Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electroplating technology, and more specifically, relates to a hanger and electroplating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the electroplating process of glass substrates, the mounting bracket is a key component that supports the glass substrate. The rationality and stability of its structural design directly affect the quality and efficiency of the electroplating process. Traditional mounting bracket structures have poor stability and are prone to deformation during electroplating. This deformation can lead to uneven stress on the glass substrate, which in turn can cause the glass substrate to crack, resulting in decreased product yield and increased production costs. Utility Model Content

The frame includes a first frame plate, a second frame plate, a first side plate, and a second side plate. The first frame plate and the second frame plate are disposed opposite to each other, and the first side plate and the second side plate are disposed opposite to each other. Both ends of the first side plate are rigidly connected to one end of the first frame plate and the second frame plate, respectively, and both ends of the second side plate are rigidly connected to the other end of the first frame plate and the second frame plate, respectively, so that the first frame plate, the second frame plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate enclose a closed frame structure. The first frame plate, the second frame plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate are all provided with the fixing clips.

[0006] Optionally, the two ends of the first side plate are screwed to one end of the first frame plate and the second frame plate, respectively, and the two ends of the second side plate are screwed to the other end of the first frame plate and the second frame plate, respectively.

[0007] Optionally, a plurality of fixing clips are provided at intervals on the first frame plate, the second frame plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate.

[0008] Optionally, the fixing clip includes:

[0009] The first gripper has a first gripping surface;

[0010] The second gripper has a second gripping surface; the second gripping surface faces the first gripping surface and is set at a preset angle to the first gripping surface;

[0011] A fastener is disposed on one of the first frame plate, the second frame plate, the first side plate and the second side plate, and is connected to the first gripper.

[0012] A movable component is connected to the second gripper and movably connected to the fixing member; when the movable component moves relative to the fixing member, it drives the second gripper to move between a closed position and an open position while maintaining a preset angle; in the closed position, the second clamping surface is disposed opposite to the first clamping surface for clamping the glass substrate; in the open position, the second clamping surface is misaligned with the first clamping surface, so that the first clamping surface is fully exposed; and

[0013] A reset member connects the fixing member and the movable component, the reset member being used to provide a force that causes the movable component to move the second gripper from the open position to the closed position.

[0014] Optionally, the first clamping surface is provided with a first buffer pad; and / or, the second clamping surface is provided with a second buffer pad.

[0015] Optionally, the fastener is screwed to one of the first frame plate, the second frame plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate.

[0016] Optionally, the movable component includes a first linkage, a second linkage, and a third linkage. The first linkage and the third linkage are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. The second linkage and the fixing member are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. One end of the first linkage, the second linkage, the third linkage, the fixing member, and the other end of the first linkage are sequentially hinged together.

This significantly improves the rigidity and deformation resistance of the overall frame structure. When bearing a glass substrate, it can effectively resist external forces, reduce deformation and shaking, and effectively ensure the safety and stability of the glass substrate during the bearing process. In addition, by setting fixing clips on the first frame plate, the second frame plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate, multiple fixing clips clamp the four edges of the glass substrate, achieving multi-directional positioning and ensuring that the glass substrate can be firmly fixed on the bracket, preventing slippage or displacement during the electroplating process. It is understood that the combination of the closed frame and multiple fixing clips greatly improves the reliability of the bracket in bearing the glass substrate, which helps to reduce the risk of glass substrate breakage, thereby improving the yield rate of glass substrates and reducing production costs.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 The bracket provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described. The bracket is used to support the glass substrate 400.

[0034] Please see Figure 1The bracket includes a frame 100 and multiple fixing clips 200. The frame 100 includes a first shelf 101, a second shelf 102, a first side plate 103, and a second side plate 104. The first shelf 101 and the second shelf 102 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side plate 103 and the second side plate 104 are arranged opposite to each other. The two ends of the first side plate 103 are rigidly connected to one end of the first shelf 101 and the second shelf 102, respectively. The two ends of the second side plate 104 are rigidly connected to the other ends of the first shelf 101 and the second shelf 102, respectively, so that the first shelf 101, the second shelf 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104 enclose a closed frame structure. The first shelf 101, the second shelf 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104 are all provided with fixing clips 200.

[0035] When using this bracket to support the glass substrate 400, the glass substrate 400 is placed within the opening area enclosed by the first bracket 101, the second bracket 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104, with the four edges of the glass substrate 400 close to the inner sides of the first bracket 101, the second bracket 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104, respectively. Then, by operating the fixing clip 200, the fixing clip 200 is tightly clamped to the edge of the glass substrate 400, thereby firmly fixing the glass substrate 400 to the bracket.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the bracket provided in this application has a frame 100 that is rigidly connected end-to-end by a first frame plate 101, a second frame plate 102, a first side plate 103, and a second side plate 104, forming a closed and stable frame structure. This significantly improves the rigidity and deformation resistance of the overall frame 100 structure. When supporting the glass substrate 400, it can effectively resist external forces, reduce deformation and shaking, and effectively ensure the safety and stability of the glass substrate 400 during the bearing process. In addition, by setting fixing clips 200 on the first frame plate 101, the second frame plate 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104, multiple fixing clips 200 respectively clamp the four edges of the glass substrate 400 to achieve multi-directional positioning, ensuring that the glass substrate 400 can be firmly fixed on the bracket and preventing slippage or displacement during the electroplating process. Furthermore, the fixing clips 200 around the glass substrate 400 work together to distribute the weight of the glass substrate 400 and any external forces to multiple clamping points, effectively preventing deformation or breakage due to excessive localized stress. Understandably, the combination of the enclosed frame 100 and multiple fixing clips 200 significantly improves the reliability of the bracket in supporting the glass substrate 400, reducing the risk of breakage and thus improving the yield rate and reducing production costs.

[0037] Optionally, the first shelf 101, the second shelf 102, the first side panel 103, and the second side panel 104 are all metal plates.

[0038] Combined with appendix Figure 1 It is understood that the two ends of the first side plate 103 are screwed to one end of the first frame plate 101 and the second frame plate 102, respectively, and the two ends of the second side plate 104 are screwed to the other ends of the first frame plate 101 and the second frame plate 102, respectively. The first side plate 103 and the first frame plate 101, the first side plate 103 and the second frame plate 102, the second side plate 104 and the first frame plate 101, and the second side plate 104 and the second frame plate 102 are rigidly connected by screws, ensuring a stable connection and facilitating the assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the frame 100. Alternatively, the two ends of the first side plate 103 can be welded to one end of the first frame plate 101 and the second frame plate 102, respectively, and the two ends of the second side plate 104 can be welded to the other ends of the first frame plate 101 and the second frame plate 102, respectively.

[0039] Combined with appendix Figure 1 It is understood that multiple fixing clips 200 are spaced apart on the first mounting plate 101, the second mounting plate 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104. By spaced apart on the first mounting plate 101, the second mounting plate 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104, when the glass substrate 400 is clamped, the four edges of the glass substrate 400 can be subjected to a more comprehensive and balanced clamping force, which greatly reduces the risk of the glass substrate 400 breaking due to stress concentration; at the same time, it enhances the ability of the bracket to resist vibration and impact, ensuring the high safety and stability of the glass substrate 400 during the load-bearing process.

[0040] Optionally, four fixing clips 200 are spaced apart on the first shelf 101, and two fixing clips 200 are spaced apart on the second shelf 102. Three fixing clips 200 are spaced apart on both the first side plate 103 and the second side plate 104, and the multiple three-clip fixing clips 200 on the first side plate 103 correspond one-to-one with the three-clip fixing clips 200 on the second side plate 104.

[0041] Combined with appendix Figure 2It is understood that the fixing clamp 200 includes a first clamping jaw 10, a second clamping jaw 20, a fixing member 30, a movable component 40, and a resetting member 50. The first clamping jaw 10 has a first clamping surface 11; the second clamping jaw 20 has a second clamping surface 21; the second clamping surface 21 faces the first clamping surface 11 and is set at a preset angle to the first clamping surface 11; the fixing member 30 is disposed on one of the first frame plate 101, the second frame plate 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104, and is connected to the first clamping jaw 10; the movable component 40 is connected to the second clamping jaw 20 and is movably connected to the fixing member 30; when the movable component 40 moves relative to the fixing member 30, it carries... The second gripper 20 moves between the closed and open positions with a preset angle remaining constant. In the closed position, the second clamping surface 21 is positioned opposite to the first clamping surface 11 to clamp the glass substrate 400. In the open position, the second clamping surface 21 is misaligned with the first clamping surface 11, so that the first clamping surface 11 is fully exposed. The reset member 50 connects the fixing member 30 and the movable component 40. The reset member 50 is used to provide a force that causes the movable component 40 to drive the second gripper 20 from the open position to the closed position.

[0042] The second clamping surface 21 being positioned opposite to the first clamping surface 11 means that the orthographic projection of the second clamping surface 21 at least partially coincides with the orthographic projection of the first clamping surface 11. The second clamping surface 21 being misaligned with the first clamping surface 11 means that the orthographic projection of the second clamping surface 21 does not coincide with the orthographic projection of the first clamping surface 11, resulting in the first clamping surface 11 being completely exposed.

[0043] For example, the fixing clamp 200 is placed horizontally with the first clamping surface 11 facing upwards. When the fixing clamp 200 is not clamping the glass substrate 400, the second clamping claw 20 is in the closed position, that is, the second clamping surface 21 and the first clamping surface 11 are arranged parallel to each other in the vertical direction. Figure 3 When it is necessary to clamp the glass substrate 400, an external force is applied to the movable component 40 relative to the fixed component 30. The movable component 40 drives the second gripper 20 to move from the closed position to the open position with a preset angle remaining unchanged. At this time, the second clamping surface 21 is misaligned with the first clamping surface 11, so that the first clamping surface 11 is completely exposed, thereby forming an unobstructed picking and placing space above the first clamping surface 11. Figure 4An operator or robotic arm can place the portion of the glass substrate 400 to be clamped from the pick-and-place space onto the first clamping surface 11. After the glass substrate 400 is placed in place, the external force on the movable component 40 is released. Under the action of the reset component 50, the movable component 40 moves in the opposite direction to the fixed component 30. The movable component 40 drives the second gripper 20 to move from the open position to the closed position with a preset angle that remains unchanged. At this time, the second clamping surface 21 is positioned opposite to the first clamping surface 11, and a gap adapted to the thickness of the glass substrate 400 is formed between them to clamp the glass substrate 400. When it is necessary to unload the glass substrate 400, the second gripper 20 is moved from the closed position to the open position again by the movable component 40, and then the glass substrate 400 placed on the first clamping surface 11 is directly removed through the pick-and-place space.

[0044] In the above technical solution, when the fixed clamp 200 moves relative to the fixed member 30 via the movable component 40, it drives the second gripper 20 to move between the closed and open positions with a preset angle remaining unchanged, thereby realizing the action of clamping or releasing the glass substrate 400. Since the second clamping surface 21 is misaligned with the first clamping surface 11 in the open position, the first clamping surface 11 is completely exposed, forming an unobstructed picking and placing space on the facing side of the first clamping surface 11. Thus, the glass substrate 400 can be placed directly and smoothly on the first clamping surface 11 or removed from the first clamping surface 11 through the picking and placing space, effectively avoiding interference between the glass substrate 400 and the second gripper 20 during picking and placing, and significantly improving the convenience and safety of operation. Because the preset angle between the second clamping surface 21 and the first clamping surface 11 remains unchanged during the relative movement of the second clamping jaw 20 relative to the first clamping jaw 10, the clamping angle of the first clamping surface 11 and the second clamping surface 21 on the glass substrate 400 does not change when clamping glass substrates 400 of various thicknesses. This ensures that both the first clamping surface 11 and the second clamping surface 21 can make full contact with the opposite sides of the glass substrate 400, thereby achieving stable and reliable clamping of glass substrates 400 of various thicknesses and effectively preventing deformation and breakage of the glass substrate 400 due to local stress concentration. In addition, by setting the reset member 50, when the second clamping jaw 20 is in the open position, after the external force of the movable component 40 is removed, the movable component 40 automatically drives the second clamping jaw 20 from the open position to the closed position under the action of the reset member 50. No additional manual operation or continuous application of driving force is required, which greatly simplifies the operation process and improves the convenience of operation. Furthermore, during the clamping process of the glass substrate 400, the force continuously provided by the reset member 50 can be converted into a continuous pre-tightening force of the second gripper 20 on the glass substrate 400, ensuring that the second clamping surface 21 and the first clamping surface 11 are stably attached to the opposite sides of the glass substrate 400.

[0045] Combined with appendix Figure 3and Figure 4 It is understood that the preset angle between the first clamping surface 11 and the second clamping surface 21 is set according to the shape of the glass substrate 400. Optionally, the preset angle between the first clamping surface 11 and the second clamping surface 21 is 0°. It is understood that the second clamping surface 21 is arranged parallel to the first clamping surface 11 and is used to clamp the glass substrate 400 with uniform thickness.

[0046] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understood that the fastener 30 is screwed to one of the first frame plate 101, the second frame plate 102, the first side plate 103 and the second side plate 104.

[0047] Specifically, the first frame plate 101, the second frame plate 102, the first side plate 103 or the second side plate 104 are provided with connecting holes, and the fastener 30 is provided with threaded holes. The threaded holes are corresponding to one of the connecting holes, and screws or bolts are passed through the corresponding threaded holes and connecting holes to fix the fixing clip 200 on the first frame plate 101, the second frame plate 102, the first side plate 103 or the second side plate 104.

[0048] The above technical solution, by screwing the fastener 30 to one of the first frame plate 101, the second frame plate 102, the first side plate 103 and the second side plate 104, the pre-tightening force provided by the screwing can ensure the rigid connection between the fastener 30 and the frame 100, effectively avoiding loosening caused by vibration or external force.

[0049] Combined with appendix Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is understood that the first clamping surface 11 is provided with a first buffer pad 60. During the clamping operation of the glass substrate 400 by the second clamping surface 21 cooperating with the first clamping surface 11, the first buffer pad 60 can play a buffering role, effectively avoiding damage to the glass substrate 400 caused by excessive clamping force or instantaneous impact force during clamping, which is beneficial to improving the yield and quality of the glass substrate 400. In addition, the first buffer pad 60 can also increase the friction between the glass substrate 400 and the first clamping surface 11 and absorb the vibration energy during the electroplating process, effectively preventing the glass substrate 400 from sliding or shifting when subjected to external forces, ensuring that the glass substrate 400 maintains a stable position on the hanger, and improving the reliability of clamping.

[0050] Optionally, the first cushioning pad 60 may be, but is not limited to, a sponge pad, a rubber pad, or a foam pad.

[0051] Combined with appendix Figure 3 and Figure 4It is understood that the second clamping surface 21 is provided with a second buffer pad 70. During the clamping operation of the glass substrate 400 by the second clamping surface 21 and the first clamping surface 11, the second buffer pad 70 can play a buffering role, effectively avoiding damage to the glass substrate 400 caused by excessive clamping force or instantaneous impact force during clamping, which is beneficial to improving the yield and quality of the glass substrate 400. In addition, the second buffer pad 70 can also increase the friction between the glass substrate 400 and the second clamping surface 21 and absorb the vibration energy during the electroplating process, effectively preventing the glass substrate 400 from sliding or shifting when subjected to external forces, ensuring that the glass substrate 400 maintains a stable position on the hanger, and improving the reliability of clamping.

[0052] Optionally, the second cushioning pad 70 may be, but is not limited to, a sponge pad, a rubber pad, or a foam pad.

[0053] It should be noted that the materials and thicknesses of the first buffer pad 60 and the second buffer pad 70 are determined according to the actual working conditions to ensure that the first buffer pad 60 and the second buffer pad 70 can play a good buffering role on the glass substrate 400, while keeping the first buffer pad 60 and the second buffer pad 70 within the optimal compression range.

[0054] Combined with appendix Figures 2 to 4 It is understood that the active component 40 includes a first linkage 41, a second linkage 42, and a third linkage 43. The first linkage 41 and the third linkage 43 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The second linkage 42 is arranged in parallel and spaced apart from the fixing member 30. One end of the first linkage 41, the second linkage 42, the third linkage 43, the fixing member 30, and the other end of the first linkage 41 are sequentially hinged together. The second linkage 42 is connected to the second gripper 20. The reset member 50 connects the third linkage 43 and the fixing member 30.

[0055] Specifically, one end of the first linkage 41 is hinged to the fixed member 30 near the first gripper 10, and the other end of the first linkage 41 is hinged to the end of the second linkage 42 near the second gripper 20; one end of the third linkage 43 is hinged to the fixed member 30 away from the first gripper 10, and the other end of the third linkage 43 is hinged to the end of the second linkage 42 away from the second gripper 20, so that the first linkage 41, the second linkage 42, the third linkage 43 and the fixed member 30 together constitute a parallelogram linkage structure.

[0056] For example, when the third linkage 43 is driven to rotate relative to the fixed member 30 around the hinge point between the third linkage 43 and the fixed member 30, according to the characteristics of the parallelogram linkage structure, the rotation of the third linkage 43 will synchronously drive the second linkage 42 to maintain a parallel position relationship with the fixed member 30 and perform corresponding movements. In turn, the second linkage 42 drives the second gripper 20 to move between the closed position and the open position with a preset angle that remains unchanged.

[0057] The above technical solution, by using a parallelogram linkage structure to drive the second gripper 20 to move between the closed and open positions, keeps the preset angle unchanged, and at the same time makes the movement of the second gripper 20 smooth and reliable, reducing the shaking and deviation during the movement. This allows the first clamping surface 11 and the second clamping surface 21 to make accurate and stable full contact with the glass substrate 400, ensuring the accuracy and stability of clamping the glass substrate 400.

[0058] It should be noted that the length and other parameters of the second gripper 20 and the second linkage 42 are adjusted according to the actual working conditions to ensure that the second clamping surface 21 can fully contact the glass substrate 400 with the maximum contact range.

[0059] Combined with appendix Figure 2 It is understood that the fixing member 30 is provided with a protrusion 31, and the protrusion 31 is provided with a limiting groove 32. The movable component 40 also includes a connecting shaft 45, which is movably inserted through the protrusion 31 and the third linkage member 43, so that one end of the third linkage member 43 is hinged to the fixing member 30. The reset member 50 is a torsion spring, which is housed in the limiting groove 32 and sleeved on the connecting shaft 45, and the two ends of the torsion spring abut against the fixing member 30 and the third linkage member 43 respectively.

[0060] The above technical solution, through the cooperation of the limiting groove 32 and the connecting shaft 45, limits the torsion spring, effectively preventing the torsion spring from shifting or falling off during operation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire fixing clamp 200 structure, and enabling the reset component 50 to function continuously and stably. Furthermore, by housing the torsion spring within the limiting groove 32, the reset component 50 is internally integrated, effectively reducing the overall size of the fixing clamp 200.

[0061] Of course, the reset component 50 can also be a tension spring or a spring sheet, etc.

[0062] Combined with appendix Figure 2It is understood that the movable component 40 also includes a pressing member 44, which is connected to the third linkage member 43. Specifically, optionally, one end of the pressing member 44 is connected to the end of the third linkage member 43 near the second linkage member 42. When the pressing member 44 is pressed towards the fixing member 30, the pressing member 44 drives the third linkage member 43 to rotate around the hinge point between the third linkage member 43 and the fixing member 30 towards the fixing member 30. It is understood that by connecting the pressing member 44 to the third linkage member 43, the operator or robotic arm can directly drive the third linkage member 43 to move by operating the pressing member 44, providing a clear and convenient point for applying force to drive the third linkage member 43 to move, thus improving the ease of operation.

[0063] Optionally, the pressing component 44 and the third linkage component 43 are integrally formed. The integrally formed structure effectively ensures the connection strength between the pressing component 44 and the third linkage component 43, and eliminates the need for additional assembly processes, reducing the number of parts and assembly time, and significantly improving production efficiency. Of course, the pressing component 44 can also be connected to the third linkage component 43 by screws or welding.

[0064] Combined with appendix Figure 5 It is understood that the first rack 101 is positioned above the second rack 102, and the rack also includes a slag receiving tray 300, which is positioned on the first rack 101. During the electroplating process, the slag receiving tray 300 is used to collect dripping electroplating solution and waste residue, effectively preventing the electroplating solution and waste residue from dripping onto the glass substrate 400, thus avoiding contamination or scratches on the surface of the glass substrate 400.

[0065] Combined with appendix Figure 5 It is understood that the clamps 200 on the first mounting plate 101 and the second mounting plate 102 are conductive clamps, while the clamps 200 on the first side plate 103 and the second side plate 104 are non-conductive clamps. By using conductive clamps for the clamps 200 on the first mounting plate 101 and the second mounting plate 102, current can be introduced along the upper and lower edges of the glass substrate 400, achieving uniform electroplating on the surface of the glass substrate 400. This reduces the problem of uneven plating thickness caused by excessively strong or weak local current, which is beneficial to improving the electroplating quality. By using non-conductive clamps for the clamps 200 on the first side plate 103 and the second side plate 104, the current is effectively limited to the path that needs to be conducted to the glass substrate 400 through the conductive clamps, ensuring the safety of the glass substrate 400 electroplating production process.

[0066] This application also provides an electroplating apparatus, which includes a hanger according to any of the above embodiments.

[0067] The electroplating equipment provided in this application employs the aforementioned bracket. The frame 100 of the bracket is rigidly connected end-to-end by a first mounting plate 101, a second mounting plate 102, a first side plate 103, and a second side plate 104, forming a closed and stable frame structure. This significantly improves the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the frame 100. When supporting the glass substrate 400, it can effectively resist external forces, reduce deformation and shaking, and effectively ensure the safety and stability of the glass substrate 400 during the supporting process. In addition, by setting fixing clips 200 on the first mounting plate 101, the second mounting plate 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104, multiple fixing clips 200 respectively clamp the four edges of the glass substrate 400, achieving multi-directional positioning and ensuring that the glass substrate 400 can be firmly fixed on the bracket, preventing slippage or displacement during the electroplating process. Understandably, by using the enclosed frame 100 in conjunction with multiple fixing clips 200, the reliability of the bracket in supporting the glass substrate 400 is greatly improved, which helps to reduce the risk of breakage of the glass substrate 400, thereby improving the yield rate of the glass substrate 400 and reducing production costs.

[0068] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
