Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a clamping fixture, and more particularly to an electroplating fixture with an independent tension clamp. Background Technology

[0002] Electroplating is a widely used surface treatment process in the manufacturing of electronic components. Traditional electroplating fixtures typically employ rigid clamping or fixed positioning structures, primarily used to hold products and ensure their contact with electrodes. However, these fixtures are not designed to account for the warping deformation that may occur during the electroplating process, and they lack any countermeasures to address this issue. Due to these variable factors, electroplating deviations can occur, resulting in substandard electroplating results and causing numerous inconveniences in practical use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an electroplating fixture with independent tension clamps. It has a simple structure, can avoid warping and deformation when clamping products, and results in a good electroplating effect.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an electroplating fixture with independent tension clamps, comprising:

[0005] Support frame;

[0006] A connecting plate is provided at the bottom of the support frame;

[0007] The U-shaped frame is located at the bottom of the connecting plate, and the connecting plate and the U-shaped frame form a space for placing products.

[0008] Tensioning components, a plurality of said tensioning components are disposed opposite each other on the top of said U-shaped frame via a connecting assembly, and said connecting assembly extends downward along the connecting plate into the receiving space;

[0009] The upper clamp is connected to one end of the adapter assembly located in the receiving space, and is used to clamp the upper part of the product;

[0010] The lower clamp is positioned opposite the upper clamp at the bottom of the U-shaped frame to clamp the lower part of the product.

[0011] When the upper clamp and the lower clamp clamp the product and the product is in a warped state, the tension generated by the tension component will pull the product, causing the product to be in an unfolded state.

[0012] Furthermore, the tension component is a spring.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of tension components is four, and the four tension components are arranged in parallel on the connecting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the adapter includes a first connecting plate; a second connecting plate extending into the accommodating space is provided in the vertical direction of the first connecting plate; and a third connecting plate connected to the upper clamp is provided at the bottom of the second connecting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the U-shaped frame is provided with two counterweights.

[0016] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] This utility model discloses an electroplating fixture with independent tension clamps. It adds a tension component connected to the upper clamp. When the product clamped by the upper and lower clamps shows a warping tendency, the corresponding upper clamp will increase the tension through the tension component to pull it back to a flat state. If a thinner area is overstretched, the tension device will reduce the tension to avoid deformation, thereby preventing the product from warping during electroplating, unfolding the product more effectively, and ensuring the electroplating effect.

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

[0025] This invention provides an electroplating fixture with independent tension clamps to solve the problem in the prior art that the clamped product may warp and deform during the electroplating process, which will affect the electroplating deviation and cause the electroplating effect to fail to meet the requirements.

[0026] For ease of understanding, the specific processes in the embodiments of this application are described below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 2 An electroplating fixture with independent tension clamps according to an embodiment of this application includes a support frame 1, a connecting plate 2, a U-shaped frame 3, a tension component 4, an adapter assembly 5, an upper clamp 6, and a lower clamp 7. The support frame 1 is used to install the electroplating fixture in a fixed position. The connecting plate 2 is disposed at the bottom of the support frame 1. The U-shaped frame 3 is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 2, and the connecting plate 2 and the U-shaped frame 3 form a square receiving space for placing the product to be electroplated.

[0027] Multiple tension components 4 are disposed opposite to each other on the top of the U-shaped frame 3 via an adapter assembly 5, and the adapter assembly 5 extends downward along the connecting plate 2 into the receiving space; the upper clamp 6 is connected to one end of the adapter assembly 5 located in the receiving space, and is used to clamp the upper part of the product 9; the lower clamp 7 is disposed opposite to the upper clamp 6 on the bottom of the U-shaped frame, and is used to clamp the lower part of the product.

[0028] This invention connects a tensioning component to the upper clamp. When the product clamped by the upper clamp is warped, the tensioning component automatically compensates for shape differences. If warping occurs in a certain area, the corresponding clamp increases tension to pull it back to a flat state. In thinner areas, if excessive stretching occurs, the tensioning device reduces the tension to avoid deformation, thereby preventing the product from bending during clamping and more effectively unfolding the product to ensure the electroplating effect.

[0029] Furthermore, the tension component 4 is a spring. In this embodiment, the automatic elastic restoring force of the spring provides an automatic compensation function. If the product clamped by the upper clamp 6 shows a warping tendency, the corresponding upper clamp will pull it back to a flat state through the tension of the spring. If a thinner area is overstretched, the spring will reduce the tension to avoid deformation.

[0030] Specifically, this embodiment includes four relatively parallel upper clamps 6 and four corresponding tension components 4, which can simultaneously generate a uniform pulling force on the product, ensuring that the product will not warp or deform, and improving the electroplating effect.

[0031] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adapter includes a first connecting plate 50, which is connected to the upper end of the tension member 4. The bottom of the tension member 4 is mounted on the connecting plate 2. A second connecting plate 51 extending into the accommodating space is provided in the vertical direction of the first connecting plate 50. The bottom of the second connecting plate 51 has a third connecting plate 52 connected to the upper clamp. In this way, the tension of the tension member 4 can be transmitted to the upper clamp 6 through the first connecting plate 50, the second connecting plate 51, and the third connecting plate 52, so that the upper clamp 6 can be automatically adjusted by the tension member 4 to ensure the full unfolding of the product.

[0032] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the U-shaped frame 3 is provided with two counterweights 8. The addition of two counterweights 8 is to ensure the relative stability of this electroplating fixture when clamping the product for electroplating.

[0033] In the actual electroplating process, when a part of the product clamped by the upper clamp 6 shows a warping tendency, the upper clamp also tilts upwards. This causes the springs connected by the first, second, and third connecting plates to stretch. Due to the spring's own restoring force, the upper clamp will pull the product back to a flat state through the spring tension, thus preventing the product from being warped and resulting in poor electroplating results. This allows the product to be laid flat, which is a necessary factor in improving the inter-electrode distance and verticality reliability between the anode and cathode inside the electroplating tank.

[0034] Furthermore, a tensioning component 4 is individually installed at each upper clamp 6, which can pull and fix the product separately, thereby preventing the product from bending and ensuring the quality and efficiency of the product during electroplating.

[0035] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
