Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of copper plating technology for welding wire, specifically a copper plating device for the surface of seamless flux-cored welding wire. Background Technology
[0002] Seamless flux-cored welding wire is a welding material in which the flux core is wrapped in a metal sheath without gaps. Copper plating is a key step in the production process of seamless flux-cored welding wire, and its main purpose is to improve the conductivity, rust prevention and welding performance of the welding wire.
[0003] When copper plating seamless flux-cored welding wire, the seamless flux-cored welding wire to be copper-plated needs to be evenly passed through the electroplating tank so that copper ions are precipitated and adsorbed onto the outer surface of the welding wire, thus performing copper plating treatment on the seamless flux-cored welding wire.
[0004] However, the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored welding wire to be copper-plated may have oil or dust adsorbed on it. When the seamless flux-cored welding wire with impurities adsorbed on its surface enters the electroplating tank, the impurities will prevent the copper plating from completely covering the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored welding wire, affecting the electroplating effect of the seamless flux-cored welding wire and reducing the welding effect of the seamless flux-cored welding wire. Therefore, a copper plating equipment for the surface of seamless flux-cored welding wire is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and address the problems of existing equipment, this utility model proposes a copper plating equipment for the surface of seamless flux-cored welding wire.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a copper plating equipment for the surface of seamless flux-cored welding wire, including an electroplating tank, a support component installed at the bottom of the electroplating tank, a cleaning component installed on the left side of the electroplating tank, a limiting component installed at the top of the electroplating tank, and a storage component installed on the right side of the electroplating tank.
[0007] The cleaning assembly includes a fixed plate fixedly installed on the left side of the electroplating tank. A connecting frame is fixedly installed on the left side of the fixed plate. A connecting plate is slidably installed inside the connecting frame. A collar is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate. A slot is opened on the left side of the collar. A conical cleaning ring is engaged inside the collar. A locking block is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conical cleaning ring. The locking block engages inside the slot to limit and fix the conical cleaning ring. A connecting rod is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting frame. A stop post is threaded inside the connecting rod. The right side of the stop post passes through the connecting rod and abuts against the left side of the connecting plate.
[0008] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate, and a first adapter wheel is rotatably installed inside the connecting block, the first adapter wheel being located on the right side of the connecting plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the first transfer wheel can pick up the seamless flux-cored welding wire that has passed through the conical cleaning ring and transport it into the electroplating tank for electroplating.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting component includes a fixing frame that is fixedly installed on the top of the electroplating tank, a connecting column installed inside the fixing frame, and a second adapter wheel rotatably installed at the bottom of the connecting column.
[0011] Preferably, there are two of each of the second adapter wheel, fixing frame and connecting column, and the two second adapter wheels, fixing frames and connecting columns are symmetrically distributed at the top of the electroplating tank.
[0012] Preferably, the storage assembly includes a placement plate fixedly installed on the right side of the electroplating tank, a third adapter wheel is provided on the top of the placement plate, a hole is opened on the top of the placement plate, a rotating column is installed on the top of the placement plate, a winding reel is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating column, a drive motor is installed at the bottom of the placement plate, and the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the hole and extends to the bottom of the rotating column.
[0013] Preferably, an electric telescopic rod is installed at the bottom of the placement plate, and the telescopic shaft of the electric telescopic rod extends through to the top of the placement plate and is fixedly installed with a fourth adapter wheel, which is located between the third adapter wheel and the take-up reel.
[0014] Furthermore, the up-and-down movement of the electric telescopic rod can drive the fourth adapter wheel to move up and down together, thereby adjusting the position of the seamless flux-cored welding wire and winding the seamless flux-cored welding wire layer by layer into the take-up reel.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, after adjusting the connecting plate to a suitable height inside the connecting frame, the abutment is tightened against the outer surface of the connecting plate, and the connecting plate is fixed inside the connecting frame. This allows the conical cleaning ring inside the collar to align with the seamless flux-cored welding wire. After the seamless flux-cored welding wire passes through the conical cleaning ring, impurities on the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored welding wire can be scraped off, and the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored welding wire can be roughened, thus achieving the effect of cleaning and roughening the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored welding wire.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, when the seamless flux-cored welding wire enters the electroplating tank, the seamless flux-cored welding wire enters from the top of the outer surface of the first transfer wheel to the bottom of the outer surface of the second transfer wheel, and then leaves the electroplating tank after passing through another second transfer wheel. This allows the two second transfer wheels to limit the seamless flux-cored welding wire inside the electroplating tank for electroplating, thus preventing the seamless flux-cored welding wire from shifting or shaking in the electroplating tank.
[0018] 3. In this utility model, when the seamless flux-cored welding wire is stored after electroplating, the seamless flux-cored welding wire passes through the bottom of the third transfer wheel and then passes through the top of the fourth transfer wheel to be wound onto the take-up reel for storage. Since the seamless flux-cored welding wire needs to be wound layer by layer onto the outer surface of the take-up reel in a regular manner, the electric telescopic rod can be activated to move up and down according to the winding speed of the seamless flux-cored welding wire, so that the seamless flux-cored welding wire can be wound layer by layer into the take-up reel, thereby achieving the effect of winding and reeling the seamless flux-cored welding wire.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a copper plating device for seamless flux-cored welding wire includes an electroplating tank 1, a support member 11 installed at the bottom of the electroplating tank 1, a cleaning component 2 installed on the left side of the electroplating tank 1, a limiting component 3 installed at the top of the electroplating tank 1, and a storage component 4 installed on the right side of the electroplating tank 1.
[0029] The cleaning component 2 includes a fixed plate 201 fixedly installed on the left side of the electroplating tank 1. A connecting frame 202 is fixedly installed on the left side of the fixed plate 201. A connecting plate 203 is slidably installed inside the connecting frame 202. A collar 204 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 203. A slot 205 is opened on the left side of the collar 204. A conical cleaning ring 206 is engaged inside the collar 204. A locking block 207 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conical cleaning ring 206. The locking block 207 engages inside the slot 205 to limit and fix the conical cleaning ring 206. A connecting rod 208 is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting frame 202. A stop post 209 is threaded inside the connecting rod 208. The right side of the stop post 209 passes through the connecting rod 208 and abuts against the left side of the connecting plate 203.
[0030] A connecting block 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed plate 201. A first adapter wheel 51 is rotatably installed inside the connecting block 5. The first adapter wheel 51 is located on the right side of the connecting plate 203.
[0031] Through the above technical solution, the fixing plate 201 is fixedly installed on the left side of the electroplating tank 1, so that the connecting frame 202 can be fixedly installed on the right side of the fixing plate 201. The connecting plate 203 can be inserted into the inside of the connecting frame 202 and pulled up and down. The connecting rod 208 is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting frame 202, so that the abutment 209 can be threadedly connected to the inside of the connecting rod 208. Then, the abutment 209 can rotate inside the connecting rod 208, so that the right side of the abutment 209 can rotate and abut against the left side of the connecting plate 203, fixing and limiting the connecting plate 203 inside the connecting frame 202. The vertical height of the connecting plate 203 inside the connecting frame 202 can be adjusted to meet the height of the seamless flux-cored welding wires that are fed in and at different horizontal heights. A collar 204 is fixedly installed on the top of 3, which allows the conical cleaning ring 206 and the locking block 207 to be engaged inside the collar 204 and the locking slot 205. The conical cleaning ring 206 is limited and installed inside the collar 204. The conical outlet of the conical cleaning ring 206 is compatible with the diameter of the seamless flux-cored wire. The wire passes through the inside of the conical cleaning ring 206. The conical cleaning ring 206 can scrape off impurities on the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored wire. When scraping the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored wire, the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored wire can be made rougher, making the copper plating more firmly adhering and less likely to fall off. The first transfer wheel 51 located on the right side of the conical cleaning ring 206 can pick up the cleaned seamless flux-cored wire and transport the seamless flux-cored wire to the inside of the electroplating tank 1 for electroplating.
[0032] It should be noted that the conical cleaning ring 206 can be replaced so that the conical outlet of the conical cleaning ring 206 can be adapted to seamless flux-cored welding wires of different diameters. The first transfer wheel 51 can limit the feeding of the seamless flux-cored welding wire to avoid deviation or shaking during the feeding of the seamless flux-cored welding wire.
[0033] Furthermore, considering the issue of how the seamless flux-cored welding wire is fed into the electroplating tank 1 for electroplating, the following is presented: Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The specific structure of the limiting component 3 is disclosed. The limiting component 3 includes a fixed frame 301 fixedly installed on the top of the electroplating tank 1. A connecting column 302 is installed inside the fixed frame 301. A second adapter wheel 303 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the connecting column 302.
[0034] Two second adapter wheels 303, two fixed frames 301 and two connecting columns 302 are provided. The two second adapter wheels 303, two fixed frames 301 and two connecting columns 302 are symmetrically distributed at the top of the electroplating tank 1.
[0035] Through the above technical solution, the fixing frame 301 is fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top of the electroplating tank 1, so that the connecting column 302 can be installed inside the fixing frame 301. Then, the second adapter wheel 303 is installed at the bottom of the connecting column 302. At this time, the third adapter wheel 402 is inside the electroplating tank 1. The seamless flux-cored wire enters from the top of the outer surface of the first adapter wheel 51 to the bottom of the outer surface of the second adapter wheel 303, and leaves the electroplating tank 1 after passing through another second adapter wheel 303. This allows the two second adapter wheels 303 to limit the seamless flux-cored wire inside the electroplating tank 1 for electroplating, avoiding the seamless flux-cored wire from shifting or shaking inside the electroplating tank 1.
[0036] It should be noted that the electroplating tank 1 is a device used to contain electrolyte, anode and seamless flux-cored wire. The deposition of the coating on the seamless flux-cored wire is achieved through electrolytic reaction. The internal wiring connection and structure of the electroplating tank 1 are existing technologies, and its working principle is common knowledge to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0037] Finally, considering the issue of how to store the seamless flux-cored welding wire after electroplating, the following is presented: Figure 2 and Figure 5 The specific structure of the storage component 4 is disclosed. The storage component 4 includes a placement plate 401 fixedly installed on the right side of the electroplating tank 1. A third adapter wheel 402 is provided on the top of the placement plate 401. A hole is opened on the top of the placement plate 401. A rotating column 403 is installed on the top of the placement plate 401. A winding reel 404 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating column 403. A drive motor 405 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 401. The output shaft of the drive motor 405 passes through the hole and extends to the bottom of the rotating column 403.
[0038] An electric telescopic rod 6 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 401. The telescopic shaft of the electric telescopic rod 6 extends through to the top of the placement plate 401 and is fixedly installed with a fourth adapter wheel 61. The fourth adapter wheel 61 is located between the third adapter wheel 402 and the take-up reel 404.
[0039] Through the above technical solution, the placement plate 401 is fixedly installed on the right side of the electroplating tank 1, and the third transfer wheel 402 is installed on the top left side of the placement plate 401 for transferring and conveying the seamless flux-cored welding wire conveyed from the electroplating tank 1. The rotating column 403 is rotatably installed on the top of the placement plate 401, so that the winding reel 404 can be sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating column 403 for limiting and fixing. The rotation of the rotating column 403 can drive the winding reel 404 to rotate together. The drive motor 405 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 401, and the output shaft of the drive motor 405 passes through the hole at the top of the placement plate 401 and connects to the inside of the rotating column 403. When the drive motor 405 is energized, it can drive the rotation. The column 403 rotates, and the electric telescopic rod 6 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 401. The telescopic rod of the electric telescopic rod 6 extends through to the top of the placement plate 401 and is fitted with the fourth adapter wheel 61. When the seamless flux-cored welding wire is collected after electroplating, the seamless flux-cored welding wire passes through the bottom of the third adapter wheel 402 and then passes through the top of the fourth adapter wheel 61 before being wound onto the take-up reel 404 for collection. Since the seamless flux-cored welding wire needs to be wound onto the outer surface of the take-up reel 404 layer by layer in a regular manner, the electric telescopic rod 6 can be activated to move up and down according to the winding speed of the seamless flux-cored welding wire. This allows the seamless flux-cored welding wire to be wound onto the take-up reel 404 layer by layer, achieving the effect of winding and collecting the seamless flux-cored welding wire.
[0040] It should be noted that a controller is installed on the outer surface of the electroplating tank 1. The controller can energize the drive motor 405, the electric telescopic mechanism, and the electroplating tank 1, and control the start and stop of the drive motor 405, the electric telescopic mechanism, and the electroplating tank 1.
[0041] In summary, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0042] When copper plating seamless flux-cored wire, first loosen the abutment 209, adjust the connecting plate 203 to a suitable height inside the connecting frame 202, then tighten the abutment 209 against the outer surface of the connecting plate 203, fixing the connecting plate 203 inside the connecting frame 202. This allows the conical cleaning ring 206, which is engaged inside the collar 204, to align with the seamless flux-cored wire. After the seamless flux-cored wire passes through the conical cleaning ring 206, impurities on the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored wire can be scraped off, and the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored wire can be roughened. The conical cleaning ring 206 can be replaced with different diameters to adapt to and clean seamless flux-cored wires of different diameters, achieving the effect of cleaning and roughening the outer surface of the seamless flux-cored wire. After cleaning, the seamless flux-cored wire passes from the top of the outer surface of the first adapter wheel 51 into the electroplating tank 1, where it is cleaned and roughened. The roughened seamless flux-cored wire allows the copper plating to adhere more firmly to its outer surface, resulting in better welding performance. Inside the electroplating tank 1, the seamless flux-cored wire is supported and transported by the second transfer wheel 303, ensuring a smoother flow. After electroplating, the wire flows out of the tank 1, passes under the third transfer wheel 402, and then passes over the top of the fourth transfer wheel 61, allowing it to wind into the take-up reel 404. The drive motor 405 is energized to rotate the take-up reel 404, continuously winding the wire into it. The electric telescopic rod 6 moves up and down, causing the fourth transfer wheel 61 to move up and down, winding the wire layer by layer into the take-up reel 404, achieving a layer-by-layer winding effect.
