Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating of small parts, specifically to the field of cleaning parts before electroplating, and particularly to an ultrasonic cleaning device for nickel plating. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is used in the production and processing of small parts for digital products such as mobile phones and smartwatches. For example, mobile phone camera decorative rings, middle frames, terminals, USB-C interface accessories, etc., and smartwatch cases, lugs, sensor bases, charging contacts, etc., all require electroplating during processing.

[0003] In existing technologies, spare parts need to be cleaned before electroplating. A common cleaning method is ultrasonic cleaning, which involves placing a batch of spare parts into an ultrasonic device and using ultrasonic waves to generate physical action in the liquid to efficiently and thoroughly clean the surface of the object. While this method can achieve efficient and thorough cleaning, it still has some shortcomings. Specifically, currently, a batch of spare parts is usually poured directly into the cleaning box of the device, and then the device is started to clean. However, since the spare parts are stacked one on top of the other, it is inevitable that some spare parts will be cleaned while others are not, or that some areas of a spare part will be cleaned while others are not, due to obstruction. These issues will affect the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0004] Based on the above problems, this utility model proposes an ultrasonic cleaning device for nickel plating. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background above, this utility model provides an ultrasonic cleaning device for nickel plating.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.

[0007] An ultrasonic cleaning device for nickel plating includes a cleaning box, an ultrasonic generating element at the bottom of the cleaning box, a support assembly inside the cleaning box, and a driving assembly outside the cleaning box. The area where the support component is used to place parts is called the placement area. Multiple placement areas are arranged in a vertical array. The support component is configured to switch between an extended state and a retracted state. When the support component is in the extended state, the placement area extends out of the cleaning box and the distance between two adjacent placement areas reaches its maximum. When the support component is in the retracted state, the placement area returns to the cleaning box and the distance between two adjacent placement areas reaches its minimum. The driving component is used to drive the supporting component to switch states.

[0008] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the supporting component includes a plurality of supporting trays arranged in a vertical array, and the supporting trays are arranged horizontally. The upper surface of the bottommost support tray is provided with a vertically arranged connecting rod, and the upper end of the connecting rod passes through the remaining support tray; The connecting rod is fitted with a spring between two adjacent support trays, and multiple springs are provided on the same connecting rod.

[0009] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the outer surface of the tray has a number of holes evenly distributed in an array.

[0010] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the tray has raised edges extending upwards around its perimeter.

[0011] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the connecting rod is provided with four right angles that are respectively close to the four support plates.

[0012] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, a fixing ring is provided at the upper end of the connecting rod; A sleeve is fitted around the outside of the connecting rod. The sleeve is located above the uppermost support plate, and a ring bracket is provided on the outer surface of the sleeve.

[0013] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the drive assembly includes a lead screw and a guide rod arranged vertically, and the input end of the lead screw is poweredly connected to a motor; A lug extends from one side of the ring support, and the lug forms a threaded connection with the lead screw and a sliding connection with the guide rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: In this solution, the support component is designed to switch between an extended and a retracted state. When extended, the placement area of ​​the support component extends out of the cleaning box, and the distance between two adjacent placement areas is maximized, making it convenient for staff to lay the parts flat in the placement area. When retracted, the placement area of ​​the support component returns to the cleaning box, and the distance between two adjacent placement areas is minimized, facilitating the effective transmission of the physical action generated in the liquid by the ultrasonic generator to the parts when activated, achieving efficient and thorough cleaning. It should be noted that the physical action generated by the ultrasonic wave in the liquid will be lost due to the increased distance during transmission to the parts. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the distance between two adjacent placement areas during cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0018] Reference Figures 1-5 An ultrasonic cleaning device for nickel plating includes a cleaning box 100, and an ultrasonic generating element is provided at the bottom of the cleaning box 100. This is an existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0019] The cleaning box 100 is equipped with a support component 200 inside and a drive component 300 outside the cleaning box 100.

[0020] The area in the support assembly 200 used to place parts is called the placement area. Multiple placement areas are arranged in a vertical array. The support assembly 200 is configured to switch between an extended state and a retracted state. When in the extended state, the placement area extends out of the cleaning box 100 and the distance between two adjacent placement areas is relatively large, making it convenient for staff to lay the parts flat in the placement area. When in the retracted state, the placement area returns to the cleaning box 100 and the distance between two adjacent placement areas is relatively small, which facilitates the transmission of the physical action generated in the liquid when the ultrasonic generator is activated to the parts, achieving efficient and thorough cleaning. It should be noted that the physical action generated by the ultrasonic wave in the liquid will be lost due to the increased distance during transmission to the parts. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the distance between two adjacent placement areas during cleaning.

[0021] The drive component 300 is used to drive the support component 200 to switch states.

[0022] I. Supporting Component 200: Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The support assembly 200 includes a plurality of support trays 201 arranged in a vertical array. The support trays 201 are arranged horizontally. Furthermore, a plurality of holes (not shown in the figure) are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the support trays 201. Moreover, the support trays 201 have raised edges 202 extending upward around their perimeter. The raised edges 202 can prevent parts on the support trays 201 from falling off.

[0023] The upper surface of the bottommost pallet 201 is provided with a vertically arranged connecting rod 203, and the upper end of the connecting rod 203 passes through the remaining pallet 201 and is provided with a fixing ring 204. Furthermore, there are four connecting rods 203, which are respectively close to the four right angles of the pallet 201.

[0024] The connecting rod 203 is fitted with a spring 205 located between two adjacent support trays 201. There are multiple springs 205 on the same connecting rod 203, and the number of springs 205 is one less than the number of support trays 201.

[0025] II. Driver Component 300: Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 300 includes a lead screw 303 and a guide rod 304 arranged vertically, and a motor 305 is poweredly connected to the input end of the lead screw 303.

[0026] A sleeve 301 is fitted on the outside of the connecting rod 203. The sleeve 301 is located above the uppermost support plate 201. There are four sleeves 301, and the four sleeves 301 are connected by a ring bracket 302.

[0027] A lug extends from one side of the ring bracket 302. The lug is threadedly connected to the lead screw 303, and the lug is slidably connected to the guide rod 304.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model: The operation of motor 305 can drive the lead screw 303 to rotate, thereby causing the ring support 302 and sleeve 301 to move, wherein: When the sleeve 301 moves downward, the support assembly 200 will move downward together under the action of gravity. When the bottommost support tray 201 contacts the bottom of the cleaning box 100, the bottommost support tray 201 will not move, while the sleeve 301 continues to move downward, which will compress the spring 205. The remaining support trays 201 continue to move downward until the compression of all springs 205 reaches its maximum. At this time, the sleeve 301 stops moving downward, and all support trays 201 are located inside the cleaning box 100. The distance between two adjacent support trays 201 reaches its minimum. The ultrasonic generator is activated to clean the parts on the support trays 201. After cleaning, the sleeve 301 moves upward. Initially, the bottom tray 201 remains stationary, and the spring 205 releases its elasticity, maximizing the distance between adjacent trays 201. Then, the sleeve 301 continues to move upward, pulling the connecting rod 203 and the trays 201 together through the fixing ring 204, causing all trays 201 to leave the cleaning box 100. At this time, because the distance between adjacent trays 201 is maximized, the operator's hand can easily reach into the area between adjacent trays 201 to lay the parts flat on the trays 201.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
