Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic component production, in particular to a novel electroplating roller. Background Art

[0002] The principle of electroplating is that under the action of electricity, the anode loses electrons, and the metal ions that lose electrons diffuse into the plating solution, while the metal ions near the cathode gain electrons and are reduced to metal elements and attached to the surface. The diffusion of the plating solution during the electroplating process includes liquid phase mass transfer, electromigration, convection and diffusion. The exchange of plating solutions inside and outside the traditional electroplating drum is completed by the pores of the mesh, that is, the metal ions outside the drum enter the inside of the drum through the gaps in the mesh. Poor exchange efficiency will lead to the following disadvantages: ① The deposition speed is slow, and the metal ions consumed in the drum are difficult to be replenished in time from the fresh plating solution outside the drum, resulting in reduced electroplating efficiency; ② The tank voltage increases, the power loss increases, and the tank temperature rises faster. In order to achieve the required current density during the production process, a higher voltage needs to be added. At the same time, the increase in tank temperature often means poor electroplating quality; ③ The dispersibility and deep plating ability of the plating solution decrease, and the metal ions in the drum cannot be replenished in time, resulting in increased resistance of the plating solution. Therefore, the current distribution on the cathode surface is uneven, the dispersibility of the plating solution decreases, and the uniformity of the plating layer decreases, which cannot meet the requirements of parts with high-precision requirements for plating thickness; ④ The side reaction intensifies. During the reduction process of the cathode, the metal ions are mainly reduced to metal elements. When the metal ions cannot be replenished in time, hydrogen ions or other impurity metal ions will undergo a reduction reaction, resulting in reduced product plating quality. Although the current electroplating tank can be stirred and circulated to enhance the exchange of the plating solution. However, this method has gradually failed to meet the high requirements for electroplating efficiency and quality. Therefore, a new type of electroplating drum is proposed. Utility Model Content
