Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper substrate production technology, and more specifically, to a copper plating apparatus for producing thermoelectric separation copper substrates. Background Technology
[0002] Thermoelectric separation copper substrate is a type of copper substrate that improves heat dissipation efficiency and reduces thermal interference by physically isolating the conductive layer and the thermally conductive layer. It has advantages such as high thermal conductivity, efficient heat dissipation, and extended lifespan. In the production process of copper substrate, a thin layer needs to be plated on the surface of the copper substrate using an electroplating device based on the principle of electrolysis. This prevents metal oxidation and improves wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.
[0003] Existing copper plating equipment does not handle the copper substrates meticulously enough during electroplating. For example, placing uncleaned copper substrates directly into the electroplating tank can easily cause contamination, or failing to dry the cleaned copper substrates can lead to water stains. Therefore, this paper studies and improves the existing structure to provide a copper plating apparatus for the production of thermoelectrically separated copper substrates, aiming to achieve greater practical value.

Hot air blowers are fixedly connected to both sides of the exterior of the first drying tank. A drying pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of each hot air blower and is fixedly connected to the upper part of the interior of the first drying tank. A drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the top of both the cleaning tank and the first drying tank. A wiping mechanism is provided directly above both the cleaning tank and the first drying tank.
[0007] Furthermore, the wiping mechanism includes two pairs of support rods, each pair of support rods being located at opposite front and rear positions.

Limiting rings are fixedly connected to both sides of the middle of each support rod. A bidirectional lead screw is provided on the lower side of the opposite faces of the two support rods on the same side of the two pairs of support rods.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 A copper plating apparatus for producing a thermoelectrically separated copper substrate includes an electroplating tank 1. Inside the electroplating tank 1, a cleaning tank 2, a first drying tank 3, an electroplating tank 4, and a second drying tank 5 are sequentially arranged. The first drying tank 3 and the second drying tank 5 have the same structure. A pair of water pumps 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outside of the cleaning tank 2, and hot air blowers 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outside of the first drying tank 3.
[0020] A drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top side of the cleaning tank 2 and the top side of the first drying tank 3. The copper substrate is placed inside the cleaning tank 2 for cleaning.
[0021] In order to wipe the copper substrate before or after processing as needed and improve the subsequent processing effect of the copper substrate, wiping mechanisms 9 are provided directly above the cleaning tank 2 and the first drying tank 3.
[0022] Please see Figure 4 The wiping mechanism 9 includes two pairs of support rods 13. Each pair of support rods (13) is located in a relatively front-to-back position. The two support rods 13 located in the same front-to-back position are movably connected to a wiping roller 14 at the center of their opposite surfaces. Limiting rings 15 are fixedly connected to the middle of each support rod 13 on both sides. A bidirectional lead screw 16 is provided on the lower side of the opposite surfaces of the two support rods 13 located on the same side. A pair of ball bearing sliders 17 are sleeved on the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw 16.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 A filter screen is fixedly connected in the center of the cleaning tank 2, and the electroplating tank 4 is filled with electroplating solution. The filter screen filters out impurities that fall off the surface of the copper substrate.
[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The output end of the water pump 6 is fixedly connected to the spray pipe 10, and the spray pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the interior of the cleaning tank 2. When the water pump 6 is started, it works with the spray pipe 10 to rinse the copper substrate. The output end of the hot air blower 7 is fixedly connected to the drying pipe 11, and the drying pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the interior of the first drying tank 3.
[0025] Please see Figure 4 The support rod 13 is movably connected to the top surface of the electroplating tank 1 with the limiting ring 15 as the pivot. The output end of the drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 16. The rotational stability of the support rod 13 is ensured by the limiting ring 15.
[0026] Please see Figure 5 An extension rod 12 is movably connected to the top of the ball slider 17, and the top end of the extension rod 12 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the adjacent support rod 13. When the drive motor 8 is started, the bidirectional lead screw 16 is driven to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 16, in conjunction with the two ball sliders 17, drives the extension rod 12 and the support rod 13 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the wiping roller 14.
[0027] In use: The copper substrate is placed inside the cleaning tank 2. The drive motor 8 is started, driving the bidirectional lead screw 16 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 16, in conjunction with two ball bearing sliders 17, drives the extension rod 12 and the support rod 13 to rotate. The rotational stability of the support rod 13 is ensured by the limiting ring 15, thereby adjusting the position of the wiping rollers 14 so that the two wiping rollers 14 above the cleaning tank 2 cooperate to wipe the copper substrate. Then, the wiping rollers 14 above the cleaning tank 2 are reset, and the water pump 6 is started, in conjunction with the spray pipe 10, to rinse the copper substrate and filter out impurities that have fallen off the surface of the copper substrate. Afterward, the copper substrate is reset and sent into the first drying tank 3. At this time, the two wiping rollers 14 above the first drying tank 3 cooperate to wipe the water stains on the surface of the copper substrate. Then, the hot air blower 7 is started, in conjunction with the drying pipe 11, to heat and dry the copper substrate. Then, the cleaned and dried copper substrate is sent into the electroplating tank 4 for electroplating. Afterward, it is sent into the second drying tank 5 for wiping and drying of the electroplating solution on the surface of the copper substrate. Finally, the copper substrate is removed, and the electroplating process is completed.
[0028] The copper plating device described above uses a water pump (6) on the cleaning tank (2) in conjunction with a spray pipe (10) to rinse the copper substrate. Then, the hot air blower (7) on the first drying tank (3) in conjunction with a drying pipe (11) is used to wipe the copper substrate. After the electroplating process is completed, the copper substrate is dried again in the second drying tank (5) to complete the electroplating process. Compared with the prior art, the device is equipped with a cleaning component and a drying component, which can clean and dry the copper substrate to ensure the fine processing of the copper substrate electroplating process, reduce pollution problems, and improve the electroplating effect.
[0029] In addition, the copper plating device described above uses a wiping mechanism (9) to drive a motor (8) to rotate a bidirectional lead screw (16). The bidirectional lead screw (16) works with two ball bearing sliders (17) to rotate an extension rod (12) and a support rod (13). A limit ring (15) ensures the rotational stability of the support rod (13), thereby adjusting the position of the wiping roller (14) to wipe the copper substrate. Compared with the prior art, the wiping assembly can wipe copper substrates with attached substances, further improving the processing effect of the copper substrate.
