Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of barrel plating equipment, and more specifically to a fully automatic continuous barrel plating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is a surface treatment method in which the substrate metal is used as the cathode in a salt solution containing a pre-plated metal. Through electrolysis, the cations of the pre-plated metal in the plating solution are deposited on the surface of the substrate metal to form a coating. Currently, the biggest difference between barrel plating and rack plating is the use of a barrel. The barrel is a container that holds small parts and plates them as they are continuously tumbled. A typical barrel is hexagonal prism-shaped and placed horizontally. One side of the barrel wall is open. During electroplating, a certain number of small parts are loaded into the barrel through the opening, and then the barrel door is closed to seal the opening. The barrel wall is covered with many small holes. During electroplating, the conduction of current between the parts and the anode, the renewal of the solution inside and outside the barrel, and the discharge of waste gas all require these holes. The cathode conductive device inside the barrel passes through the central shaft holes on both sides of the barrel via copper wires or rods, and is then fixed to the conductive feet on the left and right walls of the barrel. The parts inside the barrel naturally connect to the cathode conductive device due to their own gravity.

[0003] For example, a barrel plating device with prior art publication number CN210945838U uses a plating tank and a barrel to perform surface electroplating on the workpiece. At the same time, the support rod, the actuating plate, and the actuating teeth make the barrel move vertically, resulting in more complete surface electroplating of the workpiece.

[0004] However, the existing technology described above still has the following problems in use: In the traditional barrel plating equipment, during the electroplating process, operators need to manually open the cover plate on the electroplating drum for loading and unloading, which seriously affects the continuous barrel plating efficiency of the parts. Based on this, this utility model provides a fully automatic continuous barrel plating equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides a fully automatic continuous barrel plating equipment. Parts are guided into the electric drum via a feeding pipe, achieving automatic feeding. Simultaneously, the feeding pipe extending into the plating drum reduces damage to both the parts and the drum. After the plating drum has undergone plating in the plating bath, the cover plate on the drum automatically opens, completing the automatic unloading of the parts. This eliminates the need for manual feeding and unloading, significantly improving the continuous barrel plating efficiency and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic continuous barrel plating device, comprising a track frame and an electroplating tank disposed below the track frame. A barrel plating assembly is slidably disposed within the track frame. The barrel plating assembly includes a slider. A vertical plate is connected to the bottom of the slider via a linear module. A support is connected between two vertical plates. An electroplating roller is rotatably disposed inside the support. A feed inlet is opened at the top of the electroplating roller. A feeding pipe adapted to the feed inlet is fixedly passed through the top of the slider. A receiving tank is fixedly disposed on one side of the electroplating tank, and the top of the receiving tank is fixed to the bottom of the track frame.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a first electric push rod is fixedly provided on one side of the two vertical plates that are close to each other. The bottom end of the piston rod of the first electric push rod is connected to the feeding pipe. The feeding pipe is automatically raised and lowered by the first electric push rod, so as to automatically adjust the height of the feeding pipe.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the feed inlet is provided with a cover plate, which is connected to the electroplating roller via a rotating rod. The rear end of the rotating rod passes through the bracket and extends to the rear of the bracket. Extending the rotating rod to the rear of the bracket facilitates the automatic opening and closing of the cover plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a second electric push rod is fixedly embedded in the inner walls of both the front and rear sides of the feed inlet, and an insertion hole adapted to the second electric push rod is opened on the outer walls of both the front and rear sides of the cover plate. The second electric push rod is used to cooperate with the insertion hole to improve the stability of the cover plate after it is closed.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the track frame has movable grooves on both its front and rear surfaces, and a lead screw is rotatably connected inside each of the two movable grooves. A nut block is threaded onto the lead screw, and the slider is fixed between the two nut blocks. With the cooperation of the lead screw and the nut blocks, the position of the slider can be automatically adjusted.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the two lead screws are connected by a belt assembly, which is located on one side of the slider. The belt assembly connects the two lead screws together, thereby enabling the synchronous rotation of the two lead screws.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating shaft runs through the bracket, and the rotating shaft meshes with the electroplating drum through a gear set. Motors are fixedly installed at the rear end, front end, and one side of the track frame of the bracket. Multiple motor output shafts are respectively connected to the rotating rod, the rotating shaft, and the lead screw. Using motors as power drives can improve the continuous barrel plating efficiency of parts.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model guides the parts into the electric drum through a feeding pipe to achieve automatic feeding. At the same time, the feeding pipe extends into the electroplating drum to reduce damage to the parts and the electroplating drum. After the electroplating drum has been electroplated in the electroplating tank, the cover plate on the electroplating drum can be opened automatically to complete the automatic unloading of the parts. There is no need for manual feeding and unloading, which greatly improves the continuous barrel plating efficiency of the parts.

[0015] 2. The slider moves horizontally via the nut block on the lead screw, and the lead screw is rotated by the motor. This automatically adjusts the position of the electroplating drum, allowing it to move back and forth between the electroplating tank and the receiving tank, thus achieving automatic continuous barrel plating of parts and further improving the efficiency of continuous barrel plating.

[0023] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-5This utility model provides a fully automatic continuous barrel plating equipment, including a track frame 1 and an electroplating tank 2 located below the track frame 1. A barrel plating component 3 is slidably arranged inside the track frame 1. The barrel plating component 3 includes a slider 31. The bottom of the slider 31 is connected to a vertical plate 33 through a linear module 32. A support 34 is connected between the two vertical plates 33. An electroplating roller 35 is rotatably arranged inside the support 34. A feed port 36 is opened at the top of the electroplating roller 35.

[0025] The top of the slider 31 is fixedly connected to a feeding pipe 37 that is compatible with the feed inlet 36. The two vertical plates 33 are each fixedly provided with a first electric push rod 4 on one side close to each other. The bottom end of the piston rod of the first electric push rod 4 is connected to the feeding pipe 37. The feeding pipe 37 is automatically raised and lowered by the first electric push rod 4, so that the height of the feeding pipe 37 can be automatically adjusted. The electroplating tank 2 is fixedly provided with a receiving tank 38 on one side, and the top of the receiving tank 38 is fixed to the bottom of the track frame 1.

[0026] The feed inlet 36 is provided with a cover plate 5, and a rubber sealing strip for filling the gap between the cover plate 5 and the feed inlet 36 can be provided. The cover plate 5 is connected to the electroplating roller 35 through a rotating rod 6. The rear end of the rotating rod 6 passes through the bracket 34 and extends to the rear of the bracket 34.

[0027] In actual use, the first electric push rod 4 extends to drive the feeding pipe 37 to move down and insert into the electroplating drum 35. Then, the feeding pipe 37 guides the parts to be automatically conveyed into the electric drum, thus realizing automatic feeding of the parts. After that, the feeding pipe 37 extends out of the electroplating drum 35, and the cover plate 5 is closed. Then, the second electric push rod 7 extends to drive the vertical plate 33, the bracket 34, and the electroplating drum 35 to sink into the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 2. The electroplating drum 35 rotates in the electroplating solution, and the parts tumble and fall continuously. The main metal ions are affected by the electric field. The surface of the part is restored to a metal plating layer. At the same time, fresh electroplating solution is replenished into the electroplating drum 35 through small holes on the surface of the electroplating drum 35. Since this is a well-known technology, it will not be elaborated on here. After electroplating, the electroplating drum 35 is raised from the electroplating tank 2 and moved into the receiving tank 38. The electroplating drum 35 rotates so that the feed port 36 faces the receiving tank 38. Then the cover plate 5 opens automatically to discharge the part. This can reduce the damage to the part when it is tilted to a certain extent. There is no need for manual loading and unloading, which greatly improves the continuous drum plating efficiency of the part.

[0028] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 4 and Figure 5 The inner walls of the front and rear sides of the feed inlet 36 are fixedly embedded with a second electric push rod 7, and the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the cover plate 5 are provided with insertion holes 8 that are adapted to the second electric push rod 7. The second electric push rod 7 and the insertion holes 8 are used to improve the stability of the cover plate 5 after it is closed.

[0029] To improve the efficiency of barrel plating on parts, such as Figure 1 As shown, movable grooves 9 are provided on both the front and rear surfaces of the track frame 1. A lead screw 10 is rotatably connected inside each of the two movable grooves 9. A nut block 11 is threaded onto the lead screw 10. The slider 31 is fixed between the two nut blocks 11. The two lead screws 10 are connected by a belt assembly 12. The belt assembly 12 is located on one side of the slider 31. Motors 15 are fixedly installed at the rear end, front end, and one side of the track frame 1 of the bracket 34. The output shafts of multiple motors 15 are respectively connected to the rotating rod 6, the electroplating roller 35, and the lead screw 10.

[0030] The motor 15 drives the two lead screws 10 connected by the belt group 12 to rotate together. The nut blocks 11 on the two lead screws 10 drive the slider 31 to move horizontally, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the position of the electroplating drum 35 and greatly improving the drum plating efficiency.

[0031] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
