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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a dual-anode electroplating device for a PCB gantry copper plating production line, comprising:
[0028] Electroplating tank 1;
[0029] Gantry frame 2, the gantry frame 2 is mounted on the electroplating tank 1, and the gantry frame 2 is equipped with a driving component 3;
[0030] A fixing component 4 is disposed on the driving component 3. The driving component 3 drives the fixing component 4 to move vertically. The fixing component 4 is connected to the cathode of the power supply 5.
[0031] The anode assembly includes two anode plates 6 disposed in the electroplating tank 1. The two anode plates 6 are disposed on opposite sides of the fixing assembly 4, and the anode plates are connected to the anode of the power supply 5.
[0032] The fixing assembly 4 includes a connecting frame 41, an electrode plate 42, an upper clamp 43, a lower clamp 44, and a telescopic rod 45. The connecting frame 41 is connected to the driving component 3. The electrode plate 42 is on the connecting frame 41, and several lower clamps 44 are provided on the electrode plate 42. Each lower clamp 44 has an upper clamp 43 above it. The lower clamps 44 are connected to the telescopic rod 45, which is connected to the connecting frame 41. The electrode plate 42 is connected to the cathode of the power supply 5. By adjusting the length of the telescopic rod, the distance between the upper and lower clamps is adapted to the PCB board, preventing bending of the PCB board during mounting. The upper and lower clamps are used to clamp the waste area of the product, and the clamping force prevents the board from falling off during clamping, thus facilitating the mounting and dismounting of the PCB board.
[0033] The telescopic rod 45 includes a first connecting rod 451 and a second connecting rod 452. The first connecting rod is connected to the connecting frame 41, and an adjusting screw hole 7 is provided in the first connecting rod 451. One end of the second connecting rod 452 is screwed into the adjusting screw hole 7. Rotating the second connecting rod allows it to move up and down within the adjusting screw hole, thereby adjusting the position of the upper clamp.
[0034] The connecting frame 41 has guide holes at both ends, and guide rods 8 are inserted through the guide holes and connected to the gantry frame 2. This makes the movement of the connecting frame more stable.
[0035] The connecting frame 41 is an insulated connecting frame. The connecting frame is made of insulating material, which improves safety.
[0036] The driving component 3 is a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder. Specifically, the driving component is a pneumatic cylinder.
[0037] Working Principle: During electroplating, the length of the telescopic rod is adjusted to match the distance between the upper and lower clamps to the PCB board. The PCB board is then hung between the upper and lower clamps. The drive component lowers the connecting frame, immersing the PCB board in the electroplating solution. Power is then switched on, and electroplating begins. Therefore, this invention improves electroplating efficiency and produces a uniform and smooth electroplated surface by adding two anode plates, positioned on opposite sides of the fixing assembly. This enhances electroplating quality. The telescopic rod allows adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower clamps, enabling the fixing of PCB boards of different sizes and ensuring the PCB board remains straight, preventing bending and damage.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
