AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional mechanically stirred electroplating tanks can easily lead to uneven electroplating in certain areas when stirring the electroplating solution, which affects the electroplating quality.

Method used

The system combines ultrasonic waves and a bubble generator with a stirring element. A drive motor rotates a rod circumferentially within the tank, using bubbles to propel the electroplating solution and cause it to burst. Combined with the ultrasonic generator, it provides localized micro-oscillation stirring. An electric telescopic rod adjusts the position of the ultrasonic waves and the bubble generator to expand the stirring range.

Benefits of technology

This method achieves uniform stirring of the electroplating solution, thereby improving the electroplating quality.
