Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an anode adjustment mechanism and an electroplating device, belonging to the field of electroplating technology. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional electroplating processes, the anode typically employs a fixed structure, such as an anode titanium basket fixed to an anode frame, where current conduction is achieved through static distribution. However, for large, irregularly shaped products (such as workpieces with significant differences in plate thickness or complex shapes), the problem of uneven electric field distribution during use is particularly prominent.

[0003] Due to the varying distances between the anode and different areas of the product, the electric field intensity distribution becomes unbalanced, resulting in excessively thick or even burnt plating in high-current areas (such as those near the anode), while insufficient plating occurs in low-current areas (such as those far from the anode or in recessed areas), severely impacting product yield. Furthermore, fixed anode structures are difficult to adapt to diverse product requirements, necessitating frequent shutdowns for adjustments or replacements of anode components, leading to low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anode adjustment mechanism and an electroplating device to solve the problem of uneven electroplating film thickness caused by different anode distances to products in traditional electroplating processes.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0006] On one hand, this utility model provides an anode adjustment mechanism, including mounting seats installed on both sides of the inner wall of the housing, a guide screw and a guide shaft installed between the two mounting seats, a first fixing block and a second fixing block being movably connected to the guide screw and the guide shaft, a first knob being provided on both sides of the first fixing block, a second knob being provided on both sides of the second fixing block, the first knob and the second knob being threadedly connected to the guide screw, and a hanging rod being connected to both the first fixing block and the second fixing block, the hanging rod being connected to an anode titanium basket for placing the anode.

[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, both the first fixing block and the second fixing block are T-shaped.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the upper ends of the first fixing block and the second fixing block are slidably connected to the guide screw and the guide shaft, and the lower ends of the first fixing block and the second fixing block are provided with fixing slots for fixing the hanging rod.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fixing slot is an arc-shaped slot.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the anode titanium basket is hung on the hanging rod by a hook.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the hanging rod is provided with a through hole that mates with the fixing slot. The fixing slot is engaged with the hook. A fastener is inserted into the fixing slot through the through hole to fix the first fixing block, the second fixing block, the hook, and the hanging rod in a fixed connection.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, the guide shaft is provided with scale lines.

[0013] On the other hand, this utility model provides an electroplating apparatus, including the aforementioned anode adjustment mechanism.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This utility model provides an anode adjustment mechanism and electroplating device. First, an anode titanium basket for holding the anode is installed on a hanging rod via a hook. Then, a fixing block with a fixing slot is engaged with the hook, and fasteners are inserted into the fixing slot through through holes to fix the fixing block, hook, and hanging rod together. Adjusting the two first knobs on the guide screw moves the first fixing block, thereby moving the hanging rod fixedly connected to the first fixing block and the anode titanium basket hanging on the hanging rod. Adjusting the two second knobs on the guide screw moves the second fixing block, thereby moving the hanging rod fixedly connected to the second fixing block and the anode titanium basket hanging on the hanging rod. The guide shaft has scale lines that indicate the moving position of the fixing block, allowing for precise movement. Therefore, this anode adjustment mechanism allows the anode titanium basket for holding the anode to flexibly adjust its distance from the product within the housing, achieving uniform film thickness distribution and improving electroplating quality. The displacement adjustment of the anode-product distance makes it suitable for electroplating various products, adapting to diverse product needs and improving production efficiency.

[0027] like Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model provides an anode adjustment mechanism. The anode adjustment mechanism 1 includes mounting seats 18 installed on both sides of the inner wall of the housing 21. A guide screw 11 and a guide shaft 12 are installed between the two mounting seats 18. The guide screw 11 and the guide shaft 12 are movably connected to a first fixing block 13 and a second fixing block 14. A first knob 15 is provided on both sides of the first fixing block 13, and a second knob 16 is provided on both sides of the second fixing block 14. The first knob 15 and the second knob 16 are both threadedly connected to the guide screw 11. The first fixing block 13 and the second fixing block 14 are both connected to a hanging rod 23. The hanging rod 23 is connected to an anode titanium basket 22 for placing the anode.

[0028] In some embodiments, both the first fixing block 13 and the second fixing block 14 are T-shaped.

[0029] Furthermore, the upper ends of the first fixing block 13 and the second fixing block 14 are slidably connected to the guide screw 11 and the guide shaft 12, and the lower ends of the first fixing block 13 and the second fixing block 14 are provided with fixing slots 17 for fixing the hanging rod 23.

[0030] Furthermore, the fixed slot 17 is an arc-shaped slot.

[0031] In some embodiments, the anode titanium basket 22 is hung on the hanging rod 23 by a hook 25.

[0032] Furthermore, the hanging rod 23 is provided with a through hole 24 that mates with the fixing slot 17. The fixing slot 17 is engaged with the hook 25. Fasteners are inserted into the fixing slot 17 through the through hole 24 to fix the first fixing block 13, the second fixing block 14, the hook 25, and the hanging rod 23.

[0033] In some embodiments, the guide shaft 12 is provided with scale lines.

[0034] In summary, the anode adjustment mechanism provided by this utility model first installs the anode titanium basket 22, used to hold the anode, onto the hanging rod 23 via a hook 25. Then, the fixing slot 17 of the fixing block is engaged with the hook 25, and a fastener is inserted into the fixing slot 17 through the through hole 24 to fix the fixing block, hook 25, and hanging rod 23 together. Adjusting the two first knobs 15 on the guide screw 11 moves the first fixing block 13, thereby moving the hanging rod 23 fixedly connected to the first fixing block 13 and the anode titanium basket 22 hanging on the hanging rod 23. Adjusting the two second knobs 16 on the guide screw 11 moves the second fixing block 14, thereby moving the hanging rod 23 fixedly connected to the second fixing block 14 and the anode titanium basket 22 hanging on the hanging rod 23. Since the guide shaft 12 is equipped with scale lines, it can display the moving position of the fixing block, allowing for precise movement of the fixing block. Therefore, the anode adjustment mechanism 1 allows the anode titanium basket 22, used to hold the anode, to flexibly adjust its distance from the product within the housing 21, thereby achieving a uniform distribution of the electroplated film thickness and improving electroplating quality. By adjusting the distance between the anode and the product through displacement, it can be applied to the electroplating production of various products, adapting to diverse product needs and improving production efficiency.

[0035] Furthermore, this utility model also provides an electroplating apparatus 2, which includes the aforementioned anode adjustment mechanism 1. Because the electroplating apparatus 2 includes the anode adjustment mechanism 1 described above, it possesses all the advantages mentioned above.
