[0009] Preferably, the first rack and the first gear are meshing, and the first gear and the limiting block on the groove form a rotating structure, and the rotating rod and the protective cover are rotating.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the first rack drives the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotating rod drives the protective cover to rotate, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the collection tank and improving the recovery rate of electroplating slag.
[0011] Preferably, a fixed platform is installed at the bottom of the lifting mechanism, and a second connecting rod is installed on one side of the lifting mechanism. At the same time, a motor is installed at one end of the frame, and an output shaft is installed at the bottom of the motor.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-3 and Figure 6 As shown, existing electroplating tanks generate residue during the electroplating process. If not cleaned in time, this will affect the electroplating effect of the next time. To solve this technical problem, this embodiment discloses the following technical content: an electroplating tank for processing automotive components with self-cleaning electroplating slag, including a frame 1, a lifting mechanism 2 installed at the bottom of the frame 1, a tank body 4 installed at the lower end of the frame 1, a first connecting rod 5 installed at the bottom of the lifting mechanism 2, a first rack 10 installed on one side of the first connecting rod 5, and a first gear 10 meshing with one side of the first rack 10. Gear 11, and a rotating rod 9 is connected to the inner side of the first gear 11. The first gear 11 is installed above the groove 4 through the limiting blocks on both sides, and the first gear 11 is rotatably connected to the limiting blocks on both sides. A filter plate 21 is installed at the bottom of the first rack 10. A protective cover 7 is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating rod 9. A storage groove 8 is opened on the top of the groove 4. The first rack 10 and the first gear 11 form a meshing structure, and the first gear 11 and the limiting blocks on the groove 4 form a rotating structure. The rotating rod 9 and the protective cover 7 form a rotating structure.
[0032] When it is necessary to clean the scum after electroplating, the lifting mechanism 2 is activated, causing the first connecting rod 5 to move upward. At this time, the first connecting rod 5 drives the first rack 10 to move upward, and the first rack 10 drives the filter plate 21 to move upward, so that the filter plate 21 filters the scum in the electroplating solution above the filter plate 21. At the same time, the second gear 19 on the filter plate 21 meshes with the second rack 17, so that the second gear 19 rotates. The second gear 19 drives the lead screw 18 to rotate. The thread on the outside of the lead screw 18 cooperates with the thread on the inside of the push plate 20, so that the push plate 20 moves along the lead screw 18, thereby pushing the scum on the filter plate 21 to one side of the filter plate 21. At the same time, the first rack 10 drives the first gear 11 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 9 rotates. The rotating rod 9 then drives the protective cover 7 to rotate, thereby opening the protective cover 7. At this time, the scum on the filter plate 21 can be pushed into the collection tank 8.
[0033] Example 2: The technical content disclosed in this example is a further improvement based on Example 1. Existing technologies require increasing the flow rate of the electroplating solution during electroplating to improve efficiency and uniformity. To further address this technical problem, this example discloses the following technical content: Figure 4-5 As shown, a fixed platform 13 is installed at the bottom of the lifting mechanism 2, and a second connecting rod 12 is installed on one side of the lifting mechanism 2. At the same time, a motor 3 is installed at one end of the frame 1, and an output shaft 14 is installed at the bottom of the motor 3. A movable rod 15 is slidably connected to the bottom of the output shaft 14, and a stirring plate 16 is installed at the bottom of the movable rod 15. A second gear 19 is rotatably connected above the filter plate 21, and a lead screw 18 is installed on one side of the second gear 19. A movable block is threaded through the outer side of the lead screw 18, and a push plate 20 is installed on the outer side of the movable block. At the same time, a second rack 17 is installed inside the tank 4, and the second rack 17 is meshed with the second gear 19. A limit plate 6 is slidably connected to the upper end of the fixed platform 13, and one side of the limit plate 6 is installed inside the frame 1. The filter plate 21 and the second gear 19 form a rotating structure, and the second gear 19 and the second rack 17 are meshed. At the same time, the push plate 20 and the lead screw 18 form a sliding structure through the movable block, and the output shaft 14 and the movable rod 15 are in a sliding structure.
[0034] When electroplating requires stirring, the lifting mechanism 2 drives the second connecting rod 12 to descend, and at the same time, the second connecting rod 12 drives the movable rod 15 to descend, so that the movable rod 15 moves downward along the output shaft 14. At this time, the motor 3 drives the output shaft 14 to rotate, so that the output shaft 14 drives the movable rod 15 to rotate, and the movable rod 15 drives the bottom stirring plate 16 to rotate, thereby stirring the electroplating solution and making the electroplating more uniform.
[0035] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
