Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating tank technology, and in particular to an electroplating tank with temperature monitoring function. Background Technology

[0002] An electroplating tank is a container used in the electroplating process to hold the electroplating solution, anode, and workpiece to be plated. It is one of the most important infrastructure components in electroplating production, primarily used to achieve the electrochemical reaction between the electroplating solution and the workpiece, thereby forming a uniform metal coating on the workpiece surface. An electroplating tank mainly consists of the tank body, anode and cathode systems, inlet and outlet systems, a power supply system, and other auxiliary devices. These auxiliary devices mainly include heating / cooling devices, stirring devices, and exhaust devices, which enable the electroplating tank to hold the electroplating solution, fix the workpiece and anode, maintain electroplating conditions, achieve electric field distribution, and facilitate circulation and drainage. In actual electroplating production, the temperature control of the electroplating solution is mainly achieved through the heating and cooling devices, while the inlet and outlet systems are located between the tank body and the heating and cooling devices, working with pipes and pumps to achieve the circulation and filtration of the electroplating solution.

[0003] However, the temperature control function of existing electroplating tanks is usually achieved by using a temperature control device to control the overall temperature of the electroplating solution inside the tank. The conveying system transports the electroplating solution to the temperature control device through a main conveying pipeline for temperature adjustment, and then the electroplating solution adjusted to the preset temperature is uniformly transported back to the tank. This temperature control method is inefficient and can only be applied to electroplating production under a single temperature condition, lacking versatility and flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an electroplating tank with temperature monitoring function to address the technical problems of insufficient versatility and flexibility of the existing temperature control function of electroplating tanks.

[0005] An electroplating tank with temperature monitoring function includes a base, a first tank body, a second tank body, a pure water tank, several drive modules, a temperature control module, and a control box. The first tank body, the second tank body, the pure water tank, the several drive modules, the temperature control module, and the control box are all disposed on the top side surface of the base. The several drive modules are respectively connected to the first tank body, the second tank body, and the pure water tank in a one-to-one correspondence. The control box is electrically connected to the several drive modules and the temperature control module respectively. The temperature control module is disposed between the several drive modules and the first tank body and the second tank body.

[0006] The temperature control module includes a temperature control device and several temperature detection components. The temperature control device is installed on the base. The output ends of several drive modules are connected to the input ends of the temperature control device. The output ends of the temperature control device are respectively connected to the input ends of the first tank and the second tank. Several temperature detection components correspond one-to-one with the first tank and the second tank, and are respectively disposed on the side walls of the first tank and the second tank.

[0007] In one embodiment, each of the temperature detection components described above includes a sampling pipe and a temperature sensor. The two ends of the sampling pipes are respectively connected to the wall of the corresponding first tank and the wall of the corresponding second tank. The temperature sensor is disposed on the pipe wall of the corresponding sampling pipe, and the temperature sensor is respectively communicatively connected to the control box.

[0008] In one embodiment, each of the temperature detection components described above further includes a flow meter disposed in the corresponding sampling pipe.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first tank is configured as two, with the input ends of the two first tanks respectively connected to the output end of the temperature control device through two independent pipes, and the output ends of the two first tanks respectively connected to the input ends of two corresponding drive modules through pipes.

[0010] In one embodiment, the second tank is provided with three sub-tanks. The input ends of the three sub-tanks are connected to the output end of the temperature control device through a main input pipe, and the output ends of the three sub-tanks are respectively connected to the input ends of three corresponding drive modules.

[0011] In one embodiment, the three sub-slots are arranged sequentially along a straight line.

[0012] In one embodiment, the output terminals of the three drive modules corresponding to the three sub-slots are connected to the input terminal of the temperature control device through a main output pipe, thereby forming a complete loop.

[0013] In one embodiment, each of the above-mentioned drive modules includes a water pump and a filter. The input ends of the plurality of water pumps are respectively connected to the output end pipes of the corresponding first tank, second tank and pure water tank; the output end of each water pump is connected to the input end of the corresponding filter; and the output end pipe of each filter is connected to the input end of the temperature control device.

[0014] In one embodiment, each of the above-described drive modules further includes a pump frame, with a plurality of pump frames respectively mounted on the top side surface of the base, a corresponding water pump mounted on the bottom of the pump frame, and a corresponding filter mounted on the top of the pump frame.

[0015] In one embodiment, each of the first grooves is provided with a fixing seat, which is located at both ends of the top of the first groove.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second groove is provided with a movable seat, which spans the top of the three sub-grooves.

[0017] The aforementioned electroplating tank with temperature control function uses a temperature control module to adjust the temperature of the electroplating solution output from each drive module before supplying it to the first and second tanks, thereby maintaining a constant temperature of the electroplating solution. The temperature control module includes a temperature control device and several temperature detection components, which are respectively installed on the side walls of the first and second tanks to monitor the electroplating solution inside the tanks in real time and transmit the detection data to a control box. The control box controls the drive modules to circulate the electroplating solution based on the temperature data, while the temperature control device heats or cools the electroplating solution to the target temperature, thus achieving the temperature monitoring function of the electroplating tank. Compared to traditional electroplating tanks, this invention equips the first and second tanks with separate drive modules, enabling independent circulation of the electroplating solution in the first and second tanks. Based on this, the temperature control device can independently adjust the temperature of the independently circulating electroplating solution, thereby improving the targeting and flexibility of the temperature control device for electroplating solution temperature control, and ultimately enhancing the versatility of the electroplating tank in production operations.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model discloses an electroplating tank with temperature monitoring function. The electroplating tank includes a base 100, a first tank 200, a second tank 300, a pure water tank 400, several drive modules 500, a temperature control module 600, and a control box 700. The first tank 200, second tank 300, pure water tank 400, several drive modules 500, temperature control module 600, and control box 700 are all disposed on the top side surface of the base 100. The several drive modules 500 are respectively connected to the first tank 200, second tank 300, and pure water tank 400 in a one-to-one correspondence. The control box 700 is electrically connected to the several drive modules 500 and the temperature control module 600, thereby enabling temperature monitoring. Under the automatic control of the control box 700, the drive module 500 can drive the pure water in the pure water tank 400 to be delivered to the first tank 200 and the second tank 300 to replenish the water in the first tank 200 and the second tank 300. The drive module 500 can also drive the electroplating solution in the first tank 200 and the second tank 300 to filter and circulate, thereby maintaining the recycling of the electroplating solution. The temperature control module 600 is set between the drive modules 500 and the first tank 200 and the second tank 300. Thus, the electroplating solution output by each drive module 500 is temperature-adjusted by the temperature control module 600 before being delivered to the first tank 200 and the second tank 300, thereby maintaining a constant temperature of the electroplating solution. Specifically, the temperature control module 600 includes a temperature control device 610 and several temperature detection components. The temperature control device 610 is installed on the base 100. The output ends of several drive modules 500 are connected to the input ends of the temperature control device 610. The output ends of the temperature control device 610 are respectively connected to the input ends of the first tank 200 and the second tank 300. The several temperature detection components correspond one-to-one with the first tank 200 and the second tank 300, and are respectively set on the side walls of the first tank 200 and the second tank 300 to monitor the electroplating solution inside the tank in real time and transmit the detection data to the control box 700. The control box 700 controls the drive modules 500 to drive the electroplating solution circulation based on the temperature data. At the same time, the temperature control device 610 heats or cools the electroplating solution to the target temperature, thereby realizing the temperature monitoring function of the electroplating tank. Compared to traditional electroplating tanks, the electroplating tank of this invention equips the first tank 200 and the second tank 300 with drive modules 500 respectively, thereby enabling independent circulation of the electroplating solution in the first tank 200 and the second tank 300. Based on this, the temperature control device 610 can independently adjust the temperature of the independently circulating electroplating solution, thereby improving the targeting and flexibility of the temperature control device 610 in controlling the temperature of the electroplating solution, and thus improving the versatility of the electroplating tank in production conditions.

[0028] Furthermore, each temperature detection component includes a sampling pipe 620 and a temperature sensor (not shown). The two ends of the sampling pipes 620 are respectively connected to the walls of the corresponding first tank 200 and the second tank 300. The temperature sensor is disposed on the wall of the corresponding sampling pipe 620, and the temperature sensors are communicatively connected to the control box 700. Thus, the electroplating solution in the first tank 200 and the electroplating solution in the second tank 300 can circulate between the corresponding tanks and the sampling pipes 620, respectively. The corresponding temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the electroplating solution in real time and transmit the detection data to the control box 700 for temperature control. In one embodiment, each temperature detection component also includes a flow meter 630, which is disposed in the corresponding sampling pipe 620 to monitor the flow rate of the electroplating solution flowing inside the sampling pipe 620, so that the operator can determine the temperature uniformity of the electroplating solution inside the corresponding tank based on the flow rate of the sampling pipe 620.

[0029] Furthermore, in one embodiment, two first tanks 200 are provided. The input ends of the two first tanks 200 are respectively connected to the output end of the temperature control device 610 through two independent pipes. The output ends of the two first tanks 200 are respectively connected to the input ends of two corresponding drive modules 500 through pipes. Thus, the temperature control device 610 can independently control the temperature of the two first tanks 200.

[0030] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the second tank 300 is provided with three sub-tanks 310. The input ends of the three sub-tanks 310 are connected to the output end of the temperature control device 610 through a common input pipe. The output ends of the three sub-tanks 310 are respectively connected to the input ends of three corresponding drive modules 500, thereby enabling the temperature control device 610 to uniformly control the temperature of the electroplating solution in the three sub-tanks 310. In this embodiment, the three sub-tanks 310 are arranged sequentially along a straight line, and the output ends of the three drive modules 500 corresponding to the three sub-tanks 310 are connected to the input ends of the temperature control device 610 through a common output pipe, thus forming a complete circulation loop.

[0031] Furthermore, each drive module 500 includes a water pump 510 and a filter 520. The input ends of the plurality of water pumps 510 are respectively connected to the output end pipes of the corresponding first tank 200, second tank 300, and pure water tank 400; the output end of each water pump 510 is connected to the input end of the corresponding filter 520; and the output end pipe of each filter 520 is connected to the input end of the temperature control device 610. Thus, the plurality of water pumps 510 can drive the fluid in the corresponding first tank 200, second tank 300, and pure water tank 400, while the plurality of filters 520 can filter and purify the fluid, thereby reducing impurities in the electroplating solution. In one embodiment, each drive module 500 also includes a pump frame 530. The plurality of pump frames 530 are respectively installed on the top side surface of the base, the corresponding water pump 510 is installed at the bottom of the pump frame 530, and the corresponding filter 520 is installed at the top of the pump frame 530, thereby achieving stable installation of the water pumps 510 and the filters 520.

[0032] Furthermore, each first tank 200 is provided with a fixing seat 210, which is located at both ends of the top of the first tank 200 for supporting the plated parts.

[0033] Furthermore, the second tank 300 is provided with a movable seat 320, which spans the top of the three sub-tanks 310 to support the plated parts. The movable seat 320 can reciprocate relative to the sub-tanks 310, thereby allowing the plated parts to sway inside the sub-tanks 310.

[0034] In summary, the electroplating tank with temperature control function disclosed in this utility model maintains a constant temperature of the electroplating solution by adjusting the temperature of the electroplating solution output by each drive module before it is delivered to the first and second tanks. The temperature control module includes a temperature control device and several temperature detection components, which are respectively installed on the side walls of the first and second tanks to monitor the electroplating solution inside the tank in real time and transmit the detection data to the control box. Based on the temperature data, the control box controls the drive module to circulate the electroplating solution, while the temperature control device heats or cools the electroplating solution to the target temperature, thus achieving the temperature monitoring function of the electroplating tank. Compared to traditional electroplating tanks, the electroplating tank of this invention equips the first tank and the second tank with drive modules respectively, thereby enabling independent circulation of the electroplating solution in the first tank and the electroplating solution in the second tank. Based on this, the temperature control device can independently adjust the temperature of the independently circulating electroplating solution, thereby improving the targeting and flexibility of the temperature control device for the electroplating solution temperature, and thus improving the versatility of the electroplating tank in production conditions.

[0035] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0036] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
