Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating equipment technology, and in particular to an electroplating roller. Background Technology
[0002] In the electroplating process, the roller is one of the commonly used electroplating equipment. It is used to support the workpiece to be electroplated and make it roll in the electroplating solution, thereby achieving uniform electroplating.
[0003] Traditional electroplating rollers have some shortcomings: for example, the feeding structure of some rollers is not designed properly, making it inconvenient to add workpieces and difficult to ensure the sealing of the feed inlet, which leads to leakage of electroplating solution and affects the electroplating environment and quality; in addition, some rollers have a simple internal structure, which is not good at accommodating and fixing workpieces. During the rolling process, workpieces are prone to collision and accumulation, resulting in uneven electroplating.
[0004] To address this issue, a plating roller is proposed here. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and solve the problems of inconvenient feeding and poor sealing of traditional electroplating rollers, this utility model provides an electroplating roller.
[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:
[0007] An electroplating roller includes an outer cylinder, which is cylindrical, hollow inside, and has a mesh covering its outer surface. The mesh is evenly and equidistantly arranged along the axis of the outer cylinder. A feed inlet is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder, which is connected to the inside of the outer cylinder. Two symmetrical slots are provided at the feed inlet, which are arranged horizontally parallel to each other. A cover plate is engaged in the slot.
[0008] The outer cylinder has rotating shafts on both sides, and the rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the outer cylinder. A gear is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rotating shaft on the right side of the outer cylinder.
[0009] The feed inlet is also equipped with a locking device, which is used to tightly lock the cover plate and the outer cylinder.
[0010] The outer cylinder has an inner cylinder inside. The inner cylinder is a three-dimensional hexagon with a hollow interior and a mesh covering its outer surface. The mesh is evenly spaced. One side of the hexagonal inner cylinder has a feed inlet that is connected to the feed inlet of the outer cylinder. The left side of the inner cylinder is fixed to the inner wall of the outer cylinder.
[0011] The locking device includes two limiting plates, each of which is vertically fixed at the feed inlet. The two limiting plates are symmetrically arranged, and each limiting plate is fixed to the outer cylinder by bolts.
[0012] Each of the limiting plates is provided with a threaded rod, which is threadedly connected to the limiting plate. One end of the threaded rod near the cover plate is provided with a pressure plate, and the other end is provided with a knob. The knob and the pressure plate are fixedly connected to the threaded rod.
[0013] A maintenance plate is provided on the right side of the outer cylinder, and the maintenance plate is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder by bolts.
[0014] The bottom of the outer cylinder is provided with a drain port, and a filter screen is provided at the drain port. The filter screen is fixed to the drain port with bolts.
[0015] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
[0016] 1. By setting up a feed inlet and a slot, along with a cover plate and locking device, the operation of adding workpieces becomes more convenient and faster. At the same time, the locking device ensures that the cover plate fits tightly with the outer cylinder, effectively preventing electroplating solution leakage, maintaining a stable electroplating environment, and improving electroplating quality;
[0017] 2. By setting an inner cylinder inside the outer cylinder, the inner cylinder structure can be a three-dimensional hexagon, which increases the space for the workpiece to be accommodated in the drum. The hexagonal shape makes the workpiece more evenly distributed during the rolling process, reducing the collision and accumulation between workpieces, thereby improving the uniformity of electroplating.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an electroplating roller includes an outer cylinder 1, which is cylindrical, hollow inside, and has a mesh covering its outer surface. The mesh is evenly spaced along the axis of the outer cylinder 1. A feed inlet 2 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 1, which is connected to the interior of the outer cylinder 1 to facilitate the insertion and removal of the workpiece to be electroplated. Two symmetrical slots 21 are provided at the feed inlet 2, arranged horizontally and parallel to each other. The slots 21 are used to engage a cover plate 5, enabling the opening and closing of the feed inlet 2. The cover plate 5 is engaged within the slots 21 to seal the feed inlet 2 and prevent electroplating solution leakage. The size of the cover plate 5 is adapted to the feed inlet 2 to ensure a tight seal.
[0027] The outer cylinder 1 has two rotating shafts 8 on both sides, which are fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 1. A gear 4 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rotating shaft 8 on the right side of the outer cylinder 1. The gear 4 is connected to the driving device to drive the outer cylinder 1 to rotate.
[0028] A locking device is also provided at the feed inlet 2, which is used to tightly lock the cover plate 5 and the outer cylinder 1.
[0029] The outer cylinder 1 contains an inner cylinder 6, which is a three-dimensional hexagonal shape, hollow inside, and covered with a mesh on its outer surface. The mesh is evenly spaced, promoting the flow of the electroplating solution. As the drum rotates, the electroplating solution can enter and exit through these mesh openings, ensuring the workpiece surface is constantly exposed to fresh solution, guaranteeing the continuity and uniformity of the electroplating process, and improving electroplating quality. One side of the hexagonal inner cylinder 6 has a feed inlet 2, which is connected to the feed inlet 2 of the outer cylinder 1. The left side of the inner cylinder 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1. The hexagonal structure of the inner cylinder 6 increases the space for the workpiece within the drum, while also ensuring a more even distribution of the workpiece during rotation, reducing collisions and improving electroplating quality.
[0030] The locking device includes two limiting plates 22, each of which is vertically fixed at the feed inlet 2. The two limiting plates 22 are symmetrically arranged, and each of which is fixed to the outer cylinder 1 by bolts.
[0031] Each of the limiting plates 22 is provided with a threaded rod 24, which is threadedly connected to the limiting plate 22. One end of the threaded rod 24 near the cover plate 5 is provided with a pressure plate 25, and the other end is provided with a knob 23. The knob 23 and the pressure plate 25 are fixedly connected to the threaded rod 24. By rotating the knob 23, the threaded rod 24 can move on the limiting plate 22, thereby causing the pressure plate 25 to press or release the cover plate 5, achieving the locking and unlocking functions.
[0032] A maintenance plate 7 is provided on the right side of the outer cylinder 1, and the maintenance plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 1 by bolts. The maintenance plate 7 is designed to facilitate maintenance when the equipment malfunctions.
[0033] The bottom of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a drain port 3, and a filter screen 31 is provided at the drain port 3. The filter screen 31 is fixed to the drain port 3 by bolts and is used to discharge impurities and waste liquid generated during the electroplating process.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, rotate the knob 23 of the locking device to make the threaded rod 24 drive the pressure plate 25 to loosen the cover plate 5, and take the cover plate 5 out of the slot 21. Put the workpiece to be electroplated into the inner cylinder 6 through the feed port 2. After the workpiece is added, lock the cover plate 5 back into the slot 21, and rotate the knob 23 to make the pressure plate 25 press the cover plate 5 to achieve locking.
[0035] The installed electroplating roller is connected to the drive device through the rotating shaft 8 and gear 4, placed in the electroplating solution, and the drive device is started to make the roller roll, thereby driving the workpiece to roll in the electroplating solution to achieve uniform electroplating.
[0036] When the equipment malfunctions, unscrew the bolts on the inspection plate 7, open the inspection plate 7 for maintenance, and regularly clean the filter screen 31 at the drain outlet 3. Unscrew the bolts on the filter screen 31, remove the filter screen 31 for cleaning, in order to keep the inside of the drum clean.
[0037] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
