Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to an electroplating rack mechanism for an electroplating device. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is a process that uses electrolysis to coat the surface of metal or other materials with a layer of metal film. This film serves to prevent metal oxidation (such as rust), improve wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (such as copper sulfate), and enhance aesthetics. The electroplating rack in an electroplating setup is a hanger or clamp used to hold the workpiece to be plated.

[0003] The existing electroplating racks can hold a small number of workpieces, meaning that the number of workpieces processed at one time is small, requiring frequent loading and unloading, which results in a long overall production cycle. At the same time, operators need to repeatedly perform operations such as hanging and picking up workpieces, which increases labor input exponentially, resulting in a large workload and high costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electroplating rack mechanism for an electroplating device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An electroplating rack mechanism for an electroplating apparatus includes a first support member, a second support member, and a plurality of support columns, wherein the support columns are disposed between the first support member and the second support member and are used to connect the first support member and the second support member;

[0007] It also includes multiple connecting shafts, which are disposed between the first support member and the second support member. Each connecting shaft is provided with a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate. The first mounting plate is provided with multiple first mounting holes, and the second mounting plate is provided with multiple second mounting holes. The positions of the second mounting holes correspond to the positions of the first mounting holes.

[0008] It also includes multiple brackets, which are detachably connected to the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, with both ends located in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, respectively. The brackets are provided with multiple inserts.

[0009] Furthermore, based on the above solution, the first mounting hole is an octagonal star hole, and a base is provided below the first mounting hole, the base being mounted on the first mounting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, based on the above solution, the first mounting hole is an octagonal star hole and does not penetrate the first mounting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, based on the above solution, the second mounting hole is a circular hole that penetrates the second mounting plate, and the diameter of the second mounting hole is greater than the length of the diagonal of the bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, based on the above scheme, the outer wall of the first support member is provided with multiple tooth-like structures.

[0013] Furthermore, based on the above scheme, the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the first support member and the second support member, and its two ends extend from the first support member and the second support member respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, based on the above scheme, a gear is provided at one end of the connecting shaft.

[0015] Furthermore, based on the above scheme, both the first support member and the second support member are circular rings.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This utility model includes a first support member, a second support member, multiple support columns, multiple connecting shafts, and multiple brackets. The connecting shafts are provided with a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate.

[0027] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0028] The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this application should be understood in their ordinary sense by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an electroplating rack mechanism of an electroplating apparatus includes a first support member 1, a second support member 2, and two support columns 3. The two support columns 3 are symmetrically fixed between the first support member 1 and the second support member 2 for connecting the first support member 1 and the second support member 2. It also includes six connecting shafts 4, which are rotatably disposed between the first support member 1 and the second support member 2. A first mounting plate 5 and a second mounting plate 6 are fixedly mounted on the connecting shafts 4. It also includes multiple brackets 9, which are detachably connected to the first mounting plate 5 and the second mounting plate 6. Multiple insertion posts 10 are fixedly mounted on the brackets 9, and each insertion post 10 can fix a workpiece.

[0030] Based on the above technical means, multiple brackets 9 can be installed on one connecting shaft 4 through the first mounting plate 5 and the second mounting plate 6, and multiple workpieces can be fixed on one bracket 9. Therefore, a large number of workpieces can be fixed on six connecting shafts 4, shortening the production cycle.

[0031] Specifically, the first mounting plate 5 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 7, and the second mounting plate 6 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 8, the second mounting holes 8 being positioned corresponding to the first mounting holes 7; the two ends of the bracket 9 are respectively located in the first mounting holes 7 and the second mounting holes 8, that is, the two ends of the bracket 9 are positioned through the first mounting holes 7 and the second mounting holes 8.

[0032] Specifically, the bracket 9 is a square tube with a square cross-sectional area; the first mounting hole 7 is an octagonal star hole, which is obtained by rotating one of the squares by 45°. The octagonal star hole makes it easier for workers to install the bracket 9, and workers can insert the bracket 9 from multiple directions. Compared with the traditional square hole, the octagonal star hole is more convenient for the installation of the bracket 9; the second mounting hole 8 is a circular hole that passes through the second mounting plate 6. The diameter of the second mounting hole 8 is slightly larger than the length of the diagonal of the bracket 9, which makes it convenient for one end of the bracket 9 to be inserted into the second mounting plate 6 first, which facilitates the subsequent adjustment and installation of the bracket 9.

[0033] This application provides two support methods for the bracket 9, one of which is detailed in the following reference. Figure 5 A base support 11 is provided below the first mounting hole 7. The base support 11 is fixedly installed on the first mounting plate 5, thus supporting the bracket 9 and preventing it from falling out of the first mounting hole 7. Secondly, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 5 The bracket 9 does not penetrate the first mounting plate 5 through the first mounting hole 7, which also prevents the bracket 9 from falling out of the first mounting hole 7.

[0034] Specifically, the outer wall of the first support member 1 is provided with multiple tooth-like structures 12, that is, the first support member 1 is actually a toothed ring, which can be used in conjunction with the gear transmission mechanism to drive it to rotate, thereby electroplating the workpiece on the bracket 9.

[0035] Specifically, the connecting shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the first support member 1 and the second support member 2, and its two ends extend from the first support member 1 and the second support member 2 respectively. The bottom end of the connecting shaft 4 is fixedly provided with a gear 13, which can be used in conjunction with a gear transmission mechanism to drive it to rotate, thereby electroplating the workpiece on the bracket 9.

[0036] In summary, during the electroplating process, the electroplating rack rotates as a whole, which can be understood as revolution, and the connecting shaft 4 also rotates, which can be understood as rotation. That is, the workpiece not only revolves but also rotates during electroplating, which can ensure the electroplating quality of the workpiece.

[0037] Specifically, both the first support member 1 and the second support member 2 are circular.

[0038] An electroplating rack mechanism of an electroplating apparatus, the working principle of which is explained with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0039] First, insert the workpiece to be processed onto all the brackets 9. Then, tilt the bracket 9 so that its upper end enters the second mounting hole 8 first, and push it upward so that the lower end of the bracket 9 is directly above the first mounting hole 7. Rotate the bracket 9 so that the bracket 9 is aligned with any one of the squares in the first mounting hole 7. Put down the bracket 9 to complete the installation of the bracket 9. Install the remaining brackets 9 in the same way. In this way, the electroplating device can electroplat a large number of workpieces at the same time, which improves work efficiency.

[0040] It should be noted that the specific connection methods of each component of this utility model adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
