Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy battery manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a continuous electroplating equipment for a new energy cell sampling connection component. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating equipment is a specialized device that forms a metal or alloy coating on the surface of a workpiece through an electroplating process. Its working principle utilizes electrolysis; the workpiece is immersed in an electroplating solution as the cathode, and a power source causes metal ions in the solution to be reduced and deposited on the workpiece surface, thus forming a uniform and dense coating. Electroplating equipment is widely used in various industries. In the production of sampling connection components for new energy battery cells, electroplating can enhance the conductivity and corrosion resistance of the component surface, improve its service life and performance, and meet the high standards required for new energy battery systems.

[0003] The sampling connection assembly for new energy battery cells is a crucial component in new energy battery systems. It is primarily used for sampling and transmitting parameters such as voltage and temperature from the battery cells, ensuring the battery management system accurately obtains cell status information, thereby enabling effective management and monitoring of the battery. It typically consists of metal connectors, insulating materials, and circuit boards. Its quality and performance directly affect the safety and stability of the battery system, placing high demands on the reliability, conductivity, and corrosion resistance of the connections.

[0004] In existing technologies, some electroplating equipment for new energy battery cell sampling connection components adopts an intermittent working mode. The workpiece electroplating process requires manual loading and unloading one by one. After each electroplating is completed, the equipment must be paused for unloading and reloading. This results in the equipment being idle for a large amount of time, reducing production efficiency. To address this issue, a continuous electroplating equipment for new energy battery cell sampling connection components is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a continuous electroplating equipment for sampling connection components of new energy battery cells. Through the structural coordination of the motor, worm gear, worm wheel, transmission rod, rotating block, and suspension assembly in the continuous electroplating mechanism, automatic continuous electroplating of workpieces is achieved, solving the problem of low production efficiency caused by intermittent manual loading and unloading in existing equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A continuous electroplating equipment for a new energy battery cell sampling connection component includes a column, a sliding shell slidably connected to the inner wall of the column, a continuous electroplating mechanism at the top of the sliding shell, and a lifting mechanism inside the sliding shell.

[0008] The continuous electroplating mechanism includes a housing, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding shell.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

Whether it is to deal with diverse production tasks or to maintain and repair the equipment, this lifting function provides great convenience and significantly enhances the versatility and practicality of the equipment.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a continuous electroplating equipment for a new energy battery cell sampling connection component, including a column 1, a sliding shell 2 slidably connected to the inner wall of the column 1, a continuous electroplating mechanism at the top of the sliding shell 2, and a lifting mechanism inside the sliding shell 2. The column 1 serves as the main support structure of the equipment, providing a vertical sliding track for the sliding shell 2 and the continuous electroplating mechanism above it, ensuring that the lifting mechanism drives the sliding shell 2 to rise and fall smoothly. A base plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the column 1, and the base plate 13 is fixedly connected to the ground or electroplating tank by bolts, providing a stable installation foundation for the entire equipment, distributing the weight of the equipment and the force generated during operation evenly to the ground or electroplating tank, enhancing the stability of the equipment, and preventing the equipment from being affected by vibration and shaking during operation, thus affecting the electroplating accuracy and the service life of the equipment.

[0035] The continuous electroplating mechanism includes a housing 3, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of a sliding shell 2. A motor 4 is fixedly connected inside the housing 3, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 4. A worm gear 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. The housing 3 protects the internal transmission components such as the motor 4 and worm gear 5 from corrosion by liquids and corrosive gases in the electroplating environment. The motor 4 is the power source of the continuous electroplating mechanism; when energized, its drive end drives the rotating shaft and worm gear 5 to rotate at high speed, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. A transmission rod 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 3. The right side of the column 1... An opening 12 is provided on the side. The outer wall of the transmission rod 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the opening 12. A worm gear 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission rod 6. The outside of the worm gear 7 is meshed with the outside of the worm 5. A rotating block 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the transmission rod 6. The worm 5 and the worm gear 7 form a transmission pair. The worm 5 transmits the rotational power of the motor 4 to the worm gear 7. Utilizing the speed reduction and torque increase characteristics of the worm gear transmission, the speed is reduced while the torque is increased, enabling the transmission rod 6 to rotate stably and at a low speed, driving the rotating block 8 to rotate at a suitable speed. A suspension assembly is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating block 8. The hanging assembly includes an L-shaped plate 9, the top of which is fixedly connected to the outside of a rotating block 8. Two support rods 10 are fixedly connected to the right side of the L-shaped plate 9, and multiple hanging plates 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rods 10. The rotating block 8 is connected to a transmission rod 6 and serves as the rotation center of the suspension assembly. Driven by the transmission rod 6, the rotating block 8 performs circular motion, thereby causing the L-shaped plate 9, support rods 10, and hanging plates 11 to rotate synchronously. Through the rotation of the rotating block 8, the workpieces on the hanging plates 11 alternately circulate inside and outside the electroplating tank, ensuring the orderly progress of continuous electroplating. The unique L-shape of the L-shaped plate 9... The structure provides lateral installation space for the support rod 10, allowing the hanging plates 11 to be reasonably distributed in the horizontal direction. This ensures that the workpieces have sufficient space during the electroplating process and avoids mutual collisions that could affect the electroplating quality. The support rod 10 connects the L-shaped plate 9 and the hanging plate 11, providing stable support and ensuring that the hanging plate 11 remains horizontal during rotation. The hanging plate 11 is the component that directly supports the workpieces to be electroplated. Multiple hanging plates can suspend multiple workpieces at once. By rotating the rotating block 8, the workpieces on the hanging plate 11 are sequentially placed into the electroplating tank for electroplating, greatly improving electroplating efficiency and equipment utilization.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The lifting mechanism includes a second motor 14. A chamber 20 is formed inside the sliding shell 2. The front side of the second motor 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front side of the chamber 20. A rotating rod 15 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the second motor 14. The outer wall of the rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding shell 2. The chamber 20 is located inside the sliding shell 2, providing installation space for the second motor 14, rotating rod 15, and other lifting mechanism components, protecting and fixing them. A gear 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 15. The second motor 14 is the power core of the lifting mechanism. After being powered on, its drive end drives the rotating rod 15 and gear 16 to rotate, converting electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy to provide power for the lifting of the sliding shell 2. A fixing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left side of the column 1. A rack plate 18 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed plate 17. The outside of the rack plate 18 is meshed with the outside of the gear 16. The gear 16 is fixed to the outside of the rotating rod 15 and meshes with the rack plate 18, converting the rotational motion of the motor 14 into the vertical linear motion of the sliding shell 2. The fixed plate 17 is used to install the rack plate 18 and provide stable support for the rack plate 18. A guide opening 19 is provided on the left side of the sliding shell 2. The outer wall of the fixed plate 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide opening 19, and the outer wall of the rack plate 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide opening 19. The outer walls of the fixed plate 17 and the rack plate 18 slide within the guide opening 19, which serves as a guide to ensure that the sliding shell 2 moves smoothly in a straight line during the lifting process, prevents deviation, and ensures that the lifting position of the hanging plate 11 is accurate.

[0038] Work steps

[0039] Step 1: Motor 4 operates, driving the rotating shaft and worm 5 to rotate. Since the worm 5 meshes with the worm wheel 7, the rotation of the worm 5 drives the worm wheel 7 and the transmission rod 6 fixedly connected to it to rotate, thereby causing the rotating block 8 to rotate. An L-shaped plate 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 8. The bottom end of the support rod 10 on the right side of the L-shaped plate 9 is provided with multiple hanging plates 11. The hanging plates 11 are used to suspend the workpieces to be electroplated. When the rotating block 8 rotates, the L-shaped plate 9 will rotate accordingly, allowing the workpieces to be electroplated on the hanging plates 11 to enter the electroplating tank for electroplating. When the workpieces on one set of hanging plates 11 have been electroplated, the rotating block 8 continues to rotate, removing the electroplated workpieces from the electroplating tank. At the same time, the workpieces to be electroplated on another set of hanging plates 11 enter the electroplating tank to begin electroplating. At this time, the operator can remove the electroplated workpieces from the hanging plates 11 and hang the new workpieces to be electroplated. This cycle is repeated, realizing continuous electroplating of the battery cell sampling connection assembly, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0040] Step 2: When motor 14 is running, its drive end drives the rotating rod 15 and gear 16 to rotate. Since gear 16 meshes with rack plate 18, and rack plate 18 is fixed on fixed plate 17 on the inner wall of column 1, when gear 16 rotates, it will move up and down along rack plate 18, thereby driving sliding shell 2 connected to gear 16 to slide up and down along the inner wall of column 1. In this way, the height of continuous electroplating mechanism (comprising box 3, motor 4, etc.) can be adjusted, so that hanging plate 11 can accurately enter or leave the electroplating tank, ensuring the smooth progress of the electroplating process. It also makes it convenient for operators to make flexible adjustments according to different electroplating needs and electroplating tank depth.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
