Description

Plating machine

The present invention relates to an electroplating machine for electroplating operations, and more particularly to an electroplating machine that converts a clamping device from a clamping state to an opening device to enable the electroplating plate to be separated from the clamping device.

Generally, the electroplating process mainly passes through the electrolysis process, and after the input current is applied to the anode and the cathode, the metal ions in the electroplating solution are attracted to the cathode, and after being reduced, it is plated on the object to be plated by the cathode, and the metal of the anode is redissolved. Providing more metal ions in the plating solution, so that the electroplating process continues until a sufficient plating layer is deposited on the object to be plated.

However, in general, the electroplating process is performed by sandwiching the object to be plated through a conventional jig structure for electroplating operations. Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional jig structure 1 is mainly composed of a first clamp 10 and a second. The clamping member 11 and a pushing spring 12 are provided. The first clamping member 10 has a pivoting block 101, a first clamping arm 102 on a side of the pivoting block 101, and a pivoting block 101 opposite to the pivoting block 101. The first clamping arm 103 on one side of the first clamping arm 102, and the second clamping member 11 has two pivoting arms 111 pivoted on the pivoting block 101, and one side of the two pivoting arms 111 has one The second clamping arm 112 has a second pressing arm 113 on the other opposite side. The one end of the pushing spring 12 is mounted on the first pressing arm 103 of the first clamping member 10, and the other end is mounted on the first end. The second pressing arm 113 of the second clamping member 11 is biased toward the first pressing arm 103 and the second pressing arm 113 to pass the first clamping arm 102 and the second clamping arm 112. The pivoting block 101 and the pivoting arm 111 are pivotally connected to each other, so that the above-mentioned conventional clamp structure 1 is continuously clamped. .

In the above-mentioned conventional clamp structure 1 , the first clamping arm 102 and the second clamping arm 112 of the conventional clamp structure 1 are clamped to the object to be plated, and when the object to be plated is completed, In the past, it is necessary to manually apply an external force to the first pressing arm 103 and the second pressing arm 113 to separate the first clamping arm 102 and the second clamping arm 112 from each other to make the above-mentioned conventional clamp structure 1 The unfolded state is exhibited, so that the object to be plated can be separated from the above-described conventional jig structure 1.

However, once the conventional clamp structure 1 is in an unfolded state, the pushing spring 12 pushes against the first pressing arm 103 and the second pressing arm 113, forcing the first clamping arm 102 and the second clamping. The arms 112 are in contact with each other. Therefore, when the conventional clamp structure 1 is changed from the clamped state to the open state, the operator needs to apply a large external force to the first pressure applying arm 103 and the second pressure applying arm 113. Otherwise, It is more difficult to separate the object to be plated from the above-described conventional jig structure 1, thereby causing inconvenience to the operator in use.

In view of this, the conventional jig structure still has some deficiencies in disassembling the plate, and it is necessary to improve, by creating an electroplating machine, and the electroplating machine can perform the conventional jig structure in a non-manual manner. It can be easily changed from the clamped state to the open state, so that the plated plate can be easily separated from the conventional clamp structure, thereby improving production efficiency.

Moreover, when the two transmission assemblies simultaneously assemble the driving device, the synchronization mechanism further has a switching assembly mounted on one of the two transmission components, and the switching assembly can change the rotation direction of the driving device into another direction. Thereby, when the driving device rotates in one of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction, the two transmission components rotate in different directions.

Provided in the accommodating seat, the portion of the connecting rod that is not disposed in the accommodating seat forms an exposed portion. When the two pressing mechanisms change the width of the moving channel, the accommodating seat and the connecting rod are both At the same time, the relative position between each other is changed, thereby changing the length of the exposed section.

The abutting mechanism 71 defines a moving passage 72 through which the clamping device 60 passes between the two pressing mechanisms 71, and the moving passage 72 has a pressing portion 721 for pressing against the clamping device 60.

Referring to FIG. 5, in the specific application of the first preferred embodiment, the clamp 61 of the clamping device 60 clamps the plating plate 80 to cause the clamp 61 to be clamped, and the driving device 30 drives the above. The clamping device 60 is moved along the moving path 40, so that the plating plate 80 is moved to a plating bath (not shown) having a plating solution for performing a plating operation, and after the plating plate 80 is completed, the plating machine is completed. The driving device 30 of the table 2 will continue to move the clamping device 60 to move the plated plate 80 to the moving passage 72 of the releasing device 70, and the clamping device 60 enters the pressing portion of the moving passage 72. 721, the jig 61 of the holding device 60 is sequentially pressed by the pressing portion 721 to be turned from the clamped state to the open state, so that the plated plate 80 can be detached from the jig 61.

The two transmission components 741 are respectively assembled to the pressing components 712 of the two pressing mechanisms 71, wherein one of the two transmission components 741 is directly connected. The driving device 30 is indirectly connected to the driving device 30 through the switching component 742, and the switching component 742 can change the rotation direction of the driving device 30 to another direction, whereby the driving device 30 performs the When the hour hand and the counterclockwise rotate in one direction, the two transmission components 741 rotate in different directions, and the driving device 30 transmits the clamping device 60 and the two pushing forces simultaneously through the transmission device 50 and the synchronization mechanism 74. The assembly 712 is actuated to cause the moving speed of the clamping device 60 to be the same as described above. The moving speed of the assembly 712 is pushed. However, the two transmission assemblies 741 are simultaneously assembled to the driving device 30 for convenience of description, that is, the two transmission assemblies 741 are respectively assembled with a driving assembly having the same operating speed as the driving device 30, whereby the driving device 30 and When the driving assembly drives the clamping device 60 and the pressing assembly 712 respectively, the operating speeds of the clamping device 60 and the pressing assembly 712 are the same.
