Description

Copper ion supplementing device and method for electroplating
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electroplating, in particular to a copper ion supplementing device and a copper ion supplementing method for electroplating.
Background
In the electroplating process, the plated base metal is taken as a cathode in the electroplating solution containing the pre-plated metal, and cations of the pre-plated metal in the electroplating solution are deposited on the surface of the base metal through the electrolysis, so that a plating layer is formed. The surface of the formed coating is beautiful, and the coating can also strengthen the corrosion resistance, increase the hardness, prevent abrasion and improve the conductivity, the smoothness and the heat resistance of the base metal, so that the coating has been widely used in recent years.
The main components of the electroplating solution are main salts (providing ions of electrodeposited metal), conductive salts (increasing the conductivity of the solution), anode active agents (promoting anodic dissolution and improving anodic current density), buffering agents (regulating and controlling the pH value of the solution) and partial additives (improving the performance of the plating layer and the effect of electroplating quality). As electroplating proceeds, ions in the main salt that provide the electrodeposited metal are continuously consumed, and the current density of the electroplating solution and the electroplating effect are reduced, thereby affecting the electroplating effect. Therefore, the plating solution needs to be timely supplemented with ions to be plated.
In the PCB copper electroplating process, copper ions are supplemented in various modes, for example, phosphor copper balls can be filled into a titanium basket to serve as a soluble anode, and along with the electroplating, the phosphor copper balls serving as the anode gradually dissolve out the copper ions, so that copper supplementation is realized. The method is the most traditional method for supplementing copper ions, has wide application, but the phosphorus content in the electroplating solution is increased due to the use of the phosphorus-containing copper balls, so that the pollution of the electroplating solution is easy to cause, and the electroplating effect is influenced. Phosphorus is harmful to human body and environment, so that higher requirements are put on the discharge of electroplating liquid, and the production should be avoided as much as possible. In addition, copper ions can be supplemented by adding copper oxide powder, but the copper oxide powder is difficult to dissolve, and when the copper oxide powder is insufficiently dissolved, solid particles can influence the electroplating effect, so that the method is also difficult to effectively popularize.
Another way to effectively replenish copper ions is: pure copper balls are added to the plating solution, and high-valence oxidative metal ions added to the plating solution are utilized. For example, ferric iron or high-valence vanadium is used for dissolving pure copper balls to realize the supplementation of copper ions, the defects of the ferric iron and the high-valence vanadium are avoided, and meanwhile, low-valence metal ions can be oxidized on an anode and become high-valence again. However, the copper ions are supplemented in the mode, a large amount of copper balls are needed in the initial stage of wire opening, the consumption can reach several tons, the value is hundreds of thousands yuan, the early-stage investment of wire opening is increased, and the cost control of enterprises is not facilitated.

The feed liquor pipe runs through the filter layer setting, and the liquid outlet is located places the intracavity for to place the plating solution of copper ion to be supplemented in the chamber, wherein, the liquid outlet of feed liquor pipe is preferably close to the bottom of casing, is favorable to plating solution and the abundant contact of copper particle.
Preferably, a secondary filter device is arranged outside the supplementing device, and the secondary filter device is a filter and is connected with a liquid outlet pipeline of the supplementing device. The filter is internally provided with a filtering column which is used for carrying out secondary filtration on the electroplating liquid filtered by the filtering layer so as to completely remove copper particles in the electroplating liquid and prevent tiny copper particles from entering the electroplating bath.
Preferably, the filter layer is a fiber filter layer, preferably formed by winding polypropylene fibers, and can realize sufficient filtration of fine copper particles (the particle size is less than or equal to 7 mm) so as to prevent the copper particles from entering and being carried out by the electroplating solution.
