Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Galvanisiermagazin zum Beschichten von Bauteilen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to an electroplating magazine for coating Components according to the preamble of claim 1.

Das galvanotechnische Beschichtungsverfahren ist ein weit verbreitetes Verfahren wenn durch das Aufbringen von Schutzschichten auf Oberflächen von Groß- und Kleinteilen deren werkstofftechnische Eigenschaften gezielt verbessert werden sollen. Wesentlich für die Wirtschaftlichkeit solcher Verfahren ist die Prozeßführung vor, während und nach der Beschichtung sowie die hierfür verwendeten Vorrichtungen. Bei der Beschichtung von Kleinteilen aus einer Massenserienproduktion bedient man sich häufig trommelartiger Galvanisiergestelle, die mit den zu beschichtenden Bauteilen schüttgutartig befüllt werden und mit der horizontal liegenden Trommelachse in das Galvanisierbad eingesetzt werden. Hierdurch lassen sich große Serien von Bauteilen wirtschaftlich Oberflächenbeschichten. Ist jedoch eine nachweislich hohe Qualität der Beschichtung gefordert, so läßt sich dieses Ziel nur mit hohen Ausschußquoten erreichen, da die Kontaktierung der Bauteile mit dem als Elektrode geschalteten Drehgestell aufgrund der schüttgutartigen Beschickung undefiniert bleiben muß und somit der Schichtdickenverlauf und dessen Qualitative Ausbildung höchst unterschiedlich ausfallen kann.The electroplating process is a widespread one Procedure if by applying protective layers On surfaces of large and small parts, their material technology Properties should be specifically improved. Essential for that The economic efficiency of such procedures during and after the coating as well as the used for this Devices. When coating small parts from one Mass series production is often used like a drum Electroplating frames with the components to be coated be filled in bulk and with the horizontal Drum axis can be used in the electroplating bath. Hereby large series of components can be surface coated economically. However, is a demonstrably high quality of Coating required, this goal can only be achieved with high Reject rates reach because the contacting of the components with the bogie switched as an electrode due to the bulk material Feeding must remain undefined and thus the layer thickness curve and its qualitative training varies widely can fail.

Hiervon ausgehend besteht die Aufgabe der Efindung darin, ein gattungsgemäßes Galvanisiermagazin zum Beschichten von Bauteilen anzugeben, mit welchem sich Bauteile in hohen Stückzahlen mit möglichst reproduzierbarer Beschichtungsqualität beschichten lassen.Proceeding from this, the task of the invention is to create a generic one Specify electroplating magazine for coating components with which components in large quantities with as possible Have reproducible coating quality coated.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention the task is characterized by Part of claim 1 specified features solved.

Das erfindungsgemäße Galvanisiermagazin hat den Vorteil, daß durch die regel- oder gleichmäßige Beabstandung der Bauteilaufnahmen in Umfangs- und Axialrichtung am Außenumfang des trommelförmigen Galvanisiermagazins eine definierte Beabstandung zur Anode des Galvanisierbades einhalten läßt. Zum einen wird hierdurch eine reproduzierbare und steuerbare Beschichtungsqualität der Bauteile in einem Großserienablauf ermöglicht, zum anderen ist das Galvanisiermagazin durch die definiert beabstandete Anordnung der Bauteilaufnahmen auf den Elektroden einer automatisierten Be- und Entstückung zugänglich, so daß eine individuelle Qualitätskontrolle der Bauteile wirtschaftlich durchführbar ist. Die außenliegenden Bauteilaufnahmen gewährleisten zudem, daß das Galvanisiermagazin bei den nicht unmittelbar zum Galvanisiervorgang gehörenden Verfahrensprozessen, wie Spülen, Aufrauhen und Trocknen ohne aufwendiges Umsetzen der Bauteile eingesetzt werden kann. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der Patentansprüche 2 bis 20.The electroplating magazine according to the invention has the advantage that through the regular or even spacing of the component holders in the circumferential and axial direction on the outer circumference of the drum-shaped electroplating magazine a defined spacing to the anode of the electroplating bath. For one thing thereby a reproducible and controllable coating quality the components in a large series process enables to another is the electroplating magazine due to the defined spacing Arrangement of the component holders on the electrodes of an automated Loading and dismounting accessible, so that an individual Quality control of the components economically is feasible. Ensure the external component receptacles moreover, that the electroplating magazine is not immediate Processes belonging to the electroplating process, such as Rinsing, roughening and drying without complex implementation of the Components can be used. Further advantageous embodiments the invention result from the features of the claims 2 to 20.

a side view of a galvanizing magazine with rod-shaped electrodes and
Fig. 2
2 shows a cross section through the electroplating magazine according to FIG. 1.

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte, um seine Magazinlängsachse L drehantreibbare Galvanisiermagazin 1 ist mit seiner Längsachse L vertikal stehend in ein nicht weiter dargestelltes Galvanisierbad zwecks Verchromung von Kleinbauteilen 2 eintauchbar. Zur Befestigung und Stromversorgung der die Kleinbauteile 2 tragenden, stabförmigen Elektroden 3 weist das Galvanisiermagazin 1 eine aus Kupfer gefertigte koaxiale, kreisförmige Verteilerscheibe 4 auf, die wiederum über einen elektrisch isolierenden und axial sich erstreckenden Zentralkörper 5 mit einer ebenfalls scheibenförmig ausgebildeten Halterung 6 verbunden ist. Zehn stabförmige Elektroden 3 sind im Zwischenraum der senkrecht auf dem Zentralkörper 5 stehenden Verteilerscheibe 4 und der ebenfalls senkrecht auf dem Zentralkörper 5 stehenden Halterung 6 revolverförmig um den Zentralkörper 5 angeordnet. Die Elektroden 3 sind jeweils an ihren beiden Enden über elektrodenseitig ausgebildete Fußteile 7 mit der Halterung 6 lagezentrierend steckverbunden bzw. über Schraubverbindungen 8 an der Verteilerscheibe 4 elektrisch leitend befestigt. Um den elektrischen Widerstand in der Schraubverbindung 8 zwischen Verteilerscheibe 4 und den Elektroden 3 möglichst gering zu halten, sind die die Schraubverbindungen 8, bildenden Schrauben 9 und elektrodenseitigen Innengewinde 10 mit Gold beschichtet. Entsprechend der Umfangsbeabstandung der Elektroden 3 weist die Verteilerscheibe 4 elektrodenseitig im Winkel von 36° umfangsbeabstandete und radial verlaufende Nuten 11 auf. Quer in diese Nuten 11 ragen jeweils die Innengewinde 10 aufnehmenden Hälse 12 der Elektroden 3, so daß nach Lösen der Schraubverbindungen 8 beim Kippen der Elektroden 3 um ihre Fußteile 7 die Hälse 12 radial aus den Nuten 11 herausfahren und somit die Elektroden 3 dem Galvanisiermagazin 1 entnommen werden können. Somit kann das Galvanisiermagazin 1 mit geringem Aufwand mit Elektroden 3 be- und entstückt werden. Lediglich beim Montieren der Elektroden 3 ist für eine optimale elektrische Verbindung auf eine feste Schraubverbindung 8 zu achten.The one shown in FIG. 1 that can be driven in rotation about its longitudinal axis L. Electroplating magazine 1 is vertical with its longitudinal axis L in a plating bath, not shown, for the purpose of chrome plating Small components 2 submersible. To attach and power the the small components 2 carrying rod-shaped electrodes 3 have this Electroplating magazine 1 a coaxial, circular made of copper Distribution disc 4, which in turn has an electrical insulating and axially extending central body 5 with a also disk-shaped bracket 6 is connected. Ten rod-shaped electrodes 3 are perpendicular to the gap the central body 5 standing distributor plate 4 and also Mount 6 revolver-shaped standing vertically on the central body 5 arranged around the central body 5. The electrodes 3 are each at both ends via foot parts 7 formed on the electrode side plug-connected to the bracket 6 in a position-centering manner or via screw connections 8 attached to the distributor plate 4 in an electrically conductive manner. To the electrical resistance in the screw 8 between Distribution disc 4 and the electrodes 3 as little as possible hold, are the screw connections 8, forming screws 9 and electrode-side internal thread 10 coated with gold. Corresponding the distributor plate 4 has the circumferential spacing of the electrodes 3 Radially spaced on the electrode side at an angle of 36 ° extending grooves 11. The each project transversely into these grooves 11 Internal thread 10 receiving necks 12 of the electrodes 3, so that after Loosen the screw connections 8 when the electrodes 3 tilt around them Foot parts 7 extend the necks 12 radially out of the grooves 11 and thus the electrodes 3 are removed from the electroplating magazine 1 can. Thus, the electroplating magazine 1 can be carried out with little effort Electrodes 3 are populated and dismantled. Only when assembling the Electrodes 3 is for optimal electrical connection to one fixed screw connection 8.

Am äußeren Umfang der Verteilerscheibe ist zum Drehantrieb des Galvanisiermagazins 1 ein Zahnkranz 13 ausgebildet. Sollen nun die Elektroden 3 von einer nicht weiter dargestellten Vorrichtung be- oder entstückt werden, so könen die für die Fixierung der Kleinbauteile 2 auf den Elektroden 3 vorgesehenen Bauteilaufnahmen 14 in eine exakte Be- bzw. Entstückungsposition durch Drehen des Galvanisiermagazins 1 um seine Magazinlängsachse L gebracht werden. Zudem kann das Galvanisiermagazin 1 beim Trocknen, Spülen oder Beschichten zur Wirkungssteigerung gedreht werden.On the outer circumference of the distributor disc is for the rotary drive of the electroplating magazine 1, a ring gear 13 is formed. Now the electrodes 3 loaded or from a device not shown can be detached, so that for fixing the small components 2 on the electrodes 3 provided component receptacles 14 in an exact Loading or dismounting position by turning the electroplating magazine 1 be brought about its longitudinal axis L. In addition, the electroplating magazine 1 when drying, rinsing or coating to increase effectiveness to be turned around.

Als zusätzliche elektrische Leitungsverbindung 15 ist jeweils zwischen Elektrode 3 und Verteilerscheibe 4 ein Elektrokabel vorgesehen, welches die Stromführung auch bei mangelhaftem Kontakt der Schraubverbindungen 8 sicherstellt. In Fig. 1 ist die Leitungsverbindung 15 stellvertretend für alle übrigen Elektroden nur an einer Elektrode 3' dargestellt. Eine Anlötfahne 16 stellt dabei die sichere Verbindung zwischen Elektrode 3' und Elektrokabel her.As an additional electrical line connection 15 is between Electrode 3 and distributor plate 4 an electrical cable is provided, which leads the current even if the contact is poor Screw connections 8 ensures. In Fig. 1 is the line connection 15 representative of all other electrodes only an electrode 3 'shown. A soldering tag 16 provides the secure connection between the electrode 3 'and the electrical cable forth.

In koaxialer Verlängerung ist an der Verteilerscheibe 4 jenseits der Elektroden 3 ein Schaft 17 ausgebildet, der eine konisch zum Schaftende 18 sich erweiternde Kontaktfläche 19 aufweist. Beim Einhängen des Schaftes 17 in eine Halteklaue 20 einer nicht weiter dargestellten Galvanisieranlage dient die Kontaktfläche 19 zum einen als Stromanschluß und als Haltekraft übertragendes Element des Galvanisiermagazins 1. Zudem läßt sich das Galvanisiermagazin 1 während des Beschichtungsvorganges, beim Spülen und beim Trocknen statt über den Drehkranz 13 über den Schaft 17 drehantreiben. Die großflächig ausgebildete Kontaktfläche 19 sorgt beim Beschichtungsvorgang für einen widerstandsarmen Stromübergang. In coaxial extension is on the distributor plate 4th Beyond the electrodes 3, a shaft 17 is formed, which is a conical to the shaft end 18 has widening contact surface 19. At the Hang the shaft 17 in a holding claw 20 no further shown electroplating system, the contact surface 19 is used an element that transmits power and holding force of the electroplating magazine 1. In addition, the electroplating magazine 1 during the coating process, during rinsing and drying instead of using the slewing ring 13 to drive the shaft 17. The large-area contact surface 19 ensures during the coating process for a low-resistance current transfer.

Wie in Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 gezeigt setzen sich die Elektroden 3 im wesentlichen jeweils aus einem elektrisch leitenden Elektrodenstab 21, einer die Bauteil aufnahmen 14 aufweisenden Blende 22 und aus einem innerhalb des Elektrodenstab 21 liegenden, stabförmigen Dauermagneten 23 zusammen. Zur Aufnahme zylindrischer Kleinbauteile 2 weist die Blende 22 eine Reihe als Bauteilaufnahmen 14 dienende Bohrlöcher auf, in welche die Kleinbauteile 2 eingesetzt werden und vom Längs des Elektrodenstab 21 erstreckenden Dauermagneten 23 mit elektrischem Kontakt auf der Elektrode 3 gehalten werden können. Die Bohrlochreihe R ist parallel zur Magazinlängsachse L ausgerichtet, was der Zugänglichkeit bei der automatischen Be- bzw. Entstückung entgegenkommt. Die Bauteilaufnahmen 14 sind gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandet wodurch die Beschichtung negativ beeinflussende elektrische oder magnetische Störungen ausgeschlossen werden. Dies führt wiederum zu einer gleichmäßigen Beschichtung der Kleinbauteile 2 unabhängig von ihrer Plazierung im Galvanisiermagazin 1. Die Bohrlochachsen A der Bauteilaufnahmen 14 stehen im wesentlichen senkrecht auf der Magazinlängsachse L, was ebenfalls eine reproduzierbar gute Schichtausbildung fördert und die automatische Be- und Entstückung erleichtert. Zum lagerichtigen Andocken einer Vorrichtung zum Ent- bzw. Bestücken der Elektroden 3 weisen diese jeweils als Positioniermittel 24 Zapfenlöcher auf.As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the electrodes 3 settle in essentially each from an electrically conductive electrode rod 21, one of the component receptacles 14 having aperture 22 and a rod-shaped permanent magnet located within the electrode rod 21 23 together. To accommodate small cylindrical components 2 the aperture 22 has a series of holes serving as component receptacles 14 in which the small components 2 are used and from Permanent magnets 23 extending along the electrode rod 21 and having electrical ones Contact can be kept on the electrode 3. The Hole row R is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the magazine, what the accessibility with the automatic loading and dismounting accommodates. The component receptacles 14 are evenly spaced apart spaced, thereby negatively influencing the coating electrical or magnetic interference can be excluded. this leads to again for a uniform coating of the small components 2 regardless of their placement in the electroplating magazine 1. The borehole axes A of the component receptacles 14 are essentially vertical on the longitudinal axis L of the magazine, which is also a reproducibly good one Shift training promotes and automatic loading and unloading facilitated. For correct docking of a device for or equipping the electrodes 3 each have positioning means 24 mortises.

Um eine lang dauernde Standfestigkeit des Galvanisiermagazins 1 zu gewährleisten ist der Werkstoff des Zentralkörpers 5 und der Halterung 6 aus einem elektrochemisch beständigen Kunststoff ausgeführt. Ebenso sind zum Schutz vor korrosiven Eigenschaften des Galvanikbades die Elektrodenstäbe 21 mit einer Schutzschicht versehen, sowie die Blende 22 aus einem elektrochemisch beständigen Kunststoff ausgeführt.For long-term stability of the electroplating magazine 1 is to ensure the material of the central body 5 and Bracket 6 made of an electrochemically resistant plastic.
