Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCB manufacturing technology, and in particular to a PCB fixture for electroplating copper wire. Background Technology

[0002] In PCB manufacturing, electroplating is an important part of the production process. It mainly uses electrochemical reactions to deposit metal or alloys on the surface of the workpiece, forming a uniform, fine, and well-bonded metal layer. This prevents metal oxidation and corrosion, and also improves the wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics of the PCB.

[0003] Currently, in the PCB electroplating process, clamps are needed to fix the PCB when plating copper lines. Depending on the size of the PCB, existing PCBs generally require 3-5 clamps to hold and fix them. Operators need to lock and open the clamps one by one when loading and unloading the PCB, which is not only inefficient but also increases the time spent loading and unloading the board. Furthermore, the constant contact with the clamps can put a certain impact on the workers' hands. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more reasonable PCB clamp to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies, such as low clamping efficiency of PCB board clamps and increased time for operators to load and unload boards, this utility model provides an electroplated copper wire PCB clamp.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a PCB clamp for electroplating copper wire, including a top plate, multiple PCB clamps, and an adjusting member. The top plate is provided with mounting grooves adapted to the number of PCB clamps and used for mounting and fixing the PCB clamps. Each PCB clamp includes a clamping end and a fixing end. The adjusting member is sleeved on the fixing end of at least one of the PCB clamps, so as to simultaneously control the clamping opening of the corresponding PCB clamp through the adjusting member.

[0006] As an improvement of this utility model, the adjusting member is an adjusting rod, the fixed end is formed with a through hole, and the adjusting rod is sleeved in at least one of the through holes of the PCB fixture.

[0007] As an improvement of this utility model, the adjusting linkage is covered with a rubber sleeve to increase gripping friction.

[0008] As an improvement of this utility model, the two ends of the adjusting rod are respectively formed with a first connecting structure and a second connecting structure, and two adjacent adjusting rods are detachably connected by the cooperation of the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure.

[0009] As an improvement of this utility model, the first connecting structure is a connecting slot, and the second connecting structure is an elastic buckle adapted to the connecting slot. When the elastic buckle is snapped into the connecting slot, it fixes the adjacent adjusting rods in place. When the elastic buckle is pressed, it disengages from the connecting slot.

[0010] As an improvement of this utility model, the adjusting rod also has an opening that communicates with the connecting slot. When the elastic buckle is engaged in the connecting slot, it protrudes out of the connecting slot and is placed in the opening.

[0011] As an improvement of this utility model, the fixed end of any of the PCB clamps is further provided with a pressure rod that is easy to apply force to, and the pressure rod is fixedly connected to the PCB clamp.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the electroplating copper wire PCB fixture provided by this utility model includes a top plate, multiple PCB fixtures, and adjusting components. The top plate is provided with mounting slots adapted to the number of PCB fixtures and used for installing and fixing the PCB fixtures. Each PCB fixture includes a clamping end and a fixing end. The adjusting component is sleeved on the fixing end of at least one PCB fixture, so that the clamping and opening of the corresponding PCB fixture can be controlled simultaneously through the adjusting component. This utility model uses adjusting rods to enable multiple PCB fixtures to clamp and open synchronously, saving the time of operators to adjust the PCB fixtures one by one, and greatly improving work efficiency. At the same time, adjacent adjusting rods can be detachably spliced ​​by cooperating with connecting slots and elastic buckles, so that the PCB fixtures on two adjusting rods can be adjusted simultaneously, improving the flexibility of the product and work efficiency.

[0015] To more clearly illustrate this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a further picture.

[0016] In the following description, specific examples are given to provide a more in-depth understanding of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0017] It should be understood that when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the said feature, integral, step, operation, element, or component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model discloses a copper wire electroplating PCB fixture, comprising a top plate, multiple PCB clamps, and an adjusting component. The top plate has mounting slots adapted to the number of PCB clamps for mounting and fixing them. Each PCB clamp includes a clamping end and a fixing end. The adjusting component is sleeved on the fixing end of at least one PCB clamp, allowing simultaneous control of the clamping and opening of the corresponding PCB clamp. The top plate serves as the support structure for the entire fixture, and the number of mounting slots on it matches the number of PCB clamps, ensuring that each PCB clamp is securely fixed. The clamping end of the PCB fixture is used to hold the PCB board to be electroplated. It is necessary to ensure that the clamping force is moderate so as not to damage the PCB board and to ensure its stability during the electroplating process. This utility model connects multiple PCB fixtures together in series through an adjusting component. The adjusting component then controls the opening and clamping of the PCB fixtures simultaneously. Compared with conventional fixtures that require opening and closing the PCB fixtures one by one, the adjustment component can control the opening and clamping of multiple PCB fixtures at the same time, which greatly improves the work efficiency of the operator and reduces the time cost of adjusting the PCB fixtures.

[0019] In this embodiment, the adjusting component is an adjusting rod with a through hole at the fixed end. The adjusting rod is fitted into the through hole of at least one PCB fixture. The adjusting rod enables multiple PCB fixtures to be connected in series, and the adjusting rod can be stably connected to the PCB fixtures. This allows for the synchronous operation of multiple PCB fixtures, thereby improving the operator's efficiency and saving the time and effort previously required to adjust the opening and clamping of a single PCB fixture.

[0020] In this embodiment, the adjusting linkage is covered with a rubber sleeve to increase grip friction. In order to improve the operator's grip, the rubber sleeve is added to increase the friction between the operator and the adjusting linkage. The operator can hold the adjusting linkage firmly and press to adjust, making it more comfortable and less likely to slip during operation.

[0021] In this embodiment, the two ends of the adjusting rod are respectively formed with a first connecting structure and a second connecting structure. Two adjacent adjusting rods are connected by the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure to achieve a detachable connection. When the operator needs to adjust more PCB fixtures at the same time, the adjacent adjusting rods can be fixedly connected to each other through the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure. After use, the connected adjusting rods can also be disassembled. The operator can operate flexibly according to the situation, further improving work efficiency and flexibility.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first connecting structure is a connecting slot, and the second connecting structure is an elastic buckle adapted to the connecting slot. When the elastic buckle is snapped into the connecting slot, it fixes the adjacent adjusting rods together. When the elastic buckle is pressed, it disengages from the connecting slot. Through the cooperation between the connecting slot and the elastic buckle, the adjacent adjusting rods can be easily and quickly assembled and connected. After the adjacent adjusting rods are connected, the PCB clamps of the two adjusting rods are...

[0023] In this embodiment, the adjusting rod also has an opening for connecting the slot. When the elastic buckle is engaged in the slot, it protrudes from the slot and is placed in the opening. When the two adjusting rods are assembled, the slot of one adjusting rod engages with the elastic buckle of the other adjusting rod. After the elastic buckle is inserted into the slot, its portion protrudes from the slot and is exposed in the opening. When the operator wants to separate the adjusting rods, they press the elastic buckle through the opening to deform it, and then pull it out to separate the two adjusting rods. The opening design ensures that the operator can easily remove the two engaging adjusting rods, further improving the product's practicality.

[0024] In this embodiment, the fixed end of any PCB clamp also forms a pressure bar that facilitates force application. The pressure bar is fixedly connected to the PCB clamp. Since the operator needs to use considerable force to overcome the elastic force of the PCB clamp spring when multiple PCB clamps are opened and clamped together, the pressure bar increases the operator's point of force application, making it easier and less strenuous for the operator to open the PCB clamp, effectively reducing the operator's labor intensity. At the same time, the fixed connection between the pressure bar and the PCB clamp can be mainly through existing metal fitting methods such as riveting, welding, and threaded connection. In this way, the pressure bar and the PCB clamp will not loosen or fall off due to frequent use, improving the practicality and durability of the product.

[0025] The advantages of this utility model are: 1. This utility model uses an adjusting linkage to enable multiple PCB clamps to clamp and open synchronously, saving operators the time of adjusting each PCB clamp one by one and greatly improving work efficiency. At the same time, adjacent adjusting linkages can be connected by connecting slots and elastic buckles to achieve detachable splicing, thereby enabling the PCB clamps on two adjusting linkages to be adjusted simultaneously, improving product flexibility and work efficiency.

[0026] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
