Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of titanium anode technology, specifically a titanium anode device for PCBs. Background Technology
[0002] Titanium anodes are generally called DSA, or size-stable anodes. They are not simple metal electrodes, but rather coated electrodes. They are composite electrode materials with titanium as the base metal and an electrocatalytic coating on the surface.
[0003] In the PCB electroplating process, the titanium anode device and the cathode are usually immersed in the electroplating solution together. However, most of the current operations require manual operation. Since the electroplating solution usually contains copper sulfate and sulfuric acid, it is easy to cause harm to the human body if the operation is wrong, thus affecting human health. Therefore, there is a need to provide a titanium anode device for PCB. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a titanium anode device for PCBs, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the electroplating solution usually contains copper sulfate and sulfuric acid, which can easily cause harm to the human body and thus affect human health if there is an operational error. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a titanium anode device for PCBs, comprising a workbench body, an adjustment assembly on one side of the workbench body, the adjustment assembly including a drive motor, the drive motor being fixedly connected to one side of the workbench body, a threaded rod being fixedly connected to the transmission end of the drive motor, a limit groove being formed at the top of the workbench body, a limit block being slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit groove, the threaded rod being threadedly connected to the inside of the limit block, a support frame being fixedly connected to the top of the limit block, a rotating handwheel being movably connected to the top of the support frame, a threaded rod being fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating handwheel, a sliding groove being formed on one side of the support frame, a slider being slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, the threaded rod being threadedly connected to the inside of the slider, a connecting plate being fixedly connected to one side of the slider, a T-shaped groove being formed at the bottom of the connecting plate, the T-shaped groove being threadedly connected to the slider... A T-shaped block is movably connected to the inner wall of the shaped groove. A reinforcing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-shaped block, and a fixing clamp is fixedly connected to one side of the reinforcing block. By installing an adjustment component, during the PCB electroplating process, the PCB board and titanium anode device can be fixed to both sides of the reinforcing block using the fixing clamp. Then, the support frame can be moved by the drive motor until the PCB board and titanium anode device are moved to the top of the connecting box. At this point, the handwheel can be rotated to move the threaded rod two downwards, until the PCB board and titanium anode device are immersed in the connecting box containing electrolyte. After electroplating, it can be lifted and moved to the drain to drain the electrolyte. Throughout the process, workers can avoid direct contact with the electrolyte, thus avoiding injury to workers, protecting their health, and improving the practicality of the device.
[0005] More preferably, a second sliding groove is provided on the other side of the support frame, a second slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding groove, a limit post is movably connected inside the second slider, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the second slider.
[0006] Further preferably, a feeding assembly is provided on the top of the workbench body. The feeding assembly includes a connecting box, which is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench body. An electrolytic cell is opened on the top of the connecting box, and a feeding box is fixedly connected to the back of the connecting box. An electrically controlled valve is fixedly connected inside the feeding box, and one end of the electrically controlled valve is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe. A viewing port is opened on one side of the connecting box, and a scale line is fixedly connected to the front of the viewing port. By installing the feeding assembly, during the PCB electroplating process, since the titanium anode itself is insoluble and cannot automatically replenish copper ions like the soluble copper anode, copper oxide powder can be added to the feeding box. When there is a lack of copper ions in the electrolyte, the electrically controlled valve inside the feeding box can discharge the copper oxide powder into the electrolytic cell through the discharge pipe, thereby achieving a stable replenishment of copper ions and avoiding the impact of insufficient copper ions on PCB electroplating, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0007] More preferably, the top of the connecting box is provided with a feed inlet, and the inner wall of the feed inlet is movably connected with a sealing cover.
[0008] More preferably, the top of the workbench body is provided with a drain outlet, and a drain net is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drain outlet.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this invention, by installing an adjustment component, during the PCB electroplating process, the PCB board and titanium anode device can be first fixed to both sides of the reinforcing block using clamps. Then, the drive motor can be used to move the support frame until the PCB board and titanium anode device are moved to the top of the connecting box. At this point, by rotating the handwheel, the threaded rod can be moved downwards on one side of the PCB board and titanium anode device until they are immersed in the connecting box containing the electrolyte. After electroplating, it can be lifted and moved to the drain to drain the electrolyte. Throughout the process, workers can avoid direct contact with the electrolyte, thus preventing injury and protecting their health, and improving the practicality of the device.
[0014] In this invention, by installing a feeding component, copper oxide powder can be added to the feeding tank during the PCB electroplating process. Since the titanium anode itself is insoluble and cannot automatically replenish copper ions like the soluble copper anode, copper oxide powder can be added to the feeding tank. When copper ions are lacking in the electrolyte, the copper oxide powder can be discharged into the electrolytic cell through the discharge pipe using the electrically controlled valve inside the feeding tank. This achieves a stable replenishment of copper ions, avoids the impact of insufficient copper ions on PCB electroplating, and improves the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

Then, the drive motor 201 can be used to drive the support frame 205 to move until the PCB board and the titanium anode device are moved to the top of the connecting box 301. At this time, the handwheel 206 can be rotated to make the threaded rod 207 drive the PCB board and the titanium anode device on one side to move downward until the PCB board and the titanium anode device are immersed in the connecting box 301 containing electrolyte. After the electroplating is completed, it can be lifted and moved to the drain outlet 4 to drain the electrolyte.
[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a second slide groove 215 is provided on the other side of the support frame 205.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a feeding assembly 3 is provided on the top of the workbench body 1. The feeding assembly 3 includes a connecting box 301, which is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench body 1. An electrolytic cell 302 is provided on the top of the connecting box 301.

Since the titanium anode itself is insoluble and cannot automatically replenish copper ions like the soluble copper anode, copper oxide powder can be added. When there is a lack of copper ions in the electrolyte, the copper oxide powder can be discharged into the electrolytic cell 302 through the discharge pipe 305 by the electric control valve 304 inside the feeding box 303, thereby achieving a stable replenishment of copper ions.

[0031] The usage method and advantages of this utility model: The titanium anode device for PCBs operates as follows:
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, during the PCB electroplating process, the PCB board and titanium anode device can first be fixed to both sides of the reinforcing block 213 using the fixing clamp 214. Then, the drive motor 201 can be used to move the support frame 205 until the PCB board and titanium anode device are moved to the top of the connecting box 301. At this point, the handwheel 206 can be rotated, which will cause the threaded rod 207 to move the PCB board and titanium anode device on one side downwards until the PCB board and titanium anode device are immersed in the electrolyte solution. The electrolyte is connected to the tank 301, and after electroplating, it can be raised and moved to the drain 4 to drain the electrolyte. At the same time, during the PCB electroplating process, since the titanium anode itself is insoluble, it cannot automatically replenish copper ions like the soluble copper anode. Therefore, copper oxide powder can be added to the feeding tank 303. When there is a lack of copper ions in the electrolyte, the copper oxide powder can be discharged into the electrolytic cell 302 through the discharge pipe 305 by the electric control valve 304 inside the feeding tank 303, thereby achieving a stable replenishment of copper ions.
