An adjusting wheel 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through-shaft tension sensor 9. A lifting mechanism is provided inside the electroplating tank 1, consisting of a threaded rod 11, a threaded sleeve 12, and a driven wheel. The system consists of 13 components: a threaded rod 11 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the electroplating tank 1 and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting frame 6; a threaded sleeve 12 fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 7, with the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 12 threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 11; and a driven wheel 13 fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 11. These components are used to drive the copper wire to move up and down, facilitating the adjustment of the copper wire's conveying tension. A drive assembly is provided on the top surface of the electroplating tank 1, consisting of a fixed frame 14, a first servo motor 15, a drive wheel 16, and a transmission belt 17. The fixed frame 14 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the electroplating tank 1; the first servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 14; the inner wall of the drive wheel 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 15; and the transmission belt 17 meshes with the inner wall of the drive wheel 16 and the inner wall of the driven wheel 13, driving the lifting mechanism to rotate and facilitating lifting and transmission. A moving adjustment mechanism and a winding assembly are provided on the left side of the electroplating tank 1.

[0022] Specifically, the moving adjustment mechanism consists of a linear motor 18 and a guide ring 19. The linear motor 18 is fixedly connected to the left side of the electroplating tank 1, and the guide ring 19 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the linear motor 18. It is used to drive the copper wire to move longitudinally back and forth, so as to adjust the winding uniformity of the copper wire.

[0023] Specifically, the winding assembly consists of a fixed plate 20, a second servo motor 21, and a winding roller 22. The fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to the left side of the electroplating tank 1, the second servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed plate 20, and the output end of the second servo motor 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 20. The winding roller 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 20, and the output end of the winding roller 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second servo motor 21.

[0024] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.

[0025] In use: First, the bonding copper wire is pulled along the inside of the feed hole 2, above the second auxiliary roller 5, below the first auxiliary roller 4, above the adjusting wheel 10, the inner wall of the discharge trough 3, and the inner wall of the guide ring 19 to the inner wall of the take-up roller 22 for fixation. The second servo motor 21 is started to drive the take-up roller 22 to rotate along the inner wall of the fixed plate 20 to pull and take up the copper wire. When the copper wire passes through the electrolyte inside the electroplating tank 1, nickel plating can be performed on the copper wire. At the same time, the linear motor 18 is started to drive the guide ring 19 and the copper wire to move longitudinally back and forth, so that the take-up position of the copper wire can be adjusted. The tension of the copper wire during movement is adjusted by adjusting the guide ring 19. The tension of the copper wire is transmitted to the through-shaft tension sensor 9 for detection. When the tension of the copper wire changes and needs to be adjusted, the first servo motor 15 is started to drive the drive wheel 16 and the transmission belt 17 to rotate. Through the meshing of the transmission belt 17 with the driven wheel 13, the threaded rod 11 is driven to rotate along the inner wall of the limit frame 6 and the inner wall of the electroplating tank 1. Through the threaded connection between the threaded rod 11 and the threaded sleeve 12, the connecting plate 7 is driven to move up and down along the inner wall of the limit frame 6. The movement of the connecting plate 7 drives the fixed ring 8, the through-shaft tension sensor 9, the adjusting wheel 10 and the copper wire to move up and down, thereby adjusting the conveying tension of the copper wire.

[0026] In summary, this nickel plating device for bonded copper wires draws the bonded copper wires into the winding assembly and fixes them there. The winding assembly is then activated to wind the copper wires, which are then nickel-plated using the electrolyte inside the electroplating tank 1. A moving adjustment mechanism is activated to adjust the winding position of the copper wires. The tension of the moving copper wires is detected by the adjusting wheel 10 and the through-shaft tension sensor 9. The drive assembly is activated to drive the copper wires to move up and down via the lifting mechanism, connecting plate 7, limit frame 6, fixing ring 8, through-shaft tension sensor 9, and adjusting wheel 10. This allows for the adjustment of the conveying tension of the copper wires, achieving the goal of automatically adjusting the conveying tension during nickel plating of the bonded copper wires. This avoids the problem of copper wire deviation and bending caused by tension changes during nickel plating, which greatly reduces the stability of the nickel plating process. This device addresses the problems mentioned in the background art.
