The hanger mechanism is grasped by the robotic arm and moved between electroplating tanks. The hanger mechanism is placed on the conductive base by the robotic arm for electroplating. However, the hanger mechanism generally uses a lifting ring for hanging electroplating fixtures. This structure requires an additional clamping mechanism to fix the electroplating fixtures and prevent them from swinging during movement, which would affect the electroplating process. This structure has the disadvantages of being complex and having high production costs. Utility Model Content

The conductive seats 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the electroplating tank 2 and are used for placing the hanging mechanism 3. The hanging mechanism 3 includes: 31 crossbeams; Several lifting rings 32 are rotatably mounted on the crossbeam 31; Several electroplating hangers 33 are mounted on the hanging rings 32; The lifting ring 32 is provided with a limiting groove 39 adapted to the electroplating fixture. In this technical solution, the drive mechanism uses a robotic arm to grasp the hanging mechanism, enabling it to move in and out of multiple electroplating tanks through lifting motion. According to the requirements of the electroplating process, the conductive seat is placed on the upper edge of the corresponding electroplating tank. The first drive mechanism drives the robotic arm to place the hanging mechanism on the conductive seat. Then, the robotic arm on the first drive mechanism releases the hanging mechanism and returns. The robotic arm on the second drive mechanism grasps the hanging mechanism on the conductive seat and transfers it to the next conductive seat and returns. The subsequent robotic arms repeat the same action. This method has the advantages of high work efficiency and good work stability. In addition, the electroplating fixture is mounted on the lifting ring, and the limiting groove 39 restricts the electroplating fixture to prevent it from swinging during movement. It has the advantages of simple structure and low production cost. In the electroplating tank between two adjacent conductive seats, the robotic arm on the drive mechanism will lift and lower the hanging frame mechanism according to the actual work requirements. The electroplating rack can be rotated in both directions by the lifting ring, and both the lifting ring and the electroplating rack are electrically connected.

The upper end of the lifting ring is provided with a fixed shaft that is rotating and fixedly connected to the wire. A bearing is provided between the fixed shaft and the lifting ring, so the two can rotate together.

The conductive copper plate is connected to an external power source.
[0020] The crossbeam 31 is provided with a plurality of first driving components 34 that are linked to the lifting ring 32.

The lifting frame 41 is provided with a hook 42 corresponding to the crossbeam 31 and a second drive member 43 that cooperates with the hook 42 to clamp and fix the crossbeam 31. The hook on the lifting frame passes through the bottom of the crossbeam and hooks the crossbeam. Then the second drive member cooperates with the frame to clamp and fix the crossbeam to prevent the crossbeam from falling off the lifting frame. The second drive member is a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or linear motor.
[0023] The drive mechanism 6 includes: A first mounting plate 61 is slidably mounted on the bracket 1; A lateral drive assembly is mounted on a first mounting plate 61 and drives the first mounting plate 61 to slide laterally.
