Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating equipment technology, and more specifically, to a rotary electroplating device. Background Technology

[0002] To enhance the durability and specific functions of metal parts, electroplating is often used for surface treatment. This technology utilizes an electrolytic reaction to uniformly deposit a layer of another metal, such as chromium, nickel, or zinc, onto the substrate. This metal film effectively isolates the substrate from air, preventing oxidation and rust, while also improving its electrical conductivity, wear resistance, or appearance, meeting the needs of various industrial applications.

[0003] Existing electroplating equipment still has the following problems: In existing electroplating processes, workpiece cleaning and transfer rely on manual operation. Operators must manually place the workpieces sequentially into the cleaning tank and each plating bath tank. Because this process cannot easily adjust for rotation and angle based on the actual layout of these tanks, the operation path is not optimal, increasing unnecessary movement and waiting time, thus directly impacting overall work efficiency. During electroplating equipment operation, the connecting rods used to suspend the workpieces are simply placed on the equipment support without an effective rigid fixing or locking mechanism. This simple suspension method causes the connecting rods to easily sway when the equipment is running or disturbed, resulting in insufficient stability and a serious risk of the electroplated workpieces detaching from the connecting rods and falling off.

[0004] In view of this, we propose a rotary electroplating apparatus. Utility Model Content

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a connector is fixedly connected inside the fixed sleeve, and the connector is slidably connected to two symmetrically distributed limiting hooks, and a spring is fixedly connected between the limiting hooks and the connector.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the two limiting hooks are limited to the first frustum block, the fixed column is slidably connected to the second frustum block, and the first frustum block and the second frustum block are mirror images of each other.

The threaded rod 8 passes through the sliding plate 9 and the two are threadedly connected. A connecting plate 10 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 9. A motor 11 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 9. The output shaft of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 10. A motor 2 12 is fixedly connected to the fixed shell 6. The output shaft of the motor 2 12 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 8. The connecting plate 10 is provided with a suspension structure. A gear ring 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5. A motor 3 14 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 4. A gear 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 3 14. The gear 15 meshes with the gear ring 13.

[0023] Please see Figures 3-5 The suspension structure includes circumferentially spaced fixing sleeves 16, which are embedded in the connecting plate 10. A connecting rod 17 is inserted into each fixing sleeve 16, and hooks 18 are fixedly connected to each connecting rod 17 at intervals. A fixing post 19 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 17, and a frustum block 20 is fixedly connected to the fixing post 19. A connector 21 is fixedly connected inside the fixing sleeve 16, and two symmetrically distributed limiting hooks 22 are slidably connected to the connector 21. A spring 23 is fixedly connected between the limiting hooks 22 and the connector 21. The limiting hook 22 is matched with the first frustum block 20 for limiting. The fixed column 19 is slidably connected to the second frustum block 24. The first frustum block 20 and the second frustum block 24 are distributed in a mirror image. The fixed sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the fixed ring 25. The fixed sleeve 16 is slidably connected to the sliding ring 27. The second spring 26 is fixedly connected between the sliding ring 27 and the fixed ring 25. The sliding ring 27 abuts against the connecting rod 17. The fixed sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the symmetrically distributed guide blocks 28. The connecting rod 17 is provided with a sliding groove. The guide blocks 28 slide in the sliding groove of the connecting rod 17.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model: In use, the connecting rod 17 is inserted into the fixed sleeve 16. The fixed post 19 and the second frustum block 24 pass through the sliding ring 27, and the connecting rod 17 presses the sliding ring 27 upward. The sliding ring 27 slides along the fixed sleeve 16, and the second spring 26 is compressed. At the same time, the guide block 28 slides in the groove of the connecting rod 17. The guide block 28 limits the connecting rod 17 to prevent it from rotating within the fixed sleeve 16, thus improving the stability of the connecting rod 17. The fixed post 19 drives the first frustum block 20 to slide upward. The second frustum block 24 presses the two limiting hooks 22, and the two limiting hooks 22 move away from each other until they move to the lower side of the first frustum block 20. Under the elastic force of the first spring 23, the limiting hooks 22 reset and limit the first frustum block 20, thus completing the connection of the connecting rod 17. Then, the workpiece is scraped onto the hook 18.

[0025] Then start motor 12. The output shaft of motor 12 drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate. The threaded rod 8 drives the sliding plate 9 to slide down along the guide groove 7 until the part enters the electroplating tank 3. The part is completely immersed in the electroplating solution. Then start motor 11. The output shaft of motor 11 drives the connecting plate 10 to rotate circumferentially to perform electroplating treatment on the part.

[0026] After the electroplating of the parts is completed, control motor 2 12 to move the sliding plate 9 upward to reset, and then start motor 3 14. The output shaft of motor 3 14 drives the gear ring 13 to rotate through gear 15, so that the rotating shaft 5 rotates 180° on the fixed seat 4, so that the connecting rod 17 is above the cleaning tank 2. Then repeat the above operation to clean the parts after electroplating.

[0027] When it is necessary to disassemble the connecting rod 17, simply continue to move the connecting rod 17 upwards. The connecting rod 17 drives the second frustum block 24 upwards, and the second frustum block 24 presses against the two limiting hooks 22, causing the two limiting hooks 22 to separate. The two limiting hooks 22 move to the lower side of the second frustum block 24, and at the same time, the sliding ring 27 moves upwards, the second spring 26 is further compressed, and then the connecting rod 17 is pulled downwards. The two limiting hooks 22 drive the second frustum block 24 to move upwards along the fixed column 19 and contact the first frustum block 20. As the connecting rod 17 moves downwards, the second frustum block 24 presses against the two limiting hooks 22 and moves them away from each other. The limiting hooks 22 and the frustum block... After the second 24 loses contact and moves to the upper side of the first truncated block 20, the limiting hook 22 no longer limits the first truncated block 20. Then the connecting rod 17 can be pulled out from the fixed sleeve 16. The sliding ring 27 is reset under the elastic force of the second spring 26. During the operation, the elastic force of the second spring 26 keeps the sliding ring 27 pressing the connecting rod 17, thereby improving the stability of the connecting rod 17. Furthermore, the cooperation between the limiting hook 22, the first truncated block 20, and the second truncated block 24 improves the disassembly speed of the connecting rod 17 and the connection stability of the connecting rod 17, preventing the connecting rod 17 from shaking and causing the parts to fall off during the electroplating process.
