, and the output end of the first driving mechanism is hinged to the transmission rod to drive the upper cover to open and close.

[0009] As a preferred option, a handle is provided on the other side of the top cover.

[0010] As a preferred option, the bottom of the mounting cavity has an inclined guide surface, and the bottom of the guide surface has a water outlet that communicates with the outside.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the spin-drying drum is rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity via a mounting bracket, and the second drive mechanism is mounted on the mounting bracket and drives the spin-drying drum to rotate back and forth.

[0012] As a preferred option, a marker block is provided on the outer wall of the spin dryer, and the speed sensor is located on the inner wall of the mounting cavity and is at the same height as the marker block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:

[0014] A first drive mechanism is installed on the housing and controls the opening and closing of the top cover. The first drive mechanism is connected to the controller. A speed sensor is installed on the housing and corresponds to the position of the spin-drying drum. The speed sensor is also connected to the controller. After spin-drying, the speed sensor monitors the rotation speed of the spin-drying drum in real time and transmits the data to the controller. When the speed has not dropped to 0, the controller locks the first drive mechanism to prevent the top cover from opening. This ensures that the spin-drying drum is completely stationary when the operator removes the yarn, preventing the operator from being twisted by rotating the yarn. The overall spin-drying process is safer.

[0015] To more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which includes a housing 10, a controller 20, a top cover 30, a first drive mechanism 40, a spin-drying drum 50, a second drive mechanism 60, and a speed sensor 70.

[0031] The housing 10 has a mounting cavity 101 with an opening at the top. In this embodiment, a first connecting part 11 extends outward from one side of the housing 10. The bottom of the mounting cavity 101 has an inclined guide surface 12. The bottom of the guide surface 12 has a water outlet 102 that communicates with the outside. The water spun out by the spin dryer 50 is collected at the water outlet 102 through the guide surface 12 and discharged outward through the water outlet 102.

[0032] The controller 20 is mounted on the housing 10.

[0033] The top cover 30 is closable and mounted on the housing 10, covering the upper opening of the mounting cavity 101. In this embodiment, a second connecting part 31 extends outward from one side of the top cover 30 to mate with the first connecting part 11. The second connecting part 31 and the first connecting part 11 are connected by a hinge rod 32, thereby achieving a hinged connection between the top cover 30 and the housing 10. A transmission rod 33 is provided at the outer end of the second connecting part 31. A handle 34 is provided on the other side of the top cover 30, which facilitates opening the top cover 30 when the entire device is not powered on or the pneumatic equipment is not connected.

[0034] The first drive mechanism 40 is mounted on the housing 10 and controls the opening and closing of the upper cover 30. The first drive mechanism 40 is connected to the controller 20. In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 40 is a cylinder. The output end of the first drive mechanism 40 is hinged to the transmission rod 33 and drives the upper cover 30 to open and close.

[0035] The spin-drying drum 50 is rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity 101. The spin-drying drum 50 has a receiving cavity 501 with an open top, and its side wall has perforated holes (not shown) for water to be spun out. In this embodiment, the spin-drying drum 50 is rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity 101 via a mounting bracket 51. A marking block 52 is provided on the outer side wall of the spin-drying drum 50. The marking block 52 is made of lightweight material to avoid affecting the stability of the spin-drying process.

[0036] The second drive mechanism 60 is disposed in the mounting cavity 101 and drives the spin-drying drum 50 to rotate back and forth. The second drive mechanism 60 is connected to the controller 20. In this embodiment, the second drive mechanism 60 is a servo motor. The second drive mechanism 60 is disposed on the mounting frame 51 and drives the spin-drying drum 50 to rotate back and forth. Furthermore, the second drive mechanism 60 is disposed on the mounting frame 51 by a mounting plate 61, and the second drive mechanism 60 needs to be waterproofed externally during installation to prevent the water spun out of the spin-drying drum 50 from affecting the normal operation of the second drive mechanism 60.

[0037] The speed sensor 70 is mounted on the housing 10 and corresponds to the position of the spin-drying drum 60. The speed sensor 70 is connected to the controller 20 and is used to monitor the rotational speed of the spin-drying drum 50 in real time. Only when the rotational speed of the spin-drying drum 50 drops to 0 will the controller 20 control the first drive mechanism 40 to open the top cover 30. The speed sensor 70 is located on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 101 and is at the same height as the marking block 52.

[0038] The key design feature of this invention is as follows: a first drive mechanism is mounted on the housing and controls the opening and closing of the top cover. The first drive mechanism is connected to the controller. A speed sensor is mounted on the housing and corresponds to the position of the spin-drying drum. The speed sensor is also connected to the controller. After spin-drying, the speed sensor monitors the rotation speed of the spin-drying drum in real time and transmits the data to the controller. When the speed has not dropped to 0, the controller locks the first drive mechanism to prevent the top cover from opening. This ensures that the spin-drying drum is completely stationary when the operator removes the yarn, preventing the operator from being injured by rotating the yarn. The overall spin-drying process is safer.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
