[0002] During the manufacturing process of printed circuit boards (PCBs), the micro-etching process is crucial for improving the quality and performance of PCBs. Traditional micro-etching liquid treatment methods usually adopt a one-time use method, which not only wastes resources but also increases production costs and the risk of environmental pollution. In recent years, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection and technological advancements, the recycling and regeneration technology of PCB micro-etching liquid has developed rapidly. Currently, there are some mature micro-etching liquid recycling and regeneration systems on the market, which mainly achieve the purification and regeneration of micro-etching liquid through physical filtration, chemical precipitation, electrolytic decontamination and other methods. However, these traditional regeneration systems generally have problems such as low efficiency, high energy consumption, and unstable regeneration liquid quality, which limit their application in actual production.

[0003] Most existing PCB micro-etching fluid recycling and regeneration equipment struggles to effectively remove impurities such as solid particles and dissolved metal ions from the micro-etching fluid. This results in poor quality of the regenerated micro-etching fluid, which in turn affects the etching precision and surface quality of the PCB. Furthermore, due to the lack of effective evaporation and crystallization devices, conventional equipment often fails to efficiently separate and recover valuable metal components, resulting in a waste of resources. Therefore, we propose a PCB micro-etching fluid recycling and regeneration device. Utility Model Content

[0032] A motor mounting bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the main box body 5 , and a stepping motor 18 is fixedly connected to the motor mounting bracket 11 .

[0033] The output shaft of the stepper motor 18 is fixedly connected to a worm gear 19 , and the left side of the hollow rotating shaft 22 is fixedly connected to a worm 20 .

[0034] A gear box 12 is fixedly connected to the left side of the main housing 5 , and a worm wheel 19 and a worm 20 are installed inside the gear box 12 .

[0035] A brush holder 24 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the main box 5 , a brush 23 is fixedly connected to the front side of the brush holder 24 , and the brush 23 is electrically connected to the heating rod 21 .

[0036] A leak-proof sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the main box body 5 . A rubber ring is provided inside the leak-proof sleeve 2 . The leak-proof sleeve 2 is sleeved on the outside of the hollow rotating shaft 22 .

[0037] The bottoms of the first filter drawer 4 and the second filter drawer 7 are both hollow. A first filter net 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first filter drawer 4 , and a second filter net 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second filter drawer 7 .

[0040] Working Principle: By placing the heating rod 21 inside the hollow rotating shaft 22 and in close contact with the evaporation crystallization metal plate 15, the metal plate can be uniformly heated. This design not only improves heating efficiency but also ensures a uniform temperature distribution on the metal plate surface, thereby optimizing the crystallization process.

[0041] In traditional PCB micro-etching solution recycling equipment, the metal ion recovery efficiency is low and the crystallization process is difficult to control, resulting in unstable regeneration solution quality. This utility model improves the metal recovery rate and the quality of the regeneration solution by precisely controlling the heating process.

[0042] The heating rod 21 is located inside the hollow rotating shaft 22 and can directly transfer heat to the evaporated crystallization metal plate 15, thereby avoiding the loss of heat energy and ensuring the uniformity of heating.

[0043] Uniform heating helps the metal ions to be uniformly deposited on the evaporated crystallization metal plate 15, which is beneficial to the formation of high-quality crystals, thereby improving the purity of the recovered metal.

[0044] The cylinder 10 drives the scraper 17 to move along the surface of the evaporated crystallization metal plate 15, which can effectively remove the crystals, avoid the inconvenience of manual cleaning, and improve the degree of automation.

[0045] In traditional equipment, the cleaning of crystals often requires manual intervention, which is not only inefficient but also easily causes damage to the crystals. The present invention realizes automatic cleaning of crystals through mechanical means, improving efficiency and reducing losses.

[0046] By providing the first filter drawer 4 and the second filter drawer 7, each equipped with a filter screen of different mesh sizes, multi-stage filtration of the micro-etching liquid is achieved, effectively removing impurity particles of different sizes.

[0047] Impurity particles in micro-etching fluid can seriously affect the quality of PCBs. This utility ensures the purity of the micro-etching fluid through a two-stage filtration system, improving the accuracy and stability of PCB processing.

[0048] The first filter 14 is used to remove larger particles, and the second filter 16 is used to further remove smaller impurities, thereby ensuring the purity of the regenerated micro-etching liquid.

[0049] Through graded filtration, the impurity content in the micro-etching solution is greatly reduced, and the quality and efficiency of PCB processing are improved.

[0050] Through innovative design, this utility model solves the problems existing in traditional PCB micro-etching liquid recycling and regeneration equipment, improves the quality and efficiency of micro-etching liquid regeneration, and is of great significance for promoting the sustainable development of the PCB industry.
