[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present application provides a local electroplating tool, including a substrate 1, which is used for local electroplating of the part 2 to be electroplated. The shape of the substrate 1 can be set to a square for easy storage and placement, and chamfers are made at the four corners to form a smooth curved surface. The thickness of the substrate 1 is set according to the height at which the part 2 to be electroplated needs to be inserted.

[0020] Positioning keys 3 are arranged at the four corners of the substrate 1 , with the top surfaces of the four positioning keys 3 maintaining the same horizontal position, and the height of the top surface of the positioning keys 3 being greater than or equal to the workpiece 2 to be electroplated;

[0021] A groove is provided at the bottom end of the substrate 1 at a position corresponding to the positioning key 3 . The inner shape of the groove is adapted to the shape of the positioning key 3 , and the groove is used for inserting and placing the positioning key 3 .

[0022] Please continue to refer to Figure 1As shown, the top surface position of the positioning key 3 remains consistent, and the substrates 1 can be stacked by the positioning key 3. The height of the positioning key 3 is higher than the height of the workpiece 2 to be electroplated after it is placed on the substrate 1. The positioning key 3 can be abutted against the grooves set at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1 to form a stack of substrates 1 for easy storage.

[0023] Furthermore, the positioning keys 3 can be used to stably clamp the substrate 1 during the electroplating process. The substrate 1 can be clamped in the electroplating solution by clamping the four positioning keys 3 .

[0024] A plurality of electroplating slots 4 are provided, wherein the electroplating slots 4 are countersunk holes 5 arranged on the substrate 1 , and a processing table 6 is provided inside the countersunk holes 5 , and the processing table 6 is used to place the workpiece 2 to be electroplated.

[0025] The electroplating tanks 4 are arranged in a matrix.

[0026] The depth of the countersunk hole 5 is adapted to the height of the area where the workpiece 2 to be electroplated is placed, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the countersunk hole 5 is adapted to the cross-sectional area of ​​the workpiece 2 to be electroplated.

[0027] The bottom surface of the processing table 6 is connected to the bottom surface of the countersunk hole 5 , and the processing table 6 is used to place and position the workpiece 2 to be electroplated.

[0028] The processing table 6 is a column structure, the workpiece to be electroplated 2 is sleeved on the outside of the column of the processing table 6, and the outside of the workpiece to be electroplated 2 is in contact with the side wall of the countersunk hole 5.

[0029] It is worth noting that there is an annular gap between the processing table 6 and the countersunk hole 5. The area of ​​the part to be electroplated 2 that does not need to be electroplated is placed between the annular gap, and the area that needs to be electroplated is exposed above the substrate 1. By electroplating with the upper surface of the substrate 1, the electroplating of all the parts to be electroplated 2 exposed on the upper surface of the substrate 1 is completed, and the local electroplating of small components can be completed in batches.

The position, shape and number of the through holes are adapted to the position, shape and number of the workpiece 2 to be electroplated that is not inserted into the electroplating slot 4. The protective plate 7 can seal the upper surface of the workpiece 2 to be electroplated exposed above the substrate 1. In the process of local electroplating, if it is not necessary to electroplate the upper surface of the workpiece 2 to be electroplated, the protective plate 7 is installed above the substrate 1, and the exposed structure of the workpiece 2 to be electroplated is inserted into the through holes set on the protective plate 7.
