Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a copper busbar silver plating brush plating mechanism 1, including a fixed base 11, a first motor 12 fixedly connected to the fixed base 11, a brush plating assembly, and an energized component 115; a connector 13 is eccentrically arranged on the output shaft of the first motor 12, the brush plating assembly includes a brush plating head 15 and a movable base 14 for mounting the brush plating head 15; the connector 13 is connected to the movable base 14, and the movable base 14 is driven to reciprocate by the unidirectional rotation of the output shaft of the first motor 12, thereby performing the brush plating action with the brush plating head 15.

[0022] In this embodiment, during the brush plating process, the brush plating assembly performs brush plating on the product, and the energized component 115 energizes the product. When the first motor 12 rotates, the output shaft of the first motor 12 drives the moving seat 14 to perform the brush plating action through the connector 13. The first motor 12 is eccentrically connected through the connector 13. Setting the first motor 12 to rotate in one direction can save power and reduce the workload on the motor. When performing the brush plating action, the brush plating head 15 can reciprocate to perform brush plating, resulting in a better effect when brush plating the product.

[0023] Preferably, the fixed base 11 is provided with a clamping mechanism, which includes a driver 16 mounted on the fixed base 11 and a clamp mounted on the output end of the driver 16. The driver 16 drives the clamp to clamp or release the energized component 115.

[0024] In this embodiment, the replacement of the energized component 115 is achieved by controlling the clamping and releasing; at the same time, the clamping mechanism can be automated to a certain extent by using the driver 16 to drive the clamp, while also ensuring the clamping strength of the clamping mechanism.

[0025] Preferably, the clamp includes a first clamping plate 17, a second clamping plate 18, and a linkage plate 19. The first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 are rotatably connected to the fixed base 11 via a rotating shaft, and the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 are both connected to the linkage plate 19. The output end of the driver 16 is connected to the linkage plate 19 to drive the linkage plate 19 to move and cause the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 to move closer together to clamp the energized component 115 or to separate and release the energized component 115.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 are connected to both sides of the linkage plate 19. The first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 rotate through the rotating shaft. The driver 16 drives the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 to clamp the energized component 115 through the rotating shaft. With the linkage plate 19, the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 can be driven simultaneously by one driver 16 to cooperate, and the movement of the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 is more synchronized.

[0027] Preferably, the positions where the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 are connected to the linkage piece 19 are provided with slide rails 110, and the linkage piece 19 is provided with a slider 111 at the position corresponding to the slide rail 110. The linkage piece 19 is located in the slide rail 110 and slides in cooperation with the slide rail 110. When the driver 16 drives the linkage piece 19 to move, the slider 111 cooperates with the slide rail 110 to drive the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 to move closer to each other or separate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the slide 110 can provide the slider 111 with a certain sliding stroke, and the same linkage piece 19 can drive the first clamping plate 17 and the second clamping plate 18 to move through a simple structure.

[0029] Preferably, the actuator 16 is a hydraulic actuator 16 or a pneumatic actuator 16.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the hydraulic driver 16 and the pneumatic driver 16 drive the clamping assembly to perform clamping action, the hydraulic driver 16 and the pneumatic driver 16 can provide a certain buffering effect when driving the clamping assembly to perform clamping, so as to avoid the driver 16 being overloaded and damaged or the plating head 15 being damaged due to rigid clamping.

[0031] Furthermore, a guide rail 112 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 11, and the movable base 14 is slidably connected to the guide rail 112; the movable base 14 is provided with a strip hole 113, and the connecting member 13 passes through the strip hole 113. When the output shaft of the first motor 12 rotates, it carries the connecting member 13 to move on a circular trajectory, and carries the movable base 14 to slide back and forth along the direction of the guide rail 112.

[0032] In this embodiment, this configuration has the advantages of simple structure and easy implementation, and the reciprocating drive effect can be achieved with a simple structure.

[0033] Preferably, a buffer spring 117 is provided between the movable seat 14 and the brush plating head 15. The movable seat 14 and the brush plating head 15 are connected to each other by bolts 116, and the buffer spring 117 is sleeved on the bolts 116. The movable seat 14 and the bolts 116 are connected in a way that allows them to move along the axial direction of the bolts 116.

[0034] In this embodiment, the brush plating head 15 can move axially toward the bolt 116 during the brush plating operation, and can complete the brush plating operation at different heights; the brush plating head 15 is provided with a cavity corresponding to the position of the bolt 116, and the bolt 116 is disposed in the cavity and abuts against the cavity; the surface of the bolt 116 away from the brush plating head 15 is smooth, and the brush plating head 15 can move axially toward the bolt 116.

[0035] Preferably, the movable seat 14 is provided with a liquid flow channel 114 extending to the plating head 15.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the brush plating head 15 is performing brush plating, the liquid flows out from the liquid flow channel 114 toward the product, and the brush plating head 15 is simultaneously performing brush plating, so the brush plating work can be more complete.

[0037] The solution also includes a copper busbar silver plating brush plating device that works in conjunction with the copper busbar silver plating brush plating mechanism 1.

The frame is equipped with an X-axis moving mechanism, a Y-axis moving mechanism, a Z-axis moving mechanism, and the copper busbar silver plating brush plating mechanism 1. The copper busbar silver plating brush plating mechanism 1 is mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism.

[0038] In this embodiment, the X-axis moving mechanism, the Y-axis moving mechanism, and the Z-axis moving mechanism can realize the movement of the entire device in three different directions (X, Y, and Z). At the same time, the copper busbar silver plating brush plating mechanism 1 is set on the Z-axis moving mechanism, which can satisfy the requirement that the copper busbar silver plating brush plating mechanism 1 can complete the brush plating action when facing products of different sizes.

[0039] Furthermore, the Y-axis moving mechanism includes a track 21 disposed on one side of the frame, a first sliding seat 22 slidably connected to the track 21, a second motor 23 disposed on the other side of the frame, and the first sliding seat 22 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 23 so as to drive the first sliding seat 22 to slide along the output shaft of the second motor 23 by the second motor 23.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the second motor 23 rotates, it drives the first sliding seat 22 to move. The first sliding seat 22 is provided with a sliding platform that can slide on the output shaft of the second motor 23. The sliding platform can drive the first sliding seat 22 to move.

At the same time, X motor 31 is mounted on the first sliding seat 22, and Y motor is mounted on X sliding seat 32.
