[0002] In order to improve the conductivity of the circuit board and prevent the surface of the circuit board from being oxidized and corroded, the surface of the circuit board needs to be copper-plated during the production process. Common copper plating processes include chemical copper plating and electroplating copper. Whether it is chemical copper plating or electroplating copper plating, the circuit board needs to be immersed in a reaction tank filled with electroplating solution for plating. Therefore, after the circuit board is plated, it needs to be cleaned and dried.

[0003] During the drying process, the cleaning liquid remaining on the surface of the circuit board will drip down and gather at the bottom of the drying equipment. After long-term use, it is easy to pollute the internal environment of the drying equipment. In addition, there will be residual ions in the cleaning liquid. These ions are easy to corrode the drying equipment and shorten the service life of the drying equipment.

[0004] In response to the above problems, we propose a drying device for copper-plated circuit boards. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1-4 , clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a drying device for copper-plated circuit boards includes a drying drum 11, a drying chamber 12 is opened in the drying drum 11, an insulating door 13 is provided on the drying drum 11, and technicians can open the door to load and unload circuit boards. An infrared lamp column 15 is installed on the top of the drying chamber 12, and several infrared lamp panels 16 are installed on the inner curved surface of the drying chamber 12.

[0030] The infrared lamp post 15 is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve 18 on the outside, and the rotating sleeve 18 is made of high-transmittance PMMA material (high-transmittance PMMA can allow infrared rays to pass through, thereby ensuring that the circuit board can be illuminated and dried by the infrared rays emitted by the infrared lamp post 15). A servo motor 27 for driving the rotating sleeve 18 is installed on the drying cylinder 11. Several drying racks 19 are circumferentially distributed on the outer curved surface of the rotating sleeve 18. A splint 20 for fixing the circuit board is provided on the drying rack 19. Several screws 21 are rotatably connected to the splint 20. The screw 21 includes a limiting section 22 and a threaded section 23. The diameter of the limiting section 22 is smaller than that of the threaded section 23. The threaded section 23 is threadedly connected to the drying rack 19, and the limiting section 22 is rotatably connected to the splint 20. The above structure ensures that the screw 21 will not separate from the splint 20 during rotation.

[0031] The process of fixing the circuit board is as follows: the technician rotates the screw 21 to move the clamping plate 20 away from the drying rack 19 and create a gap, and then the technician places the circuit board between the gaps, and then rotates the screw 21 again to move the clamping plate 20 close to the drying rack 19 and clamp the circuit board, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the circuit board. The technician can fix several circuit boards to be dried on each of the drying racks 19 by manually rotating the rotating sleeve 18.

[0032] After all circuit boards are fixed, the technician closes the heat-insulating door 13, and the rotating sleeve 18 drives the circuit boards to rotate. During the rotation, the infrared lamp column 15 and the infrared lamp board 16 evenly and comprehensively dry the surface of the circuit boards.

[0033] The bottom wall of the drying chamber 12 is provided with a liquid feeding slope 14, and a water collecting trough 28 is opened between the lower edge of the liquid feeding slope 14 and the inner curved surface of the drying chamber 12. During the drying process, the washing liquid remaining on the surface of the circuit board slides downward and is collected in the water collecting trough 28 through the liquid feeding slope 14. The lower end of the drying cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to a storage rack 25, and a liquid collecting barrel 24 is placed on the storage rack 25. The bottom wall of the liquid feeding slope 14 is connected with a liquid infusion tube 26 made of flexible material, and the end of the liquid infusion tube 26 extends into the liquid collecting barrel 24. After the washing liquid flows into the liquid feeding slope 14, it is collected into the liquid collecting barrel 24 through the liquid infusion tube 26, thereby achieving the purpose of collecting waste liquid, so that the waste liquid will not accumulate in the drying chamber 12 and pollute the drying environment. When the liquid collecting barrel 24 is full of waste liquid, the technician can remove it for treatment and replace it with a new liquid collecting barrel 24.

[0034] It should also be pointed out that the terms indicated in the present invention, such as: "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
