Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an electroplating fixture, and more particularly to an electroplating fixture with vibration function. Background Technology
[0002] Vertical continuous electroplating is a highly efficient and automated electroplating process primarily used in printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, especially for high-precision electronic components such as high-density interconnect boards and IC substrates. Multi-layer boards (MLBs) are a type of high-end PCB primarily used in high-performance electronic devices such as servers, communication base stations, aerospace, and automotive electronics.
[0003] Currently, when performing vertical continuous electroplating on MLB, the MLB has a multi-layered structure and a relatively thick thickness, which makes the flow of plating solution within the MLB pores less sufficient. This causes air bubbles to remain inside the pores, forming voids. These voids affect the conductivity and reliability of the MLB, and in severe cases, may lead to signal disconnection or thermal management failure, resulting in a low product yield.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame is also provided with two load-bearing blocks.
[0014] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a mounting plate installed vertically on the upper end of the frame; the bottom of the mounting plate is provided with a lower clamping block, and the opposite side of the lower clamping block is provided with an upper clamping block that can be clamped to the lower clamping block by means of a handle.

[0017] Furthermore, the front end of the adapter is also equipped with a display screen for displaying the vibration frequency.
[0018] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0019] This utility model discloses an electroplating fixture with vibration function. A vibration component is added to the upper surface of the supporting component.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0025] This invention provides an electroplating fixture with vibration function to solve the problem in the prior art where, during the electroplating of MLB, the plating solution does not flow sufficiently within the MLB holes, causing air bubbles to remain inside the holes and form voids, thus affecting the conductivity and reliability of the MLB.
[0026] For ease of understanding, the specific processes in the embodiments of this application are described below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 2 An electroplating fixture with vibration function in an embodiment of this application includes a mounting frame 1, a bearing component 2, a current contact point device 3, a vibration component 4, an adapter frame 5, and a frame 6; the current contact point device 3 and the vibration component 4 are disposed above the bearing component 2, and the adapter frame 5 and the frame 6 are disposed below the bearing component 2.
[0027] The mounting bracket 1 is used to install on the electroplating production line, serving to fix the electroplating fixture. The bearing component 2 is horizontally arranged on the mounting bracket 1, and the bearing component 2 serves to support the load. The current contact point device 3 is located at the upper end of the bearing component 2 and is connected to an external power supply. The current contact point device 3 can minimize contact resistance, prevent heat generation and oxidation, and is widely used in electroplating. In this embodiment, the current contact point device 3 is located above the bearing component 2, which facilitates later maintenance and replacement.
[0028] The vibration component 4 is installed at the front end of the bearing component 2 and is driven by the current contact point device 3. The vibration component 4 can generate vibration through the function of the current contact point device 3, thereby driving the bearing component 2 to vibrate. The bearing component 2 drives the adapter, frame and clamping assembly located below it to vibrate.
[0029] The adapter frame 5 is vertically mounted on the bearing component 2 at one end where the vibration component 4 is located, so that the vibration force of the vibration component 4 can be quickly transmitted downward through the adapter frame; the frame 6 is located below the adapter frame 5, the frame is hollow, and the upper end of the frame has a plurality of clamping components 7 arranged perpendicularly to the frame for clamping the product, the clamping components 7 clamp the product in the hollow of the frame.
[0030] During operation, the vibrating component 4 is driven by the current contact point device 3 to generate vibration force. The vibration force is transmitted downward to the frame through the adapter, and then transmitted to the product through the clamping component on the frame. In this way, the product can generate strong vibration during electroplating, which can prevent the product from having voids or defects, improve the product yield, and has a simple structure with low improvement cost.
[0031] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame 6 is provided with two load-bearing blocks 8, which serve to support the weight of the frame 6.
[0032] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 7 includes a mounting plate 70 installed vertically on the upper end of the frame 6; the bottom of the mounting plate 70 is provided with a lower clamping block 71, and the opposite side of the lower clamping block is provided with an upper clamping block 73 that can be clamped to the lower clamping block by means of a handle 72. In use, the upper clamping block 73 and the lower clamping block 71 are clamped to each other by means of the handle 72, thereby clamping the product, which is convenient and labor-saving to operate.
[0033] Furthermore, the number of clamping components 7 is four, and the four clamping components 7 are arranged relatively parallel to each other. The clamping components 7 play the role of clamping the product. Of course, the number is not limited to four and can be adjusted according to actual usage needs.
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vibration component 4 is a vibration motor, but other driving components can also be used. The number of vibration components is not limited to one; there can also be two to increase the vibration function.
[0035] In addition, the external power source connected to the current contact point device 3 is AC power. The advantages of using AC power are that the electric arc is easy to extinguish, the service life is extended, the maintenance cost is low, and energy can be transmitted efficiently.
[0036] Furthermore, the front end of the adapter 5 is also equipped with a display screen 9 for displaying the vibration frequency, so that the vibration frequency of the product can be understood in real time and the vibration frequency can be adjusted according to the actual operating effect.
[0037] During operation, the product is first vertically installed in the frame using the clamping assembly 7. Then, the current contact device 3, powered by an external AC power source, supplies electrical energy to the vibrating component 4, which then generates vibration force. This vibration force is transmitted from top to bottom, passing through the adapter 5 and the frame 6 before being transferred to the product in the clamping assembly. This results in the product vibrating violently during electroplating, allowing the electroplating solution to flow and circulate well in the product's pores, thus preventing voids and defects.
[0038] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
