Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic feeding machines, and is an automatic feeding machine suitable for continuous electroplating of multiple rolls of materials. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of another metal or alloy onto the surface of certain metals using the principle of electrolysis. It utilizes electrolysis to coat the surface of metal or other materials with a metallic film, thereby preventing metal oxidation (such as rust), improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (e.g., copper sulfate), and enhancing aesthetics. Continuous electroplating, also known as roll-to-roll electroplating, although still electroplating, allows for continuous processing of metals, thus improving efficiency and ensuring quality. The raw material is typically in strip form that can be rolled up, and it is mainly used for electroplating thin sheets, metal wires, and strips, holding an extremely important position in industry. Continuous electroplating technology is used for products such as copper sheets, iron wires, steel strips, and continuously stamped products.

[0003] In the continuous electroplating process, the material feeding is often stopped and the material is cut. After cutting, the material will be fed out due to inertia, which can easily damage the material and increase the processing cost. Therefore, an automatic feeding machine suitable for continuous electroplating of multiple rolls of material was designed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an automatic feeding machine suitable for continuous electroplating of multiple rolls of materials, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

The fixing component includes a support arm, which is fixedly connected to the base. The support arm has several slots, and a sliding rod is provided in each slot. A connecting rod is connected to the sliding rod, and a pressure roller is connected to the other end of the connecting rod. The pressure roller is located above the fixed shaft.

[0006] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a limiting rod, one end of which is located inside the sleeve and threadedly connected to the sleeve, and the other end of which is connected to a baffle.

[0007] Furthermore, the baffle is provided with two extension plates, which are located on both sides of the limiting rod. Each extension plate is provided with a threaded hole, and a threaded rod is provided in the threaded hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting rod is provided with an elongated opening, and the feeding cylinder is provided with a through hole, allowing the threaded rod to pass through both the limiting rod and the feeding cylinder simultaneously.

[0009] Furthermore, a buffer assembly is provided next to the feeding assembly, the buffer assembly including a tension roller, which is fixedly connected to the fixed plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a support is provided above the base, and the support consists of two pillars with an auxiliary roller between the pillars.

[0011] Furthermore, the slot is provided with two connecting blocks, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot and the connecting rod respectively, and a spring is fixedly connected between the connecting blocks.

[0012] Furthermore, short rods are connected to both ends of the roller shaft of the pressure roller, and the other end of the short rods is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0019] A fixed plate 2 is provided above the base 1. The feeding assembly is located on the fixed plate 2. The feeding assembly includes a fixed shaft 3. The fixed plate 2 has several through holes. Bearings are installed in the through holes. The fixed shaft 3 passes through the bearings and is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearings. A counterweight 4 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 3. The number of counterweights 4 can be set according to specific conditions. One end of the fixed shaft 3 is connected to a clamping plate 5. The clamping plate 5 is fixedly installed with the fixed shaft 3. The counterweight 4 and the clamping plate 5 are located on both sides of the fixed plate 2. A sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 5. The sleeve 6 is provided with reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs are used to stabilize the sleeve 6 and prevent the sleeve 6 from bending due to gravity. A feeding cylinder 7 is provided on the outside of the sleeve 6. The material is sleeved on the feeding cylinder 7. In order to install materials of different sizes, a locking assembly is provided on the sleeve 6. The locking assembly includes a limiting rod 8, one end of which is located inside the sleeve 6. The limiting rod 8 and the sleeve 6 are connected by threads. Rotating the limiting rod 8 allows it to move within the sleeve 6. A baffle 9 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the limiting rod 8 on the sleeve 6. Two extension plates 10 are provided on the baffle 9, which are perpendicular to each other. The baffle 9 is located on both sides of the limiting rod 8. Threaded holes are provided on the two baffles 9, and threaded rods 11 are provided in the threaded holes. The feeding cylinder 7 has a through hole, and the limiting rod 8 has an elongated opening. The threaded rod 11 can pass through both the feeding cylinder 7 and the limiting rod 8 simultaneously. A handle is provided at one end of the threaded rod 11, and a nut 12 is provided at the other end. The threaded rod 11 can fix the feeding cylinder 7 and the limiting rod 8 together to prevent material shaking during feeding. A buffer assembly is provided next to the feeding assembly to prevent the material from breaking or deforming under force during the feeding process, thereby affecting the electroplating effect. The buffer assembly includes a tension roller 13. Two tension rollers 13 are grouped together and located on one side of the fixed shaft 3. A bracket is provided above the base 1. The bracket is composed of two pillars 14. An auxiliary roller 15 is provided between the pillars 14. The number of auxiliary rollers 15 is the same as the number of feeding assemblies. When cutting materials, the materials are fixed by a fixing assembly, which includes a support arm 16. The lower end of the support arm 16 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The support arm 16 is provided with several connecting rods 17, one end of which is connected to the support arm 16. The support arm 16 is provided with several slots, and a sliding rod 18 is provided in each slot. The sliding rod 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot. The connecting rod 17 is provided with a through hole, and the sliding rod 18 can pass through the through hole to allow the connecting rod 17 to flip on the sliding rod 18. Two connecting blocks 19 are provided in each slot, and one connecting block 19 is connected to the slot. The inner wall of the trough is fixedly connected, and another connecting block 19 is connected to the connecting rod 17. A spring 20 is provided between the connecting blocks 19. The two ends of the spring 20 are fixedly connected to the two connecting blocks 19 respectively. The other end of the connecting rod 17 is connected to a pressure roller 21. The pressure roller 21 is sleeved on the roller shaft. The two ends of the roller shaft are connected to short rods 22. The other end of the short rods 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 17. When working, the surface of the pressure roller 21 is in contact with the material. When the thickness of the material gradually decreases, the spring 20 presses down the connecting rod 17, thereby pressing down the pressure roller 21 and keeping the material in a wound state. Working principle: Before electroplating, the material is first rolled onto the feeding cylinder 7, then the feeding cylinder 7 is fitted onto the sleeve 6. The position of the limiting rod 8 is adjusted, and the feeding cylinder 7 is fixed to the feeding assembly by the threaded rod 11. Then, the pressure roller 21 on the fixing assembly is placed above the material roll, and it is pressed down by the spring 20 and its own weight. When the material is cut, the residual force will not cause the material to bounce away, thus preventing damage to the material or the operator. The material on the feeding cylinder 7 passes through the corresponding tension roller 13 and auxiliary roller 15 in sequence. The material can be pulled by an additional receiving mechanism, thereby realizing the electroplating process.
