Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to an electroplating brushing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the surface electroplating industry for metal terminals, in order to better protect expensive precious metal plating layers, such as gold plating, some customers request that the precious metal plating layers be coated with oil after electroplating. This process, which uses grease (such as rust-preventive oil) to coat and protect the precious metal plating layers, is commonly referred to as oiling in the electroplating industry.
[0003] There are three common methods for applying oil to the surface plating of metal terminals:
[0004] The first method is immersion, which involves moving the strip carrying the metal terminals into a grease-filled tank, immersing the precious metal plating area on the metal terminals in the grease. The drawback of this method is that the strip carries away a large amount of grease when leaving the tank, resulting in high grease consumption.
[0005] The second type is the spray type, which uses a booster pump and nozzles to pressurize the grease and form it into a fine stream sprayed onto the precious metal plating area. The disadvantage of this method is that the area sprayed by the fine stream is poorly controllable. Although it saves more grease than the immersion type, it still has the problem of high grease consumption.
[0006] The third method is the brushing method, which involves absorbing grease with a brush and then brushing it onto the precious metal plating area. The advantage of this method is that it can save grease, but the disadvantage is that the current method is manual brushing, which is too inefficient.
[0007] Therefore, there is a need to develop a device that can automate the oiling process, saving oil and increasing work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0008] Based on this, the present invention provides an electroplating oiling device, which builds an oil supply module with controllable conveying speed for oil supply, and uses the oil-permeable brush cloth to contact the surface of the moving material belt to achieve automated oiling, while recovering the oil dripping from the brush cloth, which not only saves oil, but also has high work efficiency.
[0009] An electroplating brushing device, comprising:
[0010] The oil supply module includes: an oil storage bottle, a first infusion tube connected to the oil storage bottle, an infusion pump connected to the first infusion tube, a second infusion tube connected to the infusion pump, and an infusion needle connected to the second infusion tube; the oil storage bottle is used to hold grease; the infusion pump obtains grease from the oil storage bottle through the first infusion tube and, after regulating the grease delivery rate, delivers the grease to the infusion needle through the second infusion tube; and
[0011] A brushing module connected to an oil supply module; the brushing module includes: a recycling bin, a brush holder mounted above the recycling bin, and a brush cloth mounted on the brush holder; the brush cloth contacts the oil injection nozzle to obtain grease, and the brush cloth is used to contact the surface of the moving material belt to achieve the purpose of brushing; the recycling bin is used to collect the grease dripping from the brush cloth.
[0012] In the aforementioned electroplating oiling device, grease is stored in an oil storage bottle. The oil storage bottle delivers the grease to a pump via a first delivery pipe. The pump regulates the grease delivery rate, and the grease is then delivered to the injection needle via a second delivery pipe. The grease comes into contact with the brush cloth through the injection needle and permeates into the brush cloth. As the conveyor belt moves, it also contacts the brush cloth, ensuring that the surface of the area requiring oiling comes into contact with the brush cloth to adhere the grease, thus achieving automatic oiling. Under gravity, any grease that overflows from the brush cloth drips into a recycling bin for collection. This design establishes a controllable oil supply module for grease supply, utilizing the contact between the grease-permeated brush cloth and the surface of the moving conveyor belt to achieve automated oiling. Simultaneously, the grease dripping from the brush cloth is collected, resulting in both grease savings and high work efficiency.
[0013] In one embodiment, the oil storage bottle is a hanging bottle. The oil is loaded into the hanging bottle and guided out by gravity, resulting in a simple and efficient structure.
[0014] In one embodiment, the oil supply module further includes a bracket; the oil storage bottle is mounted on the bracket. Mounting the oil storage bottle via the bracket facilitates adjustment of its position.
[0015] In one embodiment, the brush holder is provided with a limiting block; the limiting block is detachably connected to the oil injection needle to fix the posture of the oil injection needle. The limiting block can fix the posture of the oil injection needle, preventing the oil injection needle from shaking due to the flowing grease during operation and improving the stability of the operation.
[0016] In one embodiment, the brush coating module further includes: a guide rod vertically installed in the recycling bin, a fixed base connecting the guide rod, and a screw pivotally connected to the fixed base; the guide rod and the screw are parallel to each other and both pass through the brush coating base, and when the screw rotates, it drives the brush coating base to move up and down. By rotating the screw, the brush coating base can be driven to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height position of the brush cloth to adapt to the forward trajectory of the material belt.
[0017] In one embodiment, the brush cloth is attached to the outer periphery of the brush holder. The outer periphery of the brush holder supports and positions the brush cloth, thus achieving a shaping effect.
[0018] In one embodiment, both ends of the brush cloth are detachably connected to the brush holder using tacks or screws. Using tacks or screws to achieve a detachable connection between the brush cloth and the brush holder is simple and efficient.
[0019] In one embodiment, the brush cloth is a non-woven fabric. Non-woven fabrics have good electrical insulation properties, good liquid permeability, strong abrasion resistance, and are not easily damaged. Attached Figure Description

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this is an embodiment of the electroplating brushing device 100 of the present invention.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the electroplating brushing device 100 includes: an oil supply module 10 and a brushing module 20 connected to the oil supply module 10. Wherein, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the oil supply module 10 is used to load grease and deliver the grease to the brushing module 20 at a controllable rate. The brushing module 20 applies the grease to a designated brushing area (e.g., the surface of a pin with a gold plating layer) on the advancing conveyor belt 200.
[0039] The following text, combined with Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the electroplating brushing device 100 described above will be further explained.
[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the oil supply module 10 includes: an oil storage bottle 11, a first infusion pipe 12 connected to the oil storage bottle 11, an infusion pump 13 connected to the first infusion pipe 12, a second infusion pipe 14 connected to the infusion pump 13, and an infusion needle 15 connected to the second infusion pipe 14. The oil storage bottle 11 is used to hold grease. The infusion pump 13 obtains grease from the oil storage bottle 11 through the first infusion pipe 12 and, after regulating the grease delivery rate, delivers the grease to the infusion needle 15 through the second infusion pipe 14. During operation, the infusion pump 13 draws grease from the oil storage bottle 11 through the first infusion pipe 12, and then delivers the grease to the infusion needle 15 through the second infusion pipe 14 at a preset delivery rate.
[0041] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the oil storage bottle 11 is a hanging bottle. The oil is loaded into the hanging bottle, and gravity guides the oil out of the bottle, resulting in a simple and efficient structure.
[0042] In addition, to adjust the position of the oil storage bottle 11, in some embodiments, the oil supply module 10 may also include a bracket. The oil storage bottle 11 is mounted on the bracket. Mounting the oil storage bottle 11 via the bracket facilitates adjustment of its position. For example, the bracket may use a structure similar to an IV stand used in hospitals.
[0043] In other embodiments, the oil supply module 10 may further include a hanging basket. The oil storage bottle 11 is placed on the hanging basket. The oil storage bottle 11 can also be easily installed by hooking the hanging basket to a wall (or other fixed object).
[0044] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the brush coating module 20 includes: a recycling bin 21, a brush holder 22 mounted above the recycling bin 21, and a brush cloth 23 mounted on the brush holder 22. (Combined with...) Figure 2 As shown, the brush 23 is connected to the oil injection needle 15 to obtain grease, and the brush 23 is used to contact the surface of the moving material belt 200 to achieve the purpose of brushing. The recycling bin 21 is used to collect the grease dripping from the brush 23, and the collected grease can be returned to the oil storage bottle 11 for use.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the nozzle of the oil injection needle 15 is inserted into the gap between the brush cloth 23 and the brush holder 22 for fixation (the oil injection needle 15 can also be directly inserted into the brush cloth 23). Considering that the oil delivery has a certain rate, which may cause the oil injection needle 15 to shake, in some embodiments, a limiting block can be provided on the brush holder 22. The limiting block is detachably connected to the oil injection needle 15 to fix the posture of the oil injection needle 15. The limiting block can fix the posture of the oil injection needle 15, preventing the oil injection needle 15 from shaking due to the flowing oil during operation, thus improving the stability of the operation. For example, the oil injection needle 15 and the limiting block are wrapped together with adhesive tape, or the limiting block is provided with a slot for engaging the oil injection needle 15.
[0046] In this embodiment, the brush cloth 23 is preferably a non-woven fabric. Non-woven fabric has good electrical insulation properties, good liquid permeability, strong abrasion resistance, and is not easily damaged.
[0047] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the brush cloth 23 is attached to the outer periphery of the brush base 22. The outer periphery of the brush base 22 is used to support and position the brush cloth 23, thus achieving a shaping effect.
[0048] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the brush cloth 23, both ends of the brush cloth 23 are detachably connected to the brush holder 22 via thumbtacks 24 (or screws in other embodiments). Using thumbtacks 24 (or screws) to achieve a detachable connection between the brush cloth 23 and the brush holder 22 is simple and efficient.
[0049] To improve the flexibility of use, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the brushing module 20 may further include: a guide rod 25 vertically installed in the recovery bucket 21, a fixed base 26 connected to the guide rod 25, and a screw rod 27 pivotally connected to the fixed base 26. The guide rod 25 and the screw rod 27 are parallel to each other and both pass through the brushing seat 22. When the screw rod 27 rotates, it drives the brushing seat 22 to move up and down. By rotating the screw rod 27, the brushing seat 22 can be driven to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height position of the brush cloth 23 to fit the forward trajectory of the material tape 200. For example, as Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, by rotating the top end of the screw rod 27, the screw rod 27 can rotate itself, thereby driving the brushing seat 22 to move up and down.
[0050] Brief description of the working principle:
[0051] As Figure 1 shown, during operation, the grease is stored in the grease storage bottle 11. The grease storage bottle 11 transports the grease to the infusion pump 13 through the first infusion tube 12. The transport rate of the grease is regulated by the infusion pump 13 and then transported to the injection needle 15 through the second infusion tube 14. As Figure 2 shown, the grease contacts the brush cloth 23 through the injection needle 15 and penetrates into the brush cloth 23. The material tape 200 contacts the brush cloth 23 during its travel (it is necessary to pre-adjust the height position of the brushing seat 22 to fit the trajectory of the material tape 200 so that the brush cloth 23 can contact the precious metal area that needs to be oiled), so that the surface of the area that needs to be oiled contacts the brush cloth 23 to adhere to the grease. As the material tape 200 advances, the oiling process of the designated area on the metal terminals of the material tape 200 can be automatically completed, thus achieving the purpose of automatic oiling. Under the action of gravity, the grease in the brush cloth 23 overflows and drops into the recovery bucket 21 for recovery.
[0052] It should be added that, in this embodiment, taking Figure 1 as an example, only one brushing module 20 can only complete the single-sided oiling of the designated area on the material tape 200 in one oiling operation. Therefore, in actual operation, two brushing modules 20 can be set, and they are respectively arranged on two sides of the advancing material tape 200. Correspondingly, two oil supply modules 10 can be used to supply oil to each brushing module 20 separately, or one oil supply module 10 can be used to supply oil to two brushing modules 20 simultaneously (two second infusion tubes 14 and two injection needles 15 are provided for split oil supply).
[0053] The above electroplating and oiling device 100 builds an oil supply module 10 with a controllable transport rate for grease supply, uses the brush cloth 23 permeated with grease to contact the surface of the advancing material tape 200 to achieve automatic oiling, and at the same time recovers the grease dripping from the brush cloth 23, which not only saves grease but also has high work efficiency.
[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0055] The above embodiments only illustrate preferred implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
