Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0076343 (published on July 13, 2009) U.S. Published Patent Application No. 2008/0142461 (published on June 19, 2008) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0097010 (published on September 2, 2013) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0026874 (published on March 6, 2014)

In the structure using the conventional clip, it is difficult and inconvenient to attach and detach the product to be plated.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention proposes a plating rack apparatus for elastically pressing the opposite side of a plated body in a direction facing a projecting terminal for supporting a plated body.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a plating apparatus for plating a plating object, comprising: a plurality of protruding terminals formed on a side of a stem frame, Fixing bracket; And a plurality of elastic members provided with pressing protrusions for elastically pressing the plated body opposite to the supporting direction, the plurality of elastic members being formed to extend from the fixing brackets, respectively, facing the protruding terminals of the neighboring fixing brackets in the horizontal direction, A rack device for plating comprising a handle is proposed.

At this time, the elastic handle may have an elastic section formed between the joint portion with the fixing bracket and the pressing projection. At this time, the handle section between the pressing projection and the end has greater flexural rigidity than the elastic section.

For example, the elastic handle may be formed as an integral bar plate having a predetermined thickness, which is coupled to an opposite surface of the fixing bracket on which the protruding terminal is formed, at an inclined angle. At this time, an elongated hole may be formed in the elastic section between the engaging portion and the pressing projection. In addition, the handle section is formed so as not to be in parallel with the direction of the elastic section, and can be bent around the longitudinal direction of the knob section so as to be convex to the same direction as the protruding direction of the pressing protrusion.

For example, a plurality of fixing brackets may be formed in both horizontal directions along the stem frame. In another example, the plating rack apparatus further includes an electrode ring bracket having a main body frame in which a plurality of stem frames are formed in the vertical direction, and electrode rings extending from the upper end of the main frame and sandwiching the electrode bar of the plating bath.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, another aspect of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a plurality of stem frames, each of which is formed by a plurality of vertically arranged long stem frames and a plurality of vertically- A body frame; An electrode ring bracket protruding upward from an upper end of the body frame and inserted into an electrode rod of the plating vessel during plating to supply current; And a protruding terminal protruding from one end surface on the end side and inserted into the hole of the plated body to supply current to the plated body and being formed to be inclined at the other surface on the end side And a plurality of fixing brackets having elastic pressing plates for elastically pressing the opposite sides of the plated bodies sandwiched between the projecting terminals and the projecting terminals of the adjacent fixing brackets.

For example, the elastic pressing plate has a pressing protrusion bent to protrude toward the facing protruding terminal side and pressing the opposite side of the plated body, an elastic section formed in front of the pressing protrusion to elastically bend the pressing protrusion to provide a pressing force of the pressing protrusion, And a handle section formed on the rear side. At this time, the handle section may have a greater flexural rigidity than the elastic section and may be formed so as to be parallel to the extending direction of the fixing bracket or inclined toward the extending direction of the fixing bracket.

1 to 3, a plating rack apparatus according to one example includes a plurality of fixing brackets 30 and a plurality of elastic knobs 50. As shown in Fig. 1, in another example, the plating rack apparatus further includes a main body frame 10 and an electrode ring bracket 20. [ For example, the plating rack apparatus according to one example can be used for anodizing electroplating, but is not limited thereto. Each configuration will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, a plurality of fixing brackets 30 will be described. A plurality of fixing brackets (30) are formed to extend in a branch shape along the stem frame (11). For example, the fixing brackets 30 may be formed at regular intervals along the stem frame 11 and may extend in a horizontal direction or a horizontal direction, for example, in the form of a branch. In addition, in one example, the fixing bracket 30 can extend in the form of a branch vertically along the stem frame 11 in the horizontal direction. Each of the fixing brackets 30 has a protruding terminal 31 formed on one side thereof. The projecting terminal 31 supports the plated body 1 and supplies current to the plated body 1 when plating. For example, referring to FIG. 1, the number of the projecting terminals 31 may be two, but is not limited thereto. For example, the protruding terminal 31 can be fitted into the hole 1a of the plated body 1. On the other hand, the plated body 1 may be an electronic device case such as a cellular phone metal case, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, referring to FIG. 3, in one example, a plurality of fixing brackets 30 are formed so as to extend in the form of branches in both horizontal directions along the stem frame 11 formed in the horizontal direction.

For example, the stem frame 11 forms a body frame 10 to be described next. For example, a plurality of stem frames 11 may be formed in the vertical direction, and vertical frames 13 may be provided at both ends of the stem frames 11 to form the body frame 10.

Referring to FIG. 3, in one example, the stem frame 11 may be connected to the electrode ring bracket 20 to conduct current. At this time, current is conducted to the protruding terminal 31 formed on the fixing bracket 30 via the stem frame 11 through the electrode ring bracket 20. For example, at this time, the surface material of the stem frame 11, the fixing bracket 30, and the protruding terminal 31 is made of, for example, titanium, and plating of the plating rack apparatus can be prevented in addition to the plated body 1. The material of the surface of the electrode ring bracket 20 and the elastic handle 50 is also made of, for example, a titanium material, so that the surface of the electrode ring bracket 20 and the elastic handle 50 can be substantially prevented from being plated.

Next, a plurality of elastic grips 50 will be described. A plurality of elastic grips (50) are respectively formed to extend from the fixing bracket (30). For example, protruding terminals 31 may be formed on one side of each of the fixing brackets 30 and an elastic handle 50 may be formed on the opposite side. The elastic handle (50) is provided with a pressing protrusion (51) for pressing the plated body (1). At this time, the pressing protrusion 51 faces the protruding terminal 31 of the adjacent fixing bracket 30 in the horizontal direction. The pressing projection 51 elastically presses the plated body 1 supported by the projecting terminal 31 of the adjacent fixing bracket 30 in the opposite direction of the supporting direction. For example, the pressing projection 51 protrudes from the intermediate portion of the elastic handle 50 toward the protruding terminal 31 of the neighboring fixing bracket 30.

For example, the elastic handle 50 may be provided in each of the remaining fixing brackets 30 except for the at least one outermost fixing bracket 30 among the plurality of fixing brackets 30, which are horizontally heated in each of the stem frames 11, .

For example, in one example, the elastic handle 50 may be formed of an integral bar plate. At this time, the integral bar plate may have a predetermined thickness. The integral bar plate is coupled to the opposite surface of the fixing bracket 30 on which the protruding terminal 31 is formed at an inclined angle. For example, at this time, the pressing projection 51 may be formed by bending at an intermediate portion of the integral bar plate.

Further, in one example, the elastic handle 50 is formed with an elastic section between the engaging portion with the fixing bracket 30 and the pressing protrusion 51. At this time, the elastic section elastically presses the plated body 1 supported by the projecting terminal 31 of the neighboring fixing bracket 30. That is, the elastic section is elastically bent in a direction opposite to the pressing direction of the pressing protrusion 51 so that the plated body 1 is held by the protruding terminal 31 of the neighboring fixing bracket 30, The elastic section presses the opposite side in the supporting direction of the plated body 1 by the elastic force. The elastic section can be implemented in various ways. When the elastic handle 50 is an integral plate material, it may be different in thickness, width, or the like. In case of the integral plate material having the same thickness, So that the elastic force can be varied.

For example, the elastic section may be formed such that an elongated hole 53 is formed between the engaging portion and the pressing protrusion 51 to have flexural elasticity.

In one example, the elastic grip 50 is formed with a grip section 55. At this time, the handle section 55 between the pressing projection 51 and the end of the elastic handle 50 is formed to have greater flexural rigidity than the elastic section. For example, the elastic section and the grip section 55 may be made of different materials, or may have elasticity or flexural rigidity different from each other in terms of thickness, width, or unit length in the case of the same material, or may be made of the same material and thickness Elasticity or flexural rigidity may be varied by varying the area per width or unit length in the elastic section or by forming the elongated hole 53 in the elastic section or by bending the knob section 55 to increase the flexural rigidity.

In addition, in one example, the grip section 55 may be formed so as not to be parallel to the direction of the elastic section. That is, the elastic section and the knob section 55 are formed to be inclined. At this time, the elastic section is inclined in a direction away from the fixing bracket 30, and the knob section 55 is extended from the pressing projection 51 in a direction parallel to the fixing bracket 30 or in the direction approaching the fixing bracket 30 . This makes it easier to bend the plated body 1 in the opposite direction to the pressing direction when the plated body 1 is fitted into the projecting terminal 31. [

For example, the knob section 55 may be bent around the longitudinal direction of the knob section 55 so as to be convex to the side in the same direction as the protruding direction of the pressing projection 51. Accordingly, the integral plate having the same material and the same thickness can have flexural rigidity larger than that of the elastic section. For example, the bending angle may range from 90 degrees to 150 degrees. For example, when the bending angle is about 110 degrees, the flexural rigidity can be increased by about two times.

Next, a plating rack apparatus according to one example will be described with reference to Fig. At this time, the plating rack apparatus may further include a main body frame 10 and an electrode ring bracket 20. The main body frame 10 may have a plurality of stem frames 11 and a both-end vertical frame 13. The plurality of stem frames 11 may be formed to be long in the horizontal direction, and many may be arranged in the vertical direction. In addition, the both-end vertical frames 13 are provided at both ends of the plurality of stem frames 11 arranged in the vertical direction.

Further, the electrode ring bracket 20 has the electrode ring 21. The electrode ring 21 extends from the upper end of the main body frame 10 and is fitted into an electrode rod (not shown) of a plating bath (not shown). The electrode ring bracket (20) conducts current flowing through the electrode ring (21). At this time, a current flowing through the electrode ring bracket 20 is conducted to the stem frame 11, the fixing bracket 30, and the protruding terminal 31.

As a comparative example, a racking device for plating in which an operator clamps a clip to fit in a hole of a product to be plated, thereby removing the product while the worker pulls back the product when the product is to be plated, There is a lot of power in the hands and it takes a long time to attach / detach. On the other hand, according to one example of the present invention, the plated body 1 can be easily mounted / detached only by simply bending the handle. In addition, it is difficult to spatially insert a large amount of product into the apparatus for plating the clip by screwing the clip into the hole of the product to be plated, but according to the example of the present invention, it is possible to input a large number of products.

For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the clipping ability of the equipment for fitting the clips into the holes of the product to be plated can be increased more than twice, and the mounting and detachment of the product to be plated (1) It becomes easy. For example, the product can be arranged upright at right angles to increase the input capability, and the one-touch integral type handle of the plate is opened to one side, thereby facilitating the mounting and detachment of the product to be plated.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, stability and convenience of the operator are increased compared to the plating rack apparatus according to the comparative example, and the number of the objects to be plated can be increased. In addition, the manufacturing cost is reduced by a simple structure.

Next, a plating rack apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, it will be described with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments and Figs. 1 to 3, and redundant explanations can be omitted.

The plating rack apparatus according to one example includes a main body frame 10, an electrode ring bracket 20, and a plurality of fixing brackets 30. Let's look at each configuration in detail.

At this time, the main body frame 10 has a plurality of stem frames 11 and a both-end vertical frame 13. A plurality of stem frames 11 are arranged in the vertical direction, and each of the stem frames 11 is elongated in the horizontal direction. The both-end vertical frame 13 supports both ends of the plurality of stem frames 11.

Next, the electrode ring bracket 20 protrudes upward from the upper end of the main body frame 10 and is inserted into an electrode (not shown) of a plating vessel (not shown) during plating to supply current. At this time, the electrode ring 21 formed at the end of the electrode ring bracket 20 can be inserted into an electrode rod (not shown).

Next, a plurality of fixing brackets 30 are formed so as to extend in a horizontal direction in each of the stem frames 11 in a branch shape. At this time, each of the fixing brackets 30 has the protruding terminal 31 and the elastic pressing plate 50. At this time, the projecting terminal 31 protrudes from one surface of the end side of each fixing bracket 30, is inserted into the hole 1a of the plated body 1, and supplies current to the plated body 1. The elastic pressing plate 50 is formed to be inclined at the other surface on the end side of each fixing bracket 30. At this time, the elastic pressing plate 50 elastically presses the opposite side of the plated body 1 fitted to the projecting terminal 31, facing the projecting terminal 31 of the adjacent neighboring fixing bracket 30. At this time, the elastic pressing plate 50 may correspond to the elastic grip 50 of the configuration according to the above-described invention.

For example, the elastic pressing plate 50 includes a pressing protrusion 51, an elastic section and a knob section 55. The pressing projection portion 51 is bent so as to protrude toward the protruding terminal 31 side facing the intermediate pressing portion of the elastic pressing plate 50 and presses the opposite side of the plated body 1. The elastic section is formed in front of the pressing projection 51 so as to provide a pressing force of the pressing projection 51 and is elastically bent. The knob section 55 is formed at the rear of the pressing projection 51.

At this time, in one example, the grip section 55 of the elastic pressing plate 50 has greater flexural rigidity than the elastic section. The handle section 55 may be formed so as to be parallel to the direction of the elastic section and extend obliquely to the direction of extension of the fixing bracket 30 or to the direction of extension of the fixing bracket 30.
