Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive trim processing technology, and in particular to an electroplating mold for automotive trim. Background Technology

[0002] The purpose of automotive trim strips is to decorate vehicles and enhance their aesthetics. They are usually made of stainless steel, and electroplating is often used to improve their oxidation and corrosion resistance.

[0003] During the electroplating process, since the entire surface of the decorative strip does not need to be electroplated, it is necessary to use an electroplating mold to cover the areas of the decorative strip that do not need to be electroplated. However, the existing electroplating mold cannot conveniently output the electroplated automotive decorative strip after electroplating. At the same time, since a lot of electroplating liquid will remain on the surface of the automotive decorative strip after electroplating, direct output will also cause the electroplating liquid to fall into the working environment and cause pollution.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an electroplating mold for automotive trim strips to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electroplating mold for automotive trim strips, which allows for convenient output of the trim strips after electroplating. Simultaneously, the output trim strips can be drained to recover the electroplating solution adhering to their surface, thus avoiding waste of the electroplating solution and pollution of the working environment. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art that existing electroplating molds cannot conveniently output electroplated automotive trim strips after electroplating, and that direct output of the trim strips, which leaves a significant amount of electroplating solution on their surface, would lead to the solution falling into the working environment and causing pollution.

[0006] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the following technical solution is provided: an electroplating mold for automotive trim strips, comprising:

[0007] An electroplating assembly, used for mounting the shielding mechanism and the output draining mechanism;

[0008] A shielding mechanism, wherein the shielding mechanism is used to position and shield the decorative strip; and

[0009] The output draining mechanism includes two U-shaped connecting rods fixedly installed on both sides of the front of the upper template. A lifting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two U-shaped connecting rods. The top of the lifting plate is provided with a guide slope that is higher in the front and lower in the back. The output draining mechanism also includes a draining tray fixedly installed on the top of the back of the electroplating tank. A support net is fixedly installed inside the draining tray. A return pipe connected to the electroplating tank is fixedly installed through the left side of the draining tray.

[0010] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, an electroplating mold for automotive trim strips includes an electroplating tank filled with an electroplating solution, and a plating metal block placed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the electroplating tank.

[0011] According to at least one embodiment of the electroplating mold for automotive trim strips, a mounting frame is fixedly provided on the top of the electroplating tank, guide grooves are provided on both sides of the mounting frame, and an electroplating push rod is fixedly provided on the top inner side of the mounting frame.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment of the electroplating mold for automotive trim strips disclosed herein, the shielding mechanism includes a lower mold frame fixedly disposed at the top inner side of the electroplating tank, the lower mold frame having a positioning channel adapted to the trim strip to be electroplated on its inner side, the shielding mechanism also including an upper template fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the output shaft of the electroplating push rod, and multiple rubber blocks fixedly disposed at the bottom inner side of the lower mold frame and the bottom of the upper template.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment of the electroplating mold for automotive trim strips, a columnar conductor is fixedly nested on the bottom front of the upper template, and guide sliders that are slidably disposed in the inner side of adjacent guide grooves in the vertical direction are fixedly disposed on both sides of the upper template.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment of the electroplating mold for automotive trim strips of this disclosure, the plating metal block and the input end of the columnar conductor are electrically connected to a control switch, and the input end of the control switch is electrically connected to an external power source.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention features an output draining mechanism. After electroplating, when the electroplating push rod moves the upper template upwards to reset, the upper template, via two U-shaped connecting rods, moves two lifting plates upwards synchronously. As the lifting plates move upwards, they push the decorative strip from its bottom, causing it to move out from the inside of the lower mold frame. Guided by the guide slope, the decorative strip falls onto the top of the support net inside the draining tray for draining. The electroplating solution adhering to the surface of the decorative strip passes through the support net under gravity and falls into the draining tray for collection. It is then returned to the electroplating tank through a return pipe for reuse. Compared to existing technologies, this invention allows for convenient output of the decorative strip after electroplating and enables draining of the output strip, thus recovering the electroplating solution adhering to its surface and avoiding waste of electroplating solution and pollution of the working environment.

[0027] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the electroplating assembly 1 and the shielding mechanism 2 of an electroplating mold for automotive trim strips according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0028] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the output draining mechanism 3 of an electroplating mold for automotive trim strips according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the electroplating mold for automotive trim strips disclosed herein may include components such as an electroplating assembly 1, a shielding mechanism 2, and an output draining mechanism 3.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown in this disclosure, the electroplating assembly 1 includes an electroplating tank 11. Before electroplating begins, an appropriate amount of electroplating solution is injected into the electroplating tank 11 to ensure that the liquid level can completely submerge the decorative strip to be processed. A metal block 12 for plating is placed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the electroplating tank 11. A mounting frame 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the electroplating tank 11. Guide grooves 14 are opened on both sides of the mounting frame 13. An electroplating push rod 15 is fixedly installed on the top inner side of the mounting frame 13.

[0031] Therefore, the electroplating tank 11 is used to contain the electroplating solution, the guide slide 14 is used to guide and limit the guide slider 26, and the electroplating push rod 15 is used to drive the upper template 23 to rise and fall. At the same time, the electroplating tank 11 is equipped with an inlet pipe for inputting the electroplating solution and an outlet pipe for outputting the electroplating solution.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the shielding mechanism 2 includes a lower mold frame 21 fixedly disposed at the top inner side of the electroplating tank 11. The lower mold frame 21 has a positioning channel 22 adapted to the decorative strip to be electroplated. The shielding mechanism 2 also includes an upper template 23 fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the output shaft of the electroplating push rod 15. Multiple rubber blocks 24 are fixedly disposed at the bottom inner side of the lower mold frame 21 and the bottom of the upper template 23. The rubber blocks 24 need to be checked for wear regularly to ensure the shielding seal. A columnar conductor 25 is fixedly nested on the front bottom of the upper template 23. Guide sliders 26 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the upper template 23 and are slidably disposed in the inner side of the adjacent guide grooves 14 in the vertical direction. The input end of the plating metal block 12 and the columnar conductor 25 are electrically connected to a control switch. The input end of the control switch is electrically connected to an external power source.

[0033] Thus, the decorative strip to be electroplated is placed into the inner side of the positioning channel 22 from the front of the electroplating tank 11. The inner wall of the positioning channel 22 positions the decorative strip, and the rubber block 24 on the inner side of the lower mold frame 21 supports it from the bottom of the decorative strip. At this time, the electroplating liquid at the front of the electroplating tank 11 covers the decorative strip. Then, the electroplating push rod 15 drives the upper template 23 to move down continuously until the multiple rubber blocks 24 at the bottom of the upper template 23 press against the top of the decorative strip. At this time, the multiple rubber blocks 24 cover the top and bottom of the decorative strip. At the same time, the columnar conductor 25 contacts the top of the decorative strip. Then, the control switch is turned on. Under the conduction of the columnar conductor 25, the metal cations inside the plating metal block 12 form an electroplating layer on the surface of the decorative strip.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown in this disclosure, the output draining mechanism 3 includes two U-shaped connecting rods 31 fixedly installed on both sides of the front of the upper template 23. Each of the two U-shaped connecting rods 31 has a lifting plate 32 fixedly installed at its bottom end. The top of the lifting plate 32 has a guide slope 33 that is higher in the front and lower in the back, so that when the draining tray 34 no longer blocks the decorative strip, the guide slope 33 can guide the decorative strip backward and make it fall. The output draining mechanism 3 also includes a draining tray 34 fixedly installed on the top of the back of the electroplating tank 11. A support net 35 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the draining tray 34. The support net 35 is made of corrosion-resistant metal material, which not only ensures the draining efficiency, but also avoids scratching the coating on the surface of the decorative strip. A return pipe 36 connected to the electroplating tank 11 is fixedly installed through the left side of the draining tray 34. The return pipe 36 needs to be dredged regularly to prevent crystallization blockage.

[0035] Therefore, after electroplating is completed, when the electroplating push rod 15 moves the upper template 23 upward and resets, the upper template 23 drives the two lifting plates 32 to move upward synchronously through the two U-shaped connecting rods 31. As the lifting plates 32 move upward continuously, the two lifting plates 32 push the decorative strip from the bottom of the decorative strip, thereby moving it out from the inside of the lower mold frame 21. Then, under the guidance of the guide slope 33, the decorative strip falls on the top of the support net 35 inside the drain pan 34 for draining. The electroplating liquid attached to the surface of the decorative strip passes through the support net 35 under the action of gravity and falls into the drain pan 34 for collection. Then, it is returned to the electroplating tank 11 through the return pipe 36 for reuse. Compared with the prior art, this utility model can conveniently output the decorative strip after electroplating, and can also perform a draining operation on the output decorative strip to recover the electroplating liquid attached to the surface of the decorative strip, avoiding waste of electroplating liquid and pollution of the working environment.

[0036] It should also be noted that any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0037] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
