Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, specifically to environmentally friendly plating substrates. Background Technology

[0002] In the electroplating industry, dummy plating plates play a crucial role in stabilizing and activating the performance of the plating solution. Newly prepared or maintained plating solutions often have uneven metal ion concentrations and unstable additive dispersions, leading to inconsistent plating quality when used directly for product electroplating. Once in use, dummy plating plates, through their electrochemical reaction with the plating solution, quickly balance the metal ion concentration, promote uniform additive dispersion, and stabilize the solution's performance indicators. Simultaneously, when electroplating equipment has been idle for extended periods or is newly commissioned, the electrode surface activity is low. The dummy plating process effectively activates the electrode surface, enhancing the efficiency of the electrochemical reaction between the electrode and the plating solution, laying a solid foundation for subsequent formal electroplating operations. This significantly reduces the product plating defect rate and ensures product quality.

[0003] Currently, most electroplating processes in the industry commonly use copper-clad laminates (CCLs) or conductive metal plates as plating plates. However, these traditional plating plates have revealed many significant drawbacks in practical applications. From a cost perspective, the raw materials for CCLs and conductive metal plates are expensive, and frequent replacement of plating plates keeps the production costs of electroplating companies high, severely compressing profit margins, especially in large-scale production scenarios where cost pressures are even more pronounced. In terms of resource utilization, after using CCLs as plating plates, the substrate cannot be recycled, resulting in a large waste of resources; while the copper and other metals in conductive metal plates can be recycled after completing their plating task, the recycling process involves complex chemical treatment and physical separation processes, which not only has high recycling costs but also requires a large investment of manpower and resources, resulting in extremely low resource utilization efficiency.

[0004] In conclusion, given the high cost, low resource utilization, and environmental pollution associated with traditional electroplating processes for plating plates, developing a new type of environmentally friendly plating substrate that is lower in cost, more efficient in resource utilization, and more environmentally friendly has become a critical issue that the industry urgently needs to address, and has significant practical implications and broad application prospects.

[0025] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details:

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the environmentally friendly plating substrate includes a substrate 1 and a connecting head plate 2. The substrate 1 is a rectangular plate with uniform thickness. The substrate 1 and the connecting head plate 2 are made of any one of the following materials: epoxy resin, glass fiber, ceramic, carbon fiber, and plastic. The connecting head plate 2 is generally rectangular, with a thinner connecting plate portion 21 at its lower end. The connecting plate portion 21 is attached to the upper surface of the substrate 1, and the length and thickness of the connecting plate portion 21 are the same as those of the substrate 1. In the vertical direction, the length of the connecting plate portion 21 is 1-3 mm.

[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, multiple first conical ridges 11 are arranged equidistantly along the left-right direction on the front and back sides of the substrate 1, with a spacing of 10-50 mm between adjacent first conical ridges 11. The first conical ridges 11 extend vertically, and their upper and lower ends are aligned with the upper and lower end faces of the substrate 1, respectively. Second conical ridges 22, corresponding one-to-one with the first conical ridges 11 of the substrate 1, are provided on the front and back sides of the connecting plate portion 21. The cross-sectional shape and size of the first and second conical ridges 11 and 22 are identical, and the cross-section of the conical ridges forms a triangle. A mutually cooperating positioning structure is provided on the upper end face of the substrate 1 and the lower end face of the connecting plate portion 21. The positioning structure includes a positioning groove 13 on the upper end face of the substrate 1 and a positioning block 25 on the lower end face of the connecting plate portion 21. The shape and size of the positioning block 25 are the same as those of the positioning groove 13. The positioning structure allows the first conical ridges 11 and second conical ridges 22 to be aligned one-to-one.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, both the front and back sides of the substrate 1 and the connecting plate portion 21 are provided with electroplated copper layers 3. The electroplated copper layers 3 can be formed by chemical electroplating, coating, etc. Since the substrate 1 is provided with a first conical ridge 11 and the connecting plate portion 21 is provided with a second conical ridge 22, when the electroplated copper layer 3 is formed, a groove 31 that matches the first conical ridge 11 and the second conical ridge 22 will be formed on the inner wall surface. The maximum depth of the groove 31 is not less than two-thirds of the thickness of the electroplated copper layer 3. The peel strength of the electroplated copper layer 3 is less than 1 pound / inch, and the peel strength can be achieved by adjusting the surface roughness of the substrate, etc.

[0029] like Figures 1-3As shown, the upper surface of the substrate 1 has multiple threaded holes 12 arranged in the left-right direction. The connecting head plate 2 has connecting through holes 23 corresponding to each threaded hole 12. The connecting through holes 23 penetrate the connecting head plate 2 in the up-down direction. The substrate 1 and the connecting head plate 2 are connected by connecting bolts 4. The screw part of the connecting bolt 4 passes through the connecting through hole 23 and is screwed into the threaded hole 12. The diameter of the two connecting through holes 23 at both ends of the connecting head plate 2 is larger than the diameter of the threaded holes 12, and the hole walls of these two connecting through holes 23 are provided with threaded structures to form set screw threaded holes 24. If necessary, the substrate 1 and the connecting head plate 2, which are connected by the electroplated copper layer 3, can be separated by installing set screws in the set screw threaded holes 24. Lifting rings 5 ​​are threadedly installed in the threaded holes 12 at both ends of the substrate 1. The lifting rings 5 ​​have threaded rods that pass through the set screw threaded holes 24. By setting the lifting rings 5, this utility model can be lifted and used.

[0030] This invention achieves the function of a drag plate by setting peelable electroplated copper layers 3 on the front and back of the substrate 1, and makes the substrate 1 reusable, reducing costs, improving resource utilization, and being more environmentally friendly. To peel off the electroplated copper layer 3, first remove the connecting head plate 2 to expose the upper end of the electroplated copper layer 3, and then cut or shear the groove 31. Then, use pliers or other clamps to clamp the upper end of the electroplated copper layer 3, and pull it off easily and completely by applying slow and even force. This makes peeling the electroplated copper layer 3 very convenient, eliminates the need for chemical peeling methods, and is more environmentally friendly.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
