However, the high requirement for the manufacturing precision of the hanger results in high manufacturing cost. At the same time, the high plate loading precision requirement puts forward higher standards for the technical level of the operators, resulting in high labor cost. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal," "radial," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides an electroplating device. The electroplating device is equipped with multiple hangers 2, which are arranged sequentially along a first direction. Each hanger 2 has a spacing control structure 1 at both ends. Figures 4-7 As shown, the spacing control structure 1 includes multiple magnetic components 11. Each magnetic component 11 includes a fixing sleeve 111 and a magnetic element 112. The fixing sleeve 111 has an accommodating cavity 1111 inside, and the magnetic element 112 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 1111.

[0034] Each magnetic component 11 is adapted to the connected hanger 2, and each magnetic component 11 can be placed in a preset position on the corresponding hanger 2.

[0035] In two adjacent hangers 2, the magnetic component 112 of the magnetic component 11 on one hanger 2 can attract each other to the magnetic component 112 of the magnetic component 11 on the other hanger 2, thereby controlling the distance between the two adjacent hangers 2; for example, controlling the distance between adjacent hangers 2 to be equal. The preset positions are the installation positions of the magnetic components 11. Each hanger 2 has preset positions at both ends, and each preset position has a magnetic component 11 installed. After the magnetic component 11 is installed in the preset position, one end of the fixing sleeve 111 protrudes from the outside of the hanger 2, allowing the magnetic components 11 on two adjacent hangers 2 to connect together. The first direction is... Figure 1 The X direction; or, when the operator is looking directly at the hanger 2, the first direction is the left and right direction.

[0036] In this embodiment, the traditional method of reducing gap error by improving the manufacturing precision of the hanger 2 and the plate mounting precision results in high manufacturing and labor costs. The spacing control structure 1 of this embodiment utilizes the magnetic suction component 11 to control the spacing of the hangers 2, eliminating the need for excessively high precision in the manufacturing and plate mounting processes of the hangers 2. This reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the hangers 2 and the stringent requirements on the operator's technical skills, thereby effectively reducing manufacturing and labor costs. The magnetic suction components 112 on adjacent hangers 2 attract each other, precisely controlling the distance between adjacent hangers 2 and effectively reducing the gap error between adjacent electroplated plates 7. A stable and uniform plate distance ensures a more uniform distribution of electric field lines during electroplating, avoiding uneven plating thickness caused by inconsistent gaps, and significantly improving the uniformity and quality of the entire plate electroplating. The spacing control structure 1 is simple in composition, mainly consisting of the magnetic suction component 11, which includes a fixing sleeve 111 and magnetic suction components 112. During installation, simply connect the fixing sleeve 111 to the preset position on the hanger 2; the operation is simple. Furthermore, in actual production, if it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the hanger 2, it can be done quickly by changing the arrangement of the magnetic suction component 112 or replacing the magnetic suction component 112 with a different magnetic strength, thereby improving production flexibility.

[0037] Please see Figure 6In one embodiment, the magnetic attractor 112 includes a plurality of magnetic units 1121, which are sequentially connected to form the magnetic attractor 112. In this embodiment, the plurality of magnetic units 1121 can be arranged along a first direction or along other directions. For example, the plurality of magnetic units 1121 can be sequentially arranged in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The arrangement of the plurality of magnetic units 1121 allows the magnetic force of the magnetic attractor 112 to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, when a greater magnetic force is required to control the spacing of the hangers 2 to adapt to a more complex electroplating environment or a larger size hanger 2, the number of magnetic units 1121 can be increased; while for some scenarios where the magnetic force requirement is not high, the number of magnetic units 1121 can be appropriately reduced, thereby precisely controlling the attraction between adjacent hangers 2, ensuring that the spacing between the hangers 2 is stable and meets the requirements of the electroplating process.

[0038] In one embodiment, multiple magnetic units 1121 are arranged sequentially along a first direction. In this embodiment, the arrangement direction of the hangers 2 is the first direction, and the arrangement direction of the multiple magnetic units 1121 is the same as the arrangement direction of the hangers 2. This allows for a more precise attraction force to be generated between the hangers 2 along the first direction, making the magnetic force between adjacent hangers 2 more direct and effective, and ensuring more precise control over the spacing between adjacent hangers 2.

[0039] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the magnetic attractor 112 further includes a connector 1122. The magnetic unit 1121 has a connecting hole 11211, which extends through the magnetic unit 1121 along a first direction. The connector 1122 is installed in the connecting hole 11211 of each magnetic unit 1121 to connect multiple magnetic units 1121 sequentially. In this embodiment, by connecting multiple magnetic units 1121 sequentially through the connecting hole 11211 of the magnetic unit 1121 with the connector 1122, the relative positions of the magnetic units 1121 are fixed, preventing displacement or detachment of the magnetic units 1121 due to vibration, collision, or other factors during use. This greatly enhances the overall structural stability of the magnetic attractor 112, ensuring that the magnetic attractor 112 can consistently and stably control the spacing of the hangers 2 during the operation of the electroplating equipment.

[0040] In one embodiment, the number of magnetic units 1121 is 1 to 7. In this embodiment, the number of magnetic units 1121 can be selected from 1 to 7, allowing the magnetic component 11 to be flexibly configured according to different electroplating requirements and working conditions. For some simple electroplating scenarios where the magnetic attraction requirement is not high, a smaller number of magnetic units 1121, such as 1 or 2, can be selected to meet the basic magnetic attraction control requirements for the spacing of the hangers 2; while for complex and demanding electroplating environments, or situations where the hangers are large in size and heavy in weight, the number of magnetic units 1121 can be increased to 5, 6 or even 7 to provide sufficient magnetic force to ensure the stability of the spacing of the hangers 2. Preferably, the number of magnetic units 1121 is 3. In most common electroplating scenarios, the magnetic force generated by the magnetic attractor 112 composed of 3 magnetic units 1121 can usually control the spacing of the hangers 2 just right. This ensures that there is enough attraction between adjacent hangers 2 to keep the spacing of the hangers 2 stable, and also prevents problems such as difficulty in separating the hangers 2 or damage to the hangers 2 due to excessive magnetic force. This is suitable for hangers 2 of general size and weight as well as common electroplating process requirements.

[0041] In one embodiment, the accommodating cavity 1111 extends along a first direction, and the magnetic member 112 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other along the first direction. The accommodating cavity 1111 has a third end corresponding to the first end of the magnetic member 112 and a fourth end corresponding to the second end of the magnetic member 112. The outer end face of the first end of the magnetic member 112 is in contact with the inner end face of the third end of the accommodating cavity 1111. In this embodiment, the third end of the accommodating cavity 1111 is the outer end of the accommodating cavity 1111, that is, the third end of the accommodating cavity 1111 is located outside the hanger 2. The outer end face of the first end of the magnetic member 112 is in contact with the inner end face of the third end of the accommodating cavity 1111, so that the magnetic member 112 is located closer to another magnetic member 112 on the adjacent hanger 2, ensuring the magnetic attraction effect. Meanwhile, depending on the number of magnetic components 112, the outer end face of the second end of the magnetic component 112 can contact the inner end face of the fourth end of the accommodating cavity 1111, or they can be spaced apart. This provides flexibility for adjusting the magnetic force of the magnetic component 11, allowing the magnetic components 112 on adjacent hangers 2 to attract each other better in the first direction, accurately control the distance between adjacent hangers 2 in this direction, ensure the stability and consistency of the spacing between hangers 2, thereby improving the uniformity of electric field distribution during electroplating and avoiding uneven plating thickness caused by inconsistent spacing.

[0042] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the magnetic suction assembly 11 further includes a limiting member 113. The outer end face of the second end of the magnetic suction member 112 is spaced apart from the inner end face of the fourth end of the receiving cavity 1111. The limiting member 113 is connected between the second end of the magnetic suction member 11 and the fourth end of the receiving cavity 1111. In this embodiment, the limiting member 113 is an elastic member that can elastically deform along a first direction. In practical applications, the number of magnetic units 1121 may need to be increased or decreased due to adjustments in the electroplating process, changes in the type of hanger 2, or different requirements for magnetic force. The limiting member 113 is an elastic member that can elastically deform along the first direction. Regardless of whether the number of magnetic units 1121 increases or decreases, the elastic member can adaptively adjust the limiting position of the magnetic units 1121 by its own elastic deformation, ensuring that the magnetic suction member 112 remains stably fixed in the receiving cavity 1111, effectively maintaining precise control over the spacing of the hanger 2.

[0043] Please see Figure 7 In one embodiment, the fixing sleeve 111 includes a fixing sleeve body 1113 and a support plate 1112. The fixing sleeve body 1113 is detachably connected to the support plate 1112, and a receiving cavity 1111 is formed between the two. One end of the magnetic suction member 112 is connected to the limiting member 113, and the other end of the magnetic suction member 112 abuts against the fixing sleeve body 1113. The end of the limiting member 113 facing away from the magnetic suction member 112 abuts against the support plate 1112. In this embodiment, the fixing sleeve body 1113 is detachably connected to the support plate 1112, forming an easily operable receiving cavity 1111 structure, which makes it more convenient to install the magnetic suction member 112. The magnetic suction member 112 can be directly placed into the receiving cavity 1111 and connected to the limiting member 113. When the magnetic suction member 112 needs to be repaired or replaced, the connection between the fixing sleeve body 1113 and the support plate 1112 can be easily removed, greatly reducing maintenance difficulty, reducing equipment downtime, and improving production efficiency. One end of the magnetic suction component 112 is connected to the limiting component 113, and the other end abuts against the fixing sleeve body 1113. The end of the limiting component 113 facing away from the magnetic suction component 112 abuts against the support plate 1112. This arrangement allows the magnetic suction component 112 to have stable support within the receiving cavity 1111. During the operation of the electroplating equipment, even when subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, the magnetic suction component 112 can remain in its predetermined position, ensuring stable mutual attraction between it and the magnetic suction components 112 on the adjacent hangers 2, maintaining a stable distance between the hangers 2, and ensuring the stability of the electroplating process and product quality.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the spacing control structure 1 further includes a guide rod 5, which is adapted to the hanger 2. The guide rod 5 reduces friction when the hanger 2 slides on the external device. In this embodiment, if the hanger 2 encounters significant resistance during movement, the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic component 11 may be insufficient to connect two adjacent hangers 2. The guide rod 5 reduces friction when the hanger 2 slides on the external device, ensuring the stability of the connection between two adjacent hangers 2. The guide rod 5 is located at the bottom of the hanger 2 and has rollers. When the hanger 2 slides on the external device, the guide rod 5 directly contacts the external device, converting the sliding friction between the hanger 2 and the external device into rolling friction between the guide rod 5 and the external device, which helps maintain the stability of the hanger 2 during operation. For example, when the hanger 2 runs in the copper tank, stable sliding reduces the shaking and offset of the hanger 2, making the magnetic force between the two hangers 2 more stable, thereby more effectively bringing the two hangers 2 closer together and keeping the gap between the hangers 2 essentially consistent. This is crucial for ensuring the stability of the spacing between adjacent electroplating plates 7 during the electroplating process, and helps to improve the uniformity of electroplating and product quality.

[0045] In one embodiment, the spacing control structure 1 further includes a guide head 3. In two adjacent hangers 2, the guide head 3 is disposed on a fixing sleeve 111 on one of the hangers 2. The guide head 3 guides the fixing sleeve 111 on the other hanger 2, allowing the fixing sleeves 111 on the two hangers 2 to connect with each other. In this embodiment, the design of the guide head 3 ensures that the hangers 2 are quickly and accurately aligned during installation. Guided by the guide head 3, the fixing sleeves 111 can be smoothly connected, avoiding installation errors caused by manual operation, thereby significantly improving the installation accuracy of the hangers 2. Furthermore, when installing multiple hangers 2, the guide head 3 greatly speeds up the installation process.

[0046] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the guide head 3 has a connecting channel 31 inside, which extends through the guide head 3 in a first direction. The guide head 3 is fixedly sleeved on the fixing sleeve 111 of a hanger 2 through the connecting channel 31. The fixing sleeve 111 of another hanger 2 can enter the connecting channel 31, connecting the fixing sleeves 111 on the two hangers 2. In this embodiment, the fixing sleeve 111 of one hanger 2 is fitted into the connecting channel 31 of the guide head 3, and the fixing sleeve 111 of the other hanger 2 then enters the connecting channel 31 to connect with it. This nested connection method enhances the connection stability between the fixing sleeves 111 of the two hangers 2. During the operation of the electroplating equipment, it can effectively resist external interference from electroplating solution flow, equipment vibration, etc., ensuring that the spacing between the hangers 2 remains stable, reducing the adverse effects of changes in the spacing between the hangers 2 on the electroplating quality, and improving the consistency and stability of the electroplated products.

[0047] In one embodiment, the connecting channel 31 includes a guide hole and a docking hole. The guide hole and the docking hole extend in the same direction and are interconnected. The guide head 3 is fixedly sleeved on the fixing sleeve 111 of a hanger 2 through the docking hole. The fixing sleeve 111 of another hanger 2 can enter the docking hole through the guide hole so that the fixing sleeves 111 of the two hangers 2 are connected to each other.

[0048] Along the first direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide hole is larger than that of the docking hole, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide hole gradually increases from one end near the docking hole to the other. In this embodiment, the design of the guide hole and the docking hole provides a more precise guiding function. The cross-sectional area of ​​the guide hole gradually increases from one end near the docking hole to the other, like a funnel, which can more easily guide the fixing sleeve 111 of the other hanger 2 into the connection channel 31 when the two hangers 2 are connected. This means that even if the two hangers 2 have a certain angular deviation or positional offset when docking, the fixing sleeve 111 can still be smoothly guided to the correct position to achieve connection, greatly improving the convenience and success rate of the hanger 2 connection.

[0049] According to the spacing control structure 1 provided in this embodiment of the present invention, the design of the magnetic suction component 11 enables precise control of the spacing between the hangers 2 without the need for high-precision machining, thereby significantly reducing manufacturing costs. The magnetic suction component 11 allows operators to quickly install and adjust the hangers, simplifying the operation process and reducing the skill requirements for operators, thus reducing labor costs and operation time. Simultaneously, the mutual attraction of the magnetic components 112 ensures that the spacing between adjacent hangers 2 remains consistent, effectively avoiding uneven distribution of electric field lines caused by inconsistent spacing between the hangers 2. This results in a more uniform distribution of electric field lines on the edges of adjacent product boards during electroplating, thereby improving the uniformity and consistency of the electroplated layer and enhancing product quality.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In addition, one embodiment of the present invention provides an electroplating device, including the above-mentioned spacing control structure 1 and multiple hangers 2, the multiple hangers 2 are arranged sequentially along the first direction, and each hanger 2 has a magnetic suction component 11 arranged at a preset position.

[0051] In two adjacent hangers 2, the magnetic component 112 of the magnetic suction assembly 11 on one hanger 2 can attract each other to the magnetic component 112 of the magnetic suction assembly 11 on the other hanger 2, thereby controlling the distance between the two adjacent hangers 2. In this embodiment, the hanger 2 is provided with a clamp 6, which can hold the electroplating plate 7. Traditional methods reduce gap errors by improving the manufacturing precision and plate-mounting precision of the hanger 2, resulting in high manufacturing and labor costs. This embodiment utilizes the spacing control structure 1 and the magnetic suction assembly 11 to control the spacing of the hangers 2, eliminating the need for extremely high manufacturing and plate-mounting precision of the hangers 2, reducing manufacturing difficulty and the technical requirements for operators, and effectively reducing manufacturing and labor costs. Precise spacing control ensures a stable distance between adjacent hangers 2, effectively reducing gap errors between adjacent electroplating plates 7. This results in a uniform distribution of electric field lines during electroplating, avoiding differences in plating thickness caused by uneven gaps, significantly improving the uniformity of electroplating across the entire plate, and thus improving product quality.

[0052] Please see Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 In one embodiment, the electroplating equipment further includes an insulating component 4, which is connected between the fixing sleeve 111 and the hanger 2. In this embodiment, a fixing seat 8 is provided at a preset position, and the insulating component 4 is disposed between the fixing seat 8 and the fixing sleeve 111. Simultaneously, the fixing sleeve 111 is fixed to the fixing seat 8 by screws, wherein an insulating sleeve is provided between the screws and the fixing seat 8. The insulating component 4 and the insulating sleeve effectively prevent conductive interconnection between the two hangers 2, ensuring that the current acts uniformly on the electroplating plate 7 according to the designed path, guaranteeing the uniformity of the plating layer, and improving the quality stability of the electroplated product.

[0053] According to the electroplating equipment provided in this embodiment of the present invention, the spacing control structure 1 can precisely control the distance between adjacent hangers 2, ensuring the uniform distribution of electric field lines during the electroplating process. This effectively avoids the problem of uneven electroplating layer thickness caused by inconsistent spacing of the hangers 2, improving electroplating quality and the overall uniformity of the product. By employing the magnetic suction component 11 in the spacing control structure 1, the reliance on high-precision hangers 2 in traditional methods is effectively avoided. The design of the magnetic suction component 11 not only reduces the manufacturing cost of the hangers 2 but also reduces the additional labor costs caused by high-precision requirements, thereby reducing the overall production cost of the electroplating equipment.
