Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to an electroplating fixture, assembly equipment and method. Background Art

[0002] According to the orientation of the workpiece during electroplating, the electroplating process can be divided into horizontal electroplating and vertical electroplating. In vertical electroplating, the workpiece is immersed in the electroplating solution in a vertical state, and the workpiece is electrically connected to the negative pole of the power supply to form a cathode. The anode is installed in the electroplating tank, and the anode is electrically connected to the positive pole of the power supply. Under the action of the electric field, the metal ions in the electroplating solution will be freed to the vicinity of the workpiece to be plated and form a coating on the workpiece to be plated.

[0003] In the existing vertical electroplating equipment, in order to keep the workpiece to be electroplated in a vertical state at all times, the workpiece to be electroplated is usually installed in an electroplating fixture. However, the existing electroplating fixture adopts the method of first loading the workpiece to be electroplated and then conducting a conductive connection to the workpiece to be electroplated. In this way, during the installation process of the workpiece to be electroplated, it will be necessary to first align the position between the workpiece to be electroplated and the electroplating fixture, and then align the conductive connector with the workpiece to be electroplated, making it difficult to ensure the assembly accuracy of the workpiece to be electroplated in the electroplating fixture, and the assembly efficiency is low. Furthermore, it is even more difficult to ensure the assembly accuracy and efficiency when assembling the workpiece to be electroplated into multiple electroplating fixtures simultaneously or assembling the workpiece to be electroplated on both sides. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide an electroplating fixture, assembly equipment and method, which utilizes the detachable structure of the electroplating fixture and the positioning components thereon to improve the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the electroplated parts.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, an embodiment of the present application provides an electroplating fixture, comprising:

[0006] A bearing assembly, used for bearing the workpiece to be electroplated, the bearing assembly comprising a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate connected in a clutch manner;

[0007] A conductive clamping assembly, disposed on the bearing assembly, for clamping the workpiece to be electroplated and transmitting current to it;

[0008] A positioning assembly, disposed on the bearing assembly, for keeping the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate aligned during separation and combination;

[0009] At least one of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate has an opening. In a working state, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are respectively located on both sides of the workpiece to be electroplated, and the workpiece to be electroplated is located in the opening so that at least one surface thereof is exposed from the opening.

[0010] In the above embodiment, the bearing assembly includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate connected by a clutch. Before the workpiece to be electroplated is loaded, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are separated from each other, so that there is enough space between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate, so that the workpiece to be electroplated can be loaded into the bearing assembly (the space between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate). After the workpiece to be electroplated is loaded, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are combined with each other to clamp the workpiece to be electroplated. In the process of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate being separated and combined with each other, the positioning assembly makes the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate always in an aligned state, so that during the assembly process of the workpiece to be electroplated, it is not necessary to align the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate again, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency of the workpiece to be electroplated.

[0011] In an achievable embodiment, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate both have openings, so that two surfaces of the workpiece to be electroplated are exposed from the opening of the first clamping plate and the opening of the second clamping plate respectively;

The conductive rod has a contact, which is located in the opening. In a working state, the contact respectively abuts against conductive points on two surfaces of the workpiece to be electroplated.

[0013] The above-mentioned embodiment is particularly suitable for double-sided electroplating of the workpiece to be electroplated, and the two plated surfaces of the workpiece to be electroplated are exposed from the opening of the first clamp and the opening of the second clamp respectively. The conductive clamping assembly is arranged on the bearing assembly, and when the first clamp and the second clamp are separated and combined with each other, the positioning assembly makes the first clamp and the second clamp always in an aligned state, and at the same time makes the contacts on the first clamp and the contacts on the first clamp aligned with each other. When assembling the workpiece to be electroplated, it is only necessary to make the conductive points on one surface of the workpiece to be electroplated abut against the contacts on the first clamp, and the conductive points on the other surface of the workpiece to be electroplated will also be aligned with the contacts on the second clamp, which saves the time of aligning the conductive points on the other surface of the workpiece to be electroplated and the contacts on the second clamp, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency of the workpiece to be electroplated.

[0017] In the above embodiment, by arranging the first conductive part on the side of the frame structure, the second conductive part and at least part of the contact are located in the protruding structure, thereby reducing the exposure area of ​​the conductive clamping assembly, thereby reducing the risk of the conductive clamping assembly being electroplated in the working state.

[0081] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Terms such as "upper", "above", "lower", "below", "first end", "second end", "one end", "the other end" used in the present application to represent spatial relative positions are used to describe the relationship between a unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings relative to another unit or feature for the purpose of convenience of explanation. Terms of spatial relative position may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or work other than the orientation shown in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is turned over, the unit described as being "below" or "below" other units or features will be located "above" other units or features. Therefore, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both the above and below orientations. The device can be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatially related descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0082] In addition, the terms "installed", "set", "provided with", "connected", "slidingly connected", "fixed", and "sleeved" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, elements, or components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0083] The background technology of the present application points out that when the existing electroplating fixture clamps the workpiece to be electroplated, the conductive points are easily worn out, and the positioning of the conductive points leads to reduced assembly efficiency. Specifically, the electroplating fixture is an integrated structure, which has an opening for the workpiece to be electroplated to enter, and a bearing portion for the workpiece to be electroplated to be placed. The opening is connected to the bearing portion, and one end of the workpiece to be electroplated enters the bearing portion through the opening until it is completely located in the bearing portion. In order to make the workpiece to be electroplated act as a cathode in the electric field circuit, it is necessary to make a conductive connection to it after it is installed, that is, determine the position of the conductive point of the workpiece to be electroplated, and use a conductive workpiece to electrically connect the conductive point to the negative pole of the power supply. In this way, in the process of moving the workpiece to be electroplated to the bearing portion, there is a possibility that the conductive point and the electroplating fixture are in frictional contact, which leads to wear of the conductive point, and the process of positioning the conductive point undoubtedly increases the process and time of the electroplating work.

[0084] Based on this, the present application provides an electroplating fixture, an electroplating fixture assembly device and an electroplating fixture assembly method.

[0085] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0086] The electroplating fixture 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to install the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and to make the workpiece 20 to be electroplated conductive, so that the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can always be in a vertical state during the electroplating process and continuously obtain the negative current. Among them, the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can be a product that needs to be given some special physical properties or decorative properties, such as PCB boards, solar cells, silicon wafers and chips, etc.; for another example, the electroplated metal can be an insoluble anode, which is made by coating a precious metal oxide coating with high electrochemical catalytic performance on a titanium substrate (mesh, plate, strip, tube, etc.), and the coating contains a valve metal oxide with high stability, or the electroplated metal is a soluble anode, which can dissolve into metal ions and enter the solution.

[0087] A plating fixture 10, see Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, it at least includes a bearing assembly 101, a conductive clamping assembly 102 and a positioning assembly 103. The bearing assembly 101 is used to bear the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and the bearing assembly 101 includes two detachable parts; the conductive clamping assembly 102 is arranged on the bearing assembly 101, and is used to clamp the workpiece 20 to be electroplated and transmit current to it; the positioning assembly 103 is arranged on the bearing assembly 101, and is used to enable the conductive clamping assembly 102 to clamp the conductive point 201 of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and transmit current to the conductive point 201 of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. In this way, when installing the part to be electroplated 20, the detachable structure of the supporting component 101 can be used to realize the step-by-step installation of the part to be electroplated 20, that is, first install part of the area of ​​the part to be electroplated 20, and then install other areas. Compared with the existing integral installation, it can effectively avoid the wear of the part to be electroplated 20, and can accurately position each structure on the part to be electroplated 20; when the part to be electroplated 20 has a double-sided structure, both sides of it must have conductive points 201. Through the positioning component 103, the conductive clamping component 102 can accurately connect multiple conductive points 201. When the conductive clamping component 102 is conductively connected to multiple conductive points 201, the clamping of the part to be electroplated 20 is completed.

[0088] In this embodiment, see Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, the bearing assembly 101 includes a first clamping plate 1011 and a second clamping plate 1012, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are connected by a clutch, and the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 both have an opening 1013. In the working state, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are respectively located on both sides of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is located in the opening 1013 so that both surfaces thereof are exposed. During electroplating, the plated areas on both sides of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated are exposed so that metal ions can adhere thereto to form a metal plating layer.

[0089] It should be noted that the clutch connection means that two parts can be separated and combined with each other. The clutch connection between the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 means that the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 can be separated and combined with each other. Before the electroplated part is assembled into the electroplating fixture 10, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 can be separated from each other (or moved away), and the electroplating fixture 10 is opened; after the electroplated part is assembled into the electroplating fixture 10, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 can be combined with each other (or moved close to each other), and the electroplating fixture 10 is closed. The clutch connection can be understood as a type of detachable connection.

[0090] The above-mentioned supporting component 101 includes a first clamping plate 1011 and a second clamping plate 1012 connected by a clutch. Before the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is loaded, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are separated from each other, so that there is enough space between the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, so that the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can be loaded into the supporting component 101 (the space between the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012). After the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is loaded, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are combined with each other to clamp the workpiece 20 to be electroplated.

[0091] See also Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the conductive clamping assembly 102 at least includes a conductive rod 1021. The first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are both provided with the conductive rod 1021. The conductive rod 1021 has a contact 1022. The contact 1022 is located in the opening 1013. In the working state, the contacts 1022 of the two conductive rods 1021 respectively contact the conductive points 201 on both sides of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. When the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are connected, they are respectively located on both sides of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. By using the conductive rod 1021 to contact the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, the current flowing into the conductive rod 1021 can be transmitted to the workpiece 20 to be electroplated while clamping the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. Figure 4-Figure 10As shown, specifically, the conductive rod 1021 is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the power source to obtain the negative current, and transmits the negative current to the workpiece 20 to be electroplated through the contact 1022. In the case where the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is a double-sided structure, the contact 1022 on the first clamping plate 1011 and the contact 1022 on the second clamping plate 1012 are arranged oppositely, that is, the two contacts 1022 are symmetrical about a plane, which is a plane parallel to the surface to be electroplated of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, so that the two contacts 1022 can respectively abut against the two surfaces of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. In this way, by abutting the contact 1022 with the conductive point 201, a point-to-point connection between the electroplating fixture 10 and the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can be achieved, thereby reducing the contact area between the two, so that the plated surface of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can be fully exposed, and it can be avoided that the electroplating fixture 10 squeezes the workpiece 20 to be electroplated over a large area, causing damage to its surface. Since the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012 are clutched, when installing the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, the conductive point 201 on one side of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can be first aligned with the contact 1022 of the first clamp 1011 and conductively connected, and then the contact 1022 of the second clamp 1012 can be aligned with the conductive point 201 on the other side of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated and conductively connected, thereby realizing point-to-point installation between the electroplating fixture 10 and the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, effectively avoiding wear on the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and improving the accuracy of clamping and conductivity of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated.

[0092] When the plated area of ​​the workpiece 20 to be plated exists only on one side thereof, only the first clamping plate 1011 or the second clamping plate 1012 may have an opening 1013. A conductive clamping assembly 102 is disposed on the first clamping plate 1011 or the second clamping plate 1012 having the opening 1013, and a non-conductive clamping assembly is disposed on the first clamping plate 1011 or the second clamping plate 1012 not having the opening 1013. The conductive clamping assembly 102 and the non-conductive clamping assembly cooperate to clamp and fix the workpiece 20 to be plated.

[0093] Among them, see Figure 4As shown, the conductive rod 1021 includes a first conductive portion 10211 and a plurality of second conductive portions 10212, the plurality of second conductive portions 10212 are arranged at intervals on the first conductive portion 10211, and the contact 1022 is arranged on the end of the second conductive portion 10212 located in the opening 1013. In order to make the plating of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated uniform, in actual application, the first conductive portion 10211 is arranged on both sides of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, and one end of the second conductive portion 10212 extends toward the opening 1013. The plurality of second conductive portions 10212 can make the plurality of contacts 1022 evenly distributed in the opening 1013, and at the same time, transmit negative current to the plurality of conductive points 201 of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. In addition, the number of contacts 1022 on the first clamping plate 1011 is equal to the number of contacts 1022 on the second clamping plate 1012, and they correspond one to one, so as to achieve the clamping of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated.

[0094] Further, the conductive rod 1021 is disposed in the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 to prevent the conductive rod 1021 from being electroplated in the working state. Specifically, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are frame-type structures, the opening 1013 of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 is the hollow part of the frame-type structure, the first conductive part 10211 is disposed on the side of the frame-type structure, and at least one end of the first conductive part 10211 passes through the side and is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the power supply, and the inner wall of the frame-type structure, that is, the side wall of the opening 1013, extends toward the center of the opening 1013 to form a protruding structure 1014, see Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the second conductive portion 10212 and at least part of the contact 1022 are located in the protruding structure 1014. When the contact 1022 is entirely located in the protruding structure 1014, the protruding structure 1014 has a conductive opening for exposing the contact 1022, so that at least one end of the contact 1022 can contact the conductive point 201. At this time, the bottom surface of the conductive opening is flush with the bottom surface of the contact 1022. When the contact 1022 is only partially located in the protruding structure 1014, at least one end of the contact 1022 passes through the protruding structure 1014. By arranging the first conductive part 10211 on the side of the frame structure, and the second conductive part 10212 and at least part of the contact 1022 are located in the protruding structure 1014, the exposed area of ​​the conductive clamping component 102 is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the conductive clamping component 102 being electroplated in the working state. In particular, the protruding structure 1014 can reduce the exposed area of ​​the contact 1022, thereby reducing the risk of the contact 1022 being electroplated in the working state.

[0095] In an achievable embodiment, the contact 1022 is a retractable structure. In this structure, the contact 1022 can be divided into a fixed portion and a retractable portion, one end of the fixed portion is disposed in the second conductive portion 10212, and the other end is slidably connected to the retractable portion. In the working state, one end of the retractable portion extending out of the fixed portion abuts against the conductive point 201, and the retractable portion abuts against the conductive point 201, so that the contact 1022 can have a buffer when in contact with the conductive point 201, so as to avoid rigid contact between the contact 1022 and the conductive point 201, and damage to the workpiece 20 to be plated caused by the rigid contact.

[0096] Further, see Fig.10 As shown, a limiting groove can be set along the circumference of the outer wall of the fixed part, and a limiting member is set in the limiting groove. The limiting member is made of elastic material, and the inner wall of the limiting member fits with the limiting groove, and the outer wall of the limiting member fits with the second conductive part. In this way, the contact 1022 can be stably installed in the second conductive part through the limiting member.

[0097] In an achievable implementation, the contact 1022 is a conductive contact or an insulating contact to achieve double-sided electroplating or single-sided electroplating of the object to be electroplated 20. Figure 7-10 As shown, when the contact 1022 is a conductive contact, the conductive clamping assembly 102 also includes a seal 1023 surrounding the conductive contact. In the working state, the seal 1023 contacts the workpiece 20 to be electroplated and forms a sealed space with it. Specifically, the conductive contact is located in the sealed space, and the plating solution can be isolated through the sealed space to prevent the plating solution from entering the sealed space to electroplate the conductive contact. Since the conductive contact can obtain negative current, if metal ions are free in the plating solution and enter the sealed space, they will adhere to the conductive contact, resulting in the conductive contact needing to be stripped after a certain period of use, otherwise it will not be able to continue to be used. However, the stripping process not only increases the cost of electroplating, but also reduces the efficiency of electroplating.

[0098] In an achievable embodiment, the portion of the conductive contact in contact with the workpiece 20 to be plated is made of a conductive rubber material, such as conductive silicone, and the portion of the insulating contact in contact with the workpiece 20 to be plated is made of an insulating rubber material. The conductive contact uses the conductivity of the conductive rubber material to achieve the transmission of the negative current, so that the workpiece 20 to be plated can obtain the negative current. At the same time, the flexibility of the conductive rubber material is used to reduce the pressure applied to the conductive point 201 when the contact 1022 contacts the conductive point 201, thereby avoiding damage to the workpiece 20 to be plated. The insulating contact uses the insulation of the insulating rubber material to prevent the negative current from being transmitted to the workpiece 20 to be plated, thereby achieving single-sided electroplating of the workpiece 20 to be plated. At the same time, the flexibility of the insulating rubber material is used to reduce the pressure applied to the workpiece 20 to be plated when the contact 1022 contacts the workpiece 20 to be plated, thereby avoiding damage to the workpiece 20 to be plated. If the contact 1022 is entirely made of rubber material, it does not need to be divided into a fixed part and a telescopic part due to its elasticity, and one end thereof is directly disposed in the second conductive part 10212 , and the other end is used to contact the conductive point 201 .

[0099] Accordingly, the seal 1023 is made of elastic material to avoid rigid contact between the seal 1023 and the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and the seal 1023 is made of insulating material to prevent metal ions from adhering to it, causing it to be connected to the workpiece 20 to be electroplated after electroplating.

[0100] For the sake of convenience, the conductive rod 1021 disposed on the first clamping plate 1011 is referred to as the first conductive rod, and the conductive rod 1021 disposed on the second clamping plate 1012 is referred to as the second conductive rod. In an achievable implementation, the first conductive rod and the second conductive rod may adopt any of the following structures:

[0101] (1) The contacts 1022 on the first conductive rod and the second conductive rod are both conductive contacts. In the working state, the first conductive rod and / or the second conductive rod are in a powered state. That is to say, by controlling the way in which the power supply delivers current, single-sided electroplating or double-sided electroplating of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is achieved. Specifically, when single-sided electroplating is performed, current is delivered to the conductive rod 1021 corresponding to the surface to be electroplated, so that it is in a powered state, so that the surface to be electroplated that is conductively connected to it will obtain negative current. When double-sided electroplating is performed, current is delivered to the two conductive rods 1021 at the same time, so that both conductive rods 1021 are in a powered state, so that both surfaces to be electroplated will obtain negative current. If the workpiece 20 to be plated only requires double-sided plating, the conductive rod 1021 can be kept in a continuously energized state, and the two surfaces to be plated of the workpiece 20 can achieve different plating effects by adjusting the current. If the currents flowing through the two conductive rods 1021 are the same, both sides of the workpiece 20 to be plated will have the same plating effect.

[0102] (2) The contact 1022 of the first conductive rod is a conductive contact, and the contact 1022 of the second conductive rod is an insulating contact. This structure is suitable for the case where the workpiece 20 to be plated has a single-sided electroplating requirement. In this structure, the conductive contact is conductively connected to the conductive point 201 of the surface to be plated, and the sealing member 1023 surrounding the conductive contact is in contact with the surface to be plated, so that the conductive contact is in a sealed space, and the insulating contact is insulated and connected to the other side of the workpiece 20 to be plated, and the surface will not receive negative current, thereby achieving single-sided electroplating of the workpiece 20 to be plated. Of course, it can also be applied to the situation where the workpiece 20 to be electroplated has a double-sided electroplating requirement. One side of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is first electroplated, and then the other side is electroplated, that is, the two sides of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated are conductively connected to the conductive contacts in sequence. If the conductive contacts transmit the same current when they are conductively connected to the surface to be electroplated twice, both sides of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated will have the same electroplating effect. If the conductive contacts transmit different currents when they are conductively connected to the surface to be electroplated twice, both sides of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated will have different electroplating effects.

[0103] (3) The contact 1022 of the second conductive rod is a conductive contact, and the contact 1022 of the first conductive rod is an insulating contact. Similar to the second structure, it is used to perform single-sided electroplating on the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, or to achieve double-sided electroplating of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated by sequential single-sided electroplating.

[0104] In one possible implementation, see Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the positioning assembly 103 includes at least a first positioning member and a second positioning member that can cooperate with each other. The first positioning member and the second positioning member are respectively arranged on the first clamp plate 1011 and the second clamp plate 1012 to align the first clamp plate 1011 and the second clamp plate 1012; when the electroplating fixture 10 is closed, the contact 1022 can be aligned with the conductive point 201 and contacted and connected.

[0105] Preferably, the positioning assembly 103 can keep the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 aligned during the separation and combination process. During the separation and combination of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, the positioning assembly 103 keeps the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 aligned, so that during the assembly process of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, there is no need to align the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 again, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated.

[0106] Preferably, the workpiece 20 to be plated has two plated surfaces, and the two plated surfaces of the workpiece 20 to be plated are respectively exposed from the opening of the first clamping plate 1011 and the opening of the second clamping plate 1012. The conductive clamping assembly 102 is disposed on the carrying assembly 101. When the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012 are separated and combined with each other, the positioning assembly 103 makes the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012 always in an aligned state, and at the same time makes the contact 1022 on the first clamp 1011 and the contact 1022 on the first clamp 1011 align with each other. When assembling the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, it is only necessary to make the conductive point 201 on one surface of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated abut against the contact 1022 on the first clamp 1011, and the conductive point 201 on the other surface of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated will also be aligned with the contact 1022 on the second clamp 1012, thereby eliminating the time for aligning the conductive point 201 on the other surface of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated and the contact 1022 on the second clamp 1012, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated.

[0107] Specifically, the first positioning member and the second positioning member are plug-in matched, the first positioning member is a positioning pin 1031, and the second positioning member is a positioning hole 1032. The positioning pin 1031 and the positioning hole 1032 match and correspond in position. Through the matching of the positioning pin 1031 and the positioning hole 1032, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 can always maintain an aligned state during the installation of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. Specifically, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are separated, and the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are away from each other. The positioning pin 1031 moves horizontally along the length of the positioning hole 1032 and moves away from the positioning hole 1032 until the distance between the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 is sufficient for the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and the distance is less than the length of the positioning pin 1031, so that the positioning pin 1031 starts to Finally, the first clamping plate 1011 is held in the positioning hole 1032 and does not come out of the positioning hole 1032. In this way, after the conductive point 201 on one side of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated abuts against the contact 1022 of the first clamping plate 1011, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are combined, and the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are close to each other. Under the guidance of the positioning pin 1031 and the positioning hole 1032, the positioning pin 1031 moves horizontally along the length of the positioning hole 1032 and moves into the positioning hole 1032. After moving into place, the contact 1022 of the second clamping plate 1012 just abuts against the conductive point 201 on the other side of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. In other words, after the positioning pin 1031 is fully inserted into the positioning hole 1032, there is a certain distance between the contact 1022 of the first clamping plate 1011 and the contact 1022 of the second clamping plate 1012, and the distance is the thickness of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. During the process of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 being separated and combined with each other, the positioning pin 1031 always remains in the positioning hole 1032 and does not fall out of the positioning hole 1032, so that the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are always in an aligned state, thereby making it unnecessary to align the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 again during the assembly process of the part to be electroplated 20, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the part to be electroplated 20.

[0108] Further, there are multiple first positioning members and multiple second positioning members, and the number is equal and the positions are one-to-one corresponding, so as to position multiple positions of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012. Preferably, there are four first positioning members and four second positioning members, and the four first positioning members are distributed at the four corners of the first clamping plate 1011, and correspondingly, the four second positioning members are distributed at the four corners of the second clamping plate 1012. In this way, the positioning members are distributed at the four corners, which can ensure that the positioning force or the supporting force can be evenly distributed on the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012.

[0109] In one possible implementation, see Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the positioning assembly 103 also includes a first connector and a second connector that can cooperate with each other. The first connector and the second connector are respectively arranged on the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, so that the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are detachably fixedly connected; wherein, the first connector and the second connector can be any one of a snap-on connection, a magnetic connection, a plug-in connection, and an adhesive connection. Preferably, the first connector and the second connector are connected by a magnetic connection, which is more stable than a plug-in connection and has better durability than an adhesive connection. Specifically, the first connector is a first magnet 1033, and the second connector is a second magnet 1034. The first magnet 1033 and the second magnet 1034 have opposite magnetic properties and corresponding positions. The first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 can be repeatedly separated and connected by the cooperation of the first magnet 1033 and the second magnet 1034, so that the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 connected by the clutch can quickly achieve a stable connection. When the first positioning member and the second positioning member do not lock the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are easily separated from each other. By setting the first connecting member and the second connecting member, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 can be locked, so that the electroplating fixture 10 can stably clamp the workpiece 20 to be electroplated.

[0110] Furthermore, there are multiple first magnets 1033 and second magnets 1034, and the number is equal and the positions are one-to-one corresponding, so that multiple positions of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 can be stably connected. Preferably, every two first magnets 1033 form a group, and the two first magnets 1033 in the same group are respectively located on both sides of a second conductive portion 10212 of the first clamping plate 1011, and correspondingly, every two second magnets 1034 form a group, and the two second magnets 1034 in the same group are respectively located on both sides of a second conductive portion 10212 of the second clamping plate 1012, that is, the number of the first magnets 1033 and the second magnets 1034 are both twice the number of the second conductive portion 10212. By setting the magnet around the second conductive part 10212, when the contact 1022 abuts against the conductive point 201, the magnetic connection force between the first clamp plate 1011 and the second clamp plate 1012 can be used to ensure the stability and continuity of the abutment. Magnets are set on both sides of the second conductive part 10212 to ensure that the magnetic force can be evenly distributed around the second conductive part 10212.

[0111] In an achievable implementation, a clearance opening 1015 is provided on the bearing assembly, and the clearance opening 1015 is communicated with the opening 1013. Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the first clamping plate 1011 and / or the second clamping plate 1012 is changed from a frame-shaped structure to a U-shaped structure, and the opening portion of the U-shaped structure is formed as a clearance opening 1015, or, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a groove is provided on one end of the first clamping plate 1011 and / or the second clamping plate 1012, and the groove penetrates the inner wall and the outer wall of a frame of the frame structure, and the groove is formed as a clearance opening 1015. In this way, the tool for transporting the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can move away from the electroplating fixture 10 through the clearance opening 1015 without interference after the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is installed on the electroplating fixture 10, and after the electroplating is completed, the tool for transporting the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can unload the workpiece 20 to be electroplated through the clearance opening 1015. In addition, during the electroplating process, at least part of the area of ​​the workpiece 20 to be electroplated and the electroplating fixture 10 are immersed in the electroplating solution. When the electroplating is completed and the electroplating fixture 10 moves away from the electroplating tank, the electroplating solution can flow out from the clearance opening 1015 to avoid the electroplating solution remaining on the workpiece 20 to be electroplated and the electroplating fixture 10, and the electroplating solution can also be recycled to avoid the waste of the electroplating solution.

[0112] In one embodiment disclosed in the present application, a plating fixture assembly device is also provided. The plating fixture 10 in the aforementioned embodiment can be applied to the plating fixture assembly device. The plating fixture assembly device is used to install the workpiece 20 to be electroplated onto the plating fixture 10 to realize the automated assembly of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated.

[0113] like Figure 11-Figure 19 As shown, an electroplating fixture assembly device includes a fixed table 30, a conveying mechanism 50, a correcting mechanism 60, an adjusting mechanism 70 and a feeding mechanism 80. The fixed table 30 is used to place the electroplating fixture 10 so that the position of the electroplating fixture 10 can be fixed, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated; the conveying mechanism 50 is used to transfer the position of the electroplating fixture 10, and the conveying route at least includes between the fixed table 30 and the electroplating tank, and between the shelf of the electroplating fixture 10 and the fixed table 30; the correcting mechanism 60 is used to make the electroplating fixture 10 at a preset angle to achieve the initial positioning between the workpiece 20 to be electroplated and the electroplating fixture 10; the adjusting mechanism 70 is used to separate or merge the electroplating fixture 10 so that the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can be installed in the electroplating fixture 10; the feeding mechanism 80 is used to install the workpiece 20 to be electroplated in the electroplating fixture 10, thereby completing the assembly of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. In this way, the step-by-step assembly of the workpiece 20 to be plated can be achieved, so that the conductive point 201 of the workpiece 20 to be plated can be accurately clamped and conductively connected. Compared with the method of first installing the workpiece 20 to be plated and then conducting the conductive connection, this installation method can improve the assembly efficiency. By setting the correction mechanism 60 to correct the electroplating fixture 10, the workpiece 10 to be plated can be assembled after the electroplating fixture 10 is corrected, which can improve the assembly accuracy.

[0114] In this embodiment, the electroplating fixture 10 includes a first clamping plate 1011 and a second clamping plate 1012 connected by a clutch, the first clamping plate 1011 is connected to the support frame 40, the support frame 40 is provided with a fixing hole 401, and the fixing table 30 is provided with a fixing block 301 matching the fixing hole 401. Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the top of the first clamping plate 1011 is connected to the support frame 40, so that the electroplating fixture 10 can always be in a vertical state during the assembly process, and when there are multiple electroplating fixtures 10, multiple electroplating fixtures 10 can be moved simultaneously by moving the support frame 40. Through the cooperation of the fixing hole 401 and the fixing block 301, the position of the support frame 40 and the first clamping plate 1011 thereon can be kept unchanged during the assembly process, which is convenient for other mechanisms to position the first clamping plate 1011, and also improves the accuracy of the installation of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. Since the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are detachably connected, when the position of the first clamping plate 1011 is fixed, the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can still be assembled into the electroplating fixture 10 by changing the position of the second clamping plate 1012. Furthermore, the conductive rod 1021 is electrically connected to the power supply through a conductive wire. In order to prevent the conductive rod 1021 and the conductive wire from being electroplated, one end of the conductive rod 1021 connected to the conductive wire extends from the top of the electroplating fixture 10, and the conductive wire can be set on the surface or inside the support frame 40. In this way, when the plated area of ​​the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is immersed in the electroplating solution, the conductive wire and the conductive rod 1021 will not come into contact with the electroplating solution.

[0115] The transport mechanism 50 at least includes a transport moving component 501 and a transport clamping component 502. The transport clamping component 502 is connected to the transport moving component 501 and drives the transport clamping component 502 to move. In the working state, the transport clamping component 502 clamps the support frame 40, and moves the support frame 40 to the fixed table 30, so that the fixed block 301 passes through the fixed hole 401, and moves the support frame 40 from the fixed table 30 to the electroplating tank. Among them, the transport mechanism 50 can adopt equipment with mobile transportation functions, such as forklifts, suspended conveying equipment and automatic guided vehicles, and the transport moving component 501 and the transport clamping component 502 are components of the equipment respectively. When the transport mechanism 50 is a component of an assembly device, the assembly device has a frame 90, and the transport moving component 501 is arranged on the frame 90, see Fig.13 As shown, the transport and moving component 501 includes a transport transmission component 5011 and a transport drive component 5012. The transport transmission component 5011 and the transport drive component 5012 are matched structures. If the transport transmission component 5011 adopts a linear module, the transport drive component 5012 adopts a cylinder. If the transport transmission component 5011 adopts a chain transmission structure, the transport drive component 5012 adopts a motor. If the transport transmission component 5011 adopts a belt transmission structure, the transport drive component 5012 adopts a motor.

[0116] One of the above structures will be used for illustration below. Assuming that the transport transmission member 5011 adopts a chain transmission structure and the transport drive member 5012 adopts a motor, the transport transmission member 5011 includes a gear and a chain. The gear is rotatably set on the frame 90, and the chain is engaged with the gear and forms a circular track together with it. The shelf, fixed table 30 and plating tank of the electroplating fixture 10 are all located below the circular track. The motor is set on the frame 90 and connected to the gear. The transport clamping assembly 502 is connected to the chain. Driven by the motor, the transport clamping assembly 502 can move along the circular track and pass through the shelf, fixed table 30 and plating tank of the electroplating fixture 10.

[0117] The transport clamping assembly 502 at least includes a transport clamping seat 5021, a transport clamping member 5022 and a transport clamping driving member 5023. The transport clamping seat 5021 is connected to a chain. The transport clamping driving member 5023 includes a horizontal driving member and a vertical driving member. The vertical driving member is a cylinder arranged in a vertical direction. The vertical driving member is arranged on the transport clamping seat 5021 and is connected to the transport connecting seat. The horizontal driving member is a cylinder arranged in a horizontal direction. The horizontal driving member is arranged on the transport connecting seat and is connected to the transport clamping member 5022. The transport clamping member 5022 is a matching structure with the support frame 40, see Fig.14 As shown, if the transport clamp 5022 is an L-shaped structure, an inverted U-shaped transport fixing member can be correspondingly set at the top of the support frame 40, so that the transport clamp 5022 can pass through the transport fixing member under the drive of the transport clamp driving member 5023, thereby lifting the support frame 40 and moving it. If the transport clamp 5022 is a pneumatic clamp, two grooves for placing the pneumatic clamps can be set on both sides of the support frame 40, and the two grooves are arranged opposite to each other, so that under the drive of the transport clamp driving member 5023, the two fingers of the pneumatic clamp can fall into the two grooves respectively, thereby clamping the support frame 40 and driving it to lift and move.

[0118] During transportation, the transport clamping component 502 needs to be driven by the transport moving component 501 to first move to the top of the shelf of the electroplating fixture 10, and the transport clamping driving component 5023 drives the transport clamping component 5022 to approach and clamp the support frame 40, and then the transport moving component 501 drives the transport clamping component 502 to move to the top of the fixed table 30, and ensure that the fixed block 301 corresponds to the position of the fixed hole 401, and the transport clamping component 5022 and the support frame 40 are driven by the transport clamping driving component 5023 to move close to the fixed table 30 until the fixed block 301 passes through the fixed hole 401. In this way, the support frame 40 and the electroplating fixture 10 connected thereto can be transferred to the fixed table 30. After the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is assembled into the electroplating fixture 10, the transport and clamping assembly 502 and the transport and moving assembly 501 will repeat the above actions to transport the support frame 40 to the electroplating tank so that at least a portion of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is immersed in the electroplating solution for electroplating.

[0119] In actual applications, the placement positions of the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012 are preset, and the setting position and moving route of the loading mechanism 80 are determined accordingly. However, due to long-term use or improper connection, the part of the first clamp 1011 connected to the support frame 40 will be deformed, thereby causing the position of the second clamp 1012 connected thereto to change accordingly. Therefore, the correction mechanism 60 is required to guide and correct the positions of the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012.

[0120] The correction mechanism 60 includes a first guide assembly and a second guide assembly, see Fig.15As shown, the first guide assembly and the second guide assembly both have a guide base 601, a guide clamping member 603 and a guide clamping driving member 604, wherein the guide clamping driving member 604 is disposed on the guide base 601 and connected to the guide clamping member 603; wherein the guide clamping members 603 have two and are disposed opposite to each other, and in the working state, the two guide clamping members 603 are respectively located on both sides of the electroplating fixture 10, and are in contact with the electroplating fixture 10 under the drive of the guide clamping driving member 604 to clamp the electroplating fixture 10. Preferably, the guide clamping driving member 604 is a cylinder, the guide clamping member 603 is a block structure, and the width of the guide clamping member 603 is greater than the thickness of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012. wherein the correction mechanism 60 can be disposed in the fixed platform 30, or can be disposed outside the fixed platform 30, and connected to the frame 90. The first guide assembly and the second guide assembly correspond to the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 respectively, and the two guide clamping members 603 of the first guide assembly are respectively located on both sides of the first clamping plate 1011, and the two guide clamping members 603 of the second guide assembly are respectively located on both sides of the second clamping plate 1012, so as to simultaneously or successively correct the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012. The correcting mechanism 60 may include only the first guide assembly or the second guide assembly to respectively correct the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012.

[0121] Further, a slide groove is provided on the guide base 601, and the guide clamping member 603 is slidably provided in the slide groove. When the guide clamping member 603 is driven by the guide clamping driving member 604, it will move horizontally along the length direction of the slide groove, so that the moving direction of the guide clamping member 603 can be guided to improve the clamping accuracy of the guide clamping member 603. Further, docking members 1061 are provided on the side walls of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, and docking holes 6031 matching the docking members 1061 are provided on the guide clamping member 603. The number of the docking members 1061 and the docking holes 6031 are equal and the positions are corresponding. When the guide clamping member 603 is close to the first clamping plate 1011 or the second clamping plate 1012, and the docking member 1061 is inserted into the docking hole 6031, it indicates that the guide clamping member 603 has achieved accurate clamping of the first clamping plate 1011 or the second clamping plate 1012. When there are multiple docking members 1061 and docking holes 6031, the multiple docking members 1061 and the multiple docking holes 6031 are spaced apart along the height direction of the clamping plate and the guide clamping member 603. In practical applications, every two electroplating fixtures 10 form a group, and multiple groups of electroplating fixtures 10 are spaced apart on the support frame 40, and two electroplating fixtures 10 in the same group are arranged side by side. When the electroplating fixtures 10 connected to the support frame 40 are arranged in groups, the two guide clamping members 603 will respectively clamp the two electroplating fixtures 10 away from each other.

[0122] In an achievable embodiment, the correction mechanism 60 further includes a rotary drive member 602, which is connected to the guide base 601 and drives the guide base 601 to drive the guide clamping member 603 to rotate. When the guide clamping member 603 is in a state of clamping the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, the rotary drive member 602 drives the guide base 601 to rotate, which can change the angle of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012. When the guide clamping member 603 does not clamp the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, the rotary drive member 602 drives the guide base 601 to rotate, which can change the position of the guide clamping member 603 to clamp the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 with a changed angle. Preferably, the rotary drive member 602 is a motor.

[0123] See also Fig.16 As shown, when the shapes of the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012 undergo angular deformation in the width direction, the two guiding clamps 603 can be moved in sequence. Specifically, after the docking hole 6031 of one guiding clamp 603 is aligned with the docking piece 1061 of the first clamp 1011 or the second clamp 1012, the other guiding clamp 603 moves and pushes the first clamp 1011 or the second clamp 1012 to move, so that the docking pieces 1061 on both sides of the clamps can be plugged into the docking holes 6031. In this way, the side edges of the clamps and the guiding clamps 603 can be parallel and in contact with each other, thereby achieving the correction of the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012 in the width direction.

[0124] See also Fig.17 As shown, when the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are deformed in the installation angle, that is, when the installation position is deflected, the two guiding clamping members 603 can be moved simultaneously. Specifically, the two guiding clamping members 603 are moved simultaneously so that the docking member 1061 is plugged into the docking hole 6031. After the guiding clamping members 603 complete the clamping of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, the guiding base 601 is driven to rotate by the rotating driving member 602, so that the angle of the clamping plate can be changed. In this way, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 can be both in a preset position (for example, perpendicular to the support frame 40), thereby realizing the angular correction of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012.

[0125] It should be noted that in the above situation, the deformations produced by the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are slight deformations, which can restore the preset state under the guidance of the correction mechanism 60, and the slight deformations do not affect the insertion of the docking piece 1061 into the docking hole 6031.

[0126] If the correction mechanism 60 is disposed in the fixed platform 30, after the support frame 40 is placed in the fixed platform 30 by the transport mechanism 50, the first clamping plate 1011 is located above the guide base 601 of the first guide assembly, and the second clamping plate 1012 is located above the guide base 601 of the second guide assembly. If the correction mechanism 60 is disposed outside the fixed platform 30, there are two first guide assemblies and two second guide assemblies, which are respectively located on both sides of the fixed platform 30. In this case, each guide assembly has only one guide clamping driving member 604 and one guide clamping member 603. After the support frame 40 is placed in the fixed platform 30, the guide clamping driving member 604 drives the guide clamping member 603 to move along the slide groove toward the side wall of the first clamping plate 1011 or the second clamping plate 1012 until the docking member 1061 is inserted into the docking hole 6031, and then rotated by the rotating driving member 602 to change the angle of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012.

[0127] Because the correction mechanism 60 cannot obtain the angle of the first clamping plate 1011 after deformation before correcting the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, in an achievable implementation, see Fig.15 As shown, the correction mechanism 60 also includes an in-place sensor 605, which is arranged on the guide clamping member 603. Accordingly, a docking member 1061 for positioning the in-place sensor 605 can be arranged on the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012. The centers of the docking member 1061 and other docking members 1061 are located on the same straight line, and the center point of the in-place sensor 605 and the center points of the multiple docking holes 6031 are located on the same extension line. After the support frame 40 is placed in place, the in-place sensor 605 obtains the position of the docking part 1061 by emitting a sensing ray. If the position of the docking part 1061 cannot be obtained due to the deformation of the first clamping plate 1011, the guide base 601 can be driven to rotate by the rotating driving member 602 so that the in-place sensor 605 can change its position. After the in-place sensor 605 is able to obtain the position of the docking part 1061, it indicates that the position of the docking part 1061 corresponds to that of the docking hole 6031, and the first clamping plate 1011 or the second clamping plate 1012 is on the moving path of the guide clamping member 603. At this time, the guide clamping driving member 604 drives the guide clamping member 603 to move close to the first clamping plate 1011 or the second clamping plate 1012, and the docking part 1061 will be inserted into the docking hole 6031.

[0128] The adjustment mechanism 70 includes an adjustment drive assembly 701, see Fig.18As shown, the adjustment drive assembly 701 is connected to the second guide assembly, and drives the second guide assembly to move closer to or away from the first guide assembly (or the first clamping plate 1011). In the working state, after the second guide assembly clamps the second clamping plate 1012, the adjustment drive assembly 701 drives the second guide assembly to move closer to the first clamping plate 1011 to achieve the closing of the electroplating fixture 10; when the electroplated workpiece 20 is unloaded, the adjustment drive assembly 701 drives the second guide assembly away from the first clamping plate 1011 to achieve the opening of the electroplating fixture 10. In the process of the second clamping plate 1012 moving toward the first clamping plate 1011 (in the process of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 being combined), the second guide assembly keeps the second clamping plate 1012 in the corrected state, so that the second clamping plate 1012 and the first clamping plate 1011 can be accurately combined.

[0129] In a variant embodiment, see Fig.19 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 70 includes an adjustment drive assembly 701 and an adjustment loading assembly 702, the second guide assembly is arranged on the adjustment loading assembly 702, the adjustment drive assembly 701 is connected to the adjustment loading assembly 702, and drives the adjustment loading assembly 702 to move closer to or away from the first guide assembly. Since the action performed by the adjustment mechanism 70 belongs to the first step of the process of installing the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, it is necessary to ensure that the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are at a preset angle before the adjustment mechanism 70 is executed. After the correction mechanism 60 corrects the angles of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, it indicates that the electroplating fixture 10 has completed the preliminary positioning, and the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can be installed in the electroplating fixture 10.

[0130] In this embodiment, the first clamping plate 1011 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 40, and the adjusting mechanism 70 realizes the opening and closing of the electroplating fixture 10 by moving the second clamping plate 1012. After the second guide assembly completes the correction of the second clamping plate 1012, in order to make the second clamping plate 1012 always at a preset angle, the adjusting mechanism 70 is directly connected to the second guide assembly, and controls the movement of the second guide assembly to change the position of the second clamping plate 1012. Specifically, the adjusting drive assembly 701 at least includes an adjusting drive member, and the adjusting drive member adopts a cylinder, and the adjusting drive member is connected to the rotating drive member 602. In order to ensure a stable connection between the adjusting mechanism 70 and the second guide assembly, if the second guide assembly is located in the fixed platform 30, the adjusting drive member is located in the fixed platform 30, and if the second guide assembly is located outside the fixed platform 30, the adjusting drive member is located outside the fixed platform 30. The adjusting loading assembly 702 at least includes an adjusting platform, a rotating driving member 602 is arranged on the adjusting platform, and the adjusting driving member is connected to the adjusting platform. At this time, there is a situation where the adjusting loading assembly 702 is located outside the fixed platform 30, and the second guide assembly is located inside the fixed platform 30, that is, one end of the adjusting platform extends to the outside of the fixed platform 30 and is connected to the adjusting driving member.

[0131] After the angles of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are corrected, the adjusting driving member will drive the adjusting platform or the rotating driving member 602 to move closer to or away from the first guide assembly, so that the second clamping plate 1012 is separated from or merged with the first clamping plate 1011. Since the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are positioned by the positioning pin 1031 and the positioning hole 1032, in order to make the contact 1022 of the first clamping plate 1011 and the contact 1022 of the second clamping plate 1012 always in a relative position during the process of assembling the electroplated workpiece 20, when the adjusting driving member moves the second clamping plate 1012, the moving distance of the second clamping plate 1012 is less than or equal to the length of the positioning pin 1031, so that the positioning pin 1031 remains inserted into the positioning hole 1032. In this way, after the second clamping plate 1012 is separated from or merged with the first clamping plate 1011, there is no need to position the contact 1022 again.

[0132] See also Fig. 20 and Fig.21As shown, the loading mechanism 80 includes a loading moving component 801 and a loading suction cup component 802. The loading moving component 801 is connected to the loading suction cup component 802 and drives the loading suction cup component 802 to move; the loading suction cup component 802 at least includes a vacuum pump 8021, an air control valve 8022 and a suction cup 8023. The vacuum pump 8021 is connected to the suction cup 8023 through an air supply pipe 8024. The air control valve 8022 is arranged on the air supply pipe 8024, and the suction cup 8023 has air holes; in the working state, the suction cup 8023 contacts the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and the vacuum pump 8021 is turned on or off to allow the suction cup 8023 to adsorb or release the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. Specifically, the feeding mechanism 80 is arranged inside or outside the fixed table 30, and the feeding suction cup assembly 802 is driven by the feeding moving assembly 801 to install the electroplated parts 20, wherein the feeding moving assembly 801 includes a feeding horizontal driving member and a feeding vertical driving member, and the feeding horizontal driving member can be connected to the feeding vertical driving member, and the feeding vertical driving member is connected to the feeding suction cup assembly 802. It can also be connected to the feeding vertical driving member and the feeding horizontal driving member, and the feeding horizontal driving member is connected to the feeding suction cup assembly 802. Through the cooperation of the feeding horizontal driving member and the feeding vertical driving member, the position of the feeding suction cup assembly 802 is changed. Preferably, the feeding horizontal driving member and the feeding vertical driving member are both cylinders. In order to fix the position of the suction cup 8023, the feeding suction cup assembly 802 can also include a suction cup bracket, and the air supply pipe 8024 is arranged on the suction cup bracket.

[0133] After the adjusting driving member drives the second clamping plate 1012 away from the first clamping plate 1011, there is a distance between the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 for the loading mechanism 80 to install the plated workpiece 20, so as to form an installation space. The loading suction cup assembly 802 is driven by the loading moving assembly 801 to move to a position opposite to the clearance opening 1015. In actual application, the top of the first clamping plate 1011 is connected to the support frame 40, and the clearance opening 1015 of the first clamping plate 1011 is located at the bottom of the first clamping plate 1011. Correspondingly, the clearance opening 1015 of the second clamping plate 1012 is located at the bottom of the second clamping plate 1012. Before or after the support frame 40 is placed on the fixed table 30, the suction cup 8023 is driven by the loading and moving assembly 801 to move to the side of the workpiece 20 to be plated and contact it. The vacuum pump 8021 is turned on and negative pressure is generated in the air supply pipe 8024, so that the suction cup 8023 and the workpiece 20 to be plated are close to each other. After the suction cup 8023 and the workpiece 20 to be plated are completely attached, the suction cup 8023 drives the workpiece 20 to be plated to move into the installation space through the loading and moving assembly 801, and the conductive point 201 on one side of the workpiece 20 to be plated is in contact with the contact 1022 of the first clamping plate 1011. Abutment. At this time, the adjustment mechanism 70 can drive the second clamping plate 1012 to move closer to the first clamping plate 1011 until the positioning pin 1031 is fully inserted into the positioning hole 1032, and the contact 1022 of the second clamping plate 1012 can abut against the conductive point 201 on the other side of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, completing the assembly of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated. After the vacuum pump 8021 is turned off, air will enter the suction cup 8023, so that the suction cup 8023 is gradually separated from the surface of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and the suction cup 8023 can be driven by the loading moving component 801 to move away from the workpiece 20 to be electroplated through the yielding port 1015.

[0134] In order to improve the assembly efficiency of the electroplating fixture 10, the loading suction cup assembly 802 absorbs the workpiece 20 to be electroplated and moves the workpiece 20 to be electroplated to the bottom of the clearance port 1015. This process should be completed before the adjustment assembly separates the second clamping plate 1012 from the first clamping plate 1011, so that after the second clamping plate 1012 is separated from the first clamping plate 1011, the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can be immediately moved to the installation space for assembly.

[0135] It should be noted that, when it is possible to transfer the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, the loading suction cup assembly 802 can be replaced by other tools, such as clamping tools such as a manipulator. When using a manipulator or other similar tools, a buffer rubber pad should be set on the part that contacts the workpiece 20 to be electroplated to avoid damage to the workpiece 20 to be electroplated.

[0136] In one embodiment disclosed in the present application, there is also provided a method for assembling an electroplating fixture, which is used for assembling the electroplating fixture 10 in the aforementioned embodiment. The method comprises:

[0137] An electroplating fixture 10 is provided, comprising a first clamping plate 1011 and a second clamping plate 1012 connected in a clutch manner;

[0138] When the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are separated, the first clamping plate 1011 and / or the second clamping plate 1012 are corrected;

[0139] During the process of combining the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 , the first clamping plate 1011 and / or the second clamping plate 1012 are kept in an aligned state.

[0140] Preferably, when the first splint 1011 and the second splint 1012 are separated, the first splint 1011 and the second splint 1012 are aligned; during the process of combining the first splint 1011 and the second splint 1012, the first splint 1011 and / or the second splint 1012 remain aligned.

[0141] In one achievable implementation, the electroplating fixture assembly method uses the aforementioned electroplating fixture assembly equipment;

[0142] The first clamping plate 1011 is disposed on the supporting frame 40;

[0143] Controlling the transport mechanism 50 to move the support frame 40 and place it on the fixed platform 30;

[0144] The first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are clamped and guided to be corrected to a preset angle by the correcting mechanism 60;

[0145] Control the adjustment mechanism 70 to make the second clamping plate 1012 move away from the first clamping plate 1011;

[0146] The loading mechanism 80 absorbs and moves the workpiece 20 to be plated until the conductive point 201 on one side of the workpiece 20 to be plated abuts against the conductive contact of the first clamping plate 1011;

[0147] The control adjustment mechanism 70 makes the second clamping plate 1012 move closer to the first clamping plate 1011, so that the conductive point 201 on the other side of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated abuts against the conductive contact of the second clamping plate 1012;

[0148] Controlling the loading mechanism 80 to release the workpiece 20 to be electroplated, and moving the workpiece 20 away from the workpiece 20 to be electroplated through the clearance opening 1015 of the first clamping plate 1011 and / or the second clamping plate 1012;

[0149] The transport mechanism 50 is controlled to move the support frame 40 and place it into the electroplating tank.

[0150] In this embodiment, before the electroplating fixture 10 is moved to the fixed table 30, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are in a connected state, and the support frame 40 and the fixed table 30 have matching fixing holes 401 and fixing blocks 301. When the transport mechanism 50 places the support frame 40 on the fixed table 30 and the fixing block 301 passes through the fixing hole 401, the first positioning of the electroplating fixture 10 can be completed. The angles of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are corrected by the correction mechanism 60 to achieve the second positioning of the electroplating fixture 10. When the angle of the electroplating fixture 10 is corrected, the material is loaded. The mechanism 80 can directly follow the set program. After the adjusting mechanism 70 separates the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012, the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is moved between the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012, and the conductive point 201 on one side of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is abutted against the conductive contact of the first clamp 1011. After the adjusting mechanism 70 merges the first clamp 1011 and the second clamp 1012, the conductive point 201 on the other side of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated is abutted against the conductive contact of the second clamp 1012. After the loading mechanism 80 is removed from the electroplating fixture 10, the assembly of the workpiece 20 to be electroplated can be completed.

[0151] In an achievable implementation, the correction mechanism 60 has an in-position sensor 605, and before the correction mechanism 60 clamps the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, it also includes:

[0152] Determine the position of the docking piece 1061 of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 by using the in-position sensor 605;

[0153] The clamping angle of the correcting mechanism 60 is adjusted according to the position information of the docking member 1061 , and the initial position information of the correcting mechanism 60 is recorded.

[0154] Specifically, the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are both provided with a docking piece 1061, and the position of the docking piece 1061 is determined by the in-place sensor 605, so that the correction mechanism 60 can accurately clamp the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012. In practical applications, the installation position of the correction mechanism 60 is the preset position of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012. If the in-place sensor 605 cannot sense the position of the docking piece 1061 of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, it means that the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 have an angular offset or deformation, and the angle of the correction mechanism 60 needs to be adjusted so that the in-place sensor 605 can sense the position of the docking piece 1061.

[0155] In an achievable implementation, after the correction mechanism 60 clamps the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, it further includes:

[0156] Control the return mechanism 60 to guide the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 to return to the initial position;

[0157] Alternatively, when the initial position coincides with the position of the docking member 1061 , the adjusting mechanism 70 is controlled to move the second clamping plate 1012 away from the first clamping plate 1011 .

[0158] Since the process of the correcting mechanism 60 is a pre-process of the process of the adjusting mechanism 70, the process of the adjusting mechanism 70 can be executed only when the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are at a preset angle. Therefore, the initial position of the correcting mechanism 60 is the position of the preset angle of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012. If the correcting mechanism 60 is at the initial position, the in-place sensor 605 senses the position of the docking piece 1061 of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, which indicates that the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012 are already at the preset angle. After the correcting mechanism 60 clamps the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 1012, the process of the adjusting mechanism 70 can be directly executed, that is, the assembly of the electroplated part 20; if the correcting mechanism 60 is at the initial position, the in-place sensor 605 cannot sense the position of the first clamping plate 1011 and the second clamping plate 10 12, it indicates that the angle of the first splint 1011 and the second splint 1012 has been offset, and the angle of the first splint 1011 and the second splint 1012 needs to be corrected. At this time, the initial position information of the correcting mechanism 60 should be recorded. When the correcting mechanism 60 changes the angle until the in-place sensor 605 can sense it, the first splint 1011 and the second splint 1012 are clamped and brought back to the initial position. In this way, the angle correction of the first splint 1011 and the second splint 1012 is completed.

[0159] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
