Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surface degreasing technology, specifically to a surface degreasing device before electroplating. Background Technology

[0002] Pre-plating surface degreasing is a crucial step in the electroplating process. Its purpose is to remove grease, dirt, and oxide layers from the workpiece surface to ensure adhesion between the plating layer and the base metal, improving plating quality and adhesion. Oil and dirt on the metal surface can form a layer that hinders contact between the plating solution and the substrate, leading to uneven plating, blistering, or peeling, severely affecting the product's appearance and lifespan. Pre-plating surface degreasing is a key step in ensuring plating quality; therefore, appropriate degreasing methods must be selected based on specific circumstances, and operating conditions must be strictly controlled to achieve optimal electroplating results.

[0003] An electroplating pre-degreasing device, as disclosed in announcement number CN201920982892.8, includes an anode degreasing tank, an ultrasonic cleaning tank, a cathode degreasing tank, and a moving lifting component for degreasing, cleaning, and moving the electroplated parts before electroplating. It also includes an auxiliary degreasing component. This auxiliary component, in conjunction with a feeding component, the moving lifting component, and a connecting component, places the electroplated parts into the anode degreasing tank, ultrasonic cleaning tank, and cathode degreasing tank respectively for degreasing and cleaning. An auxiliary component is located at the bottom of the anode and cathode degreasing tanks, below the feeding component. The moving lifting component, through a lead screw and cylinder, in conjunction with the connecting component, moves the feeding component, allowing it to switch between the anode degreasing tank, ultrasonic cleaning tank, and cathode degreasing tank. This limits the movement of multiple workpieces, ensuring their neat arrangement and increasing the contact area between the workpieces and the alkaline solution, thus improving degreasing efficiency.

[0004] The aforementioned devices have low cleaning efficiency and low resource utilization during use; therefore, we propose a surface degreasing device before electroplating to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
