Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of manufacturing and application of electronic and electrical component products, and in particular relates to a liquid level control device for preventing a tin-plated layer of a bracket from turning yellow. Background Art
[0002] At present, after the LED bracket is silver-plated, it is cut into 20-bit or 30-bit conjoined sheets and handed over to the lamp bead packaging factory to produce conjoined lamp beads. After the packaging is completed, it is handed over to the electroplating factory to tin the bracket pins and connecting rods to improve the solderability of the lamp beads. The existing problem is that the conjoined lamp beads are transferred from the packaging factory to the electroplating factory, and then transferred back to the packaging factory for pin cutting and testing after tinning. If abnormalities are found, the timeliness is delayed, and the delivery cycle of the lamp beads is long.
[0003] Our company has researched and developed a continuous electroplating process for silver and tin plating on the same production line. All electroplating processes are completed at one time before the bracket is packaged. After the packaging factory completes the packaging of the lamp beads, it directly conducts pin cutting inspection, which saves the tin plating process and shortens the production cycle of the lamp beads. However, a new problem has also emerged. The tin plating layer of the bracket turns yellow and discolored during packaging, resulting in inconsistent appearance color of the lamp bead pins, affecting the quality of the lamp beads.
[0004] Before the LED lamp beads are packaged, the tin water level line around the connecting rod on the bracket is prone to yellowing and discoloration. Through experiments, it was found that the main reason is that the liquid level of the tin plating solution fluctuates. The distance between the tin plating layer water level line of the LED silver-tin integrated bracket and the lamp bead rubber cap is unstable. When the water level line is high, the trace gas generated when packaging the lamp bead rubber cap causes the tin plating layer to turn yellow. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a liquid level control device for preventing the tin-plated layer of the bracket from turning yellow, so as to solve the above-mentioned problem. By adding a tin-plating tank solution water level control device and adjusting the flow rate of the sub-tank supplying the medicine, the fluctuation of the water level of the tin-plating solution can be finally controlled, so as to prevent the water level line from being too close to the lower edge of the rubber cap and prevent the pin line from turning yellow when encapsulating the lamp beads.
