Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate production of diversified kinds in small quantities and to enable the perfect automation of plating operations by forming spiral transporting paths on the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical plating cell and vibrating this plating cell in a circumferential direction and vertical direction by an exciter. CONSTITUTION:The base of the plating cell 1 projects in the central part from the circumference and, therefore, if members A to be plated are fed between the inner periphery of the transporting paths 2 and anode plates 5, the members A to be plated are gathered to the peripheral part of the plating cell by the vibrations in the exciter 10 and are eventually introduced to the transporting paths 2. The members A to be plated are thereafter subjected to the plating treatment while the members are moved above in the transporting paths 2 according to the vibration of the plating cell 10. These members are taken out of the plating cell 1 to the outside through an ejection port 6. The perfect automation of the operations to feed and take out the members A to be plated is thus possible. Further, the members A to be plated fed to the plating cell 1 are taken out without allowing the plating liquid to flow out. The consumption of the plating liquid is thus reduced.

In the above-described plating apparatus, a batch process is performed in which an amount of the member to be plated that can be stored in the barrel is put into the plating tank at one time and the member to be plated is taken out after the plating is completed. Therefore, if the amount of plated members per batch is small, the cost will increase and there is a problem that it is not suitable for high-mix low-volume production.
Further, since the member to be plated is put in and taken out of the barrel, there is a problem that it is difficult to completely automate the plating work. Furthermore, when the barrel is taken out of the plating tank, the plating solution adheres to the barrel. Therefore, there is a problem that the consumption of the plating solution increases.

According to the structure of claim 1, the spiral transport path is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical plating tank, and the plating tank is vibrated in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction by the vibrator. The member to be plated is moved upward along the transport path, and by transporting the member to be plated in one direction along the transport path formed in the plating tank,
It is possible to perform the plating operation of the member to be plated by continuous processing instead of batch processing. That is, as compared with batch processing, the cost required for plating does not increase even when the number of members to be plated is small, and the cost increase in the plating process does not occur even when a large number of different types of products are produced in small quantities. Moreover, since the member to be plated is conveyed from the bottom to the upper part of the conveying path, the plated member to be plated can be taken out from the upper portion of the plating tank. Since the liquid can be taken out without flowing out, there is no need to use a barrel as in the conventional case, and the members to be plated put in the plating tank can be taken out one after another, resulting in the loading and unloading of the plating member. It will be possible to completely automate the work. Further, since the barrel is not used, the plating liquid does not adhere to the barrel and is not brought out to the outside, and the consumption of the plating liquid is greatly reduced as compared with the case where the barrel is used. Further, environmental pollution can be reduced by reducing the outflow amount of the plating solution from the plating tank.

As described above, the movable base 11 of the vibration exciter 10 vibrates in the rotational direction and the vertical direction by the excitation / non-excitation of the electromagnetic solenoid 14,
Since the plating tank 1 is coupled to the movable table 11, the vibration tank 10 can vibrate the plating tank 1 in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction. Therefore, the electromagnetic solenoid 1
4 is excited, the member A to be plated on the transport path 2 is lifted up by the obliquely upward force, and when the electromagnetic solenoid 14 is de-energized, the member A to be plated rolls on the transport path 2 and moves upward. Proceed to. Since the transfer path 2 is cantilevered here, the plating tank 1 using the vibrator 10 is used.
The vibration of the carrier path 2 causes the transport path 2 to sway, and as shown by the arrow in FIG. 3, the plating solution contained in the plating tank 1 is agitated. If the vibration cycle of the vibrator 10 is set to resonate with the plating tank 1, a strong water flow is generated from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side of the plating tank 1 due to the wobbling motion of the transport path 2. The plating liquid can be sufficiently brought into contact with the member A to be plated, and plating can be performed efficiently.

On the other hand, when the plating tank 1 vibrates, the member A to be plated is easily separated from the cathode 3, and the larger the vibration amplitude is, the shorter the plating time is. Therefore, the plating time is increased. It is desirable that the vibration of the plating tank 1 by the vibrator 10 be performed intermittently. That is,
Since the amplitude and cycle of the vibration of the plating tank 1 are related to the efficiency of plating, the efficiency of plating is, as shown in FIG. 4, between the cathode 3 and the anode plate 5 connected to the DC power supply 24. Since it can be known from the energized current, the control circuit is based on the vibration of the plating tank 1 detected by the vibration sensor 21 and the energized current between the cathode 3 and the anode plate 5 detected by the current detector 22. The amplitude and the cycle of the vibration by the vibration exciter 10 are controlled through 20. Here, the control circuit 20 is a digital circuit using a microcomputer or the like, and the output of the vibration sensor 21 is A /
It is converted into a digital signal by the D converter 23. In this way, by controlling the amplitude and cycle of the vibration of the shaker 10 based on the vibration of the plating tank 1 and the plating current, the amount of the member A to be plated in the plating tank 1, the type of the plating solution, etc. Even if the resonance frequency of the plating tank 1 fluctuates, the vibration cycle of the vibration exciter 10 can be made to correspond to the change of the plating tank 1, and the plating process can be controlled to be performed appropriately. is there.

According to the present invention, a member to be plated is formed by forming a spiral conveying path on the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical plating tank and vibrating the plating tank in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction by a vibrator. Is moved upward along the transport path, so that there is an effect that the plating operation of the member to be plated can be performed by continuous processing instead of batch processing. That is, compared with the batch processing, there is an advantage that the cost required for plating does not increase even when the number of members to be plated is small, and the cost does not increase in the plating process even when a small number of various products are produced. Moreover, the plated member is
Since the member to be plated that has been transported from the bottom to the top of the transport path can be taken out from the top of the plating tank,
The members to be plated that have been put into the plating tank can be sequentially taken out, and as a result, it becomes possible to completely automate the work of putting and taking out the plated members. Furthermore, the member to be plated in the plating tank can be taken out without causing the plating solution to flow out, and since the barrel is not used, the consumption of the plating solution can be greatly reduced.
Further, there is an advantage that environmental pollution can be reduced by reducing the outflow amount of the plating solution from the plating tank.
