The tank body includes an inner tank 100 and an outer tank 200, and the height of the outer tank 200 is greater than that of the inner tank 100 to ensure that the liquid in the inner tank 100 will not overflow the tank body. The reaction liquid enters the inner tank 100 from the bottom of the inner tank 100. When the liquid is full, it will overflow from the upper edge of the inner tank 100 to the outer tank 200. The liquid blocking device is arranged on the top of the two side walls in the length direction of the outer tank 200 along the connection and is inclined toward the inner tank 100. Even if a small amount of liquid overflowing from the inner tank 100 splashes upward, it can be blocked by the liquid blocking device to prevent splashing into the adjacent tank body, thereby avoiding cross contamination caused by solution splashing.

[0031] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid blocking device includes a liquid blocking plate 300. Two liquid blocking plates 300 are provided, which are respectively arranged at the top of the two side walls in the length direction of the outer tank 200, and the liquid blocking plates 300 are inclined toward the inner tank 100 along the connection.

[0032] In this embodiment, the liquid blocking device includes a liquid blocking plate 300, wherein preferably, two liquid blocking plates 300 are provided, symmetrically arranged at the top of the two side walls in the length direction of the outer tank 200, and accordingly, the liquid blocking plate 300 is inclined toward the inner tank 100 along the connection between itself and the outer tank 200. The liquid blocking plate 300 arranged as above can effectively block the liquid splashing upward from the inner tank 100, and prevent splashing into the adjacent tank body, thereby avoiding cross contamination caused by solution splashing.

[0033] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a flow-reducing device. The outer walls on both sides of the inner tank 100 are respectively enclosed with the inner walls on both sides of the outer tank 200 to form a receiving space. The flow-reducing device is respectively arranged in the receiving space. One end of the flow-reducing device is connected to the outer wall of the inner tank 100, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the outer tank 200.

[0034] In the present embodiment, the electroplating tank body is divided into an outer tank 200 and an inner tank 100, and the outer walls on both sides of the inner tank 100 are respectively combined with the inner walls on both sides of the outer tank 200 to form a receiving space. Preferably, a slow flow device is arranged in the receiving space formed by the side walls in the length direction of the inner tank 100 and the inner wall of the outer tank 200, and one end of the slow flow device is connected to the outer wall of the inner tank 100, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the outer tank 200, so that the liquid overflowing from the inner tank 100 can be retained at the bottom of the outer tank 200, thereby effectively avoiding splashing.

[0035] Among them, the inner tank 100 in this embodiment is a reaction tank, and a liquid inlet is opened on the lower bottom of the inner tank 100. The liquid enters the inner tank 100 from the liquid inlet. When the liquid is full, it will overflow from the upper edge of the inner tank 100. Therefore, the above-mentioned slow flow device is arranged between the inner tank 100 and the outer tank 200. It can effectively avoid the splashing of the liquid overflowing from the inner tank 100 when falling, and it can effectively guide the liquid overflowing from the inner tank 100 to flow slowly to the bottom of the outer tank 200.

[0036] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slow flow device includes a slow flow plate 400, one end of the slow flow plate 400 is connected to the outer wall of the inner tank 100, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the outer tank 200. The slow flow plate 400 extends from one side of the inner tank 100 to the other side of the outer tank 200 in a stepped manner.

[0037] In this embodiment, the slow flow device includes a slow flow plate 400, and the two ends of the slow flow plate 400 are respectively connected to the outer wall of the inner tank 100 and the inner wall of the outer tank 200. At the same time, preferably, the slow flow plate 400 extends in a stepped manner from one side of the inner tank 100 to the side of the outer tank 200, thereby ensuring that the liquid overflowing from the inner tank 100 can stay at the bottom of the outer tank 200 along the extension direction of the slow flow plate 400, thereby avoiding the liquid overflowing from the inner tank 100 from splashing into the adjacent tank body and causing cross contamination.

[0038] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flow control plate 400 includes a first plate body 401 and a second plate body 402. One end of the first plate body 401 is connected to the outer wall of the inner tank 100, and the other end is connected to one end of the second plate body 402. The end of the second plate body 402 facing away from the first plate body 401 is connected to the inner wall of the outer tank 200.

[0039] In this embodiment, preferably, the slow flow plate 400 includes a first plate body 401 and a second plate body 402. The first plate body 401 and the second plate body 402 are staggered so that the slow flow plate 400 extends in a stepped manner from one side of the inner trough 100 to the side of the outer trough 200, that is, one end of the first plate body 401 is connected to the outer wall of the inner trough 100, and the other end is connected to one end of the second plate body 402, and the end of the second plate body 402 facing away from the first plate body 401 is connected to the inner wall of the outer trough 200, thereby fully ensuring the slow flow effect of the liquid overflowing from the inner trough 100, so that it can flow to the bottom of the outer trough 200 along the path of the first plate body 401 and the second plate body 402.

[0040] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the slow flow plate 400 is further provided with a flat plate 403, which is provided at the connection between the first plate body 401 and the second plate body 402, and the two ends of the flat plate 403 are respectively connected to the first plate body 401 and the second plate body 402.

[0041] In this embodiment, a flat plate 403 is correspondingly provided at the connection between the first plate body 401 and the second plate body 402 as a buffer transition zone, that is, one end of the first plate body 401 away from the inner tank 100 is connected to one end of the flat plate 403, and the other end of the flat plate 403 is connected to one end of the second plate body 402 away from the outer tank 200, so that the liquid overflowing from the inner tank 100 follows the slow flow plate 400 and moves along the first plate body 401, the flat plate 403 and the second plate body 402 in sequence, wherein, optionally, the flat plate 403 is parallel to the bottom walls of the inner tank 100 and the outer tank 200, and under the buffering of the flat plate 403, the liquid can flow to the bottom of the outer tank 200 more smoothly, thereby reducing splashing.

[0043] In this embodiment, the entire upper surface of the first plate body 401 is smooth, so that the liquid overflowing from the inner tank 100 can flow smoothly along the upper surface of the first plate body 401 to the flat plate 403, and finally flow along the second plate body 402 to the bottom of the outer tank 200.

[0044] By setting the upper surface of the first plate body 401 to be smooth, it can be ensured that the liquid will not be retained when flowing, and it is ensured as much as possible that the liquid can flow downward along the first plate body 401 without causing waste.

[0045] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of slow flow holes 404 are disposed on the surface of the second plate 402 .

Part of the liquid flows along the slow-flow holes 404, and part of the liquid flows along the upper surface of the second plate body 402, which can effectively relieve the pressure of the slow-flow plate 400, thereby ensuring the slow-flow effect and reducing construction.

[0047] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of slow flow holes 404 are evenly spaced from top to bottom along the extension direction of the second plate body 402 .

[0048] In this embodiment, preferably, the plurality of slow flow holes 404 are evenly spaced from top to bottom along the extension direction of the second plate body 402. That is, the plurality of slow flow holes 404 are arranged in multiple rows evenly along the extension direction of the second plate body 402, and the number of slow flow holes 404 arranged in each row is not limited here, and can be set according to the actual use of the slow flow plate 400.

[0049] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, Figure 2 As shown, the diameter of each slow flow hole 404 is 5-8 mm.

[0050] In this embodiment, the diameter of the slow flow hole 404 is in the range of 5-8 mm.

[0051] Among them, preferably, the diameter of the slow flow holes 404 is selected to be 6 mm, and the multiple slow flow holes 404 are arranged at intervals on the second plate body 402, and can be set so that the number of odd-numbered rows from top to bottom is one less than the number of even-numbered rows, that is, the first row is provided with n slow flow holes 404, and the second row is provided with n+1 slow flow holes 404. Similarly, the third row is provided with n slow flow holes 404, and the fourth row is provided with n+1 slow flow holes 404, until the bottom of the second plate body 402.

[0052] The slow flow holes 404 arranged as above can make the slow flow plate 400 evenly covered with the slow flow holes 404 , and the slow flow through the slow flow holes 404 can also effectively reduce bubbles in the liquid.

[0053] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
