Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum plating, and specifically relates to an aluminum plating equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, aluminum parts are widely used due to their excellent properties. To enhance the decorative properties, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of aluminum parts, gold plating has become an important processing method. Traditional aluminum plating equipment is structurally complex, cumbersome to operate, and requires highly skilled operators. Furthermore, the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of some components are not convenient, affecting production efficiency. Therefore, developing an aluminum plating equipment with a reasonable structure, simple operation, and easy installation and maintenance is of great significance to meeting the industry's production needs.
[0003] Existing technologies have developed some aluminum plating equipment. For example, Chinese patent with announcement number "CN213772269U" discloses "an aluminum alloy plating device". It is equipped with an adding component and a resisting component. The two work together to enable workers to know the consumption of the plating metal block in a timely manner and add more. The structure is relatively simple and can ensure that the plating metal block can be completely dissolved in the electroplating solution to prevent waste.
[0004] Although the structure is relatively simple and ensures that the plating metal blocks are completely dissolved in the electroplating solution, preventing waste, the end caps in the above structure cannot be effectively fixed inside the snap-fit plate during use. Simply pressing the end caps with the cover plate reduces the fixing effect of the end caps. Utility Model Content

The end of the second mounting plate 28 away from the end cap 23 has a movable locking block 31 inside. The locking block 31 is locked in the slot 21. The bottom of the locking plate 4 is fixedly installed with a support frame 11. The end of the support frame 11 away from the locking plate 4 has an integrally formed adding tube 13. The bottom of the end cap 23 is fixedly installed with a resistance spring 5. The end of the resistance spring 5 away from the end cap 23 is fixedly installed with a resistance post 9. The bottom of the end cap 23 is fixedly installed with limit plates 12 on both sides of the resistance post 9.
[0024] refer to Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 5 A hinge seat 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper end of the snap-fit plate 4. The cover plate 3 is hinged to one side of the upper end of the cover plate 3 through the hinge seat 6. Snap-fit grooves 7 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the snap-fit plate 4. A first handle 2 is provided on one side of the upper end of the cover plate 3. A second handle 26 is provided at the center of the upper end of the end cover 23. A through hole 1 is opened at the center of the inside of the cover plate 3. The through hole 1 is fitted onto the outside of the second handle 26. The cover plate 3 is closed on the upper end of the end cover 23. A slot 29 is opened inside the end of the second mounting plates 28 on both sides away from the end cover 23. A snap-fit spring 30 is fixedly installed inside the slot 29. The end of the snap-fit spring 30 away from the slot 29 is fixedly installed on one side of the snap block 31. The snap block 31 moves through the slot 29 and snap-fit spring 30. Inside the second mounting plate 28, the first mounting plates 27 on both sides slide inside the first mounting grooves 15 on both sides, and the second mounting plates 28 on both sides slide inside the second mounting grooves 20. The end cap 23 is slidably installed in the circular groove 16 by the first mounting plates 27 and the second mounting plates 28 on both sides cooperating with the first mounting grooves 15 and the second mounting grooves 20 on the snap-fit plate 4, respectively. The snap-fit block 31 inside the second mounting plate 28 can be flexibly extended and retracted by the snap-fit spring 30 and the groove 29. When the end cap 23 slides to the appropriate position, the snap-fit block 31 can be snapped into the snap-fit groove 21 inside the baffle 18, thereby fixing the position of the end cap 23 and ensuring that the end cap 23 is installed firmly.
[0025] refer to Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 4The end cap 23 has an integrally formed limiting plate 8 at the bottom. The limiting plate 8 has limiting grooves 22 inside its circumference. A sliding opening 25 is provided between the snap-fit plate 4 and the support frame 11. A limiting block 24 is integrally formed around the inner circumference of the sliding opening 25. The limiting plate 8 slides at the connection between the end cap 3 and the support frame 11 through the sliding opening 25. The limiting groove 22 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the limiting block 24. The resisting spring 5 and the two limiting plates 12 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the end cap 23 through the limiting plate 8. The resisting spring 5 is fixedly installed inside the two limiting plates 12. The resisting column 9 also slides inside the two limiting plates 12. The resisting column 9 resists inside the adding tube 13. Multiple adding holes 14 are provided on both sides inside the adding tube 13. Through the setting of the adding holes 14 and the resisting column 9, the two cooperate with each other, so that the workers can know the consumption of the plating metal block in time and add it. The structure is relatively simple and can ensure that the plating metal block can be completely dissolved in the electroplating solution to prevent waste.
[0026] Operating principle and advantages: First, the equipment is installed and prepared. Since the bottom of the snap-fit plate 4 has snap-fit grooves 7 on both sides, it can be quickly connected to other supporting equipment or fixed structures through the snap-fit grooves 7, achieving initial positioning and installation of the equipment. Next, the cover plate 3 is hinged to one side of the upper end of the snap-fit plate 4 through the hinge seat 6. The first handle 2 on the cover plate 3 facilitates the operator to open and close the cover plate 3. Simultaneously, the end cover 23, through the first mounting plate 27 and the second mounting plate 28 on its two sides, respectively cooperates with the first mounting groove 15 and the second mounting groove 20 on the snap-fit plate 4, achieving sliding installation of the end cover 23 within the circular groove 16. The locking block 31 inside the second mounting plate 28, through the action of the locking spring 30 and the groove 29, can engage in the locking groove 21 inside the baffle 18 when the end cover 23 slides to the appropriate position, thereby fixing the position of the end cover 23 and ensuring its stable installation. After the equipment installation is completed, the plating solution needs to be added. The lower end of the fixed support frame 11 is integrally formed with an adding tube 13. Electroplating solution is added to the electroplating tank, and then the plating metal block becomes the anode through conductivity, providing cations to the electroplating solution and ensuring that the ion concentration of the electroplating solution remains constant. During the electroplating process, as the plating metal block continuously shrinks and disappears, the resisting column 9 gradually moves downward until the sliding block on the resisting column 9 triggers the switch of the alarm device to sound an alarm, reminding the worker to add plating metal blocks. At this time, the cover plate 3 is opened, and the entire end cover 23 is lifted out using the second handle 26. Then, an appropriate amount of plating metal block is added to the adding tube 13. Finally, the end cover 23 is reinstalled according to the above operation to deactivate the alarm, ensuring that the metal ion concentration of the electroplating solution remains constant. Through the setting of the adding hole 14 and the resisting column 9, the two work together to allow the worker to know the consumption of plating metal blocks in a timely manner and add them. The structure is relatively simple and can ensure that the plating metal blocks are completely dissolved in the electroplating solution, preventing waste.
