Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electroplating processing technology, and in particular to a hanger structure. Background Technology
[0002] Electroplating is a common modern surface treatment method. The substrate to be electroplated is placed in an electroplating tank containing a chemical electroplating solution, and an electroplating layer is formed on the product surface using the principle of electrolysis. This prevents metal oxidation (such as rust). Products treated with electroplating have a superior metallic texture and good wear resistance. During electroplating, the product is typically mounted on an electroplating rack and then placed in the electroplating solution for electroplating.
[0003] However, existing hanging racks are difficult to adapt to products of different lengths, which means that each specification of product needs to be processed with a corresponding hanging rack, increasing costs and limiting the scope of application. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a mounting structure to solve the problem that current mounting structures are difficult to fix substrate products of different lengths.
[0005] A hanging bracket structure, comprising:
[0006] Steel rim;
[0007] A hanging bracket assembly is provided on the steel ring, and the hanging bracket assembly includes a hook that can hold substrates of different lengths.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, this design makes the bracket structure highly versatile, capable of adapting to various substrates of different specifications, eliminating the need to design different brackets for substrates of different lengths, reducing costs and improving equipment utilization efficiency.
[0009] In one embodiment, the hanger assembly further includes a hanger and a mounting platform. The hanger is disposed on the steel ring, and the mounting platform is disposed on the hanger. The mounting platform has a plurality of hanging slots extending in a vertical direction and the hanging slots are spaced apart in a horizontal direction. The hook is disposed in the hanging slot and its lower end hangs on the substrate.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, hooks can be placed in different hanging slots to fix substrates of different lengths. Moreover, the hooks are abutted and fixed by the hanging platform and the hanging frame, which can prevent the substrate from tilting due to uneven force when fixing long substrates, ensuring the stability of the substrate on the hanging frame and facilitating the smooth progress of subsequent processing or handling processes.
[0011] In one embodiment, the bracket has a through hole that extends horizontally, and the mounting platform is disposed in the through hole and is movable horizontally through the through hole.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the position adjustment range of the hook is further expanded, enabling the rack structure to better adapt to substrates of different sizes and shapes, improving the rack's adaptability to substrates, and enhancing the flexibility and practicality of the entire rack structure.
[0013] In one embodiment, the steel ring is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, which are spaced apart in the horizontal and vertical directions, and the bracket is provided with a plurality of corresponding positioning holes spaced apart in the horizontal direction.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, and by installing the bracket on different positioning holes, substrates of different heights can be fixed, ensuring that substrates of different heights can be immersed in the electroplating solution, thus meeting the electroplating requirements of substrates of different heights and expanding the application range of the bracket structure.
[0015] In one embodiment, the hanger assembly further includes a fixing member that is detachably connected to the steel ring, the hanger being disposed on the fixing member, and the upper end of the hanger having an abutment portion that abuts against the fixing member.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the fastener is fixed to the steel ring, and the abutting part of the bracket abuts against the fastener and is thus fixed, which can keep the bracket in a horizontal position, reduce the distance required for the bracket to descend to the electrolyte, and avoid unnecessary movement caused by the bracket tilting, thereby improving work efficiency and shortening the processing cycle.
[0017] In one embodiment, the bracket structure further includes movable members disposed at both ends of the steel ring in the vertical direction, the movable members being capable of driving the steel ring to move in the vertical direction.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the bracket structure is equipped with movable components located at both ends of the steel ring in the vertical direction, which can drive the steel ring to move in the vertical direction. This allows the steel ring, carrying the bracket and the substrate, to be smoothly inserted into the electrolyte, realizing automated immersion of the substrate, reducing manual intervention, and improving the accuracy and stability of the operation.
[0019] In one embodiment, the movable element includes pulleys, and two pulleys are provided at both ends of the steel ring in the vertical direction.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the steel ring can be pushed by the conveyor belt to move horizontally, and the pulley can limit the movement trajectory of the steel ring, so that it slides smoothly and avoids shaking or deviation of the steel ring during movement. This ensures the stability of the bracket and the base plate during movement and helps to improve the processing quality.
[0021] In one embodiment, the movable component further includes a movable rod, a movable plate, and a fixed plate. There are two movable rods, and the movable plate is disposed between the steel ring and the fixed plate. The movable rod passes through the movable plate and corresponds to the pulleys one by one.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, this structural design enables the various components to work together, ensuring the stability and synchronization of the steel ring during movement and improving the motion accuracy of the entire hanger structure.
[0023] In one embodiment, the fixing plate is provided with two movable holes that extend vertically, and the movable rod passes through the movable holes and can move vertically.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when one moving rod moves vertically along the moving hole, the moving plate can drive another moving rod to move simultaneously, ensuring that the steel ring is always abutted by the two pulleys, preventing the steel ring from tilting, and further improving the stability and levelness of the steel ring during vertical movement, ensuring that the substrate can be accurately immersed in the electrolyte.
[0025] In one embodiment, the bracket is further provided with a rotating member, which is located at the upper end of the through hole and can drive the substrate to rotate.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, after the substrate is immersed in the electrolyte, the electrolyte adhering to it can be dried by rotating the substrate, avoiding direct dripping of the electrolyte and causing environmental pollution. At the same time, drying the electrolyte also facilitates subsequent process operations, improving the environmental friendliness of production and the continuity of the process.
[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one beneficial effect:
[0028] 1. The hooks can be placed in different hanging slots to fix substrates of different lengths. Moreover, the hooks are abutted and fixed by the hanging platform and the hanging frame. When fixing long substrates, it can prevent the substrate from sliding down due to uneven force and tilting, thus ensuring the stability of the substrate on the hanging frame and facilitating the smooth progress of subsequent processing or handling processes.
[0029] 2. By installing the bracket on different positioning holes, substrates of different heights can be fixed, ensuring that substrates of different heights can be immersed in the electroplating solution, thus meeting the electroplating requirements of substrates of different heights and expanding the application range of the bracket structure.
[0030] 3. The hanger structure is equipped with movable components located at both ends of the steel ring in the vertical direction, enabling the steel ring to move vertically. This allows the steel ring, carrying the hanger and substrate, to be smoothly inserted into the electrolyte, achieving automated substrate immersion, reducing manual intervention, and improving the accuracy and stability of the operation.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 The mounting structure provided in this application will be described in further detail.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] Please see Figure 1-3 This application provides a hanging bracket structure 1, including a steel ring 11 and a hanging bracket assembly 12.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the hanger assembly 12 is mounted on the steel ring 11 and includes a hook 121, which can hold substrates 14 of different lengths. Specifically, the steel ring 11 can be made of high-strength stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity. The hook 121 can be made of metal, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which has high strength and toughness. The design of the lower end of the hook 121 can be varied, for example, it can be hook-shaped or U-shaped, to accommodate different types of substrates 14. The substrate 14 can be provided with hanging holes, and the hook 121 passes through the hanging holes to fix the substrate 14.
[0039] The mounting bracket assembly 12 also includes a bracket 122 and a mounting platform 123. The bracket 122 is mounted on the steel ring 11, and the mounting platform 123 is mounted on the bracket 122 and has multiple vertically extending hanging grooves 1231. The hanging grooves 1231 are spaced apart horizontally, and hooks 121 are located within the hanging grooves 1231 with their lower ends hooking onto the substrate 14. Specifically, both the bracket 122 and the mounting platform 123 can be made of plastic or lightweight alloy materials, which have good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The multiple hanging grooves 1231 on the mounting platform 123 can have different spacing to accommodate substrates 14 of different lengths; the hanging grooves 1231 face the bracket 122, so that the hooks 121 are abutted by the bracket 122 and the mounting platform 123, making them difficult to loosen or fall off. The hanger 122 is provided with at least one mounting platform 123 and two hooks 121. The two hooks 121 are respectively located on the two hanging slots 1231 of the mounting platform 123, which facilitates fixing the two ends of the substrate 14 and prevents the substrate 14 from tilting. A rubber sleeve can be provided on the upper end of the hook 121 to increase friction and prevent the substrate 14 from slipping. In addition, scale marks can be provided on the hook 121 to help operators quickly find the appropriate position of the hanging slot 1231.
[0040] The hanger 122 has a through hole 1221 extending horizontally. A mounting platform 123 is disposed within the through hole 1221 and can move horizontally within it. Specifically, the through hole 1221 can be designed as a rectangle to allow the mounting platform 123 to slide freely within it. A ball bearing or slider can be installed between the mounting platform 123 and the through hole 1221 to reduce frictional resistance and improve smooth movement. Furthermore, limiting baffles can be installed on both sides of the through hole 1221 to prevent the mounting platform 123 from accidentally falling off. A scale and pointer can also be installed on the hanger 122 to indicate the current position of the mounting platform 123. In this embodiment, the hanger 122 is provided with two hanging platforms 123, which are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. Each hanging platform 123 is provided with a hook 121. Bolts are passed through the hanging platform 123 and the through hole 1221 for fixation. By loosening the bolts, the two hanging platforms 123 can be moved on the through hole 1221, thereby controlling the distance between the two hooks 121, which makes it easy to hang substrates 14 of different lengths, while keeping the substrates 14 horizontal.
[0041] The steel ring 11 has multiple positioning holes 111, which are spaced apart horizontally and vertically. The bracket 122 has multiple positioning holes 111, spaced apart horizontally. Specifically, the positioning holes 111 can be arranged in a rectangular array, and the spacing between each row and column can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number and layout of the positioning holes 111 should comprehensively consider the size and weight of the substrate 14 to ensure the reasonable distribution and support capacity of the bracket 122. The positioning holes 111 can be round or square, and their diameter or side length should be slightly larger than the mounting portion of the bracket 122 for easy installation and disassembly. The length of the through hole 1221 of each bracket 122 can be different, and the height between brackets 122 can also be different, facilitating the fixing of substrates 14 of different lengths and heights.
[0042] The bracket assembly 12 also includes a fixing member 124, which is detachably connected to the steel ring 11. A bracket 122 is mounted on the fixing member 124, and the upper end of the bracket 122 has an abutment portion 1222 that abuts against the fixing member 124. Specifically, the fixing member 124 can be a metal frame or a plastic shell, possessing sufficient strength and stability. The connection between the fixing member 124 and the steel ring 11 can be achieved using various methods such as bolts, clips, or magnetic attraction; the specific choice should be determined based on the actual working environment and ease of operation. The abutment portion 1222 can be a horizontally extending plane that abuts against the upper end of the fixing member 124, facilitating the positioning of the bracket 122 and securing it to the fixing member 124 while maintaining the bracket 122's horizontal position. The abutment portion 1222 can be made of metal with a polished surface to reduce the coefficient of friction and extend its service life.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the hanger structure 1 may further include movable members 13, which are located at both ends of the steel ring 11 in the vertical direction. The movable members 13 can drive the steel ring 11 to move in the vertical direction. Specifically, the movable members 13 may include pulleys 131, with two pulleys 131 respectively located at both ends of the steel ring 11 in the vertical direction. When the steel ring 11 is pushed by the conveyor belt to move horizontally, the pulleys 131 can restrict the steel ring 11, allowing it to slide smoothly. The pulleys 131 can be made of high-hardness material to reduce wear and increase service life.
[0044] The movable component 13 may further include a movable rod 132, a movable plate 133, and a fixed plate 134. Two movable rods 132 are provided, and the movable plate 133 is located between the steel ring 11 and the fixed plate 134. The movable rods 132 pass through the fixed plate 134 and the movable plate 133 and correspond to the pulley 131. Specifically, both movable rods 132 are fixed to one movable plate 133, and the two are connected by a thread, so that the movement of one movable rod 132 can drive the other movable rod 132 to move simultaneously. To control the pulley 131 to immerse the steel ring 11 downwards into the electrolyte, a manual knob or an electric motor can be provided on the movable rod 132. A manual knob is suitable for small equipment and is easy to operate; an electric motor is suitable for large equipment, has a high degree of automation, and is more convenient to operate. In this embodiment, the fixed plate 134 is provided with two movable holes 1341 extending vertically. One movable rod 132 passes through the movable hole 1341 and the movable plate 133 and can move vertically, thereby causing the movable plate 133 to move with the other movable rod 132. This ensures that the two movable rods 132 move simultaneously, allowing the steel ring 11 to descend smoothly horizontally without tilting, thus shortening the descent distance and improving efficiency. The movable component 13 may also include a fixed rod, which passes through another movable hole 1341 and is fixed to the movable plate 133. This fixed rod can also move within the movable hole 1341, thereby driving the movable plate 133 and the movable rod 132 to move.
[0045] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: By introducing the design of the hanging platform 123 and multiple hanging slots 1231, not only is the applicability and flexibility of the hook 121 enhanced, but the fixing accuracy and stability of the substrate 14 are also improved. This allows for a more even distribution of force points when processing long substrates 14, preventing the substrate 14 from tilting, thereby significantly improving processing quality and efficiency. Furthermore, the hanging platform 123 can move within the through hole 1221, enabling flexible adjustment of the hook 121 at different positions, facilitating the hook 121 to hold substrates 14 of different lengths.
[0046] By designing a layout with multiple positioning holes 111 and multiple hangers 122, effective support for substrates 14 of different heights is achieved. This not only expands the application range of the hangers 122, but also improves the immersion depth and uniformity of the substrates 14 during the electroplating process.
[0047] By introducing the fastener 124 and the abutment part 1222, the accurate positioning and fixation of the hanger 122 are achieved. This not only improves the stability of the hanger 122 during the electroplating process, but also simplifies the operation process and reduces human error.
[0048] By designing the moving component 13, controllable vertical movement of the steel ring 11 was achieved. This not only increased the entry and exit speed of the substrate 14 during the electroplating process, but also ensured the stability and consistency of the substrate 14 throughout the entire electroplating process.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the hanger 122 is further provided with a rotating member 1223, which is located at the upper end of the through hole 1221. The rotating member 1223 can drive the substrate 14 to rotate. In this embodiment, the rotating member 1223 can be a motor. In this case, the hanger 122 includes a fixed end 1224 and a rotating end 1225. The fixed end 1224 is connected to the abutment part 1222. The motor is located between the fixed end 1224 and the rotating end 1225. The through hole 1221 is located at the rotating end 1225. The rotation of the motor can drive the rotating end 1225 to rotate, thereby enabling the substrate 14 to rotate. To improve the operability of the rotating member 1223, a controller can be installed on the motor. The controller can receive external signals to achieve remote control. The controller can be a PLC or a microcontroller, which offers flexible programming and easy operation.
[0051] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: by designing the rotating component 1223, the substrate 14 can automatically rotate after electroplating to remove the electrolyte. This not only avoids contamination caused by electrolyte dripping but also improves the cleanliness of the substrate 14 and the efficiency of subsequent processes. The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
