Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board processing technology, specifically to a uniform gold plating device for circuit board processing. Background Technology

[0002] Gold plating is widely used in circuit board manufacturing, mainly in high-precision circuit boards, high-frequency circuit boards, and high-sensitivity circuit boards. The gold plating process forms a metal plating layer on the surface of the circuit board through a special electrolytic process. The main advantages of gold plating are that it can greatly improve the conductivity and corrosion resistance of the circuit board, while also improving the aesthetics of the product and enhancing its surface hardness and wear resistance.

[0003] When immersing circuit boards in an electroplating solution for gold plating, the chemical composition of the solution is unevenly distributed, resulting in local concentration differences and uneven distribution of the plating solution on the workpiece surface. This leads to uneven distribution of the plating layer on the workpiece surface, affecting the appearance and performance of the product. Therefore, we propose a uniform gold plating device for circuit board processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a uniform gold plating device for circuit board processing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a uniform gold plating apparatus for circuit board processing, comprising an electroplating tank, and further comprising...

[0006] An electroplating suspension structure is provided inside an electroplating tank. The electroplating suspension structure includes a cylindrical suspension frame and hooks. The hooks are fixed to the outer wall of the cylindrical suspension frame inside the electroplating tank. A support arm is provided above the electroplating tank, and a second motor is installed at the top of the support arm. The output end of the second motor extends into the interior of the support arm and is fitted with a large gear. The top of the cylindrical suspension frame extends into the interior of the support arm and is fitted with a small gear. The small gear meshes tightly with the large gear.

[0007] The lower ring pipe is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the electroplating tank, and the inner wall of the lower ring pipe is provided with equally spaced liquid suction ports. The upper ring pipe is installed on the inner wall of the top of the electroplating tank, and the bottom end of the upper ring pipe is provided with equally spaced liquid discharge ports.

[0009] A lifting mechanism is provided on one side of the electroplating tank. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting frame, a lead screw, and a first motor.

[0011] Preferably, the filter cartridge has a filter element inside, and the filter element has a hollow cylindrical structure.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the filter cartridge is threaded with a sealing cap, and the bottom of the sealing cap is provided with a liquid inlet chamber. A liquid inlet is provided on the outer wall of the filter cartridge on one side of the liquid inlet chamber. Rotating the sealing cap can open the filter cartridge, thereby facilitating the removal and replacement of the filter element.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] The circuit board is hung on a hook on the outer wall of the cylindrical suspension frame. The first motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the support arm to move the electroplating suspension structure down into the electroplating tank, immersing the circuit board in the electroplating solution. The circulation pump operates, causing the first circulation pipe to draw out the electroplating solution from the bottom of the electroplating tank through the lower ring pipe and the suction port. The electroplating solution enters the inlet chamber from the inlet, then enters the filter element, and is discharged after being filtered by the filter element. The filter element removes impurities, improving the purity of the electroplating solution and thus improving the quality of electroplating. The second circulation pipe and the infusion pipe guide the electroplating solution into the upper ring pipe. The electroplating solution flows evenly back into the electroplating tank from the drain port. By forcibly circulating the electroplating solution, the chemical components in the liquid are evenly distributed, preventing local concentration differences. At the same time, the second motor drives the large gear to rotate, and the large gear drives the cylindrical suspension frame to rotate through the small gear, causing the circuit board to rotate. This ensures that the circuit board is evenly contacted with the electroplating solution, preventing the electroplating solution from accumulating in specific areas and ensuring that the electroplating solution is evenly distributed on the surface of the workpiece, thereby improving the uniformity of gold plating.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model provides: a uniform gold plating device for circuit board processing, including an electroplating tank 1, and further comprising...

[0026] Electroplating suspension structure 2 is installed inside the electroplating tank 1. Electroplating suspension structure 2 includes a cylindrical suspension frame 201 and a hook 202. The hook 202 is fixed to the outer wall of the cylindrical suspension frame 201 inside the electroplating tank 1. A support arm 12 is provided above the electroplating tank 1, and a second motor 19 is installed at the top of the support arm 12. The output end of the second motor 19 extends into the interior of the support arm 12 and is fitted with a large gear 18. The top of the cylindrical suspension frame 201 extends into the interior of the support arm 12 and is fitted with a small gear 17. The small gear 17 meshes tightly with the large gear 18.

[0027] Specifically, the circuit board is hung on the hook 202 on the outer wall of the cylindrical suspension frame 201. The setting of the limiting groove 203 can limit the circuit board and prevent it from shifting. The first motor 16 drives the lead screw 15 to rotate, so that the support arm 12 drives the electroplating suspension structure 2 to move down into the electroplating tank 1 and immerse the circuit board in the electroplating solution.

[0028] The second motor 19 drives the large gear 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the cylindrical suspension frame 201 to rotate via the small gear 17. This causes the circuit board to rotate, ensuring uniform contact between the circuit board and the electroplating solution. This prevents the electroplating solution from accumulating in specific areas and ensures that the electroplating solution is evenly distributed on the workpiece surface, thereby improving the uniformity of gold plating.

[0029] The lower ring pipe 3 is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the electroplating tank 1, and the inner wall of the lower ring pipe 3 is provided with equally spaced liquid suction ports 4. The upper ring pipe 10 is installed on the inner wall of the top of the electroplating tank 1, and the bottom end of the upper ring pipe 10 is provided with equally spaced liquid discharge ports 11.

[0030] A circulation pump 8 is installed on one side of the top of the electroplating tank 1. A filter cartridge 6 is provided below the circulation pump 8, and a first circulation pipe 5 is installed on the outer wall of the filter cartridge 6.

[0031] Specifically, the operation of the circulation pump 8 causes the first circulation pipe 5 to draw out the electroplating solution from the bottom of the electroplating tank 1 through the lower ring pipe 3 and the suction port 4. The electroplating solution enters the inlet chamber 22 from the inlet port 23, and then enters the filter element 20. After being filtered by the filter element 20, it is discharged. The filter element 20 filters out the impurities inside, which can improve the purity of the electroplating solution and thus improve the quality of electroplating. Then, the electroplating solution is introduced into the upper ring pipe 10 through the second circulation pipe 7 and the delivery pipe 9. The electroplating solution flows back into the electroplating tank 1 evenly from the drain port 11. By forcibly circulating the electroplating solution, the chemical components in the liquid are evenly distributed, and local concentration differences are prevented.

[0032] The lifting mechanism 13 is located on one side of the electroplating tank 1. The lifting mechanism 13 includes a lifting frame 14, a lead screw 15, and a first motor 16.

[0033] The lead screw 15 is installed inside the lifting frame 14 on one side of the electroplating tank 1. The first motor 16 is installed at the output end of the lead screw 15. One end of the support arm 12 extends into the interior of the lifting frame 14 and is threadedly engaged with the lead screw 15.

[0034] The filter cartridge 6 is equipped with a filter element 20, and the filter element 20 has a hollow cylindrical structure.

[0035] The top of the filter cartridge 6 is threaded with a sealing cap 21, and the bottom of the sealing cap 21 is provided with a liquid inlet chamber 22. The outer wall of the filter cartridge 6 on one side of the liquid inlet chamber 22 is provided with a liquid inlet 23. Rotating the sealing cap 21 can open the filter cartridge 6, thereby facilitating the removal and replacement of the filter element 20.

[0036] One end of the first circulation pipe 5 is connected to the liquid inlet 23, and the other end of the first circulation pipe 5 extends into the interior of the electroplating tank 1 and is connected to the lower ring pipe 3.

[0037] The input and output ends of the circulating pump 8 are respectively equipped with a second circulation pipe 7 and an infusion pipe 9, and the second circulation pipe 7 is connected to the bottom of the filter cartridge 6, and the infusion pipe 9 is connected to the upper ring pipe 10.

[0038] The bottom of the hook 202 is provided with a limiting groove 203, and the limiting groove 203 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, the circuit board is first hung on the hook 202 on the outer wall of the cylindrical suspension frame 201. The limiting groove 203 limits the circuit board and prevents it from shifting. The first motor 16 drives the lead screw 15 to rotate, causing the support arm 12 to move the electroplating suspension structure 2 down into the electroplating tank 1, immersing the circuit board in the electroplating solution. Then, during the electroplating process, the circulation pump 8 operates, causing the first circulation pipe 5 to draw out the electroplating solution from the bottom of the electroplating tank 1 through the lower ring pipe 3 and the suction port 4. The electroplating solution enters the inlet chamber 22 from the inlet port 23, and then enters the filter element 20. After being filtered by the filter element 20, it is discharged. The filter element 20 filters out the impurities inside, which can improve the purity of the electroplating solution. This improves the quality of electroplating. The electroplating solution is then introduced into the upper ring pipe 10 through the second circulation pipe 7 and the infusion pipe 9. The electroplating solution flows back evenly into the electroplating tank 1 from the drain port 11. By forcibly circulating the electroplating solution, the chemical components in the liquid are evenly distributed, preventing local concentration differences. At the same time, the second motor 19 drives the large gear 18 to rotate, and the large gear 18 drives the cylindrical suspension frame 201 to rotate through the small gear 17, causing the circuit board to rotate. This ensures that the circuit board is evenly in contact with the electroplating solution, preventing the electroplating solution from accumulating in specific areas and ensuring that the electroplating solution is evenly distributed on the surface of the workpiece, thereby improving the uniformity of gold plating. Furthermore, rotating the sealing cover 21 can open the filter cartridge 6, making it easy to remove and replace the filter element 20.

[0040] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
