Detailed Implementation

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the product of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0019] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element; when an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a segmented electroplating device for electroplating superhard materials includes a rotary drive mechanism 1, a conversion structure 2, an electroplating fixture 3, a fixture rotation shaft 4, and a support base 5. The output end of the rotary drive mechanism 1 is connected to the conversion structure 2, one end of the conversion structure 2 is connected to the fixture rotation shaft 4, and the other end of the fixture rotation shaft 4 is connected to the support base 5. The electroplating fixture 3 is mounted on the fixture rotation shaft 4. The rotary drive mechanism 1 includes a drive component 10, a gear assembly 11, and a rotation shaft 12. The output end of the drive component 10 is connected to the gear assembly 11, the output end of the gear assembly 11 is connected to the rotation shaft 12, and the end of the rotation shaft 12 away from the gear assembly 11 is connected to the conversion structure 2.

[0022] It should be noted that the rotary drive mechanism 1 provides driving force, is connected to the electroplating fixture 3 through the conversion structure 2, and drives the fixture rotation shaft 4 to rotate, thereby enabling the electroplating fixture 3 to rotate automatically, so as to achieve uniform plating thickness at each point of each plated part. That is, it can achieve the same electroplating layer thickness and product size for multiple products of the same electroplating fixture 3, realize fully automated operation, reduce manual intervention in the production process, and has strong practicality.

[0023] It should be further explained that in the electroplating process, after pre-plating and sand embedding, the thickening plating process begins. The diamond is no longer stirred; electroplating continues only after the plating solution has settled. The purpose is to allow the nickel plating layer to continuously thicken until the abrasive grains are embedded to approximately one-third of their height. During this process, the plating thickness will be achieved at different times for different parts of the device. The areas that reach the required thickness first are adjusted using a segmented electroplating production device to prevent them from contacting the plating solution, thus stopping the thickening process. The remaining areas that have not yet reached the required thickness continue to be plated until the entire device is fully plated to achieve the desired effect. The entire electroplating fixture can plate fifty products, ensuring a more uniform plating layer on each product.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the gear assembly 11 includes a first rotating shaft 111, a driving gear 112 and a driven gear 113.

The driving helical gear 115 meshes with the driven helical gear 116. One end of the third rotating shaft 117 is connected to the driven helical gear 116, and the other end of the third rotating shaft 117 is connected to the rotating shaft 12.

[0026] It should be noted that, with the cooperation of the driving gear 112, driven gear 113, driving helical gear 115 and driven helical gear 116, the electroplating fixture 3 is rotated through the meshing transmission between the gears. The gear transmission has the characteristics of smooth transmission and stable rotation, which reduces the speed of the electroplating fixture 3 and ensures the stability of the electroplating fixture 3 during rotation.

[0033] It should be further explained that the number of product placement holes 31 in the electroplating fixture 3 of this embodiment is fifty or more, which can achieve a consistent electroplating layer thickness for 350 products in the same electroplating fixture, greatly saving manpower and time, and improving overall work efficiency.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the fixture rotating shaft 4 is provided with an internal threaded connection part, and the fixture through hole 30 is provided with an external threaded connection part.
