Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating equipment technology, and specifically to an electroplating equipment for printed circuit boards. Background Technology

[0002] Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the providers of electrical connections for electronic components. The production of PCBs begins with printing circuit patterns onto an insulating substrate, followed by electroplating to create conductors for wiring.

[0003] When using existing electroplating equipment to electroplat printed circuit boards, operators need to use tweezers to pick up the printed circuit board and place it into the electroplating chamber for electroplating. This method can only electroplat one printed circuit board at a time, and the operator needs to remain still during the electroplating process, which increases the difficulty of the operator's work.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an electroplating apparatus for printed circuit boards to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an electroplating device for printed circuit boards, including an electroplating device, an electroplating box in the middle of the electroplating device, a fixed frame fixed to the inner side of the electroplating box, a sliding groove inside the fixed frame, a motor at the right end of the sliding groove, a screw fixed to the left end of the motor, a slider one and a slider two threadedly connected to the screw, a sliding plate connected to the outer side of both slider one and slider two, a lifting rod fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate, a clamping plate at the bottom of the lifting rod, a connecting plate fixed to the rear of the fixed frame, and vertical blocks fixed to the outer side of the connecting plate. Limiting grooves are opened on the side of the two vertical blocks near the fixed plate, and limiting grooves for sliding on the fixed plate are opened on the vertical blocks.

[0006] Preferably, the electroplating box has fixing blocks at its four lower corners, and the fixing blocks have casters at their four lower corners.

[0007] Preferably, a pull ring is provided at the right end of the electroplating box, and a crossbar is provided in the middle of the pull ring.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating column is provided at the front of the electroplating tank, and a tank door is rotatably connected to the right side of the rotating column. A pull block is fixed on the tank door, and a top plate is fixed to the top of the electroplating tank.

[0009] Preferably, an electroplating chamber is provided on the inner bottom of the electroplating box, and a controller is provided on the outer side of the electroplating box. When the motor drives the screw to rotate clockwise, slider one and slider two move relative to each other, facilitating the clamping of the circuit board. When the motor drives the screw to rotate counterclockwise, slider one and slider two move towards each other. Two telescopic rods, two sliding plates, and two clamping plates are provided, arranged symmetrically. Multiple motors, screws, slider one, slider two, sliding plates, connecting plates, fixing plates, vertical blocks, limiting grooves, lifting rods, and clamping plates are provided to improve work efficiency.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. The electroplating device for printed circuit boards eliminates the need for operators to hold tweezers to pick up the printed circuit boards in existing systems. Instead, it incorporates clamping plates to hold the printed circuit boards. This mechanism places the printed circuit board between the clamping plates, and then a motor drives the screw on the fixed frame to rotate clockwise, causing the two clamping plates to move relative to each other and clamp the printed circuit board. This allows the printed circuit board to be quickly clamped without the need for operators to hold tweezers, saving operators' time.

[0012] 2. When the printed circuit board (PCB) needs to be electroplated, the motor drives the screw on the fixed frame to rotate clockwise, causing the two clamping plates to move relative to each other and clamp the PCB. After clamping, the lifting rod moves downward, allowing the clamping plates to carry the PCB into the electroplating chamber for electroplating. This mechanism eliminates the need for operators to keep the PCB stationary, freeing their hands, and can electroplat two PCBs simultaneously. Attached Figure Description

The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figures 1-7This embodiment provides an electroplating apparatus for printed circuit boards, including an electroplating apparatus 1, an electroplating tank 2 disposed in the middle of the electroplating apparatus 1, fixing blocks 3 disposed at the four corners of the lower end of the electroplating tank 2, universal wheels 4 disposed at the four corners of the lower end of the fixing blocks 3, a pull ring 5 disposed at the right end of the electroplating tank 2, a crossbar 6 disposed in the middle of the pull ring 5, a rotating column 7 disposed at the front of the electroplating tank 2, a door 8 rotatably connected to the right side of the rotating column 7, a pull block 9 fixed on the door 8, a top plate 10 fixed at the top of the electroplating tank 2, an electroplating cavity 11 disposed on the inner side of the bottom of the electroplating tank 2, a controller 12 disposed on the outer side of the electroplating tank 2, and a fixing frame 13 fixed on the inner side of the electroplating tank 2. The circuit board is provided with a slide groove 14. A motor 15 is installed at the right end of the slide groove 14, and a screw 16 is fixed to the left end of the motor 15. A slider 17 and a slider 2 18 are threaded onto the screw 16. When the motor 15 drives the screw 16 to rotate clockwise, slider 17 and slider 2 18 move relative to each other, facilitating clamping of the circuit board. When the motor 15 drives the screw 16 to rotate counterclockwise, slider 17 and slider 2 18 move towards each other. Slide plates 19 are connected to the outer sides of both slider 17 and slider 2 18. A lifting rod 24 is fixed to the bottom of the slide plate 19, and a clamping plate 25 is installed at the bottom of the lifting rod 24. The extension rod, slide plate 19, and clamping plate 25 are all part of the circuit board. There are two of each type, arranged symmetrically. A connecting plate 20 is fixed to the rear of the fixed frame 13, and vertical blocks 22 are fixed to the outer side of the connecting plate 20. Each vertical block 22 has a limiting groove 23 on the side closest to the fixed plate 21. When the motor 15 drives the clamping plates 251 and 252 at the bottom of the slider 17 and slider 28 to move, the limiting groove 23 on the vertical block 22 slides on the fixed plate 21, facilitating the limiting of the vertical block 22 and making the movement of the two clamping plates 25 more stable. The components include the motor 15, screw 16, slider 17, slider 28, slide plate 19, connecting plate 20, fixed plate 21, vertical blocks 22, and limiting groove 23. 3. The number of lifting rods 24 and clamping plates 25 is multiple, which facilitates the improvement of work efficiency. When in use, the electroplating device 1 is first moved to the required position by the cooperation of the pull ring 5, the crossbar 6 and the universal wheel 4. When it is necessary to electroplat the printed circuit board, the printed circuit board is first placed between the two clamping plates 25. Then the motor 15 drives the screw 16 on the fixed frame 13 to rotate clockwise, which drives the two clamping plates 25 to move relative to each other and clamp the printed circuit board. After clamping, the lifting rod 24 is started to move downward, so that the clamping plates 25 carry the printed circuit board into the electroplating chamber 11 for electroplating. The operation ends here.

[0024] The electroplating device for printed circuit boards eliminates the need for operators to hold tweezers to pick up the printed circuit boards in existing systems. Instead, it incorporates clamping plates 25 to hold the printed circuit boards. This mechanism places the printed circuit board between the clamping plates 25, and then the motor 15 drives the screw 16 on the fixed frame 13 to rotate clockwise, causing the two clamping plates 25 to move relative to each other and clamp the printed circuit board. This allows the printed circuit board to be quickly clamped without the need for operators to hold tweezers, saving operators' time.

[0025] When the printed circuit board electroplating device needs to electroplat the printed circuit board, the motor 15 drives the screw 16 on the fixed frame 13 to rotate clockwise, which drives the two clamping plates 25 to move relative to each other, causing the clamping plates 25 to clamp the printed circuit board. After clamping, the lifting rod 24 is activated to move downward, so that the clamping plates 25 carry the printed circuit board into the electroplating chamber 11 for electroplating, thereby realizing the electroplating of the printed circuit board. This mechanism does not require the operator to keep the printed circuit board stationary for electroplating, freeing the operator's hands, and can electroplat two printed circuit boards at the same time.

[0026] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
