Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating tank technology, specifically to an electroplating tank that facilitates the replacement of electroplating water. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating tanks are the core equipment in the electroplating process, typically made of corrosion-resistant materials. The tank contains an electrolyte solution, and an applied current causes metal ions to be reduced and deposited on the workpiece surface, forming a uniform coating that provides corrosion protection, wear resistance, or decorative effects. Electroplating tanks must be equipped with electrodes, heating / cooling systems, and stirring devices to ensure coating quality. They are widely used in the automotive, electronics, and hardware industries.

[0003] In traditional electroplating processes, residual electroplating solution and impurities in the electroplating tank can easily contaminate newly added electroplating water, affecting the quality of subsequent electroplating. Existing cleaning methods for electroplating tanks mostly rely on manual operation or fixed spray devices. Manual rinsing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and fixed spray nozzles cannot be adjusted at the angle, making it difficult to remove residues from the inner wall of the tank. Incomplete cleaning leads to the contamination of new electroplating water, requiring frequent replacement and increasing production costs.

[0004] Therefore, an electroplating tank that facilitates the replacement of electroplating water is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Example: Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This embodiment provides an electroplating tank for easy replacement of electroplating solution, comprising an electroplating tank body 1. The electroplating tank body 1 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism, which facilitates rinsing of the electroplating tank and subsequent replacement of the electroplating solution. The cleaning mechanism is equipped with an angle adjustment mechanism, which allows for adjustment of the angle of the nozzle 210 for thorough rinsing of the electroplating tank. The cleaning mechanism includes a mounting bracket 23, which is fixedly mounted on the electroplating tank body 1. The mounting bracket 23 is used to support the installation of a lead screw 21. The inner wall of the mounting bracket 23 is rotatably connected to the lead screw 21. The lead screw 21 drives a slider 22 to slide linearly along the inner wall of the mounting bracket 23. The lead screw 21 has threads. A slider 22 is connected, and the slider 22 is square in shape. The slider 22 is used to support the installation of the bracket 27. The slider 22 slides on the inner wall of the mounting frame 23. The bracket 27 is fixedly installed on the slider 22. The bracket 27 is used to support the installation of the shaft 212. The top of the bracket 27 is rotatably connected to the shaft 212. The shaft 212 is used to support the installation of the mounting base 29. The bottom end of the shaft 212 passes through the bracket 27 and is fixedly installed on the mounting base 29. The mounting base 29 is used to support the rotation of the pipe 24. The inner wall of the mounting base 29 is rotatably connected to the pipe 24. The bottom end of the pipe 24 is fixedly installed with a nozzle 210. The nozzle 210 is used to spray water to rinse the inner wall of the electroplating tank body 1. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a connecting plate 32, which is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting base 29. The connecting plate 32 is used to support the installation of the vertical plate 33. The vertical plate 33 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting plate 32. The vertical plate 33 is used to support the installation of the first motor 35. The first motor 35 is fixedly installed on the vertical plate 33. The first motor 35 is used to drive the first gear 34 to rotate. The first gear 34 is fixedly installed at the shaft end of the first motor 35. A gear ring 31 is fixedly installed on the pipe 24. The first gear 34 meshes with the gear ring 31. By setting the first gear 34 and the gear ring 31, the first motor 35 drives the pipe 24 to rotate when it is working.

[0019] Mounting bracket 23 is horizontally positioned, and lead screw 21 is also horizontally positioned. The lead screw 21 is positioned to drive slider 22 to slide linearly along the inner wall of mounting bracket 23.

[0020] A second motor 28 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting bracket 23. The shaft end of the second motor 28 passes through the mounting bracket 23 and is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 21. The second motor 28 has forward and reverse rotation functions. The second motor 28 is set to drive the lead screw 21 to rotate.

[0021] The bracket 27 is L-shaped, and the shaft 212 is cylindrical. The shaft 212 is used for mounting the base 29.

[0022] A third motor 211 is fixedly installed on the bracket 27. The third motor 211 is configured to drive the second gear 25 to rotate. The second gear 25 is fixedly installed on the shaft end of the third motor 211.

[0023] A third gear 26 is fixedly installed at the top of the shaft 212. The second gear 25 meshes with the third gear 26. By setting the third gear 26 and the second gear 25, the shaft 212 is driven to rotate when the third motor 211 is working.

[0024] The first motor 35 is horizontally positioned, and the first gear 34 is vertically positioned. The first gear 34 is positioned to mesh with the gear ring 31.

[0025] When the electroplating solution needs to be replaced in the electroplating tank body 1, the electroplating solution is first drained. Then, the pipe 24 is connected to the water pipe, and water is supplied to the water pipe and pipe 24 through the pump. The water will be sprayed onto the inner wall of the electroplating tank body 1 along the nozzle 210 at the bottom of the pipe 24. Then, the second motor 28 is started. The second motor 28 drives the lead screw 21 to rotate. The lead screw 21 drives the slider 22 to slide linearly along the surface of the mounting bracket 23. When the slider 22 slides linearly, it will drive the pipe 24 to move linearly through the bracket 27, shaft 212 and mounting base 29, so that the nozzle 210 at the bottom of the pipe 24 can rinse the inner wall of the electroplating tank body 1.

[0026] When the position of the nozzle 210 needs to be adjusted, the third motor 211 can be started. The third motor 211 drives the second gear 25 to rotate. The second gear 25 meshes with the third gear 26, which will drive the shaft 212 to rotate. When the shaft 212 rotates, it will drive the pipe 24 to rotate through the mounting base 29 until the nozzle 210 at the bottom of the pipe 24 rotates to a suitable position, so that the nozzle 210 can rinse different positions in the electroplating tank body 1.

[0027] When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the nozzle 210, the first motor 35 can be started. The first motor 35 drives the pipe 24 to rotate through the first gear 34 and the gear ring 31 until the nozzle 210 at the bottom of the pipe 24 deflects to a suitable angle, so as to facilitate rinsing the inner wall of the electroplating tank body 1.

[0028] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. Any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing disclosed power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
