Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for electroplated parts in electroplating processing. Background Technology
[0002] Electroplating is widely used in the automotive, electronics, and machinery industries, improving the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and appearance quality of workpieces. However, contaminants and residues generated during the electroplating process can affect the quality of electroplated parts, making cleaning a crucial step in the electroplating process. The main goal of cleaning electroplated parts is to remove electroplating solutions, oil, and impurities to ensure uniform adhesion and excellent performance of the electroplated layer. Common cleaning methods include mechanical cleaning (such as brushing machines and ultrasonic cleaners), chemical cleaning (using specialized cleaning agents), water washing and solvent washing, as well as ion exchange and electrolytic cleaning. With the development of electroplating technology, cleaning equipment faces challenges such as improving cleaning efficiency, reducing environmental pollution, and adapting to complex workpiece shapes. In the future, electroplating cleaning equipment will develop towards high efficiency, environmental protection, and intelligence, achieving more efficient and environmentally friendly cleaning processes and reducing production costs by introducing automated control and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN222739808U) that discloses a cleaning device for electroplated parts, comprising: a support platform with a mounting frame fixedly connected to its top surface; a positioning mechanism on which the electroplated part is detachably connected; a cleaning mechanism including a support frame fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame, a connecting pipe vertically rotatably connected to the support frame, the bottom end of the connecting pipe passing through the mounting frame and detachably connected to a U-shaped rinsing pipe, the U-shaped rinsing pipe corresponding to the top of the positioning mechanism, several diversion pipes fixedly connected to the U-shaped rinsing pipe, rinsing nozzles installed on the diversion pipes, a water inlet pipe rotatably connected to the top of the connecting pipe, an electromagnetic switch valve and a pressure boosting valve installed on the water inlet pipe, the pressure boosting valve positioned between the electromagnetic switch valve and the pressure boosting valve; and a rotary drive mechanism; wherein a wastewater tank is placed below the support platform. This invention achieves rapid rinsing through a combination of high flow rate and high rotation speed, improving the cleaning efficiency and time of the electroplated parts.
[0004] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned solutions require manual loading and unloading of the electroplated parts, and the efficiency of loading and unloading depends heavily on manual labor. Fluctuations in manual operation efficiency can easily lead to bottlenecks in the production line, affecting cleaning efficiency. Secondly, manual operation is prone to errors; improper placement or handling can result in incomplete cleaning or damage to the electroplated parts, thus affecting product quality. Furthermore, prolonged operation increases labor intensity, easily leading to fatigue and operational errors, and even posing safety hazards, especially when handling chemicals and high-temperature equipment. Manual operation also increases labor costs and cannot guarantee cleaning consistency, affecting production stability and quality consistency. In large-scale production, manual operation struggles to meet the demands of high efficiency and large volumes, limiting the improvement of production capacity. Therefore, relying on manual loading and unloading not only reduces production efficiency but also increases costs and safety risks, failing to meet the requirements of modern automated production.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a cleaning device for electroplated parts during electroplating. Utility Model Content

This ensures that the cleaning solution evenly contacts all surfaces of the electroplated parts, improving the cleaning effect and thoroughness. Simultaneously, rotation helps remove stubborn stains, especially contaminants in hard-to-reach corners and crevices, preventing accumulation or jamming of the electroplated parts and ensuring a smooth cleaning process.
