Abstract
An apparatus for jewelry surface processing characterized by a frame supported by a platform, of which one side is equipped with various solution containers for jewelry surface processing, further featuring a movable carbon brush capable of approaching the solution containers. The platform comprises an electroplating container station, a rinsing container station, a drying nozzle, a polishing station and an ultrasonic cleaner. A moving mechanism is mounted on the platform with a clamping mechanism that can rotate relative to the moving mechanism, allowing the clamping mechanism to shuttle between the various surface processing solution containers and the various surface processing stations.
Claims11
An apparatus for jewelry surface processing comprising a frame (1) and a platform (2) wherein the frame (1) is configured to be supported by the platform (2) horizontally;
- and the platform (2) is further characterized by:
- a front side of the platform (2) equipped with an electroplating container station (60) comprising an initial cleaning solution container (3), an electrolyte container (4), an activation solution container (5), and several electroplating solution containers (6);
- the platform (2) configured to feature a movable carbon brush (7) capable of approaching at least the electrolyte container (4), activation solution container (5), and electroplating solution containers (6);
- wherein:
- on a rear side of the carbon brush (7), the platform (2) is configured to include a rinsing container station (66), a drying nozzle (8), a polishing station (61), and an ultrasonic cleaner (9);
- the rinsing container station (66) comprises several cleaning solution containers (10) arranged sequentially based on increasing impurity concentration of the cleaning solution contained in the cleaning solution containers (10);
- and
- the polishing station (61) comprises a polishing rotary motor (11) with a polishing bowl (12) where polishing media are housed, the polishing bowl (12) is configured to be attached to an output shaft of the polishing rotary motor (11);
- and
- a moving mechanism (62) further is configured to be mounted on the platform (2), with a clamping mechanism (63) for securing jewelry wherein the clamping mechanism (63) is configured to rotate relative to the moving mechanism (62);
- the clamping mechanism (63) is configured to bring the jewelry into an electroplating solution container (6);
- and the carbon brush (7) is configured to approach and contact the clamping mechanism (63), creating an electrical circuit between the jewelry and the electroplating solution;
- and
- the frame (1) is further characterized by:
- a front end of the frame (1) configured to be fitted with a control screen (13) wherein the control screen (13) is electrically connected to a control system (64) in electrical communication with the control system (64);
- the control system (64) being configured to be in electrical communication with the rinsing container station (66) and the polishing station (61) on the platform (2);
- wherein
- the moving mechanism (62) is configured to operate the clamping mechanism (63) to shuttle between the initial cleaning solution container (3), the electrolyte container (4), the activation solution container (5), the electroplating solution containers (6), the rinsing container station (66), the drying pipe nozzle (8), the polishing station (61), and the ultrasonic cleaner (9) to perform jewelry cleaning, polishing, and electroplating.
