[0002] In the current hardware and sanitary ware industry, vacuum coating technology is widely used for surface treatment of metal parts such as faucets, aiming to improve their appearance and corrosion resistance. However, this process places high demands on the mounting device, especially regarding the stability and surface cleanliness of the workpiece during coating. If the mounting fixture is poorly designed, it can easily cause the faucet to wobble, have unstable contact, or shift during the coating process, leading to quality problems such as uneven coating, color deviation, and peeling.

[0003] Existing hanging fixtures are mostly simple in structure, typically suspending the faucet body only via metal hooks, lacking necessary stabilization and insulation protection measures. These fixtures are often unsuitable for different models and complex structures of faucets, making adjustments difficult and operations cumbersome. When multiple faucets are suspended simultaneously, they are prone to collisions or electric field interference, affecting not only the product appearance but also increasing the defect rate and reducing production efficiency.

[0004] Furthermore, some traditional hangers are inconvenient to operate during product changes or cleaning, lacking a quick assembly / disassembly design, which affects the overall cycle time of the coating production line and the demand for flexible production. Faced with the increasing customization, small batch, and diverse production modes, the versatility and adaptability of existing hangers are clearly insufficient.

[0005] In view of this, the inventor has designed a hanger for a faucet vacuum coating equipment, which leads to this invention. Utility Model Content

[0020] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0021] The fixture for the faucet vacuum coating equipment provided in this embodiment is mainly used for the stable suspension and electric field protection of faucet hardware in the vacuum coating process, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the coating and the yield rate. This fixture is particularly suitable for the flexibility requirements of multi-station, multi-specification faucet coating production lines, and has the advantages of stable structure, strong adaptability, convenient operation, and excellent insulation performance.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixture comprises a main support frame 1, positioning crossbars 2, multiple suspension components 3, insulating bushings 4, and a base assembly 5. The main support frame 1 is preferably a frame structure, made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which is not only high-strength and corrosion-resistant but also suitable for long-term operation in a vacuum environment. The main support frame 1 is designed with standard mounting interfaces, allowing it to be installed in the mounting brackets within vacuum coating equipment for quick clamping and stable fixation.

[0023] The positioning crossbar 2 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the supporting main frame 1 in a horizontal arrangement. It is preferably connected to the main frame by welding, bolting, or locking mechanisms to ensure its strength and stability. Multiple suspension components 3 are distributed on the crossbar, each of which is used to hang one faucet workpiece, enabling simultaneous coating of multiple workpieces. The number and length of the positioning crossbar 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to the product size and quantity to meet the needs of different specifications of equipment and products.

[0024] like Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, each suspension assembly 3 includes two parts: a rotary joint 31 and a hook 32. The rotary joint 31 is installed on the positioning crossbar 2 by snap-fit ​​or thread, allowing the hook 32 to rotate and adjust within a certain angle range around the axis of the crossbar, facilitating the positioning of the faucet at the optimal coating angle for faucets in different installation postures. The rotary joint 31 and the hook 32 are preferably connected by a threaded interface 321, which not only enables quick assembly and replacement, but also allows for the adaptation of faucet workpieces of different shapes by replacing hooks 32 of different specifications.

[0025] The hook 32 has a bent hook structure at its lower part for attaching to the faucet body. The bent hook structure can be U-shaped or L-shaped depending on the faucet shape and is manufactured through machining or cold bending to ensure good load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation. An insulating bushing 4 is provided on the outer surface of the hook 32, especially at the part that directly contacts the faucet. The insulating bushing 4 is preferably a sleeve-shaped structure, and the material can be non-metallic materials with high-temperature stability and insulation, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone, or ceramics. Its installation method can be interference fit, adhesive bonding, or slot fixing. The insulating bushing 4 prevents the metal body of the hook 32 from interfering with the electric field distribution, improving the uniformity of the coating; it also prevents indentations or scratches on the faucet surface due to hard contact with the hook 32, improving the product appearance qualification rate.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to further improve the stability of the hanging installation and reduce undesirable phenomena such as shaking and displacement of the faucet during the coating process, a base assembly 5 is also provided at the bottom of the main support frame 1 of the hanger. The base assembly 5 includes a limiting plate 51 and multiple adjustable support rods 52, preferably four. The limiting plate 51 is installed at the lower end of the main support frame 1 and is integrally connected to the main frame structure. The support rods 52 are located below the limiting plate 51 and their height can be adjusted by a threaded structure or spring loading, which facilitates fine-tuning of the lower support point position according to different faucet lengths, thereby effectively limiting the free shaking of the faucet and providing additional support.

[0027] Furthermore, to accommodate the frequent replacement and maintenance of suspension components 3 during production, the fixture is preferably designed with a modular structure. Each suspension component 3 can be independently installed, removed, and replaced, and the quick-connect structure enables convenient maintenance and flexible use, further improving the overall line operating efficiency. All component surfaces can be treated with anti-corrosion measures as needed, such as anodizing, electrophoretic coating, or powder coating, to adapt to vacuum and high-temperature environments.

[0028] In summary, the faucet vacuum coating fixture provided by this utility model solves the problems of simple structure, poor stability, and low adaptability of existing fixtures, and can effectively improve coating quality, consistency, and production efficiency. Its reasonable structural design and convenient operation make it particularly suitable for widespread application in automated vacuum coating production lines.
