[0002] The electroplating process is a method of applying a metal layer to a conductive layer using the principle of electrolysis. Electroplating refers to a surface processing method in which the pre-plated metal in the plating solution is deposited on the surface of the base metal through electrolysis in a salt solution containing the pre-plated metal, with the base metal to be plated as the cathode, to form a coating. The basic process of the electroplating process is: finished product pickling - water washing - adding auxiliary plating solution - drying - hanging plating - cooling - chemical treatment - cleaning - polishing - electroplating is completed.

[0003] Heat is generated during the electroplating process, causing the surface temperature of the workpiece to rise. If this heat is not dissipated in time, it will affect the adhesion and quality of the electroplating layer, and even cause problems such as deformation or cracking of the workpiece. Therefore, the workpiece needs to be cooled after electroplating. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216765113 discloses a utility model patent for an electroplating cooling device.
