Description
An electroplating apparatus for a composite copper current collector Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electroplating technology for composite current collectors, and more specifically to an electroplating apparatus for a composite copper current collector. Background Technology
[0002] Composite copper current collectors are formed by dissolving copper ions in an electrolyte and then using electroplating technology to uniformly plate a copper layer onto both the upper and lower surfaces of an intermediate base film. Currently, two methods are used for plating the copper layer onto the base film: clamp plating and cathode roller plating. With clamp plating, the base film is deformed due to the clamping force on its edges. During roller transmission, this can easily cause deviations, leading to wrinkles and cracks in the base film. Furthermore, clamp plating results in a large number of conductive points and numerous connectors for the power supply wires. There are problems of wasted conductive power and high manufacturing costs; the latter is composed of a cathode roller and an insoluble anode titanium blue. When the power is turned on, the anode and cathode are subjected to electric field force. Without external force, the cathode roller cannot rotate. Therefore, the cathode roller in the electrolyte is subject to copper ion adhesion during electroplating, and the copper layer of the base film is easily damaged by friction. Even when the cathode roller is driven by an external servo motor, there are still problems of wrinkles in the base film caused by liquid pressure and the length of the electroplating tank.
[0003] Therefore, after comparing the two existing methods of clip plating and cathode roller plating, cathode roller plating has the advantages of saving energy, convenient power supply, reduced manufacturing cost, saving raw materials and eliminating the need for stripping compared to clip plating. In this plating technology, the cathode roller has an insoluble anode, which requires the continuous addition of copper ions into the electrolyte. However, the uneven concentration of copper ions added to the electrolyte causes uneven copper plating layer. In addition, the anode and cathode under the action of electric field force cannot rotate on their own to transmit the base film, making it difficult for the base film to pass through the electrolyte at a uniform speed, and thus cannot ensure the uniform thickness of the copper plating layer. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electroplating apparatus for a composite copper current collector to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention discloses an electroplating apparatus for a composite copper current collector, comprising an electrolytic cell. From one end to the other on the outer side of the electrolytic cell, a plurality of sets of water inlets and outlets are sequentially arranged. From one end to the other inside the electrolytic cell, a flattening and wrinkle-removing roller shaft, a stainless steel cathode roller, a copper oxide ball adding device, a rectifier conductive assembly, a base film stretching roller assembly, and an anode titanium blue double-layer plate are sequentially arranged. The rectifier conductive assembly and the base film stretching roller assembly are arranged in an alternating configuration. The rectifier conductive assembly is fixedly connected to the anode titanium blue double-layer plate, and the copper oxide ball adding device and the anode titanium blue double-layer plate are movably connected.
[0006] The base film stretching roller assembly includes a conductive column, a motor, a gear, a rotating shaft, and a conveying wheel. The conductive column has a machine compartment inside, and the motor is located inside the machine compartment. The top of the motor is fixedly connected to the side of the gear, the other side of the gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, and the side of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conveying wheel.
[0007] Optionally, the copper oxide ball adding device includes a gravity sensor plate, a handle, a copper ball mesh frame, a hydraulic cylinder, and ball meshes. The middle part of the upper surface of the gravity sensor plate and the middle part of the lower surface of the upper end of the copper ball mesh frame are connected by transmission through the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the hydraulic cylinder. The middle part of the side of the gravity sensor plate is fixedly connected to the end face of the handle. Several ball meshes are fixedly connected to the bottom of the copper ball mesh frame, and several liquid passage holes are opened on the side of the copper ball mesh frame.
[0008] Optionally, the anode titanium blue double-layer plate includes a titanium blue plate, and the interior of the titanium blue plate has a groove for placing copper balls.
[0009] Optionally, the flattening and wrinkle-removing roller includes a fixed roller frame, a central shaft, and rollers. The inner sides of the fixed roller frame are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the central shaft, and the sides of the central shaft are movably connected to the inner wall of the rollers.
[0010] Optionally, the stainless steel cathode roller includes a set of fixed roller blocks, and a cathode roller shaft is disposed inside the fixed roller blocks.
[0011] Optionally, the lower surface shape of the rectifier conductive component is the same as the upper surface shape of the base film stretching roller component, and both are arc-shaped to prevent scratching the base film; there are two anode titanium blue double-layer plates, which are placed on the upper and lower sides of the base film respectively, and the distance from the base film surface is 2-3cm. The wall thickness of the anode titanium blue double-layer plate is 2-5mm, which is used as a soluble anode. Copper balls are added and dissolved in the electrolyte to diffuse copper ions in the solution for electroplating the upper and lower surfaces of the base film.
[0012] Optionally, the extension height of the hydraulic cylinder is 3-6cm, used to adjust the height of the copper ball mesh frame from the surface of the gravity sensor plate and to control the height of the copper balls inside the mesh from the base film in the electrolyte. When the copper balls inside the mesh frame are consumed and reduced during continuous electrolysis, their copper ion concentration and height from the base film change, which is used to improve electroplating efficiency. The shape of the mesh is hemispherical, and its diameter is d<6cm, which is used to uniformly add the concentration of copper ions in the electrolyte and increase the dissolution surface area. During the electroplating process, the copper plating layer thickness is 900-1150nm.
[0013] Optionally, the copper oxide ball adding device is connected to an electrolyte detection module, which includes a copper ion detector. The copper ion detector detects the concentration of dissolved copper ions in the copper balls placed inside the copper ball mesh frame in real time after contacting the electrolyte, and transmits the detection signal to the electrolyte detection module to determine the copper ion concentration value in the electrolyte. Based on the decrease in the mass of the dissolved copper balls during electrolysis, the hydraulic cylinder is raised to adjust the copper ball mesh frame according to the pressure sensing of the gravity sensor plate, and the height of the copper ions in the electrolyte from the base film is continuously fine-tuned.
[0014] The base film stretching roller assembly is connected to a servo motor synchronous drive module, which includes a uniform speed control unit. The uniform speed control unit controls several pairs of motors inside the machine chamber to perform synchronous drive at the same frequency and speed. Under uniform speed, the conveyor wheel uses constant force to convey both sides of the base film in the electrolyte, so that it is uniformly electroplated during the electroplating process, without wrinkles, and will not be torn or broken due to uneven force.
[0015] Optionally, the stainless steel cathode roller, the rectifier conductive component, and the anode titanium blue double-layer plate are all connected to an anode and cathode conductive rectifier module. The anode and cathode conductive rectifier module includes a rectifier parameter display and control unit. The parameters of the rectifier parameter display and control unit include current density, electric field strength, and current magnitude. The rectifier parameter display and control unit adjusts the parameters of the stainless steel cathode roller and the anode titanium blue double-layer plate according to the required copper layer thickness in the electrolyte after the rectifier conductive component is connected, for uniform copper plating. The current density in the electroplating electrolyte is proportional to the electric field strength of the stainless steel cathode roller and the anode titanium blue double-layer plate, satisfying the formula... In the formula, D k Current density, in A / m 2 I is the current intensity; S is the total area of the positive and negative electrodes; and D is the current intensity. k =γ×E, where D k Current density, in A / m 2 γ is conductivity, in units of S / m; E is electric field strength, in units of V / m.
[0016] Optionally, the following operation steps may be included:
[0017] Step 1: Inside the electrolytic cell injected with electrolyte, start the servo motor synchronous drive module in the base film stretching roller assembly, and use the uniform speed control unit to control the constant force transmission speed of the base film in the electrolyte by the conveyor wheel.
[0018] Step 2: At the same time, copper oxide balls are added using a copper oxide ball adding device and placed inside the anode titanium blue double-layer plate. They are dissolved in the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell. The copper ion concentration in the electrolyte is detected by a copper ion detector through an electrolyte detection module. Based on the consumption of copper balls in the electroplated copper layer, the hydraulic cylinder is adjusted to raise and lower the position of the copper balls in the ball net from the base film.
[0019] Step 3: The current is connected to the stainless steel cathode roller and the titanium blue anode double-layer plate through the rectifier conductive component to form the anode and cathode of the electroplating. Copper ions in the electrolyte are deposited onto the upper and lower surfaces of the base film by the electric field force. During the electroplating process, as the base film is subjected to constant force transmission speed, the parameters of the rectification parameter display and control unit in the anode and cathode conductive rectifier module are adjusted. Specifically, the current magnitude is controlled to ensure the electroplating speed, and the current density is controlled to prevent ions from charging and breaking down the base film.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0021] 1. This invention employs a copper oxide ball addition device. By adding copper oxide balls to the soluble anode titanium blue in the copper plating process of the cathode roller and anode titanium blue, the copper ion concentration is adjusted by dissolving them in the electrolyte. The copper balls are evenly distributed in the electrolyte by the ball mesh, and the position of the copper balls from the base film is controlled by the hydraulic cylinder. This achieves the function of uniform copper ion concentration in the electrolyte and uniform copper plating of the base film, thereby improving the plating efficiency and achieving a uniform coating effect.
[0022] 2. This invention employs a base film stretching roller assembly structure, utilizing a conductive column with a built-in motor connected to a servo motor synchronous drive module for synchronized operation. This allows the uniform speed control unit to maintain a constant force on the base film's transmission speed. The electroplating base film is conveyed via a set of conveyor wheels rotating clockwise and counterclockwise, achieving constant force transmission and preventing uneven stress that could lead to tearing or breakage of the base film. This also reduces the tension of the base film during operation in the electrolyte, resulting in stable base film operation and a stable electroplated copper layer.
[0023] 3. This invention employs a system of modules including an electrolyte detection module, an anode and cathode conductive rectification module, and a servo motor synchronous drive module. Through systematic intelligent control, it collects copper ion concentration signals, controls the speed of base film transmission, and regulates the magnitude and density of the current during electroplating. This achieves the function of a high-precision electroplated composite copper current collector, resulting in precision, efficiency, and stability of the electroplated copper layer.
