Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to an electroplating apparatus for the back panel of plastic products. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic products are a general term for household and industrial goods made primarily from plastics. This includes products manufactured using processes such as injection molding and vacuum forming. Plastics are a type of synthetic polymer material with malleability. Compared to metal parts, electroplated plastic products not only achieve a superior metallic texture but also reduce weight. While effectively improving the appearance and decorative properties of plastics, they also enhance their electrical, thermal, and corrosion resistance properties.

[0003] Currently, electroplating involves placing the workpiece in an electroplating solution. However, during electroplating, the workpiece needs to be fixed in the solution. Usually, workers use clamps to hold the workpiece in the solution, which is cumbersome and reduces the efficiency of electroplating. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that existing technologies typically involve workers using clamps to hold workpieces in the electroplating solution, which is cumbersome and reduces the efficiency of electroplating, this application provides an electroplating device for the back panel of plastic products.

[0005] The electroplating apparatus for the back panel of plastic products provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An electroplating device for the back panel of a plastic product includes a base, an L-shaped support plate fixed to the rear side of the base, an electroplating tank above the base, an electric push rod mounted on the upper surface of the L-shaped support plate, an output shaft end of the electric push rod passing through the L-shaped support plate and a positioning seat fixed therein, grooves symmetrically opened at both ends of the positioning seat, sliders slidably mounted in the grooves, fixing components on both sides of the upper end of the sliders, and an adjusting plate mounted at the bottom end, a clamping frame symmetrically slidably mounted on the outer side of the adjusting plate, and an elastic mechanism fixedly connected to the clamping frame inside the adjusting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the slider adopts a "T" shaped structure, with its upper end extending through to the top of the groove and outwards.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing assembly includes a screw threaded onto the upper end face of the slider and a fixing block disposed at the bottom end of the screw.

[0009] Preferably, the adjusting plate has a groove, the elastic mechanism includes a slide rod fixedly disposed in the groove, a movable block and a spring symmetrically sleeved on the outside of the slide rod, one end of the spring being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove and the other end being fixedly connected to the movable block, and the clamping frame being fixedly installed on the outer surface of the movable block.

[0010] Preferably, a rubber pad is installed on one end face of both the fixing block and the clamping frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This plastic product backplate electroplating device first presses both ends of the backplate together, suitable for backplates of different lengths and thicknesses. After fixing, the electric push rod is activated, which drives the positioning seat and clamping frame to move synchronously towards the electroplating tank, thereby placing the plastic backplate inside the electroplating tank for electroplating. This realizes automatic placement of the plastic backplate in the electroplating solution, making the operation simpler and more convenient, and improving the efficiency of electroplating.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0020] An electroplating device for the back panel of a plastic product includes a base 1, an L-shaped support plate 2 fixed to the rear side of the base 1, an electroplating tank 4 arranged above the base 1, an electric push rod 3 installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped support plate 2, the output shaft end of the electric push rod 3 passing through the L-shaped support plate 2 and a positioning seat 5 fixed therein, grooves 6 symmetrically opened at both ends of the positioning seat 5, sliders 7 slidably installed in the grooves 6, fixing components arranged on both sides of the upper end of the sliders 7, and an adjusting plate 8 installed at the bottom end, a clamping frame 9 symmetrically slidably arranged on the outer side of the adjusting plate 8, and an elastic mechanism fixedly connected to the clamping frame 9 is arranged inside the adjusting plate 8.

[0021] In use, first adjust the position of the slider 7 in the grooves 6 at both ends of the positioning seat 5 according to the length of the plastic back plate. When the position is adjusted to a suitable position, the slider 7 is fixed by the fixing component, which expands the applicable range. Then, insert both ends of the back plate into the positions between the two clamping frames 9. The elastic force of the elastic mechanism presses the two ends of the back plate together, which is suitable for back plates of different thicknesses. After fixing, start the electric push rod 3 to drive the positioning seat 5 and the clamping frame 9 to move synchronously towards the electroplating tank 4, thereby driving the plastic back plate to be placed in the electroplating tank 4 for electroplating. This realizes the automatic placement of the plastic back plate in the electroplating solution, making the operation simpler and more convenient, and improving the efficiency of electroplating.

[0022] The slider 7 adopts a "T"-shaped structure, and its upper end extends through to the top of the groove 6 and outwards, which enhances the stability during movement.

[0023] The fixing component includes a screw 10 threaded onto the upper end face of the slider 7 and a fixing block 11 disposed at the bottom end of the screw 10. When the slider 7 is moved and adjusted to a suitable position, the screw 10 is rotated, which drives the fixing block 11 to move toward the upper end face of the positioning seat 5, thereby achieving the effect of limiting and fixing.

[0024] The adjusting plate 8 has a groove. The elastic mechanism includes a slide rod 14 fixedly installed in the groove. A movable block 12 and a spring 13 are symmetrically sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 14. One end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the other end is fixedly connected to the movable block 12. The clamping frames 9 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the movable block 12. When fixing, the two ends of the back plate are pressed against the two clamping frames 9 respectively, so that it is placed between the two clamping frames 9. After the clamping frames 9 are pressed, they will drive the movable block 12 to slide in the groove and press the spring 13. The spring 13 will also press the movable block 12 and the clamping frames 9 in the opposite direction to achieve the effect of clamping and fixing. By clamping with the clamping frames 9, the contact area is reduced, making the electroplating more uniform. At the same time, since the plastic back plate is lightweight, this clamping method can avoid damage to the plastic back plate caused by excessive clamping force.

[0025] Rubber pads are installed on one end face of both the fixing block 11 and the clamping frame 9, which increases the friction of contact and improves the firmness.

[0026] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
