Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electroplating process equipment, and in particular relates to a vertical electroplating line for preventing workpiece displacement. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical electroplating line is an automated production line equipment used for electroplating workpieces. Its core feature is that the workpiece completes a series of operations from hanging, electroplating to unloading in a vertical posture during the electroplating process. Through a specific mechanical structure and transmission system, it achieves efficient and stable electroplating treatment of the workpiece.

[0003] However, in traditional vertical electroplating lines, workpieces are usually suspended by hooks and immersed in the electroplating solution during the electroplating process. However, due to the impact of the liquid flow in the electroplating tank and the mechanical vibration generated during equipment operation, the workpieces are prone to displacement or shaking, resulting in unstable positions of the workpieces on the hanging rack. This affects the uniformity and consistency of the electroplating layer and may also cause workpieces to collide with each other and be damaged, thus causing surface damage and seriously affecting product quality and yield.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a vertical electroplating line that prevents workpiece misalignment in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional vertical electroplating lines, where workpieces are prone to displacement or shaking due to liquid flow impact and mechanical vibration during the electroplating process, resulting in uneven electroplating layers, workpiece collision damage, and affecting product quality and yield, this utility model provides a vertical electroplating line for preventing workpiece displacement.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical approach: a vertical electroplating line for preventing workpiece displacement, comprising a support beam, sliders, slide rails, connecting blocks, connecting plates, sprockets, chains, hooks, electric cylinders, a drive motor, and connectors. Multiple sliders distributed along the left-right direction are mounted on the support beam. Each slider has two slide rails arranged side-by-side. A connecting block is installed between every two adjacent slide rails. A connector is fixed to the bottom of each connecting block. A connecting plate is installed between the lower parts of every two horizontally aligned connectors. Two sprockets distributed parallel to each other along the left-right direction are rotatably mounted on each connecting plate. A chain is wound around every two horizontally aligned sprockets. A chain with multiple hooks evenly distributed along its rotation path fixed to each chain; two electric cylinders mounted side by side on a support beam; a fixed plate fixed to the telescopic end of each electric cylinder facing upwards; the fixed plate is located between every two longitudinally distributed connecting blocks, forming an installation and mating structure; a drive motor is mounted on each of the two connecting parts; the power output ends of the two drive motors are respectively fixedly connected to two sprockets; a baffle frame, guide blocks, and partitions are also included; the baffle frame is installed between the lower parts of all connecting parts; a row of guide blocks with transverse spacing is installed on each side of the baffle frame; a partition is slidably arranged between every two longitudinally aligned guide blocks.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a receiving hopper is also included, with a receiving hopper fixedly connected between every two adjacent partitions.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, side baffles are also included. A row of side baffles with horizontal spacing is fixed to each side of the baffle frame. The four side baffles located on the leftmost and rightmost sides have different dimensions from the other side baffles.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the drive motor is a geared motor.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the partition has a porous structure.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the receiving hopper and the side baffle are filter screen structures, and the filter screen of the receiving hopper is designed with an inclination, with its bottom tilted to one side to form a guide surface.

[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. By setting up a baffle frame, guide block and partition, the three work together to form a stable limiting channel. During the process of the workpiece being immersed in the electroplating solution, the limiting channel can accurately position and dynamically limit each hanging rack, effectively preventing the workpiece from shifting or shaking due to liquid flow impact or mechanical vibration, avoiding mutual collision between workpieces, thereby significantly improving the stability and consistency of the electroplating process, while improving product yield and production reliability, and has good industrial application value and promotion prospects.

[0013] 2. By setting up a collection hopper with a filter screen structure, it can automatically intercept and collect impurity particles in the electroplating solution during the lifting and lowering of the workpiece, thereby improving the purity of the electroplating solution.

[0014] 3. By setting side baffles, the hanging rack and workpiece can be limited from the front and rear directions, enhancing the overall limiting reliability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] Example: A vertical electroplating line to prevent workpiece misalignment, such as... Figures 1-5As shown, the assembly includes a support beam 1, sliders 2, slide rails 3, connecting blocks 4, connecting plates 5, sprockets 6, chains 7, hooks 8, electric cylinders 9, drive motors 10, and connectors 11. Four sliders 2, distributed horizontally, are bolted to the support beam 1. Each slider 2 has two slide rails 3 arranged side-by-side. A connecting block 4 is bolted between every two adjacent slide rails 3. A connector 11 is welded to the bottom of each connecting block 4. A connecting plate 5 is bolted between the lower parts of every two horizontally aligned connectors 11. Two sprockets 6, distributed parallel horizontally, are rotatably mounted on each connecting plate 5. A chain 7 is wound between every two horizontally aligned sprockets 6. Multiple hooks 8, evenly distributed along their rotational trajectory, are welded onto each chain 7. Two electric cylinders 9 are bolted side-by-side to the support beam 1. A fixing plate 91 is welded upwards to the telescopic end of each electric cylinder 9. The fixing plates 91 are located between every two longitudinally distributed connecting blocks 4, forming an installation and mating structure. A drive motor 10 is bolted to each of the two connecting parts 11 on the left side. The power output ends of the two drive motors 10 are fixedly connected to the two sprockets 6 on the left side, respectively, responsible for providing power drive for the corresponding chain 7 transmission system. The drive motors 10 are geared motors, which have the advantages of large output torque, smooth operation, and high control precision, and can effectively meet the stable power output requirements of the sprocket 6 transmission system. To meet the requirements of safety and controllability, the system also includes a baffle frame 12, guide blocks 13, partitions 14, a receiving hopper 15, and side baffles 16. The baffle frame 12 is bolted between the lower parts of four connectors 11. A row of guide blocks 13 (ten guide blocks 13 per side) are bolted to its front and rear sides. A partition 14 (ten partitions 14 in total) is slidably disposed between every two longitudinally aligned guide blocks 13. The partitions 14 have a porous structure, which not only reduces the overall weight but also enhances liquid flow performance. While ensuring the limiting function of the partitions 14, it does not affect the flow of the electroplating solution around the workpiece. A receiving hopper 15 is welded between every two adjacent partitions 14 (nine in total). Each receiving hopper 15 has a row of horizontally spaced side baffles 16 welded to the front and rear sides of the baffle frame 12 (eleven side baffles 16 on each side). The four side baffles 16 located on the far left and far right have different dimensions than the other side baffles 16 to fit the overall structure of the baffle frame 12. Both the receiving hopper 15 and the side baffles 16 are filter screen structures. Through this structure, the receiving hopper 15 will not obstruct the normal flow of the electroplating solution when entering the electroplating tank. At the same time, the side baffles 16 will not affect the effective circulation of the electroplating solution around the workpiece when limiting the workpiece. In addition, the filter screen of the receiving hopper 15 is designed with an inclined bottom that slopes backward to form a guide surface, which facilitates the subsequent cleaning of collected impurities.

[0022] In the initial state, the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 9 is in the extended state, the fixing plate 91 is in the highest position, and the connecting piece 11 and its lower components are in the high position.

[0023] When a vertical electroplating line is required, the operator first installs the support beam 1 in a suitable position so that the baffle frame 12 faces the top of the electroplating tank. Then, the operator stands on the right side of the baffle frame 12 and starts the drive motor 10. Its output shaft drives the left sprocket 6 to rotate clockwise, and through the chain 7, drives the right sprocket 6 to rotate synchronously, so that the chain 7 runs smoothly.

[0024] During the operation of chain 7, when hook 8 moves to the operator's position along chain 7, the operator hangs the workpiece on hook 8 one by one until all hooks 8 on the lower side are hung. At this time, drive motor 10 is turned off to complete the loading process.

[0025] Then, the electric cylinder 9 is activated, and its telescopic end is retracted, which drives the fixed plate 91 to move downward. The fixed plate 91 further drives the connecting block 4, the connecting plate 5, and the components below the connecting piece 11 to descend together, so that the workpiece on the hook 8 gradually enters the electroplating tank. During this process, the partition plate 14 and the receiving hopper 15 first contact the bottom of the electroplating tank. Then, the baffle frame 12 continues to descend, and the track part of the guide block 13 slides into the partition plate 14, so that the partition plate 14 slides completely into the guide block 13, ensuring that the workpiece is stably immersed in the electroplating solution.

[0026] After the workpiece is fully immersed, the electroplating operation begins. During this process, the baffle frame 12, guide block 13, partition 14 and side baffle 16 work together to limit the workpiece on each hanging rack, preventing it from shifting due to liquid flow or vibration during the electroplating process, thereby ensuring the consistency and stability of the electroplating quality.

[0027] After electroplating is completed, the extension end of the control cylinder 9 extends, driving the fixed plate 91 to rise, which in turn drives the connecting block 4, connecting plate 5 and components below the connector 11 to slowly rise from the electroplating tank. During this process, the receiving hopper 15 acts as a filter device, which can effectively intercept impurity particles in the electroplating solution and retain them on the surface of the filter screen, thereby improving the purity of the electroplating solution.

[0028] When the fixed plate 91 returns to its initial height, the electric cylinder 9 is turned off, and then the drive motor 10 is started again, causing its output shaft to drive the left sprocket 6 to rotate counterclockwise, and the chain 7 to run in the opposite direction, so that the hooks 8 return to the operator one by one. At this time, the operator removes the plating racks that have been electroplated in sequence, completing the entire unloading process. After all the materials have been removed, the drive motor 10 is turned off, and the vertical electroplating line returns to its initial state, ready for the next round of work.
