Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, the metal parts that constitute electronic connectors usually need to be plated with nickel, tin, gold or other precious metals to achieve corrosion protection and electrical connection performance. After electroplating, the metal terminals or shell frames need to be stamped or assembled for secondary molding. The ductility of nickel as the intermediate plating layer determines whether the plating layer will crack during secondary molding, resulting in exposure of the substrate and loss of corrosion protection. The latter can directly affect the decline or loss of electrical performance and assembly performance;

[0003] In order to improve the ductility of the nickel layer, special additives and wetting agents are usually used in the electroplating solution, but the effect is often not obvious and difficult to maintain. After a period of use, the ductility of nickel will become worse and worse.

In addition, there are inevitable side reactions in the nickel plating process.

[0044] Meanwhile, an electroplating pool 1 is provided in the electroplating device. A quartz cylinder 101 for filling an electroplating solution is provided in the electroplating pool 1. The axis of the quartz cylinder 101 coincides with the axis of the electroplating pool 1. There is a gap between the quartz cylinder 101 and the electroplating pool 1. The gap between the quartz cylinder 101 and the electroplating pool 1 is filled with pure water 102. An ultrasonic vibration plate 103 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the electroplating pool 1. The ultrasonic vibration plate 103 is placed in the pure water 102. Nickel anodes 104 for electroplating workpieces are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the quartz cylinder 101. A sealing component 2 for reducing oxidation of the electroplating solution is provided on the top of the electroplating pool 1. A stage 3 for fixing the workpiece is arranged on the top of the closed component 2, and a trigger component 4 for cooperating with the stage 3 to change its own working state is arranged on the top of the closed component 2; the ultrasonic vibration plate generates ultrasonic vibration and transmits the vibration to the electrolyte solution. The high-frequency vibration generated by the ultrasonic vibration plate can form tiny bubbles in the electrolyte solution. These bubbles burst when they come into contact with the surface of the workpiece, releasing energy to generate impact force and eddy current, effectively cleaning the dirt, grease and impurities on the surface of the workpiece. During the electroplating process, the presence of gas may affect the flow of electrolyte and the quality of electroplating. The vibration of the ultrasonic vibration plate can help remove bubbles and gas in the electrolyte and ensure the stability of the environment during the electroplating process. The ultrasonic vibration can increase the contact frequency between the metal ions in the electrolyte solution and the surface of the workpiece, accelerate the electrochemical reactions such as anodic oxidation and cathode reduction, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of electroplating. The ultrasonic vibration can improve the fluidity of the electrolyte solution in the electroplating tank, so that the electrolyte solution is more evenly distributed on the surface of the workpiece, thereby improving the uniformity and quality of the electroplating layer. The ultrasonic vibration plate plays an important role in the electroplating device, which can improve the efficiency and quality of the electroplating process and ensure that the final electroplated product has a good appearance and performance;

[0045] The sonic vibration plate is usually installed in pure water 102. In pure water 102, the propagation efficiency of ultrasonic waves is higher, which helps to ensure that ultrasonic waves are evenly propagated throughout the water and produce a uniform cleaning effect on the surface of the workpiece. The chemical properties of pure water 102 are stable and easy to control and adjust, which can ensure consistent cleaning effects in different electroplating processes. Installing an ultrasonic vibration plate in pure water 102 can improve the propagation efficiency of ultrasonic waves and ensure the cleaning effect and quality during the electroplating process.

[0046] The quartz tank 101 is selected because the quartz material has a strong corrosion resistance to most chemicals, including strong acids and strong bases. The electroplating process usually involves acidic or alkaline electrolytes. The use of a quartz electroplating cell 1 can ensure that the cell body is not corroded by these chemicals, extending the service life of the equipment. During the electroplating process, the use of a quartz electroplating cell 1 can reduce the risk of impurities entering the electrolyte, thereby ensuring the purity of the electroplating process. This is particularly critical for electroplating applications that require high purity and high precision. Quartz is an insulating material, so it will not interfere with the flow of current or produce electrochemical reactions during the electroplating process. The use of quartz material can improve the corrosion resistance, heat resistance and purity of the electroplating process, while ensuring the safety and stability of the process.

The rubber seats 207 between the multiple interlocking plates 203 are slidably connected to the groove wall of the assembly groove 208.

[0049] How it works

[0050] In actual use, the degreasing solution is prepared to remove grease and dirt from the surface of the workpiece, so as to ensure the cleanliness and adhesion of the workpiece surface during the subsequent electroplating process. The components in the degreasing solution have the effect of decontamination and surface activation, preparing for electroplating;

[0051] Secondly, the use of acid activation solution can further clean and activate the workpiece surface, improve the adhesion and uniformity of the coating, and the sulfuric acid in the acid activation solution can remove surface oxides. The three-time rinsing process helps to thoroughly clean the workpiece surface and avoid the influence of residues on the electroplating quality.

[0052] Electroplating solution selection: nickel sulfamate or nickel sulfate as the main component of the electroplating solution can provide high-purity nickel ions to ensure the quality and stability of the electroplating layer. In addition, precise control of the solution composition and process parameters, such as pH value and temperature, are also key factors in ensuring the quality of electroplating.

[0053] The use of ultrasonic technology in the electroplating process can help remove bubbles and gases in the electrolyte, ensuring the stability and uniformity of the electroplating process. Ultrasonic vibration can effectively clean the surface of the workpiece and improve the efficiency and quality of electroplating. The quartz cylinder 101 and ultrasonic vibration plate 103 in the electroplating device are designed to ensure the corrosion resistance and stability of the equipment. The quartz material has excellent corrosion resistance and can ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment. The design of the ultrasonic vibration plate 103 can ensure the propagation efficiency and cleaning effect of the ultrasonic wave;

[0054] By setting up multiple connecting platforms 201, guide grooves 202, interlocking plates 203, hydraulic seats 403 and other components, the functions of complete closure and automatic opening and closing of the electroplating pool 1 are realized, thereby reducing the time the solution is exposed to the air, effectively preventing the oxidation of the electroplating solution, and realizing full automatic operation, reducing the need for manual labor. The driving member 301 and the hydraulic system on the stage 3 enable the device to open and close automatically, reducing manual intervention, and by completely closing the electroplating pool 1, the time the solution is exposed to the air is reduced, effectively preventing the oxidation of the electroplating solution. The electroplating process improves the stability and purity of the solution, and combines advanced chemical formulas, equipment technology and automated control to achieve high-quality and efficient electroplating processes, improve the appearance and performance of products, and reduce labor costs and environmental pollution, with broad application prospects.
