Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, specifically an electroplating tank filtration device. Background Technology
[0002] In electroplating, the purity of the plating solution plays a crucial role in the plating quality. With the development of the electroplating industry, the performance requirements for electroplating tank filtration devices are also increasing. However, existing electroplating tank filtration devices have many shortcomings.
[0003] During prolonged filtration, pressure imbalances can easily occur on both sides of the filter element due to clogging or other factors, potentially damaging the filter element and affecting its filtration efficiency and lifespan. Once the filter element is damaged, impurities in the electroplating solution cannot be effectively intercepted, thus affecting the quality of the electroplated products and increasing the defect rate.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a mechanism that can adjust the pressure of the environment in which the filter is located to ensure that the filter can be used safely and normally. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 An electroplating tank filtration device includes multiple interconnected pipes, namely, an inlet pipe 1, an outlet pipe 2, a pressure relief pipe 3, and an impurity collection pipe 4, one end of which is fixedly connected.
[0025] A conveying cover 5 is fixedly installed on the inlet pipe 1. A conveying motor 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the conveying cover 5. An impeller 12 is installed inside the conveying cover 5. The output shaft of the conveying motor 6 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the impeller 12. During operation, the electroplating solution to be filtered is introduced through the input end of the inlet pipe 1. Under the action of the impeller 12 driven by the conveying motor 6, the electroplating solution enters the outlet pipe 2 through the inlet pipe 1.
[0026] A filter body 15 is installed inside the liquid outlet pipe 2. A fine-tuning pressure-maintaining mechanism is provided on the outside of the filter body 15, while a coarse pressure-maintaining mechanism is provided inside the pressure relief pipe 3.
[0027] The impurity collection pipe 4 is fixedly equipped with a collection hopper 13, and its output end is fixedly connected to the impurity discharge pipe 11. During the filtration process of the electroplating solution, the waste residue will fall into the collection hopper 13 in the impurity collection pipe 4 for collection. The waste residue can be discharged by simply opening the valve on the impurity discharge pipe 11 periodically.
[0028] The coarse pressure holding mechanism includes a return channel 16 located within the outlet pipe 2. The output end of the return channel 16 is fixedly connected to a return pipe 9, which is connected to the input end of the inlet pipe 1. When the pressure in the outlet pipe 2 is too high, the electro-hydraulic actuator 10 retracts, causing the sealing element at its telescopic end to disengage from the return channel 16. The return channel 16 then opens, allowing the electroplating solution to flow from the return channel 16 into the return pipe 9 and back into the inlet pipe 1, achieving significant pressure relief. After pressure relief is complete, the electro-hydraulic actuator 10 resets.
[0029] The filter body 15 is externally fitted with a sealed outer shell 14, which is sealed together and embedded in the outlet pipe 2. A pressure-holding cover 7 is fixedly installed on the outside of the sealed outer shell 14, forming a pressure-holding cavity filled with fluorosilicone oil. Multiple fine-tuning pressure-holding components 8 are fixedly installed on the pressure-holding cover 7. The sealed outer shell 14 is made of nickel-titanium alloy, which deforms under pressure and gradually recovers after the pressure is released. Its fine-tuning pressure-holding component 8 consists of a cylindrical part 17 with one end open, which is connected to the pressure-holding cavity. A telescopic part 18 is provided inside the cylindrical part 17, and the telescopic end of the telescopic part 18 is connected to a piston 19, which can slide inside the cylindrical part 17. As the filter body 15 continues to work, its filtration capacity changes, which in turn causes the speed at which the electroplating solution passes through the filter body 15 to change, resulting in pressure changes in the outlet pipe 2. When the pressure is too high, it can easily cause the filter body 15 to loosen between the filter body 15 and the sealed outer shell 14, and may even damage the filter body 15. In this case, in addition to relieving pressure through the coarse pressure holding mechanism, when the pressure in the outlet pipe 2 increases, the filter body 15 will expand, generating an outward expansion force on the sealed outer shell 14, causing it to deform outward and thus relieving pressure. Simultaneously, the pressure in the pressure holding chamber increases, forcing the telescopic component 18 to contract. Once the pressure in the outlet pipe 2 returns to normal, the telescopic component 18 inside the cylindrical component 17 resets, driving the piston 19 to move, pressurizing the pressure holding chamber, and applying inward pressure to the sealed outer shell 14, causing it to reset.
[0030] The aforementioned telescopic component 18 can be a hydraulic rod.
[0031] Specifically, pressure is sensed using a pressure sensor located inside the outlet pipe 2. The pressure sensor is connected to an external controller, which controls the operation of the electro-hydraulic actuator 10 and the telescopic component 18. A control interface is provided at the end of the cylindrical component 17, which is used to connect to the telescopic component 19.
[0032] In operation, the conveyor motor 6 is started, driving the impeller 12 to rotate. This draws the electroplating solution to be filtered from the inlet end of the inlet pipe 1 and pushes it to the outlet pipe 2. The electroplating solution is then filtered through the filter body 15 in the outlet pipe 2 and discharged, completing the filtration process. During filtration, waste residue in the electroplating solution falls into the collection hopper 13 inside the impurity collection pipe 4 under gravity.
[0033] During the filtration process, the pressure inside the outlet pipe 2 is monitored in real time. When the pressure sensor detects excessive pressure in the outlet pipe 2, the control system issues a command to retract the electro-hydraulic actuator 10, causing the sealing element to disengage from the return channel 16, opening the return channel 16. At this time, the electroplating solution flows from the return channel 16 into the return pipe 9 under pressure, and then flows back into the inlet pipe 1, significantly reducing the pressure inside the outlet pipe 2 and completing the coarse pressure holding operation. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure inside the outlet pipe 2 has returned to normal, the control system issues a command to reset the electro-hydraulic actuator 10, and the sealing element re-closes the return channel 16.
[0034] Similarly, during the filtration process, as the filter body 15 continues to operate, its filtration capacity changes, leading to a change in the flow rate of the electroplating solution and a change in the pressure inside the outlet pipe 2. When the pressure increases, the filter body 15 expands, generating an outward expansion force on the sealed outer shell 14, causing the sealed outer shell 14 to deform outward and achieve a certain degree of pressure relief. At the same time, the pressure inside the pressure holding chamber increases accordingly, forcing the telescopic component 18 in the fine-tuning pressure holding assembly 8 to contract. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure inside the outlet pipe 2 has returned to normal, the telescopic component 18 in the fine-tuning pressure holding assembly 8 automatically resets, driving the piston 19 to move and pressurize the pressure holding chamber, thereby applying inward pressure to the sealed outer shell 14, causing the sealed outer shell 14 to return to its initial position, completing the fine-tuning pressure holding operation, ensuring the sealing performance between the filter body 15 and the sealed outer shell 14, and ensuring the normal working condition of the filter body 15.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
