Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating parts processing technology, specifically an automated transfer and mixing device for electroplated parts. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of another metal or alloy onto the surface of certain metals using the principle of electrolysis. It is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts, thereby preventing metal oxidation and improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, etc.

[0003] In the electroplating process, the concentration distribution of the electroplating solution within the electroplating tank has a significant impact on the conductivity, current distribution range, electrode performance, and the direction and speed of electrode movement. Without external force, uneven concentration distribution is highly likely to occur in the electroplating solution during operation. However, currently, electroplated parts remain stationary within the plating tank, leading to defects in the plating quality. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: See Figures 1-5In this embodiment of the present invention, an automated transfer and mixing device for electroplated parts includes a base 1, an electroplating tank 2 installed on the upper end of the base 1, the electroplating tank 2 being filled with a corresponding electroplating solution, fixed plates 6 symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end of the electroplating tank 2, a swing frame 8 rotatably installed between the fixed plates 6 via a swing arm 7, at least two drive boxes 10 fixedly installed on the swing frame 8 via symmetrically arranged L-shaped frames 9, a rotating cylinder 25 rotatably installed inside the drive box 10 via symmetrically arranged bearing frames 26, a rotating disk 24 fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating cylinder 25, at least three claws 27 hinged at the bottom edge of the rotating disk 24, a drive mechanism for driving multiple claws 27 to move synchronously on the drive box 10, a motor plate 4 installed on one side of the upper end of the electroplating tank 2, and a swing mechanism for driving the swing frame 8 to move on the motor plate 4.

[0027] The drive mechanism in this device includes a U-shaped frame 15 symmetrically fixed to the upper end of the drive box 10. A telescopic cylinder 16 is installed on the U-shaped frame 15. The telescopic cylinder 16 can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, so that it can quickly respond to the telescopic movement of the telescopic shaft 20. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 16 is connected to the telescopic shaft 20. An extension shaft 21 is installed at the bottom of the telescopic shaft 20. The bottom of the extension shaft 21 passes through the rotating disk 24 and is connected to the chuck 27 through a pushing assembly. The extension shaft 21 is located inside the rotating cylinder 25, and the movements of the two do not interfere with each other. The drive mechanism also includes a drive assembly.

[0028] The pushing assembly includes a telescopic disc 22 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the extension shaft 21, a connecting rod 23 hinged to the edge of the telescopic disc 22, and the end of the connecting rod 23 away from the telescopic disc 22 hinged to the inner side of the chuck 27.

[0029] In addition, the drive assembly includes a rotary motor 17 mounted on the upper bearing bracket 26, with a drive gear 18 fixed to the output end of the rotary motor 17, and a driven gear 19 fixed to the rotating cylinder 25 meshing on the outer side of the drive gear 18.

[0030] When it is necessary to clamp and fix the electroplating bucket containing the electroplated parts, the telescopic cylinder 16 needs to be activated. Then, with the cooperation of the telescopic shaft 20 and the extension shaft 21, the extension shaft 21 moves downward. Then, under the action of the connecting rod 23, the chuck 27 unfolds along the edge of the rotating disk 24, and finally clamps and limits the electroplating bucket internally. When it is necessary to rotate the electroplating bucket in the clamped state, the rotary motor 17 only needs to be activated. Then, with the meshing action of the drive gear 18 and the driven gear 19, the rotating cylinder 25 drives the entire rotating disk 24 to rotate. Finally, under the limiting action of the multiple chucks 27, the electroplating bucket rotates synchronously.

[0031] In addition, in order to further ensure the electroplating quality of the electroplated parts, the swing mechanism in this equipment includes a swing motor 5 mounted on the motor plate 4. The output end of the swing motor 5 is connected to an electric shaft 14. A swing arm 13 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the electric shaft 14. A swing rod 12 is hinged on the swing arm 13. A swing frame 11 is hinged on the swing rod 12. The other end of the swing frame 11 away from the swing rod 12 is hinged on the swing frame 8.

[0032] The swing motor 5 is used to rotate the swing arm 13. Then, under the action of the swing rod 12 and the swing frame 11, the swing frame 8 is made to swing back and forth periodically along the fixed plate 6 under the action of the swing arm 7. This disturbs the electroplating ions inside the electroplating tank 2, so that the electroplating ions can be evenly distributed in the electroplating tank 2, and ultimately ensures the electroplating quality of the electroplated parts.

[0033] In addition, to ensure the effective discharge of electroplating waste liquid, a drain pipe 3 is also installed at the bottom edge of the electroplating tank 2, and the drain pipe 3 is controlled by an electromagnetic valve.

[0034] Example 2: In another embodiment of this utility model, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the bottom of the claw 27 is respectively provided with an upper clamping block 271 and a lower clamping block 272, and a groove structure is formed between the upper clamping block 271 and the lower clamping block 272. Through the effective cooperation of the upper clamping block 271 and the lower clamping block 272, it can be ensured that the multiple claws 27 can effectively clamp and fix the electroplating bucket containing the electroplated parts, further ensuring the clamping stability of the claws 27 and preventing the electroplating bucket from slipping off during movement.

[0035] In summary, during operation, the electroplating tank containing the electroplated parts is first loaded onto the equipment using the jaws 27. Then, under the action of the drive mechanism and the swing mechanism, the electroplating tank rotates while simultaneously swinging left and right within the electroplating tank 2, ultimately ensuring the electroplating quality of the parts. The entire operation process is quick and convenient, and is worthy of widespread use.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
