Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece electroplating technology, specifically to an electroplating tank for uniform electroplating. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating tanks are key equipment in the electroplating process, playing an important role in the treatment of metal materials and improving their surface properties. They are widely used in many industrial fields. By electrolytically depositing metal ions in an electrolyte solution, environmentally friendly treatment of metal materials and improvement of their surface properties can be achieved. An electroplating tank generally consists of a tank body, electrodes, a power supply, an electrolyte solution, and a temperature control device. The electrolyte solution in the electroplating tank, under the action of an electric current, causes metal ions to deposit on the surface of the workpiece to form a metal layer.

[0003] Traditional electroplating tanks typically employ static electroplating, where the plating solution remains essentially still within the tank. This results in inconsistent deposition rates of metal ions on the workpiece surface, easily leading to defects such as uneven plating thickness, nodules, or missed plating, thus affecting product quality. Furthermore, existing electroplating tanks often use simple clamping or suspension methods to fix workpieces, which are prone to displacement during electroplating due to liquid flow impact or mechanical vibration. This can cause incomplete plating in some areas or even workpiece detachment, impacting production efficiency and product yield. Therefore, we propose an electroplating tank designed for uniform plating. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electroplating tank with uniform electroplating, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An electroplating tank for uniform electroplating includes an electroplating shell. Springs are symmetrically connected to the left side of the inner wall of the electroplating shell. A circular block is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring. An electroplating pool is fixedly connected to the other side of the circular block. Circular grooves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the electroplating pool. A rolling ball is rotatably connected inside the circular groove. A clamping assembly is provided in the middle of the electroplating pool. A semi-circular block is provided on the right side of the electroplating pool. A transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the electroplating shell.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a rotating disk rotatably connected to the right side of the electroplating tank, a bidirectional screw fixedly connected to the axis on the back of the rotating disk, the two ends of the bidirectional screw being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the electroplating tank respectively, and square blocks threaded through both sides of the surface of the bidirectional screw, with a clamping plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the square blocks.

[0008] Preferably, sliding blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the clamping plate, and sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom wall of the electroplating tank, with the sliding blocks slidably connected in the sliding grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a drive motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the electroplating shell, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, a convex block fixedly connected to the middle of the surface of the rotating rod, and one end of the convex block abutting against the semi-circular block.

[0010] Preferably, a screw is threadedly connected to the center of the front of the electroplated shell, a connecting plate is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw, a battery block is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate, and the power supply end of the battery block is electrically connected to the power supply end of the drive motor.

[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the rolling ball slides against the inner wall of the electroplating shell, and a telescopic plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the electroplating shell, with the telescopic end of the telescopic plate fixedly connected to the outer right wall of the electroplating tank.

[0012] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating disk, and the outer surface of the handle is provided with anti-slip stripes.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This electroplating tank, designed for uniform electroplating, utilizes a clamping assembly. Operators can rotate a rotating disc to drive a bidirectional screw, causing the square block and clamping plate to move towards the center along a sliding groove, thus clamping and fixing the workpiece. The sliding block at the bottom of the clamping plate cooperates with the sliding groove, further ensuring the stability and precision of the clamping process, effectively preventing workpiece displacement during electroplating and improving electroplating quality.

[0015] 2. The electroplating tank with uniform electroplating is driven by a drive motor in the transmission assembly to rotate the rotating rod and the convex block. The convex block continuously hits the semi-circular block, causing the electroplating tank to reciprocate under the action of the spring. This causes the electroplating solution to continuously slosh, avoiding the problem of uneven deposition caused by the stagnant electroplating solution, thereby ensuring that the electroplating layer on the workpiece surface is evenly distributed and improving the electroplating effect.

[0016] 3. The electroplating tank, designed for uniform electroplating, is slidably connected to the inner wall of the electroplating shell via a rolling ball. Combined with the telescopic plate, this design ensures flexible movement of the electroplating tank while preventing electroplating solution spillage that could damage the drive motor. Furthermore, the anti-slip stripes on the handle facilitate application of force by the operator, further enhancing ease of use. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] An electroplating tank for uniform electroplating includes an electroplating shell 1. Springs 2 are symmetrically connected to the left side of the inner wall of the electroplating shell 1. A circular block 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of the springs 2. An electroplating pool 4 is fixedly connected to the other side of the circular block 3. Circular grooves are opened on both the front and rear sides of the electroplating pool 4. A rolling ball 5 is rotatably connected inside the circular groove.

[0028] In this utility model, a clamping assembly 6 is provided in the middle of the electroplating tank 4. The clamping assembly 6 includes a rotating disk 61 rotatably connected to the right side of the electroplating tank 4. A bidirectional screw 62 is fixedly connected to the axis on the back of the rotating disk 61. The two ends of the bidirectional screw 62 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the electroplating tank 4. A square block 63 is threaded through both sides of the surface of the bidirectional screw 62. A clamping plate 64 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square block 63. Sliding blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the clamping plate 64. Sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the inner bottom wall of the electroplating tank 4. The sliding blocks are slidably connected in the sliding grooves. A handle 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating disk 61. Anti-slip stripes are provided on the outer surface of the handle 12.

[0029] By using the clamping assembly 6 and the electroplating tank 4 in cooperation, when electroplating is required, the workpiece is placed inside the electroplating tank 4. Then, by turning the handle 12, the rotating disk 61 is turned, which drives the bidirectional screw 62 to rotate. This causes the square block 63 to move the clamping plate 64 along the sliding groove towards the center, clamping and fixing the workpiece. The sliding block at the bottom of the clamping plate 64, in cooperation with the sliding groove, further ensures the stability and accuracy of the clamping process, effectively preventing the workpiece from shifting during electroplating and improving the electroplating quality.

[0030] In this embodiment, a semi-circular block 7 is provided on the right side of the electroplating tank 4, and a transmission assembly 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the electroplating shell 1. The transmission assembly 8 includes a drive motor 81 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the electroplating shell 1. A rotating rod 82 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 81. A convex block 83 is fixedly connected to the middle of the surface of the rotating rod 82. One end of the convex block 83 abuts against the semi-circular block 7.

[0031] In use, the rotating rod 82 is controlled by the drive motor 81 to rotate, which in turn drives the convex block 83 to rotate continuously. This causes the convex block 83 to continuously strike the surface of the semi-circular block 7, and causes the electroplating tank 4 to continuously squeeze the spring 2 and the circular block 3. Under the action of the spring 2 and the convex block 83, the electroplating tank 4 moves back and forth continuously, causing the electroplating solution inside the electroplating tank 4 to continuously slosh around, avoiding the problem of uneven deposition caused by the stagnant electroplating solution, thus facilitating uniform electroplating of the workpiece.

[0032] Furthermore, a screw is threadedly connected to the center of the front of the electroplated shell 1, and a connecting plate 9 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw. A battery block 10 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate 9, and the power supply end of the battery block 10 is electrically connected to the power input end of the drive motor 81.

[0033] The battery block 10 facilitates the supply of power to the drive motor 81.

[0034] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the rolling ball 5 slides against the inner wall of the electroplating shell 1, and a telescopic plate 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the electroplating shell 1. The telescopic end of the telescopic plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer right wall of the electroplating tank 4.

[0035] During the reciprocating motion of the electroplating tank 4, the telescopic plate 11 is always fixedly connected to the inner wall of the electroplating shell 1 and the right side of the inner wall of the electroplating tank 4. The telescopic plate 11 prevents the liquid inside the electroplating tank 4 from overflowing into the electroplating shell 1 during the shaking process and causing damage to the drive motor 81.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the electroplating tank with uniform electroplating is in use, the workpiece is placed inside the electroplating tank 4, and then the handle 12 is turned to rotate the rotating disk 61 to drive the bidirectional screw 62 to rotate, so that the square block 63 drives the clamping plate 64 to move towards the center along the sliding groove to clamp and fix the workpiece.

[0037] Then, the rotating rod 82 is controlled by the drive motor 81 to rotate, which drives the convex block 83 to rotate continuously. This causes the convex block 83 to continuously strike the surface of the semi-circular block 7, and causes the electroplating tank 4 to continuously squeeze the spring 2 and the circular block 3. Under the action of the spring 2 and the convex block 83, the electroplating tank 4 moves back and forth continuously, causing the electroplating liquid inside the electroplating tank 4 to continuously shake, thereby facilitating uniform electroplating of the workpiece.

[0038] In this application, the structures and connections not described in detail are all prior art, and their structures and principles are well known, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0039] 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 preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
