Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of calendered copper foil production, and more specifically to a chromium plating device for the outer surface of calendered copper foil. Background Technique

[0002] Calendered copper foil is a product formed by repeatedly rolling and annealing high-precision copper strips (usually with a thickness less than 150 microns) using the principle of plastic processing (usually with a thickness between 4 - 100 microns and a width usually < 800 mm). Its ductility, bending resistance, conductivity, etc. are all superior to electroplated copper foil, and the copper purity is also higher than that of electroplated copper foil. Copper foil is an indispensable main raw material for manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCBs), (CCLs), and lithium-ion batteries. Since calendered copper foil will come into contact with air during storage, transportation, and processing, it is prone to oxidation, affecting its appearance and performance. Therefore, chromium plating treatment needs to be carried out on the surface of calendered copper foil to enhance its physical properties.

[0003] Deficiencies of the prior art: Before chromium plating treatment of calendered copper foil in the prior art, there may be impurities such as dust and oil stains on the surface. If not treated, it will cause uneven chromium plating on the surface of calendered copper-aluminum, affecting its chromium plating effect. At the same time, since calendered copper foil needs to be closely attached to the surface of the cathode roller during chromium plating, and the clamping structure in the prior art is not firm enough, it is easy to appear wrinkling or suspension phenomena, resulting in uneven chromium plating on the surface of calendered copper foil. Content of the Utility Model

[0022] The present utility model provides a chromium plating device for the outer surface of rolled copper foil, as Figure 1 - Figure 4 shown, which includes an ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 and an electroplating bath 5 fixedly installed on one side thereof. The surface of the rolled copper foil is cleaned by the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. A drying component 6 for drying the rolled copper foil is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. Two clamping components 8 for fixing the rolled copper foil are fixedly connected at equal intervals in the lower part of the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 5. A circulating water pump 9 for controlling the flow of the electroplating solution is fixedly installed on one side of the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 5. By means of the circulating water pump 9, the electroplating solution in the electroplating bath 5 can be kept flowing, enhancing the electroplating effect.

[0023] Further, as Figure 3 shown, the clamping component 8 includes a cathode pressure roller 81 fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 5. Connecting rings 83 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the cathode pressure roller 81. A clamping plate 84 is fixedly connected to one side of the two connecting rings 83.

[0024] Further, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the drying assembly 6 includes a drying box 61 fixedly installed on one side of the top end of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. A number of drying fans 62 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the top end of the drying box 61. A dust-proof net 63 is fixedly connected to the top end of the drying fan 62. A second guide rod 64 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the inner cavity of the drying box 61. After the calendered copper foil is cleaned, it enters the inner cavity of the drying box 61, and is dried by the drying fan 62. A notch 65 is opened on one side of the drying box 61 close to the electroplating bath 5. The notch 65 is located on the upper side of the electroplating bath 5. The notch 65 is connected and communicated with the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 5. After drying, the calendered copper foil enters the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 5 through the notch 65.

[0025] Further, as Figure 4 shown, connecting rods 82 are fixedly connected to the middle parts of the front and rear ends of the cathode roller 81. The cathode roller 81 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 5 through the connecting rods 82. The calendered copper foil is fixed in the electroplating solution by the cathode roller 81 to ensure the chromium plating effect on its surface.

[0026] Further, as Figure 1 shown, a first guide rod 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the top end of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 far from the drying assembly 6. Two first fixing rods 3 and two second fixing rods 4 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the upper and lower parts of the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 respectively. The moving direction of the calendered copper foil is ensured by the first guide rod 2, the first fixing rods 3 and the two second fixing rods 4.

[0027] Further, as Figure 1 shown, two limiting rods 7 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the top end of the electroplating bath 5. A third guide rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the electroplating bath 5. Two power connection ports 11 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to one end of the electroplating bath 5. The positions of the power connection ports 11 correspond to and are connected and communicated with the positions of the connecting rods 82. The surface of the cathode roller 81 is charged through the power connection ports 11, so that the chromium ions in the electroplating solution move towards the cathode under the action of the electric field and are reduced to a chromium metal layer on the surface of the calendered copper foil.

[0028] Working principle of the utility model: First, the prepared rolled copper foil is introduced into the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 through the first guide rod 2. The rolled copper foil is ultrasonically cleaned in the inner cavity of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 by the first fixing rod 3 and the second fixing rod 4. After cleaning, the rolled copper foil enters the inner cavity of the drying box 61 and is wound around the surface of the second guide rod 64. The drying fan 62 is started, and it is dried in the drying box 61 through the drying fan 62 to clean the residual water stains on the surface. After drying, it is introduced into the inner cavity of the electroplating tank 5 through the notch 65 and the third guide rod 10. The stability of the rolled copper foil is increased by the limiting rod 7, and it is fixed in the plating solution in the inner cavity of the electroplating tank 5 by two cathode rollers 81. When the rolled copper foil is wound around the surface of the cathode roller 81, the tightness of the fit between the two is ensured by the mounting clamp plate 84. The cathode roller 81 is connected to the power connection port 11 through the connecting rod 82. The surface of the cathode roller 81 is charged through the power connection port 11, so that the chromium ions in the plating solution move towards the cathode under the action of the electric field and are reduced to a chromium metal layer on the surface of the rolled copper foil, completing the chromium plating operation on the surface of the rolled copper foil.
