Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electroplating, in particular to electroplating equipment. Background Art

[0002] Electroplating is a material surface treatment process that uses the chemical reaction principle of electrolysis to lay a layer of metal on the surface of a conductor. Common types of electroplating include chrome plating, nickel plating, copper plating, zinc plating, etc.

[0003] The principle of electroplating is that under the action of power supply, current flows to the anode, the anode plate continuously loses electrons, and the metal copper ions that lose electrons diffuse into the plating solution (that is, the dissolution process of the anode); driven by the power supply potential, the lost electrons move in the opposite direction of the current and are enriched on the cathode through the DC power supply. The copper ions continuously gain electrons on the cathode and are reduced to a metal coating, that is, a layer of metal is laid on the surface of the conductor.

[0004] The patent document with the authorization announcement number CN217324362U discloses an adjustment and conveying device for a conductive cloth copper plating mechanism, which mainly relates to the field of conductive cloth copper plating. It includes an unwinding drive device, which includes an unwinding motor and upper and lower tightly matched unwinding rollers; the unwinding motor drives the roller shaft of the lower unwinding roller to rotate and then drives the upper unwinding roller to rotate, so that the conductive cloth passing through the gap between the upper and lower unwinding rollers is transported to the next process. The patent controls the running speed of the conductive cloth in the electrolytic cell by setting an unwinding drive device.

[0005] In the above patent document, the semi-finished conductive cloth (substrate) is directly used as one electrode of the electrolytic cell, and copper is used as the other electrode to carry out the electrolysis reaction of copper. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem solved by the utility model is: how to make the substrate directly become one end electrode of the electroplating pool and improve the electroplating efficiency.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a conveying device of a carrier copper foil copper plating mechanism comprises a first group of conveying rollers and a second group of conveying rollers arranged on both sides of the top of the electroplating pool, and a pool bottom conveying roller arranged at the bottom of the electroplating pool, a first conductive conveying roller is arranged in the first group of conveying rollers, a second conductive conveying roller is arranged in the second group of conveying rollers, and the first conductive conveying roller and the second conductive conveying roller are connected to the cathode of a power supply.

[0008] The substrate enters the electroplating tank via the first group of conveying rollers and the tank bottom conveying rollers, and exits the electroplating tank via the tank bottom conveying rollers and the second group of conveying rollers. The substrate is in a parabolic shape in the electroplating tank.

[0009] The first conductive conveying roller and the second conductive conveying roller of the utility model are electrically connected to the cathode of the power supply, and further, the substrate is electrically connected to the cathode of the power supply by contacting with the conductive conveying roller, so that the substrate directly becomes one end electrode of the electroplating cell.

[0010] During electroplating, the anode plate in the electroplating cell continuously loses electrons. The metal copper ions that lose electrons diffuse into the plating solution and, driven by the power supply potential, move toward the cathode substrate direction. They are enriched on the substrate through the DC power supply. The copper ions continuously gain electrons on the substrate and are reduced to a metal coating.

[0011] The first conductive conveying roller and the second conductive conveying roller of the utility model not only have the conveying function and the conducting function, but also have the function of rectifying the current.

[0012] The utility model respectively arranges a first conductive conveying roller and a second conductive conveying roller at the inlet of the electroplating pool and the outlet of the electroplating pool. Compared with a single conductive conveying roller arranged at the inlet of the electroplating pool or the outlet of the electroplating pool, the electroplating speed of the substrate is faster, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0013] Any conductive conveying roller is electrically connected to the cathode of the power supply through the cathode conductive structure. The cathode conductive structure includes an insulating box, a conductive module disposed in the insulating box and connected to the cathode of the power supply, and a clamping structure disposed on the conductive module. The clamping structure clamps the conductive conveying roller and keeps in contact with the conductive conveying roller to achieve current transmission.

[0014] The conductive module is provided with a wiring part, which is an integrated structure with the conductive module, and the wiring part is connected to the cathode of the power supply through a wire.

[0015] As an improvement, the conductive conveying roller is hollow and filled with cooling liquid, and cooling pipe joints are connected to both ends of the conductive conveying roller. The conductive conveying roller is connected to the cooling pipe through the cooling pipe joint, and a heat exchange device is provided on the cooling pipe. Through the heat exchange device, the cooling liquid exchanges heat with the outside, and the temperature of the cooling liquid decreases. Under the action of the water pump, the cooling liquid circulates between the conductive conveying roller and the heat exchange device to cool down the conductive conveying roller that is heated by conduction.

[0037] A cleaning pool 60 is arranged beside the electroplating pool 10, and guide rollers 61 and a third group of conveying rollers 62 are arranged on both sides of the top of the cleaning pool, respectively. The first group of conveying rollers 20, the second group of conveying rollers 30, the guide rollers 61, and the third group of conveying rollers 62 are linked by a first belt. Any conveying roller of the third group of conveying rollers 62 is connected to the first motor 71, and under the drive of the first motor, the first group of conveying rollers 20, the second group of conveying rollers 30, the guide rollers 61, and the third group of conveying rollers 62 are linked.

[0038] A cleaning tank conveying roller 63 is provided in the cleaning tank 60 , and the cleaning tank conveying roller is connected to the second motor 72 . The cleaning tank conveying roller 63 is linked with the tank bottom conveying roller 40 through a second belt.

[0039] The substrate 80 is sequentially conveyed forward by the first group of conveying rollers 20, the bottom conveying rollers 40, the second group of conveying rollers 30, the guide rollers 61, the cleaning tank conveying rollers 63, and the third group of conveying rollers 62, and sequentially passes through the electroplating tank 10 and the cleaning tank 60. The substrate 80 is parabolic in the electroplating tank 10 and the cleaning tank 60.

[0040] Combination Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 8 One conveying roller in the first group of conveying rollers 20 is connected to the cathode of the power supply and is set as the first conductive conveying roller 21 , and one conveying roller in the second group of conveying rollers 30 is connected to the cathode of the power supply and is set as the second conductive conveying roller 31 .

[0041] A cathode conductive structure 22 is provided at one end of any conductive conveying roller, and the cathode conductive structure includes an insulating box 221, a conductive module 222 disposed in the insulating box and connected to the cathode of the power supply, and a clamping structure 223 disposed on the conductive module, and the clamping structure clamps the conductive conveying roller. Among them, the conductive module 222 is provided with a wiring part 224, and the wiring part and the conductive module are an integral structure, and the wiring part is connected to the cathode of the power supply through a wire. The conductive conveying roller of the utility model is electrically connected to the cathode of the power supply through the cathode conductive structure 22, and then, the substrate 80 is electrically connected to the cathode of the power supply through contact with the conductive conveying roller, so that the substrate directly becomes an electrode at one end of the electroplating cell 10.

[0042] Combination Fig. 9 , Fig.10As an improvement, any conductive conveying roller is hollow and filled with cooling liquid, and cooling pipe joints 23 are connected to both ends of the conductive conveying roller. The conductive conveying roller is connected to the cooling pipe through the cooling pipe joint 23, and a heat exchange device is provided on the cooling pipe. Through the heat exchange device, the cooling liquid exchanges heat with the outside, and the temperature of the cooling liquid decreases. Under the action of the water pump, the cooling liquid circulates between the conductive conveying roller and the heat exchange device to cool down the conductive conveying roller that is heated by conduction.

[0043] like Figure 8 Any conductive conveying roller is equipped with a follower roller 25, and the conductive conveying roller and the follower roller clamp the substrate 80 and convey it forward. The conductive conveying roller rotates due to the motor drive, and the clamped substrate 80 causes the follower roller 25 to rotate.

The number of anode plates 50 is a pair, and they are located on both sides of the parabolic substrate in the electroplating tank 10. Anode plates 50 are located in an anode plate carrier frame 51. Anode plate conductive members 52 are arranged above the anode plate carrier frame. The anode plate conductive members are connected to the anode of the power supply to realize electrical connection between the anode plates and the anode of the power supply.

[0045] During electroplating, the anode plate 50 continuously loses electrons, and the metal copper ions that have lost electrons diffuse into the plating solution. Driven by the power supply potential, they move toward the cathode substrate 80 and are enriched on the substrate through the DC power supply. The copper ions continuously gain electrons on the substrate 80 and are reduced to a metal coating.

[0046] As an improvement, Figure 2 A spray system 53 for spraying upward is provided below the anode plate 50, and a bottom pipe 531 of the spray system passes downward through the bottom of the electroplating tank 10 and is connected to a circulation pipe, which is connected to the electroplating tank 10. Driven by a pump, the circulation pipe draws plating solution from the electroplating tank, and the plating solution is sprayed upward by a spray head 532 at the top of the spray system 53, disturbing the plating solution around the anode plate 50, which is beneficial for the rapid precipitation and flow of the metal copper ions on the anode plate.

[0047] After the electroplating is completed, the substrate enters the cleaning tank 60 for cleaning under the conveyance of the guide roller 61 , the cleaning tank conveying roller 63 , and the third group of conveying rollers 62 .
