Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, in particular to an electroplating cleaning tank for PCB plates. Background Art
[0002] The PCB board, also known as the printed circuit board, is a plate-shaped substrate used to support and connect electronic components. PCB board electroplating refers to depositing a metal layer on the surface of the PCB board through an electrochemical reaction method to achieve circuit connection and conduction.
[0003] Among them, the gantry line electroplating process for PCB boards is a process for forming a metal coating on the PCB. This process usually uses gantry electroplating equipment to immerse the PCB board in the electroplating solution and form a metal coating on the surface of the PCB board through the action of an electric current. Since various pollutants may exist on the surface of the PCB board or the board itself may rust, such as dust, oil stains, fingerprints, etc., these pollutants not only affect the electroplating effect but may also have a negative impact on the adhesion and quality of the electroplating layer. Therefore, before electroplating, a cleaning operation is usually required to remove the pollutants so that the electroplating layer can adhere evenly and tightly to the surface of the PCB board. Therefore, in the gantry line electroplating process, the PCB board first undergoes pretreatment, such as cleaning, degreasing, rust removal, etc., to ensure the cleanliness and flatness of the surface of the PCB board. Then, the PCB board is placed on the conveyor belt of the gantry electroplating equipment, and through the spraying device or immersion tank inside the equipment, the surface of the PCB board is evenly covered with a layer of electroplating solution.
[0004] However, as the cleaning process continues, pollutants in the clear water gradually accumulate, including residual chemical substances, particulate dust, and tiny materials that may fall off from the circuit board. The accumulation of these pollutants not only reduces the cleaning effect of the cleaning water but may also have a negative impact on subsequent immersion washing operations, such as causing damage to sensitive components on the circuit board or affecting the uniformity of the electroplating layer. Therefore, in order to maintain the cleaning effect and ensure product quality, frequent water replacement is required. However, this water replacement operation not only increases production costs but also directly discharges wastewater containing particulate impurities into the environment, which is not only a great waste of water resources but may also have a long-term negative impact on the environment. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an electroplating cleaning tank for PCB plates to solve the problems raised in the above background art.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0007] A PCB board electroplating cleaning tank, comprising a cleaning tank body; a partition is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the cleaning tank body, and the cleaning tank body is divided into upper and lower chambers by the partition. The partition is a filter plate. Two flow components are arranged on one side of the cleaning tank body. One of the flow components is used for aerating the water in the water tank. Three flow collecting grooves are arranged at the top of the partition, and the three flow collecting grooves are axially symmetrically distributed. The flow components cooperate with the flow collecting grooves to make the water turn directionally; a stirring component is also arranged in the cleaning tank, and the stirring component is used for making the water churn.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the flow components, the water flow inside the cleaning tank body can flow from the central position to the outside and flow back upward from both sides, so that the PCB boards placed in the cleaning tank body are continuously washed by the water flow. At the same time, the flow components can be used to aerate the water after cleaning to release some of the gases in the water to the outside, thereby reducing the situation that the cleaning effect decreases due to water pollution during the repeated cleaning process.
[0009] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model lies in that: the stirring component includes a rotating rod, the rotating rod is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the cleaning tank body, a motor is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning tank body, one end of the rotating rod extends to the outside of the cleaning tank body and is connected to the output end of the motor through a pulley and a belt, and a plurality of stirring rods are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, by controlling the motor to work, the rotating rod is driven to rotate, and then the stirring rods are flipped to stir the water in the cleaning tank body. On the one hand, it is convenient to release some harmful gases or odor gases dissolved in the water during the subsequent cleaning process.

[0012] With the above technical solution, the piston plate performs piston motion; during the process, in cooperation with the one-way valve, the same effect as that of a piston pump is produced in both piston cylinders, and thus water is continuously pumped from the water suction pipe and discharged to the drain pipe. The water in the cleaning tank body first passes through the sieve basket for filtration, and after filtration, it enters the manifold through the shunt pipe, then enters the piston cylinder through the water suction pipe, and then is discharged to the manifolds on both sides through the drain pipe, so that the water flows downward from the central position and upward from both sides, and the PCB boards placed in the cleaning tank body are continuously rinsed by the water flow.
[0013] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model lies in that: both the rotating rod and the stirring rod are provided as hollow rods, and the inside of the rotating rod communicates with the inside of the stirring rod. A plurality of air outlets are provided on the outer side of the stirring rod. One end of the rotating rod extends to the outside of the cleaning tank body and is fixedly connected with a rotary joint. One end of the air outlet pipe away from the piston cylinder is fixedly connected with one end of the rotary joint away from the rotating rod. The air outlet pipe communicates with the inside of the rotating rod through the rotary joint, and the air inlet pipe communicates with the external environment.
[0014] With the above technical solution, through the operation of another flow component, air is continuously pumped from the external environment and discharged into the cleaning tank body through the rotary joint, the rotating rod and the stirring rod, thereby realizing aeration to further release some dissolved gases to the outside, reducing the influence on subsequent cleaning operations.

One side of the fixed plate is slidably connected with a sliding rod. One end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected with the piston plate. The end of the sliding rod away from the piston plate extends to the other side of the fixed plate and is fixedly connected with a backing plate. The cam contacts the backing plate, and a spring is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod.
[0016] With the above technical solution, during the cleaning process, the cam rotates accordingly, and thus in cooperation with the spring, both backing plates continuously perform reciprocating motion, and drive the piston plate to perform piston motion through the sliding rod.
[0017] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model lies in that: a sieve basket is detachably connected to the inside of the manifold located at the central position.
[0018] With the above technical solution, the water drawn into the manifold at the central position is continuously filtered by the sieve basket, so that impurities gather in the sieve basket for easy cleaning.
[0019] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model lies in that: a filter screen is provided inside the air inlet pipe.
