As electronic products continue to develop in the direction of miniaturization, multi-function and high performance, the manufacturing precision and quality requirements for circuit boards are also increasing. Electroplating, as an important process in the circuit board manufacturing process, can deposit metal coatings on the surface of the circuit board, which plays a key role in improving conductivity, enhancing corrosion resistance, improving welding performance, etc. However, traditional circuit board electroplating devices have many disadvantages; On the one hand, the fixtures of traditional circuit board electroplating devices are often of fixed specifications, which are difficult to adapt to circuit boards of different sizes and types. Every time the circuit board model is changed, it often takes a lot of time to adjust or replace the fixtures, which seriously affects production efficiency. On the other hand, the traditional circuit board electroplating equipment is relatively extensive in the control of the electroplating solution. After long-term use, the impurities in the electroplating solution increase, affecting the stability and uniformity of the electroplating effect. In addition, the lack of precise liquid level control makes it easy for the electroplating solution to be insufficient or overflow, which not only wastes resources but also may pollute the working environment.

Incomplete cleaning will leave residual pollutants, and irregular drying will easily cause the circuit board to get damp and damaged, which cannot meet the stringent requirements of current high-quality circuit board production.

A pin hole 36 is opened at the center of one side of the connecting block 26. The outer side wall of the pin rod 32 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the pin hole 36 on the side close to the sliding block 18, and a pull button 37 is fixedly connected to the end of the pin rod 32 away from the pin hole 36; first, there is a penetrating pin rod 32 at the lower part of the side of the adjusting rod 24 away from the sliding block 18, and the middle part of the outer side wall of the pin rod 32 is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 33. At the same time, the limiting shell 34 is also fixedly connected to the outer side of the pin rod 32 on the side of the adjusting rod 24 away from the sliding block 18, and the limiting ring 33 can slide on the inner side wall of the limiting shell 34.

[0025] In one embodiment, specifically: an operating table 38 and a cleaning tank 39 are fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surfaces of the two connecting posts 13, and a drying mechanism 40 is fixedly connected to the top center of both sides of the cleaning tank 39; wherein, the operating table 38 provides an exclusive working area for the operator, which is convenient for the operator to perform fine operations such as selecting an appropriate cathode fixture and installing the circuit board on the fixture before the electroplating process begins; it is also convenient to remove the circuit board from the fixture after the electroplating is completed, and to organize and store the finished products; and the role of the cleaning tank 39 is very critical. After the electroplating of the circuit board is completed, the electroplating liquid and metal will remain on its surface. Pollutants such as particles need to be cleaned in time. The circuit board can be immersed in the cleaning tank 39 to carry out the subsequent cleaning process. After the circuit board is cleaned in the cleaning tank 39, the wet state is not suitable for directly entering the next process or storage. At this time, the drying mechanism 40 located on both sides of the cleaning tank can play a role. By heating the air, blowing air, etc., the moisture on the surface of the circuit board is quickly removed to make the circuit board reach a dry state, ensuring that rust, short circuit and other problems will not occur due to residual moisture during subsequent processing, transportation or storage, thereby ensuring the quality and performance of the circuit board and making the entire electroplating process more complete and smooth.
[0026] In one embodiment, specifically: a liquid storage tank 41 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the frame 11, a liquid outlet pipe 42 is connected to the lower part of one side of the liquid storage tank 41, an infusion pump 43 is installed at the end of the liquid outlet pipe 42 away from the liquid storage tank 41, the liquid outlet end of the infusion pump 43 is connected to a filter 45 through a connecting pipe 44, a liquid infusion pipe 46 is installed at the liquid outlet end of the filter 45, the end of the liquid infusion pipe 46 away from the filter 45 passes through the lower center of one side of the electroplating tank 12, and the liquid outlet end of the liquid infusion pipe 46 is connected to a ring pipe 47 The inner wall of the annular tube 47 is provided with a plurality of liquid outlet holes 48, a liquid level sensor 49 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the electroplating tank 12, the output end of the liquid level sensor 49 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 28, and the input end of the infusion pump 43 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 28; wherein, a liquid storage tank 41 is fixed at the lower part of the inner wall of the frame 11, which is used to store the electroplating liquid and continuously supply the electroplating liquid for the electroplating process; the infusion pump 43 plays the role of power transmission, extracts the electroplating liquid in the liquid storage tank 41, and promotes the electroplating liquid The liquid flows along the subsequent connecting pipe 44, the filter 45, and the infusion pipe 46, and is finally transported to the electroplating tank 12; the filter 45 usually contains filter media such as activated carbon and microporous ceramic filter elements, which can intercept tiny impurity particles and suspended matter in the electroplating solution, prevent the dirty electroplating solution from affecting the electroplating effect, and ensure the purity of the electroplating solution entering the electroplating tank; the inner wall of the annular tube 47 is provided with a plurality of liquid outlet holes 48. This annular distribution and porous design can allow the electroplating solution to be sprayed into the electroplating tank 12 more evenly, maintaining the electroplating effect. The liquid components are evenly distributed in the tank, which is conducive to consistent electroplating effects at all parts of the circuit board; the liquid level sensor 49 is used to monitor the liquid level of the plating liquid in the plating tank in real time, and output the liquid level information in the form of an electrical signal to the input end of the controller 28. Once the liquid level is lower than the preset lower limit, the controller 28 will send a start command to the input end of the infusion pump 43 based on the signal, prompting the infusion pump 43 to draw plating liquid from the liquid storage tank 41 to replenish it, thereby realizing automatic and stable control of the plating liquid level to ensure smooth and continuous electroplating operations.
[0027] In one embodiment, specifically: overflow pipes 50 are connected to both sides of the front and rear surfaces of the electroplating tank 12, and the ends of the four overflow pipes 50 away from the electroplating tank 12 are respectively connected to the upper parts of the front and rear surfaces of the liquid storage tank 41. During the electroplating process, the plating liquid level in the electroplating tank 12 will fluctuate due to various factors. When the liquid level is too high, excess plating liquid will flow out along these overflow pipes 50, and the other ends of the four overflow pipes 50 are respectively connected to the upper parts of the front and rear surfaces of the liquid storage tank 41. In this way, the plating liquid overflowing from the electroplating tank 12 can naturally flow back into the liquid storage tank 41 by relying on gravity. This not only avoids the waste of plating liquid or pollution of the working environment due to overflow of the excessively high liquid level, but also cleverly constitutes a plating liquid circulation system, which cooperates with the previously mentioned mechanism of extracting plating liquid from the liquid storage tank to replenish the plating tank, further maintains the dynamic stability of the plating liquid composition, and ensures that the electroplating operation is carried out continuously and stably.
[0028] In one embodiment, specifically: a limiting frame 51 is welded to the ends of the two connecting columns 13 that are away from each other, a limiting block 52 is fixedly connected to the middle of both sides of the installation frame 17, and the outer wall of the limiting block 52 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting frame 51. The limiting blocks 52 on both sides of the installation frame 17 slide inside the limiting frame 51, thereby limiting the limiting blocks 52, thereby increasing the stability of the up and down movement of the installation frame 17.
[0029] In one embodiment, specifically: a limiting groove 53 is opened in the middle of both sides of the installation frame 17, and the lower parts of both sides of the sliding block 18 are fixedly connected with the limiting slider 54, and the outer wall of the limiting slider 54 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 53. The limiting slider 54 on both sides of the sliding block 18 slides inside the limiting groove 53, thereby limiting the limiting slider 54, thereby increasing the stability of the movement of the sliding block 18.
[0030] In one embodiment, specifically: the upper surface of the mounting frame 17 is fixedly connected to a limiting seat 55 on a side away from the driving motor 19, and the outer wall of the driving screw 20 is rotatably connected to an inner wall of the limiting seat 55 on a side away from the driving motor 19. By rotating the outer wall of the driving screw 20 on a side away from the driving motor 19 inside the limiting seat 55, the driving screw 20 is limited, thereby increasing the stability of the rotation of the driving screw 20.
[0031] In one embodiment, specifically: a support column 56 is welded to one end of the lower surface of the two connecting columns 13 that is away from each other, a support plate 57 is welded to the bottom of the support column 56, and a plurality of mounting holes 58 are provided on the outer side of the upper surface of the support plate 57. The support of the connecting columns 13 by the support columns 56 and the support plates 57 increases the firmness of the connecting columns 13. The plurality of mounting holes 58 provided on the support plates 57 facilitates the use of expansion bolts to fix the support plates 57 to the ground, thereby further increasing the firmness of the connecting columns 13.
[0032] Embodiment 2 This embodiment provides a working process of a circuit board electroplating device, which is as follows: Two operators work simultaneously on both sides of the operating table 38. First, they neatly arrange cathode fixtures 27 of various types for easy observation and selection. When facing the circuit board to be electroplated, they carefully check its size specifications, measure the length, width and thickness, and accurately record the key parameters. At the same time, they pay attention to the layout of the area to be electroplated on the circuit board, such as the pin distribution, the direction of special lines, etc. Based on these detailed information, they select the most suitable one from the many cathode fixtures 27. After getting the selected cathode fixture 27, the operator fixes the circuit board with the cathode fixture 27, and then pulls the button 37. At this time, the pin rod 32 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 35 driven by the button 37 and moves away from the adjusting rod 24. The connecting block 26 on the cathode fixture 27 is inserted into the bottom jack 25 of the adjusting rod 24. The button 37 is released, and the spring 35 rebounds, pushing the pin rod 32 to accurately insert into the pin hole 36 on the connecting block 26. , thereby limiting and fixing the cathode fixture 27 that firmly clamps the circuit board; after completing the installation of the cathode fixture 27, the operator presses the start button of the synchronous electric cylinder 15 on the operation panel on the operating table 38, and the start signal is immediately transmitted to the controller 28. The control program built into the controller 28 quickly processes the signal and sends precise instructions to the two synchronous electric cylinders 15 to drive their telescopic rods to extend synchronously. As the telescopic rods extend, the connecting seat 16 begins to rise steadily. The connecting seat 16 is rigidly connected to the mounting frame 17, and the sliding block 18, the mounting plate 22 and the cathode fixture 27 fixed under the mounting frame 17 move upward as a whole. During the rising process, the limit blocks 52 in the middle of both sides of the mounting frame 17 slide smoothly along the inner wall of the limit frame 51 welded on the top of the connecting column 13. The inner wall of the limit frame 51 has been precisely processed with extremely low roughness, which provides precise guidance for the lifting and lowering of the mounting frame 17 and effectively prevents shaking. The synchronous electric cylinder 15 continues to operate until the cathode fixture 27 and the circuit board rise to a suitable height estimated above the electroplating tank 12. This height is a rough range preset based on previous experience in electroplating similar circuit boards, in preparation for subsequent fine adjustments. When the cathode fixture 27 reaches the initial suitable height, the operator then starts the drive motor 19, which drives the drive screw 20 to rotate. Since the drive screw 20 and the threaded hole 21 on the upper front surface of the sliding block 18 form a precise spiral transmission structure, during the rotation process, according to the principle of thread transmission, the sliding block 18 is subjected to an axial driving force, and at the same time When the sliding block 18 is moved, the limit sliders 54 fixed at the lower parts of both sides of the sliding block 18 fit tightly in the limit slide grooves 53 opened in the middle parts of both sides of the mounting frame 17. The width tolerance of the limit slide grooves 53 is extremely small, and they cooperate closely with the limit sliders 54 to ensure that the sliding block 18 can only move smoothly along the predetermined horizontal straight line direction. Under the rotation and push of the driving screw 20 and the guiding constraint of the limit sliders 54, the sliding block 18 carries the cathode fixture 27 and the circuit board and accurately translates toward the top of the electroplating tank 12. The translation speed is uniform and stable until it is accurately aligned with the center position of the electroplating tank 12, preparing for the next step of entering the tank for electroplating.After the horizontal positioning is completed, the drive motor 19 stops running, and the synchronous electric cylinder 15 receives the command from the controller 28 again, and its telescopic rod begins to retract. During the retraction process, the mounting frame 17, the sliding block 18, the mounting plate 22 and the cathode fixture 27 as a whole slowly descend in the vertical direction. The descending rate is optimized to ensure efficiency and prevent the electroplating liquid from splashing due to excessive descent. Finally, the cathode fixture 27 and the circuit board are completely immersed in the pre-prepared electroplating liquid in the electroplating tank 12. At this time, the electroplating tank 12 is powered on, and the current flows from the cathode fixture 27 to the circuit board. 7 flows into the plating solution, triggering a series of electrochemical reactions. The metal ions move in a directional manner under the action of the electric field and gradually deposit evenly in the area to be plated on the circuit board, starting the plating process of a predetermined duration. During the plating period, the liquid level sensor 49 continuously monitors the liquid level of the plating solution in the plating tank 12. Once it detects that the liquid level is lower than the preset lower limit, it immediately sends a low liquid level signal to the controller 28. After receiving the low liquid level signal, the controller 28 responds quickly and starts the infusion pump 43 to extract the plating solution in the liquid storage tank 41 through the liquid outlet pipe 42. The extracted plating solution first enters the The filter 45 is filled with a high-precision filter medium, such as a microporous ceramic filter element, activated carbon fiber, etc., which can effectively intercept tiny impurity particles and suspended solids in the electroplating solution to ensure the purity of the electroplating solution. The filtered electroplating solution flows along the infusion tube 46 and is finally sprayed evenly into the electroplating tank 12 through the multiple liquid outlet holes 48 on the annular tube 47 to replenish the electroplating solution, maintain the stability of the electroplating solution level, and ensure that the electroplating process continues to proceed stably. At the same time, the excess electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 12 will pass through the front and rear surfaces of the electroplating tank 12. The connected overflow pipe 50 flows back to the liquid storage tank 41 by gravity, forming a circulation loop of the plating liquid to maintain the dynamic balance of the components of the plating liquid; after the preset plating time is over, the telescopic rod of the synchronous electric cylinder 15 extends, driving the cathode fixture 27 and the electroplated circuit board to slowly rise from the plating tank 12. After completely leaving the plating tank 12, the drive motor 19 drives the screw 20 to rotate, driving the sliding block 18 to move horizontally toward the cleaning tank 39, and accurately moving the cathode fixture 27 and the circuit board to a specific position above the cleaning tank 39 to prepare for the cleaning operation;After the synchronous electric cylinder 15 receives the new command from the controller 28, the telescopic rod retracts, and the cathode fixture 27 holding the circuit board descends at a stable and slow speed until it is completely immersed in the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 39. At this time, the ultrasonic generator built into the cleaning tank 39 is immediately started, which converts electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibrations. The frequency is usually set between 20-100kHz. These high-frequency vibrations generate countless tiny cavitation bubbles in the cleaning liquid. At the moment of formation, growth, and collapse, the cavitation bubbles will release a strong impact force, which acts on the surface of the circuit board and removes the plating liquid, metal particles, impurities and other pollutants left after electroplating. The ultrasonic cleaning time is precisely set in advance in the controller 28 according to the complexity and pollution degree of the circuit board, so as to ensure the best cleaning effect. When the ultrasonic cleaning time is up, the telescopic rod of the synchronous electric cylinder 15 is extended again to steadily lift the cathode fixture 27 and the cleaned circuit board from the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 39. During the lifting process, the excess cleaning liquid flows back to the cleaning tank 39 along the surface of the circuit board and the fixture, so as to minimize the amount of liquid carried out. At the same time as the synchronous electric cylinder 15 rises, the cleaning liquid on both sides of the cleaning tank 39 The drying mechanism 40 is turned on synchronously, and the heating element inside the drying mechanism 40 heats the incoming air to a preset temperature, which is generally set between 40-80°C. The specific temperature depends on the material characteristics of the circuit board. Then, the fan blows out the heated clean air at a high speed, and the hot air blows evenly on the surface of the circuit board to quickly take away moisture and achieve a drying effect. The air flow rate, wind speed and other parameters blown out by the drying mechanism 40 are accurately controlled by the controller 28 to ensure that the drying process is efficient and will not cause damage to the circuit board due to overheating or excessive wind speed. After the drying is completed, the drive motor 19 is activated again to move the circuit board smoothly to the operating table 38, the operator pulls the button 37 to disengage the pin 32 from the connecting block 26, removes the cathode fixture 27, and loosens the cathode fixture 27, carefully removes the electroplated and dried circuit board from the fixture, gently places it in the finished product storage area, and arranges it neatly; the operator then takes a new circuit board to be electroplated from the processing area, repeats each of the above-mentioned fine steps starting from the fixture adaptation, selects the appropriate cathode fixture 27 according to the characteristics of the new circuit board, and then performs a series of operations such as installation, height adjustment, transportation, electroplating, cleaning, and drying in turn, and repeats this cycle to continuously and efficiently complete the electroplating of the circuit board. ;
