Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electroplating fixture technology, and specifically relates to a fixture replacement device. Background Technology

[0002] In the electroplating production process, the electroplating rack is a core component that holds the workpiece and moves it between different processes; its condition directly affects electroplating efficiency and product quality. In existing technologies, electroplating racks are prone to various abnormalities after long-term use, such as wear on pulleys causing movement jams, loose clamps preventing workpiece clamping, non-conductive clamps affecting electroplating results, rack damage, or abnormal shape.

[0003] However, there is currently no suitable electroplating rack adjustment device in the industry. When the electroplating racks exhibit the above-mentioned abnormalities, it is impossible to remove or replace the abnormal electroplating racks in a timely manner. This will not only lead to the interruption of the electroplating production line and reduce production efficiency, but may also increase production costs due to the unqualified processing of workpieces carried by the abnormal electroplating racks, making it difficult to meet the needs of continuous industrial production.

[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 is a hanger replacement device for testing electroplating hangers, including a main fixed track, a movable track, a lifting mechanism, a secondary track, a pushing mechanism, and a proximity switch;

[0006] The main fixed track is used for the sequential directional movement of multiple electroplating fixtures, and the main fixed track is provided with at least one disconnectable section. The movable track is slidably mounted on the lifting mechanism, and the movable track is located within the disconnectable section.

[0007] The lifting mechanism corresponds to the disconnectable area. The lifting mechanism is used to move the movable track up and down so that the movable track corresponds to the main fixed track or the auxiliary track.

[0008] The secondary tracks include an abnormal fixture storage track and a normal fixture storage track, which are used to store abnormal electroplating fixtures and normal electroplating fixtures that need to be replenished, respectively.

[0009] The pushing mechanism is set on the abnormal hanger storage track, the normal hanger storage track and the movable track, and is used to drive the electroplating hangers to move on each track.

[0010] The proximity switch is installed on the lifting frame to detect whether the movable track corresponds to the auxiliary track or the main fixed track.

[0011] It also includes a control unit, which is electrically connected to the lifting mechanism, the pushing mechanism and the proximity switch, respectively, and is used to receive detection signals and control the actions of each actuator.

[0012] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting drive component, a lifting rail is mounted on the lifting drive component, a lifting frame is slidably mounted on the lifting rail, the lifting frame is fixedly connected to the movable rail, and the lifting drive component is used to drive the movable rail to move up and down along the lifting rail.

[0013] Sensors are installed on both the abnormal hanger storage track and the normal hanger storage track. The sensors are used to detect the quantity and position of the electroplating hangers.

[0014] Multiple movable tracks can be set in a disconnectable area so that when one movable track is opposite to the secondary track, another movable track can be opposite to the main fixed track.

[0015] The spacing between two adjacent movable tracks in the detachable area is the same as the spacing between the main fixed track and the secondary track.

[0016] The main fixed track and the auxiliary track push the electroplating fixture to move in the same direction.

[0017] The abnormal fixture storage track moves the electroplating fixtures in the same direction as the normal fixture storage track.

[0018] Normal fixture storage tracks can be replaced with abnormal fixture tracks.

[0019] Electroplating racks can be replenished directly via the main fixed track.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This utility model, through the cooperation of a lifting mechanism and a movable track, can quickly drive the movable track to dock with the auxiliary track when an abnormal electroplating rack is detected, completing the transfer of the abnormal electroplating rack and the replenishment of the normal electroplating rack. Furthermore, multiple movable tracks are set through a disconnectable area. When one movable track handles an abnormal electroplating rack, another movable track can dock with the main fixed track, ensuring that normal electroplating racks on the main track continuously pass through the disconnectable area. This achieves continuous processing of electroplating rack detection, significantly reduces process interruption time, and significantly improves overall detection and conveying efficiency, meeting the needs of large-scale, high-paced production detection.

[0022] 2. This utility model uses sensors to monitor in real time the quantity and position of electroplating fixtures placed on the abnormal fixture storage track and the normal fixture storage track. At the same time, the abnormal fixture storage track and the normal fixture storage track can be flexibly switched for different purposes. When the abnormal fixture storage track is full, the control unit can instruct the abnormal electroplating fixtures to be temporarily stored on the normal fixture storage track, breaking the limitation of a single track function. Whether the storage volume of abnormal electroplating fixtures suddenly increases or the detection process needs to be temporarily adjusted, the device can quickly adapt to meet diverse production and detection scenarios, thereby improving the applicability and practical value of the device.

[0023] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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 accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-2 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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown:

[0029] This embodiment provides a hanger replacement device for detecting electroplating hangers, including a main fixed track 1, a movable track 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a secondary track 4, a pushing mechanism 5, and a proximity switch 6;

[0030] The main fixed track 1 is used for the sequential directional movement of multiple electroplating fixtures, and the main fixed track 1 is provided with at least one section of disconnectable area. The movable track 2 is slidably mounted on the lifting mechanism 3, and the movable track 2 is located within the disconnectable area.

[0031] The lifting mechanism 3 corresponds to the disconnectable area and is used to drive the movable track 2 to move up and down so that the movable track 2 corresponds to the main fixed track 1 or the auxiliary track 4. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting drive component 302, a lifting track 303 is installed on the lifting drive component 302, and a lifting frame 301 is slidably installed on the lifting track 303. The lifting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the movable track 2. The lifting drive component 302 is used to drive the movable track 2 to move up and down along the lifting track 303. The lifting track 303 can limit the movable track 2 to always move vertically up and down.

[0032] Sub-track 4 includes abnormal fixture storage track 7 and normal fixture storage track 8, which are used to store abnormal electroplating fixtures and normal electroplating fixtures that need to be replenished, respectively.

[0033] The pushing mechanism 5 is set on the abnormal hanger storage track 7, the normal hanger storage track 8 and the movable track 2, and is used to drive the electroplating hanger to move on each track. The pushing mechanism 5 includes, but is not limited to, a push rod.

[0034] There are two proximity switches 6, both of which are installed on the lifting frame 301, used to detect whether the movable track 2 corresponds to the auxiliary track 4 or the main fixed track 1.

[0035] It also includes a control unit, which is electrically connected to the lifting mechanism 3, the pushing mechanism 5 and the proximity switch 6 respectively, and is used to receive detection signals and control the actions of each actuator.

[0036] The main fixed track 1 and the auxiliary track 4 push the electroplating racks in the same direction; the abnormal rack storage track 7 and the normal rack storage track 8 push the electroplating racks in the same direction.

[0037] In actual use, multiple electroplating racks are driven sequentially on the main fixed track 1, with the top of the racks moving in a directional direction. An external detection device is used to detect whether there are any abnormalities in the electroplating racks (the external detection device can be a vision system that captures images, a laser rangefinder, or a manual assessment of whether the electroplating racks are abnormal). The external detection device is also electrically connected to the control unit. If the electroplating racks are detected to be normal, the control unit will send a command to drive the lifting drive 302, thereby driving the movable track 2 to move along the lifting track 303. Through the control and sensing of the proximity switch 6, it is confirmed that the movable track 2 has successfully docked with the main fixed track 1. The lifting drive 302 stops driving the movable track 2 to move. At this time, the normal electroplating racks pass through the disconnectable area of ​​the main fixed track 1 via the movable track 2, allowing the electroplating racks to pass normally.

[0038] When an abnormality is detected in the electroplating rack, such as wobbling during movement (wearing or jamming of pulleys), inability to adjust the length or width of the rack, irregular shape, damage, inability to clamp the workpiece (loose or broken clamps), or non-conductive clamps, the movable electroplating rack will be moved to the movable track 2 (at this time, the movable track 2 is docked with the main fixed track 1). Then, the control unit will send a command to drive the lifting drive component 302, thereby driving the movable track 2 to move downwards along the lifting track 303. Through the control sensing of the proximity switch 6, the movable track 2 is confirmed to be docked with the main fixed track 1. Once the secondary track 4 is successfully docked, the lifting drive 302 stops moving the movable track 2. Then, the pushing mechanism 5 pushes the abnormal electroplating fixture on the movable track 2 to the abnormal fixture storage track 7, and pushes it to the preset position. Then, the pushing mechanism 5 pushes the normal electroplating fixture that has been placed on the normal fixture storage track 8 to the movable track 2. (It should be noted that the pushing mechanism 5 is controlled and driven by the control unit.) Finally, the lifting drive 302 drives the movable track 2 to reconnect with the main fixed track 1, and transports the replaced normal electroplating fixture to the main fixed track 1.

[0039] This allows the device to autonomously transfer and centrally store abnormal electroplating racks, while simultaneously replenishing normal electroplating racks, ensuring uninterrupted transport on the main fixed track 1, enabling continuous processing, reducing manual intervention, and improving processing efficiency.

[0040] Example 2, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown;

[0041] Multiple movable tracks 2 can be set in a disengageable area so that when one movable track 2 is opposite to the secondary track 4, another movable track 2 can be opposite to the main fixed track 1. The spacing between two adjacent movable tracks 2 in the disengageable area is the same as the spacing between the main fixed track 1 and the secondary track 4.

[0042] To improve the continuity of inspection and prevent the normal electroplating racks on the main fixed track 1 from still being able to pass through the disconnectable area and complete the inspection when the electroplating racks are replaced.

[0043] Example 3, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown;

[0044] Sensors 9 are installed on both the abnormal fixture storage track 7 and the normal fixture storage track 8. Sensors 9 are used to sense the quantity and position of electroplating fixtures. When the abnormal fixture storage track 7 is full, sensor 9 can send a signal to the control unit, which will then notify the operator to remove the abnormal electroplating fixture.

[0045] Normal fixture storage track 8 can be replaced with abnormal fixture storage track. At the same time, when abnormal fixture storage track 7 is full, the control unit can send a command to temporarily place abnormal electroplating fixtures in normal fixture storage track 8. At this time, normal fixture storage track 8 becomes abnormal fixture storage track 7, and normal electroplating fixtures are no longer replaced on movable track 2. Normal electroplating fixtures are directly replenished through the main fixed track 1, achieving flexible switching between the two storage tracks to adapt to various testing scenarios.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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.
