Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to electroplating technology, in particular to a multi-dimensional swing electroplating drum. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the vigorous development of my country's machinery manufacturing industry, information industry products are constantly pursuing miniaturization, the shapes of electroplated workpieces are becoming more and more complex, and there are more and more workpieces with a large number of grooves, deep holes, blind holes, and narrow gaps. There is an urgent need for an electroplating machine that can meet the above requirements.

[0003] Patent document with application number "CN200910025431.2" discloses a rotary swinging cathode plating machine, which uses two eccentric wheels to form a multi-faceted swinging rotating body. Multiple workpieces to be plated are installed around the rotating body and connected to the cathode of the power supply. Through a set of transmission gears, the polyhedron is driven to rotate horizontally in the electroplating tank and swing up and down at the same time, so that the position of the workpiece to be plated changes all the time. The solution in the deep holes and narrow gaps on each surface is thoroughly exchanged and cleaned, and the coating is uniform. It can meet the needs of modern communication products, save water resources, and can be used as a supporting equipment for automatic production lines.

[0004] Patent document numbered "CN201420126424.8" discloses a three-dimensional rocking device for an electroplating tank, characterized in that it includes a rocking bracket, the rocking bracket being a rectangular frame that is movably mounted on the periphery of the electroplating tank; an extension bracket is provided at each end of the top surface of the rocking bracket, a base plate extending above the edges of the electroplating tank is fixedly mounted on the top of the extension bracket, and a V-shaped copper seat is mounted on the base plate; at least two eccentric wheel mechanisms are disposed on the outer walls of the two ends of the electroplating tank, the eccentric wheel mechanisms rotate synchronously, and the rocking bracket is connected to the corresponding eccentric wheel mechanisms at each end. The present invention has a simple and compact structure and low manufacturing cost. The eccentric wheel mechanism is used to drive the rocking bracket to rock three-dimensionally, causing the workpiece to rock three-dimensionally during electroplating, thereby better removing bubbles from the workpiece surface through the rocking motion, improving electroplating quality, increasing the electroplating pass rate, and reducing production costs.

[0005] The above patent document, combined with the prior art, reveals that the existing multi-dimensional swing electroplating drum has the following defects:

[0006] In the electroplating industry, workpieces to be plated are typically placed in a plating drum, which is driven by a motor and gears while immersed in the plating solution. A current is then applied to the drum, attaching the metal ions in the plating solution to the workpieces. Conventional plating drums rotate in a fixed position, hindering efficiency. Existing technologies include rotating drums while also moving sideways. Others connect the drums to opposite corners of the drums with a rotating shaft, creating a 45-degree angle, and then rotating them directly. However, none of these methods effectively improve efficiency and can result in unclean discharge. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The Y-axis swing assembly includes a Y-axis motor, a Y-axis moving gear, a Y-axis sector gear, and a connecting shaft arranged along a first direction. The Y-axis motor drives the Y-axis moving gear to rotate, and the Y-axis moving gear is engaged with the Y-axis sector gear for transmission. The connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the Y-axis sector gear and the U-shaped connecting frame respectively; the X-axis adjustment assembly includes an X-axis motor arranged along a second direction, an upper gear, a middle gear, and a lower gear that are engaged in transmission in sequence.

For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a connection through an intermediary medium, internal communication between two components, or an interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequential sequence. In addition, the terms "including," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0032] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a multi-dimensional swing electroplating drum includes a Y-axis swing component 100, an X-axis adjustment component 200, a U-shaped connecting frame 70, and an electroplating drum 300. The Y-axis swing component 100 includes a Y-axis motor 10, a Y-axis moving gear 20, a Y-axis sector gear 30, and a connecting shaft 40 arranged along a first direction. The Y-axis motor 10 drives the Y-axis moving gear 20 to rotate, and the Y-axis moving gear 20 is meshed with the Y-axis sector gear 30 for transmission. The connecting shaft 40 is fixedly connected to the Y-axis sector gear 30 and the U-shaped connecting frame 70 respectively; the X-axis adjustment component 20 The electroplating drum 300 includes an X-axis motor 50 arranged along the second direction, and an upper gear 61, a middle gear 62, and a lower gear 63 that mesh with each other in sequence. The X-axis motor 50 is fixed to the U-shaped connecting frame 70 and drives the upper gear 61 to rotate. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The electroplating drum 300 includes a drum body 301 and an outer rack 302, with the lower gear 63 meshing with the outer rack 302. The operation of the Y-axis motor 10 drives the U-shaped connecting frame 70 to swing left and right, while the operation of the X-axis motor 50 drives the electroplating drum 300 to rock back and forth. The Y-axis rocking assembly 100, the X-axis adjustment assembly 200, the U-shaped connecting frame 70, and the electroplating drum 300 work together to simultaneously drive the drum movement. During operation, the Y-axis motor rotates back and forth, driving the sector gear to reciprocate, which in turn drives the U-shaped connecting frame 70 to achieve a "left and right" rocking effect. The X-axis motor, through three gears, drives the outer rack 302, driving the electroplating drum 300. During loading, the X-axis motor adjusts the drum opening upward, allowing the workpiece to be placed inside. The drum can then be opened simultaneously as needed, achieving a motion similar to the swinging motion of conical-bottom flasks in a laboratory. During unloading, the Y-axis motor is turned off, and the X-axis motor adjusts the drum opening downward for direct unloading, achieving high efficiency.

[0033] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the U-shaped connecting frame 70 is provided with trapezoidal side panels 72 along both ends, and the electroplating drum 300 is located between the two trapezoidal side panels 72 for easy operation.

[0034] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, a gear mounting plate 71 is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped connecting frame 70, and the upper gear 61, middle gear 62, and lower gear 63 are rotatably mounted on the gear mounting plate 71. Furthermore, the X-axis is designed as three gears, rather than the X-axis directly driving a large gear, which in turn drives the annular gear. This has the advantage of allowing the gears to be positioned lower, driving a greater amplitude of movement in the barrel. This reduces the size of the gears, ultimately resulting in a compact machine that takes up less space. Large gears are less effective in terms of size and performance.

[0035] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the gear mounting plate 71 is arc-shaped along the outer side, which is convenient for installation and operation.

[0036] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, a motor fixing plate 52 is provided at the end of the X-axis motor 50, and the motor fixing plate 52 is fixed to the U-shaped connecting frame 70. As a preferred embodiment, the drum body 301 has an upper opening 3011 along the top. The drum body 301 is an octagonal drum.

[0037] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the outer rack 302 has an upper notch 3021 along the upper opening 3011. The Y-axis motor 10 extends perpendicularly to the X-axis motor 50. The outer rack 302 has a front inclined end surface 3022 along one side of the upper notch 3021, which resolves interference issues.

[0038] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
