[0040] As Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, an ultrasonic electroplating tank includes: an electroplating tank body 1, a control housing 2, control buttons 3, an ultrasonic generator 4, a transducer 5, a water tank liner 6, a chamber 7, an electric heating tube 8, a water filter tank 9, and a relay 10. The control housing 2 is installed at the bottom of the electroplating tank body 1, and the control buttons 3 are installed on one side of the control housing 2. The ultrasonic generator 4 is disposed inside the control housing 2 and is used for human-machine interaction. The operator can set parameters and monitor the status through the control buttons 3. The ultrasonic generator 4 is electrically connected to the control buttons 3. A set of transducers 5 is provided, and the top of the set of transducers 5 penetrates through the bottom of the electroplating tank body 1. The ultrasonic generator 4 is electrically connected to the transducer 5. The ultrasonic generator 4 generates high-frequency electrical signals to drive the transducer 5 to work. The water tank liner 6 is embedded in the notch of the electroplating tank body 1, and the top of the set of transducers 5 abuts against the bottom of the water tank liner 6. The chamber 7 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank liner 6, and the electric heating tube 8 is installed in the chamber 7. The water tank liner 6 serves as the main body of the electroplating tank, carrying the electroplating solution and the workpiece. The material should be selected as a material with corrosion resistance and good electrical conductivity, such as special plastic or stainless steel, which is suitable for different types of electroplating solutions.

[0041] In this embodiment, the water filter tank 9 is installed on one side of the transducer 5, and the water filter tank 9 is communicated with the bottom of the chamber 7. The relay 10 is electrically connected to the electric heating tube 8. The electric heating tube 8 is used to heat the electroplating solution to maintain a constant working temperature. Electric heating elements with high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance should be selected, which are suitable for rapid heating and precise temperature control. The thermal sensor 12 is electrically connected to the relay 10. The relay 10 is used to automatically control the switch of the electric heating tube 8 to protect the safety of the system. Two copper tubes 11 are provided, and the two copper tubes 11 are installed on the inner walls of both sides of the water tank liner 6. The thermal sensor 12 is installed at the bottom of the water tank liner 6. The electric drive tube 13 penetrates through the notch of the electroplating tank body 1. The filter plate 14 is installed at the notch of the chamber 7. The water pump 15 is installed on one side of the control housing 2.

The thermal sensor 12 will monitor the temperature in real time. The workpiece to be electroplated is suspended on the electric heating tube 8. When the current is transmitted to the electric heating tube 8 and reacts with the copper tube 11 to start the electroplating operation, the ultrasonic generator 4 is started through the control button 3. The ultrasonic generator 4 transmits a high-frequency voltage to the transducer 5, and the transducer 5 converts the high-frequency voltage into high-frequency mechanical vibration. The high-frequency mechanical vibration acts on the water tank liner 6, which can break the bubbles in the solution in the water tank liner 6, effectively reducing the formation of air holes and cracks. If the thermal sensor 12 monitors that the temperature exceeds the appropriate range, the thermal sensor 12 will send an instruction to the relay 10, and the relay 10 will turn off the electric heating tube 8 to ensure that the solution in the electroplating tank will not boil and splash due to excessive temperature without the presence of staff, ensuring the safety of the staff.
