Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electroplating, and in particular relates to a conductive copper code holder for electroplating. Background Art

[0002] The electroplating copper code seat is arranged at the side of the electroplating tank, and is used to support and conduct electricity to the electroplating cathode during the electroplating process, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the electroplating process. The design and manufacturing quality of the electroplating copper seat directly affect the stability and quality of the electroplating process. A high-quality electroplating copper code seat can ensure good contact between it and the hanging rod, and ensure the stability of the electroplating quality. In the prior art, the electroplating copper code seat is made of electrolytic copper in an integrated manner, which has low impurity content, good conductivity, and is not easy to heat up. It can effectively prevent corrosion and oxidation during the electroplating process and extend the service life. However, the electroplating copper code seat formed by one-piece casting is not accurate enough, and it needs to be finely processed after casting, which will increase the manufacturing cost. The existing electroplating copper code seat is prone to dirt after long-term use, and it is impossible to achieve self-cleaning of the copper code seat during use, which will affect the electroplating effect. On the other hand, the one-piece casting causes the electroplating copper code seat to wear and affect the electroplating, and needs to be replaced as a whole. Even if the wear is very small, it needs to be replaced as a whole, and it is impossible to make subtle adjustments, thereby increasing the cost of use.

[0003] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be regarded as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a technical solution provided by a specific embodiment of the present invention is as follows: a conductive copper code holder for electroplating, comprising: a base, two conductive copper sheets and a conductive connector. The two conductive copper sheets are detachably arranged on both sides of the base; the conductive copper sheet has a vertical extension section and a bending section connected to the vertical extension section; the bending section is made of elastic metal material and bends toward the base and can be elastically deformed under the action of external pressure; there is a gap between the two bending sections to form an accommodating space for placing the electroplated conductive copper rod and the electroplated conductive copper rod is against the bending section; the conductive connector is arranged on the conductive copper sheet for connecting the rectifier.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the conductive copper sheet is between 5 mm and 8 mm.

[0009] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the base includes a horizontal supporting plate and a matching plate extending along the length direction of the horizontal supporting plate and vertically arranged on the horizontal supporting plate; an avoidance groove is opened on the matching plate at a position below the bending section; and the end of the bending section is at least partially located in the avoidance groove.

[0010] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, there is a gap between the bending section and the side wall of the avoidance groove, so as to provide a deformation retreat space for the bending section.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a conductive copper code holder for electroplating in one embodiment of the present invention comprises a base 1, two conductive copper sheets 2 and a conductive connector 3. The two conductive copper sheets 2 are detachably arranged on both sides of the base 1. The conductive copper sheet 2 has a vertical extension section 21 and a bending section 22 connected to the vertical extension section 21. The vertical extension section 21 extends vertically upward. The bending section 22 is made of copper and can be bent toward the base 1 and can be elastically deformed under the action of external pressure. There is a spacing between the two bending sections 22 to form a roughly V-shaped accommodating space 23 for placing the electroplated conductive copper rod. When the electroplated conductive copper rod is placed in the accommodating space 23, it is against the bending section 22. The conductive connector 3 is arranged on the conductive copper sheet 2 for connecting the rectifier.

[0024] The conductive copper weight holder for electroplating is arranged near the electroplating pool during use, and is used to place the electroplating conductive copper rod. The conductive copper weight holder for electroplating can be connected to a rectifier to allow current to pass through and transfer the current to the electroplating conductive copper rod for electroplating. Therefore, good contact must always be maintained between the electroplating conductive copper rod and the conductive copper weight holder for electroplating. Most of the existing conductive copper weight holders for electroplating are integrally cast, and as the use time increases, poor contact will occur between them and the electroplating conductive copper rod, and the conductive effect will deteriorate. In addition, the surface of the existing conductive copper weight holder for electroplating is prone to dirt after long-term use, which will also affect the conductive contact between it and the electroplating conductive copper rod.

[0025] In the above embodiment, the base 1 and the conductive copper sheet 2 of the electroplating conductive copper code holder are fixed by a detachable connection. Compared with the existing integrated copper code holder, when the conductive copper sheet 2 reaches the end of its service life or has problems that cannot be repaired or adjusted, the electroplating conductive copper code holder of the present invention can replace a single or two conductive copper sheets 2 without replacing the entire copper code holder. The conductive copper sheet 2 has a bending section 22 and the bending section 22 can be elastically deformed, so that when the electroplated conductive copper rod is placed in the accommodating space 23 and the diameter becomes smaller as it is used, the elastic force of the conductive copper sheet 2 can keep the two in close contact at all times.

[0026] In one embodiment, the bending section 22 is provided with a plurality of drainage grooves 221 parallel to each other and penetrating the upper and lower surfaces of the bending section 22 along its length direction. After long-term use of the conductive copper code holder for electroplating, a large amount of dirt will accumulate on the surface of the conductive copper sheet 2, affecting the contact between it and the conductive copper rod. After the drainage groove 221 is set, when the conductive copper rod is placed in the accommodating space 23, it will produce friction with the conductive copper sheet 2, especially the bending section 22, and part of the dirt will be scraped off the bending section 22 by the conductive copper rod and discharged from the drainage groove 221. Because the conductive copper rod is a cylinder, the actual contact area between it and the conductive copper sheet 2 is very small. The setting of the drainage groove 221 can ensure that the contact position between the electroplating conductive copper rod and the conductive copper sheet 2 always remains clean without affecting the conductive effect.

[0027] Furthermore, since the drainage groove 221 penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the bending section 22, the bending section 22 is constructed into a plurality of sheet structures. This structure can improve the elasticity of the bending section 22 to a certain extent, so that different positions on the bending section 22 can undergo elastic deformation with different degrees of deformation, thereby making the contact with the electroplated conductive copper rod closer, further avoiding poor contact between the two.

[0028] In one embodiment, the angle α between the bending section 22 and the vertical extension section 21 is between 40° and 60°. By controlling the angle between the bending section 22 and the vertical extension section 21, the conductive copper sheet 2 can stably support the electroplated conductive copper rod, and the electroplated conductive copper rod will not slip from between the two conductive copper sheets 2.

[0029] The thickness of the conductive copper sheet 2 is between 5 mm and 8 mm. By controlling the thickness of the conductive copper sheet 2, the conductive copper sheet 2 can provide sufficient support for the electroplated conductive copper rod while maintaining a certain elasticity, so that it can be closely abutted against the electroplated conductive copper rod. In addition, the thickness can also meet the current size requirements of the rectifier.

[0030] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 includes a horizontal bearing plate 11 and a matching plate 12. The matching plate 12 extends along the length direction of the horizontal bearing plate 11 and is vertically arranged on the horizontal bearing plate 11. An avoidance groove 121 is provided on the matching plate 12 at a position below the bending section 22. The end of the bending section 22 is at least partially located in the avoidance groove 121, so that the bending section 22 and the avoidance groove 121 constitute a roughly V-shaped storage space. In this way, the avoidance groove 121 and the two bending sections 22 form a lower end closed storage space 23 for placing the electroplated conductive copper rod to prevent the electroplated conductive copper rod from falling off from between the two conductive copper sheets 2 and the base 1.

[0031] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, there is a gap 4 between the bending section 22 and the side wall of the avoidance groove 121, which is used to provide deformation concession space for the bending section 22. When the electroplated conductive copper rod is placed between the two bending sections 22, the bending section 22 will undergo elastic deformation, and the gap 4 provides a certain deformation concession space. At the same time, when the bending section 22 is deformed to a certain extent, the side wall of the avoidance groove 121 can abut against the bending section 22 to prevent the bending section 22 from excessively deforming and bending and losing elasticity. With such a configuration, on the one hand, the elasticity of the conductive copper sheet 2 itself can stably support the electroplated conductive copper rod, and on the other hand, the side wall of the avoidance groove 121 allows the bending section 22 to maintain elasticity after long-term use, so that it can always be in close contact with the electroplated conductive copper rod.

[0032] In one embodiment, the base 1 further includes a side support plate 13. The side support plates 13 are arranged on both sides of the matching plate 12. The vertical extension section 21 is detachably connected to the side support plate 13. The vertical extension section 21 is fixed to the side support plate 13 by a plurality of horizontally arranged fixing members 131. For example, the fixing member 131 may be a bolt. The plurality of parallelly arranged fixing members 131 can improve the stable connection between the conductive copper sheet 2 and the base 1, and prevent the conductive copper sheet 2 from rotating relative to the base 1 during use.

[0033] A fixing hole is provided on the horizontal supporting plate 11. A base fixing bolt 111 is inserted into the fixing hole to fix the base 1 to an external electroplating device, for example, to a side wall of an electroplating tank.

[0034] In one embodiment, an insulating sleeve 112 is provided between the base fixing bolt 111 and the horizontal bearing plate 11. The insulating sleeve 112 is sleeved on the base fixing bolt 111 and the two ends of the insulating sleeve 112 are respectively abutted against the end of the base fixing bolt 111 and the surface of the horizontal bearing plate 11. The insulating sleeve 112 is used to fix and insulate the copper code seat. Specifically, the insulating sleeve 112 can prevent the base fixing bolt 111 from contacting the bearing plate 11. If there is no insulation of the insulating sleeve 112, the base fixing bolt 111 will heat up due to the current and communicate with the components during use, thereby causing safety hazards.

[0035] In summary, the base 1 and the conductive copper sheet 2 of the conductive copper code holder for electroplating of the present invention are fixed in a detachable connection manner, and no further processing is required before use. When worn or problems occur, a single or two conductive copper sheets 2 can be replaced without replacing the entire copper code holder, which can reduce production and operation costs. The conductive copper sheet 2 has a bending section 22 and the bending section 22 can undergo elastic deformation, so that when the electroplated conductive copper rod is placed in the accommodating space 23, it can always be in close contact with the conductive copper sheet 2, thereby improving the conductive efficiency. In addition, the conductive copper sheet 2 is provided with a drain trough 221, which can discharge dirt from the conductive copper sheet 2 during use, and the conductive copper sheet 2 can always have a clean area in contact with the electroplated conductive copper rod to ensure the conductive effect.
