Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of electroplating, specifically a non-uncoiling feeding mechanism for electroplating. Background Technology

[0002] Uncoil-free electroplating is commonly used in the electroplating of some strips or wires, such as continuous high-speed tin plating and zinc plating of steel strips. The steel strip moves at a high speed, which can complete the electroplating in a short time, realize large-scale continuous production, improve production efficiency, reduce floor space, and simplify the production process of automated lines. In this process, the strip is placed directly in a coil on the feeding mechanism, and then one end of the strip is pulled out, electroplated, and then rewound, realizing a continuous coil-to-coil electroplating production line and improving production efficiency.

[0003] When feeding the coiled strip, the feeding mechanism needs to fit the strip onto the fixed support in the feeding mechanism. However, the strip cannot be accurately fitted onto the fixed support during feeding, requiring multiple adjustments to the strip. Centering is difficult and affects the efficiency of electroplating. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this patent is to provide a non-uncoiling feeding mechanism for electroplating.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this patent to solve its technical problem is: an electroplating non-coil feeding mechanism, including a fixed plate and an electroplating coil, wherein a sliding column is inserted and installed on the side wall of the fixed plate, the electroplating coil can be sleeved on the outside of the sliding column, and an alignment mechanism is provided on the lower wall of the fixed plate.

[0006] The centering mechanism includes a sliding groove, an electrically controlled push rod, a sliding rod, and a sleeve. Sliding grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the lower wall of the fixed plate. The distances between the two sliding grooves and the center line of the fixed plate are equal. An electrically controlled push rod is installed in each of the two sliding grooves. The electrically controlled push rod is electrically connected to an external power source. A sliding rod is installed at the output end of the electrically controlled push rod. The sliding rod can slide within the sliding groove. A sleeve is sleeved at the end of the sliding rod located outside the sliding groove. The sleeve can support the electroplated coil.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the sliding column is provided with external threads, and a locking ring is installed on the outer side of the sliding column by rotating the threads. The electroplated coil is clamped between the locking ring and the fixed plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a support mechanism is installed on the lower wall of the sleeve. The support mechanism includes a diagonal rod, a top plate, a groove, and a ball bearing. One end of the diagonal rod is installed on the lower wall of the sleeve, and the other end of the diagonal rod is installed on the top plate. A groove is formed on the side wall of the top plate, and a ball bearing is installed in the groove. The ball bearing can fit against the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the side wall of the fixed disk is provided with a connecting groove, the sliding column is inserted and installed in the connecting groove, the side wall of the fixed disk is provided with a threaded hole, the threaded hole is connected to the connecting groove, one end of the screw is screwed into the threaded hole, and the other end of the screw is rotatably installed on the side wall of the sliding column.

[0010] Furthermore, a square groove is formed on the inner wall of the connecting groove, and a square limiting block is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding column, and the square limiting block can slide within the square groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a rotary handle is installed on the side wall of the locking ring.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this patent are:

[0013] This device, by setting a centering mechanism on its fixed plate, can quickly center the electroplating coil and the fixed plate after the electroplating coil is placed on the two sliding rods, reducing centering time and improving feeding efficiency. Then, by controlling the retraction of the electrically controlled push rod, it can drive the sliding rod and the electroplating coil to rise, thereby fixing the electroplating coil to the outside of the sliding column and securing it.

[0014] In addition, a support mechanism is provided below the sleeve in this device to support the sleeve and prevent the sliding rod from tilting, which would affect the stability of the electroplated coil when it rises. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present patent is further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this patent, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to this patent, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this patent. An electroplating-processing non-uncoiling feeding mechanism includes a fixed disk 1 and an electroplating roll 2. A sliding column 3 is inserted and installed on the side wall of the fixed disk 1. The electroplating roll 2 can be sleeved on the outside of the sliding column 3. A centering mechanism 4 is provided on the lower wall of the fixed disk 1.

[0021] After placing the electroplating coil 2 on the centering mechanism 4, the electroplating coil 2 can be quickly centered so that the center point of the electroplating coil 2 is in the same vertical line as the center point of the fixed plate 1. At this time, the electroplating coil 2 can be driven to rise by the electric push rod 42 in the centering mechanism 4. When the center of the electroplating coil 2 coincides with the center of the fixed plate 1, the sliding column 3 can be inserted into the middle of the electroplating coil 2 by rotating the screw 9, so as to fix the electroplating coil 2.

[0022] The centering mechanism 4 includes a sliding groove 41, an electrically controlled push rod 42, a sliding rod 43, and a sleeve 44. Sliding grooves 41 are provided on both the left and right sides of the lower wall of the fixed disk 1. The distance between the two sliding grooves 41 and the center line of the fixed disk 1 is equal. An electrically controlled push rod 42 is installed in each of the two sliding grooves 41. The electrically controlled push rod 42 is electrically connected to an external power source. A sliding rod 43 is installed at the output end of the electrically controlled push rod 42. The sliding rod 43 can slide in the sliding groove 41. A sleeve 44 is sleeved on the end of the sliding rod 43 located outside the sliding groove 41. The sleeve 44 can support the electroplated coil 2.

[0023] In this paper, the two electrically controlled push rods 42 are controlled by the same controller. That is, position sensors, such as encoders and magnetostrictive sensors, are installed on the push rods to collect the position information of the push rods in real time. The controller uses the displacement of one push rod as a reference to dynamically adjust the motor speed of the other push rod so that the displacement difference between the two tends to zero, thereby achieving synchronous movement. This ensures that the center of the electroplated coil 2 will not be deflected when the electrically controlled push rod 42 retracts.

[0024] Because its two sliding grooves 41 are arranged in an axisymmetric structure with the central axis of the fixed plate 1, the electroplating coil 2 can be aligned after it is placed on the sleeve 44 outside the two sliding rods 43.

[0025] The outer wall of the sliding column 3 is provided with external threads, and a locking ring 5 is installed on the outer side of the sliding column 3 by rotating the threads. The electroplated coil 2 is clamped between the locking ring 5 and the fixed plate 1.

[0026] A support mechanism 6 is installed on the lower wall of the sleeve 44. The support mechanism 6 includes a diagonal rod 61, a top plate 62, a groove 63 and a ball bearing 64. One end of the diagonal rod 61 is installed on the lower wall of the sleeve 44, and the other end of the diagonal rod 61 is installed on the top plate 62. A groove 63 is opened on the side wall of the top plate 62, and a ball bearing 64 is installed in the groove 63. The ball bearing 64 can fit against the inner wall of the sliding groove 41.

[0027] Because the electroplating coil 2 is relatively heavy, in order to prevent the sliding rod 43 from bending and affecting the stability of the electroplating coil 2, this device is equipped with a support mechanism 6 below its sleeve 44 to support the sleeve 44.

[0028] The ball bearings 64 reduce the friction between the top plate 62 and the sliding groove 41 when the plate slides.

[0029] The side wall of the fixed plate 1 is provided with a connecting groove 7, the sliding column 3 is inserted and installed in the connecting groove 7, the side wall of the fixed plate 1 is provided with a threaded hole 8, the threaded hole 8 is connected to the connecting groove 7, one end of the screw 9 is screwed into the threaded hole 8, and the other end of the screw 9 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the sliding column 3.

[0030] The position of the sliding column 3 can be adjusted by rotating the screw 9, so that when the electroplating coil 2 rises, the sliding column 3 can retract into the connecting groove 7, thereby avoiding interference with the rise of the electroplating coil 2. When the center of the electroplating coil 2 is aligned with the connecting groove 7, the screw 9 can be rotated to push the sliding column 3 out of the connecting groove 7 and insert it into the center of the electroplating coil 2 to fix the electroplating coil 2.

[0031] A square groove 10 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting groove 7, and a square limiting block 11 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding column 3. The square limiting block 11 can slide in the square groove 10.

[0032] The square limiting block 11 prevents the sliding column 3 from rotating, thus avoiding affecting the installation of the locking ring 5.

[0033] A rotary handle 12 is installed on the side wall of the locking ring 5.

[0034] When this patent is in operation, the worker first places the electroplating coil 2 on the sleeve 44 outside the two sliding rods 43 in the centering mechanism 4 using a crane or forklift. At this time, the center point of the electroplating coil 2 and the center point of the fixed plate 1 are in the same vertical line. Then, the electroplating coil 2 can be driven to rise by the electric control push rod 42 in the centering mechanism 4. When the center of the electroplating coil 2 coincides with the center of the fixed plate 1, the sliding column 3 can be inserted into the middle of the electroplating coil 2 by rotating the screw 9, so as to fix the electroplating coil 2.

[0035] Then, rotate the locking ring 5 to the outside of the sliding column 3 to further fix the electroplating coil 2, thus completing the feeding of the electroplating coil 2.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this patent is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this patent. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this patent is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this patent. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
