Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a storage and feeding device for electroplated parts. Background Technology

[0002] In the electroplating process, the continuity of the material storage and loading processes directly affects production efficiency. In existing technologies, electroplating parts storage often employs a single-box static storage structure. During unloading, manual tilting of the box or an additional independent drive mechanism is required to control its tilt. This has the following drawbacks: the storage and unloading actions are disconnected; the single box cannot simultaneously prepare for storage during unloading, resulting in significant discontinuity in loading and making it unsuitable for the continuous processing needs of batch electroplated parts. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the defects of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a material storage and feeding device for electroplated parts. A material storage and feeding device for electroplated parts includes a frame and a first material box disposed on the frame. The device further includes a second material box disposed on the frame. The first and second material boxes are rotatably disposed on the frame. The frame is provided with sliders that can move up and down relative to the sliders, and a driving component that drives the sliders to move up and down. A first transmission component is provided between the sliders and the first material box. The first transmission component drives the first material box to rotate relative to the frame as the sliders move up and down, causing the first material box to rotate above the second material box and tilt the material inside downwards. The material is poured into the second material box; a second transmission component is provided between the slider and the second material box, which drives the second material box to tilt and swing relative to the frame as the slider moves up and down. The second material box includes a bottom plate and a U-shaped limiting plate surrounding the upper part of the bottom plate. When the second material box swings and tilts downward toward the first material box, the material in the inner cavity of the second material box is in a receiving state limited and abutted by the U-shaped limiting plate. When the second material box swings and tilts downward in the opposite direction to the first material box, the material in the inner cavity of the second material box is in a discharging state where it tilts and falls from the opening end of the U-shaped limiting plate.

[0004] In one embodiment, the first transmission component includes a chain and a sprocket. The sprocket is rotatably mounted on the frame and located above the first material box. The two ends of the chain are respectively provided with a first hinge and a second hinge. The first hinge is hinged to the lower part of the first material box, and the second hinge is hinged to the slider. The chain abuts against the upper side of the sprocket.

[0005] In one embodiment, the second transmission member includes a connecting rod hinged between the slider and the second hopper.

[0006] In one embodiment, the drive element is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0007] In one embodiment, the frame is provided with a vertical guide shaft, and the slider is movably sleeved on the vertical guide shaft via a linear bearing.

[0008] In one embodiment, a tensioning wheel is rotatably mounted on the frame on one side of the sprocket. The tensioning wheel and the sprocket are on the same horizontal plane, and the chain abuts against the lower side of the tensioning wheel. The rims of both the sprocket and the tensioning wheel are provided with limiting teeth that are adapted to the chain.

[0009] In one embodiment, the frame is provided with a first limiting block and a second limiting block for limiting the swing limit position of the second material box; when the second material box is in the receiving state, its outer side wall abuts against the first limiting block; when the second material box is in the unloading state, its outer side wall abuts against the second limiting block.

[0010] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are: This invention utilizes the coordinated action of the first and second material bins. When the first material bin tilts and pours out materials, the second material bin is in a U-shaped limiting plate-controlled receiving state, allowing for rapid material reception. When the first material bin resets to store materials, the second material bin can simultaneously tilt in the opposite direction to unload, forming a continuous cycle of "storage-receiving-unloading." This completely solves the problem of intermittent material loading in traditional single-bin structures and is suitable for the continuous processing needs of batch electroplated parts. Furthermore, by using only a single hydraulic cylinder to drive the slider to rise and fall, the first and second transmission components can control the tilting of the first and second material bins respectively, eliminating the need for multiple independent drive mechanisms. This significantly simplifies the mechanical structure and control logic of the equipment, reducing manufacturing costs, assembly difficulty, and subsequent maintenance failure rates.

Detailed Implementation

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figures 1 to 3The present invention preferably provides an electroplating part storage and feeding device, including a frame 1 and a first material box 2 disposed on the frame 1, and a second material box 3 disposed on the frame 1. The first material box 2 and the second material box 3 are respectively rotatably disposed on the frame 1. The frame 1 is respectively provided with a slider 4 that can move up and down relative to it, and a driving member 5 that can drive the slider 4 to move up and down. A first transmission member 6 is disposed between the slider 4 and the first material box 2. The first transmission member 6 drives the first material box 2 to flip relative to the frame 1 as the slider 4 moves up and down, so that the first material box 2 flips to above the second material box 3 and the contents inside are placed on top of it. The material is tilted downwards and poured into the second material box 3; a second transmission component 7 is provided between the slider 4 and the second material box 3. The second transmission component 7 drives the second material box 3 to tilt and swing relative to the frame 1 as the slider 4 moves up and down. The second material box 3 includes a bottom plate 31 and a U-shaped limiting plate 32 surrounding the upper side of the bottom plate 31. When the second material box 3 swings downwards towards the first material box 2, the material in the inner cavity of the second material box 3 is in a receiving state where it is limited and abutted by the U-shaped limiting plate 32. When the second material box 3 swings downwards in a direction opposite to the first material box 2, the material in the inner cavity of the second material box 3 is in a discharging state where it tilts and falls from the opening end of the U-shaped limiting plate 32.

[0013] Specifically, in the initial receiving state, the driving component (cylinder or hydraulic cylinder) is in the extended state, and the slider is located at the top. At this time, the first transmission component pulls the first material box to maintain a horizontal storage state, while the second transmission component pushes the second material box to put it in a downward unloading state that is opposite to the first material box. The unloading process of the first material box: the driving component (cylinder or hydraulic cylinder) retracts and moves downward, pushing the slider downward. The slider lifts the first material box upward through the first transmission component, causing the first material box to rotate around its axis towards the second material box. The electroplated parts in the first material box tilt into the second material box, which is in a receiving state, under the action of gravity. At this time, the second transmission component drives the second material box to swing as the slider moves, causing the closed side of the U-shaped limiting plate to tilt downward toward the first material box. The material is received in the cavity enclosed by the U-shaped limiting plate and the bottom plate, and is in a limited receiving state. The unloading process of the second material box: After the material in the first material box has been emptied, the control drive component (cylinder or hydraulic cylinder) is reset to the extended state, and the slider is reset upward. At this time, the second transmission component pulls the second material box to tilt downward around its rotation axis away from the direction of the first material box. The opening end of the U-shaped limit plate faces downward, and the electroplated parts in the cavity tilt and fall to the subsequent conveying mechanism along the opening end, completing the unloading action. At the same time, the first transmission component pulls the first material box to reset to the horizontal storage state, and the next round of storage preparation can be carried out.

[0014] Furthermore, the first transmission component 6 includes a chain 61 and a sprocket 62. The sprocket 62 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 and located above the first material box 2. The two ends of the chain 61 are respectively provided with a first hinge 63 and a second hinge 64. The first hinge 63 is hinged to the lower part of the first material box 2, and the second hinge 64 is hinged to the slider 4. The chain 61 is engaged with the upper side of the sprocket 62.

[0015] Specifically, during the downward movement of the slider, the second hinge of the first transmission component is simultaneously driven downward, causing the chain to slide along the upper side of the sprocket and generate tension. Since the other end of the chain is connected to the lower part of the first material box through the first hinge, and the sprocket is fixed to the frame, the tension is transmitted to the lower part of the first material box through the chain, driving the first material box to rotate upward around its rotation axis with the frame. As the slider continues to move downward, the rotation angle of the first material box gradually increases until its opening tilts downward to directly above the second material box, and the electroplated parts inside are evenly poured into the second material box, which is in a receiving state, under the action of gravity.

[0016] Furthermore, the second transmission component 7 includes a connecting rod 71, which is hinged between the slider 4 and the second material box 3.

[0017] Specifically, the connecting rod causes the slider to move up and down, which in turn causes the second material box to swing relative to the frame. When the slider is driven to move upward, the connecting rod pulls the second material box so that the open end of the U-shaped limiting plate in the second material box tilts downward, and the second material box is in the unloading state. Conversely, when the slider is driven to move downward, the connecting rod presses down on the second material box so that the closed end of the U-shaped limiting plate in the second material box tilts downward, and the second material box is in the receiving state.

[0018] Furthermore, the driving component 5 is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0019] Furthermore, the frame 1 is provided with a vertical guide shaft 11, and the slider 4 is movably sleeved on the vertical guide shaft 11 via a linear bearing.

[0020] Furthermore, a tensioning wheel 12 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 on one side of the sprocket 62. The tensioning wheel 12 and the sprocket 62 are on the same horizontal plane, and the chain 61 abuts against the lower side of the tensioning wheel 12. Both the sprocket 62 and the tensioning wheel 12 have limiting teeth on their rims that are adapted to the chain 61. Specifically, the tensioning wheel and the sprocket are on the same horizontal plane, and the chain abuts against the lower side of the tensioning wheel, which can compensate for the slack of the chain during transmission in real time. With the limiting teeth on the rims of both wheels, the chain is prevented from disengaging from the sprocket, ensuring the precise and controllable tilting action of the first material box.

[0021] Furthermore, the frame 1 is provided with a first limiting block 13 and a second limiting block 14 for limiting the swing limit position of the second material box 3; when the second material box 3 is in the receiving state, its outer side wall abuts against the first limiting block 13; when the second material box 3 is in the unloading state, its outer side wall abuts against the second limiting block 14.
