Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an electroplating device for a radiator of a new energy vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicle radiators are typically exposed to complex and harsh environments, such as humidity, high temperatures, and salt spray, making them susceptible to corrosion. Electroplating processes can form a dense and uniform metal or alloy coating on the radiator surface, effectively isolating the radiator substrate from the external environment, preventing corrosive media from eroding it, greatly improving the radiator's corrosion resistance, and extending its service life.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN222524721U, which discloses an electroplating treatment device for a new energy vehicle radiator. The device includes a cover plate disposed above an electroplating tank. First hydraulic cylinders are disposed on both sides of the electroplating tank. Mounting holes are provided on the cover plate. A mounting frame is disposed above the cover plate and is slidably connected to the cover plate. A storage mesh frame is disposed below the cover plate. A second hydraulic cylinder is disposed between the mounting frame and the cover plate.

[0004] The aforementioned device uses a mesh frame to hold the radiator. However, once the radiator is removed from the liquid surface, it needs to be drained before it can be taken out. Otherwise, the liquid remaining on the surface of the radiator may drip during subsequent handling or storage, polluting the work area environment, making continuous work impossible, and hindering work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electroplating device for radiators of new energy vehicles to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electroplating device for a new energy vehicle radiator, comprising an electroplating tank, a collection tank fixedly connected to the outside of the electroplating tank, a holding assembly installed inside the collection tank, the holding assembly including an electric telescopic rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the collection tank, an installation plate fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod, a connecting seat rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the installation plate, a gear ring coaxially fixed to the outside of the connecting seat, a stepper motor fixedly installed to the bottom outer wall of the installation plate, a gear coaxially fixed to the output end of the stepper motor, the gear meshing with the gear ring, and a storage structure provided outside the connecting seat, the storage structure including two extension rods and two receiving mesh frames.

[0007] The device allows for the alternating use of two receiving mesh frames, ensuring continuous electroplating of the radiator without waiting for the plating solution to drain, thus improving the device's efficiency. Controlling the upward extension of the electric telescopic rod moves the mounting plate and connecting seat synchronously. The connecting seat, via the extension rod, moves the receiving mesh frame out of the electroplating tank. Then, the stepper motor at the bottom of the mounting plate is activated, driving the gears to rotate. The gears mesh and rotate the gear ring, which, via the connecting seat and extension rod, causes the two receiving mesh frames to alternate positions. Finally, the electric telescopic rod retracts, allowing the new radiator to re-enter the electroplating tank for continued electroplating, while the finished product enters the collection tank for draining before being replaced.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the two extension rods are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the connecting seat, and the two receiving mesh frames are respectively fixedly installed at the bottom of the two extension rods at opposite ends, with the two receiving mesh frames located inside the electroplating tank and the collection tank respectively.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a cleaning assembly is installed on the top of the collection pool. The cleaning assembly includes an air supply pipe fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the top of the collection pool. Several mounting seats are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the air supply pipe. A nozzle is hinged inside each of the mounting seats. The nozzles are connected to the air supply pipe through hoses.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a vertically arranged servo electric cylinder is installed on the outer wall of both sides of the air supply pipe. A movable ring is fixedly connected to the output end of the two servo electric cylinders. Several drive frames are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the movable ring. An extension column is fixedly connected to the outside of each of the nozzles. The drive frames are slidably sleeved on the outside of the extension columns.

[0011] An external compressed gas pipeline directs the airflow into the air supply pipe. The airflow then enters several nozzles through flexible hoses, and is then sprayed onto the radiator through the openings at the bottom of the nozzles. Two servo electric cylinders are activated simultaneously, driving the moving ring to move up and down. Since the moving ring is a rigid structure and is rigidly connected to the output ends of the two servo electric cylinders, the two servo electric cylinders can be forced to move synchronously. The moving ring drives several drive frames to move upward synchronously. The drive frames, through the extension columns, can drive the nozzles to rotate upward along the mounting base, which can greatly increase the blowing area of ​​the airflow and accelerate the removal speed of the electroplating solution.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, an anode plate is fixedly installed on one inner wall of the electroplating tank, and a power supply bar is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the electroplating tank. A contact head is provided on the outer wall of each of the two receiving mesh frames that are far apart from each other, and one of the contact heads is in contact with the top wall of the power supply bar.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, four telescopic tubes are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the collection pool, and the movable ends of the four telescopic tubes are all fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, both the power supply bar and the two receiving mesh frames are made of metal.

[0015] This utility model provides an electroplating device for radiators of new energy vehicles, which has the following beneficial effects: (1) By setting up a holding component, this utility model enables two receiving mesh frames to be used alternately, thereby ensuring that the device can continuously electroplat the radiator without waiting for the attached electroplating liquid to drain, which is beneficial to improving the working efficiency of the device. Control the electric telescopic rod to extend upward, and the mounting plate and connecting seat are driven to move synchronously. The connecting seat drives the receiving mesh frame to move out of the electroplating tank through the extension rod. Then, the stepper motor at the bottom of the mounting plate is started. The stepper motor drives the gear to rotate. The gear drives the gear ring to rotate through meshing. The gear ring drives the two receiving mesh frames to alternate positions through the connecting seat and the extension rod. Finally, control the electric telescopic rod to retract. The new radiator will enter the electroplating tank again to continue the electroplating work, while the finished product will enter the collection tank for draining. After that, the workpiece is replaced.

[0016] (2) By setting up a cleaning component, the external compressed gas pipeline introduces the airflow into the gas supply pipe. The airflow then enters several nozzles through the hose and sprays towards the radiator through the opening at the bottom of the nozzle. The two servo electric cylinders are started at the same time. The two servo electric cylinders drive the moving ring to move up and down. Since the moving ring is a rigid structure and the moving ring is rigidly connected to the output end of the two servo electric cylinders, the two servo electric cylinders can be forced to move synchronously. The moving ring drives several drive frames to move up synchronously. The drive frames can drive the nozzles to flip up along the mounting base through the extension column, which can greatly increase the blowing area of ​​the airflow and accelerate the removal speed of the electroplating solution.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, a new energy vehicle radiator electroplating device includes an electroplating tank 1, a collection tank 2 fixedly connected to the outside of the electroplating tank 1, a holding component 6 installed inside the collection tank 2, the holding component 6 including an electric telescopic rod 601 fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the collection tank 2, an installation plate 602 fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 601, a connecting seat 603 rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the installation plate 602, a gear ring 604 coaxially fixed to the outside of the connecting seat 603, a stepper motor 606 fixedly installed to the bottom outer wall of the installation plate 602, a gear 605 coaxially fixed to the output end of the stepper motor 606, the gear 605 meshing with the gear ring 604, and a storage structure provided outside the connecting seat 603, the storage structure including two extension rods 607 and two receiving mesh frames 608.

[0020] Two extension rods 607 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two sides of the connecting seat 603, and two receiving mesh frames 608 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the two extension rods 607 at opposite ends. The two receiving mesh frames 608 are located inside the electroplating tank 1 and the collection tank 2, respectively.

[0021] The electric telescopic rod 601 is controlled to extend upward, and the mounting plate 602 and the connecting seat 603 are moved synchronously. The connecting seat 603 drives the receiving mesh frame 608 to move out of the electroplating tank 1 through the extension rod 607. Then, the stepper motor 606 at the bottom of the mounting plate 602 is started. The stepper motor 606 drives the gear 605 to rotate. The gear 605 drives the gear ring 604 to rotate through meshing. The gear ring 604 drives the two receiving mesh frames 608 to alternate positions through the connecting seat 603 and the extension rod 607. Finally, the electric telescopic rod 601 is controlled to retract, and the new radiator will enter the electroplating tank 1 again to continue the electroplating work, while the finished product will enter the collection tank 2 for draining, and then the workpiece will be replaced.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a cleaning assembly 7 is installed on the top of the collection pool 2. The cleaning assembly 7 includes an air supply pipe 701 fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the top of the collection pool 2. Several mounting seats 702 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the air supply pipe 701. A nozzle 703 is hinged inside each of the mounting seats 702. The nozzles 703 are connected to the air supply pipe 701 through hoses.

[0023] A vertically arranged servo electric cylinder 707 is installed on both outer walls of the air supply pipe 701 (each servo electric cylinder 707 can be equipped with a position encoder. The encoder compares the actual position with the target position through a PID algorithm and dynamically adjusts the motor speed, which can further improve the synchronization of the two servo electric cylinders 707. The focus of this device is the holding structure, and the details will not be elaborated in detail). A moving ring 706 is fixedly connected to the output end of the two servo electric cylinders 707. Several drive frames 705 are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the moving ring 706. An extension column 704 is fixedly connected to the outside of several nozzles 703. The several drive frames 705 are slidably sleeved on the outside of the several extension columns 704.

[0024] The draining process is as follows: an external compressed gas pipeline introduces airflow into the air supply pipe 701. The airflow then enters several nozzles 703 through hoses, and is sprayed towards the radiator through the openings at the bottom of the nozzles 703. Two servo electric cylinders 707 are started simultaneously, driving the moving ring 706 to move up and down. Since the moving ring 706 is a rigid structure and is rigidly connected to the output ends of the two servo electric cylinders 707, the two servo electric cylinders 707 can be forced to move synchronously. The moving ring 706 drives several drive frames 705 to move upward synchronously. The drive frames 705, through the extension column 704, can drive the nozzles 703 to rotate upward along the mounting base 702, which can greatly increase the blowing area of ​​the airflow and accelerate the removal speed of the electroplating solution. Since the horizontal direction also changes when the nozzles 703 and the extension column 704 move upward, and the drive groove inside the drive frame 705 is long and narrow, this design allows the extension column 704 to adapt to the change in horizontal direction when moving in the drive groove, thus ensuring the normal operation of the structure.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, an anode plate 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the electroplating tank 1, and a power supply strip 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the electroplating tank 1. A contact head 5 is provided on the outer wall of the two receiving mesh frames 608 on the side away from each other, and one of the contact heads 5 is in contact with the top wall of the power supply strip 4.

[0026] Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the anode plate 3 and the negative terminal to the power supply bar 4. When the power supply bar 4 and the contact head 5 are in contact, the current can be conducted to the heat sink through the receiving mesh frame 608. With the electroplating solution, a closed circuit can be formed. During the electrolysis process, the anode plate 3 dissolves to replenish metal ions or transfer electrons, and the metal ions on the surface of the heat sink are reduced and deposited, thereby forming a plating layer.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, four telescopic tubes 609 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the collection pool 2. The movable ends of the four telescopic tubes 609 are all fixedly connected to the mounting plate 602, which can improve the stability of the mounting plate 602 during movement.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, the power supply bar 4 and the two receiving mesh frames 608 are all made of metal materials to ensure the normal flow of current.

[0029] This utility model provides an electroplating device for radiators of new energy vehicles, the specific working principle of which is as follows: When the device is working, the positive terminal of the power supply is connected to the anode plate 3 and the negative terminal is connected to the power supply bar 4. When the power supply bar 4 and the contact head 5 are in contact, the current can be conducted to the heat sink through the receiving mesh frame 608. With the electroplating solution, a closed circuit can be formed. During the electrolysis process, the anode plate 3 dissolves to replenish metal ions or transfer electrons, and the metal ions on the surface of the heat sink are reduced and deposited, thereby forming a plating layer. After electroplating is completed, the electric telescopic rod 601 is first extended upwards, and the mounting plate 602 and the connecting seat 603 are moved synchronously. The connecting seat 603 drives the receiving mesh frame 608 to move out of the electroplating tank 1 through the extension rod 607. Then, the stepper motor 606 at the bottom of the mounting plate 602 is started. The stepper motor 606 drives the gear 605 to rotate. The gear 605 drives the gear ring 604 to rotate through meshing. The gear ring 604 drives the two receiving mesh frames 608 to alternate positions through the connecting seat 603 and the extension rod 607. Finally, the electric telescopic rod 601 is retracted, and the new radiator will enter the electroplating tank 1 again to continue the electroplating work, while the finished product will enter the collection tank 2 for draining, and then the workpiece will be replaced. The draining process is as follows: an external compressed gas pipeline introduces airflow into the air supply pipe 701. The airflow then enters several nozzles 703 through hoses, and is sprayed towards the radiator through the openings at the bottom of the nozzles 703. Two servo electric cylinders 707 are started simultaneously, driving the moving ring 706 to move up and down. Since the moving ring 706 is a rigid structure and is rigidly connected to the output ends of the two servo electric cylinders 707, the two servo electric cylinders 707 can be forced to move synchronously. The moving ring 706 drives several drive frames 705 to move upward synchronously. The drive frames 705, through the extension column 704, can drive the nozzles 703 to rotate upward along the mounting base 702, which can greatly increase the blowing area of ​​the airflow and accelerate the removal speed of the electroplating solution. Since the horizontal direction also changes when the nozzles 703 and the extension column 704 move upward, and the drive groove inside the drive frame 705 is long and narrow, this design allows the extension column 704 to adapt to the change in horizontal direction when moving in the drive groove, thus ensuring the normal operation of the structure.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
