[0002] A lightning rod is a metallic conductor used to protect buildings, electrical equipment, and other structures from lightning strikes. During manufacturing, lightning rods are galvanized because the zinc layer significantly improves their corrosion resistance through electrochemical protection and physical barrier effects, extending their service life in complex outdoor environments and ensuring long-term reliable lightning protection.
[0003] However, existing lightning rod galvanizing devices have shortcomings in use. First, the existing galvanizing devices lack a flexible adjustment structure for the hanging fixtures, making it impossible to stably clamp lightning rods of different lengths and thicknesses, resulting in poor stability during the lifting and lowering galvanizing process. Second, the existing galvanizing devices lack an agitation structure for the galvanizing solution within the tank, causing the solute to easily settle and resulting in uneven solution concentration within the tank, affecting the galvanizing quality of the lightning rods. Therefore, a galvanizing device for lightning rod production is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a galvanizing device for lightning rod production, including a galvanizing tank 1, which is the main container for holding galvanizing liquid. A top frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the galvanizing tank 1, and the top frame 2 spans across the top of the galvanizing tank 1. Hydraulic cylinders 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the top of the top frame 2. A horizontal shell 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the two hydraulic cylinders 3. The hydraulic cylinders 3 serve as the lifting power source and drive the horizontal shell 4 to move up and down through the extension and retraction of the output end. Hooks 10 are installed on both sides of the bottom end of the horizontal shell 4. The hooks 10 are used to suspend the lightning rod workpiece. A clamping component is installed at the bottom of the hooks 10. The clamping component is used to firmly clamp lightning rods of different thicknesses and prevent them from shaking during the galvanizing process. An adjusting component is installed inside the horizontal shell 4. The adjusting component is used to change the distance between the two hooks 10 to accommodate lightning rods of different lengths. An agitating component is installed inside the galvanizing tank 1 to generate convection in the galvanizing liquid and prevent solute deposition.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 The pitch adjustment assembly includes a motor 5, a gear 6, two outer slide rails 7, two inner slide rails 8, and two racks 9. The motor 5 is fixedly installed at the middle of the top of the transverse shell 4. The output end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the gear 6 through the inner wall of the transverse shell 4. The motor 5 can drive the gear 6 to rotate. The inner slide rails 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the transverse shell 4. The outer slide rails 7 are slidably connected to the surface of the inner slide rails 8. The racks 9 are fixedly connected to one side of the outer slide rails 7. The outer slide rails 7 can slide along the inner slide rails 8, thereby driving the racks 9 to move smoothly. The racks 9 mesh with the gear 20. The rotation of the gear 6 realizes the reverse translation of the racks 9 on both sides. One side of the bottom of the outer slide rail 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the hook 10. The movement of the outer slide rail 7 directly drives the hook 10 to move synchronously, realizing the pitch adjustment.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The agitation assembly includes two rotating shafts 17, two spiral blades 18, a second motor 16, and a transmission assembly. The two rotating shafts 17 are rotatably connected to both sides of the galvanizing tank 1 via bearings. Spiral blades 18 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of both rotating shafts 17. When the spiral blades 18 rotate, they push the galvanizing liquid to form a vortex, causing the solution to churn up and down, preventing solute precipitation. The transmission assembly is installed on one side of the galvanizing tank 1 to achieve synchronous reverse rotation of the two shafts. The second motor 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the other side of the galvanizing tank 1, and the output end of the second motor 16 is fixedly connected to the end of one of the rotating shafts 17. The second motor 16 serves as a power source to drive the rotating shaft 17 connected to it to rotate.
[0035] Reference Figure 5 The transmission assembly includes two gears 20 and two gears 21. One end of each of the two rotating shafts 17 passes through one side of the galvanizing tank 1 and is fixedly connected to one of the gears 20. One side of the galvanizing tank 1 is located between the two gears 20 and is rotatably connected to two gears 21 via bearings. The two gears 21 mesh with each other. Through the cooperation of the two gears 20 and the two gears 21, the two spiral blades 18 rotate in opposite directions, which enhances the turbulence effect.
[0036] Reference Figure 4 A protective cover 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the galvanizing tank 1 on the outside of the transmission component to protect the transmission component from external contamination and prevent operators from accidentally touching it.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 The clamping assembly includes a cylinder 12 and a pressure plate 13. The cylinder 12 is fixedly installed in the middle of the hook 10. The output end of the cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 13. The pressure plate 13 moves up and down under the drive of the cylinder 12, directly acting on the surface of the lightning rod to achieve clamping.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 A rubber pad 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate 13. The rubber pad 14 increases the friction with the surface of the lightning rod and prevents damage to the workpiece when clamping.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 The bottom of the horizontal shell 4 has displacement ports 11 on both sides, and two hooks 10 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two displacement ports 11. The displacement ports 11 provide a channel for the movement of the hooks 10 and play a guiding role.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 An anode plate 15 is fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the inner wall of the galvanizing tank 1. The anode plate 15 serves as the anode in the electroplating process and replenishes zinc ions to the solution through an electrochemical reaction.
[0041] Working principle: The lightning rod is placed on the two hooks 10 of the device and connected to the cathode. The hydraulic cylinder 3 is activated to move the lightning rod down until it is immersed in the zinc plating solution in the tank. The anode is connected to the metal anode plate 15, which reduces the zinc ions in the electroplating solution and deposits them on the surface of the lightning rod to form a protective layer. Both motor 5 and motor 16 are geared motors. By starting motor 5, the gear 6 is rotated. Under the sliding support of the inner slide rail 8 and the outer slide rail 7, the racks 9 on both sides can be moved in opposite directions. This allows the distance between the two hooks 10 to be adjusted according to the length of the lightning rod, so that the lightning rod can be positioned appropriately. The lightning rod is hung and supported, and then the cylinder 12 is started to drive the pressure plate 13 to move down. With the cooperation of the rubber pad 14, it can stably clamp lightning rods of different thicknesses, thus ensuring the stability of the lightning rod during the lifting and galvanizing process. It has good adaptability. Before galvanizing, the motor 16 can be started to drive the spiral blade 18 on one of the rotating shafts 17 to rotate. With the cooperation of gear 20 and gear 21, the spiral blade 18 on the other rotating shaft 17 can be driven to rotate in the opposite direction to increase the turbulence effect and prevent solute deposition, so that the concentration of the solution in the tank is uniform to ensure the quality of the lightning rod after galvanizing.
