Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial robot manufacturing technology, specifically to a shell coating device for industrial robot manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] Coating is a surface engineering technique, also known as surface plating or coating, which refers to the process of depositing one or more layers of metal, alloy, or compound films on the surface of a material or workpiece using physical, chemical, or electrochemical methods to improve material properties or impart new functions. In industrial robot manufacturing, coating the outer shell is crucial. The coating effectively isolates corrosive media, preventing the metal shell from being corroded and extending the robot's lifespan. Simultaneously, coating increases the shell's hardness and wear resistance, reducing wear and maintaining the robot's motion and positioning accuracy. Furthermore, the coating can give the robot shell an aesthetically pleasing appearance and specific physical or chemical properties, such as electromagnetic shielding and high-temperature resistance, to meet the needs of different working environments.
[0003] However, during the plating process of existing robot shells, the electrolyte gradually becomes turbid as the plating process progresses. This is because a large number of impurities generated by the electroplating reaction appear in the solution. These impurities not only adhere to the surface of the plating layer, forming particles or pinholes, but also reduce the adhesion between the plating layer and the substrate, and decrease the conductivity of the electrolyte, affecting the subsequent plating effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a shell plating device for industrial robot manufacturing, which can filter impurities generated in the electrolyte due to the electroplating reaction, and avoid the accumulation of impurities that would affect the subsequent plating effect.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an industrial robot shell coating device includes a coating chamber 1, a shell placement component 2 is arranged horizontally above the coating chamber 1, a filter moving component 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the left end of the coating chamber 1, an electrolyte filter component 4 is installed on the filter moving component 3, a chemical agent adding component 5 is arranged on the outer surface of the right end of the coating chamber 1, and a solution composition detector 6 is embedded on the front and rear sides of the coating chamber 1.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the main improvement of this utility model lies in its ability to filter impurities generated in the electrolyte due to the electroplating reaction, preventing impurity accumulation that could affect the subsequent plating effect. Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model discloses a shell plating device for industrial robot manufacturing. In use, different types of chemicals are first added to three solution storage boxes 502 through the chemical agent addition port 505 to complete the preparation work. Then, the robot shell is placed into the placement cage 205. Subsequently, the storage motor 207 is controlled to operate, driving the rotating rod 206 and the storage wheel 203 to rotate, causing the rope 204 on the storage wheel 203 to be released, thereby immersing the placement cage 205 along with the robot shell into the electrolyte for plating. During the plating operation, the solution composition detector 6 monitors the electrolyte composition in real time, alerting the operator when an abnormality is detected. When the effective component in the electrolyte falls below the warning line, the addition pump 503 on the solution storage box 502 is controlled to extract an appropriate dose of chemical agent from the solution storage box 502 and deliver it into the plating chamber 1 through the delivery pipe 504, achieving precise chemical agent addition and ensuring the stability of the electrolyte composition. When the impurity content in the electrolyte exceeds the warning line, the filter body 401 is activated. At this time, the filter body 401 draws in the electrolyte from the plating chamber 1 through the inlet 403, adsorbing and filtering the impurities. The electrolyte, now free of impurities, then returns to the plating chamber 1 through the outlet 404, achieving electrolyte circulation filtration. When maintenance or filter replacement of the electrolyte filter assembly 4 is required, the operator can control the movable motor 301 to rotate the lead screw 302. As the lead screw 302 rotates, the movable base 303, along with the inverted U-shaped frame 304, filter placement rack 305, and electrolyte filter assembly 4, moves out of the electrolyte surface, facilitating operation.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer casing placement assembly 2 includes a fixed frame 201 spanning the top of the plating chamber 1. Limiting plates 202 are symmetrically arranged on the upper end of the fixed frame 201. A storage wheel 203 is arranged between the fixed frame 201 and the limiting plate 202. A rope 204 is wound around the storage wheel 203. The bottom surface of the rope 204 is connected to the placement cage 205. A rotating rod 206 for rotating the storage wheel 203 is arranged on the fixed frame 201. A storage motor 207 is arranged at the top of the rotating rod 206. The storage motor 207 is located on one side of the fixed frame 201.
[0023] Specifically, when the robot's shell needs to be plated, the operator first places the shell into the placement cage 205, then controls the retrieval motor 207 to operate. The retrieval motor 207 drives the rotating rod 206 and the retrieval wheel 203 to rotate, causing the rope 204 on the retrieval wheel 203 to be released, thereby immersing the placement cage 205 along with the robot shell into the electrolyte for the plating operation. This design reduces manual operation and improves production efficiency.
[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the filter moving assembly 3 includes a moving motor 301 that is attached to the outer surface of the left side of the plating chamber 1. A limiting base plate 101 that is attached to the top surface of the moving motor 301 is provided on the left side of the plating chamber 1. A lead screw 302 is connected to the drive shaft on the top surface of the moving motor 301. A limiting top plate 102 that is placed on the top of the lead screw 302 is provided on the left side of the plating chamber 1. A moving base 303 is connected to the lead screw 302 by threads. The right side surface of the moving base 303 is attached to the outer side of the plating chamber 1. An inverted U-shaped frame 304 is provided on the top right side of the moving base 303. The inner wall of the inverted U-shaped frame 304 is attached to the inner and outer sides of the plating chamber 1. A filter placement rack 305 is provided on the bottom surface of the inner end of the inverted U-shaped frame 304. An electrolyte filter assembly 4 is installed on the filter placement rack 305.
[0025] Specifically, driven by the mobile motor 301, the lead screw 302 can rotate and drive the mobile base 303 to move up and down. When it is necessary to maintain or replace the filter element of the electrolyte filter assembly 4, the rotation of the lead screw 302 is controlled so that the mobile base 303, along with the inverted U-shaped frame 304, the filter placement frame 305 and the electrolyte filter assembly 4, is moved out of the electrolyte surface, which facilitates daily filtration and maintenance operations.
[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the electrolyte filtration assembly 4 includes a filter body 401 that conforms to the shape of the filter placement rack 305. Limiting strips 402 are provided on the left and right sides at the front and rear ends of the filter body 401, respectively. Inlet 403 and outlet 404 are provided on the front and rear ends of the filter body 401, respectively. A sealed filter element replacement plate 405 is rotatably provided on the top surface of the filter body 401.
[0027] Specifically, when electrolyte filtration is required, the filter body 401 draws in the electrolyte from the plating chamber 1 through the inlet 403, adsorbs and filters the impurities, and then the electrolyte with impurities removed returns to the plating chamber 1 through the outlet 404, realizing the circulation filtration of the electrolyte. The conductivity of the filtered electrolyte is restored, the electroplating efficiency is improved, and the electroplating reaction can be carried out efficiently, reducing quality problems caused by reaction lag. At the same time, it can delay electrolyte aging, reduce replacement frequency, and directly reduce production costs. The setting of the limiting strip 402 allows the filter body 401 to fit tightly with the filter placement frame 305 after installation, without shaking, improving structural stability. The sealed filter element replacement plate 405 facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the filter element, ensuring the continuity of the filtration effect.
[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the chemical reagent addition component 5 includes a reagent box storage rack 501 located on the right side of the plating chamber 1. The reagent box storage rack 501 is provided with three liquid storage boxes 502. An addition pump 503 is provided on the inner side of the top surface of the liquid storage box 502. The addition pump 503 is connected to the plating chamber 1 through a delivery pipe 504. A chemical reagent addition port 505 is provided on the outer side of the top surface of the liquid storage box 502.
[0029] Specifically, three chemical solution storage boxes 502 are installed on the chemical solution storage rack 501. These chemical solution storage boxes 502 can be filled with different types of chemical solutions through their respective chemical solution filling ports 505 to ensure a complete range of chemical solutions. Under the action of the filling pump 503, these chemical solutions are sent into the plating chamber 1 through the delivery pipe 504. With the cooperation of the solution composition detector 6, the precise addition of chemical solutions is achieved, ensuring the stability of the electrolyte composition and thus guaranteeing the plating quality.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the rope 204 is fixedly connected to an anti-detachment hook 208, and the cage 205 is provided with a lifting lug 209 that works in conjunction with the anti-detachment hook 208.
[0031] Specifically, by setting up anti-detachment hooks 208 and lifting lugs 209 to connect ropes 204 and placement cages 205, the placement cages 205 can be quickly fixed and disassembled, making it convenient for staff to maintain and improving work efficiency.
