Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barrel plating technology, and in particular to a barrel plating device with a self-cleaning barrel. Background Technology
[0002] Barrel plating is an electroplating process in which a certain number of small parts are placed inside a rotating drum. During the rotation of the drum, the surface of the parts comes into full contact with the plating solution, and a metal plating layer is deposited on the surface of the parts through electrochemical action.
[0003] However, in existing technologies, during the use of the roller, impurities such as metal shavings, oil, and dust from the previous electroplating process will remain on its surface. If it is not cleaned, these impurities will enter the plating solution, causing instability in the plating solution composition and thus affecting the purity and performance of the plating layer. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of unstable plating solution composition caused by residual metal shavings, oil stains, dust and other impurities from the previous electroplating process in the existing technology, and to propose a self-cleaning barrel plating device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a self-cleaning drum plating device, comprising a base plate and a drum body, with two tracks fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a cleaning mechanism installed on the inner side of one end of the base plate;
[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a rotating disk, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the roller body. Four rotating rods are rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating disk. A first gear is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of each rotating rod, and a third gear is fixedly connected to the other end of the first gear. A second gear is meshed with one side of the third gear. Four cleaning brushes are rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating disk. One end of each cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the second gear. A fixed rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating disk.
[0007] Preferably, a half gear is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the fixing rod, and the half gear meshes with the first gear.
[0008] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the base plate, and the bottom end of the support frame is fixedly connected to the base plate.
[0009] Preferably, a drive motor is provided on one side of the base plate, and a synchronous belt is connected to the output end of the drive motor.
[0010] Preferably, the timing belt is sleeved on the outside of the rotating disk.
[0011] Preferably, a toothed ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the middle part of the roller body, and a drive gear is meshed below the toothed ring.
[0012] Preferably, limit rings are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both ends of the roller body, and the limit rings are slidably connected to the track.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, multiple cleaning brushes are driven to rotate synchronously by a rotating disk. With the intermittent meshing of the half gear, the cleaning brushes not only achieve overall rotation, but also partial rotation around their own axis, thereby enhancing the friction between the bristles and the inner wall of the roller and improving cleaning efficiency. Since the half gear only covers half of the tooth surface, the cleaning brushes continuously change the contact angle and position with the inner wall of the roller during rotation, avoiding the problem of cleaning dead corners caused by repeatedly cleaning the same area.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, the main body of the roller is driven to rotate by the active gear, and it can be designed to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotating disk, forming an interlaced friction trajectory. This enhances the multi-angle contact between the cleaning brush and the inner wall, significantly improving the uniformity and coverage of cleaning. At the same time, the cooperation between the limiting ring and the track effectively restricts the movement trajectory of the roller, preventing deviation and jumping, and ensuring stable operation. The overall design takes into account power transmission, structural stability and cleaning efficiency, achieving a highly efficient and reliable automatic cleaning effect.

[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0023] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a self-cleaning drum plating device, including a base plate 1 and a drum body 5. Two tracks 53 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, and a cleaning mechanism 3 is installed on the inner side of one end of the base plate 1.
[0024] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a rotating disk 31, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the roller body 5. Four rotating rods 39 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating disk 31. A first gear 32 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the rotating rod 39, and a third gear 36 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first gear 32. A second gear 35 is meshed with one side of the third gear 36. Four cleaning brushes 33 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating disk 31. One end of the cleaning brush 33 is fixedly connected to the second gear 35. A fixed rod 38 is rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating disk 31.
[0025] The specific setup and function of this embodiment will be described in detail below. The rotation of the rotating disk 31 simultaneously drives multiple cleaning brushes 33 mounted on it to rotate synchronously, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the inner wall of the roller body 5. During rotation, the cleaning brushes 33 can make multi-angle and multi-directional contact with the inner wall of the roller, improving cleaning coverage and efficiency.
[0026] The half-gear 34 is in a fixed installation state, with its tooth surface only covering half a circumference. Therefore, when the rotating disk 31 drives the cleaning brush 33 to move, the first gear 32 connected to the cleaning brush 33 will mesh with the half-gear 34 at a specific position. When meshing occurs, the half-gear 34 will apply a local driving force to the first gear 32, causing the first gear 32 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 32 will further drive the rotating rod 39 connected to it to rotate.
[0027] As the rotating rod 39 rotates, the fixed rod 38 connected to its other end also begins to rotate synchronously. The fixed rod 38 transmits rotational force to the second gear 35 through its meshing relationship with the second gear 35, causing the second gear 35 to drive the cleaning brush 33 to rotate around its own axis, thereby enhancing the frictional cleaning force between the bristles and the inner wall of the roller, effectively removing attached impurities and dirt.
[0028] The half gear 34 does not engage in full circumferential meshing; it only applies intermittent force to the first gear 32 during rotation. This discontinuous meshing design causes the contact surface between the cleaning brush 33 and the inner wall of the roller body 5 to continuously change with each rotation. This structural design effectively avoids the cleaning dead zones caused by the brush head repeatedly moving along a fixed trajectory, ensuring that the cleaning brush 33 can cover a larger area of the inner wall of the roller, and also preventing a prolonged contact surface from reducing the cleaning effect.
[0029] Example 2: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a half gear 34 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the fixed rod 38, and the half gear 34 meshes with the first gear 32. A support frame 37 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of the base plate 1, and the bottom end of the support frame 37 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. A drive motor 2 is provided on one side of the base plate 1, and a synchronous belt 4 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 2. The synchronous belt 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating disk 31. A toothed ring 51 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the middle part of the roller body 5, and a drive gear 52 is meshed below the toothed ring 51. Limiting rings 54 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both ends of the roller body 5, and the limiting rings 54 are slidably connected to the track 53.
[0030] The overall effect of this embodiment is that the driving force of the drive motor 2 enables the synchronous belt 4 installed at its output end to move in an orderly manner. The synchronous belt 4 and the rotating disk 31 are connected by a transmission assembly to transmit power, thereby causing the rotating disk 31 to rotate around its axis. During rotation, the rotating disk 31 maintains a stable rotation state under the solid support of the support frame 37 and the fixed rod 38, avoiding deviation or wobbling.
[0031] Another set of drive devices drives the drive gear 52 to rotate. The drive gear 52, through meshing with the gear ring 51, further drives the drum body 5 to rotate. This rolling motion simulates the working principle of a barrel plating device, causing the object being processed to tumble and roll inside the drum, thereby improving the uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning.
[0032] It is worth mentioning that the rotation direction of the roller body 5 can be opposite to that of the rotating disk 31. This reverse motion design can form an interlaced friction trajectory during the cleaning process, so that the contact angle and contact position between the cleaning brush 33 and the inner wall of the roller are constantly changed, effectively reducing the generation of cleaning dead corners, thereby significantly improving cleaning efficiency and quality.
[0033] During the rotation of the roller body 5, the limiting ring 54 connected to its exterior will also rotate. With the cooperation of the track 53, the movement trajectory of the limiting ring 54 is effectively guided and restricted, which not only prevents the roller body 5 from deviating or jumping during rotation, but also further improves the stability and reliability of the entire cleaning system during operation.
[0034] The device's operation and working principle are as follows: During the rotation of the rotating disk 31, multiple cleaning brushes 33 can be driven to move simultaneously. During this movement, the cleaning brushes 33 thoroughly clean the inner wall of the roller body 5. During cleaning, the half-gear 34 remains fixed; as the cleaning brushes 33 move, the half-gear 34 applies a force to the first gear 32, causing the first gear 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 39 to rotate. The fixed rod 38 connected to the other end of the rotating rod 39 also rotates, applying a force to the second gear 35 during rotation, causing the cleaning brushes 33 to rotate. Because the half-gear 34 only meshes with the first gear 32 for a portion of its stroke, its drive of the cleaning brushes 33 is intermittent. This design changes the contact position between the cleaning brushes 33 and the inner wall of the roller body 5, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect and avoiding cleaning dead zones.
[0035] Driven by the motor 2, the synchronous belt 4 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 31 to rotate. Supported by the support frame 37 and the fixed rod 38, the rotating disk 31 achieves stable self-locking, preventing deviation. Simultaneously, when the drive device rotates the drive gear 52, the gear ring 51 also rotates, causing the roller body 5 to rotate, completing a motion process similar to barrel plating. It is worth noting that the rotation direction of the roller body 5 can be opposite to that of the rotating disk 31. This reverse rotation mechanism can create multi-angle, multi-directional friction trajectories during cleaning, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. When the roller body 5 rotates, the limiting ring 54 also rotates synchronously and runs under the guidance and restriction of the track 53, effectively ensuring the stability of the roller body 5 during rotation and further enhancing the system's reliability and cleaning consistency.
[0036] 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 other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
