[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1-5, this embodiment provides an automated electroplating equipment for uniformly depositing semiconductor metal surfaces, including a device body 1. The device body 1 contains an electroplating tank 2 and a worktable 5. An electric slide rail 6 is installed on the outer wall of the worktable 5 and the electroplating tank 2. A U-shaped frame 7 is slidably arranged in the electric slide rail 6. An electric slide rail 8 is opened in the U-shaped frame 7. A sliding frame 9 is slidably arranged in the electric slide rail 8. A cylinder 10 is installed in the sliding frame 9. An electric gripper 11 is connected below the cylinder 10. A drain tank 12 is provided above the worktable 5. A drying box 19 is provided on the side of the drain tank 12, and a drain plate 13 is installed in the drain tank 12. A fan 20 is installed on the drying box 19, and one end of the drying box 19 is connected to an air outlet pipe 21. One end of the air outlet pipe 21 is connected to an air outlet head 22.

[0026] Preferably, one end of the electroplating tank 2 is connected to a drain pipe 3, and two sets of drain pipes 3 are provided. Valves 4 are installed on the two sets of drain pipes 3. By providing drain pipes 3, it is convenient to discharge the electroplating water in the electroplating tank 2. By providing valves 4, it is convenient for users to control and use the drain pipes 3, which increases the convenience of the device.

[0027] Preferably, an L-shaped clip 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the drain plate 13. The L-shaped clip 14 is movably engaged with the drain pool 12. By setting the L-shaped clip 14, the drain plate 13 can be installed and fixed, ensuring the safety and stability of the drain plate 13 during use and facilitating the user to disassemble and replace the drain plate 13 later. A placement groove 15 is provided in the workbench 5, and a water collection tank 16 is slidably installed in the placement groove 15. The water collection tank 16 is located below the drain pool 12. By setting the water collection tank 16, it is convenient to collect the water dripping from the drain pool 12, preventing electroplating liquid from dripping onto the workbench 5 and affecting the subsequent use of the device. A finger groove 17 is provided in the water collection tank 16. The finger groove 17 is a long rectangular opening. By setting the finger groove 17, it is convenient for the user to pull out and put in the water collection tank 16, increasing the convenience and flexibility of the device.

[0028] Preferably, a support frame 18 is provided below the drying oven 19. One end of the support frame 18 is welded and fixed to the workbench 5. By providing the support frame 18, the stability of the device is increased, ensuring the safety of the drying oven 19 during use. A retaining ring 23 is fixedly connected above the support frame 18. An air outlet pipe 21 is movably engaged in the retaining ring 23. The air outlet pipe 21 is made of an elastic and stretchable material. By providing the retaining ring 23, it is convenient to limit and fix the air outlet pipe 21, ensuring the safety of the air outlet pipe 21 during use.

[0029] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the user places the component to be electroplated in the electroplating tank 2 for electroplating. After the plating is completed, the control cylinder 10 is pushed downwards, causing the electric gripper 11 to move downwards. Once the component is in the appropriate position, the control cylinder 10 clamps the electric gripper 11. After successful clamping, the control cylinder 10 resets the electric gripper 11. Then, the control electric slide rail 6 moves the U-shaped frame 7. As the U-shaped frame 7 moves, it moves the sliding frame 9, cylinder 10, electric gripper 11, and component above the drain tank 12. Once in the appropriate position, the control cylinder 11 releases the component, placing it on the drain plate 13. This process is repeated until the electroplated component is placed on the drain plate 13. The remaining electroplating solution then flows through the openings in the drain plate 13 into the drain tank 12. The electroplating solution enters the water collection tank 16 through the opening for centralized collection. Then, the drying chamber 19 and the fan 20 are controlled to operate. The user removes the air outlet pipe 21 from the retaining ring 23. After removal, the user aligns the air outlet 22 with the component, and air is discharged from the air outlet pipe 21 and the air outlet 22 onto the component until the component is completely dried. Then, the user pulls the water collection tank 16 out of the placement tank 15 through the finger groove 17. After pulling it out, the collected electroplating solution can be poured back into the electroplating tank 2 for subsequent use. This device can dry and load components that have not yet been electroplated, making it convenient for users to dry the components. This increases the practicality and convenience of the device, improves the flexibility of the device, ensures the uniformity and quality of the component coating, and can also centrally collect and treat the waste liquid generated by electroplating, reducing pollution diffusion, saving investment costs, and facilitating the recycling of the collected electroplating solution.
