[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This embodiment of an electroplating equipment structure for uniform electroplating includes a base 1, on which a column 4 is fixedly mounted. The column 4 is used to support the electroplating tank 5. The electroplating tank 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the column 4. A reciprocating mechanism is provided on the electroplating tank 5 to facilitate the reciprocating movement of the workpiece, thereby improving the uniformity of electroplating. A circulation mechanism is provided on the base 1 to improve the fluidity of the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 5, thereby improving the uniformity of electroplating. The reciprocating mechanism includes a bracket 32, which is fixedly mounted on the electroplating tank 5 and is used to support the reciprocating lead screw 310. The inner wall of 32 is rotatably connected to a reciprocating screw 310 via a bearing. The reciprocating screw 310 is used to drive the threaded sleeve 38 to move. The threaded sleeve 38 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw 310. The threaded sleeve 38 is used to drive the receiving plate 37 to move. The receiving plate 37 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the threaded sleeve 38. An electric telescopic rod 31 is fixedly installed on the receiving plate 37. The electric telescopic rod 31 is used to raise and lower the hook 35. An installation column 36 is fixedly installed at the telescopic rod end of the electric telescopic rod 31. An installation plate 311 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the installation column 36. A hook 35 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the installation plate 311. The hook 35 is used to suspend the workpiece.

[0026] The circulation mechanism includes a pump body 22, which is fixedly installed on the base 1. The inlet pipe end of the pump body 22 is provided with a first conduit 21, one end of which is connected to the electroplating tank 5. The outlet pipe end of the pump body 22 is provided with a second conduit 23, one end of which is connected to the electroplating tank 5. By providing the pump body 22, the first conduit 21, and the second conduit 23, the fluidity of the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 5 is increased, which helps to improve the uniformity of electroplating.

[0027] The base 1 is a square plate, and there are four columns 4. Each column 4 is a cylindrical rod and is set vertically. The columns 4 are used to support the installation of the electroplating tank 5.

[0028] A limiting sleeve 39 is fixedly installed at the top of the threaded sleeve 38. The limiting sleeve 39 slides on the bracket 32. The setting of the limiting sleeve 39, together with the bracket 32, serves to limit the movement of the threaded sleeve 38, which is conducive to the linear movement of the threaded sleeve 38.

[0029] A stirring rod 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the receiving plate 37. The stirring rod 34 is set vertically and is used to stir the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 5.

[0030] The bracket 32 ​​is an arched frame, and the reciprocating screw 310 is set horizontally to drive the threaded sleeve 38 to move.

[0031] A motor 33 is fixedly installed on the side of the bracket 32. The shaft end of the motor 33 passes through the inner wall of the bracket 32 ​​and is fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating lead screw 310. The motor 33 is used to drive the reciprocating lead screw 310 to rotate.

[0032] The receiving plate 37 is horizontally set and is square in shape. The receiving plate 37 is set to support the installation of the electric telescopic pole 31.

[0033] When electroplating is required, the hook 35 is moved to a suitable height by the electric telescopic rod 31, the workpiece is then suspended on the hook 35, and the workpiece is lowered by the electric telescopic rod 31 until it is immersed in the electroplating solution, and the workpiece is electroplated by the electroplating tank 5.

[0034] During the electroplating process, the motor 33 and pump body 22 are started. The motor 33 drives the reciprocating lead screw 310 to rotate. When the reciprocating lead screw 310 rotates, it will drive the threaded sleeve 38 to move. Under the limiting action of the limiting sleeve 39 and the bracket 32, the threaded sleeve 38 will move back and forth in a straight line. When the threaded sleeve 38 moves back and forth in a straight line, it will drive the workpiece to move back and forth through the receiving plate 37, the electric telescopic rod 31, the mounting column 36, the mounting plate 311 and the hook 35, thereby facilitating the uniform electroplating of the workpiece.

[0035] When the pump body 22 is working, the pump body 22 will draw the electroplating solution through the first conduit 21 and return it to the electroplating tank 5 through the second conduit 23. The above arrangement facilitates the increase of the fluidity of the electroplating solution, thereby improving the electroplating uniformity of the workpiece.

[0036] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. Any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing disclosed power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
