This utility model discloses an anti-leakage plating structure for a plastic metallized
waveguide antenna, relating to the field of
waveguide antenna technology. The anti-leakage plating structure for a plastic metallized
waveguide antenna includes a waveguide groove disposed on the waveguide antenna body. Each right-angle section inside the waveguide groove has a guiding surface to direct the flow of
electroplating solution. This utility model, by setting guiding surfaces in the form of arcs, slopes, or a combination of both at the right angles inside the waveguide groove, completely eliminates dead zones in the flow of
electroplating solution, guiding the plating solution smoothly and comprehensively covering the bottom and corners of the waveguide groove. This effectively solves the plating leakage problem that easily occurs in traditional inner right-angle structures, ensuring that the plating layer is complete and of uniform thickness, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the antenna's core
conductivity. Simultaneously, it eliminates the need for multiple
electroplating operations and increased plating
solution flow rates, simplifying the production process, reducing sensitivity to equipment parameters and debugging difficulty, improving production efficiency, and reducing electroplating costs.
