[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, and enhancing aesthetics.

[0003] After processing electroplating strips, they need to be wound up and straightened using a pressure cylinder. To avoid damage to the electroplating strips, the pressure cylinder is usually made of rubber. Since the temperature of the electroplating strips is high after processing, in order to prevent the electroplating strips from melting the pressure cylinders and causing the rubber to stick to the electroplating strips, there is a lack of a cooling device for the electroplating strips after the electroplating process in the existing technology. Therefore, a device capable of cooling the electroplating strips is needed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] 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.

[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a cooling device for the discharge end of a continuous electroplating production line includes a machine body 10. The machine body 10 is provided with, from first to last, a straightening station 1, a cooling station 2, a drying station 3, and a pressing station 4. The cooling station 2 includes a housing 21 and a fan. The housing 21 has a liquid cooling chamber 201 and an air cooling chamber 202. The liquid cooling chamber 201 is located near the straightening station 1. The bottom of the liquid cooling chamber 201 is provided with several spray nozzles 23 and a drain trough 24. The drain trough 24 can... The liquid cooling chamber 201 is designed to drain any residual liquid. The spray nozzle 23 is connected to an external water source and is equipped with a spraying device. The spraying device is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The bottom of the air cooling chamber 202 is provided with several through slots 28 and air vents 27. Each air vent 27 is connected to an air pipe. The other end of the air pipe is connected to the air outlet of the fan. The fan and air pipe are existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The through slots 28 are used to enable the air cooling chamber 202 to achieve external circulation.

[0022] The processed electroplated strip is first straightened at the straightening station 1. After straightening, the electroplated strip enters the liquid cooling chamber 201. The liquid spray nozzle 23 at the bottom of the liquid cooling chamber 201 sprays liquid to cool the electroplated strip, thus achieving the first step of liquid cooling. When the electroplated strip enters the air cooling chamber 202, the fan blows air into the air cooling chamber 202 through the air pipe and air outlet 27, thus achieving air cooling. The blowing can also blow off the residual liquid on the electroplated strip or accelerate the evaporation of the liquid. The residual liquid can also fall through the channel 28.

[0023] Two cover plates 22 are hinged to the housing 21. The cover plates 22 are used to open and close the liquid cooling chamber 201 and the air cooling chamber 202 respectively. Closing the liquid cooling chamber 201 by the cover plates 22 can prevent the liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle 23 from spraying out of the chamber. Closing the air cooling chamber 202 by the cover plates 22 can improve the efficiency of air cooling. The blown air is reflected by the cover plates 22 to cool the electroplated strip again.

[0024] The liquid cooling cavity 201 has an inlet end and an outlet end. The inner wall of the inlet end of the liquid cooling cavity 201 is provided with two arc-shaped symmetrical fixing plates 25. Each fixing plate 25 is provided with several mounting grooves 251. The mounting grooves 251 are used to install a material support frame. The material support frame is used to support the electroplating strip. The inner wall of the outlet end of the liquid cooling cavity 201 is equipped with a first rotating cylinder 26 that contacts and cooperates with the electroplating strip. The first rotating cylinder 26 contacts the electroplating strip so that the electroplating strip always remains straight.

[0025] The straightening station 1 is provided with two symmetrical upright plates 12 and a first base 11. Each upright plate 12 is provided with a first feed port 121. The first base 11 is equipped with two symmetrical second rotating cylinders 13. Each second rotating cylinder 13 is located at the corresponding first feed port 121 and is located at the middle of the corresponding first feed port 121. The two second rotating cylinders 13 are used to achieve the function of leveling and straightening the electroplated strip.

[0026] The drying station 3 includes a second base 31, on which several supports 32 are mounted. Several air blowing assemblies 33 are mounted on the supports 32. Each air blowing assembly 33 includes a fixed shell, inside which several fan blades and a corresponding motor are installed. The fan blades are respectively installed at the output end of the corresponding motor. By rotating the fan blades of the drying station 3, air is blown to further cool the electroplated strip and further dry the residual liquid on the electroplated strip.

[0027] A partition 35 is provided between the drying station 3 and the straightening station 4. The partition 35 is provided with a second feed port 351 and a mounting plate 352. The second feed port is not shown in the figure. A third rotating cylinder 34 is rotatably fitted on the second base 31. The upper end of the third rotating cylinder 34 is rotatably fitted on the mounting plate 352. The outer circumferential surface of the third rotating cylinder 34 is located in the middle of the second feed port 351. The third rotating cylinder 34 realizes the function of leveling and straightening the electroplated strip.

[0028] Because the electroplating strip is relatively long, the cooperation of the first rotating drum 26, the second rotating drum 13, and the third rotating drum 34 ensures that the electroplating strip remains straight at all times.

[0029] The straightening station 4 includes a third base 41 and a motor 44. A first rotating shaft 42 and a second rotating shaft 43 are rotatably mounted on the third base 41. A coaxial first pressing cylinder 421 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 42, and a coaxial second pressing cylinder 431 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 43. The first rotating shaft 42 is driven to the output end of the motor 44. A first gear 45 is provided on the outer periphery of the first rotating shaft 42, and a second gear 46 that meshes with the first gear 45 is provided on the second rotating shaft 43. The first pressing cylinder 421 and the second pressing cylinder 431 are made of rubber.
