Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of surface treatment of parts, and in particular to a highly uniform silver plating process suitable for deep blind hole features. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of copper parts for communication applications, electroplating is the main process. Depending on the requirements of the parts, one or more single metal or alloy electroplating processes are selected to electroplat or dip-plat the parts to achieve the purposes of corrosion resistance, wear resistance and aesthetics.
[0003] Some components need to be silver-plated inside holes. Before silver plating, the components need to be cleaned with chemical liquid. The holes of the silver-plated components are machined, while the holes of the deep-hole components are welded. There are thick layers of dirt, residual flux, and oxides inside the deep holes. These dirt are difficult to clean in the deep holes. If they are not cleaned properly, they will affect the silver plating process. In addition, since some holes are made on the side of the components, they are even more difficult to clean.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a highly uniform silver plating process suitable for deep blind hole features to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly uniform silver plating process suitable for deep blind hole features, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-uniformity silver plating process suitable for deep blind holes, comprising the following steps: First, use cotton yarn dipped in gasoline or other organic solvents to wipe the inner and outer surfaces of the workpiece, especially for deep inner holes, the wiping should be strengthened. For deeper holes with a certain curvature, special tools should be made according to the shape of the hole to wipe the oil and flux on the inner surface of the workpiece.
[0007] The second step is to inject cleaning liquid into the hole and use a cleaning device to remove oil and clean the hole.
[0008] The third step is to use auxiliary anodes for deep hole parts. The placement of the auxiliary anodes must be very careful. In addition, for the auxiliary anodes inside the deep hole, cross-shaped fixing clips are threaded onto the silver wire to ensure that the auxiliary anodes are located in the center of the deep hole, so that the silver wire and the hole can be electroplated.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the support platform is provided with a support plate, and the top of the support plate is provided with a top platform.
[0014] Preferably, a heating plate is provided at the top of the top platform, and a silver-plated part is engaged at the top of the heating plate.
[0015] Preferably, both ends of the rotating plate are provided with rotating shafts, which rotate on the two upright plates. One of the rotating shafts passes through the rotating plate, and an auxiliary handle is provided at the end through which it passes.
[0016] Preferably, a fixing block is provided at the center of the top of the lifting platform, and telescopic members are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the fixing block.

At this time, the heating plate 25 is activated, and the heating wire inside the heating plate 25 heats the silver-plated part 26, which can dry the gaps or holes of the silver-plated part 26 and prevent moisture or liquid residue from remaining during the silver plating process, which would lead to silver plating failure.
[0034] Two through slots 9 are provided on one side of the top of the lifting platform 8. Each through slot 9 is equipped with a cleaning device 29. The cleaning device 29 includes a vertical plate 13. There are two vertical plates 13, which are respectively located on both sides of the through slot 9. A rotating plate 15 is rotatably arranged between the two vertical plates 13. A motor 16 is provided on one side of the rotating plate 15. A drive shaft 18 is provided at the bottom end of the motor 16. The drive shaft 18 passes through the rotating plate 15 and is connected to a base plate 17 at the end of the shaft.

One of the rotating shafts passes through the rotating plate 15 and is provided with an auxiliary handle 14 at the end of the shaft that passes through it.
[0037] In actual operation of the present invention, the user can rotate the auxiliary handle 14 to make the rotating plate 15 rotate on the two upright plates 13, so that the tapered cylinder 22 at the bottom end of the base plate 17 can be tilted at an angle inside the through groove 9, and the silver-plated parts 26 with different tilt angles can be cleaned inside the holes.
[0038] Personnel can align the conical cylinder 22 with the deep hole on the side of the silver-plated part 26. At this time, the motor 16 starts and drives the conical cylinder 22 to rotate through the drive shaft 18. At this time, the cleaning strip 23 on the outside of the conical cylinder 22 will rotate inside the hole to clean the dust, impurities and liquid residue inside the hole. It should be noted that the cleaning strip 23 is made of soft material and can be squeezed.
[0039] In addition, while the conical cylinder 22 is rotating for cleaning, the air pump 20 is started, and high-pressure gas is input into the inside of the retaining ring 19 through the connecting pipe 21. Since the conical cylinder 22 is provided with a connecting ring 27 on the side near the retaining ring 19, and the outer ring of the connecting ring 27 is provided with an annular groove 28, the high-pressure gas is input into the inside of the conical cylinder 22 through the annular groove 28, and is input into the inside of the silver-plated part 26 through the through hole opened at the bottom of the conical cylinder 22, blowing out residual liquid and dust impurities from the hole.
