Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nickel plating, in particular to a nickel plating device. Background Art

[0002] The method of plating a layer of nickel on metals or certain non-metals by electrolysis or chemical methods is called nickel plating. Nickel plating is divided into electroplating and chemical nickel plating. Electroplating nickel is in an electrolyte composed of nickel salt (called main salt), conductive salt, pH buffer, and wetting agent. The anode is nickel metal and the cathode is the plated object. A direct current is passed through the electrolyte to deposit a uniform and dense nickel coating on the cathode (plate). Bright nickel is obtained from the plating solution with brightener, while dark nickel is obtained from the electrolyte without brightener. Chemical nickel plating is also called electroless nickel plating, or self-catalytic nickel plating. It refers to Under certain conditions, nickel ions in an aqueous solution are reduced by a reducing agent and precipitated onto the surface of a solid substrate. After nickel plating is completed, a strong nickel layer can be formed on the surface of the workpiece, which can significantly improve the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of the material, extend its service life, and also improve the electromagnetic shielding capability and electronic conductivity of the material, which helps to improve equipment performance and service life. Its surface is bright and wear-resistant and will hardly fade, which can reduce the need for surface treatment after mechanical treatment, and can also significantly improve the wear resistance and hardness of the material and reduce mechanical damage. Therefore, a nickel plating device is needed.

[0003] When operators are performing nickel plating on workpieces, corresponding nickel plating devices are often used. Nickel plating methods can be divided into two methods: electroplating and chemical nickel plating. When performing chemical nickel plating, the workpiece to be nickel-plated needs to be immersed in a solution containing nickel ions, a reducing agent, and other solutions required for chemical nickel plating. Through the reduction action of the reducing agent, the nickel ions are converted into nickel and deposited on the surface of the workpiece. However, when a large number of workpieces are placed in the solution, the solution contacted by their surfaces is uneven, which may lead to poor reduction, and thus may affect the quality of nickel plating. In addition, when the workpiece is nickel-plated, the workpiece needs to be manually clamped and placed in the solution, and then taken out after the nickel plating is completed. This operation method increases the labor intensity of the operator, and thus may reduce the efficiency of nickel plating on the workpiece. Summary of the invention
