Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of new energy vehicle parts processing, and specifically relates to an intelligent silver plating tank for new energy vehicle parts. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles are mostly modular and integrated in structure. In order to reduce the replacement cost and time of various parts, they need to be electroplated. Silver is electroplated on the surface of the parts to improve their corrosion resistance and durability.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN221117686U discloses a high-efficiency silver plating device that prevents scratches. The device includes a tank containing a silver plating bath. A movable frame is mounted above the tank, and a first electric push rod is mounted above the movable frame. A first lifting frame is mounted at the output end of the first electric push rod, and a second frame is fixedly mounted at the rear end of the first lifting frame. A support mesh is installed inside the second frame. A second electric push rod is mounted inside the movable frame, and a second lifting frame is mounted at its output end. A first frame is fixedly mounted below the second lifting frame, and a limiting pressure mesh is installed inside the first frame. This high-efficiency silver plating device prevents scratches by clamping the parts to be silvered into the silver plating bath using the support mesh and the limiting pressure mesh. The support mesh and the limiting pressure mesh prevent scratches on the silver-plating parts, avoiding collisions and scratches between parts, thus ensuring the silver plating effect.

[0004] As can be seen from the above structure, the parts to be silvered are clamped and fed into the silver plating bath by the support net and the limiting pressure net, and the support net and the limiting pressure net will not scratch the silvered parts. However, in actual use, after the parts are silvered, the parts need to be disassembled and then the parts to be silvered can be placed before the next silver plating operation can be carried out, which reduces the silver plating efficiency of the parts. Therefore, a silver plating device for automotive parts with cyclic silver plating is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent silver plating tank for new energy vehicle parts, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A smart silver plating tank for new energy vehicle parts includes a plate surface. Mounting frames are fixedly connected to both upper sides of the plate surface. A drying component is located at the upper end of each mounting frame. A silver plating box is located on the surface of the plate surface. A circulation component is located inside the mounting frames. The circulation component includes a synchronous pulley rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting frames. The outer surfaces of the synchronous pulleys are interconnected via a synchronous belt. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected inside the synchronous pulley near the upper end of the plate surface. A circulation motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting frames. The output shaft of the circulation motor passes through the mounting frames and is fixedly connected to the synchronous pulley. Multiple mounting seats are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the synchronous belt. A positioning component is located inside each mounting seat.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the positioning component includes a fixed column fixedly connected to the opposite side of the mounting base, a mounting sleeve rod rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixed column, and connecting frames fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the mounting sleeve rod.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a fixed mesh plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting frame, and sliding grooves are provided on opposite sides of the connecting frame. A sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and a movable mesh plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding block. A clamping spring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding groove, and the other end of the clamping spring is fixedly connected to the sliding block. A handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable mesh plate.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the sliding groove and the sliding block are slidably inserted into each other, a limiting rod is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove, a limiting hole is opened on the outer surface of the sliding block, and the limiting rod and the limiting hole are slidably inserted into each other.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a support leg is fixedly connected to the lower end of the plate, and a groove is provided at the lower end of the support leg. An electric push rod is fixedly connected inside the groove, and a caster wheel is fixedly connected to the other end of the electric push rod. The caster wheel and the groove slide and insert into each other.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the drying assembly includes a frame disposed on the upper end of the mounting bracket, an air pump body is fixedly connected to the upper end of the frame, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to both ends of the air pump body, and an air inlet chamber is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting pipe. The air inlet chamber is installed on both sides of the frame and penetrates the frame.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the air inlet chamber includes a shell fixedly connected to both sides of the frame, a cooling pipe fixedly connected inside the shell, and an air outlet fixedly connected to the inner side of the shell, the air outlet penetrating the frame.

[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0015] First, during operation, the circulating motor on the outside of the mounting frame starts, and its output shaft drives the synchronous pulley fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the synchronous pulleys on the inside of the mounting frame are mutually transmitted through the synchronous belt on the outer surface, the rotation of one synchronous pulley will drive the synchronous belt and other synchronous pulleys to rotate synchronously. Multiple mounting seats fixed on the outer surface of the synchronous belt move with the synchronous belt. The positioning components on the inside of the mounting seats can firmly fix the new energy vehicle parts. The parts enter the plating solution in the silver plating tank with the synchronous belt and complete the silver plating during the circulating movement. After that, they leave the silver plating tank, realizing the circulating movement silver plating process of the parts. The circulating movement allows the parts to contact the plating solution evenly, avoiding problems such as uneven silver plating thickness and rough surface caused by uneven flow of plating solution when silver plating in a fixed position. This greatly improves the silver plating quality and reduces the defect rate.

[0016] Secondly, when new parts need to be fixed, the operator pulls the movable screen upward by the handle. The movable screen slides upward along the sliding groove on the opposite side of the connecting frame, while compressing the clamping spring at the upper end of the sliding groove. After placing the part on the fixed screen, the operator releases the handle. Under the action of the spring force, the clamping spring pushes the movable screen downward along the sliding groove to reset, cooperating with the fixed screen to form a stable clamping of the part. The elastic clamping of the clamping spring can adapt to parts of different thicknesses and shapes, eliminating the need for frequent replacement of positioning components and greatly improving the versatility of the device. The screen structure of the movable and fixed screens ensures stable fixing of the parts without obstructing the surface of the parts, ensuring that the plating solution can fully contact all parts of the parts and improving the uniformity of silver plating.

[0022] Example

[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment of an intelligent silver plating tank for new energy vehicle parts includes a plate 1. Mounting frames 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the plate 1. A drying component 3 is provided at the upper end of the mounting frame 2. A silver plating box 10 is provided on the surface of the plate 1. A circulation component 4 is provided inside the mounting frame 2. The circulation component 4 includes a synchronous wheel 41 rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 2. The outer surfaces of the synchronous wheels 41 are connected to each other through a synchronous belt 43. A connecting shaft 42 is fixedly connected inside the synchronous wheel 41 near the upper end of the plate 1 of the mounting frame 2. A circulation motor 45 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting frame 2. The output shaft of the circulation motor 45 passes through the mounting frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the synchronous wheel 41. Multiple mounting seats 44 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the synchronous belt 43. A positioning component 5 is provided inside the mounting seat 44.

[0024] refer to Figures 1-3 The positioning component 5 includes a fixed post 51 fixedly connected to the opposite side of the mounting base 44. A mounting sleeve 52 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixed post 51. Connecting brackets 53 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the mounting sleeve 52. A fixed mesh plate 57 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting bracket 53. Sliding grooves 54 are provided on the opposite sides of the connecting bracket 53. Sliding blocks 55 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 54. Movable mesh plates 58 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the sliding blocks 55. A clamping spring 56 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding groove 54. The other end of the clamping spring 56 is connected to... The sliding block 55 is fixedly connected, and the upper end of the movable mesh plate 58 is fixedly connected to the handle 59. When it is necessary to fix a new part, the operator pulls the movable mesh plate 58 upward through the handle 59. The movable mesh plate 58 slides upward along the sliding groove 54 on the opposite side of the connecting frame 53, while compressing the clamping spring 56 at the upper end of the sliding groove 54. After placing the part on the fixed mesh plate 57, the operator releases the handle 59. Under the action of the elastic force, the clamping spring 56 pushes the movable mesh plate 58 downward along the sliding groove 54 to reset, and cooperates with the fixed mesh plate 57 to form a stable clamping of the part.

[0025] refer to Figure 3 The sliding groove 54 and the sliding block 55 are slidably inserted into each other. The sliding groove 54 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting rod 12. The outer surface of the sliding block 55 is provided with a limiting hole 11. The limiting rod 12 and the limiting hole 11 are slidably inserted into each other. The limiting rod 12 and the limiting hole 11 can limit the sliding block 55 during use, thereby ensuring the stable movement of the movable mesh plate 58 during use.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 The lower end of the plate 1 is fixedly connected to a support leg 6, and the lower end of the support leg 6 is provided with a groove 7. An electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected inside the groove 7, and the other end of the electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to a caster wheel 9. The caster wheel 9 and the groove 7 are slidably inserted into each other. By controlling the electric push rod 8, the caster wheel 9 is extended out of the groove 7. When the caster wheel 9 is extended out of the groove 7, it can be moved by the caster wheel 9. When fixing the device, the caster wheel 9 is retracted into the groove 7, so that the support leg 6 contacts the ground. This increases the contact area between the device and the ground when the support leg 6 contacts the ground, thereby achieving a more stable effect.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The drying assembly 3 includes a frame 31 mounted on the upper end of the mounting bracket 2. An air pump body 32 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the frame 31. Connecting pipes 33 are fixedly connected to both ends of the air pump body 32. An air inlet chamber 34 is fixedly connected to the other end of each connecting pipe 33. The air inlet chamber 34 is installed on both sides of the frame 31 and penetrates the frame 31. The air inlet chamber 34 includes a housing 341 fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 31. A cooling pipe 342 is fixedly connected inside the housing 341, and an air outlet 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing 341. 43. The air outlet 343 penetrates the frame 31. During operation, the air pump body 32 installed on the upper end of the frame 31 is started. The airflow is delivered to the air inlet chambers 34 on both sides of the frame 31 through the connecting pipes 33 at both ends. The cooling pipes 342 fixed inside the housing 341 of the air inlet chamber 34 will cool down the incoming airflow to avoid damage to the silver plating layer caused by the high temperature airflow. The cooled airflow passes through the air outlet 343 inside the housing 341 and penetrates the frame 31, and is precisely blown onto the surface of the new energy vehicle parts that have been silvered.

[0028] Operating principle and advantages: During use, the circulating motor 45 on the outer side of the mounting bracket 2 starts, and its output shaft drives the synchronous pulley 41 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the synchronous pulleys 41 on the inner side of the mounting bracket 2 are interconnected through the synchronous belt 43 on the outer surface, the rotation of one synchronous pulley 41 will drive the synchronous belt 43 and other synchronous pulleys 41 to rotate synchronously. The multiple mounting seats 44 fixed on the outer surface of the synchronous belt 43 move with the synchronous belt 43. The synchronous belt 43 moves at a relatively slow speed, allowing parts to be placed inside the positioning assembly 5 during movement. The handle 5 is used to... 9. Pull the movable mesh plate 58 upward. The movable mesh plate 58 slides upward along the sliding groove 54 on the opposite side of the connecting frame 53, while compressing the clamping spring 56 at the upper end of the sliding groove 54. After placing the part on the fixed mesh plate 57, release the handle 59. Under the action of elastic force, the clamping spring 56 pushes the movable mesh plate 58 downward along the sliding groove 54 to reset, cooperating with the fixed mesh plate 57 to form a stable clamping of the part. The elastic clamping of the clamping spring 56 can adapt to parts of different thicknesses and shapes. Then the part enters the plating process with the synchronous belt 43. In the silver plating solution inside the silver plating tank 10, silver plating is completed during the circulating movement process. After leaving the silver plating tank 10, the silver plating process of the parts is realized through circulating movement. The circulating movement ensures that the parts are evenly contacted with the plating solution. After the silver plating is completed, the parts move upward, and the air pump body 32 installed on the upper end of the frame 31 is started. The airflow is delivered to the air inlet chambers 34 on both sides of the frame 31 through the connecting pipes 33 at both ends. The cooling pipes 342 fixed inside the shell 341 of the air inlet chamber 34 will cool down the incoming airflow to avoid damage to the silver plating layer caused by the high temperature airflow. The cooled airflow passes through the air outlet 343 through the inner side of the shell 341 and is precisely blown onto the surface of the new energy vehicle parts that have been silvered. The stable airflow provided by the air pump body 32, together with the directional blowing of the air outlet 343, can quickly remove the moisture from the surface of the parts, accelerate the drying of the silver plating layer, shorten the drying time, and improve the overall production efficiency. The setting of the cooling pipe 342 ensures that the airflow blown onto the parts is low temperature airflow, effectively preventing the silver plating layer from discoloration, cracking and other quality problems caused by high temperature, and ensuring the stability of the silver plating effect.
