Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of circuit board processing, and specifically relates to a novel titanium basket cover plate device for improving the concave, roughness, copper thickness uniformity and board clamping of horizontal electroplating lines. Background Art
[0002] The design levels of high-density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards are getting higher and higher. All HDI core board layers must be produced in the electroplating workshop. The thickness of HDI core boards is 2mil (0.045mil), 2.5mil, 3mil, and 4mil. Some products have exceeded the capacity of the equipment, and most of them are at the maximum limit of the equipment capacity (HORZONTAL equipment capacity board thickness: 0.05mm-2mm).
[0003] In the existing horizontal electroplating line production process, serious quality problems occur, mainly manifested in concave, rough plate edge, copper thickness uniformity, and very high board scrapping, especially for thin plates with a thickness of 0.045mm-0.15mm. The problem is particularly obvious and effective production cannot be carried out. The thin plate is clamped in the horizontal electroplating copper cylinder, and the clamp holds the production plate while dragging the entire plate forward in the solution. The upper and lower titanium baskets spray the solution onto the plate surface through the fan-shaped nozzle of the nozzle. Due to the thin and soft characteristics of the thin plate, and under the action of the solution spray and surge, the thin plate floats up and down in the copper cylinder and moves forward irregularly, and cannot run between the upper and lower titanium baskets. The thin plate will be affected by the solution during the floating of the copper cylinder, causing concave, roughness, poor copper thickness uniformity, and board jamming during electroplating.
[0004] To this end, we proposed a new titanium basket cover plate device to improve the concave, roughness, copper thickness uniformity and clamping plate of the horizontal electroplating line to solve the problems existing in the prior art. The titanium basket cover plate device was modified, designed and manufactured to improve product quality and reduce scrap to achieve the expected goals. Summary of the invention

[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] The present invention provides Figure 1-5A new type of titanium basket cover plate device for improving the concave, roughness, copper thickness uniformity and clamping of horizontal electroplating lines is shown, including a titanium basket cover plate body 1, and a plurality of groups of mounting guide grooves 2 are provided on the upper surface of the titanium basket cover plate body 1, and a reinforcing guide bar 5 is embedded in each group of the mounting guide grooves 2, and one end of the reinforcing guide bar 5 is flush with one side of the titanium basket cover plate body 1, and the other end of the reinforcing guide bar 5 extends beyond the titanium basket cover plate body 1, and both ends of the upper surface of the reinforcing guide bar 5 are provided with bevel portions 53, and a plurality of groups of through holes 51 and six groups of countersunk holes 52 are provided on the upper surface of the reinforcing guide bar 5, and countersunk bolts 6 bolted to the titanium basket cover plate body 1 are provided in the six groups of countersunk holes 52.
[0028] The depth of the multiple groups of mounting guide grooves 2 is 2 mm, the thickness of the titanium basket cover body 1 is 4 mm, the overall outer frame size of the titanium basket cover body 1 is 635*412*4 mm, and the titanium basket cover body 1 is made of PVC-E material. Through the modified design of the titanium basket cover body 1, the problems of concave horizontal plating lines, rough plate edges, poor copper thickness uniformity and carding are effectively improved, especially for the process capability problems of thin plates (0.045 mm-0.15 mm), the newly designed titanium basket cover body 1 significantly improves the stability of thin plates during the electroplating process and product quality.
[0029] Each group of the mounting guide grooves 2 is arranged at an angle of 20° to a group of right-angled sides of the titanium basket cover plate body 1. The bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting guide grooves 2 is provided with bottom holes for connecting multiple groups of through holes 51. Burrs and flash will inevitably be generated on the titanium basket cover plate body 1 during the punching process. The generated burrs and flash need to be manually processed to improve the quality of the titanium basket cover plate body 1.
[0030] The upper surface of the titanium basket cover plate body 1 is provided with a plurality of groups of nozzle slots 3, and the plurality of groups of nozzle slots 3 are arranged at equal intervals, and each group of the nozzle slots 3 is provided with a plurality of nozzle slots. When drilling holes on the titanium basket cover plate body 1, the milling cutter needs to be replaced regularly to ensure the efficiency of drilling holes, avoid fractures between holes due to passivation of the milling cutter, improve the production quality of the titanium basket cover plate body 1, and reduce the scrap rate.
[0031] The multiple groups of nozzle slots 3 are all inclinedly arranged, and the multiple groups of nozzle slots 3 and the multiple groups of mounting guide grooves 2 are staggered and alternately arranged. The nozzle slots 3 are used to facilitate the fan-shaped nozzles to spray the medicine, thereby improving the uniformity of spraying the medicine on the board surface, thereby improving product quality.
[0032] Six groups of roller slots 4 are provided on the upper surface of the titanium basket cover body 1, and the six groups of roller slots 4 are alternately arranged. The six groups of roller slots 4 are alternately arranged with multiple groups of mounting guide grooves 2, respectively. Rollers are used to facilitate the transportation of thin plates, thereby improving the processing efficiency of thin plates. At the same time, under the support of the strengthening guide bar 5, the deformation of the thin plates is reduced.
[0033] The upper surface of the titanium basket cover body 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 7, which are arranged in a rectangular array and are arranged in a stepped manner. The positioning holes 7 are used to facilitate rapid installation and positioning of the titanium basket cover body 1, and the positioning holes 7 are countersunk positioning holes 7 to avoid deformation of the titanium basket cover body 1 after positioning.
[0034] The upper surface of the titanium basket cover body 1 is provided with a plurality of groups of potion holes 9 and a plurality of groups of filling holes 8, which are arranged in a rectangular array, and are arranged alternately with the plurality of groups of potion holes 9 and the plurality of groups of filling holes 8. The use of the plurality of groups of potion holes 9 and the filling holes 8 can improve the processing efficiency of the thin plate, and the plates are approximately equidistant from the upper and lower titanium basket cover bodies 1, and the metal copper electroplated from the upper and lower titanium meshes is uniformly attached to the cathode plate (PCB board).
[0035] Side angles 10 are provided on both sides of the titanium basket cover body 1, and the hole distance between the medicine hole 9 and the filling hole 8 is 1.5 mm. The titanium basket cover body 1 needs to be evenly bonded with tape on both sides before drilling. Since the 4mm plate is thin and has no rigidity in the middle, it will be lifted up by the milling cutter during processing and caused to be scrapped. The tape must be pasted over a large area to ensure that the titanium basket cover body 1 reduces the scrap rate during the drilling process.
[0036] The reinforcing guide bar 5 extends 1 cm beyond the side of the titanium basket cover body 1, and the thickness of the reinforcing guide bar 5 is 7 mm. The extended length of the reinforcing guide bar 5 facilitates the thin plate to pass through the spacing between the front and rear titanium basket cover bodies 1, thereby reducing the scratches on the thin plate during movement under the guidance of the beveled portion 53 of the reinforcing guide bar 5, and the reinforcing guide bar 5 is PVDF, which has good properties such as high hardness, temperature resistance, wear resistance, and acid and alkali corrosion resistance.
[0037] During the production process of the titanium basket cover plate body 1, a large amount of adhesive tape is firstly bonded to both sides of the titanium basket cover plate body 1, so as to avoid the titanium basket cover plate body 1 from being broken due to the close hole spacing when the milling cutter punches holes, thereby improving the production yield of the titanium basket cover plate body 1. After the punching is completed, the attached adhesive material and the burrs on the holes need to be processed manually, so as to improve the surface flatness of the titanium basket cover plate body 1 and avoid scratching the thin plate. The reinforcing guide bar 5 is embedded in the installation guide groove 2, and the reinforcing guide bar 5 is connected to the titanium basket cover by the countersunk bolt 6. The plate body 1 is installed, and the titanium basket cover plate body 1 with the installed reinforcing guide bar 5 is installed in the copper cylinder. The nozzle sprays on the inside of the titanium basket cover plate device. The clamp horizontally clamps the short side of the plate and drags the plate between the upper and lower titanium baskets. The thin plate is transported by rollers. At the same time, the thin plate can be stably transported under the limiting effect of the reinforcing guide bar 5. The improved titanium basket cover plate device can more effectively control the up and down floating range and guiding effect of the thin plate in the copper cylinder, thereby reducing product damage caused by collision with nozzles, nozzles, etc., and further reducing the scrap rate.
