[0003] In the preparation of tin-silver alloy plating solutions, various raw materials such as tin salts, silver salts, and other additives need to be precisely proportioned and mixed and dissolved through specific process steps. However, due to impurities in the raw materials, chemical reactions during the dissolution process, and factors such as oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air, insoluble precipitates, oxides, and other impurities may be generated in the plating solution. These impurities not only affect the uniformity and stability of the plating solution but also reduce the quality and performance of the coating. Summary of the Invention

The rotating component drives the first connecting shell to rotate through a drive motor, and the centrifugal force makes the plating solution more evenly distributed around the filter holes, effectively reducing the concentration gradient in the plating solution and improving the uniformity of the plating solution. The rotational motion also helps to prevent the deposition and agglomeration of impurities in the plating solution, further enhancing the stability of the plating solution. The plating solution filtered by this device has removed most of the impurities, making the coating more uniform and dense during the deposition process, thereby improving the hardness, corrosion resistance and solderability of the coating.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A filtration device for preparing a tin-silver alloy plating solution includes a filter tank 1. An inlet 2 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the filter tank 1, and an outlet 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the filter tank 1. The inlet 2 is located above the outlet 3. The filter tank 1 has a first connecting shell 5 and a second connecting shell 6 inside. The bottom of the first connecting shell 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the second connecting shell 6. The inlet 2 is fixedly connected to the first connecting shell 5. The outer surface of the first connecting shell 5 has a plurality of annularly spaced filter holes 7. The lower part of the second connecting shell 6 is conical and located inside the outlet 3. The device also includes:

[0027] A cleaning component, located inside the first connecting housing 5, is used to clean the multiple filter holes 7;

[0028] The rotating component, located inside the first connecting shell 5, is used to drive the first connecting shell 5 to rotate. First, the plating solution enters the first connecting shell 5 inside the filter tank 1 through the feed port 2. The filtered tin-silver alloy plating solution located in the filter tank 1 or the second connecting shell 6 flows out from the discharge port 3.

[0029] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a connecting plate 9, a fixing seat 11, a cleaning plate 12, a cleaning column 13, and connecting rods 14. The connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first connecting shell 5, and the fixing seat 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 9. Multiple annularly distributed connecting rods 14 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixing seat 11. The ends of the multiple connecting rods 14 located in the same vertical and horizontal direction are rotatably connected to cleaning plates 12. The multiple cleaning plates 12 are all arranged in an arc shape and are close to the filter tank 1. Multiple cleaning columns 13 are fixedly connected to the outer surface at equal intervals. The multiple cleaning columns 13 are movably inserted into the multiple filter holes 7, thereby driving the remaining connecting rods 14 to move down and thus opening up the multiple cleaning plates 12. The cleaning plates 12 are arranged in an arc shape. When the cleaning plates 12 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the filter tank 1, the cleaning columns 13 are movably inserted into the filter holes 7. As the cleaning plates 12 come into contact with the inner wall of the first connecting shell 5, the cleaning columns 13 will insert into and pass through the filter holes 7, thereby effectively removing impurities attached to the area around the filter holes 7.

[0030] Furthermore, a push cylinder 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 9. The push cylinder 16 is located inside the fixed base 11 and its output end is movably connected to the fixed base 11. A connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the push cylinder 16. The connecting block 15 is located above the fixed base 11. Multiple connecting rods 14 on the upper side are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting block 15. The PLC controller 17 can start and control the push cylinder 16 according to the preset program and parameters. During the downward movement of the output end of the push cylinder 16, the connecting block 15 is driven to move downward. During the downward movement of the connecting block 15, the multiple connecting rods 14 on the upper side are unfolded.

[0031] Furthermore, the top of the connecting plate 9 is provided with multiple annularly distributed through holes 10, through which the remaining tin-silver alloy plating solution is filtered.

[0032] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a drive motor 4 and a connecting column 8. The connecting column 8 is fixedly connected inside the first connecting shell 5. The drive motor 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the filter tank 1. The output end of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 8. The first connecting shell 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the filter tank 1.

[0033] Furthermore, a PLC controller 17 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the filter tank 1. The drive motor 4 and the push cylinder 16 are all controlled by the PLC controller 17. The entire filtration and cleaning process is intelligently controlled by the PLC controller 17.

[0034] Working Principle: When the operator needs to use the filtration device for preparing tin-silver alloy plating solution, the plating solution first enters the first connecting shell 5 inside the filter tank 1 through the inlet 2. Then, the PLC controller 17 can start and control the drive motor 4 according to the preset program and parameters. The output end of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 8, which is in turn fixedly connected inside the first connecting shell 5. When the drive motor 4 starts, it drives the first connecting shell 5 to rotate on the top inner wall of the filter tank 1 through the connecting column 8. This rotation helps the tin-silver alloy plating solution to be thrown out through the filter holes 7 under the action of centrifugal force. Large impurities remain in the first connecting shell 5, thereby improving the filtration efficiency. The remaining tin-silver alloy plating solution is filtered through the through holes 10 on the connecting plate 9. Finally, the filtered tin-silver alloy plating solution is located in the filter tank 1 or the second connecting shell 6. The liquid flows out from the outlet 3. To keep the filter holes 7 unobstructed, the device is equipped with a cleaning component. When the filter holes 7 need to be cleaned, the PLC controller 17 can start the control of the push cylinder 16 according to the preset program and parameters. During the downward movement of the output end of the push cylinder 16, the connecting block 15 is driven to move downward. During the downward movement of the connecting block 15, the multiple connecting rods 14 on the upper side are unfolded, thereby driving the remaining connecting rods 14 to move downward and thus opening up the multiple cleaning plates 12. The cleaning plates 12 are set in an arc-shaped structure. When the cleaning plates 12 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the filter tank 1, the cleaning column 13 is movably inserted into the filter hole 7. As the cleaning plates 12 come into contact with the inner wall of the first connecting shell 5, the cleaning column 13 will insert and pass through the filter hole 7, thereby effectively removing the impurities attached to the area around the filter hole 7. The entire filtration and cleaning process is intelligently controlled by the PLC controller 17.
