[0060] In an implementation form of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 the circulating unit 105 comprises a circulating pump 115, a solution storage tank 125 and a flow guide valve.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the instantaneous flow rate of the solution flowing out of the flow guide assembly is greater than the instantaneous flow rate of the solution flowing out of the flange overflow opening.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the cross-sectional area of the outlet for guiding the solution in the flow guide assembly and the cross-sectional area of the flange overflow opening, it can be ensured that the solution inside the inner cavity of the plated part maintains a continuous flow and a relatively full state during electroplating, and the solution can be in a laminar flow state, so that the electroplating effect on the inner cavity is better.

[0071] According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by making the solution in the flow guide assembly inner cavity flow out from the plurality of through holes on the inner wall of the flow guide assembly inner cavity, the concentration of the solution in different regions of the flow guide assembly inner cavity can be made more uniform, thereby improving the electroplating effect.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 A schematic structural view of a plated part according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As Figure 4 shown, the electroplating device further includes a plated part inner cavity plugging assembly 203, which is arranged on the edge of the plated area of the inner cavity 202 and is used to close the inner cavity 202.

[0073] According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is considered that in some scenarios, local electroplating is required inside the plated part inner cavity, that is, only the part from the edge of the plated area of the plated part inner cavity to the inner cavity opening is electroplated. In order to meet this requirement, the plated part inner cavity plugging assembly is arranged on the edge of the plated area of the plated part inner cavity, so that the plated part inner cavity plugging assembly can close the edge of the plated area of the plated part inner cavity, thereby forming a relatively closed space in the inner cavity when the inner cavity opening is closed by the sealing flange, so as to avoid the solution from entering the inner cavity which does not need to be electroplated, and to avoid pollution and waste of the inner cavity.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, the electroplating device further includes a support and a moving device 111 arranged below the support;

[0080] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the rotating assembly can be arranged on the supporting surface of the plating member height adjusting device and used to contact the surface of the plating member so as to drive the plating member to rotate in the radial direction during the electroplating process. The structure of the rotating assembly can be, for example, a rotating bearing structure for driving the plating member to rotate through a rolling bearing or a sliding bearing, or can be a gear structure for driving the plating member to rotate through a driving motor driving a gear to rotate, and the present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the rotating assembly.

[0081] According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the rotating assembly drives the plating member to rotate in the radial direction during the electroplating process, which can make the plating layer more uniform and avoid the situation that the local plating layer is too thick or too thin. In addition, the rotation of the plating member in the radial direction can also ensure that the plating area in the inner cavity of the plating member can be in contact with the solution, improve the coverage of the solution on the plating member, and further improve the electroplating quality.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a splash-proof device is arranged on the liquid receiving groove for preventing the solution from splashing out of the liquid receiving groove.

[0083] According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging the splash-proof device for preventing the solution from splashing out of the liquid receiving groove, it can be ensured that the solution can flow smoothly into the liquid receiving groove after flowing out of the flange overflow port, the loss of the solution is reduced, the electroplating cost is reduced, and the workpiece outer surface can also be prevented from being contaminated.

[0087] In an implementation form of the present disclosure, the plurality of air outlets can be connected to a compressed air source through a compressed air flow channel, and the compressed air provided by the compressed air source is sprayed out of the air outlets through the flow channel and sprayed on the periphery of the plating area, forming an air curtain, which can prevent the solution from splashing to other areas outside the liquid receiving groove, help to reduce the loss of solution, and keep other areas outside the liquid receiving groove clean, reducing the cleaning work of the subsequent operator and improving the efficiency of electroplating.

[0088] In an implementation form of the present disclosure, the brush can make the splashed solution remain in the liquid receiving box, preventing the solution from splashing to other areas outside the liquid receiving groove,

[0089] According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging the first anti-splashing assembly and the second anti-splashing assembly, the non-electroplating area of the plated part and other areas outside the liquid receiving groove can be protected, ensuring that the solution is effectively intercepted and collected, reducing the pollution caused by the splashing of the solution, and improving the efficiency and quality of electroplating.
