Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal surface treatment technology, and in particular to a gantry-type intelligent electroplating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of metal surface treatment, electroplating is an important means to improve the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetics of workpieces, and is widely used in industries such as machinery manufacturing, automotive parts, and electronic components. In traditional electroplating operations, the process largely relies on manual operation. Specifically, workers immerse the workpiece-laden fixture in the electroplating bath, manually control the plating time, and then manually remove the workpiece from the plating solution after the preset time is reached, before transferring it to a rinsing station for further processing. However, this manual operation mode has many drawbacks: the control of plating time depends entirely on manual judgment and operation, which can easily lead to over-plating or under-plating due to insufficient worker experience, lack of concentration, or operational delays. This severely affects key quality indicators such as the uniformity and adhesion of the plating layer, reducing the product qualification rate. After plating, if workers fail to transfer the workpiece to the rinsing station in a timely manner due to temporary absence or negligence, the residual plating solution will continue to corrode the workpiece surface, forming defects such as spots and rust, further exacerbating product quality problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model relates to a gantry-type intelligent electroplating equipment, which solves the problems in traditional electroplating operations where the electroplating time is easily over- or under-plated due to improper control by human factors, and where residual electroplating solution may corrode the surface of the workpiece after electroplating if the workpiece is not transferred and rinsed in time, thus affecting product quality.

[0004] This utility model provides a gantry-type intelligent electroplating equipment, specifically including: a horizontal frame plate, a set of proximity switches is embedded in the right side of the top surface of the horizontal frame plate, and the sensing end of the proximity switches penetrates through the bottom surface of the horizontal frame plate; a set of electric cylinders is fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the horizontal frame plate; a horizontal reciprocating plate is provided on the lower side of the horizontal frame plate, and the push rod end of the electric cylinders penetrates through the horizontal frame plate and is fixedly connected to the horizontal reciprocating plate; a movable base is fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the horizontal frame plate through a longitudinal column, and three sets of guide rail pulleys are rotatably installed on the bottom surface of each of the two movable bases, and the guide rail pulleys slide in cooperation with the guide rail base; a reinforcing plate is fixedly installed between the longitudinal column and the movable base.

[0005] Furthermore, a sensing insert that can cooperate with the proximity switch is embedded in the right side of the top surface of the transverse reciprocating plate relative to the proximity switch; before the electric cylinder is started, the proximity switch is in a dormant state, and when the electric cylinder is started, the proximity switch is released from the dormant state; when the push rod end of the electric cylinder is in the retracted state, the sensing insert is within the sensing range of the proximity switch; when the push rod end of the electric cylinder is in the extended state, the sensing insert is out of the sensing range of the proximity switch.

[0006] Furthermore, the top surface of the transverse frame plate is symmetrically provided with two limiting guide holes penetrating its bottom surface; a limiting guide post is fixedly installed at each of the two limiting guide holes on the top surface of the transverse reciprocating plate, and the two limiting guide posts are slidably inserted into the two limiting guide holes respectively; a hanging rod is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the transverse reciprocating plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a control housing is fixedly installed on the longitudinal column located on the left side. The control housing is connected to an external power source and contains a microcontroller. The microcontroller is electrically connected to a proximity switch and an electric cylinder. A touch panel is installed on the control housing and is electrically connected to the microcontroller. An audible and visual alarm and a position confirmation switch are installed on the top surface of the control housing. Both the audible and visual alarm and the position confirmation switch are electrically connected to the microcontroller.

[0008] Furthermore, the control housing also includes a timing module and a timer module, both electrically connected to the microcontroller. The timing value of the timing module is not limited and can be set according to requirements. The timer module has a timer value of one minute. When the timing value is reached, the timing module sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller, which then controls the push rod end of the extended electric cylinder to retract. When the proximity switch senses the sensing insert, it sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller, which then controls the timer module to start timing. When the timer module reaches its timer value, it sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller, which then controls the audible and visual alarm to activate. When the arrival confirmation switch is pressed, it sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller, which then controls the timer module in the activated state to shut down.

[0009] This utility model provides a gantry-type intelligent electroplating equipment, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] This utility model equipment achieves reciprocating movement along the electroplating tank through the sliding cooperation between the guide rail base and the guide rail pulley. It is combined with the electric cylinder to drive the horizontal reciprocating plate and the electroplating fixture to lift and lower. Combined with the timing module, it can accurately control the electroplating time and automatically drive the workpiece to be removed from the electroplating solution after the set time. This effectively avoids the problem of over-electroplating caused by manual operation and ensures the stability of electroplating quality.

[0011] This utility model equipment, through the linkage design of proximity switch, timing module and audible and visual alarm, can remind workers to return to work in a timely manner if they leave their posts after the workpiece has been electroplated and removed from the electroplating solution. This ensures that the workpiece is rinsed in time to avoid corrosion from residual plating solution, thereby reducing workpiece quality defects caused by human negligence in the process and further ensuring the product qualification rate.

[0012] In summary, this equipment comprehensively improves the efficiency, quality, and safety of electroplating operations through automated drive, precise timing, intelligent alarms, and user-friendly operation design, making it suitable for large-scale electroplating production scenarios.

[0024] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 :

[0025] This utility model proposes a gantry-type intelligent electroplating equipment, comprising: a horizontal frame plate 1, a set of proximity switches 1010 embedded in the right side of the top surface of the horizontal frame plate 1, the sensing end of the proximity switches 1010 penetrating through the bottom surface of the horizontal frame plate 1; a set of electric cylinders 1011 fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the horizontal frame plate 1; a horizontal reciprocating plate 2 provided on the lower side of the horizontal frame plate 1, the push rod end of the electric cylinders 1011 penetrating through the horizontal frame plate 1 and fixedly connected to the horizontal reciprocating plate 2; a movable base 103 fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the horizontal frame plate 1 via a longitudinal column 101, three sets of guide rail pulleys 104 rotatably installed on the bottom surface of each of the two movable bases 103, the guide rail pulleys 104 slidingly engaging with the guide rail base 105; a reinforcing plate 102 fixedly installed between the longitudinal column 101 and the movable base 103; the right side of the top surface of the horizontal reciprocating plate 2 relative to the proximity switches 1010... A sensing insert 203 is embedded in part 10 and can cooperate with its sensing. Before the electric cylinder 1011 is started, the proximity switch 1010 is in a dormant state. When the electric cylinder 1011 is started, the proximity switch 1010 is released from the dormant state. When the push rod end of the electric cylinder 1011 is in the retracted state, the sensing insert 203 is within the sensing range of the proximity switch 1010. When the push rod end of the electric cylinder 1011 is in the extended state, the sensing insert 203 is out of the sensing range of the proximity switch 1010. The top surface of the transverse frame plate 1 is symmetrically provided with two limiting guide holes 1012 that penetrate through its bottom surface. A limiting guide post 202 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the transverse reciprocating plate 2 at each of the two limiting guide holes 1012. The two limiting guide posts 202 are slidably inserted into the two limiting guide holes 1012 respectively. A hanging rod 201 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the transverse reciprocating plate 2.

[0026] A control housing 106 is fixedly installed on the longitudinal column 101 on the left side. The control housing 106 is externally powered and contains a microcontroller 1015, which is electrically connected to a proximity switch 1010 and an electric cylinder 1011. A touch panel 107 is installed on the control housing 106 and is electrically connected to the microcontroller 1015. An audible and visual alarm 108 and a position confirmation switch 109 are installed on the top surface of the control housing 106, both of which are electrically connected to the microcontroller 1015. The control housing 106 also contains a timing module 1013 and a timer module 1014, both of which are electrically connected to the microcontroller 1015. The timing value of the timing module 1013 is not limited and can be set according to requirements. The timing module 1014 has a timing value of one minute. When the timing value of the timing module 1013 is reached, the timing module 1013 sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 1015, which then controls the push rod end of the electric cylinder 1011 in the extended state to retract. When the proximity switch 1010 senses the sensing insert 203, it sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 1015, which then controls the timing module 1014 to start timing. When the timing value of the timing module 1014 is reached, it sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 1015, which then controls the audible and visual alarm 108 to start. When the position confirmation switch 109 is pressed, it sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 1015, which then controls the timing module 1014 in the started state to shut down.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0028] The guide rail base 105 is fixedly installed on both sides of the electroplating tank, and the equipment moves back and forth along the electroplating tank through the sliding engagement of the guide rail pulley 104 and the guide rail base 105.

[0029] In electroplating applications, the electroplating fixture with the workpiece to be electroplated is hooked onto the hanging rod 201, and then the equipment is moved along the guide rail base 105 so that the electroplating fixture moves to the upper part of the electroplating tank. At this time, the operator can control the push rod end of the electric cylinder 1011 to extend through the touch panel 107, thereby synchronously driving the transverse reciprocating plate 2 to move downward. At this time, the two limiting guide columns 202 move downward along the limiting guide hole 1012, and the electroplating fixture gradually sinks into the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank. When the electric cylinder 1011 is started, the proximity switch 1010 is released from the dormant state.

[0030] After the electroplating rack is immersed in the electroplating solution, the operator can set the timing value of the timing module 1013 through the touch panel 107 according to the electroplating time of the workpiece. This allows the workpiece to be quickly removed from the electroplating solution after the specified electroplating time is reached, avoiding over-plating. The specific operation is as follows:

[0031] When the set time value is reached, the timing module 1013 sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 1015. The microcontroller 1015 controls the push rod end of the electric cylinder 1011, which is in the extended state, to retract, thereby causing the workpiece to detach from the electroplating solution. When the push rod end of the electric cylinder 1011 is fully retracted, the sensing block 203 will be within the sensing range of the proximity switch 1010. When the proximity switch 1010 senses the sensing block 203, it sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 1015. The microcontroller 1015 then controls the timing module 1014 to start timing. The timing value of the timing module 1014 is one minute. If the worker has not left their post, the current worker can press the button within the timing value of the timing module 1014. When the position confirmation switch 109 is pressed, it sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 1015. The microcontroller 1015 then controls the audible and visual alarm 108, which is in the active state, to turn off to avoid false alarms. However, if the operator leaves their post, they will not be able to press the position confirmation switch 109 within the timing value of the timing module 1014. Therefore, when the timing value of the timing module 1014 is reached, it sends a feedback signal to the microcontroller 1015. The microcontroller 1015 then controls the audible and visual alarm 108 to activate, reminding the operator to return to their post in a timely manner so that the electroplated workpiece can be quickly rinsed to prevent residual plating solution from corroding the workpiece and affecting its quality.
