Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electroplating equipment, and in particular to an energy-saving drying device for electroplating. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is a surface treatment technology that mainly involves using the principle of electrolysis to plate a thin layer of other metals or alloys onto certain metal or non-metal surfaces.

[0003] Specifically, electroplating is a surface treatment technology based on electrochemical principles. In the electroplating process, the plating metal or other insoluble material acts as the anode, and the workpiece to be plated acts as the cathode; both are immersed in an electroplating solution containing plating metal cations. When an electric current is applied, the metal ions in the electroplating solution move towards the cathode under the influence of the electric field, gain electrons on the cathode surface, and are reduced to metal atoms, which then deposit on the surface of the workpiece to form a plating layer. Simultaneously, the metal on the anode continuously dissolves, forming metal ions that enter the electroplating solution, thus maintaining the concentration of the plated metal ions.

[0004] Based on this, Chinese patent CN102453934B discloses an internal hole local electroplating equipment for local electroplating of precious metals in the inner hole of a workpiece. It includes a liquid storage tank, a filter, a pump, and an upper tank. An electrical control box is installed next to the upper tank and is electrically connected to a DC power supply. A spray plating module is installed inside the upper tank, including a water tank, a nozzle mounting template, a workpiece mounting template, an anode mesh, a nozzle, and a workpiece conductive clamping device. The workpiece mounting template has mounting holes that match the workpiece for inserting the workpiece. An inner hole shielding sleeve is provided at the bottom of the mounting hole to cover areas of the inner hole that do not require electroplating. An external sealing shielding sleeve is also provided at the mounting hole to cover the outside of the workpiece. This allows for the localized electroplating of precious metals in specific locations within the inner hole of the workpiece using solution pressure difference, effectively solving the problems of high precious metal consumption, high cost, and low inner hole plating quality in existing electroplating devices.

[0005] However, existing electroplating equipment still suffers from the technical problem of not being able to dry the electroplated parts. Specifically, in current electroplating practices, pre-plating preparation includes processes such as grinding, polishing, hanging, degreasing, and washing. The purpose of these processes is to prepare the workpiece surface, removing impurities such as grease, rust, and oxide films, providing a clean surface suitable for plating deposition. Post-plating treatments include washing, post-treatment such as dehydration and passivation, drying, hanging, and inspection and packaging. These processes aim to remove residues generated during electroplating, enhance plating performance, and prevent watermarks and oxidation. Therefore, drying the workpiece is often necessary during the electroplating process to ensure better plating quality. Utility Model Content

[0028] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The present invention relates to an energy-saving drying device for electroplating processing, comprising: a housing 1, several support shelves 2, several accommodating fixtures 3, an air supply duct 4, a temperature control module 5, and a blower mechanism 6; several support shelves 2 are evenly distributed within the housing 1, and several accommodating fixtures 3 are evenly arranged on each support shelf 2; the air supply duct 4 is disposed within the housing 1 and is connected to each accommodating fixture 3; the temperature control module 5 is disposed within the housing 1 and is connected to both the air supply duct 4 and the blower mechanism 6; the blower mechanism 6 is disposed at the lower part of the housing 1 and is connected to the outside of the housing 1.

[0029] Specifically, when the energy-saving drying device for electroplating is in operation, the workpieces to be dried during the electroplating process can be placed into each of the aforementioned accommodating fixtures 3, and then the housing 1 can be sealed. At this time, the blower mechanism 6 is energized and starts, drawing external air into the temperature control module 5; the temperature control module 5 is simultaneously activated to heat the incoming air, and then transmits the hot air to the air supply duct 4. The hot air enters from the air supply duct 4 and is delivered to each of the aforementioned accommodating fixtures 3, where the workpieces placed in the accommodating fixtures 3 can be dried under the action of the hot air. After the drying process is completed, the user can remove the workpieces from each of the aforementioned accommodating fixtures 3. The drying device proposed in this invention can be applied to the beginning, middle, and end stages of the electroplating process to accelerate the workpiece drying efficiency. Therefore, the energy-saving drying device for electroplating solves the technical problem of how to improve the workpiece drying efficiency during the electroplating process.

[0030] Furthermore, each of the accommodating fixtures 3 is provided with a accommodating tray 301 and a draining partition 302; the accommodating tray 301 is movably disposed on the corresponding supporting shelf 2, and each accommodating tray 301 is provided with a corresponding draining partition 302. Specifically, the workpiece to be dried can be placed in the accommodating tray 301 and placed on the draining partition 302. When the air supply duct 4 sends hot air into the accommodating fixture 3, the moisture on the surface of the workpiece can be quickly dried, and excess moisture can be blown into the accommodating tray 301 through the draining partition 302. This is because the draining partition 302 is provided with several through holes evenly distributed to facilitate the flow of moisture.

[0031] Furthermore, the air supply duct 4 has an outlet duct 401, a first branch duct 402, a plurality of second branch ducts 403, and a plurality of air outlets 404; the outlet duct 401 is connected to the temperature control module 5 and the first branch duct 402 respectively; the first branch duct 402 is disposed on one side inside the housing 1; the plurality of second branch ducts 403 are evenly distributed on the side of the first branch duct 402; each second branch duct 403 is correspondingly disposed above a support shelf 2; a plurality of air outlets 404 are evenly connected below each second branch duct 403; each air outlet 404 is correspondingly disposed above a receiving fixture 3.

[0032] Furthermore, the temperature control module 5 is a commonly used temperature control module in drying devices. It typically contains a temperature sensor, a control unit, a heating wire, and a power supply module. It achieves precise temperature regulation through a closed-loop feedback system. Combined with the coordinated work of the sensor, controller, heating wire, etc., it ensures that the drying process operates stably within the set temperature range.

[0033] Furthermore, the blower mechanism 6 is provided with an air outlet structure 601, a fan 602, and an air guide structure 603; the air outlet structure 601 is connected to the side of the temperature control module 5, the fan 602 is connected to the air outlet structure 601, the air guide structure 603 is connected to the fan 602, and the air guide structure 603 extends from outside the housing 1 and is disposed inside the housing 1.

[0034] Specifically, when the fan 602 is powered on and started, external air enters through the air guide structure 603 and is introduced into the temperature control module 5 through the air outlet structure 601. The air outlet structure 601 includes structures such as an air duct (not shown) and fan blades (not shown), which are connected to the side of the temperature control module 5 through the air duct. The fan 602 is connected to the side of the air outlet structure 601 through the air duct. Subsequently, the introduced air is heated by the temperature control module 5 and then enters the first branch pipe 402 through the outlet pipe 401. The first branch pipe 402 is vertically arranged along one side of the interior of the housing 1 to evenly deliver hot air to the second branch pipe 403 arranged on each of the support shelves 2. Then, hot air is blown out from each air outlet 404 arranged below the second branch pipe 403 and blown down from the top of the workpiece placed on the vertical partition 302. Excess moisture from the blown workpiece flows into the bottom of the receiving tray 301 through the drain partition 302. Thus, the workpiece can be dried by hot air.

[0035] In summary, the energy-saving drying device for electroplating of this invention comprises a housing 1, several support shelves 2, several accommodating fixtures 3, an air supply duct 4, a temperature control module 5, and a blower mechanism 6. Several support shelves 2 are evenly distributed within the housing 1, and several accommodating fixtures 3 are evenly arranged on each support shelf 2. The air supply duct 4 is located within the housing 1 and connects to each accommodating fixture 3. The temperature control module 5 is located within the housing 1 and connects to both the air supply duct 4 and the blower mechanism 6. The blower mechanism 6 is located at the lower part of the housing 1 and connects to the outside of the housing 1. This drying device can be applied to the initial, intermediate, and final stages of the electroplating process to accelerate the drying efficiency of the workpiece. Therefore, the energy-saving drying device for electroplating of this invention solves the technical problem of how to improve the drying efficiency of workpieces during the electroplating process.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
