Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating equipment, and in particular to environmentally friendly electroplating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of another metal or alloy onto the surface of certain metals using the principle of electrolysis. It utilizes electrolysis to coat the surface of metal or other material parts with a metallic film, thereby preventing metal oxidation and improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. During electroplating, the plating metal or other insoluble material acts as the anode, and the workpiece to be plated acts as the cathode. The cations of the plating metal are reduced on the surface of the workpiece to form the plating layer. To eliminate interference from other cations and ensure a uniform and firm plating layer, a solution containing the plating metal cations is used as the electrolyte to maintain a constant concentration of the plating metal cations. To save energy, reduce emissions, and conserve resources, a large number of environmentally friendly electroplating equipment have emerged on the market.

[0003] However, traditional environmentally friendly electroplating equipment, such as the technical solution protected by the patent application number CN200720120238.3 entitled "Environmentally Friendly Electroplating Equipment", cannot reuse the electroplating solution and consumes a large amount of it. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an environmentally friendly electroplating equipment that addresses the technical problems of traditional environmentally friendly electroplating equipment not being able to reuse electroplating solutions and having a large consumption of electroplating solutions.

The input end of the drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the electroplating tank. A drain valve is provided on the drain pipe. The electroplating roller is housed in the electroplating tank and immersed in the electroplating solution. A feeding valve is provided on the electroplating roller. Rotating columns are provided at both ends of the electroplating roller, and each end of the electroplating roller is rotatably connected to an inner wall of the electroplating tank through a corresponding rotating column. The driven gear is sleeved on one of the rotating columns and fixedly connected to the rotating column. The four-impeller is exposed in the electroplating solution, and one end of the four-impeller is rotatably connected to an inner wall of the electroplating tank through the rotating shaft. The drive gear is sleeved on the rotating shaft and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The drive gear is driven by the driven gear through the drive chain. The modulation mechanism includes a modulation tank, a pump, and a pumping pipe. The modulation tank is located below the electroplating tank. The filtration mechanism divides the modulation tank into a feeding chamber and a modulation chamber. The output end of the drain pipe is inserted into the feeding chamber. Limiting grooves are formed on two symmetrical inner walls of the modulation tank, and a sealing groove is formed at the bottom of the modulation tank. Both limiting grooves communicate with the sealing groove. The pump is located in the modulation chamber and at the bottom of the modulation tank. The output end of the pump is connected to the input end of the pumping pipe. The output end of the pumping pipe is inserted into the electroplating tank, and the output end of the pumping pipe can vertically spray electroplating solution toward the blades on the four-impeller. The filtration mechanism includes a pull handle, a pull rod, a receiving plate, a receiving frame, and a filter screen; the pull handle is connected to the middle area of ​​the receiving plate via the pull rod; the receiving plate abuts against the open end of the modulation groove; the receiving frame is connected to the side of the receiving plate facing away from the pull rod, the receiving frame is adapted to the limiting slide groove, the receiving frame is inserted into the two limiting slide grooves and slidably connected to the modulation groove; the receiving frame is adapted to the sealing groove, the receiving frame is inserted into the sealing groove and snapped into the modulation groove; the filter screen is disposed on the receiving frame.
