Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electroplating equipment, especially a plate replacement mechanism of electroplating equipment, which replaces the traditional manual replacement mode with an automatic plate replacement mechanism to improve the replacement efficiency and reduce the risk of personnel contacting harmful substances.

BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern printed circuit board (PCB) electroplating processes, two shielding plates are usually added to the electroplating tank and placed on both sides of a cathode plate (i.e., a PCB), such as the shielding plates described in Patent Publication I324641. The main function of the shielding plates is to improve the current distribution and ensure the uniformity of the plating layer. Since the current is often concentrated on the edge of the workpiece during electroplating, it may lead to uneven plating layer thickness or local over-thickness. Therefore, the shielding plates can effectively adjust the current flow direction, reduce the edge effect, and achieve the purpose of uniform plating. In electroplating practice, different shielding plates are used for each type of plated material (PCB). Therefore, when the plated material (PCB) changes, the electroplating tank also needs to be replaced with the corresponding shielding plates.

[0003] The existing shielding plate replacement method is performed manually. The replacement process requires the operator to remove the used shielding plate from the top of the electroplating tank and then place another shielding plate of the same process into the electroplating tank. This operation is not only tedious and time-consuming, but also significantly reduces production efficiency, especially when frequent replacement is required. In addition, the manual replacement process of the shielding plate requires frequent contact with the electroplating solution, which poses potential safety and health risks, such as chemical corrosion or splashing that may harm the operator. At the same time, the electroplating tank is usually accompanied by a high-humidity, high-temperature, and chemical gas environment, making the operation more inconvenient and dangerous. Long-term use may also adversely affect the durability of the shielding plate and the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a plate automatic replacement mechanism to replace the manual replacement process has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0067] The structural features and other functions and purposes of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0068] See Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a plate replacement mechanism for an electroplating equipment. This mechanism is installed on one side of the electroplating equipment and can replace circuit boards (PCBs) and other plates 100 or one or two shielding plates 100' (e.g., ...). Figures 2 to 7 (As shown) A plate changing mechanism for automatically gripping, transporting, and changing plates. A preferred embodiment includes a track assembly 10, a cantilever transport mechanism 20, and a dedicated plate hanger 30, wherein:

[0069] The track assembly 10 is used to extend and be fixedly installed in the horizontal X direction, so that the cantilever conveying mechanism 20 can move and transport circuit boards (PCBs) or shielding plates 100 or 100' on the track assembly 10. The track assembly 10 can be a rack and pinion driven track assembly, a chain driven track assembly, a linear screw assembly or other equivalent tracks. The rack and pinion driven track assembly preferably includes at least one slide rail 11 and a drive rail 12. The slide rail 11 can be a linear slide rail, and the drive rail 12 can be a rack.

[0070] The cantilever transport mechanism 20 includes a base 21, a column 22, a power lifting device 23, a cantilever 24, a hanging bracket gripping mechanism 25, and a fastener drive device 26. The base 21 is mounted on the track assembly 10, for example, by two linear sliders 211 mounted on the slide rail 11 (linear slide rail). The base 21 outputs a first power through a first drive device 27 mounted on the cantilever transport mechanism 20 or the track assembly 10, which causes the base 21 to move along the track assembly 10. For example, the first drive device 27 is a motor 271 and a gear 272 mounted on the base 21. The motor 271 drives the gear 272 to rotate on the rack (drive rail 12), thereby causing the base 21 to move along the slide rail 11.

[0071] The cantilever carrying mechanism 20 has a column 22 fixed at the base 21, and the column 22 extends in the vertical Y direction. A power lifting device 23 is arranged in the column 22 and extends in the Y direction, and is used to drive an active seat 231 to lift. The power lifting device 23 can be one of an electric linear slide rail set, an electric slide table, an air cylinder, or an oil cylinder, which is used to drive the active seat 231 to lift. The electric linear slide rail set can be a lead screw 232, two slide rails 233, or two slide rods and a servo motor 234, which are used to drive the active seat 231 to lift.

[0072] A fixed end of the cantilever 24 of the cantilever carrying mechanism 20 is combined with the active seat 231, so that the active seat 231 drives the cantilever 24 to lift in the Y direction, and a free end of the cantilever 24 extends in the Z direction. The hanger grabbing mechanism 25 is arranged below or on either side of the cantilever 24, and the hanger grabbing mechanism 25 has two sets of mechanical clamps 251, which output a second power through a second driving device 252, and drive the two sets of mechanical clamps 251 to perform an opening and closing grabbing action through the second power, so as to grab the plate-specific hanger 30 (as shown in Figure 3 The second driving device 252 can be one of two air cylinders, two oil cylinders, or a bidirectional electric slide table, which can synchronously drive the two sets of mechanical clamps 251 to move in the Z direction.

[0073] The buckle driving device 26 of the cantilever carrying mechanism 20 is arranged on the cantilever 24, and the buckle driving device 26 has a power output 261, which is used to output a third power to the plate-specific hanger 30, so that the unpowered specific hanger 30 can be used to buckle one or two pieces of shielding plates 100' (as shown in Figures 2 to 7 The cantilever carrying mechanism 20 can move and transport the shielding plates 100' in the Y direction and the X direction.

[0074] Referring to Figure 1 The upper part of the plate-specific hanger 30 is used to be grabbed by the opening and closing grabbing action of the two sets of mechanical clamps 251, and can be carried and moved by the cantilever carrying mechanism 20 in the X direction and the Y direction. The lower part of the plate-specific hanger 30 is used to detachably fix one or more than one plate 100, which can be a circuit board (PCB) plated or a shielding plate 100' as shown, so as to carry the plate 100 or the shielding plate 100' to each plating equipment for replacement or recycling. It should be pointed out that the plate-specific hanger 30 is used to detachably fix the plate 100 or the shielding plate 100', so that the lower part of various plate-specific hangers 30 has different structural embodiments, and can be implemented as different mechanisms such as buckling or hooking according to different plates. Figures 2 to 7 ​

[0075] The plate-specific hanger 30 is placed on a water washing tank 300 (shown in FIG. 1) or other equipment for holding one or two pieces of the shielding plate 100' (shown in FIG. 1). The plate-specific hanger 30 for holding the shielding plate 100' has a preferred embodiment with a hanger 31 and a movable fastener 32. The hanger 31 can be a U-shaped bracket for being held by the opening and closing gripping action of the two sets of mechanical clamps 251, so that the plate-specific hanger 30 is moved by the cantilever carrying mechanism 20 in the X and Y directions to the position where the shielding plate 100' is placed, for example, the cantilever carrying mechanism 20 can hold the plate-specific hanger 30, and then move to the electroplating tank, and then control the movable fastener 32 to hold the shielding plate 100'. The movable fastener 32 can be driven by the third power output 261 to hold the shielding plate 100', so that the cantilever carrying mechanism 20 can move the shielding plate 100' in the X and Y directions, and can be moved to the release position to release the shielding plate 100', and place the shielding plate 100' at the set position. Figure 7 Figure 5 Figure 6

[0076] Figure 2 Figure 3 The two sets of mechanical clamps 251 each have a holding block 253 provided with a first fastening part 254 facing the Z direction. When the two sets of mechanical clamps 251 open and close to grip the holding block 253, the first fastening part 254 can grip the hanger 31 of the plate-specific hanger 30 in the Z direction. In a preferred embodiment, the hanger 31 is provided with two second fastening parts 311 corresponding to the holding block 253 of the two sets of mechanical clamps 251, so that each second fastening part 311 can be held by the first fastening part 254 of the holding block 253. The first fastening part 254 can be a V-shaped groove facing the Z direction, and the second fastening part 311 can be a V-shaped block corresponding to the V-shaped groove. The first fastening part 254 and the second fastening part 311 can also have other structures.

[0077] Figures 1 to 3 ​​​​​​As shown, the aforementioned fastener driving device 26 can be one of a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric cylinder, and is fixed to the upper end, lower end, or either side of the cantilever 24. The power output component 261 can be a primary output shaft of the pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder, or a connecting shaft connected to the primary output shaft. The power output component 261 passes downward through the cantilever 24, so that the lower end of the power output component 261 can output the third power to push the movable fastener 32 of the plate-specific bracket 30, so that the movable fastener 32 can perform the action of fastening and releasing the shielding plate 100'.

[0078] The aforementioned movable fastener 32 is preferably a mechanical linkage mechanism without a power unit, suitable for being placed in an electroplating tank to remove the shielding plate 100' immersed in the electroplating solution. This mechanical linkage mechanism has a force-receiving element 321 that receives the third power (thrust) from the aforementioned power output member 261, and two fastening elements 322 for fastening the shielding plate 100'. When the power output member 261 pushes the force-receiving element 321, the force-receiving element 321 causes the two fastening elements 322 to fasten the shielding plate 100' (e.g., ...). Figures 4 to 6 (As shown). Preferably, the force-receiving element 321 of the mechanical linkage mechanism is a straight rod passing through the bracket 31. The straight rod is provided with a spring 323, and the lower end of the straight rod is pivotally connected to two connecting rods 324. The two fastening elements 322 are two curved rods pivotally connected to the bottom of the bracket 31. The ends of the two connecting rods 324 are pivotally connected to the middle of each curved rod. A V-shaped groove wheel 325 is provided on one or both sides of the two curved rods. Therefore, the force-receiving element 321 drives the two connecting rods 324, and the two connecting rods 324 drive the two fastening elements 322 to open and close, so that the V-shaped groove wheel 325 can be used to fasten or release the cover plate 100'.

[0079] See Figure 7 As shown, the specific installation of this utility model should be on one side of electroplating equipment such as electroplating tank 200 and washing tank 300. When the shielding plate 100' used in the electroplating tank 200 is replaced, the first power output by the first drive device 27 causes the cantilever transport mechanism 20 to move in the X direction above the washing tank 300. Then, the power lifting device 23 lowers the cantilever 24, causing the hanging bracket gripping mechanism 25 below the cantilever 24 to descend to the height corresponding to the special hanging bracket 30 for the plate. Then, the second drive device 252 is controlled to output a second power, which drives the two sets of mechanical grippers 251 to perform an opening and closing gripping action (e.g., Figure 3 As shown), the gripping blocks 253 of the two sets of mechanical grippers 251 can grip the second latch 311 of the plate-specific hanger 30. Then, after the cantilever 24 raises the plate-specific hanger 30 in the Y direction, the cantilever transport mechanism 20 can move the plate-specific hanger 30 above the electroplating tank 200 in the X direction.

[0080] The cantilever 24 of the cantilever carrying mechanism 20 lowers the board-specific hanger 30 in the Y direction into the plating tank 200 until the height corresponding to the shielding plate 100' (as shown in Figure 4 The power output member 261 of the fastener driving device 26 is controlled to output a third power to the movable fastener 32, so that the lower end of the power output member 261 pushes the force receiving element 321 (as shown in Figure 5 The two connecting rods 324 are driven to open the two fastening elements 322, so that the V-shaped groove wheel 325 clamps the shielding plate 100'. Then, the cantilever 24 is raised in the Y direction, and the shielding plate 100' is taken out of the plating tank 200. The cantilever 24 is lowered to place the shielding plate 100' into the washing tank 300. When the power output member 261 of the fastener driving device 26 is reversely retracted, the spring 323 of the movable fastener 32 pushes the force receiving element 321 back, so that the two fastening elements 322 reversely release the shielding plate 100', and the shielding plate 100' is placed in the washing tank 300 for cleaning. Figure 7

[0081] The plate replacement mechanism of the electroplating equipment can be used not only for the replacement operation of the shielding plate 100', but also for the replacement and carrying operation of other boards 100 such as circuit boards (PCB) when the cantilever carrying mechanism 20 clamps another board-specific hanger 30 corresponding to the boards 100. Therefore, the electroplating equipment can realize automatic clamping, carrying and replacement operations of various boards 100 and shielding plates 100', avoids the problems and shortcomings of traditional manual replacement of boards, and improves the production line of the electroplating factory to automatic operation.

It should be noted that any equivalent changes and substitutions of the embodiment should be considered as covered in the scope of the utility model.
