Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating equipment technology, specifically to an electroplating solution dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating, an important branch of modern surface treatment technology, is a precision process that coats a metal surface with another metal or alloy through electrolysis. This technology is widely used in various fields such as automotive manufacturing, electronics, and aerospace. From the exquisite appearance of mobile phone casings to the high-strength protection of aircraft engine components, electroplating plays a crucial role. It not only effectively prevents metals from rusting and corroding due to oxidation, but also significantly improves the wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, and corrosion resistance of materials, while giving products a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, achieving a dual enhancement in both functionality and aesthetics.

[0003] In the entire electroplating production process, the precise addition of the electroplating solution is undoubtedly the core link that determines product quality. The composition ratio, addition volume, and timing of the electroplating solution directly affect the uniformity, density, and adhesion of the coating, thus playing a crucial role in the performance and quality of the final product. However, in actual use, the limitations of the mechanical structure design of traditional electroplating solution dispensers and the complex operation procedures not only increase labor costs and the probability of errors but also reduce production efficiency. In addition, changes in external environmental factors such as temperature and humidity and electromagnetic interference can easily affect the stability of traditional dispensing equipment.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: an electroplating solution dispenser, including a main body 1, an upper cover 2 installed on the top of the main body 1, a replenishment and discharge device 3 installed on the upper cover 2, a heat exchange access device 4 installed in front of the replenishment and discharge device 3, a filling hose 5 installed below the heat exchange access device 4, and a support bracket 6 installed around the filling hose 5.

[0019] The inner and outer sides of the main body 1 are made of different materials. The inner side uses a heat-conducting plate and the outer side uses a heat-insulating plate. At the same time, a heat exchange channel 12 is provided between the heat-conducting plate and the heat-insulating plate.

[0020] In this embodiment, the inner and outer sides of the main body are made of different materials. The inner heat-conducting plate facilitates rapid heat conduction, while the outer heat insulation plate effectively prevents heat leakage. The heat exchange channel between the two can achieve efficient heat exchange. This design can meet the needs of rapid internal heat transfer while avoiding external heat interference, ensuring stable internal temperature of the equipment, improving the equipment's working efficiency and stability, and is suitable for scenarios with high temperature control requirements.

[0021] The main body 1 has a stirring roller 13 below the storage chamber 11, a blade 14 above the stirring roller 13, and a drive motor 15 below the blade 14.

[0022] In this embodiment, a stirring roller is installed below the storage chamber inside the main body. The blades above the roller work in conjunction with the drive motor below to fully stir and mix the materials in the storage chamber, effectively solving problems such as material sedimentation and uneven mixing, and ensuring that the materials in the storage chamber are of uniform properties.

[0023] The main body 1 has a stirring roller 13 below the storage chamber 11, a blade 14 above the stirring roller 13, and a drive motor 15 below the blade 14.

[0024] In this embodiment, the electrically controlled valves in the replenishment and discharge device can achieve automated and precise control, facilitating the replenishment and discharge of materials; the connecting flanges on the transmission pipeline facilitate the quick connection and disassembly of the equipment with other components, improving the efficiency of equipment installation and maintenance; the transparent observation pipeline allows operators to intuitively observe the material flow status and liquid level within the pipeline, making it easier to detect abnormalities in a timely manner and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the equipment.

[0025] The stirring roller 13 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 15 via a coupling, and a sealed bearing is provided at the connection of the shaft.

[0026] In this embodiment, the stirring roller is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor via a coupling, which can effectively compensate for the misalignment between the two shafts and ensure stable power transmission. The sealed bearing installed at the shaft connection can prevent external impurities, liquids, etc. from entering the connection part, avoid component wear, extend the service life of the equipment, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the stirring device.

[0027] The filling hose 5 is connected to the main body 1 via a flange, and the hose is a flexible and fixed pipe similar to a shaped universal hose, which can adjust the filling angle and direction to a certain extent.

[0028] In this embodiment, the filling hose is connected to the main body via a flange, making installation and disassembly convenient. The hose adopts a flexible fixing structure similar to a fixed universal hose, which can flexibly adjust the filling angle and direction, making it suitable for material filling needs at different positions and angles. This increases the flexibility and applicability of the equipment and reduces operational inconvenience caused by limited filling positions.

[0029] Working Principle: In actual use, before starting the equipment, the electrolyte filling operation must be carried out in the storage chamber 11 inside the main body 1 using the replenishment and discharge device 3. Operators should strictly follow the equipment operation manual and observe the electrolyte capacity in the storage chamber 11 in real time through the liquid level monitoring system of device 3 until it reaches a fully filled state, laying the foundation for subsequent operations. It is worth noting that during the electrolyte replenishment process, the sealing of device 3 must be ensured to prevent electrolyte leakage. Information such as the electrolyte type and batch number should be recorded for traceability and management.

[0030] After the storage chamber 11 is filled with electrolyte, it immediately enters the temperature control and stirring stage. The heat exchange channel 12 inside the main body 1, in conjunction with the heat exchange access device 4, performs precise heating or cooling operations on the inner wall of the storage chamber. The temperature control system monitors the electrolyte temperature in real time through a built-in temperature sensor and compares it with a preset suitable temperature range. Once a temperature deviation from the threshold is detected, the heat exchange access device 4 will quickly start, using heat conduction or heat exchange to stabilize the electrolyte temperature within the optimal operating range, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrolyte's physicochemical properties. At the same time, the drive motor 15 will drive the stirring roller 13 to start rotating. The evenly distributed blades 14 above the stirring roller 13 will stir the electrolyte in the storage chamber in all directions at a specific speed and trajectory. This dynamic stirring mode can effectively break the concentration difference of the electrolyte caused by static standing, avoid phenomena such as solute precipitation and solvent stratification, and keep the electrolyte in an ideal state of uniform mixing, providing quality assurance for subsequent filling operations.

[0031] When electrolyte needs to be added to external equipment, operators can make full use of the special design of the filling hose 5. This hose is made of a high-strength and highly flexible composite material, offering flexible adjustment capabilities in multiple angles and directions. Operators can easily adjust the bending angle and extension direction of the filling hose 5 according to the installation location and structural characteristics of the target device, ensuring precise alignment with the filling port. After adjustment, the uniformly mixed and appropriately temperatured electrolyte is injected into the required device through the filling head at the end of the hose at a stable flow rate and pressure. During the filling process, close monitoring of the liquid level changes in the target device is necessary to prevent electrolyte overflow or insufficient filling, ensuring the entire filling operation is completed safely, efficiently, and accurately.
