Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating equipment technology, and in particular to a straightening fixture for auxiliary electroplating. Background Technology

[0002] Continuous electroplating is an automated, assembly-line electroplating process. Its core is to continuously pass strip or sheet-shaped workpieces through various electroplating tanks and post-processing steps under the drive of a conveyor system, realizing fully automated production from pretreatment, electroplating, post-processing, and drying.

[0003] Because the workpiece travels through multiple plating tanks during the electroplating process, and the journey is relatively long, in order to ensure the stability of continuous electroplating, a fixture is generally required during high-speed continuous electroplating to ensure that the workpiece is always in a preset position, to prevent deviation or shaking during the transfer process, and to avoid incomplete plating or uneven thickness caused by positional deviation.

[0004] Existing straightening fixtures are mostly specially designed and only suitable for a single workpiece shape or size. When changing production, the fixture needs to be replaced, which leads to long fixture replacement time in small-batch, multi-variety production, resulting in low production efficiency and high fixture inventory management costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides a straightening fixture for auxiliary electroplating, which solves the technical problem that the existing straightening fixtures are mostly specially designed and only suitable for a single workpiece shape or size. When changing production, the fixture needs to be replaced, which leads to long time for changing fixtures in small-batch, multi-variety production, resulting in low production efficiency and high fixture inventory management costs.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a straightening fixture for auxiliary electroplating, which includes a mounting frame and a guide component disposed on the mounting frame. The mounting frame is provided with two adjustment holes. The mounting frame is provided with a first adjustment seat and a second adjustment seat, which are arranged side by side above the adjustment holes of the mounting frame. The guide component is two in number and is respectively disposed on the first adjustment seat and the second adjustment seat.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting bracket is an integrally formed structure, which includes a mounting base and a support plate, wherein the support plate is arranged horizontally and vertically on one side of the mounting base, and the adjustment hole is arranged on the side of the support plate away from the mounting base.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with two fixing holes, which are arranged side by side on the mounting base.

[0011] Preferably, the first adjusting seat and the mounting bracket are installed by locking screws.

[0012] Preferably, the second adjusting seat is installed with the mounting bracket by fixing screws.

[0013] Preferably, the first adjusting seat is an integrally formed structure, which includes an installation section and an adjusting section.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the second adjusting seat 3 is installed with the mounting bracket 1 by a fixing screw 6. More specifically, the fixing screw 6 is inserted into the second adjusting seat 3 and passes through the adjusting hole 13 on the mounting bracket 1 to connect with the nut. During adjustment, the fixing screw 6 and the nut can be loosened to make the adjustment without disassembly.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the first adjusting seat 2 is an integrally formed structure, which includes an installation section 20 and an adjusting section 21, wherein the height of the installation section 20 is higher than that of the adjusting section 21, and there is a height difference between the two. A connecting hole 22 is provided in the center of the installation section 20 for fitting the connecting shaft 41 of the guide component 4. A screw hole 23 communicating with the connecting hole 22 is provided on the side of the installation section 20. A mounting screw 7 is fitted through the screw hole 23, and the mounting screw 7 is inserted into the screw hole 23 so that the end of the mounting screw 7 abuts against the connecting shaft 41, thereby fixing the guide component 4 on the first adjusting seat 2. The adjusting section 21 is provided with a U-shaped groove 24 for easy adjustment.

[0033] It should be noted that the first adjusting seat 2 and the second adjusting seat 3 have the same structure, and both are installed in the same way as the guide assembly 4.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the guide assembly 4 includes a locking nut 40, a connecting shaft 41, a ceramic bearing 42, and a guide wheel 43.

[0037] In summary, by fixing the mounting bracket near the inlet of the electroplating tank, when changing workpieces, only the distance between the first and second adjusting seats needs to be adjusted to adapt the gap between the two guide components to the new workpiece. Furthermore, adjusting the first and second adjusting seats makes it easier to observe the gap between the two guide components compared to directly adjusting the guide components, resulting in more accurate positioning. Compared with existing technologies, this design can adapt to the new workpiece by adjusting the gap of the guide components without changing the fixture, which not only reduces the time for changing fixtures and improves production efficiency, but also reduces the cost of fixture inventory management.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make modifications and variations to the above embodiments, but such modifications are all included within the broad scope of the foregoing disclosure, drawings and claims.
