All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1-4, this specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: It includes:

[0029] Positioning plate 1, there are several positioning plates 1, which are respectively fixed on the belt of the belt conveyor 2.

[0031] The movable plates 5, of which there are several, are respectively set on the four sides of the positioning plate 1 by the connecting components 6, and the movable plates 5 are movably locked in the grooves 3. The two sides of the movable plates 5 are engaged with the corresponding abutting rods 4. By engaging the several movable plates 5 with the abutting rods 4, a groove 3 is formed on the positioning plate 1, which facilitates the storage of etching solution in the groove, so that the lead frame is immersed in the etching solution, thereby improving the efficiency of etching the lead frame. The two sides of the several movable plates 5 are respectively provided with sealing gaskets 19, which are engaged with the abutting rods 4 to improve the sealing effect between the movable plates 5 and the abutting rods 4.

[0032] The fixing frame 7 consists of several fixing frames 7, which are respectively fixedly installed on the support of the belt conveyor 2. The vertical bars on the front and rear sides of the fixing frame 7 are located on the front and rear sides of the belt conveyor 2. The horizontal bar of the fixing frame 7 is equipped with a nozzle 8, which is connected to an external water source to facilitate fixing the position of the nozzle 8.

[0033] Limiting plates 9, there are two limiting plates 9, which are symmetrically fixed on the vertical bars on the front and rear sides of the fixed frame 7. The limiting plates 9 are in contact with the corresponding movable plates 5, and the position of the movable plates 5 is restricted by the limiting plates 9. Each of the two limiting plates 9 is provided with a buffer surface 20. One side of the movable plate 5 is in contact with the buffer surface. The buffer surface 20 is used to guide the movable plate 5 to move and avoid the movable plate 5 from directly hitting the limiting plate 9.

[0034] The fan 10 is located on the right side of the fixed frame 7 and is connected to an external power source. The fan 10 facilitates the drying of residual etching solution on the positioning plate 1.

[0035] Connection component 6 includes:

[0036] The limiting rod 11 consists of several rods, one end of which is symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the movable plate 5, and the other end of which is movably inserted into the side wall of the groove 3. The limiting rod 11 serves as a guide. A waterproof sleeve 18 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the groove 3, and the limiting rod 11 is movably inserted into the waterproof sleeve 18 to prevent the etching solution from entering the interior of the positioning plate 1.

[0037] Guide plate 12, there are several guide plates 12, and several guide plates 12 are fixedly installed in the groove of positioning plate 1. Several guide rods 13 are fixedly installed on the annular wall of the guide plate 12. Several guide blocks 14 are movably sleeved on the guide rods 13. The guide rods 13 restrict the movement direction of the guide blocks 14. The ends of the several guide rods 13 are provided with limiting rings 17. The guide blocks 14 are engaged with the limiting rings 17 to restrict the movement position of the guide blocks 14.

[0038] Connecting rod 15, there are several connecting rods 15, and the two ends of the several connecting rods 15 are respectively screwed to the end of the limiting rod 11 and the guide block 14 by rotating rods.

[0039] Several springs 16 are respectively sleeved on the limiting rod 11. The two ends of the springs 16 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the groove of the positioning plate 1 and the limiting rod 11. The elastic force of the springs 16 facilitates the movable plate 5 to abut against the limiting plate 9.

[0040] When using this utility model, first place the lead frame on the positioning plate 1, and then move the positioning plate 1 to the right by the belt conveyor 2. When the positioning plate 1 moves to the fixed frame 7, the movable plates 5 on the front and rear sides contact the buffer surface 20, so that the movable plates 5 on the front and rear sides are inserted into the groove 3. The movable plates 5 on the front and rear sides drive the limiting rod 11 to move. The limiting rod 11 drives the corresponding guide block 14 to move towards the guide plate 12 on the guide rod 13 through the connecting rod 15. The guide block 14 drives the other side of the limiting rod 12 through the connecting rod 15. The position rod 11 moves, causing the movable plates 5 on the left and right sides to be inserted into the grooves 3. The movable plates 5 and the contact rod 4 form a water tank on the positioning plate 1, which facilitates the storage of the etching solution sprayed by the nozzle 8 on the positioning plate 1, so that the lead frame is immersed in the etching solution, improving the etching efficiency. Until the positioning plate 1 moves to the right side, the movable plate 5 disengages from the limiting plate 9. The elastic force of the spring 16 causes the movable plate 5 to disengage from the groove 3, which facilitates the discharge of the etching solution on the positioning plate 1. Then, the fan 10 dries the positioning plate 1 and the lead frame.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0042] 1. The contact rod 4 and the movable plate 5 facilitate the storage of etching solution on the positioning plate 1, so that the lead frame is immersed in the etching solution, the lead frame is etched evenly, and the etching efficiency is improved.

[0043] 2. Set the connecting component 6, set the guide rod 13 to limit the movement direction of the guide block 14, and then connect it with the connecting rod 15 to facilitate the synchronous movement of the limit rods 11 on the four sides, thereby making the movable plates 5 on the four sides move synchronously.

[0044] 3. Install a waterproof sleeve 18 to improve the sealing between the limit rod 11 and the positioning plate 1, and prevent the etching solution from entering the positioning plate 1;

[0045] 4. A buffer surface 20 is provided. The buffer surface 20 is used to facilitate the movement of the movable plate 5 on the limiting plate 9 and prevent the movable plate 5 from directly hitting the limiting plate 9.

[0046] For those skilled in the art, modifications can be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, and equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
