Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electroplating fixture technology, and specifically relates to a copper tank track for electroplating. Background Technology

[0002] In an electroplating production line, the electroplating rack moving track is a key piece of equipment for realizing automated workpiece transfer. Through the track system, it drives the racks and workpieces to move between tanks of various processes such as degreasing tank, pickling tank, electroplating tank, and cleaning tank along a preset path, ensuring the continuity and stability of the electroplating process.

[0003] In the existing technology, when the hangers move on the track, the distance between adjacent hangers depends entirely on the passive transmission of the conveying system, which cannot achieve active and precise control. This leads to positional interference between adjacent hangers, which in turn causes problems such as conveying congestion and hanger collisions, affecting the efficiency of the electroplating process and the quality of the workpiece.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a copper tank track for electroplating, used to transport electroplating racks. The electroplating racks include a transport section, comprising:

[0006] A conveying component is provided on the conveying unit to enable the electroplating rack to be conveyed laterally;

[0007] The conveying component includes a conveyor belt, on which a timing belt is fitted. The outer circumference of the timing belt is evenly provided with multiple grooves. At least one positioning element is provided on the conveying part, and the free end of the positioning element is used to engage with the groove.

[0008] The positioning element is rotatably mounted on the conveying section so that the angle of the free end of the positioning element is adjustable.

[0009] The positioning element is vertically adjustable on the conveying section and is used to lock and release the engagement with the groove.

[0010] The timing belt has a scale that matches the groove, and pointers are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor section, with the pointers matching the scale.

[0011] Both the conveyor belt and the timing belt have through holes so that they can be bolted together and fixed.

[0012] The conveyor belt can be replaced by a chain. The chain itself has holes, and the timing belt has through holes. The timing belt is fixed by threaded connection through the through holes and the holes in the chain itself.

[0013] A synchronous belt consists of multiple interconnected segments.

[0014] A flexible synchronous pressure plate is installed between two adjacent connecting sections, and the flexible synchronous pressure plate is bolted to the connecting section.

[0015] It also includes a track, on which the conveying components are mounted.

[0016] Multiple rollers are evenly arranged on the conveyor section, and the rollers can contact the track.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention uses the snap-fit ​​fixing of positioning components and grooves to position and install multiple electroplating racks equipped with positioning components onto a synchronous belt. The spacing between two adjacent electroplating racks can be adjusted as required so that when the drive component drives the conveyor component and the synchronous belt to rotate and move, the electroplating racks will follow. Due to the positioning effect of the positioning components, the spacing between the electroplating racks will never change, thus achieving precise spacing between the electroplating racks and avoiding interference and collisions caused by uncontrolled spacing during movement.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the appendices of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown:

[0027] This embodiment provides a copper plating tank track for conveying electroplating fixtures. The electroplating fixtures include a conveying section 1, on which a plurality of rollers 10 are evenly arranged. The copper plating tank track includes a track 9, on which the rollers 10 can contact the track 9 so that the conveying section 1 can move stably along the length of the track 9. A conveying component 2 is provided on the track 9.

[0028] The conveying component 2 includes a conveyor belt, on which a synchronous belt 3 is fitted. The outer circumferential surface of the synchronous belt 3 is evenly provided with multiple grooves 4. The conveying part 1 is provided with at least one positioning element 5, which is inclined and whose free end is used to engage with the groove 4.

[0029] When there are four positioning elements 5:

[0030] Four positioning elements 5 are symmetrically distributed on the conveying section 1. By engaging and fixing the positioning elements 5 with the grooves 4, multiple electroplating hangers equipped with positioning elements 5 are positioned and installed on the synchronous belt 3. The spacing between two adjacent electroplating hangers can be adjusted as required so that when the driving component drives the conveying component 2 (the conveying component 2 is a conveyor belt) to rotate and move, and the synchronous belt 3 rotates and moves synchronously, the electroplating hangers are driven to move accordingly. Due to the positioning effect of the positioning elements 5, the spacing between the electroplating hangers will never change, thereby achieving precise spacing between the electroplating hangers and avoiding interference and collisions caused by uncontrolled spacing during movement.

[0031] It should be noted that the above description only states that there are four positioning elements 5. However, in actual use, the number of positioning elements 5 can be set according to the specific implementation method to stabilize the conveying part 1 of the electroplating fixture.

[0032] The synchronous belt 3 is equipped with a scale that matches the groove 4. The conveyor 1 is symmetrically equipped with pointers on both sides. The pointers are matched with the scale. When the hanger moves, the operator can intuitively judge the current position of the electroplating hanger by the correspondence between the pointers on both sides of the hanger and the scale of the synchronous belt 3.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, both the conveyor belt and the synchronous belt 3 have through holes 6. By passing bolts through the through holes 6 and tightening the nuts, the synchronous belt 3 is fixed to the conveyor belt. The bolt connection ensures that the synchronous belt 3 fits tightly with the conveying component 2, preventing the synchronous belt 3 from shifting or falling off during high-speed movement, ensuring the stability of power transmission, and indirectly maintaining the accuracy of the fixture spacing.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the synchronous belt 3 includes multiple connecting segments 7 connected in sequence. A flexible synchronous pressure plate 8 is provided between two adjacent connecting segments 7. The flexible synchronous pressure plate 8 is bolted to the connecting segment 7. When the conveying component 2 drives the synchronous belt 3 through the curved section, the segmented structure allows the synchronous belt 3 to bend flexibly with the curved path, avoiding uneven stress at the bending point due to "excessive rigidity" of the entire synchronous belt 3, thereby reducing the problems of cracking and breakage of the synchronous belt 3 and extending its service life.

[0035] Meanwhile, if a section of the connecting segment 7 is partially damaged, the damaged connecting segment 7 can be replaced simply by removing the corresponding flexible synchronous pressure plate 8, without having to replace the entire synchronous belt 3, thus further reducing maintenance costs.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] The conveyor belt can be replaced by a chain. The chain itself has holes. By utilizing the holes in the chain links, through holes 6 are opened at corresponding positions on the synchronous belt 3. Bolts are passed through the chain link holes and the through holes 6 of the synchronous belt 3 to achieve fixation.

[0038] Example 3, as Figure 1-3 As shown:

[0039] The positioning element 5 is rotatably mounted on the conveying part 1 so that the angle of the free end of the positioning element 5 is adjustable. The tilt angle of each positioning element 5 can be different, so as to adapt to the synchronous belt 3 of different tracks 9 and the groove 4 of different sizes, so that the positioning element 5 can be fitted into the groove 4 to position the conveying part 1 of the electroplating fixture.

[0040] Example 4, as Figure 1-3 As shown:

[0041] Furthermore, the positioning element 5 is vertically adjustable on the conveyor section 1. This design allows for adjustments to the spacing between adjacent electroplating racks. First, the positioning element 5 can be manually or by using a drive mechanism to move upwards, disengaging its free end from the groove 4 and releasing the linkage between the electroplating rack and the synchronous belt 3. Once the desired spacing is achieved, the positioning element 5 can be manually or by using a drive mechanism to move downwards back to its original position and re-engage into the corresponding groove 4, completing the spacing adjustment. This improves the practicality of the device, enabling quick and easy spacing adjustments.

[0042] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0043] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
