Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of immersion gold treatment technology for circuit boards, and in particular to an immersion gold treatment device for PCB circuit boards. Background Technology

[0002] Immersion gold plating is a widely used electroless nickel plating technique for surface treatment of printed circuit boards. The process begins by electrolessly plating nickel onto copper pads to form a uniform, dense nickel layer that serves as both a barrier and conductive layer. Subsequently, a thin layer of gold is deposited on the nickel surface through a displacement reaction to enhance the pads' oxidation resistance, conductivity, and solderability. Immersion gold plating offers advantages such as a smooth surface, long shelf life, and suitability for high-density and fine-pitch component soldering. It is commonly used in the manufacture of PCBs for high-end electronic products to ensure the reliability and stability of circuit connections.

[0003] After the immersion gold process is completed on the PCB circuit board, some solutions and impurities will remain on the surface of the PCB circuit board. If they are not cleaned in time, they will affect the subsequent processing procedures and product quality. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on workers to move to a specific location for cleaning, or even to manually clean it. This working method increases the difficulty of the workers' work and seriously affects the work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a device for immersion gold plating on PCB circuit boards. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example: A PCB circuit board immersion gold device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a gold-plating tank 1, a shelf 5, a support leg 7, a transmission component 8, a mounting frame 9, a delivery pipe 10, a spray head 101, a liquid storage frame 11, and a water pump 12. The shelf 5 is installed inside the gold-plating tank 1. The support leg 7 is located on one side of the gold-plating tank 1. The transmission component 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the support leg 7. The mounting frame 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission component 8. The gold-plating tank 1 has a through hole corresponding to the mounting frame 9. The delivery pipe 10 is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 9. The spray head 101 is installed on the delivery pipe 10. The liquid storage frame 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission component 8. The water pump 12 is installed on the liquid storage frame 11. The output end and input end of the water pump 12 are connected to the delivery pipe 10 and the liquid storage frame 11 respectively through connecting pipes. Multiple delivery pipes 10 are evenly distributed inside the mounting frame 9. The delivery pipes 10 are interconnected, and multiple spray heads 101 are distributed on each delivery pipe 10.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a lead screw 2 is rotatably connected inside the gold-plated box 1. The lead screw 2 is threadedly connected to the shelf 5. A motor 3 is installed on the top of the gold-plated box 1. The output shaft of the motor 3 is connected to the lead screw 2. When the motor 3 is started, the motor 3 drives the output shaft to rotate. The motor 3 drives the lead screw 2 to rotate through the output shaft. During the rotation, the lead screw 2 drives the shelf 5 to move downward, so that the shelf 5 enters the gold-plated box 1.

[0022] like Figures 2-3 As shown, a guide rod 4 is fixedly connected inside the gold-plated box 1. The guide rod 4 is slidably connected to the shelf 5. The guide rod 4 can provide limit and guidance during the movement of the shelf 5, thereby ensuring that the shelf 5 can move stably and preventing the PCB circuit board on the shelf 5 from being bumped during the movement, thus ensuring the quality of the PCB circuit board.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, an extension plate 6 is fixedly connected to the through hole of the gold-plated box 1. The extension plate 6 can provide guidance for the PCB circuit board when the push plate 14 pushes it, so that the PCB circuit board can move stably onto the transmission component 8, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent work.

[0024] like Figures 2-3 As shown, an electric push rod 13 is provided on the top of both the gold immersion box 1 and the mounting frame 9. The movable rod of the electric push rod 13 is fixedly connected to a push plate 14. The push plate 14 and the through hole of the gold immersion box 1 are on the same horizontal line. When the electric push rod 13 is activated, the movable rod of the electric push rod 13 retracts inward, causing the electric push rod to drive the push plate 14 to move towards the transmission component 8.

[0025] This device is used in the immersion gold process of PCB circuit boards. During use, sufficient immersion gold solution is poured into the immersion gold tank 1. The PCB circuit board is then placed on the shelf 5. Motor 3 is then started, driving the output shaft to rotate. Motor 3, through the output shaft, drives the lead screw 2 to rotate. During rotation, the lead screw 2 moves the shelf 5 downwards, immersing the PCB circuit board in the immersion gold solution. After the PCB circuit board completes the surface immersion gold treatment, motor 3 drives the lead screw 2 in reverse, causing it to move the shelf 5 upwards. This moves the PCB circuit board towards the through-hole of the immersion gold tank 1 until the PCB circuit board, the through-hole, and the push plate 14 are on the same horizontal line. Then, the electric push rod 13 is activated, and its movable rod retracts inwards, causing... The electric push rod 13 drives the PCB circuit board to move towards the transfer assembly 8 via the drive push plate 14. At the same time, during the movement of the PCB circuit board, the transfer assembly 8 and the water pump 12 are started. The water pump 12 draws clean water from the liquid storage box 11 through the connecting pipe and delivers it to the delivery pipe 10. Then, the clean water in the delivery pipe 10 is sprayed onto the transfer assembly 8 through the spray head 101. After the PCB circuit board moves onto the transfer assembly 8, it can move away from the immersion gold tank 1 and be rinsed by the clean water sprayed by the spray head 101, thereby removing the residue and excess solution on the surface of the PCB circuit board, thus ensuring the processing quality of the PCB circuit board and facilitating the smooth progress of subsequent processing. At the same time, the clean water after rinsing the PCB circuit board can fall back into the liquid storage box 11 for recycling and reuse. The work is then completed.

[0026] The above embodiments are provided for those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or changes to the above embodiments without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but should be the maximum scope that conforms to the innovative features mentioned in the claims.
