Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical plating equipment, in particular to a chemical nickel tank uniform plating aeration device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of electroplating and chemical plating, uniform coating quality is a key element to achieve high-performance metal surface treatment. Chemical nickel plating is a technology that deposits nickel on the surface of workpieces through a chemical reduction reaction. It is widely used in various industries such as automobiles, aviation, electronics and medical devices. Chemical nickel plating has the advantages of good corrosion resistance, high hardness and uniform thickness. Therefore, ensuring the uniformity and quality of the coating is crucial to extend the life of the product and improve its performance.

[0003] In the traditional chemical nickel plating process, uniform distribution of gas is a common challenge. The introduction of gas is usually through simple mechanical stirring or directly delivered to the inside of the liquid tank through a pipe. Although these methods can provide the necessary gas stirring to a certain extent, they often fail to achieve the miniaturization and uniform distribution of bubbles, resulting in inconsistencies in the thickness and surface smoothness of the coating. In addition, inaccurate control of gas flow will also affect the efficiency of the chemical reaction and the quality of the coating.

[0004] In view of the above problems, it is an urgent need in the industry to develop a device that can provide more refined and uniform gas distribution. The ideal solution should be able to generate extremely fine bubbles in the chemical nickel solution to promote a more uniform chemical reaction, while maintaining stability and consistency during the plating process by precisely controlling the gas flow. In addition, considering the heat that may be generated during the chemical reaction, proper cooling of the gas is also an important aspect to ensure the stability of the chemical plating process. Therefore, a new chemical nickel tank uniform plating aeration device that integrates a nano-gas supply device, precise flow regulation and an effective gas cooling system came into being to address the shortcomings of traditional methods.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 A chemical nickel tank uniform plating aeration device comprises a chemical nickel aqueduct 1, a nano gas supply device 2, a gas supply pipeline 3, a flow regulating valve 4, an air guide pipe 5, a cooling device 6, and a blower 7. The chemical nickel aqueduct 1 is a main container structure. A plurality of nano gas supply devices 2 are embedded and connected to the bottom of the chemical nickel aqueduct 1. The nano gas supply devices 2 are used to uniformly release gas into the nickel solution in the form of extremely fine bubbles to promote the uniform progress of the chemical reaction and improve the quality of the plating layer. The nano gas supply devices 2 are uniformly distributed in a rectangular array. A plurality of gas supply pipelines 3 are arranged at the bottom of the chemical nickel aqueduct 1. The gas supply pipelines 3 are respectively connected to the bottom of the nano gas supply devices 2. The gas supply pipelines 3 are used to release gas into the nickel solution in the form of extremely fine bubbles. The gas is transported from an external source to each nano-gas supply device 2. One end of the gas supply pipe 3 is connected to the air guide pipe 5. A flow regulating valve 4 is fixedly connected to the gas supply pipe 3 at one end of the air guide pipe 5. The flow regulating valve 4 is used to accurately control the flow of the gas to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the gas supply during the electroplating process. A cooling device 6 is fixedly connected to the air guide pipe 5. Before the gas enters the gas supply system, the gas is cooled by the cooling device 6 to ensure the stability of the chemical reaction during the treatment process. The other end of the cooling device 6 is connected to the blower 7 to provide the necessary power to push the gas through the entire gas supply system to ensure that the gas can reach all the nano-gas supply devices 2.

[0025] In one embodiment, four corners of the lower end of the chemical nickel aqueduct 1 are respectively fixedly connected with supporting legs 8, and the supporting legs 8 are used to mechanically support the chemical nickel aqueduct 1.

[0026] In one embodiment, the nano-gas supply device 2 includes a gas supply box 101 and a nano-gas permeable plate 102. The gas supply box 101 is embedded and connected to the bottom of the chemical nickel trough 1, and the upper end of the gas supply box 101 is embedded and connected to the nano-gas permeable plate 102. When in use, the gas is transported from the gas supply pipe 3 to the gas supply box 101, and then pressed out through the micropores on the nano-gas permeable plate 102 to form extremely fine bubbles. The tiny bubbles are evenly distributed in the chemical nickel solution, thereby improving the stirring effect of the solution and the uniformity of the chemical reaction, thereby making the coating more uniform and smooth.

[0027] In one embodiment, the cooling device 6 includes a transverse plate 201, a longitudinal plate 202, a cold coil 203, a cover plate 204, and a supercooling box 205. The design of the supercooling box 205 enables it to effectively reduce the temperature of the gas passing through it. One end of the supercooling box 205 is connected to the middle part of the air duct 5 through an air outlet pipe, and the other end of the supercooling box 205 is connected to the blower 7 through an air inlet pipe. The upper end of the supercooling box 205 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 204 by bolts. The cover plate 204 is used to ensure the sealing of the supercooling box 205.

The longitudinal plate 202 and the transverse plate 201 are embedded and fixedly connected with cold coils 203. When in use, the heat in the gas in the supercooling box 205 is absorbed by circulating the coolant in the cold coils 203.

[0028] In one embodiment, the longitudinal plate 202 and the transverse plate 201 are both made of copper or aluminum and connected to the cold coil 203, which can significantly improve the efficiency of the gas cooling process. A higher heat exchange rate means faster cooling speed and lower energy consumption.

[0029] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0030] 1. Introduction and preliminary treatment of gas

[0031] Gas introduction: The gas is first sucked into the system through the blower 7, which provides the power required for the gas flow;

[0032] Gas cooling: The gas before cooling enters the supercooling box 205 through the air inlet pipe. In the supercooling box 205, the copper and aluminum longitudinal plates 202 and the transverse plates 201 can be cooled by the cold coil 203. The cooled longitudinal plates 202 and the transverse plates 201 can absorb the heat in the gas to achieve gas cooling. The cooled gas flows to the air guide pipe 5 through the air outlet pipe.

[0033] 2. Precise control and distribution of gas

[0034] Flow control: When the gas is transmitted from the supercooling box 205 through the air duct 5, the flow rate is precisely controlled by the flow regulating valve 4 installed on the air duct 5, thereby ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the gas supply during the electroplating process;

[0035] Gas distribution: The controlled gas is further transported to each nano gas supply device 2 located at the bottom of the chemical nickel aqueduct 1 through the gas supply pipeline 3;

[0036] 3. Final treatment and use of gas

[0037] Nano-scale dispersion: After reaching the nano-gas supply device 2, the gas is pressed into the gas supply box 101, and then pressed out through the micropores of the nano-gas permeable plate 102 embedded in the upper end of the gas supply box 101. The micropore design of the nano-gas permeable plate 102 allows the gas to be released into the nickel solution in the form of extremely fine bubbles.

[0038] Promotion of chemical reaction: These extremely fine bubbles are evenly distributed in the chemical nickel solution, effectively improving the stirring effect of the solution and promoting the uniform progress of the chemical reaction. The uniform stirring and fine bubble size help to improve the uniformity and smoothness of the coating, thereby improving the quality of the coating.
