[0028] In the description of the present application, it needs to be explained that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connecting" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the electroplating equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a hanger 20, a current detector 30, a power supply assembly 40 and a power taking structure 10, and the current detector 30 is installed on the hanger 20. The power taking structure 10 comprises a mounting seat 1 and a power taking assembly 2, the power taking assembly 2 is installed on the mounting seat 1, the mounting seat 1 is installed on the hanger 20, the power taking assembly 2 is electrically connected with the current detector 30, the power taking assembly 2 can take power from the power supply assembly 40 and deliver current to the current detector 30, so that the current detector 30 can detect the current of the hanger 20.

[0030] In the field of vertical continuous electroplating, stable current supply on the hanger 20 is the key to ensure the consistency and uniformity of the plating thickness. During electroplating, the product to be electroplated (such as a circuit board) is fixed on the hanger 20, and the hanger 20 is slidingly installed in an external device (such as a crown rail of vertical continuous electroplating). Please refer to Figure 5The hanger 20 is electrically connected with the cathode (negative terminal 50 of the power supply) through the conductive wire 51 and the current collecting brush, and the external device is electrically connected with the anode (positive terminal of the power supply), so as to realize the electrification of the hanger 20 and complete the electroplating work on the product to be electroplated. According to the size of the hanger 20, the hanger 20 can be electrically connected with the corresponding cathode through different numbers of conductive wires 51 at the corresponding positions, for example, when the hanger 20 is short, it can be electrically connected with one cathode through one conductive wire 51, and when the hanger 20 is long, it can be electrically connected with the corresponding cathode through a plurality of conductive wires 51. Among them, the power supply provides the working current required for electroplating of the hanger 20, and the current (voltage) is large, for example, 220V. When the electroplating equipment is running, the hanger 20 is in contact with the power supply assembly 40. The current collecting assembly 2 takes power from the power supply assembly 40 and delivers the obtained current to the current detector 30. The power supply assembly 40 supplies the current required for the operation of the current detector 30, and the current (voltage) provided is small, for example, 24V. The current collecting assembly 2 is electrically connected with the positive and negative electrodes (or the battery) of the current detector 30 to supply power for the current detector 30. For example, the current detector 30 can be a clamping type current detector 30, which belongs to the existing equipment, and the electrical connection relationship between the current collecting assembly 2 and the current detector 30 is only simple power supply, without involving circuit improvement. The type of the current detector 30 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The current detector 30 is clamped on the wire between the hanger 20 and the current collecting brush, so as to detect the current on the hanger 20. The working principle of the current detector 30 is usually based on the electromagnetic induction principle or the Hall effect principle. When the current passes through the wire, a magnetic field is generated around the wire. The current detector 30 uses a current transformer or a Rogowski coil to sense this magnetic field, and then detects the current in the clamped conductive wire 51. The current detector 30 monitors the conduction state of the hanger 20 in real time by detecting the size, stability and other parameters of the current of the hanger 20. If the current flowing through the hanger 20 is abnormal, such as too large or too small, the current detector 30 will issue an alarm.

[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in an embodiment, the application provides a power taking structure 10, comprising a mounting base 1 and a power taking assembly 2, the power taking assembly 2 is installed on the mounting base 1, the mounting base 1 is suitable for being installed on a hanger 20, the power taking assembly 2 is suitable for being electrically connected with a current detector 30, the power taking assembly 2 can take power from a power supply assembly 40 and deliver current to the current detector 30, so that the current detector 30 can detect the current of the hanger 20; wherein the current detector 30 can detect the current of the hanger 20, the hanger 20 can carry a product to be electroplated, and the power supply assembly can provide the working current required by the current detector 30. At present, the current detector is usually manually held to detect each hanger 20 one by one. Since the electroplating equipment is usually long and the number of hangers 20 is large, manual detection requires a lot of time and has low detection efficiency. The power taking structure 10 of the embodiment is installed on the hanger 20, that is, each power taking structure 10 corresponds to each hanger 20 one by one, the power taking assembly 2 of the power taking structure 10 can continuously take power from the power supply assembly 40 and feed back the current condition to the current detector 30, so that the current detector 30 can monitor the current of the hanger 20 in real time, without the need for manual detection one by one, which greatly shortens the detection time, improves the detection efficiency, and facilitates the staff to comprehensively master the current condition of each hanger 20 in the electroplating process.

[0032] In an embodiment, the power taking structure 10 further comprises a reset assembly 3 connected between the mounting base 1 and the power taking assembly 2, so that the power taking assembly 2 has a tendency to move to a power taking position close to the power supply assembly 40. In the embodiment, the power taking position is the position where the power supply assembly 40 contacts the power transmission line (positive and negative power lines). During the operation of the electroplating equipment, the hanger 20 may be affected by various external forces, such as vibration, movement, etc., which may cause the relative position between the power taking assembly 2 and the power supply assembly 40 to change, or even temporarily separate, thereby affecting the stability of power taking. The reset assembly 3 makes the power taking assembly 2 always have a tendency to move to the power taking position close to the power supply assembly 40, which can automatically adjust the position of the power taking assembly 2 when the relative position between the power taking assembly 2 and the power supply assembly 40 deviates, ensure that the power taking assembly 2 and the power supply assembly 40 maintain good contact, ensure the stable delivery of current, and enable the current detector 30 to continuously and accurately detect the current of the hanger 20.

[0033] In an embodiment, the reset component 3 is an elastic member. In this embodiment, the elastic member has good elastic deformation capability. When the power taking component 2 deviates from the power taking position due to relative displacement between the power taking component 2 and the power supply component 40 caused by external factors (such as vibration of the hanger 20, movement of the equipment, etc.), the elastic member can automatically make the power taking component 2 move towards the power taking position close to the power supply component 40 by virtue of its elastic restoring force, thereby realizing automatic reset. This automatic reset function ensures that the power taking component 2 and the power supply component 40 always maintain close contact, thereby ensuring stable delivery of electric current and enabling the current detector 30 to continuously and accurately detect the electric current of the hanger 20.

[0034] In an embodiment, the power taking component 2 includes positive and negative power taking members 21 and 22 spaced apart from each other, the power supply component includes positive and negative power supply strips 401 and 402, the input end of the positive power taking member 21 is adapted to abut against the positive power supply strip 401, the output end of the positive power taking member 21 can be electrically connected to the positive end of the current detector 30, the input end of the negative power taking member 22 is adapted to abut against the negative power supply strip 402, and the output end of the negative power taking member 22 can be electrically connected to the negative end of the current detector 30.

[0035] The reset component 3 is connected between the positive power taking member 21 and the mounting seat 1, and / or the reset component 3 is connected between the negative power taking member 22 and the mounting seat 1. In this embodiment, the positive and negative power taking members 21 and 22 can stably take electric current from the power supply component 40 and accurately deliver the electric current to the positive and negative ends of the current detector 30, so that the current detector 30 can receive real and stable current signals. This enables the operator to more accurately grasp the current condition of the hanger 20 and timely discover current abnormalities, thereby ensuring plating quality. The positive and negative power taking members 21 and 22 are arranged spaced apart from each other and are respectively responsible for connecting the positive and negative power supply strips 401 and 402, thereby avoiding interference between the positive and negative power supply strips 401 and 402 and ensuring stability and reliability of the power taking process. The reset component 3 is connected between the positive / negative power taking members 21 and 22 and the mounting seat 1, so that both the positive and negative power taking members 21 and 22 have a tendency to move towards the power taking position close to the power supply component 40. During operation of the plating equipment, even if the power taking members are displaced due to external force, the reset component 3 can quickly reset the power taking members, thereby stably obtaining electric current and providing a reliable power source for the current detector 30.

[0036] In an embodiment, the reset assembly 3 comprises a first reset member 31 and a second reset member 32, the first reset member 31 is connected between the positive electrode power taking member 21 and the mounting base 1, and the second reset member 32 is connected between the negative electrode power taking member 22 and the mounting base 1. In this embodiment, the first reset member 31 and the second reset member 32 independently act on the positive electrode power taking member 21 and the negative electrode power taking member 22, respectively. During the operation of the electroplating equipment, when the positive electrode power taking member 21 or the negative electrode power taking member 22 is displaced due to external factors (such as vibration, equipment movement, etc.), the corresponding reset member can accurately reset it. The first reset member 31 ensures that the positive electrode power taking member 21 always maintains good contact with the positive electrode power supply strip 401, and the second reset member 32 ensures that the negative electrode power taking member 22 is stably connected with the negative electrode power supply strip 402, so that the power taking process is more stable and reliable.

[0037] In an embodiment, the positive electrode power taking member 21 is rotationally connected to the mounting base 1 about a first axis, and the negative electrode power taking member 22 is rotationally connected to the mounting base 1 about a second axis. In this embodiment, the first axis and the second axis are center lines defining the degrees of freedom of rotation of the positive electrode power taking member 21 and the negative electrode power taking member 22. Their role is to allow the positive electrode power taking member 21 and the negative electrode power taking member 22 to independently adjust their respective positions and angles during the electroplating process to adapt to the position changes of the hanger 20 caused by external forces (such as vibration, equipment movement, etc.). Among them, the extension direction of the first axis or the extension direction of the second axis is the same as the extension direction of some structure on the mounting base 1, for example, it can be the same as the extension direction of the connecting member 5 on the mounting base 1. In other embodiments, the extension direction of the first axis or the extension direction of the second axis is not the same as the extension direction of a specific structure on the mounting base 1. The positive electrode power taking member 21 and the negative electrode power taking member 22 rotate about their respective corresponding axes, and can independently adjust their respective positions and angles. When the hanger 20 changes position during the electroplating process due to external forces (such as vibration, equipment movement, etc.), the positive electrode power taking member 21 and the negative electrode power taking member 22 can automatically adjust the angle through their respective rotation capabilities, ensuring that the positive and negative electrode wires of the power supply assembly 40 always maintain good contact, thereby improving the stability and reliability of power taking.

[0038] In an embodiment, the first axis coincides with the second axis. In this embodiment, the positive electrode power taking member 21 and the negative electrode power taking member 22 rotate about the same axis, reducing the mechanical structure and space required by independent axes, making the entire power taking assembly 2 more compact. At the same time, the positive electrode power taking member 21 and the negative electrode power taking member 22 rotate about the same axis, making their movements more synchronized, and they can adjust the angle and position at the same time. It ensures that the positive and negative electrode power taking members 22 always maintain consistent adjustment state under the action of the hanger 20 movement or external force.

[0039] In an embodiment, the mounting base 1 is provided with an isolation piece 4 arranged between the positive electrode taking component 21 and the negative electrode taking component 22. In this embodiment, the isolation piece 4 can effectively isolate the positive electrode taking component 21 and the negative electrode taking component 22, preventing short circuit between the two when subjected to mechanical vibration or accidental contact. The safety of the electroplating equipment is improved, avoiding electrical failure or safety accidents caused by short circuit. At the same time, by arranging the isolation piece 4 between the positive and negative electrode taking components 22, the fluctuation of the current caused by interference between the positive and negative electrodes during the taking process can be avoided, which helps to ensure the stable transmission of the current, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the current detection.

[0040] In an embodiment, the mounting base 1 is provided with a connecting piece 5, and the positive electrode taking component 21, the isolation piece 4 and the negative electrode taking component 22 are all connected to the connecting piece 5. In this embodiment, the positive electrode taking component 21 and the negative electrode taking component 22 are connected to the connecting piece 5, and the isolation piece 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 5, and the first axis and the second axis coincide with the extension direction of the connecting piece 5. By integrating the positive electrode taking component 21, the isolation piece 4 and the negative electrode taking component 22 on the same connecting piece 5, the structure of the entire taking component 2 is more compact, reducing the number and complexity of parts, and facilitating installation and maintenance. The isolation piece 4 is fixed to the connecting piece 5, which can effectively isolate the positive electrode taking component 21 and the negative electrode taking component 22, preventing short circuit between the two.

[0041] According to the taking structure 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application, the mounting base 1 of the taking structure 10 is fixed to the hanger 20, and the taking component 2 is electrically connected to the current detector 30. When the electroplating equipment is running, the taking component 2 takes electricity from the power supply component 40 and delivers the obtained current to the current detector 30, and the current detector 30 monitors the conduction state of the hanger 20 in real time by detecting parameters such as the size and stability of the current of the hanger 20. If the current flowing through the hanger 20 is abnormal, such as too large or too small, the current detector 30 will issue an alarm. The taking structure 10 of the present application realizes online real-time detection of the conduction state of the hanger 20, without the need for manual detection of the hangers 20 one by one with the current detector 30, improving the detection efficiency, reducing the labor input, and reducing the labor cost.
