Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic component manufacturing technology, and in particular to an electronic component electroplating cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating of electronic components is a process that uses the principle of electrolysis to plate a thin layer of other metals or alloys onto the surface of electronic components. It is a process that uses electrolysis to coat the surface of metal or other material parts with a metal film, thereby preventing metal oxidation. After electroplating is completed, the surface of the parts needs to be cleaned.

[0003] However, most existing methods for cleaning electroplated electronic components involve immersion in a cleaning tank. This method, which cleans the electroplated parts while they are stationary, often results in poor cleaning effectiveness. Furthermore, after cleaning, the components need to be automatically dried before being removed, which is time-consuming and delays subsequent cleaning. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an electronic component electroplating cleaning device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an electronic component electroplating and cleaning device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An electronic component electroplating cleaning device includes a base plate, a cleaning mechanism for cleaning electronic components is provided on the top of the base plate, a drying mechanism for cleaning electronic components is provided above the cleaning mechanism, a placement frame for placing electronic components is provided above the drying mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the placement frame is provided on the top of the placement frame.

[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a fixed frame. A first lead screw is rotatably connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame. A matching lead screw sleeve is provided on the outer wall of the first lead screw, and a slider is fixed on the outer wall of the lead screw sleeve. An L-shaped connecting rod is fixed to both ends of the slider. The bottom of the two L-shaped connecting rods is fixed to the same sealing plate. The bottom four corners of the sealing plate are fixed with first connecting rods. The bottom of the first connecting rods is fixed with the same placement frame. Through holes are opened on all four sides of the bottom of the placement frame. Vertical slots for the L-shaped connecting rods to pass through are opened at both ends of the fixed frame. The through holes allow air to blow into the interior of the placement frame to dry the electronic components.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a second motor is installed on the top of the fixed frame, and the output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the top of the first lead screw.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning tank located on the top of the base plate. The cleaning tank contains cleaning fluid. Multiple ultrasonic generators are installed on one side of the cleaning tank. A drain pipe communicating with the interior is connected to the bottom of the outer wall of one end of the cleaning tank. A valve is installed inside the drain pipe. Rotary rods are rotatably connected to both ends of the inner wall of the cleaning tank. Several stirring blades are fixed to the outer walls of the two rotating rods. Two synchronous wheels are provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tank away from the ultrasonic generators. Matching synchronous belts are provided on the outer walls of the two synchronous wheels. The two synchronous wheels are fixedly connected to one side of the two rotating rods respectively. The stirring blades will stir the cleaning fluid inside the cleaning tank, so that the cleaning fluid can thoroughly clean the electronic components.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a first motor is installed on the other side of the cleaning tank, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to the other end of one of the rotating rods.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, mounting plates are fixed at both ends of the top of the cleaning tank, and a drying mechanism is provided on the top of each of the two mounting plates.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the drying mechanism includes a hot air blower installed at one end of the top of the mounting plate, two hot air blowers connected to air outlet pipes, a collecting hood fixed on the side of the two air outlet pipes that are close to each other, a mounting block fixed on the top of each of the two mounting plates, and through slots for the air outlet pipes to pass through at both ends of the two mounting blocks. The air blown out by the collecting hood will pass through the through hole of the placement frame to dry the electronic components.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the top four corners of the base plate are fixed with fixing rods, the tops of the four fixing rods are fixed with the same top plate, and the bottom of the fixing frame is fixed with the top of the top plate. The top and bottom of the top plate have two holes for the L-shaped connecting rods to pass through.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention utilizes a hot air blower. A second motor drives a first lead screw to rotate, causing a slider to move the L-shaped connecting rods at both ends downwards. The sealing plate then moves the placement frame through the two mounting plates into the cleaning tank for cleaning. After cleaning, the second motor is activated, moving the placement frame between the two air collection hoods. The hot air blower then circulates hot air through the through-holes in the placement frame to dry the internal electronic components. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background technology where cleaning and subsequent removal of the electronic components requires automatic drying, which is time-consuming and delays subsequent cleaning. By combining the cleaning and drying processes, the time required for the electronic components to air dry naturally after cleaning is reduced, thereby improving overall work efficiency. The entire cleaning and drying process can be completed faster, increasing production efficiency and facilitating the handling of electronic components.

[0016] This invention utilizes a stirring blade. A first motor drives a rotating rod to rotate, and through a synchronous pulley and belt, the two rotating rods rotate synchronously. The rotating rods drive the stirring blade to agitate the cleaning solution inside the cleaning tank. Then, an ultrasonic generator is activated, allowing for a more thorough cleaning of electronic components. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background technology, where most cleaning methods involve immersion in a cleaning tank, which often results in poor cleaning effects due to the static state of the electroplated parts. The stirring blade design ensures that the cleaning solution is fully agitated, resulting in more uniform contact between the cleaning solution and the electronic components, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the high-frequency vibration of the ultrasonic waves further removes dirt and impurities from the surface of the electronic components, thus enhancing the thoroughness of the cleaning.
