Abstract
Description
A uniform electroplating device for automotive parts Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology for automotive parts, and in particular to a uniform electroplating device for automotive parts. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive parts processing comprises the various units that make up the whole of automotive parts processing and the products that serve automotive parts processing. After the automotive parts are processed, they need to be electroplated. Electroplating is the process of using the principle of electrolysis to plate a thin layer of other metals or alloys onto the surface of certain metals. It is a process of using electrolysis to attach a metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts.
[0003] In existing patent CN222349161U, a uniform electroplating device for automotive parts is disclosed. By setting up a clamping mechanism, during electroplating, a servo motor drives a bidirectional threaded rod to rotate within an adjusting box, causing two moving ring blocks to move a moving frame and a clamping plate. As the clamping plate moves, the clamping roller moves along the outer surface of the part, maintaining the clamping force and changing the position of the clamping roller on the part. This ensures the part surface is fully in contact with the electroplating liquid, effectively improving the convenience and speed of the electroplating process. The moving mechanism, through the extension and retraction of the two extension ends of the hydraulic telescopic rod, drives the clamping mechanism to move up and down, and a rotary motor drives the clamping mechanism to rotate. This allows the device to move the part up and down and rotate it within the electroplating tank, ensuring the outer surface of the part is fully and evenly in contact with the electroplating liquid, resulting in a more uniform electroplating process.
[0004] However, the existing methods described above can only fix regular parts, not irregular parts, making it inconvenient to electroplate irregular parts and limiting their applicability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a uniform electroplating device for automotive parts, which solves the problem that the existing technology can only fix regular parts and cannot fix irregular parts, making it inconvenient to electroplat irregular parts and limiting its applicability.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a uniform electroplating device for automotive parts, comprising an electroplating tank, a support, a telescopic rod, a drive seat, and a traction assembly. The support is fixedly connected to the electroplating tank and located above the electroplating tank. The telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the support and located on the support. The drive seat is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod, and the traction assembly is connected to the drive seat.
[0007] The traction assembly includes a rectangular frame, two limiting blocks, two traction rods, an adjustment module, two fixing plates, multiple elastic rods, and multiple abutment blocks. The rectangular frame is connected to the drive seat and located below the drive seat. The rectangular frame has a limiting groove. Both limiting blocks are slidably connected to the rectangular frame and are located within the limiting groove. The adjustment module is disposed within the rectangular frame and is connected to the two limiting blocks respectively. Both fixing plates are located below the rectangular frame. The two ends of each traction rod are fixedly connected to the corresponding limiting block and the fixing plate respectively. The multiple elastic rods are fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing plates respectively. Each abutment block is fixedly connected to the corresponding elastic rod respectively.
[0008] The adjustment module includes a drive rod, a first connecting rod, and two second connecting rods. The drive rod is rotatably disposed within the rectangular frame. The middle part of the first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the drive rod. The two ends of each second connecting rod are rotatably connected to the first connecting rod and the corresponding limiting block, respectively.
[0009] The elastic rod includes an inner rod, an outer cylinder, and a retaining spring. The outer cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixed plate. One end of the inner rod is slidably connected to the outer cylinder. The retaining block is fixedly connected to the other end of the inner rod. The two ends of the retaining spring are fixedly connected to the outer cylinder and the inner rod, respectively.
[0010] The elastic rod also includes a sealing gasket, which is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder and located on the inner side wall of the outer cylinder. The sealing gasket is also sleeved on the outer wall of the inner rod.
[0011] The traction assembly also includes two protective plates, both of which are fixedly connected to the rectangular frame and located on the outer wall of the rectangular frame.
[0012] This utility model discloses a uniform electroplating device for automotive parts. During the electroplating process, the parts are first positioned between two fixed plates. Then, an adjustment module drives the two fixed plates to clamp the parts. Because the parts have multiple irregular surfaces, multiple abutment blocks contact the outer side of the parts. Simultaneously, multiple elastic rods on the fixed plates are compressed by the abutment blocks. The abutment blocks compress the elastic rods, and the elastic force of the multiple elastic rods allows the abutment blocks to abut against multiple irregular surfaces of the parts, thus clamping and limiting the parts between the two fixed plates. Then, a telescopic rod is activated to move a rectangular frame into the electroplating tank. Additionally, a drive seat is activated to rotate the rectangular frame, causing the fixed parts to rotate within the electroplating tank, resulting in uniform electroplating of the parts. This method enables the fixing of parts of different shapes, facilitating the electroplating of irregular parts and greatly expanding its applicability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. This utility model provides a uniform electroplating device for automotive parts: including an electroplating tank 100, a bracket 101, a telescopic rod 102, a drive seat 103, and a traction assembly. The bracket 101 is fixedly connected to the electroplating tank 100 and is located above the electroplating tank 100. The telescopic rod 102 is fixedly connected to the bracket 101 and is located on the bracket 101. The drive seat 103 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 102. The traction assembly is connected to the drive seat 103.
[0022] The traction assembly includes a rectangular frame 117, two limiting blocks 104, two traction rods 105, an adjustment module, two fixing plates 107, multiple elastic rods, and multiple abutment blocks 108. The rectangular frame 117 is connected to the drive seat 103 and is located below the drive seat 103. The rectangular frame 117 has a limiting groove 106. The two limiting blocks 104 are slidably connected to the rectangular frame 117 and are located within the limiting groove 106. The adjustment module is disposed within the rectangular frame 117 and is connected to the two limiting blocks 104 respectively. The two fixing plates 107 are located below the rectangular frame 117. The two ends of each traction rod 105 are fixedly connected to the corresponding limiting block 104 and the fixing plate 107 respectively. The multiple elastic rods are fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing plates 107 respectively. Each abutment block 108 is fixedly connected to the corresponding elastic rod respectively.
[0023] In this embodiment, during the electroplating process of automotive parts, the parts are first positioned between two fixing plates 107. Then, the adjusting module drives the two fixing plates 107 to clamp the parts. Due to the multiple irregular surfaces of the parts, multiple abutment blocks 108 will contact the outer side of the parts. At the same time, multiple elastic rods on the fixing plates 107 will be squeezed by the multiple abutment blocks 108. The abutment blocks 108 drive the elastic rods to compress. The elastic force of the multiple elastic rods allows the multiple abutment blocks 108 to abut against multiple parts of the parts. The irregular surface of the component is clamped and limited between the two fixing plates 107. Then, the telescopic rod 102 is activated to drive the rectangular frame 117 into the electroplating tank 100. In addition, the first motor 118 in the drive base 103 is activated, and the first motor 118 drives the rectangular frame 117 to rotate, so that the fixed component rotates in the electroplating tank 100, and the component is uniformly electroplated in the electroplating tank 100. By using the above method, it is possible to fix components of different shapes, which facilitates the electroplating treatment of irregular components and greatly increases the scope of application.
[0024] Furthermore, the adjustment module includes a drive rod 109, a first connecting rod 110, and two second connecting rods 111. The drive rod 109 is rotatably disposed within the rectangular frame 117. The middle part of the first connecting rod 110 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 109. The two ends of each second connecting rod 111 are rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 110 and the corresponding limiting block 104, respectively.
[0025] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to control the two fixing plates 107 to clamp and limit the component, the second motor 119 inside the rectangular frame 117 is started. The second motor 119 controls the drive rod 109 to rotate, and the drive rod 109 drives the first connecting rod 110 to rotate. The two ends of the first connecting rod 110 pull the two second connecting rods 111, and the two limiting blocks 104 move in the limiting groove 106. The limiting blocks 104 drive the fixing plates 107 to move through the traction rod 105. The two fixing plates 107 move relative to each other until the component is clamped and limited, and then the second motor 119 is stopped.
[0026] Furthermore, the elastic rod includes an inner rod 112, an outer cylinder 113, and a retaining spring 114. The outer cylinder 113 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 107. One end of the inner rod 112 is slidably connected to the outer cylinder 113. The retaining block 108 is fixedly connected to the other end of the inner rod 112. The two ends of the retaining spring 114 are fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 113 and the inner rod 112, respectively.
[0027] In this embodiment, when the abutment block 108 is pressed, the abutment block 108 will drive the inner rod 112 into the outer cylinder 113 to squeeze the abutment spring 114, and use the elastic force of the abutment spring 114 to make the abutment block 108 abut against the outside of the component.
[0028] Furthermore, the elastic rod also includes a sealing gasket 115, which is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 113 and located on the inner side wall of the outer cylinder 113. The sealing gasket 115 is also sleeved on the outer wall of the inner rod 112.
[0029] In this embodiment, by providing the sealing gasket 115 inside the outer cylinder 113, liquid can be prevented from entering the outer cylinder 113.
[0030] Furthermore, the traction assembly also includes two protective plates 116, both of which are fixedly connected to the rectangular frame 117 and are located on the outer side wall of the rectangular frame 117.
[0031] In this embodiment, by providing the protective plate 116 on the outside of the rectangular frame 117, the protective plate 116 is used to protect the components inside the rectangular frame 117 and prevent them from being exposed and damaged.
[0032] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
