Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electroplating fixture technology, and more specifically, it relates to a multi-functional fixture for electroplating hardware products. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating fixtures are conductive carriers that connect power sources to hardware products. They physically fix parts into the electroplating solution while ensuring that current is evenly transmitted to the surface of the parts, forming a metal coating with consistent thickness and good adhesion. Hardware product electroplating fixtures are special tools used in the electroplating process to fix, suspend, or support hardware products. Their core function is to ensure uniform current distribution and stable coating quality during the electroplating process, and to improve production efficiency.

[0003] In the prior art, patent authorization announcement number "CN210657198U" discloses a "multi-functional fixture for electroplating of hardware products"; it includes a chassis, a column, a clamping plate, a hydraulic cylinder, a first fixed plate, and a rotating seat. The column is fixed on the upper surface of the chassis, and the clamping plate is equidistantly connected to the outer side of the chassis via hinges. The hydraulic cylinder is equidistantly connected to the middle of the column via hinges. The output ends of the six hydraulic cylinders on the column are respectively rotatably connected to the six clamping plates on the chassis via hinges. The first fixed plate is fixed on the top of the column, and the rotating seat is fixed to the top of the first fixed plate via bolts. The rotating seat includes a second fixed plate, a rotating shaft, a third fixed plate, a gear ring, a servo motor, and a drive gear. The second fixed plate is fixed to the first fixed plate via bolts, and the rotating shaft is fixed to the top of the second fixed plate. The third fixed plate is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating shaft via a bearing. This multi-functional fixture for electroplating of hardware products has a rotation function, which improves work efficiency and makes electroplating more uniform, thus improving product quality.

[0004] However, the aforementioned technical solutions often rely on natural drying to remove excess liquid after electroplating of metal parts. Natural airflow is random, and the evaporation rate of moisture varies greatly across different parts of the metal product surface. Liquid tends to remain in recesses and crevices, making it difficult to drain quickly and affecting product quality. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-functional electroplating fixture for metal products to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multi-functional clamp for electroplating hardware products. This solves the problem mentioned in the background technology that while natural drying removes excess liquid, the random airflow of natural air causes significant differences in the evaporation rate of moisture on different parts of the hardware product surface. Liquid tends to remain in recesses, crevices, and other areas, making it difficult to drain the liquid quickly and affecting product quality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a multi-functional electroplating fixture for hardware products, specifically including a main connecting plate 1. A top motor 1201 is fixedly connected to one side of the main connecting plate 1. A main drive rod 1202 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the top motor 1201. An inner support rod 1203 is fixedly connected to one end of the main drive rod 1202. A fixed inner frame 1205 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner support rod 1203. A transmission motor 1206 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed inner frame 1205. A side transmission rod 1207 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the transmission motor 1206. A transmission disk 1208 is fixedly connected to one end of the side transmission rod 1207. A transmission fan blade 1209 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission disk 1208. In this embodiment, the rotating transmission fan blade 1209 generates airflow along one side of the fixed inner frame 1205, blowing away residual electroplating liquid from the fixture surface and simultaneously assisting in the drying of the electroplated hardware product.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a bearing disk 1204 is movably connected to one side of the inner support rod 1203, and a top connecting plate 2 is movably connected to one side of the bearing disk 1204. Through the movable connection of the bearing disk 1204, the inner support rod 1203 maintains free and stable rotation along the top of the top connecting plate 2. A bottom motor 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top connecting plate 2, and a bottom drive rod 4 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the bottom motor 3. A main thread rod 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom drive rod 4. The bottom drive rod 4 is driven to rotate by the bottom motor 3, and the rotating bottom drive rod 4 drives the main thread rod 5 to rotate. Through the meshing of the main thread rod 5 with the transmission gear 9, the rotation of the main thread rod 5 drives multiple transmission gear 9 to rotate.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a side drive rod 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the top connecting plate 2, a connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the side drive rod 6, a limiting frame 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 7, a clamping frame 10 is movably connected to one side of the limiting frame 8, and a transmission gear plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the clamping frame 10. In this embodiment, through the meshing of the main thread rod 5 and the transmission gear plate 9, the main thread rod 5 rotates, driving multiple transmission gear plates 9 to rotate. During the rotation of the multiple transmission gear plates 9, the clamping frame 10 rotates along the inner side of the limiting frame 8.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, there are multiple clamping frames 10, and a clamping plate 11 is fixedly connected to one side of each clamping frame 10. By driving the clamping frame 10 to snap inward, the clamping plate 11 on one side of the clamping frame 10 is used to clamp the hardware parts, improving the stability of the hardware parts clamping. A side extension rod 1301 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner support rod 1203, a side bow-shaped frame 1302 is fixedly connected to one side of the side extension rod 1301, and a bottom stirring plate 1303 is fixedly connected to one side of the side bow-shaped frame 1302. When the side extension rod 1301 moves, it will drive the side bow-shaped frame 1302 to stir. The bow-shaped side bow-shaped frame 1302 increases the contact area with the electroplating solution, and the bottom stirring plate 1303 in a vertical state increases the stability of the electroplating solution during stirring, reduces the impact on the electroplating solution, and improves the uniformity of the electroplating quality.

[0028] The specific usage and function of this embodiment: During the daily operation of this multi-functional electroplating fixture for hardware products, the bottom drive rod 4 is first started by the bottom motor 3 to rotate. The rotating bottom drive rod 4 will drive the main thread rod 5 to rotate. Through the meshing of the main thread rod 5 and the transmission gear plate 9, the rotation of the main thread rod 5 will drive multiple transmission gear plates 9 to rotate. During the rotation of multiple transmission gear plates 9, the clamping frame 10 will rotate along the inner side of the limit frame 8. By driving the clamping frame 10 to buckle inward, the clamping plate 11 on one side of the clamping frame 10 will clamp the hardware parts, thereby improving the stability of the hardware parts clamping.

[0029] After clamping the hardware, the top motor 1201 is started, which drives the inner support rod 1203 to rotate. The rotating inner support rod 1203 drives the side extension rod 1301 to rotate. The continuously rotating side extension rod 1301 rotates along the electroplating solution. The rotating side extension rod 1301 moves in a circular motion along the outside of the clamping frame 10, which improves the fluidity of the electroplating solution. At the same time, the movement of the side extension rod 1301 drives the side bow-shaped frame 1302 to stir. The bow-shaped side bow-shaped frame 1302 increases the contact area with the electroplating solution. The vertical bottom stirring plate 1303 increases the stability of the electroplating solution during stirring, reduces the impact on the electroplating solution, and improves the uniformity of the electroplating quality.

[0030] After stirring, electroplating is performed. After electroplating, the main connecting plate 1 is lifted by an external lifting device. Then, the drive motor 1206 drives the side drive rod 1207 to rotate. The rotating side drive rod 1207 drives the drive disk 1208 to rotate. The rotating drive disk 1208 is tilted and continuously drives the drive fan blade 1209 to rotate. The rotating drive fan blade 1209 generates airflow along one side of the fixed inner frame 1205 and blows it onto the surface of the clamping frame 10, blowing away the electroplating liquid remaining on the surface of the clamp. At the same time, it assists in drying the electroplated hardware products, improving the drying efficiency. The rotating inner support rod 1203 drives the fixed inner frame 1205 to rotate. The rotating fixed inner frame 1205 drives the drive motor 1206 to move in a circle along the outside of the clamping frame 10 and blows air onto the various surfaces of the clamp and hardware parts, reducing the dead airflow angles generated during the auxiliary drying and blowing away of the electroplating liquid, and improving the auxiliary drying effect.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
