Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to a material electroplating production line. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is a surface treatment technology that uses the principle of electrolysis to deposit a metal coating on the surface of a substrate. Its core is to change the surface properties of materials through electrochemical methods in order to improve performance or endow them with special functions.

[0003] In existing technologies, electroplating production lines often employ a gantry structure, with overhead cranes running on the gantry to transport workpieces to be electroplated. While this structure meets the requirements of the electroplating process, the large size of the gantry often necessitates significant space in the production layout, increasing the overall height and floor space requirements of the plant. Furthermore, some electroplating production lines still rely on external control devices for crane position control, limiting the accuracy of crane start-stop and positioning, and requiring further improvement in operational flexibility and automation. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved material electroplating production line. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a material electroplating production line to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a material electroplating production line, including a track, a trolley, a pretreatment tank, and an electroplating tank. The track is fixedly connected to the ceiling. The trolley is equipped with rollers and a horizontal drive assembly that can drive the rollers to rotate. The trolley is also equipped with a vertical drive assembly, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a hanger. The trolley is equipped with a power distribution box, and a barcode scanning mechanism is provided on one side of the trolley. A vertical frame is fixedly connected to the pretreatment tank and the electroplating tank. The vertical frame has a receiving groove, and several positioning codes are inserted into the receiving groove.

[0007] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top surface of the track, and the track is fixedly connected to the ceiling via positioning holes on the connecting plate and bolts.

[0008] The above technical solution utilizes a combination of tracks, overhead trolleys, treatment tanks, and electroplating tanks to form the overall electroplating production line. The tracks provide the moving path for the overhead trolleys, which move materials horizontally and vertically. The pretreatment tanks are used for pre-treatment of the materials, and the electroplating tanks are used for electroplating. The tracks are fixed to the ceiling, not occupying space on either side of the pretreatment and electroplating tanks, facilitating work by personnel near these tanks and improving usability. The tracks are also fixed to the ceiling via connecting plates, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0009] Preferably, of any of the above embodiments, the rollers are in two sets and are respectively disposed at both ends of the overhead surface of the vehicle.

[0010] The above technical solution employs rollers and a horizontal drive assembly to propel the trolley horizontally. Two sets of rollers are positioned at opposite ends of the top frame, driving the trolley from both ends for improved driving performance.

[0011] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the vertical drive assembly is located at the centerline of the vehicle, and a side frame is fixedly connected to the side of the hanger.

[0012] The above technical solution employs a vertical drive assembly to move the lifting frame vertically, thereby moving the suspended object vertically. The vertical drive assembly is positioned at the centerline of the crane, allowing for a more balanced movement of the lifting frame. Side frames are installed on the sides of the lifting frame to expand the lifting options.

[0013] Preferably, the pretreatment tank is provided with a water washing station, an acid washing station, and an alkaline washing station, and the electroplating tank is provided with several individual tanks.

[0014] The above technical solution employs a pretreatment tank with multiple stations for various pretreatments of the materials to be electroplated. A traveling crane moves the materials in and out of the water washing, acid washing, and alkaline washing stations, achieving rust removal, oil removal, and impurity removal, thus enabling better electroplating. The electroplating tank is equipped with multiple individual tanks, enriching the electroplating options and adapting to the needs of multiple electroplating processes.

[0015] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the support frame includes a column disposed at the end of the pretreatment tank and the electroplating tank, and a crossbeam disposed at the top of the column, wherein the receiving tank is opened along the entire length of the crossbeam.

[0016] The above technical solution employs a frame that provides an installation platform for the positioning codes. Utilizing columns and beams to create this platform minimizes the space occupied on the sides of the pretreatment and electroplating tanks, facilitating side operations for workers. A receiving groove is created along the entire length of the beam, providing convenience for adjusting the positioning code's position.

[0017] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, several of the positioning codes are set to correspond to the positions of each station in the pretreatment pool and each individual pool in the electroplating pool.

[0018] The above technical solution works as follows: when the crane is moving, the horizontal drive component stops working when the scanning mechanism scans the designated positioning code, causing the crane to stop at the corresponding position, thus completing the crane's positioning. The corresponding command controller can be installed in the power distribution box, achieving a high degree of integration of the crane and facilitating overall use.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. This electroplating production line, through the installation of tracks, overhead cranes, processing tanks, electroplating tanks, rollers, horizontal drive components, vertical drive components, hangers, electrical control boxes, barcode scanning mechanisms, and positioning codes, suspends the materials to be processed on the hangers during electroplating. The horizontal drive components drive the rollers to rotate, and the overhead crane moves along the tracks. When the barcode scanning mechanism scans the designated positioning code, the horizontal drive components stop, stopping the overhead crane at the corresponding position. The vertical drive components move the hangers and materials vertically, allowing the materials to enter the corresponding processing tank for pre-treatment. After the pre-treatment process, the overhead crane moves the materials to the electroplating tank for electroplating. This reduces reliance on external control components for controlling the start and stop of the overhead crane, resulting in higher operational flexibility and automation.

[0021] 2. In this electroplating production line, the track is fixedly connected to the ceiling, occupying no space on either side of the pretreatment tank and electroplating tank. This facilitates work by staff near these tanks, making it more convenient to use. The track is fixed to the ceiling via connecting plates, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly. The columns and beams provide an installation platform for the positioning codes, minimizing space usage on the sides of the pretreatment and electroplating tanks, and allowing staff to work from the side. A receiving groove is cut along the entire length of the beam, facilitating the adjustment of the positioning code's position.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model includes a track 1, a trolley 2, a pretreatment tank 3, and an electroplating tank 4. The track 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling. The trolley 2 is equipped with rollers 5 and a horizontal drive assembly 6 that can drive the rollers 5 to rotate. The trolley 2 is equipped with a vertical drive assembly 7, and a hanger 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the vertical drive assembly 7. The trolley 2 is equipped with a power distribution box 9, and a barcode scanning mechanism 10 is provided on one side of the trolley 2. A support frame 11 is fixedly connected to the pretreatment tank 3 and the electroplating tank 4. The support frame 11 has a receiving groove 12, and several positioning codes 13 are inserted into the receiving groove 12.

[0030] Example 1: A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top surface of track 1. Track 1 is fixed to the ceiling via positioning holes on the connecting plate and bolts. Track 1, trolley 2, treatment tank 3, and electroplating tank 4 cooperate to form the entire electroplating production line. Track 1 provides a moving track for trolley 2, which moves materials horizontally and vertically. Pretreatment tank 3 is used for pretreatment of materials, and electroplating tank 4 is used for electroplating. Track 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling, not occupying the space on both sides of pretreatment tank 3 and electroplating tank 4, making it convenient for workers to perform related operations beside these tanks. Track 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling via the connecting plate, facilitating assembly and disassembly. Two sets of rollers 5 are respectively located at both ends of the top surface of trolley 2. Rollers 5 and a horizontal drive assembly 6 are used to drive trolley 2 horizontally. The two sets of rollers 5 are located at both ends of the top frame, driving trolley 2 from both ends for better driving effect.

[0031] Example 2: The vertical drive assembly 7 is located at the centerline of the overhead crane 2, and a side frame is fixedly connected to the side of the hanger 8. The vertical drive assembly 7 is used to drive the hanger 8 to move vertically, thereby driving the hoisted item to move vertically. The vertical drive assembly 7 being located at the centerline of the overhead crane 2 allows for a more balanced movement of the hanger 8. The side frame on the side of the hanger 8 expands the hoisting options. The pretreatment tank 3 is equipped with a water washing station, an acid washing station, and an alkaline washing station, while the electroplating tank 4 contains several individual tanks. The pretreatment tank 3 has multiple stations for various pretreatments of the materials to be electroplated. The overhead crane 2 moves the materials in and out of the water washing station, acid washing station, and alkaline washing station, achieving rust removal, oil removal, and impurity removal, enabling better electroplating. The electroplating tank 4 has multiple individual tanks, enriching the electroplating options and adapting to the needs of multiple electroplating processes.

[0032] Example 3: The support frame 11 includes columns at the ends of the pretreatment tank 3 and the electroplating tank 4, and a crossbeam at the top of the columns. A receiving slot 12 is provided along the entire length of the crossbeam. The support frame 11 provides an installation platform for the positioning codes 13. Using the columns and crossbeam to provide an installation platform for the positioning codes 13 occupies less space on the sides of the pretreatment tank 3 and the electroplating tank 4, facilitating related work by personnel on the sides. The receiving slot 12 along the entire length of the crossbeam facilitates the adjustment of the positioning codes 13's position. Several positioning codes 13 are set at the positions of various workstations in the pretreatment tank 3 and individual tanks in the electroplating tank 4. When the trolley 2 moves, when the scanning mechanism 10 scans the designated positioning code 13, the horizontal drive component 6 stops working, stopping the trolley 2 at the corresponding position, completing the positioning of the trolley 2. The corresponding command controller can be installed in the distribution box 9, achieving high integration of the trolley 2 and facilitating overall use. The positioning code 13 can be in the form of a QR code, barcode, etc. The electrical control logic of the corresponding instruction controller, barcode scanning mechanism 10, and positioning code 13 within the distribution box 9 is existing technology, and is used in automotive parts manufacturing, lithium battery production lines, and electronic component assembly lines. This application has no additional limitations and will not elaborate further.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] S1. The material to be processed is hoisted onto the hanger 8. The horizontal drive assembly 6 drives the rollers 5 to rotate, and the trolley 2 moves along the track 1. When the barcode scanning mechanism 10 scans the designated positioning code 13, the horizontal drive assembly 6 stops working, causing the trolley 2 to stop at the corresponding position;

[0035] S2. The vertical drive component 7 drives the hanger 8 and the material to move vertically, and the material enters the corresponding processing pool to perform pre-processing work on the material.

[0036] S3. After the pretreatment process is completed, the overhead crane 2 is used to move the material to the electroplating tank 4 for electroplating.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0038] 1. This electroplating production line, through the configuration of a track 1, a traveling crane 2, a processing tank 3, an electroplating tank 4, rollers 5, a horizontal drive assembly 6, a vertical drive assembly 7, a hanger 8, a power distribution box 9, a barcode scanning mechanism 10, and positioning codes 13, etc., allows the materials to be processed to be hoisted onto the hanger 8 during electroplating. The horizontal drive assembly 6 drives the rollers 5 to rotate, and the traveling crane 2 moves along the track 1. When the barcode scanning mechanism 10 scans the designated positioning code 13, the horizontal drive assembly 6 stops, stopping the traveling crane 2 at the corresponding position. The vertical drive assembly 7 drives the hanger 8 and the materials to move vertically, allowing the materials to enter the corresponding processing tank for pre-treatment. After the pre-treatment process is completed, the traveling crane 2 moves the materials to the electroplating tank 4 for electroplating. This reduces the reliance on external control components for the start and stop control of the traveling crane 2, resulting in higher operational flexibility and automation.

[0039] 2. In this electroplating production line, track 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling, without occupying the space on both sides of the pretreatment tank 3 and electroplating tank 4, making it convenient for workers to perform related operations next to the pretreatment tank 3 and electroplating tank 4, and improving usability. Track 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling via a connecting plate, facilitating its assembly and disassembly. The use of columns and beams provides an installation platform for the positioning code 13, occupying minimal space on the sides of the pretreatment tank 3 and electroplating tank 4, allowing workers to perform related operations from the side. A receiving groove 12 is cut along the entire length of the beam, facilitating the adjustment of the positioning code 13's position.
