Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating water washing tanks, specifically to a horizontal electroplating water washing tank with a circulating structure. Background Technology

[0002] Composite current collectors, as key materials for lithium batteries, often employ a "metal-polymer-metal" structure. This is achieved by magnetron sputtering a metal transition layer onto the polymer surface followed by electroplating to thicken the metal layer. After electroplating, a large amount of plating solution and sediment adheres to the surface of the composite current collector. Since the plating solution itself is usually corrosive, it affects the product's appearance and protective performance. Therefore, a water washing tank is used to clean the plated film after electroplating.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN220265925U, which discloses an electroplating washing tank. The tank includes a tank box with bases fixedly mounted on both sides of its lower end face. A liquid outlet pipe is fixedly mounted at the midpoint of the lower end of the front end face of the tank box. A cavity is formed on the upper end face of the tank box, and sliding grooves are fixedly mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the cavity at their midpoints. An outer column is fixedly mounted at the midpoint of the bottom end face inside the cavity. In this utility model, a plating plate mechanism with mesh is used to place the workpiece to be electroplated. Driven by a lifting mechanism, the plating plate mechanism can move up and down within the tank box to adjust its height, thus accommodating electroplating workpieces of different thicknesses. The threaded rotation of the lifting mechanism makes the plating device easy to adjust, facilitating handling and filtering electroplating impurities through the mesh during handling, making it more convenient to use.

[0004] The existing water washing tank directly washes the composite data collector. During the washing process, the sediment on the surface of the composite data collector falls directly to the bottom of the tank with the water flow, resulting in serious accumulation at the bottom of the tank. This requires frequent drainage and washing, which affects work efficiency and also causes a lot of water waste.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a horizontal plating washing tank with a circulating structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a horizontal plating washing tank with a circulating structure. Through the continuous movement of the conveyor belt, the sediment is continuously collected and filtered, thereby avoiding excessive accumulation that affects the cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, continuous circulating filtration can effectively reduce resource waste, thus solving the problems of low efficiency and serious resource waste in the existing electroplating cleaning process.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a horizontal plating washing tank with a circulation structure, including a cleaning tank, a circulation tank being connected through the bottom of the cleaning tank, and guide rollers being symmetrically installed above the cleaning tank;

[0008] The cleaning assembly installed inside the cleaning tank includes a conveyor roller shaft, which is symmetrically rotatably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the cleaning tank.

[0009] The circulating filtration assembly located outside the cleaning tank includes a cleaning fluid filter. The cleaning fluid filter is installed outside the cleaning tank, with its output end connected to the cleaning tank pipeline and its input end connected to the circulating tank pipeline.

[0010] The drive assembly installed inside the cleaning tank includes a cleaning cotton roller shaft, which is symmetrically connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank. Gears are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the cleaning tank, and two sets of gears mesh with each other and are shaft-connected to the corresponding cleaning cotton roller shafts.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning assembly further includes an auxiliary roller shaft, which is rotatably connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and a discharge port is provided on the upper side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing frame is symmetrically installed on one side of the cleaning tank, and the fixing frame is located at the edge of the discharge port. The two sets of fixing frames are symmetrically rotatably connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the cleaning tank by two conveying roller shafts.

[0013] Preferably, an auxiliary roller shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge port, and a slag collection frame is installed on the outside of the washing box, with the slag collection frame located below the discharge port.

[0014] Preferably, the two sets of conveyor roller shaft one and the two sets of conveyor roller shaft two are connected to the auxiliary roller shaft one and the auxiliary roller shaft two by a conveyor belt.

[0015] Preferably, the circulating filter assembly further includes trapezoidal grooves, which are sequentially formed on the surface of the conveyor belt, and each set of trapezoidal grooves has through holes.

[0016] Preferably, a guide frame is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and the guide frame is in close contact with the top cover of the conveyor belt.

[0017] Preferably, an activated carbon filter is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and the activated carbon filter is located between the conveyor belts. Multiple sets of high-pressure air nozzles are installed sequentially between the two sets of fixed frames, and the high-pressure air nozzles are located between the conveyor belts. The high-pressure air nozzles and the slag collection frame are at the same vertical and horizontal position.

[0018] Preferably, the drive assembly further includes a motor, which is mounted on the outside of the cleaning tank and the motor output is connected to a set of cleaning cotton roller shafts.

[0019] Preferably, a belt drive structure is installed between another set of cleaning cotton roller shafts and a set of conveying roller shafts. The belt drive structure includes two sets of pulleys and a belt. The two sets of pulleys are respectively shaft-connected to the conveying roller shaft and the cleaning cotton roller shaft. A belt is installed between the two sets of pulleys. A second belt drive structure is installed between the two sets of conveying roller shafts. The connection structure of the second belt drive structure is the same as that of the first belt drive structure.

[0020] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0021] The continuous conveyor belt transports sediment through its surface perforations and trapezoidal grooves, allowing for continuous collection. As the conveyor continues, high-pressure air nozzles collect the sediment into a collection frame. During this process, the cleaning fluid filter continuously circulates and filters the cleaning fluid. This structure ensures continuous filtration of the cleaning fluid and prevents sediment from settling at the bottom of the cleaning tank, avoiding the need for frequent emptying and re-cleaning. Sediment is continuously transported and discharged, ensuring uninterrupted collection through the perforations. The high-pressure air nozzles not only effectively remove and collect sediment but also prevent clogging of the perforations, which could affect subsequent filtration, thus avoiding resource waste and significantly improving cleaning efficiency.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The horizontal plating washing tank with a circulation structure shown includes a cleaning tank 001, a circulation tank 101 connected through the bottom of the cleaning tank 001, and guide rollers 102 symmetrically installed above the cleaning tank 001.

[0031] The composite current collector can be conveyed into the cleaning tank 001 via the guide roller shaft 102.

[0032] The cleaning assembly 002 installed in the cleaning tank 001 includes a conveyor roller shaft 201, which is symmetrically rotatably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 001.

[0033] By setting up two sets of conveyor rollers 201, the conveyor belt 208 can be laid flat at the bottom of the cleaning tank 001, so that the conveyor belt 208 can collect and carry the sediment.

[0034] The circulating filter assembly 003 located outside the cleaning tank 001 includes a cleaning fluid filter 305. The cleaning fluid filter 305 is installed outside the cleaning tank 001. The output end of the cleaning fluid filter 305 is connected to the pipeline of the cleaning tank 001, and the input end of the cleaning fluid filter 305 is connected to the pipeline of the circulating tank 101.

[0035] The cleaning fluid inside the cleaning tank 001 can be circulated and filtered through the cleaning fluid filter 305.

[0036] The drive assembly 004 located inside the cleaning tank 001 includes a cleaning cotton roller shaft 401. The cleaning cotton roller shaft 401 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 001. Gears 403 are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the cleaning tank 001, and two sets of gears 403 mesh with each other and are shaft-connected to the corresponding cleaning cotton roller shaft 401.

[0037] The gear 403 enables the two sets of cleaning cotton rollers 401 to rotate relative to each other, thereby achieving cleaning of both sides of the composite collector.

[0038] Furthermore, in the above structure, the cleaning component 002 also includes an auxiliary roller shaft 202, which is rotatably connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 001, and a discharge port 203 is provided on the upper side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 001.

[0039] The sediment can be transported to the outside of the cleaning tank 001 through the discharge port 203.

[0040] Furthermore, in the above structure, a fixing frame 204 is symmetrically installed on one side of the cleaning tank 001, and the fixing frame 204 is located at the edge of the discharge port 203. The two sets of fixing frames 204 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 001 by a second conveying roller shaft 205.

[0041] The conveyor belt 208 can be conveyed to the outside of the cleaning box 001 along the discharge port 203 by two sets of conveyor rollers 201, auxiliary rollers 202 and conveyor rollers 205.

[0042] Furthermore, in the above structure, an auxiliary roller shaft 206 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge port 203, and a slag collection frame 207 is installed on the outside of the washing box 001, with the slag collection frame 207 located below the discharge port 203.

[0043] The sediment carried away by the conveyor belt 208 can be collected through the slag collection frame 207.

[0044] Furthermore, in the above structure, a conveyor belt 208 is attached between the two sets of conveyor roller shafts 201 and 205 and the auxiliary roller shafts 202 and 206.

[0045] By cooperating with two sets of conveyor roller shaft 1 201 and two sets of conveyor roller shaft 205, and auxiliary roller shaft 1 202 and auxiliary roller shaft 206, the conveyor belt 208 can be driven, thereby allowing the sediment deposited on the conveyor belt 208 to be carried away from the interior of the cleaning box 001.

[0046] Furthermore, in the above structure, the circulating filter assembly 003 also includes trapezoidal grooves 301, which are sequentially opened on the surface of the conveyor belt 208, and each set of trapezoidal grooves 301 is provided with through holes 302.

[0047] The trapezoidal trough 301 prevents the sediment from falling back down as the conveyor belt 208 moves upward carrying the sediment, and the through hole 302 effectively separates the sediment from the cleaning fluid, allowing the cleaning fluid to flow downward into the circulation tank 101, while the trapezoidal trough 301 effectively collects the sediment.

[0048] Furthermore, in the above structure, a guide frame 303 is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 001, and the guide frame 303 is covered and fitted above the conveyor belt 208.

[0049] The guide frame 303 can prevent sediment from falling into the circulation box 101 along the gap between the conveyor belt 208 and the cleaning box 001, thus effectively ensuring the collection of sediment.

[0050] Furthermore, in the above structure, an activated carbon filter 304 is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning box 001, and the activated carbon filter 304 is located between the conveyor belts 208. Multiple sets of high-pressure air nozzles 306 are installed sequentially between the two sets of fixed frames 204, and the high-pressure air nozzles 306 are located between the conveyor belts 208. The high-pressure air nozzles 306 and the slag collection frame 207 are at the same vertical and horizontal position.

[0051] The activated carbon filter 304 can adsorb and filter fine particles that cannot be filtered by the through hole 302, thereby reducing the cleaning load of the cleaning fluid filter 305 and preventing it from malfunctioning. The high-pressure air nozzle 306 can ensure that the deposits are effectively blown into the slag collection frame 207 and can effectively prevent the through hole 302 from becoming blocked.

[0052] Furthermore, in the above structure, the drive assembly 004 also includes a motor 402, which is mounted on the outside of the cleaning tank 001, and the output end of the motor 402 is connected to a set of cleaning cotton roller shafts 401.

[0053] The motor 402 can drive two sets of cleaning cotton rollers 401 to rotate, thereby cleaning the upper and lower surfaces of the composite current collector and conveying the composite current collector.

[0054] Furthermore, in the above structure, a belt drive structure 404 is installed between another set of cleaning cotton roller shafts 401 and a set of conveying roller shafts 201. The belt drive structure 404 includes two sets of pulleys and a belt. The two sets of pulleys are respectively shaft-connected to the conveying roller shaft 201 and the cleaning cotton roller shaft 401. A belt is installed between the two sets of pulleys. A second belt drive structure 405 is installed between the two sets of conveying roller shafts 201. The connection structure of the second belt drive structure 405 is the same as that of the first belt drive structure 404.

[0055] The continuous conveying of the conveyor belt 208 can be achieved through belt drive structure 1 404 and belt drive structure 2 405.

[0056] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:

[0057] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-4 By passing the composite current collector between a set of guide rollers 102 and two sets of cleaning cotton rollers 401, and then over the surface of another set of guide rollers 102, a portion of the composite current collector is immersed in the cleaning solution. At this point, the motor 402 can be started to clean impurities from the surface of the composite current collector. Simultaneously, the cleaned impurities will settle downwards with the cleaning solution and, with the assistance of the guide frame 303, fall onto the conveyor belt 208. The cleaning solution can then be continuously transported downwards through the through-holes 302 into the circulation tank 101. During this process, the activated carbon filter 304 performs the first adsorption filtration of the cleaning solution, while the precipitate is filtered by the through-holes 302. The conveyor belt 208 moves and transports the precipitate under the action of the two sets of conveyor rollers 201, allowing the precipitate to be further processed. The sediment is effectively moved to the sludge collection frame 207, and finally falls into the sludge collection frame 207 through the high-pressure air nozzle 306. At the same time, the cleaning fluid filter 305 draws the cleaning fluid from the circulation tank 101, filters it, and then sends it back to the cleaning tank 001, thus completing the entire circulation filtration. This structure can achieve continuous filtration of the cleaning fluid and prevent sediment from settling at the bottom of the cleaning tank 001, thereby avoiding the need for frequent water drainage and re-cleaning. The sediment can be continuously transported and discharged, allowing the subsequent through holes 302 to collect it uninterruptedly. The high-pressure air nozzle 306 can not only effectively remove and collect sediment, but also prevent the through holes 302 from becoming blocked, affecting subsequent filtration, thus avoiding resource waste and greatly improving cleaning efficiency.

[0058] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
