[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment of the present invention, an electroplating additive feeding device includes a feeding device 1. The feeding device 1 consists of a storage tank 9 and a feeder 18. The feeder 18 is installed on one side of the storage tank 9. A stirring mechanism 21 is installed inside the storage tank 9. A feed inlet 10 is installed on one side of the upper end of the storage tank 9. A cap is rotatably installed on the upper side of the feed inlet 10. An electronic level gauge 14 is installed on the other side of the upper end of the storage tank 9. A guide pipe 4 is installed at the bottom of the storage tank 9. One end of the guide pipe 4 is installed at the bottom of the feeder 18. A discharge pipe 17 is installed on one side of the upper end of the feeder 18. A flow control valve 16 is installed on the upper side of the discharge pipe 17. A controller 5 is installed on the outside of the storage tank 9. A voice prompt device 8 is installed on the upper side of the controller 5. The storage tank 9 is equipped with a support leg 2 at the bottom, and a base plate 3 is installed at the bottom of the support leg 2. The support leg 2 and the base plate 3 at the bottom of the storage tank 9 form a support structure. The support leg 2 stably supports the storage tank 9 on the ground, and the base plate 3 increases the contact area with the ground, improves the stability of the device, prevents the storage tank 9 from tilting or shaking, and ensures the smooth progress of the feeding process.

[0026] The stirring mechanism 21 consists of a shaft 22, a first power mechanism 11, and a stirring blade 23. The shaft 22 is rotatably installed inside the storage tank 9. The upper end of the shaft 22 passes through the storage tank 9 and is installed at the bottom end of the first power mechanism 11. The bottom end of the first power mechanism 11 is installed on the upper side of the storage tank 9. The stirring blade 23 is installed at the bottom end of the shaft 22. The shaft 22 of the stirring mechanism 21 is driven to rotate by the first power mechanism 11, which in turn causes the shaft 22 to rotate. The stirring blade 23 at the bottom end of the shaft 22 rotates accordingly, stirring the additives in the storage tank 9 to ensure that the various components of the additives are fully mixed, preventing sedimentation due to prolonged standing, and ensuring the consistency of the additive performance. A spiral blade 24 is provided on the outer side of the section of the shaft 22 that extends into the inner section of the feed pipe 4. The spiral blade 24 is welded to the outer side of the shaft 22. The spiral blade 24, which extends into the inner section of the feed pipe 4, rotates synchronously with the shaft 22. When the stirring mechanism 21 is working, the spiral blade 24 can smoothly push the additive at the bottom of the storage tank 9 into the feed pipe 4, preventing the additive from accumulating and blocking at the inlet of the feed pipe 4, and ensuring that the additive flows smoothly into the feeder 18.

[0027] The feeder 18 consists of a second power mechanism 15, a feed cylinder 19, and a screw rod 20. The feed cylinder 19 is installed on one side of the storage tank 9, and its bottom end is connected to the guide pipe 4. The screw rod 20 is rotatably installed inside the feed cylinder 19, and its upper end passes through the feed cylinder 19 and is installed at the bottom end of the second power mechanism 15. The second power mechanism 15 is installed on the upper side of the feed cylinder 19. The first power mechanism 11 and the second power mechanism 15 have the same structure. The second power mechanism 15 of the feeder 18 drives the screw rod 20 to rotate inside the feed cylinder 19. After the additive in the storage tank 9 enters the feed cylinder 19 through the guide pipe 4, the rotating screw rod 20 conveys the additive upward to the discharge pipe 17. By controlling the rotation speed of the screw rod 20, the amount of additive conveyed can be adjusted, and precise feeding can be achieved in conjunction with the flow control valve 16.

[0028] The first power mechanism 11 and the second power mechanism 15 are both composed of an electric motor 12 and a gearbox 13. The electric motor 12 is mounted on the upper side of the gearbox 13. The electric motor 12 serves as a power source, outputting high-speed rotational power. The gearbox 13 converts the high-speed rotation of the electric motor 12 into a low-speed, high-torque output suitable for the operation of the shaft 22 or the screw 20, enabling the stirring mechanism 21 and the conveyor 18 to operate stably and efficiently.

[0029] A display 6 is mounted on the upper side of the controller 5, and control buttons 7 are mounted on the upper side of the controller 5 below the display 6. The display 6 on the controller 5 can display operating parameters such as liquid level and feeding flow rate in real time. The operator sets operating parameters such as feeding amount and stirring time through the control buttons 7. The controller 5 automatically controls the operation of the first power mechanism 11, the second power mechanism 15 and the flow control valve 16 according to the set values. When the liquid level is lower than the set value, the voice prompt 8 issues an alarm to remind the operator to add additives, thus realizing intelligent feeding control.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The feeding device 1 consists of a storage tank 9 and a feeder 18. The storage tank 9 is used to store electroplating additives. Its internal stirring mechanism 21 can prevent the additives from settling and ensure uniform composition. The feed inlet 10 is used to add additive raw materials. The cover can be rotated open or closed to prevent impurities from entering. The electronic level gauge 14 monitors the liquid level in the tank in real time and transmits the data to the controller 5. When the additives flow into the feeder 18 through the guide pipe 4, the feeder 18 delivers them to the discharge pipe 17. The flow control valve 16 can accurately adjust the discharge flow rate to achieve quantitative feeding. The controller 5, as the core control unit, can receive the level gauge data and control the operation of each component. The voice prompt 8 is used for abnormal alarms or operation prompts.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are 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.
