Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gold plating devices, specifically to a device suitable for continuous gold plating of connector terminals. Background Technology
[0002] Connector terminals are accessories used to achieve electrical connections and are widely used in various electronic devices and systems. The main function of connector terminals is to achieve reliable connections between electrical devices and ensure that current can be smoothly transmitted from one device to another. In the gold plating production process of connector terminals, different products will choose different gold plating methods to achieve the purpose of high production efficiency and low manufacturing cost.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese utility model patent application number "2022209444718" discloses a "device for continuous gold plating of connector terminals," comprising a base with a gold plating device body, a rear cover, a front baffle, and a limiting mechanism on top of it; one side of the gold plating device body is connected to the rear cover, and the other side is detachably and movably connected to the front baffle; a titanium anode mesh is provided between the gold plating device body and the rear cover; the rear cover has a gold plating liquid inlet, and both the gold plating device body and the front baffle have several gold plating liquid outlets. This device allows for product switching through simple adjustments based on the curing process conditions, greatly reducing switching time. However, the applicant found that the adjustment between the front baffle and the gold plating device body is achieved through screws. If the adjustment is not satisfactory at first, the screws on both sides need to be tightened again, making the operation cumbersome. Furthermore, the staggered adjustment of the liquid outlets on the front baffle and the device body results in the front baffle being contaminated with a large amount of gold plating liquid during spraying, and even causing the gold plating liquid to overflow.
[0004] Therefore, a device suitable for continuous gold plating of connector terminals is needed to improve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
