Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic electroplating technology, and in particular to a folding electroplating rack for plastic electroplating. Background Technology

[0002] When electroplating plastics, an electroplating rack is needed to install and position the plastic workpieces so that multiple plastic workpieces can be placed into the electroplating tank at the same time. To facilitate the storage and handling of the electroplating rack, most existing electroplating racks adopt a folding structure.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN221141935U discloses a foldable electroplating rack for electroplating materials, including a fixed plate. Multiple matching movable plates are slidably mounted on the upper side of the fixed plate. A centrally symmetrical connecting seat is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the fixed plate, and two centrally symmetrical movable toothed rods are rotatably mounted on the upper surfaces of the connecting seats. Insertion cavities for insertion into the movable toothed rods are opened on both sides of the upper surface of the movable plate. Positioning toothed blocks for insertion into the movable toothed rods are slidably mounted in the insertion cavities. Springs are fixedly mounted between the positioning toothed blocks and the movable plates. Hooks are rotatably mounted in the fixed plate and the movable plates. The outer ends of the rotatable connections between the connecting seats and the movable toothed rods are set at right angles, and the height of the connecting seats matches the sum of the thicknesses of the movable plates. This utility model allows the electroplating rack to be folded, facilitating storage and transportation of the rack.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technology, the inventors believe it suffers from the following drawbacks: The device uses a movable plate with hooks to fix the plastic workpiece. During use, the operator must connect both ends of the movable plate to two movable gears. When the electroplating rack needs to be stored and moved, the operator must move the movable plate to its lowest point and fold the movable gears for transport. However, due to the limited height of the connecting base, only two movable plates can be stored. When multiple plastic workpieces need to be electroplated simultaneously, multiple movable plates must be connected to the movable gears, requiring the operator to carry extra movable plates, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a folding electroplating rack for plastic electroplating.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a folding electroplating rack for plastic electroplating processing, comprising a fixed plate, connecting seats symmetrically fixed on the upper surface of the fixed plate, two movable toothed rods respectively rotatably connected to the two connecting seats, and a movable plate jointly installed on the two movable toothed rods. Multiple hooks are rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the movable plate, a rotating groove is opened on the upper surface of the movable plate, and a docking assembly for docking the two movable toothed rods is provided on the movable plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when workers need to electroplate plastic workpieces, they need to unfold two movable toothed rods and connect multiple movable plates sequentially to the two movable toothed rods to stabilize the positioning teeth on the movable plates. Furthermore, workers only need to connect the plastic workpiece to the hook to stabilize it. Subsequently, when workers need to transport the electroplating rack, they need to separate the multiple movable plates sequentially from the movable toothed rods and fold the two movable toothed rods. Then, after rotating the fixed rod, workers need to connect one movable plate to the other, fixing the two movable plates together under the action of the docking assembly. Furthermore, workers only need to connect the bottom surface of the integrated movable plate to the fixed plate to form a single unit with the multiple movable plates and the fixed plate, thus folding and storing the electroplating rack and reducing the difficulty of moving it.

[0008] Furthermore, the docking assembly includes a rotating rod rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the rotating groove and a fixed rod fixed on the side wall of the rotating rod, and the bottom surface of the movable toothed rod is provided with a first fixed groove that matches the fixed rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a first sliding groove is formed on the inner wall of the first fixing groove, a first limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the first sliding groove, and a limiting piece that matches the first limiting groove is fixed on the side wall of the fixing rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator needs to connect the two movable plates, the operator only needs to rotate the rotating rod on one of the movable plates upwards to move one end of the fixed rod outside the movable groove. Subsequently, the operator needs to connect the fixed rod with the first fixed groove on the other movable plate and push the movable plate to move the fixed rod closer to the first sliding groove, thereby connecting the limiting piece with the first limiting groove, thus connecting the two movable plates together.

[0011] Furthermore, a first magnet block is provided on the side wall of the fixing rod, and a second magnet block is embedded in the inner bottom wall of the rotating groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the staff does not need to use the fixing rod, they only need to reset the fixing rod to connect the first magnet block and the second magnet block, thereby improving the stability of the fixing rod and thus improving the staff's user experience.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the fixing plate is provided with a second fixing groove, the inner wall of the second fixing groove is provided with a second sliding groove, and the inner wall of the second sliding groove is provided with a second limiting groove that matches the limiting piece.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when multiple movable plates are connected to each other, the staff only needs to connect the fixed rod on the uppermost movable plate to the second fixed groove and slide the fixed plate to connect the fixed rod to the second limiting groove, thereby connecting the movable plate and the fixed plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper surface of the limiting piece is provided with multiple fixing seats, and each of the multiple fixing seats is provided with rolling balls.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the ball bearings reduce the friction between the limiting plate and the first limiting groove, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the two moving plates and improving the user experience for the staff.

[0017] Furthermore, a first silicone sheet is fixed on the side wall of the limiting piece, and a second silicone sheet is provided on the inner wall of both the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, silicone, an inorganic polymer colloidal material formed by the condensation of silicic acid, contains a large number of silicon-oxygen bonds in its molecular chain. These silicon-oxygen bonds endow silicone with excellent stability and water resistance, but also cause it to exhibit a certain degree of viscosity under specific conditions. When the operator connects the two movable plates together, the first silicone sheet presses against the second silicone sheet, thereby causing the first and second silicone sheets to adhere to each other, thus improving the tightness of the connection between the two movable plates.

[0019] Furthermore, the upper surface of the fixing rod is provided with a rubber sheet to reduce the difficulty for workers to rotate the fixing rod.

[0020] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this application, when a worker needs to electroplate a plastic workpiece, the worker needs to unfold two movable toothed rods and connect multiple movable plates sequentially to the two movable toothed rods to stabilize the positioning teeth on the movable plates. Furthermore, the worker only needs to connect the plastic workpiece to the hook to stabilize the plastic workpiece. Subsequently, when the worker needs to transport the electroplating rack, the worker needs to separate the multiple movable plates sequentially from the movable toothed rods and fold the two movable toothed rods. Then, the worker needs to rotate the fixed rod to connect one movable plate to the other, thus fixing the two movable plates together under the action of the docking assembly. Furthermore, the worker only needs to connect the bottom surface of the integrated movable plate to the fixed plate to form a single unit with the multiple movable plates and the fixed plate, thereby folding and storing the electroplating rack, reducing the difficulty of moving the electroplating rack.

[0022] 2. In this application, when the operator needs to connect the two movable plates, the operator only needs to rotate the rotating rod on one of the movable plates upwards to move one end of the fixed rod outside the movable groove. Subsequently, the operator needs to connect the fixed rod with the first fixed groove on the other movable plate and push the movable plate to move the fixed rod closer to the first sliding groove, thereby connecting the limiting piece with the first limiting groove, thus connecting the two movable plates together.

[0023] 3. In this application, when multiple movable plates are connected to each other, the operator only needs to connect the fixed rod on the uppermost movable plate to the second fixed groove and slide the fixed plate to connect the fixed rod to the second limiting groove, thereby connecting the movable plate and the fixed plate.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a folding electroplating rack for plastic electroplating processing is disclosed, including a fixed plate 1, a connecting seat 11, a movable toothed rod 2, a movable plate 21, hooks 3, a docking assembly 4, a limiting piece 6, a first magnet block 61, a second magnet block 7, a fixed seat 81, a ball bearing 82, a first silicone sheet 83, and a second silicone sheet 84. Two connecting seats 11 are provided and symmetrically fixed to the upper surface of the fixed plate 1. Two movable toothed rods 2 are provided and rotatably connected to the two connecting seats 11 respectively. The movable plates 21 are jointly mounted on the two movable toothed rods 2, and multiple hooks 3 are provided and rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the movable plates 21.

[0031] The upper surface of the movable plate 21 has a rotating groove 31. The docking assembly 4 is mounted on the movable plate 21 for docking two movable toothed rods 2. The docking assembly 4 includes a rotating rod 41 and a fixed rod 42. The rotating rod 41 is a round rod structure and is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the rotating groove 31. The fixed rod 42 is a rectangular rod structure and is fixed to the side wall of the rotating rod 41. The bottom surface of the movable toothed rod 2 has a first fixing groove 43 that matches the fixed rod 42. The inner wall of the first fixing groove 43 has a first sliding groove 5, and the inner wall of the first sliding groove 5 has a first limiting groove 51. The limiting piece 6 is a rectangular piece structure and is fixed to the side wall of the fixed rod 42. The limiting piece 6 matches the first limiting groove 51.

[0032] When the operator needs to connect the two movable plates 21, the operator only needs to rotate the rotating rod 41 on one of the movable plates 21 upwards to move one end of the fixed rod 42 outside the movable groove. Then, the operator needs to connect the fixed rod 42 with the first fixed groove 43 on the other movable plate 21 and push the movable plate 21 to move the fixed rod 42 towards the first sliding groove 5, thereby connecting the limiting piece 6 with the first limiting groove 51, thus connecting the two movable plates 21 together.

[0033] The first magnet block 61 is a block structure and is disposed on the side wall of the fixing rod 42. The second magnet block 7 is a block structure and is embedded in the inner bottom wall of the rotating groove 31. When the operator does not need to use the fixing rod 42, the operator only needs to reset the fixing rod 42 to connect the first magnet block 61 and the second magnet block 7, thereby improving the stability of the fixing rod 42 and thus improving the operator's user experience.

[0034] The bottom surface of the fixed plate 1 is provided with a second fixing groove 71, the inner wall of the second fixing groove 71 is provided with a second sliding groove 72, and the inner wall of the second sliding groove 72 is provided with a second limiting groove 8 that matches the limiting piece 6. When multiple movable plates 21 are connected to each other, the operator only needs to connect the fixing rod 42 on the uppermost movable plate 21 to the second fixing groove 71 and slide the fixed plate 1 to connect the fixing rod 42 to the second limiting groove 8, thereby connecting the movable plate 21 to the fixed plate 1.

[0035] Multiple fixed seats 81 are arranged sequentially on the upper surface of the limiting plate 6. Multiple ball bearings 82 are spherical and are arranged sequentially within the multiple fixed seats 81. The ball bearings 82 reduce the friction between the limiting plate 6 and the first limiting groove 51, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the two movable plates 21 and improving the user experience for operators.

[0036] The first silicone sheet 83 is a sheet-like structure and is fixed to the side wall of the limiting piece 6. The second silicone sheet 84 is a sheet-like structure and is disposed on the inner wall of the first limiting groove 51 and the second limiting groove 8.

[0037] Silica gel is an inorganic polymer colloidal material formed by the condensation polymerization of silicic acid, and its molecular chain contains a large number of silicon-oxygen bonds. These silicon-oxygen bonds endow silica gel with excellent stability and water resistance, but also cause silica gel to exhibit a certain degree of stickiness under certain conditions. When the operator connects the two movable plates 21 together, the first silica gel sheet 83 presses against the second silica gel sheet 84, thereby causing the first silica gel sheet 83 and the second silica gel sheet 84 to adhere to each other, thus improving the tightness of the connection between the two movable plates 21.

[0038] To reduce the difficulty for workers to rotate the fixing rod 42, a rubber sheet 9 is provided on the upper surface of the fixing rod 42.

[0039] The working principle of the folding electroplating rack for plastic electroplating in this embodiment is as follows: When the worker needs to electroplat a plastic workpiece, the worker needs to unfold the two movable toothed rods 2 and connect multiple movable plates 21 to the two movable toothed rods 2 in sequence, so that the positioning teeth on the movable plates 21 remain stable. Further, the worker only needs to connect the plastic workpiece to the hook 3 to keep the plastic workpiece stable. Subsequently, when the worker needs to transport the electroplating rack, the worker needs to separate the multiple movable plates 21 from the movable toothed rods 2 in sequence and fold the two movable toothed rods 2. Then, the worker needs to rotate the fixed rod 42 to connect one of the movable plates 21 to the other, so that the two movable plates 21 are fixed together under the action of the docking assembly 4. Further, the worker only needs to connect the integrated movable plate 21 to the bottom surface of the fixed plate 1 to form multiple movable plates 21 and the fixed plate 1 into one unit, thereby folding and storing the electroplating rack, thus reducing the difficulty of the worker moving the electroplating rack.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
