Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to an electroplating box assembly with an anti-jamming structure. Background Technology

[0002] Alloy electroplating is a process that uses electrolysis to deposit a thin layer of alloy onto the surface of certain metals, thereby obtaining superior material properties. It utilizes electrolysis to coat the surface of metal or other material parts with a metal film, which prevents metal oxidation and improves wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. Electroplating requires a low-voltage, high-current power supply to the electroplating tank and an electrolytic device consisting of an electroplating solution, the part to be plated (cathode), and an anode. The composition of the electroplating solution varies depending on the coating, but all contain a main salt that provides metal ions, a complexing agent that binds the metal ions in the main salt to form complexes, a buffer to stabilize the pH of the solution, an anode activator, and special additives. The electroplating process involves the metal ions in the plating solution being reduced to metal atoms through electrode reactions under the influence of an external electric field, and then deposited on the cathode.

[0003] When electroplating small-sized products, a large number of products are loaded into the electroplating tank, which is then placed in the electroplating solution and rotated. The electroplating process is achieved through electrode heads inside the tank. After loading, the tank lid needs to be placed over the opening. Existing electroplating tanks have a limiting plate at the opening that mates with the lid. When thinner products are loaded, some may fall onto the limiting plate and become trapped between the lid and the limiting plate after the lid is closed, preventing them from entering the tank and completing the electroplating process. This negatively impacts the overall electroplating effect. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the existing electroplating tank structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main purpose is to provide an electroplating box assembly with an anti-jamming structure, which can effectively solve the problem that existing electroplating boxes easily cause products to fall onto the limiting plate and affect the overall electroplating process of the product.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An electroplating tank assembly with an anti-jamming structure includes a mounting frame, an electroplating tank, electrode heads, and a sealing cover. The electroplating tank is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame under the drive of an external driving mechanism. The electroplating tank has an electroplating tank with an opening on one side. A sealing groove is recessed inward on the outer side of the opening of the electroplating tank. A limiting plate is formed at the bottom of the sealing groove. A wave-shaped first fitting part is sequentially recessed inward on the inner side wall of the limiting plate. Two electrode heads are provided. One end of each electrode head is respectively located on the left and right sides of the inner side wall of the electroplating tank. The other ends of the two electrode heads extend inward into the electroplating tank and move in the electroplating tank as the electroplating tank rotates. The sealing cover is mounted on the electroplating tank and covers the opening of the electroplating tank. A second fitting part is recessed inward on the inner side of the sealing cover and mates with the first fitting part. The first fitting part and the second fitting part are located on the same plane after mating.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting frame includes two mounting plates arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, and a reinforcing rod connecting the two mounting plates, wherein the reinforcing rod is a plurality of spaced-apart rods; the two ends of the electroplating tank are respectively rotatably mounted on the two mounting plates.

[0008] As a preferred option, the mounting plate is provided with a first transmission wheel driven by an external drive mechanism, and the two ends of the electroplating tank are provided with second transmission wheels that cooperate with the first transmission wheel.

[0009] As a preferred option, the side wall of the electroplating tank is provided with a first water passage hole that connects to the electroplating tank.

[0010] As a preferred option, the sidewall of the sealing cap has a second water passage hole that penetrates the upper and lower end faces of the sealing tube.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the electroplating tank is provided with reinforcing ribs arranged in a ring, and the reinforcing ribs are two ribs arranged laterally at intervals.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:

[0013] The inner wall of the limiting plate is provided with a wave-shaped first adapter portion. When a product falls onto the limiting plate during the loading process, the first adapter portion reduces the contact area between the limiting plate and the product, causing the product on the limiting plate to fall into the electroplating tank. A second adapter portion, which mates with the first adapter portion, is provided on the inner side of the sealing cover. The first and second adapter portions are located on the same plane after mating. Even if a product falls onto the limiting plate, when the sealing cover is closed, the second adapter portion, which mates with the first adapter portion, presses the product on the first limiting portion into the electroplating tank, preventing the product from being clamped between the limiting plate and the sealing cover, thus ensuring the overall electroplating effect.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, including a mounting bracket 10, an electroplating tank 20, an electrode head 30, and a sealing cover 40.

[0026] The electroplating tank 20 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 10 under the drive of an external driving mechanism. The electroplating tank 20 has an electroplating tank 201 with an opening on one side. A sealing groove 202 is recessed inwards from the opening of the electroplating tank 201. A limiting plate 21 is formed at the bottom of the sealing groove 202. A wave-shaped first fitting part 22 is sequentially recessed inwards from the inner side wall of the limiting plate 21. In this embodiment, the mounting frame 10 includes two mounting plates 11 arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, and reinforcing rods 12 connecting the two mounting plates 11. Multiple reinforcing rods 12 are spaced apart, and their arrangement strengthens the structural strength between the two mounting plates 11. The two ends of the electroplating tank 20 are rotatably mounted on the two mounting plates 11. A first transmission wheel 13 driven by an external driving mechanism is provided on the mounting plate 11. Second transmission wheels 23 that cooperate with the first transmission wheels 13 are provided at both ends of the electroplating tank 20. Furthermore, both the first transmission wheel 13 and the second transmission wheel 23 are gears. The side wall of the electroplating tank 20 is provided with a first water passage hole (not shown in the figure) that connects to the electroplating tank 201. The first water passage hole facilitates the entry and exit of external electrolyte. The outer side wall of the electroplating tank 20 is provided with two reinforcing ribs 24 arranged in a ring. The two reinforcing ribs 24 are arranged laterally at intervals to increase the structural strength of the electroplating tank 20.

[0027] There are two electrode heads 30. One end of each electrode head 30 is set on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the electroplating tank 201, and the other end of each electrode head 30 extends into the electroplating tank 201 and moves in the electroplating tank 201 as the electroplating box 20 rotates. The rotation process of the electrode heads 30 further ensures the electroplating effect.

[0028] The sealing cap 40 is mounted on the electroplating tank 20 and covers the opening of the electroplating tank 201. The inner side of the sealing cap 40 is recessed and has a second adapter 41 that mates with the first adapter 22. The first adapter 21 and the second adapter 41 are located on the same plane after mating. In this embodiment, the side wall of the sealing cap 40 has a second water passage hole (not shown in the figure) penetrating the upper and lower end faces of the sealing cap. The second water passage hole is provided to increase the efficiency of electrolyte inflow and outflow.

[0029] The key design feature of this invention is that a wave-shaped first adapter portion is sequentially recessed inward on the inner side wall of the limiting plate. When a product falls onto the limiting plate during loading, the recessed first adapter portion reduces the contact area between the limiting plate and the product, causing the product on the limiting plate to fall into the electroplating tank. A second adapter portion, which mates with the first adapter portion, is recessed inward on the inner side of the sealing cover. The first and second adapter portions are located on the same plane after mating. Even if a product falls onto the limiting plate, when the sealing cover is closed, the second adapter portion, which mates with the first adapter portion, presses the product on the first limiting portion into the electroplating tank, preventing the product from being clamped between the limiting plate and the sealing cover, thus ensuring the overall electroplating effect.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
