Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a thin material conductive fixture on both sides, belonging to the technical field of electroplating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the electroplating production process, the horizontal feeding device is one of the core pieces of equipment, and the design of its conductive mechanism directly affects production efficiency and product quality. Currently, the most commonly used horizontal feeding devices in the industry employ a left-right clamping conductive mechanism, which conducts electricity to the moving material strip through contact on both sides. However, this traditional structure has the following significant drawbacks in practical applications:

[0003] Firstly, regarding the adjustment of the material strip width, the existing clamp-type structure uses a mechanical design with a fixed side guide rail and adjustable clamping blocks. The adjustment process requires the simultaneous operation of multiple locking mechanisms and lacks a precise positioning reference, resulting in a cumbersome and inaccurate width adjustment process. When encountering material strips of different specifications, operators need to spend a significant amount of time on repeated adjustments, severely impacting equipment utilization.

[0004] Secondly, regarding height adjustment, traditional devices typically employ a screw lifting mechanism combined with a mechanical limit device. This adjustment method not only has a slow operational response speed but is also prone to mechanical gaps during frequent adjustments, causing deviations in the material strip's trajectory and affecting the uniformity of the electroplated layer. Especially when processing ultra-thin or flexible substrates, insufficient precision in height adjustment can easily lead to quality problems such as material strip wrinkles.

[0005] More importantly, the working surface of the existing conductive mechanism is in surface contact with the material strip, resulting in uneven pressure distribution. This contact method causes the sides of the material strip to bear concentrated loads for a long time, easily forming indentations on the material strip surface and even causing the metal plating to peel off. In addition, the direct contact friction between the upper and lower surfaces of the material strip and the transmission components makes the product surface extremely prone to scratches, seriously affecting the yield of finished products.

[0006] Although some improvement solutions have attempted to adopt roller contact conductive mechanisms, these structures often suffer from technical bottlenecks such as unstable contact resistance and low current transmission efficiency. Furthermore, complex adjustment mechanisms increase equipment maintenance costs, and multi-stage transmission structures are more prone to mechanical failures, making it difficult to meet the stability and maintainability requirements of modern electroplating production lines.

It will not scratch or abrade the upper and lower surfaces of the material strip, thereby meeting the conductivity requirements of electroplated products of different widths and adapting to the strict requirements of modern electroplating processes for high-precision and high-efficiency production.
