This process takes a lot of time and is cumbersome and physically demanding. Utility Model Content

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-7As shown, a rapid material changing mechanism for a surface modification production device includes an electroplating frame 1 and multiple horizontal bars 12 arranged at equal intervals thereon. Inclined hanging rod assemblies 13 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the horizontal bars 12 on opposite sides. The device also includes a bracket 2 and a tray 22 fixedly installed on the bracket 2. The tray 22 has a receiving groove 23 corresponding to the hanging rod assemblies 13. Clamping flaps 5 are symmetrically hinged to one side of the receiving groove 23 within the bracket 2. The first end of each clamping flap 5 is movably assembled with a conical groove 31 on a pusher 3, and the second end of each clamping flap 5 is movably assembled with a pipe fitting 6 disposed within the receiving groove 23. By placing multiple pipe fittings 6 within the receiving groove 23 and clamping and fixing the pipe fittings 6 within the receiving groove 23 with the two clamping flaps 5, it is easy to hold the bracket 2 to quickly load multiple pipe fittings 6. Then, by moving the pusher 3, the first ends of the multiple clamping flaps 5 simultaneously slide into the conical groove 31 and move closer together. The second ends of the clamping segments 5 are moved away from each other to release the clamping of the pipe 6 so as to facilitate material release. Similarly, multiple pipe 6 are inserted between the clamping segments 5 and the clamping segments 5 are clamped again to facilitate quick material change.

[0029] As a further technical solution provided by this utility model, the electroplating rack 1 is symmetrically and fixedly installed with guide rods 11 on both sides of the crossbar 12, and the insertion tubes 21 symmetrically and fixedly installed on the bracket 2 are movable on the guide rods 11.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, by inserting the two tubes 21 on the bracket 2 into the guide rods 11 on the corresponding side of the crossbar 12, the tube 6 in the storage slot 23 is guided to be accurately inserted into the hanging rod assembly 13.

[0031] Furthermore, grippers 26 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bracket 2, and levers 27 are hinged to the grippers 26 respectively. The first ends of the two levers 27 are respectively movably installed in the through slots 32 symmetrically opened on the pusher 3.

[0032] Specifically, the user grips the handle 26 to insert the pipe fitting 6 into the hanging rod assembly 13 protruding from the electroplating rack 1. The user hooks the lever 27 with their fingers (excluding the thumb) and, by gripping the lever 27 and the handle 26, flips the lever 27 towards the handle 26. This flip causes the tip of the lever 27 to push the pusher 3 towards the pipe fitting 6. Figure 7 As shown, the pusher 3 is moved to simultaneously drive and unlock multiple clamping segments 5, so that the tube 6 can fall out of the receiving slot 23.

[0033] Furthermore, a torsion spring 51 is fitted onto the hinge shaft of the clamping petal 5.

[0034] Specifically, the two ends of the torsion spring 51 are fixedly installed on the clamping flap 5 and the bracket 2 respectively. The torsion spring 51 is used to make the second end of the clamping flap 5 move closer to the pipe 6 in the default state to clamp the pipe 6.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding rack 4 and a feeding trough 41 set on the feeding rack 4, with the bracket 2 and the support plate 22 respectively movably set on the side plate 42 fixedly installed on the feeding rack 4.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the bracket 2 and the tray 22 are attached to the outer wall of the opposite side of the storage groove 23 to the side plate 42. Then, the bracket 2 is manually pushed so that the pipes 6 piled in the discharge groove 41 can fall into the storage groove 23 for unloading and sorting, so as to facilitate subsequent material replacement.

[0037] Furthermore, a material distribution plate 44 is rotatably installed inside the material feeding trough 41, and a pulley 45 is fixedly installed at the output end of the main motor 43 and one end of the material distribution plate 44 inside the material feeding frame 4.

[0038] Specifically, the main motor 43 drives the material distribution plate 44 to rotate through the belt drive between the main motor 43 and the pulley 45 on the material distribution plate 44, and distributes the pipe fittings 6 in the material trough 41 in sequence. Compared with manual material distribution, the production efficiency is improved by manually moving the bracket 2 in conjunction with the material distribution plate 44.

[0039] Furthermore, inclined platforms 25 are respectively provided on both sides of the storage slot 23 on the tray 22.

[0040] Specifically, the side of the pallet 22 is provided with a slope 24, which allows the pipe fitting 6 to slide along the slope 24 into the receiving groove 23. The inclined platforms 25 on both sides of the receiving groove 23 allow the pipe fitting 6 in the unloading groove 41 to fall more accurately into the receiving groove 23 for storage. After the pipe fitting 6 is placed into the multiple receiving grooves 23, the inclined bracket 2 is used to pinch the lever 27 again so that the multiple pipe fittings 6 can fall into the two clamping flaps 5 respectively. After releasing the lever 27, the clamping flaps 5 are used to clamp and fix the pipe fitting 6, which facilitates the simultaneous feeding of multiple pipe fittings 6 quickly. Compared with manual feeding in sequence, this can improve production efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the sandwich panel 5 is made of rigid plastic.

[0042] Specifically, the clamp 5 is made of a rigid plastic plate, which can reduce scratches on the outer wall of the pipe fitting 6.

[0043] Furthermore, the tray 22 is made of rigid plastic.

[0044] Specifically, the pallet 22 is made of rigid plastic, which can reduce weight and save manual labor.

[0045] Furthermore, pusher 3 is made of stainless steel plate.

[0046] Working principle: The inclined platforms 25 on both sides of the receiving slot 23 facilitate the more accurate placement of the pipe fittings 6 from the unloading slot 41 into the receiving slot 23. After placing the pipe fittings 6 into multiple receiving slots 23, the inclined bracket 2 and the lever 27 are used to allow the pipe fittings 6 to fall between two clamping segments 5. After releasing the lever 27, the clamping segments 5 clamp and fix the pipe fittings 6. Then, by holding the bracket 2, the pipe fittings 6 are quickly inserted into the hanging rod assembly 13 for loading. Then, by moving the pusher 3, the first ends of the clamping segments 5 slide into the conical groove 31 and move closer together. The second ends of the clamping segments 5 move away from each other to release the clamping of the pipe fittings 6 for unloading. Similarly, by inserting the pipe fittings 6 into the clamping segments 5 and clamping them again, the pipe fittings 6 can be quickly changed.

[0047] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
