Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to an outer casing structure for a single-cylinder centrifugal electroplating machine. Background Technology
[0002] Electroplating is a surface treatment technology that deposits a layer of metal or alloy onto the surface of a metal or non-metal substrate through electrolysis. Its core purpose is to improve the appearance, performance, or function of materials, and it is widely used in industrial manufacturing, decoration, and protection. When adding a workpiece to be plated into the electroplating tank, the top cover of the electroplating tank is usually opened first, then the workpiece is added into the electroplating tank, and finally the top cover is closed.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, the opening and closing of the top cover, whether by direct swing opening and closing or direct lifting opening and closing, both require a large space and may even collide with and damage nearby components, making them unsuitable for opening and closing in a small space where components are compact. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to propose an outer cover structure for a single-cylinder centrifugal electroplating machine, which solves the problem that in the prior art, the opening and closing of the top cover, whether by direct swing opening and closing or direct lifting opening and closing, both require a large space and may even collide with and damage nearby parts, making them unsuitable for opening and closing in a small space where parts are compact.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A single-cylinder centrifugal electroplating machine outer cover structure includes a top cover, a connecting ring, a mounting frame, a movable seat, a swing rod, a limiting wheel, and a drive device;
[0007] The movable seat is movable up and down on the mounting frame. The driving device is used to drive the movable seat to move up and down. The connecting ring is installed on the outer periphery of the top cover. The middle part of the swing rod is swayably installed on the movable seat. One end of the swing rod is connected to the connecting ring. The limiting wheel is rotatably installed on the mounting frame. The limiting wheel can abut against the other end of the swing rod and is used to make the swing rod swing.
[0008] Furthermore, the movable seat includes a base plate, a height frame, and a limiting component;
[0009] The base plate is movable up and down and is mounted on the mounting frame. The height frame is mounted on the top surface of the base plate. The limiting member is mounted on the height frame and is located in front of the limiting wheel. The swing rod is swayably mounted on the height frame and can abut against the limiting member. The driving device is mounted on the mounting frame and the output end of the driving device is connected to the height frame.
[0010] Specifically, the height is provided with a clearance area, the swing rod is swingably installed in the clearance area, and the left and right sides of the swing rod are respectively attached to the left and right inner walls of the clearance area.
[0011] Preferably, the mounting bracket is provided with guide rods, and the left and right ends of the base plate are respectively mounted on the two guide rods, and the base plate can move up and down along the length direction of the guide rods.
[0012] In some embodiments, an adjustment frame is also included, the mounting frame having a plurality of adjustment holes, the plurality of adjustment holes being evenly spaced along the height direction of the mounting frame, both ends of the mounting frame being mounted to the mounting frame through the adjustment holes, and the limiting wheel being mounted to the adjustment frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the adjusting frame is provided with reinforcing ribs, which are directly opposite the limiting wheel.
[0014] Specifically, it also includes a first water outlet component, a second water outlet component, a first sensor, and a second sensor;
[0015] The first water outlet, the second water outlet, the first sensor, and the second sensor are respectively installed on the top cover. The first water outlet is used to provide hot water to the electroplating tank. The first sensor is used to detect and provide feedback on the water volume added by the first water outlet. The second water outlet is used to provide hot water to the top cover. The second sensor is used to detect and provide feedback on the water volume added by the second water outlet.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, one of the above technical solutions has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] By employing a top cover, connecting ring, mounting bracket, movable seat, swing rod, limit wheel, and drive device, the top cover opens by first sliding upwards and then swinging, allowing it to open and close within the compact space of the components. This prevents the top cover from directly swinging open and closing, which could cause rigid collisions with other components and result in damage or interference. Furthermore, the use of rotatable wheels as a limiting structure converts the collision force between the swing rod and the limit wheel into the rotational force of the limit wheel. This not only achieves the purpose of buffering and prevents rigid collisions between the swing rod and the limit wheel, thus improving their service life, but also enhances the smoothness of the swing rod's swing.

Furthermore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features, used to distinguish descriptive features, without any order or emphasis. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.
[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-3As shown, a single-cylinder centrifugal electroplating machine outer cover structure includes a top cover 1, a connecting ring 2, a mounting frame 3, a movable seat 4, a swing rod 5, a limiting wheel 6, and a driving device 7. The movable seat 4 is movable up and down and mounted on the mounting frame 3. The driving device 7 is used to drive the movable seat 4 to move up and down. The connecting ring 2 is mounted on the outer periphery of the top cover 1. The middle part of the swing rod 5 is swayably mounted on the movable seat 4. One end of the swing rod 5 is connected to the connecting ring 2. The limiting wheel 6 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 3. The limiting wheel 6 can abut against the other end of the swing rod 5 and is used to make the swing rod 5 swing. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 3 is specifically installed on the body of the single-cylinder centrifugal electroplating machine. The top cover 1 is used to cover the top of the electroplating cylinder. The top cover 1 is made of transparent PVC material. The drive device 7 is installed on the top surface of the mounting bracket 3. The drive device 7 is a cylinder. The middle part of the swing rod 5 is installed on the moving seat 4. The front end of the swing rod 5 is connected to the connecting ring 2. The rear end of the swing rod 5 is located directly below the limiting wheel 6. During operation, the output axis of the drive device 7 retracts upward, driving the moving seat 4 to move upward. The moving seat 4 drives the top cover 1 to move upward through the swing rod 5 and the connecting ring 2 until the top surface of the rear end of the swing rod 5 abuts against the bottom of the limiting wheel 6. Under the limiting action of the limiting wheel 6, the limiting wheel 6 rotates under force, and the front end of the swing rod 5 moves along its length. The mounting position of the part swings upward, thereby causing the swing rod 5 to drive the top cover 1 to swing upward through the connecting ring 2, so as to open the top cover 1 and facilitate the addition of the workpiece to be plated. This application uses the top cover 1, connecting ring 2, mounting bracket 3, moving seat 4, swing rod 5, limiting wheel 6 and driving device 7 to adopt the opening method of first moving horizontally upward and then swinging, so that the top cover 1 can open and close in the narrow space of the compact parts, preventing the top cover 1 from swinging directly and causing rigid collision with other parts and being damaged or causing interference. Furthermore, the use of a rotatable wheel as a limiting structure can convert the collision force between the swing rod 5 and the limiting wheel 6 into the rotational force of the limiting wheel 6, which can not only achieve the purpose of buffering and prevent the swing rod 5 and the limiting wheel 6 from being rigidly collided and damaged, but also improve the service life of both, and improve the swing smoothness of the swing rod 5.
[0025] like Figure 2-3As shown, the movable seat 4 includes a base plate 41, a height frame 42, and a limiting member 43; the base plate 41 is movable up and down and is mounted on the mounting frame 3; the height frame 42 is mounted on the top surface of the base plate 42; the limiting member 43 is mounted on the height frame 42 and is located in front of the limiting wheel 6; the swing rod 5 is swayably mounted on the height frame 42 and can abut against the limiting member 43; the driving device 7 is mounted on the mounting frame 3, and the output end of the driving device 7 is connected to the height frame 42. In this embodiment, the output end of the drive device 7 is mounted on the mounting frame 3. The output end of the drive device 7 passes through the mounting frame 3 and is connected to the top surface of the height frame 42. During operation, the output end of the drive device 7 drives the height frame 42 and the base plate 41 to move upward. At this time, the top surface of the swing rod 5 abuts against the limiting member 43, so that the swing rod 5 is in a horizontal state. When the height frame 42 drives the swing rod 5 to move upward until the top surface of the rear end of the swing rod 5 abuts against the limiting wheel 6, the limiting wheel 6 acts as a guide. When the swing rod 5 swings along its central mounting point, the front end of the swing rod 5 drives the top cover 1 to move upward, thereby opening the cover. When it is necessary to re-cover the top of the electroplating tank with the top cover 1, the driving device 7 drives the height frame 42 to move downward. At this time, the front end of the swing rod 5 gradually swings downward until the swing rod 5 is completely disengaged from the limiting wheel 6. At this time, the limiting member 43 abuts against the swing rod 5, making the swing rod 5 horizontal. Then, the top cover 1 moves horizontally downward to cover the top of the electroplating tank.
[0026] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the height frame 42 is provided with a clearance area 421, and the swing rod 5 is swayably installed in the clearance area 421, with its left and right sides respectively abutting the left and right inner walls of the clearance area 421. In this embodiment, the clearance area 421 provided in the height frame 42 allows the swing rod 5 to be swayably installed within the clearance area 421, thereby improving space utilization. Furthermore, the left and right sides of the swing rod 5 abutting the left and right inner walls of the clearance area 421 allow the inner walls of the clearance area 421 to act as limiting and guiding elements, preventing the swing rod 5 from swinging off-center.
[0027] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the mounting bracket 3 is provided with guide rods 31, and the left and right ends of the base plate 41 are respectively mounted on the two guide rods 31. The base plate 41 can move up and down along the length of the guide rods 31. In this embodiment, there are two guide rods 31, and the left and right ends of the base plate 41 are slidably mounted on the two guide rods 31, which helps to improve the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the base plate 41 and prevents movement deviation and movement jamming.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes an adjustment frame 8. The mounting frame 3 has multiple adjustment holes 32, which are evenly spaced along the height direction of the mounting frame 3. Both ends of the mounting frame 3 are mounted to the mounting frame 3 through the adjustment holes 32, and the limiting wheel 6 is mounted to the adjustment frame 8. In this embodiment, the left and right ends of the rear side of the mounting frame 3 are respectively provided with multiple adjustment holes 32, which are evenly spaced along the height direction of the mounting frame 3. The left and right ends of the adjustment frame 8 are mounted to the rear side of the mounting frame 3 through adjustment holes 31, thereby allowing the adjustment frame 8 to adjust its installation position along the height direction of the mounting frame 3, facilitating adjustment and debugging.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting frame 8 is provided with a reinforcing rib 81, which is directly opposite the limiting wheel 6. In this embodiment, the adjusting frame 8 is provided with the reinforcing rib 81, which is located directly above the limiting wheel 6. When the swing rod 5 collides upward with the limiting wheel 6, the reinforcing rib 81 will bear a large impact force. Therefore, providing the reinforcing rib 81 can improve the structural stability of the adjusting frame 8 and make it less prone to deformation.
[0030] like Figure 1-2 As shown, it also includes a first water outlet 91, a second water outlet 92, a first sensor 93, and a second sensor 94; the first water outlet 91, the second water outlet 92, the first sensor 93, and the second sensor 94 are respectively installed on the top cover 1. The first water outlet 91 is used to provide hot water to the electroplating tank. The first sensor 93 is used to detect and provide feedback on the water volume of the first water outlet 91. The second water outlet 92 is used to provide hot water to the top cover 1. The second sensor 94 is used to detect and provide feedback on the water volume of the second water outlet 92. In this embodiment, the first water outlet 91 and the second water outlet 92 are respectively equipped with water pipes, which are connected to a hot water tank. The first sensor 93 and the second sensor 94 are respectively connected to the corresponding water outlet structure of the hot water tank. Both the first sensor 93 and the second sensor 94 are liquid level fiber optic sensors. When hot water needs to be added to the electroplating tank for cleaning, the water pipe of the first water outlet 91 provides hot water to the inside of the electroplating tank. At the same time, the first sensor 93 detects the water level in the electroplating tank and provides feedback. When the set water level is reached, the water addition stops, which facilitates the cleaning of the inside of the electroplating tank. Furthermore, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the top cover 1 and the outer periphery of the electroplating tank, the water pipe of the second water outlet 92 provides hot water, and the second sensor 94 detects the water level and provides feedback, which facilitates timely stopping of water addition.
