Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic cell electroplating equipment technology, specifically to an electroplating tank with adjustable track. Background Technology

[0002] In the copper electroplating process of photovoltaic cells, the control of the liquid level in the tank directly affects the uniformity of the coating. In traditional tanks, the track fixing plate and partition are fixedly installed on the base plate, the track is installed on the track fixing plate, and the roller assembly is installed on the track. This makes it difficult to adjust the position of the roller assembly. Moreover, the gap between the track fixing plate and the partition is filled with sealing strips, which are prone to sealing failure, resulting in the liquid level not being able to rise effectively. Therefore, the sealing strips need to be replaced frequently. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4 An example of this utility model provides an adjustable track electroplating tank, including a base plate 1, side plates 2 surrounding the base plate 1, a track 3, and two partitions 4. The side plates 2 and the track 3 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two partitions 4 are arranged opposite to each other. A fixing block 5 is connected to the inner side of the track 3. The fixing block 5 is connected to the base plate 1 and is connected to the track 3 by bolt thread. The fixing block 5 is provided with a first waist-shaped hole 51, which penetrates the upper and lower sides of the fixing block 5. The length direction of the first waist-shaped hole 51 extends along the length direction perpendicular to the track 3. The width of the first waist-shaped hole 51 is greater than the diameter of the bolt shank and less than the diameter of the bolt head. Connecting blocks 6 are respectively connected to both ends of the fixing block 5. The connecting blocks 6 are provided with grooves 61, which are used to accommodate one end of the partition 4 inserted.

[0024] Understandably, when it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the track 3, first loosen the bolt installed in the first waist-shaped hole 51, then move the fixing block 5, connecting block 6 and track 3 closer to or further away from the side plate 2 as a whole. The track 3 drives the roller assembly to move synchronously. At the same time, the partition 4 slides in the groove 61. Finally, tighten the bolt to fix the fixing block 5 back to the base plate 1. On the one hand, it is convenient to adjust the horizontal position of the roller assembly to adapt to workpieces of different specifications. On the other hand, one end of the partition 4 is always located in the groove 61, thereby improving the sealing performance of the groove and avoiding frequent replacement of the sealing strip.

[0025] In some preferred embodiments, the track 3 is connected to the fixing block 5 by bolt thread. The fixing block 5 is also provided with a second oblong hole 52, which passes through the left and right sides of the fixing block 5. The length direction of the second oblong hole 52 extends in the vertical direction, and the width of the second oblong hole 52 is greater than the diameter of the bolt shank and smaller than the diameter of the bolt head.

[0026] Understandably, when it is necessary to adjust the vertical position of the track 3, first loosen the bolt installed in the second oblong hole 52, then move the track 3 up or down, and the track 3 drives the roller assembly to move up or down synchronously. Finally, tighten the bolt to fix the track 3 back to the fixing block 5. Thus, the vertical position of the roller assembly can be adjusted to adapt to different workpieces or different electroplating process conditions.

[0027] In some preferred embodiments, a baffle plate 7 is connected to the inner side of the partition 4, and the baffle plate 7 is connected to the base plate 1, thereby facilitating the installation and fixing of the partition 4.

[0028] Furthermore, the lower part of the connecting block 6 protrudes towards one end of the partition 4 to form a protrusion 62, so that the connecting block 6 forms an L-shaped structure, and the outer side of the baffle 7 abuts against the inner side of the protrusion 62.

[0029] Understandably, when it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the track 3, the fixing block 5, the track 3, and the connecting block 6 are moved as a whole, and the connecting block 6 moves relative to the baffle plate 7. During this process, the inner side of the protrusion 62 is always in contact with the outer side of the baffle plate 7, thereby preventing leakage from the electroplating tank.

[0030] In some preferred embodiments, the outer side of the baffle plate 7 is provided with a recessed portion 71, which abuts against the inner side of the protrusion 62, so that the outer side of the baffle plate 7 and the inner side of the connecting block 6 are not on the same plane, ensuring that the end of the partition plate 4 can be inserted into the groove 61 on the connecting block 6.

[0031] In some preferred embodiments, the baffle plate 7 and the partition plate 4 are connected by bolt threads. The partition plate 4 is provided with a third oblong hole 41. The length direction of the third oblong hole 41 extends in the vertical direction. The width of the third oblong hole 41 is greater than the diameter of the bolt shank and less than the diameter of the bolt head. Thus, the position of the partition plate 4 in the vertical direction can be adjusted to meet the needs of different specifications or electroplating processes.

[0032] In some preferred embodiments, both the partition 4 and the connecting block 6 are made of PPN material, where PPN is a propylene polymer. Compared with ordinary PP material, PPN material has stronger corrosion resistance and can prevent corrosion of the electroplating liquid in the electroplating tank.

[0033] Furthermore, an interference fit is used between one end of the partition plate 4 and the groove 61, so that the contact surface between the two generates elastic compressive stress, which can effectively fill the tiny gaps in the fit, thereby achieving a seal.

[0034] In some preferred embodiments, a first sealing groove 53 is provided below the side of the fixing block 5 near the track 3. The first sealing groove 53 is used to install a sealing strip, which can simultaneously seal the gap between the fixing block 5 and the base plate 1 and the gap between the fixing block 5 and the track 3 to prevent leakage of the groove.

[0035] Furthermore, a second sealing groove 54 is provided in the middle of the side of the fixing block 5 near the track 3. The second sealing groove 54 is used to install a sealing strip. When the track 3 is adjusted upward, the track 3 separates from the sealing strip on the first sealing groove 53. At this time, the sealing strip on the second sealing groove 54 can seal the gap between the fixing block 5 and the track 3, thereby preventing the seal from failing.

[0036] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
