[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, at least one embodiment provides an electroplating fixture, which includes: a carrier 1, on which is provided at least one electroplating area 11 for placing a substrate; a plurality of first clamps 2, which are arranged on one side of the carrier 1 and located at the edge of the electroplating area 11, and whose clamping ends extend into the electroplating area 11 to support the substrate; and a plurality of limiting mechanisms 3, which are arranged on the other side of the carrier 1 and are suitable for extending into the electroplating area 11 by rotating the second clamps 31 thereon to press the substrate.

[0028] In some embodiments, the electroplating area 11 is through-through and has no bottom. Optionally, the first clamp 2 is connected to the carrier 1 through a fixing part, and its end extends into the electroplating area 11 to become the bottom of the electroplating area 11 to support the substrate; when the substrate is placed in the electroplating area 11, it is supported by the first clamp 2, and then the second clamp 31 on it is rotated by the limiting mechanism 3 to turn it into the electroplating area 11 to press the substrate, so that the substrate is limited; when the electroplating is completed, it is only necessary to rotate the limiting mechanism 3 to reset the second clamp 31 on it to release the limitation on the substrate; the limiting mechanism 3 set in this scheme is simple to operate, and the substrate can be limited and released by rotation. At the same time, the rotation action is more suitable for operation of automated equipment; wherein, the substrate can be but is not limited to photovoltaic cells.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 3 includes: a connecting column 32 connected to the carrier 1, and optionally, the connecting column 32 is connected to the carrier 1 through a thread; a connecting piece 33, which is passed through the connecting column 32 and has the second clamping jaws 31 at both ends thereof. When the substrate needs to be limited, the connecting piece 33 is suitable for rotating so that the corresponding second clamping jaw 31 thereon extends into the electroplating area 11; an elastic member 34, which is sleeved on the connecting column 32 and is used to apply pressure to the connecting piece 33 so that the second clamping jaw 31 on the connecting piece 33 can press the substrate, and at the same time, When the limit needs to be released, the connecting piece 33 only needs to be lifted upward to compress the elastic member 34. When it is lifted to a certain height, the connecting piece 33 can be rotated to make the second clamping jaw 31 move away from the electroplating area 11; optionally, at least two electroplating areas 11 are provided, and the limiting mechanism 3 is provided between the two electroplating areas 11. At this time, when the connecting piece 33 is rotated, the two second clamping jaws 31 thereon can be driven to be located in the two electroplating areas 11 respectively, thereby achieving the downward pressure on the two substrates; wherein, the elastic member 34 can be but is not limited to a spring or a leaf spring, and the connecting column 32 can be but is not limited to a nut.

[0030] In some embodiments, by applying force to the connecting piece 33 through the elastic member 34 , a certain lifting and lowering space can be provided for the connecting piece 33 , so that the substrates with various thickness specifications can be limited.

[0031] In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 3 also includes: a limiting block 35 connected to the carrier plate 1; the function of the limiting block 35 is to place the connecting piece 33 after turning to prevent the connecting piece 33 from being offset or not turning into place after turning; wherein, the connecting column 32 can pass through the limiting block 35 to be connected to the carrier plate 1, or the connecting column 32 can be directly connected to the limiting block 35.

[0032] In some embodiments, a first limiting opening 351 is formed on the limiting block 35; when the substrate needs to be pressed, the connecting piece 33 is rotated to be located in the first limiting opening 351, that is, the second clamping jaw 31 thereon extends into the electroplating area 11 to press the substrate.

[0033] In some embodiments, the limiting block 35 is further provided with a second limiting opening 352 ; when the limiting of the substrate needs to be released, the connecting piece 33 is rotated to reset it to be located in the second limiting opening 352 , that is, the second clamping jaw 31 thereon is away from the electroplating area 11 .

[0034] In some embodiments, the height of the second limiting opening 352 is higher than that of the first limiting opening 351 , so as to prevent the second clamping jaw 31 from contacting the carrier board 1 when not in use.

[0035] In some embodiments, both ends of the connecting piece 33 are provided with grabbing ears 36, and the function of the lifting ears 36 is to facilitate pulling the connecting piece 33, which can be manual or mechanical. The lifting ears 36 drive the connecting piece 33 to be lifted up and away from the current limit opening and then rotated to another limit opening.

[0036] In some embodiments, the contact point 21 between the first clamping jaw 2 and the second clamping jaw 31 is conductive, and the rest of the contact point 21 is coated with a non-conductive coating.

[0037] In some embodiments, a wiring block 12 for connecting a power source is disposed on the carrier board 1 , ie, the first clamping jaw 2 and the second clamping jaw 31 are powered.

[0038] In some embodiments, a plurality of avoidance holes 13 are provided on the carrier 1, and the function of the avoidance holes 13 is to accommodate the idle second clamping jaws 31 when the limiting mechanism 3 presses the substrate; specifically, because some connecting pieces 33 have the electroplating area 11 only on one side, but when in use, the second clamping jaws 31 at both ends are raised and lowered synchronously, and the second clamping jaws 31 are generally lower than the surface of the carrier 1 when in use, causing the idle second clamping jaws 31 to contact with the carrier 1, therefore, avoidance holes 13 need to be provided for avoidance.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first clamping jaw 2 and the second clamping jaw 31 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the substrate can be clamped more stably.

[0040] To sum up, the electroplating area 11 of the electroplating fixture is through-through and has no bottom. The first clamping jaw 2 extends into the electroplating area 11 to become the bottom of the electroplating area 11, so as to support the substrate; when the substrate is placed in the electroplating area 11, the second clamping jaw 31 thereon is rotated to the electroplating area 11 to press the substrate, so that the substrate is limited; when the electroplating is completed, it is only necessary to rotate the limiting mechanism 3 to reset the second clamping jaw 31 thereon to release the limitation on the substrate; the limiting mechanism 3 set in this scheme is simple to operate, and the substrate can be limited and released by rotating it. At the same time, the rotation action is more suitable for operation of automated equipment.
