This method has the drawback of low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0037] As shown in the figure, an electroplating processing device includes a support frame 1 and an electroplating tank 2 with a plurality of electroplating tanks 21, and further includes:

[0038] At least one hook frame mechanism 3;

[0039] At least one robotic arm 4 is used to grasp and release the hook frame mechanism 3;

[0040] Several conductive bases 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the electroplating tank 2 and are placed by the hook frame mechanism 3;

[0041] At least one drive mechanism 6 is mounted on the bracket 1 and is used to drive the robotic arm 4 to move along the arrangement direction of the electroplating tank 2. The hook frame mechanism 3 has a first state in which it is grasped by the robotic arm 4 and moved between the electroplating tanks 21, and a second state in which it is placed on the conductive seat 5 by the robotic arm 4 for electroplating. In this technical solution, the drive mechanism uses the robotic arm to grasp the hook frame mechanism, so that it can enter and exit multiple electroplating tanks through lifting and lowering movements. According to the requirements of the electroplating process, the conductive seat is placed on the upper edge of the corresponding electroplating tank. The first drive mechanism drives the robotic arm to place the hook frame mechanism on the conductive seat. Then, the robotic arm on the first drive mechanism releases the hook frame mechanism and returns. The robotic arm on the second drive mechanism grasps the hook frame mechanism on the conductive seat and transfers it to the next conductive seat before returning. The subsequent robotic arms repeat the same action in sequence, which has the advantages of high working efficiency and good working stability.

[0042] In the electroplating tank between two adjacent conductive seats, the robotic arm on the drive mechanism will lift and lower the hook frame mechanism according to the actual work requirements.

[0043] The hook frame mechanism 3 includes:

[0044] The crossbeam 31 is horizontally arranged and has conductive components at both ends corresponding to the conductive base 5;

[0045] Several hooks 32 are rotatably mounted on the crossbeam 31;

[0046] Several electroplating racks 33 are hung on the hooks 32. The electroplating racks can be driven by the hooks to rotate in both directions, and the hooks and electroplating racks are electrically connected.

[0047] The electroplating hanger 33, hook 32, conductive component and conductive base 5 form a conductive circuit. The crossbeam is made of hollow square tube, so that the hook and conductive component can be connected by wire.

[0048] The crossbeam 31 is provided with a plurality of first driving components 34 that are linked to the hooks 32. A plurality of copper busbars 51 are provided on the conductive seat 5 on one side of the electroplating tank 21. One end of the crossbeam 31 is provided with a plurality of electrical terminals 35 that correspond to the copper busbars 51 and are electrically connected to the first driving components 34. The first driving component adopts a servo motor and pulley structure, which can drive the hooks to rotate on the crossbeam, thereby improving the electroplating effect. The electrical terminals are purchased components and have their own elasticity. After the electrical terminals come into contact with the copper busbars, they can provide power to the servo motor and provide control signals.

[0049] The robotic arm 4 includes a lifting frame 41 whose end is fixedly connected to the drive mechanism 6. The lifting frame 41 is provided with a hook 42 corresponding to the crossbeam 31 and a second drive member 43 that cooperates with the hook 42 to clamp and fix the crossbeam 31. The hook on the lifting frame passes through the bottom of the crossbeam and hooks the crossbeam. Then the second drive member cooperates with the frame to clamp and fix the crossbeam to prevent the crossbeam from falling off the lifting frame. The second drive member is a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or linear motor.

[0050] The robotic arm 4 also includes a clamping member 44 corresponding to the electroplating hanger 33. The clamping member 44 is mounted on the lifting frame 41 and has two actions: clamping and releasing the electroplating hanger 33. The clamping member adopts a clamping cylinder, and its output end is provided with a clamping rod 45. The clamping rod can clamp the electroplating hanger to prevent the electroplating hanger from swinging during the transfer process, thereby affecting the working stability.

[0051] The conductive base 5 is provided with a positioning groove 52 and a first conductive copper plate 53 installed on the surface of the positioning groove 52. The conductive component adopts a second conductive copper plate 36 adapted to the positioning groove 52. The positioning groove 52, the first conductive copper plate 53 and the second conductive copper plate 36 are all V-shaped. The second conductive copper plate can be automatically positioned by inserting into the positioning groove using the V-shape, which has the advantage of accurate positioning. After the first conductive copper plate and the second conductive copper plate come into contact, the hook can be energized through the wire to provide power for electroplating. The upper end of the hook is provided with a fixed shaft that is rotatably engaged and fixedly connected to the wire. A bearing is provided between the fixed shaft and the hook, so that the two can be rotatably engaged. Since the wire is connected to the fixed shaft, the fixed shaft does not move when the hook rotates. The current passes through the first conductive copper plate, the second conductive copper plate, the wire, the fixed shaft and the hook in sequence to realize the circuit connection. The first conductive copper plate is connected to an external power source.

[0052] The drive mechanism 6 includes:

[0059] The first rack 65 is horizontally mounted on the bracket 1 and meshes with the first gear 64; the lateral drive component is a motor and a reducer, the reducer drives the first gear to rotate, and the first rack is fixed on the bracket, so when the first gear and the first rack mesh, the first mounting plate will be driven to move laterally.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first rack is shared, and multiple first gears share one first rack.

[0061] The vertical drive component includes:

[0062] A vertical drive unit 66 is mounted on the second mounting plate 62 and has a second gear 67 at its output end;

[0063] The second rack 68 is vertically mounted on the first mounting plate 61 and meshes with the second gear 67. The working principle of the vertical drive assembly is the same as that of the horizontal drive assembly, the difference being the direction of movement.
