Description

The electroplating tank contains an electrolyte solution (usually a metal salt solution), the workpiece to be electroplated is connected to the circuit as the cathode, and the metal anode is opposite to it.

The cathode conductive structure is a device for introducing current into the workpiece to be electroplated. Its design and manufacture have a direct impact on the electroplating quality and efficiency. Common cathode conductive structures include hanging tools, jigs, conductive rods, etc., aiming to ensure uniform current distribution and avoid uneven coating thickness caused by uneven current density.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, the present utility model discloses a cathode conductive structure 10 for an electroplating line. The cathode conductive structure 10 for the electroplating line includes an electroplating tank 100 and a cathode conductive structure 200. The cathode conductive structure 200 is disposed on the top of the electroplating tank 100. During barrel plating or rack plating, the cathode conductive structure 200 is used to conduct electricity to the workpiece to complete the electroplating process of the workpiece. Among them, the cathode conductive structure 200 includes a conductive box body 210, a plurality of conductive rods 220 and a plurality of conductive seats 230. The conductive box body 210 is disposed on the top side of the electroplating tank 100. The plurality of conductive rods 220 are respectively disposed at both ends of the conductive box body 210. The plurality of conductive seats 230 are respectively disposed on the end faces at the top of the electroplating tank 100. The plurality of conductive rods 220 are respectively in one-to-one correspondence and cooperation with the plurality of conductive seats 230, so that an external power supply can supply power to the workpiece through the conductive seats 230, the conductive rods 220 and the conductive box body 210, thereby completing the electroplating process. Among them, each conductive seat 230 is provided with a V-shaped mating groove a; correspondingly, each conductive rod 220 is provided with a V-shaped mating surface b, so that when the end of the conductive rod 220 is fitted into the corresponding conductive seat 230, the V-shaped mating surface b is correspondingly connected to the V-shaped mating groove a, thereby effectively strengthening the mating tightness between the conductive rod 220 and the corresponding conductive seat 230, and further improving the conduction stability between the conductive rod 220 and the conductive seat 230; and, compared with the existing electroplating line conductive structure, the conductive rod 220 and the conductive seat 230 of the present utility model are in direct contact for conduction, so that relay parts can be omitted, while improving the conductive effect, it is also more convenient for cleaning and maintenance, and reduces the equipment production and maintenance costs.
[0026] Further, each V-shaped mating groove a is disposed on the top of the conductive seat 230, and the V-shaped mating groove a is recessed by a preset depth from the top surface of the conductive seat 230; correspondingly, each V-shaped mating surface b is disposed on the bottom side of the end of the conductive rod 220; when the end of the conductive rod 220 is inserted into the conductive seat 230, the V-shaped mating surface b is in mating contact with the corresponding V-shaped mating groove a, so that the conductive rod 220 can be stably connected to the corresponding conductive seat 230 under the action of its own weight.
[0027] Further, one end of each conductive rod 220 is connected to the inside of the conductive box body 210, and the other end of the conductive rod 220 extends outward a preset distance away from the conductive box body 210. Specifically, the cathode conductive structure 10 for the electroplating line further includes a plurality of limiting members 300, and the plurality of limiting members 300 are respectively in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of conductive rods 220; one end of each limiting member 300 is connected to the side surface of the conductive box body 210, and the other end of the limiting member 300 is in mating connection with the side surface of the conductive rod 220, thereby effectively restricting the relative rotation between the conductive rod 220 and the conductive box body 210.
[0028] Further, each limiting member 300 is provided with a limiting groove c. The limiting groove c is arranged at one end of the limiting member 300 facing the corresponding conductive rod 220. Moreover, the limiting groove c is correspondingly matched with the side surface of the conductive rod 220. Thus, the limiting member 300 limits the rotation of the conductive rod 220 through the limiting groove c. Specifically, at least one abutting surface d is arranged on each conductive rod 220 corresponding to the limiting groove c. The abutting surface d is arranged on the side surface of the conductive rod 220. Thus, when the limiting member 300 is connected to the conductive rod 220, the abutting surface d is in abutting cooperation with the groove wall of the limiting groove c, so that the limiting member 300 can limit the rotation of the corresponding conductive rod 220, thereby ensuring the stability of the relative position between the conductive rod 220 and the conductive box body 210.
[0029] In this embodiment, the cathode conductive structure 200 includes two conductive rods 220 and two conductive seats 230. The two conductive rods 220 are respectively arranged at both ends of the conductive box body 210. Correspondingly, the two conductive seats 230 are respectively arranged on the top side surfaces at both ends of the electroplating tank 100. When the conductive rod 220 is fitted into the corresponding conductive seat 230, the conductive rod 220 is embedded into the V-shaped mating groove a under the action of its own weight and the pressure of the conductive box body 210, so that the conductive rod 220 can be stably mated with the conductive seat 230.
[0030] In this embodiment, the included angle between the two side walls of each V-shaped mating groove a is set to be less than 45°. In actual application, reducing the setting angle of the V-shaped mating groove a can effectively prevent the conductive rod 220 from slipping out of the conductive seat 230.
[0031] In summary, during the barrel plating or rack plating process of the cathode conductive structure of the electroplating line disclosed by the present utility model, electricity is conducted to the workpiece through the cathode conductive structure to complete the electroplating process of the workpiece. Among them, several conductive rods are respectively and correspondingly mated with several conductive seats one by one, so that an external power supply can supply power to the workpiece through the conductive seat, the conductive rod and the conductive box body, thereby completing the electroplating process. Among them, each conductive seat is provided with a V-shaped mating groove; correspondingly, each conductive rod is provided with a V-shaped mating surface. Thus, when the end of the conductive rod is fitted into the corresponding conductive seat, the V-shaped mating surface is correspondingly connected to the V-shaped mating groove, thereby effectively strengthening the mating tightness between the conductive rod and the corresponding conductive seat, and further improving the conduction stability between the conductive rod and the conductive seat; moreover, compared with the existing electroplating line conductive structure, the conductive rod and the conductive seat of the present utility model are in direct contact for conducting electricity, so that relay parts can be omitted, while improving the conductive effect, it is also more convenient for cleaning and maintenance, and reduces the equipment production and maintenance costs.
