Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating inspection tool technology, and in particular to an automatic liquid level balancing device for electroplating tanks. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing fields of electronic components, precision hardware, and automotive parts, electroplating is a core process for improving the rust prevention, conductivity, decoration, and wear resistance of workpiece surfaces. As a key piece of equipment that carries workpieces and connects them to the electroplating system, the performance of electroplating racks directly affects electroplating production efficiency, coating quality stability, and ease of operation. With the industry's increasing demand for large-scale mass production and higher requirements for precision coatings, multi-station electroplating racks, which can carry multiple workpieces for electroplating operations simultaneously, are gradually replacing traditional single-station racks and becoming the mainstream.
[0003] Existing liquid level control devices mostly use fixed brackets or customized installation structures, lacking adjustable installation components. Since the dimensions of electroplating tanks in different production lines vary, such as tank width and depth, fixed installation structures need to be designed separately for different tanks. This not only increases manufacturing costs but also requires disassembly and reassembly for debugging when changing tanks, making the operation cumbersome and prone to misalignment of liquid level detection or adjustment components due to installation deviations, affecting the accuracy of liquid level control. Although some devices support simple adjustments, the adjustment process lacks precise limit structures, which can easily cause component shaking after installation, further reducing the stability of liquid level control. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes an automatic liquid level balancing device for electroplating tanks, which can adjust the liquid level inside the electroplating solution casing without requiring frequent manual monitoring and replenishment, reducing liquid level fluctuations, ensuring coating quality adaptable to electroplating tanks of different specifications, and achieving quick and convenient installation.
[0005] An automatic level balancing device for an electroplating tank according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: An electroplating solution housing, wherein a liquid level adjustment component is provided in the middle of the electroplating solution housing, and an installation component is provided in the middle of the liquid level adjustment component; The liquid level adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate, a plurality of sealing sleeves are fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting plate, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of each of the sealing sleeves, a piston is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic rod, the piston is slidably connected to the sealing sleeve, and a connecting pipe is provided at the upper end of the sealing sleeve.
[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting assembly includes a fixing plate fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting plate, and a pair of mutually symmetrical drive housings fixed to the middle of the fixing plate. A worm gear is rotatably connected inside each of the pair of drive housings, and a knob is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear.
[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the drive housing, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod and located inside the drive housing, and the worm gear is meshed with a worm.
[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a lead screw, one end of the driving housing is fixedly connected to a limiting sleeve, a sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the middle of the limiting sleeve, the interior of the sliding sleeve is threadedly connected to the middle of the lead screw, and one end of a pair of sliding sleeves is fixedly connected to a bolt mounting plate.
[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting plate has a plurality of circular holes in the middle for mounting with a sealing sleeve.
[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of bolt holes are provided in the middle of a pair of bolt mounting plates, and the middle of the bolt mounting plates is fixedly connected to the middle of the electroplating solution shell by bolts.
[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting sleeve has a cross groove inside that cooperates with the sliding sleeve for sliding and limiting.
[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a cross protrusion that is slidably connected to a cross groove is fixedly connected to the middle part of the sliding sleeve.
[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a telescopic rod to drive the piston to slide inside the sealing sleeve. The sealing sleeve cooperates with the connecting pipe to adjust the liquid level inside the electroplating solution shell. The sliding connection between the piston and the sealing sleeve ensures the sealing performance, preventing the electroplating solution from seeping into the adjustment components or impurities from mixing into the electroplating solution. At the same time, it eliminates the need for frequent manual monitoring and replenishment, reduces liquid level fluctuations, and ensures the quality of the plating layer. This invention uses a knob to rotate a worm gear, which in turn drives a worm wheel and a rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod then drives a lead screw to rotate. The lead screw engages with a sliding sleeve via a threaded connection, allowing the sliding sleeve to slide along the cross groove inside the limiting sleeve. This adjusts the position of the bolt mounting plate, which is then fixed to the electroplating solution housing. This allows the device to be installed on electroplating tanks of different specifications without requiring a separate installation structure, thus avoiding misalignment of components due to installation deviations and improving installation stability.
