[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology for metal material surfaces, and in particular to an electroplating device for metal material surface processing. Background Technology
[0002] The process of attaching a metal film to the surface of a material component serves to prevent metal oxidation, improve wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and enhance aesthetics.
[0003] Currently, electroplating generally involves immersing metal materials in an electrolytic cell using an electroplating solution. After electroplating, the metal materials are retrieved from the solution and left to stand. However, traditional retrieval methods are inconvenient for automatically retrieving and stably placing batches of metal materials to remove excess electroplating solution from their surface. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to clean and collect dust adhering to the surface of the metal materials during loading before electroplating, which affects the subsequent electroplating effect.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 An electroplating apparatus for surface processing of metal materials is shown, characterized in that it includes: a base plate 1, a plurality of support columns 2 fixedly installed on the upper left side of the base plate 1, a material carrier shell 3 connected to each of the support columns 2, a conveyor belt section 4 provided inside the material carrier shell 3, a fixed support 5 provided on the upper right side of the base plate 1, an open-topped electroplating tank 6 fixed above the fixed support 5, a material separator frame 7 provided inside the electroplating tank 6, a moving mechanism 100 that can drive the material separator frame 7 to move upward on the rear side of the electroplating tank 6, a rotating mechanism 200 that can drive the material separator frame 7 to rotate on the right side of the electroplating tank 6, and a stirring section 8 provided at the bottom of the electroplating tank 6.
[0020] The above-described electroplating apparatus for surface processing of metal materials, during production, involves the user placing the workpiece to be electroplated on the left side of the conveyor belt 4, which then transports the workpiece to the electroplating tank 6. Simultaneously, ventilation pipes 72 blow away dust and debris from the workpiece. The separating frame 7 is first moved upwards to the lower left side of the conveyor belt 4 via a moving mechanism 100, and the conveyor belt 4 then drops the workpiece into the separating frame 7. The separating frame 7 then descends into the electroplating tank 6 for electroplating. After processing, the separating frame 7 moves upwards until it leaves the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 6. At this point, a rotating mechanism 200 drives the separating frame 7 to rotate, causing the workpiece inside the separating frame 7 to be spun dry. The stirring unit 8 stirs the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 6, ensuring uniform electroplating. Compared with existing technologies, this apparatus can automatically retrieve metal materials in batches and remove excess electroplating solution from their surfaces.
[0021] like Figure 1 and 3As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, inclined surfaces 31 are provided at the middle of the front and rear sides of the material carrier shell 3 and at an angle towards the middle of the material carrier shell 3. Waste troughs 32 are provided below the material carrier shell 3 and connected to each inclined surface 31. An air-avoiding inclined surface 33 is provided on the right side of the material carrier shell 3. A mesh-like through hole 71 is provided in the material separator frame 7. Multiple ventilation pipes 72 are provided at intervals on the front side of the material carrier shell 3.
[0022] The material separator 7 has mesh-like through holes 71, and multiple ventilation pipes 72 are spaced apart on the front side of the material carrier shell 3.
[0023] Multiple ventilation pipes 72 installed on the front side of the material carrier shell 3 are connected to an external jet device, so that the ventilation pipes 72 blow away the dust and debris on the surface of the workpiece. At this time, the dust and debris are blown onto the inclined surface 31, and the dust and debris slide down the inclined surface into the waste trough 32.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the conveyor belt section 4 includes a conveyor belt bracket 41 fixed to the left side of the material carrier shell 3, an L-shaped bracket 42 provided on the right side of the material carrier shell 3, rotating rollers 43 rotatably mounted on the conveyor belt bracket 41 and the L-shaped bracket 42, and a conveyor belt 45 connected between each of the rotating rollers 43. A first motor 44 is fixed to the rear side of the conveyor belt bracket 41 and can be connected and fixed to one of the rotating rollers 43. The first motor 44 drives one of the rotating rollers 43 to rotate, so that one of the rotating rollers 43 cooperates with the other rotating roller to drive the conveyor belt 45 to rotate and transport. Each rotating roller 43 is mounted on the material carrier shell 3 through the conveyor belt bracket 41 and the L-shaped bracket 42 respectively. The L-shaped bracket 42 and the clearance slope 33 can provide sufficient upward space when the material separator frame 7 rises.

A threaded sleeve 106 with threaded engagement is fixed to the inner wall of the electroplating tank 6 below the material separator frame 7 with a retaining ring 107. The screw 102 is driven to rotate by the second motor 101, so that the screw 102 drives one of the guide blocks 105 to move upward along the guide groove 103 through the threaded sleeve 106. At this time, one of the guide blocks 105 drives the collar 104 to move upward. The collar 104 drives the remaining guide blocks 105 to move along the guide groove 103. When the collar 104 rises, it drives the opening of the material separator frame 7 to move upward.

The ring gear 204 meshes with the spur gear 203, and the third motor 202 drives the spur gear 203 to rotate. When the spur gear 203 rotates, it drives the ring gear 204 to rotate, so that the ring gear 204 drives the material separator 7 to rotate within the collar 104.
