Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an electroplating fixture, in particular to a glass substrate electroplating fixture with soft and hard contact parts arranged alternately and with the soft and hard parts corresponding to each other. Background Art
[0002] Electroplating is a surface treatment process widely used in the manufacturing of electronic components. Its purpose is to coat the plated component with metals such as copper, nickel, and chromium to achieve rust-proofing, wear-resistance, electrical conductivity, and aesthetics. Conventional clamp structures, whether round rod or plate, typically require bending to form elastic portions to achieve the required clamping force. However, this type of clamp increases in cost as the number of clamps required for the electroplating frame increases. Furthermore, the clamping portions formed by bending lack precision and are difficult to increase in production. Furthermore, the flexibility of the clamping state is also insufficient.
[0003] Therefore, how to solve the above problems and deficiencies of the prior art has become a research and development topic that relevant industry players are eager to address. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] After years of research and development, the creators of this project have improved the shortcomings of existing products. The following will detail how this utility model uses a glass substrate electroplating fixture to achieve the most efficient functional requirements.
[0022] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the glass substrate electroplating fixture of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the use of the glass substrate electroplating fixture of the present invention. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of another use of the glass substrate electroplating fixture of the present invention. The present invention provides a glass substrate electroplating fixture 100, which is particularly suitable for clamping a glass substrate GB for electroplating. The fixture 100 has soft and hard contact portions arranged in an alternating manner, with corresponding soft and hard portions. The glass substrate electroplating fixture 100 includes a fixture base 110, a first metal clamp 120, and a second metal clamp 130. The first metal clamp 120 is connected to the fixture base 110. The first metal clamp 120 is made of a metal material, and one side surface of the first metal clamp 120 is a first concave-convex surface 126 with a continuous and staggered arrangement of concave and convex portions. The convex surfaces at even-numbered positions (e.g., 2, 4, 6) are embedded with a first soft contact portion 122 made of an elastic material, and the convex surfaces at odd-numbered positions (e.g., 1, 3, 5) are first hard contact portions 124.
[0023] In addition, a second metal clamp 130 is connected to the clamp base 110. The second metal clamp 130 is made of metal material, and one side surface of the second metal clamp 130 is a second concave-convex plane 136 with concave and convex surfaces continuously and alternately arranged. The convex surfaces at the odd-numbered positions (for example, 1, 3, 5) are embedded with a second soft contact portion 132 with an elastic material, and the convex surfaces at the even-numbered positions (for example, 2, 4, 6) are a second hard contact portion 134.
[0024] It should be noted that during electroplating, the fixture base 110 clamps the glass substrate GB via the first metal clamp 120 and the second metal clamp 130. The first soft contact portion 122, the first hard contact portion 124, the second soft contact portion 132, and the second hard contact portion 134 all contact the glass substrate GB. The first soft contact portion 122 corresponds to the second hard contact portion 134, and the first hard contact portion 124 corresponds to the second soft contact portion 132. For example, the first soft contact portions 122 at positions 2, 4, and 6 correspond to the second hard contact portions 134 at positions 2, 4, and 6. The first hard contact portions 124 at positions 1, 3, and 5 correspond to the second soft contact portions 132 at positions 1, 3, and 5. Furthermore, during electroplating, the first metal clamp is energized, and the second metal clamp is also energized. As described above, the glass substrate electroplating fixture 100, through the first soft contact portion 122 and the second soft contact portion 132, can more flexibly and elastically adapt to variations in surface flatness of the glass substrate GB and is less prone to breakage. In particular, the staggered arrangement of the first soft contact portion 122 and the first hard contact portion 124, and the staggered arrangement of the second soft contact portion 132 and the second hard contact portion 134, and the corresponding soft and hard contact and clamping methods, allow for greater flexibility in adapting to glass substrates GB with varying surface flatness, thereby achieving the desired clamping force.
[0025] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the first soft contact portion has at least one first spring inside, and the second soft contact portion has at least one second spring inside. It should be noted that this is not limited to springs, and any elastic material can be used as a substitute for the spring.
[0026] In summary, the glass substrate electroplating fixture disclosed in the present invention can bring the following benefits:
[0027] 1. Low production cost;
[0028] 2. Achieve more uniform and appropriate clamping elasticity requirements; and
[0029] 3. More suitable for glass substrates with different surface flatness.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications based on the features and spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
