Description

本発明は、機械部品や電子部品などの表面に電着塗装や金属めっきなどの表面処理を施すために用いられるめっき治具およびめっき方法に関するものである。The present invention relates to a plating jig and a plating method used for performing surface treatment such as electrodeposition coating or metal plating on the surface of a machine part or an electronic part.

機械部品や電子部品などの表面には、電気特性や耐久性などを向上させる目的として、金属めっきや電着塗装などの表面処理が施されることがある。特に半導体部品や高精度モーターなど高信頼性を求められる機器については、その性能の向上とともに、内部に搭載される部品の品質要求も高まっており、中でも電気特性や耐候性を大きく左右する表面処理については高い品質を求められている。Surfaces such as metal plating and electrodeposition coating may be applied to the surfaces of mechanical parts and electronic parts for the purpose of improving electrical characteristics and durability. Especially for equipment that requires high reliability, such as semiconductor parts and high-precision motors, along with the improvement in performance, the quality requirements of the components mounted inside are also increasing, and among these, surface treatment that greatly affects electrical characteristics and weather resistance. For high quality is required.

従来、電子部品などの小物部品は、めっき処理専用容器に製品を投入し、めっき液中で回転させながら電解めっきを行ういわゆるバレルめっき法が広く用いられている。この場合、一度に大量の品物をめっき処理できるという利点があるが、一方で品物同士が回転運動によって互いに干渉しあい、品物にキズや変形などの不良を発生させ、製造工程における歩留まりを悪化させるという慢性的な課題を有している。またバレルめっき法においては、品物への通電はバレル内部に設けられた負電極より品物同士を介して全ての品物に通電するため、通電効率は品物形状に依存し、また接触と離脱を繰り返しながら通電を行うため、めっき効率が悪く、所望のめっき厚を確保するのに時間がかかるという課題を有している。Conventionally, for small parts such as electronic parts, a so-called barrel plating method is widely used in which a product is put into a dedicated container for plating treatment and electrolytic plating is performed while rotating in a plating solution. In this case, there is an advantage that a large amount of products can be plated at a time, but on the other hand, the products interfere with each other due to rotational movement, causing defects such as scratches and deformation in the products, and worsening the yield in the manufacturing process. Has a chronic challenge. Also, in the barrel plating method, energization of the product is performed by energizing all the products through the products from the negative electrode provided inside the barrel, so the energization efficiency depends on the shape of the product, and while repeating contact and separation Since energization is performed, there is a problem that the plating efficiency is low and it takes time to secure a desired plating thickness.

これに対して、めっき処理治具に設けられた通電用フックに品物を引っ掛けて、めっき液中で電解めっきを行ういわゆるラックめっき法は、製品同士が干渉しないためキズや変形を発生しないことや、常時品物に対して通電がなされている状態なので、めっき析出効率が良いという利点を備えている一方で、製品の取り付けに時間がかかるなど生産性に欠けることや、専用治具に設けられた通電用フックと品物の接触部(通電部)ではめっき液の流動が行き届かず、めっき未着やめっきムラなどを発生させることがある。このような品物を半導体部品や高精度モーターなどに搭載し使用した場合、使用される環境によってはキズ部分やめっき未着部分から素材の腐食が起こり、錆の発生や電気特性の低下などを引き起こす可能性がある。よって表面処理業界では、これらの問題を解決すべく種々の取り組みがなされており、次に示す文献では電解用回転治具および電解表面処理方法が提案されている。On the other hand, the so-called rack plating method, in which the product is hooked on a current-carrying hook provided on the plating processing jig and electrolytic plating is performed in the plating solution, does not interfere with each other. While the product is always energized, it has the advantage of good plating deposition efficiency, while it takes time to install the product and lacks productivity, and is provided in a dedicated jig The flow of the plating solution is not perfect at the contact portion (energization portion) between the energization hook and the product, which may cause unplating or uneven plating. When such products are mounted on semiconductor parts or high-precision motors, depending on the environment in which they are used, corrosion of the material may occur from scratches or unplated parts, which may cause rust and electrical characteristics to deteriorate. there is a possibility. Therefore, various efforts have been made in the surface treatment industry to solve these problems, and the following literature proposes a rotating jig for electrolysis and an electrolytic surface treatment method.

図3は従来の技術を示す正面図であり、図を参照しながら詳細な構成について以下に記す。
めっき治具101は格子状に配置された帯状の金属板材からなる通電フレーム102とその前面及び裏面を覆う落下防止部材としての多孔質の絶縁材料からなる蓋部材103とを備え、更に、蓋部材103及び通電フレーム102の形成する平面に直交するように、めっき治具101をその回りに回転可能とする回転軸104が設けられている。通電フレーム102は、格子に規定される空間が、角型の被めっき品2の収容区画となっている。この四角の区画の寸法は、品物よりも若干大きく、品物が回転軸に平行な軸の周りで若干移動可能である。図示の例においては、数十個の区画しか示されていないが、品物と治具の大きさにより、実際は数百個の区画が形成されている。通電フレーム102は、この例においては、帯状の金属板から形成されているが、勿論金属線材や細い金属棒材を用いてもよい。また、蓋部材103の内壁間の距離は、被めっき品2の厚さよりは大きいが、この品物の厚み2倍よりも小さくなるように設計されている。また、蓋部材103に設けられる複数の孔は、品物が蓋部材103よりも外にはみ出さない大きさであるならばどのような大きさであってもよく、また,強度を低下させないものであるならば、多数形成されていても良い。蓋部材103の固定は、蓋部材103自身が互いに嵌合する構成であっても、蓋部材103の直交する方向に、両側を貫通するように、ボルトを通すとともに、蓋部材103間にスペーサを介して固定してもよく、また、両側からクリップ等で固定してもよくその固定手段には限定されないことが記載されている。
FIG. 3 is a front view showing a conventional technique, and a detailed configuration will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The plating jig 101 includes a current-carrying frame 102 made of a strip-shaped metal plate material arranged in a lattice shape, and a lid member 103 made of a porous insulating material as a fall-preventing member that covers the front and back surfaces of the current-carrying frame 102. A rotating shaft 104 is provided to allow the plating jig 101 to rotate around the plane formed by the 103 and the energizing frame 102. In the energizing frame 102, the space defined by the lattice is a housing compartment for the square-shaped workpiece 2. The dimensions of this square section are slightly larger than the item, and the item can move a little around an axis parallel to the axis of rotation. In the example shown in the drawing, only several tens of sections are shown, but several hundred sections are actually formed depending on the size of the article and the jig. In this example, the current-carrying frame 102 is formed from a strip-shaped metal plate, but a metal wire or a thin metal rod may be used as a matter of course. Further, the distance between the inner walls of the lid member 103 is designed to be smaller than twice the thickness of the product, although it is larger than the thickness of the product 2 to be plated. The plurality of holes provided in the lid member 103 may have any size as long as the product does not protrude beyond the lid member 103, and does not reduce the strength. If there are, many may be formed. The lid member 103 is fixed by inserting a bolt so as to penetrate both sides in a direction perpendicular to the lid member 103 even if the lid members 103 themselves are fitted to each other, and a spacer between the lid members 103. It may be fixed via a clip, or may be fixed with clips or the like from both sides, and is not limited to the fixing means.

これらの構成によって、被めっき品2に対し連続的にかつ効率よく均一な電解表面処理が可能な電解用回転治具を提供することができるとしている。また被めっき品にかけや傷の発生がない電解用回転治具を提供することができるとしている。またこれらの電解用回転治具を用いれば、連続的に接点を移動することが可能であり、被処理品に治具跡を残すことがない電解用回転治具を提供することができるとしている。さらに、前述した電解用回転治具を使用し電解表面処理方法と電解表面処理装置とを提供することができるとしている。With these configurations, it is possible to provide a rotating jig for electrolysis capable of continuously and efficiently performing uniform electrolytic surface treatment on the article to be plated 2. In addition, it is possible to provide a rotating jig for electrolysis that does not cause plating or scratches on the product to be plated. In addition, if these electrolysis rotary jigs are used, it is possible to provide an electrolysis rotary jig that can continuously move the contact and does not leave a jig mark on the workpiece. . Furthermore, it is said that an electrolytic surface treatment method and an electrolytic surface treatment apparatus can be provided by using the electrolysis rotating jig described above.

以上のように従来技術の特徴は、導電性材料からなる区画整理された通電フレーム102の収容部に被めっき品2を挿入し、落下防止の目的である蓋部材103によって、被めっき品2が通電フレーム102からの脱落が無いように規制した状態で、通電フレーム102の中心部に設けられた導電性材料からなる回転軸104を駆動させ、尚且つ回転軸104を介して通電フレーム102に電気的導通状態とし、めっき液中で電解めっきを行うものである。通電フレーム102の収容部に挿入された被めっき品2は回転運動によって通電フレーム102と蓋部材103とで形成された区域の中で自在に移動し、通電フレーム102と被めっき品2の接点位置を次々と変化させながら通電を行い、治具跡を残すことなくめっきを行うことができる。As described above, the feature of the prior art is that the article to be plated 2 is inserted into the accommodating portion of the energized frame 102 made of a conductive material and arranged, and the article to be plated 2 is removed by the lid member 103 for the purpose of preventing falling. The rotating shaft 104 made of a conductive material provided at the center of the energizing frame 102 is driven in a state where it is regulated so that it does not fall off from the energizing frame 102, and the energizing frame 102 is electrically connected via the rotating shaft 104. In this state, electrolytic plating is performed in a plating solution. The article to be plated 2 inserted in the housing portion of the energizing frame 102 is freely moved in the area formed by the energizing frame 102 and the lid member 103 by the rotational movement, and the contact position between the energizing frame 102 and the article to be plated 2 is moved. It is possible to carry out the plating without changing the trace of the jig and leaving the jig trace.

しかしながら、従来の技術には次のような課題がある。
通電フレーム102は格子状に配置された帯状の金属板からなる構造であり、その格子形状を形成するためには金属板の板金加工、溶接加工あるいはロウ付け加工などを行って帯状の金属板を曲げたり接合したりする必要がある。また金属線や金属棒材などの材料を用いた場合においても、格子形状を形成するためには難易度の高い板金加工や溶接加工が必要であり、これは格子形状が多角形になるほど、あるいは格子形状の数が増加するほどその加工難易度は上がり、通電フレーム102の製作コストが増大するという課題を有している。
However, the conventional techniques have the following problems.
The energizing frame 102 has a structure composed of strip-shaped metal plates arranged in a grid. To form the grid, the strip-shaped metal plate is formed by performing sheet metal processing, welding processing, brazing processing, or the like. It must be bent and joined. Even when materials such as metal wires and metal rods are used, it is necessary to perform sheet metal processing or welding processing with a high degree of difficulty in order to form a lattice shape. This is because the lattice shape becomes polygonal or As the number of lattice shapes increases, the degree of difficulty of processing increases and the manufacturing cost of the energizing frame 102 increases.

また通電フレーム102は格子状に配置された帯状の金属板からなる構造であり、その格子形状を維持するためにある程度の強度を有する材料を使用しなければならないと推測される。仮に通電フレーム102の機械的強度が弱く、格子形状に変形や歪が生じた場合、被めっき品2との通電フレーム102の間に保たれるべき隙間が変化して、被めっき品2の電解処理に必要な通電状態が変化するだけでなく、その変形の程度によっては、被めっき品2の挿入自体に不具合を生じることも懸念される。また被めっき品2を多数装着した場合には、被めっき品2の重量および回転時の動的荷重も加算されることは明らかであり、被めっき品2の重量が重いほど、あるいはめっき治具101の回転が速いほど、通電フレーム102にかかる応力は増大すると推測され、これらは通電フレーム102にひずみや変形を生じるだけでなく、最悪の場合は通電フレーム102の破損につながることも懸念される。よって、通電フレーム102には、被めっき品2を保持規制するための適度な機械的強度を持たせる必要があり、このことは通電フレーム102を構成する材料が金属線材であっても金属棒であっても同様である。The energizing frame 102 has a structure made of strip-shaped metal plates arranged in a lattice shape, and it is assumed that a material having a certain degree of strength must be used in order to maintain the lattice shape. If the mechanical strength of the energizing frame 102 is weak and the lattice shape is deformed or distorted, the gap to be maintained between the energizing frame 102 and the product to be plated 2 changes, and the electrolysis of the product 2 to be plated is performed. Not only does the energization state necessary for the process change, but there is also a concern that a problem may occur in the insertion of the article to be plated 2 depending on the degree of deformation. In addition, when a large number of products to be plated 2 are mounted, it is clear that the weight of the products to be plated 2 and the dynamic load during rotation are also added. It is presumed that the faster the rotation of 101, the greater the stress applied to the energizing frame 102, which not only causes distortion or deformation in the energizing frame 102, but also in the worst case may lead to damage to the energizing frame 102. . Therefore, it is necessary for the energizing frame 102 to have an appropriate mechanical strength for holding and restricting the article 2 to be plated. This is because a metal rod is used even if the material constituting the energizing frame 102 is a metal wire. Even if there is, it is the same.

通電フレーム102の機械的強度を確保するために、例えば先行技術のような帯状の金属板であれば、板幅や板厚を増やすことが必要であるが、それは同時に通電フレーム102の表面積を増大させることにつながる。また金属線材や金属棒材を使用する場合は、その直径や辺の寸法などを増やすことで機械的強度を確保することができるが、同様に通電フレーム102の表面積を増大させることは避けられないと考えられる。通電フレーム102が被めっき品2を正確に且つ多数保持しつつ、めっき液中で回転運動に耐えるためには、表面積の大きな帯状の金属板や金属線材、あるいは金属棒材が必要であるといえる。In order to ensure the mechanical strength of the current-carrying frame 102, for example, if it is a belt-like metal plate as in the prior art, it is necessary to increase the plate width and thickness, but this simultaneously increases the surface area of the current-carrying frame 102. It leads to letting. In addition, when using a metal wire or a metal bar, the mechanical strength can be secured by increasing the diameter, side dimensions, etc., but it is unavoidable to increase the surface area of the energizing frame 102 as well. it is conceivable that. It can be said that a strip-shaped metal plate, metal wire, or metal bar having a large surface area is necessary in order for the current-carrying frame 102 to hold a large number of articles 2 to be plated accurately and withstand rotational movement in the plating solution. .

このように通電フレーム102の表面積が増大することは、特に電気めっきの場合、被めっき品2に析出するめっき皮膜の他に、通電フレーム102にもめっき皮膜が析出することにつながり、余分なめっき皮膜コストが発生するという課題を有している。これは、めっきの種類が例えば金めっきなど、高価なものであるほど深刻な問題であり、余分なめっき皮膜コストによって製造原価を圧迫することが懸念される。よって通電フレーム102などのように被めっき品2に対し接触的に給電を行う通電部材においては、めっき皮膜コストを下げるため、その表面積を極力小さくすることが望ましいと考えられる。The increase in the surface area of the current-carrying frame 102 in this way, particularly in the case of electroplating, leads to the deposition of a plating film on the current-carrying frame 102 in addition to the plating film deposited on the product 2 to be plated. There is a problem that the coating cost is generated. This is a more serious problem as the type of plating is more expensive, such as gold plating, and there is a concern that the manufacturing cost may be reduced due to excessive plating film costs. Therefore, it is considered that it is desirable to reduce the surface area of the current-carrying member that supplies power to the object to be plated 2 like the current-carrying frame 102 in order to reduce the plating film cost.

すなわち、本発明の目的は、被めっき品に対して、カケや傷およびめっき未着などの治具接触跡を発生させることなく均一な電解表面処理ができる構造であって、かつ通電極部材の製作コストを低減でき、さらには通電部材の表面積を極めて小さくすることで余分なめっき皮膜の析出を防止することができるめっき治具を提供することにある。That is, an object of the present invention is a structure capable of performing a uniform electrolytic surface treatment on a product to be plated without generating jig contact traces such as chipping, scratches, and unplated plating, and a through electrode member. An object of the present invention is to provide a plating jig capable of reducing the manufacturing cost and further preventing the deposition of an excessive plating film by making the surface area of the energizing member extremely small.

上記の課題を解決するために本発明のめっき治具は、被めっき品への電気的接触を構成する通電部材と、前記被めっき品がわずかに移動可能な状態に保持される保持部材をと備えためっき用治具であって、前記通電部材は前記被めっき品を挿入する開口部を形成した板状の導電材からなり、前記開口部の断面とその近傍を除いた大部分の平面が絶縁体で被覆されるとともに、前記保持部材は少なくとも表面が絶縁体であって、前記被めっき品が前記通電部材の前記開口部に動作可能に保持されるよう前記通電部材に取り付けられることを特徴とするものである。In order to solve the above problems, a plating jig according to the present invention includes an energizing member that constitutes an electrical contact with a product to be plated, and a holding member that is held in a state in which the product to be plated is slightly movable. A plating jig provided, wherein the current-carrying member is made of a plate-like conductive material having an opening into which the product to be plated is inserted, and most of the plane excluding the cross-section of the opening and the vicinity thereof. The holding member is covered with an insulator, and at least a surface of the holding member is an insulator, and is attached to the energizing member so that the article to be plated is operatively held in the opening of the energizing member. It is what.

以上のように本発明のめっき治具によれば、通電部材は板状の導電材料に開口部を形成するだけであり、慣用の加工方法であるレーザー穴あけ加工や金属エッチング加工によって、容易に高精度な開口部形状を形成することができ、従来技術に記載されている通電フレームのように、格子形状を形成するための金属板の板金加工、溶接加工あるいはロウ付け加工などを行って帯状の金属板を曲げたり接合したりする必要がない。また金属線や金属棒材などの材料を用いて格子形状を形成するための難易度の高い板金加工や溶接加工が必要ない。また、格子形状が多角形になるほど、あるいは格子形状の数が増加するほどその加工難易度は上がり、通電フレームの製作コストが増大するという課題も、板状の導電材にレーザー加工および金属エッチング加工で多角穴を形成することで解決できる。よって通電部材のコストを大幅に削減することができ、ひいては被めっき品の製造コストを低減することができる。As described above, according to the plating jig of the present invention, the energizing member only forms an opening in a plate-like conductive material, and can be easily increased by a laser drilling process or a metal etching process, which are conventional processing methods. An accurate opening shape can be formed, and like a current-carrying frame described in the prior art, a metal plate for forming a lattice shape is subjected to sheet metal processing, welding processing, brazing processing, etc. There is no need to bend or join metal plates. Moreover, the highly difficult sheet metal processing and welding processing for forming a grid | lattice shape using materials, such as a metal wire and a metal bar, are unnecessary. In addition, as the lattice shape becomes polygonal or the number of lattice shapes increases, the difficulty of processing increases and the manufacturing cost of the energizing frame increases. This can be solved by forming a polygonal hole. Therefore, the cost of the current-carrying member can be greatly reduced, and as a result, the manufacturing cost of the product to be plated can be reduced.

また本発明のめっき治具によれば、被めっき品の外形輪郭が四角形などの単純形状でなく、曲線を含むなど複雑な形状であったとしても、その輪郭に合った適正な通電部材の開口部を、レーザー加工やエッチング加工によっていかなる形状にも容易に形成することができる。これによって従来の通電フレームでは対応できなかった複雑な形状の被めっき品に対しても効率的にめっき処理することができる。Further, according to the plating jig of the present invention, even if the outer contour of the product to be plated is not a simple shape such as a quadrangle but a complicated shape including a curved line, an appropriate opening of the current-carrying member matching the contour is provided. The part can be easily formed into any shape by laser processing or etching processing. As a result, it is possible to efficiently perform the plating process even on a complicated shape to be plated which cannot be handled by the conventional energizing frame.

また本発明のめっき治具は、板状の導電材料よりなる通電部材に取り付けられる保持部材によって、めっき治具の機械的強度を保ち、被めっき品を保持する構成であるため、通電部材そのものに機械的強度を求める必要が無い。これは、通電フレーム102の表面積を縮小するために、使用する金属材料の寸法を縮小させた場合に懸念される、通電フレーム102の機械的強度不足や通電状態の変化、あるいは被めっき品2の挿入不具合などの問題を全て解決することができる。これによって、薄い板状の導電材に形成された開口部断面とその近傍部分以外を露出しないようにし、被めっき品に電気的接触を構成するために必要な最低限の表面のみがめっき液中で露出されるため、従来の技術が抱えていた、被めっき品2に析出するめっき皮膜の他に、通電フレーム102にもめっき皮膜が析出し、余分なめっき皮膜コストが発生するという課題を解決することができる。The plating jig of the present invention is configured to maintain the mechanical strength of the plating jig and hold the product to be plated by the holding member attached to the current-carrying member made of a plate-like conductive material. There is no need to obtain mechanical strength. This is due to a lack of mechanical strength of the energizing frame 102, a change in energized state, or a change in the state of the article 2 to be plated, which is a concern when the size of the metal material used is reduced in order to reduce the surface area of the energizing frame 102. All problems such as insertion defects can be solved. As a result, the opening cross section formed in the thin plate-shaped conductive material and the vicinity thereof are not exposed, and only the minimum surface necessary for configuring electrical contact with the product to be plated is in the plating solution. In addition to the plating film deposited on the product to be plated 2, the plating film also deposited on the current-carrying frame 102, which caused the extra plating film cost. can do.

すなわち、本発明のめっき治具によって、被めっき品に対して、カケや傷およびめっき未着などの治具接触跡を発生させることなく均一な電解表面処理ができる構造であって、かつ通電極部材の製作コストを低減でき、さらには通電部材の表面積を極めて小さくすることで余分なめっき皮膜の析出を防止することができるという優れた効果を発揮するめっき治具の提供ができる。That is, with the plating jig of the present invention, it is a structure that can perform uniform electrolytic surface treatment on a product to be plated without generating jig contact traces such as chipping, scratches, and unplated plating, and through electrodes It is possible to provide a plating jig that exhibits an excellent effect that the manufacturing cost of the member can be reduced, and the deposition of an excessive plating film can be prevented by extremely reducing the surface area of the energizing member.

本発明の実施の形態を示す斜視図である。It is a perspective view which shows embodiment of this invention. 図1のa−a´断面図である。It is aa 'sectional drawing of FIG. 従来の技術を示す代表図である。It is a typical figure which shows the prior art.

以下本発明の実施例について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
図1および図2において、通電部材1はステンレス、銅合金、ニッケル合金など、導電性を有する金属材料で形成されている。通電部材1はその厚みが0.5mm〜5mm程度の薄い板状の金属材料で構成されており、めっき処理の対象となる被めっき品2のサイズや仕様によって適宜変更される。通電部材1には被めっき品2がわずかに動作可能に挿入されるための開口部3が形成されており、開口部3の大きさは、被めっき品2の外形寸法よりも約5〜20%程度大きい寸法に形成されている。これは通電部材1の厚みと同様に、めっき処理の対象となる被めっき品2のサイズや仕様によって適宜変更される。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
1 and 2, the energizing member 1 is formed of a conductive metal material such as stainless steel, copper alloy, nickel alloy. The current-carrying member 1 is made of a thin plate-like metal material having a thickness of about 0.5 mm to 5 mm, and is appropriately changed depending on the size and specifications of the article 2 to be plated. The current-carrying member 1 is formed with an opening 3 for inserting the product to be plated 2 so as to be slightly operable. The size of the opening 3 is about 5 to 20 than the outer dimension of the product to be plated 2. It is formed in a dimension that is about% larger. Similar to the thickness of the current-carrying member 1, this is appropriately changed depending on the size and specification of the product 2 to be plated.

通電部材1に形成される開口部3の断面とその近傍を除く大部分の平面は、塩化ビニルやポリカーボネイトなどの絶縁体4によって被覆されている。通電部材1と絶縁体4の固定は、耐薬品性や耐熱性のある接着材で接着固定されており、今回は1液性室温乾燥型のシリコーンシーラントを用いて接着固定した。このように絶縁体4で被覆することにより、めっき液5の中に露出する被めっき品2への電気的接触を構成する部位を極めて小さくすることができる。The cross section of the opening 3 formed in the current-carrying member 1 and most of the flat surface except the vicinity thereof are covered with an insulator 4 such as vinyl chloride or polycarbonate. The current-carrying member 1 and the insulator 4 are fixed with an adhesive having chemical resistance or heat resistance. This time, the current-fixing member 1 and the insulator 4 are bonded and fixed using a one-component room temperature drying type silicone sealant. Thus, by coat | covering with the insulator 4, the site | part which comprises the electrical contact to the to-be-plated goods 2 exposed in the plating solution 5 can be made very small.

本実施の形態においては、通電部材1と絶縁体4の隙間にめっき液が進入することをほぼ完全に遮断するために接着固定の構成としたが、使用するめっき液や条件によっては通電部材1と絶縁体4が脱着できるようにゴムパッキンなどを挟み込んでネジ止めするなどの方法をとることもできる。In the present embodiment, the adhesive fixing structure is used to almost completely block the plating solution from entering the gap between the current-carrying member 1 and the insulator 4, but the current-carrying member 1 depends on the plating solution used and the conditions. Further, a method such as sandwiching rubber packing or the like so that the insulator 4 can be detached can be used.

次に保持部材6は通電部材1の両側に固定されており少なくとも片側が脱着自在に取り付けられている。これによって被めっき品2の挿入と取り出しが行える構成となっている。保持部材6には通電部材1に形成された開口部3と略同様の保持部材開口部7が形成され、挿入される被めっき品2に対し、めっき液5の流動が良好に行えるようになっている。また保持部材開口部7の一部には突起部8が設けられており、挿入する被めっき品2がめっき処理中に脱落しないように、通電部材1の両側に設けられる保持部材6の突起部8によって被めっき品2を隙間をもって脱落規制するストッパーの役割を果たしている。Next, the holding member 6 is fixed to both sides of the energizing member 1, and at least one side is detachably attached. In this way, the workpiece 2 can be inserted and removed. The holding member 6 is formed with a holding member opening 7 that is substantially the same as the opening 3 formed in the energizing member 1, so that the plating solution 5 can flow well with respect to the article 2 to be inserted. ing. In addition, a protrusion 8 is provided in a part of the holding member opening 7, and the protrusion of the holding member 6 provided on both sides of the energizing member 1 so that the article 2 to be inserted does not fall off during the plating process. 8 serves as a stopper that regulates dropping of the article 2 to be plated with a gap.

本実施例においては保持部材開口部7の一部に設けられた突起部8によって被めっき品を脱落規制する構成としているが、被めっき品2が通電部材1の開口部3から脱落しないような形状であれば突起8に限らずどのような形状でもかまわない。本発明のめっき治具10は、以上のような構造であるため、電気的接触を構成する通電部材1と、被めっき品2が保持部材6によってわずかに移動可能な状態に保持されるようになっている。In the present embodiment, the product to be plated is regulated to be dropped by the protrusion 8 provided in a part of the holding member opening 7, but the product to be plated 2 is not dropped from the opening 3 of the current-carrying member 1. Any shape can be used as long as the shape is not limited to the protrusion 8. Since the plating jig 10 of the present invention has the above-described structure, the current-carrying member 1 that constitutes the electrical contact and the article to be plated 2 are held in a slightly movable state by the holding member 6. It has become.

次に本発明のめっき治具10を用いためっき方法について説明する。本来、めっき処理にはめっき皮膜を析出させる工程の前に、素材表面を洗浄したり、研磨、活性化するなどの前処理を行うことが一般的であり、さらにめっき処理の後には、薬品を洗い流す洗浄工程や、被めっき品を乾燥させる工程などが設けられているが、本発明の趣旨より、めっき皮膜析出工程のみ説明し、前後処理については省略する。Next, a plating method using the plating jig 10 of the present invention will be described. Originally, it is common to perform pretreatment such as cleaning, polishing and activating the surface of the material before the step of depositing a plating film in the plating treatment. Although a washing step for washing away and a step for drying the article to be plated are provided, only the plating film deposition step will be described for the purpose of the present invention, and the pre-treatment and post-treatment will be omitted.

めっき治具10を構成する通電部材1の開口部3には被めっき品2が挿入されている。図中では、開口部3などの構造を説明するために、4箇所ある開口部のうち1箇所のみ被めっき品2を記載しているが、実際には全ての開口部3に被めっき品2を挿入することが望ましい。めっき治具10は下方に設けられた2個の保持ロール11上に載せられており、2個の保持ロール11の端部に設けられたガイド部によって保持ロール11の軸方向への移動が規制されている。この保持ロール11は内部にベアリングやブッシュを使用するなどして滑らかに回転することが望ましく、これによってめっき治具10を滑らかに回転可能な状態に取り付けることができる。A product to be plated 2 is inserted into the opening 3 of the energization member 1 constituting the plating jig 10. In the drawing, in order to explain the structure of the opening 3 and the like, the article to be plated 2 is shown only in one of the four openings, but in reality, the article to be plated 2 is placed in all the openings 3. It is desirable to insert. The plating jig 10 is placed on two holding rolls 11 provided below, and the movement of the holding roll 11 in the axial direction is restricted by a guide portion provided at the end of the two holding rolls 11. Has been. The holding roll 11 is desirably rotated smoothly by using a bearing or a bush inside, so that the plating jig 10 can be smoothly rotated.

次にめっき治具10の上方にはモータ18およびプーリ20a、20b、ベルト21などによって回転する駆動ロール12が設けられており、めっき治具10と駆動ロール12との摩擦力によってめっき治具10に回転駆動力が与えられる構成となっている。それぞれの部品は、筐体19に取り付けられており、回転装置13を構成している。Next, a driving roll 12 that is rotated by a motor 18, pulleys 20 a and 20 b, a belt 21, and the like is provided above the plating jig 10, and the plating jig 10 is caused by the frictional force between the plating jig 10 and the driving roll 12. It is the structure to which rotational drive force is given to. Each component is attached to the housing 19 and constitutes a rotating device 13.

駆動ロール12はできるだけ摩擦力の大きい材質が望ましく、例えばウレタンゴムやシリコンゴムなどが適している。駆動ロール12は回転駆動力をめっき治具10にさらに安定して伝達するため、めっき治具10に対して駆動ロール12を押さえつける構成としてもよい。また、2個の保持ロール11を上方に持ち上げるようにし、めっき治具10を駆動ロール12に相対的に押さえつける構造でも同様の作用が得られる。また、めっき治具10に対して、上方が駆動ロール、下方が保持ロールという制約は特に無いため、図面に記載の限りではない。The drive roll 12 is desirably made of a material having as large a frictional force as possible. For example, urethane rubber or silicon rubber is suitable. The drive roll 12 may be configured to press the drive roll 12 against the plating jig 10 in order to more stably transmit the rotational driving force to the plating jig 10. Further, the same operation can be obtained by a structure in which the two holding rolls 11 are lifted upward and the plating jig 10 is pressed against the drive roll 12 relatively. Moreover, since there is no restriction | limiting in particular that the upper side is a drive roll and the downward | lower direction is a holding roll with respect to the plating jig | tool 10, it is not restricted to description in drawing.

また2個の保持ロール11と駆動ロール12に囲まれた範囲からめっき治具10を脱着自在にするために、駆動ロール12と2個の保持ロール11のいずれかは移動または取り外し可能に設けられていることが望ましい。これによって、被めっき品2を収納しためっき治具10を容易に回転装置13に脱着することができる。Further, in order to make the plating jig 10 detachable from the range surrounded by the two holding rolls 11 and the driving rolls 12, either the driving roll 12 or the two holding rolls 11 are provided so as to be movable or removable. It is desirable that As a result, the plating jig 10 in which the article to be plated 2 is stored can be easily attached to and detached from the rotating device 13.

回転装置13には送電プレート14が設けられており、その一端はめっき電源(図示せず)などの直流電源に配線15を介して接続され、さらにもう一端はめっき治具10の外周部に露出している通電部材1の外周部と電気的接触状態になるように構成されている。送電プレート14はステンレスや銅合金、鉄−ニッケル合金などの導電性を有する材料からなり、めっき治具10が回転装置13によって回転運動している場合においても、そのバネ性を利用してめっき治具10の外周に露出している通電部材1の外周部と常に密着状態にあり、電解めっきに必要な電流を安定して通電部材1に供給し続けることができる構造となっている。The rotating device 13 is provided with a power transmission plate 14, one end of which is connected to a DC power source such as a plating power source (not shown) via a wiring 15, and the other end is exposed to the outer periphery of the plating jig 10. It is comprised so that it may be in an electrical contact state with the outer peripheral part of the electricity supply member 1 currently performed. The power transmission plate 14 is made of a conductive material such as stainless steel, a copper alloy, or an iron-nickel alloy, and even when the plating jig 10 is rotated by the rotating device 13, the plating treatment is performed using its spring property. The outer peripheral part of the current-carrying member 1 exposed on the outer periphery of the tool 10 is always in close contact with the current-carrying member 1, and a current necessary for electrolytic plating can be stably supplied to the current-carrying member 1.

本発明の実施の形態では送電プレート14を金属板としているが、例えば金属ワイヤーや、編組線、あるいは金属棒などを用いてもよく、また材料自体のバネ性を利用して通電部材1の外周部に密着させる方法のほかに、スプリングなどを利用して強制的に通電部材1の外周部に押さえつける方法もあるなど、実施例の構成に限定されるものではない。また、通電部材1の外周部に送電プレート14を接触させる方法のほかに、通電部材1の一部にボルトなどを用いて直接配線接続してもよいが、この場合、めっき治具10の回転によって配線15にねじれが生じ、配線切断などのトラブルが起こることが懸念されるが、めっき治具10の回転方向を右回転左回転交互に行うことによって解決できる。さらには、配線途中にロータリーコネクターなどを利用することもできる。In the embodiment of the present invention, the power transmission plate 14 is a metal plate. However, for example, a metal wire, a braided wire, a metal rod, or the like may be used. In addition to the method of closely contacting the portion, there is also a method of forcibly pressing against the outer peripheral portion of the energizing member 1 using a spring or the like, and the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment. In addition to the method in which the power transmission plate 14 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral portion of the energization member 1, direct wiring connection may be made to a part of the energization member 1 using a bolt or the like. There is a concern that the wiring 15 may be twisted and troubles such as wiring cutting may occur, but this can be solved by alternately rotating the plating jig 10 clockwise and counterclockwise. Furthermore, a rotary connector or the like can be used in the middle of wiring.

以上のような本発明のめっき治具10を回転装置13に装着した状態でめっき処理タンク16に投入し電解めっきを行う。めっき処理タンク16内部には処理に必要なめっき液5が貯蓄されており、必要に応じて攪拌機(図示せず)によって処理液の攪拌が行われている。処理タンクには陽極17が設けられ、めっき電源(図示せず)などの直流電源に配線によって接続されており、電解めっきに必要な電流を加えることができる構造になっている。The plating jig 10 of the present invention as described above is put into the plating tank 16 while being mounted on the rotating device 13, and electrolytic plating is performed. The plating solution 5 necessary for the treatment is stored inside the plating treatment tank 16, and the treatment solution is stirred by a stirrer (not shown) as necessary. The processing tank is provided with an anode 17 and is connected to a direct current power source such as a plating power source (not shown) by wiring so that a current necessary for electrolytic plating can be applied.

このめっき処理タンク16の中に回転装置13に取り付けられた状態のめっき治具10を浸漬する。さらに電流を加えながら回転装置13の駆動ロール12を回転させ、めっき治具10を回転動作させる。めっき治具10を構成する通電部材1に形成された開口部3の寸法は、保持部材6に形成された保持部材開口部7の寸法よりもわずかに小さく形成しており、すなわち通電部材1の開口部3が保持部材開口部7よりもわずか内側に飛び出す構成とすることで、被めっき品2が通電部材1の開口部3に動作可能に収容されている時、被めっき品2は保持部材開口部7よりも優先的に通電部材1の開口部3断面と接触することができるようになっている。The plating jig 10 attached to the rotating device 13 is immersed in the plating tank 16. Further, the driving roll 12 of the rotating device 13 is rotated while applying a current to rotate the plating jig 10. The size of the opening 3 formed in the energizing member 1 constituting the plating jig 10 is slightly smaller than the size of the holding member opening 7 formed in the holding member 6. Since the opening 3 protrudes slightly inward from the holding member opening 7, when the article to be plated 2 is operably accommodated in the opening 3 of the energizing member 1, the article to be plated 2 is held by the holding member. The opening 3 can be preferentially brought into contact with the cross section of the opening 3 of the energizing member 1 over the opening 7.

さらにめっき治具10が回転し、収容された被めっき品2は回転運動と被めっき品2に働く重力によって通電部材1の開口部3断面との接触位置を次々と変化させながら電解めっき処理されていく。これによって被めっき品2の表面にめっき未着部分を生じることなく効率よく通電しめっきすることができると同時に、被めっき品はめっき治具10に隙間をもって収容された状態にあって、わずかに動作するだけなので、キズやカケ変形といった不具合を解決することができる。Further, the plating jig 10 is further rotated, and the accommodated article 2 is subjected to electrolytic plating while changing the contact position with the cross section of the opening 3 of the current-carrying member 1 one after another by the rotational motion and the gravity acting on the article 2 to be plated. To go. As a result, it is possible to efficiently energize and perform plating without generating a plating non-deposited portion on the surface of the product to be plated 2, and at the same time, the product to be plated is in a state of being accommodated in the plating jig 10 with a gap. Since it only works, problems such as scratches and crack deformation can be solved.

また本発明のめっき治具において、通電部材1は板状の導電材料に開口部3を形成するだけであり、慣用の加工方法であるレーザーによる穴あけ加工や金属エッチング加工によって、容易に高精度な開口部形状を形成することができ、従来技術に記載されている通電フレーム102のような格子形状を形成するための金属板の板金加工、溶接加工あるいはロウ付け加工などを行って帯状の金属板を曲げたり接合したりする必要がない。Further, in the plating jig of the present invention, the energizing member 1 only forms the opening 3 in the plate-like conductive material, and can be easily and highly accurately achieved by laser drilling or metal etching which is a conventional processing method. A strip-shaped metal plate that can be formed in the shape of an opening and is subjected to sheet metal processing, welding processing, brazing processing, or the like of a metal plate for forming a grid shape like the energization frame 102 described in the prior art There is no need to bend or join.

また金属線や金属棒材などの材料を用いて格子形状を形成するための難易度の高い板金加工や溶接加工が必要ない。また、格子形状が多角形になるほど、あるいは格子形状の数が増加するほどその加工難易度は上がり、通電フレームの製作コストが増大するという課題も、板状の導電材にレーザー加工および金属エッチング加工で多角穴を形成することによって解決できる。Moreover, the highly difficult sheet metal processing and welding processing for forming a grid | lattice shape using materials, such as a metal wire and a metal bar, are unnecessary. In addition, as the lattice shape becomes polygonal or the number of lattice shapes increases, the difficulty of processing increases and the manufacturing cost of the energizing frame increases. This can be solved by forming a polygonal hole.

尚、開口部3の形状は直線的であっても非直線的であってもその形状は自在であり、たとえばノコギリ刃のようなギザギザ形状の開口部3にして、被めっき品2と通電部材1との接触面積を極力小さくすることもできる。これによれば、通電跡やめっき未着に対し、さらに有利となる通電状態が得られる。Note that the shape of the opening 3 is either linear or non-linear, and the shape can be freely selected. For example, the opening 3 having a jagged shape such as a saw blade is used to form the article to be plated 2 and the current-carrying member. The contact area with 1 can be made as small as possible. According to this, an energized state which is more advantageous with respect to energized traces and unplated plating is obtained.

また本発明のめっき治具によれば、被めっき品の外形輪郭が四角形などの単純形状でなく、曲線を含むなど複雑な形状であったとしても、その輪郭に合った適正な通電部材の開口部を、レーザー加工やエッチング加工によっていかなる形状にも容易に形成することができる。これによって従来の通電フレームでは対応できなかった複雑な形状の被めっき品に対しても効率的にめっき処理することができる。Further, according to the plating jig of the present invention, even if the outer contour of the product to be plated is not a simple shape such as a quadrangle but a complicated shape including a curved line, an appropriate opening of the current-carrying member matching the contour is provided. The part can be easily formed into any shape by laser processing or etching processing. As a result, it is possible to efficiently perform the plating process even on a complicated shape to be plated which cannot be handled by the conventional energizing frame.

以上のように本発明のめっき治具構成によれば、通電部材1の製作を容易にし、コストを大幅に削減することができ、ひいては被めっき品2の製造コストを低減することができる。As described above, according to the configuration of the plating jig of the present invention, it is possible to easily manufacture the energizing member 1, greatly reduce the cost, and thus reduce the manufacturing cost of the article to be plated 2.

さらに本発明のめっき治具10では、通電部材1に形成される開口部3の断面とその近傍を除く大部分の平面を、塩化ビニルやポリカーボネイトなどの絶縁体4によって被覆することによって、めっき液中に露出する被めっき品2への電気的接触を構成する部位を極めて小さくすることができる。Furthermore, in the plating jig 10 of the present invention, the plating solution is obtained by covering the cross section of the opening 3 formed in the current-carrying member 1 and most of the flat surface except for the vicinity thereof with an insulator 4 such as vinyl chloride or polycarbonate. The part which comprises the electrical contact to the to-be-plated goods 2 exposed inside can be made very small.

また通電部材1は取り付けられる保持部材6によって、機械的強度を保ち、被めっき品2を保持する構成であるため、通電部材1そのものに機械的強度を求める必要が無く、極力厚みの薄い材料を使用することができる。これによれば、従来の技術のように、通電フレームの表面積を縮小するために、使用する金属材料の寸法を縮小させた場合に懸念される、通電フレーム102の機械的強度不足や通電状態の変化、あるいは被めっき品2の挿入不具合などの問題を全て解決することができる。これによって、通電部材1に形成された開口部3の断面とその近傍部分以外を露出しないように絶縁体4で被覆し、被めっき品2に電気的接触を構成するために必要な最低限の表面のみがめっき液中で露出されるため、従来の技術が抱えていた、被めっき品2に析出するめっき皮膜の他に、通電フレーム102にもめっき皮膜が析出することによる余分なめっき皮膜コストが発生するという重大な課題を解決することができる。In addition, since the current-carrying member 1 is configured to maintain mechanical strength and hold the article 2 to be plated by the holding member 6 to which the current-carrying member 1 is attached, there is no need to obtain mechanical strength for the current-carrying member 1 itself, and a material with a thickness as thin as possible is used. Can be used. According to this, as in the prior art, in order to reduce the surface area of the energization frame, there is a concern about the insufficient mechanical strength of the energization frame 102 or the state of energization, which is a concern when the size of the metal material used is reduced. All the problems such as change or defective insertion of the article to be plated 2 can be solved. As a result, the cross section of the opening 3 formed in the energizing member 1 and the insulating portion 4 are covered so as not to be exposed, and the minimum necessary for configuring electrical contact with the article 2 to be plated. Since only the surface is exposed in the plating solution, in addition to the plating film deposited on the product to be plated 2, which has been in the prior art, extra plating film cost due to the deposition of the plating film on the current-carrying frame 102 It is possible to solve a serious problem that occurs.

すなわち本発明によれば、品物に対して、カケや傷およびめっき未着などの治具接触跡を発生させることなく均一な電解表面処理ができる構造であって、かつ通電極部材の製作コストを低減でき、さらには通電部材の表面積を極めて小さくすることで余分なめっき皮膜の析出を防止することができるという優れた効果を発揮するめっき治具の提供ができる。That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform uniform electrolytic surface treatment on a product without generating jig contact traces such as chipping, scratches, and unplated plating, and reduce the manufacturing cost of a through electrode member. In addition, it is possible to provide a plating jig that exhibits an excellent effect that the deposition of an excessive plating film can be prevented by reducing the surface area of the current-carrying member extremely.

本実施の形態では、被めっき品2を四角形形状とし、めっき治具10を円形としているが被めっき品2の形状やめっき仕様によって変更可能である。In the present embodiment, the product to be plated 2 has a quadrangular shape and the plating jig 10 has a circular shape, but can be changed depending on the shape of the product to be plated 2 and the plating specifications.

まためっき処理に限らず、電着塗装や電解洗浄など、めっき液中で電解処理を行う工程に応用することも可能である。Further, the present invention is not limited to the plating process, and can be applied to a process of performing an electrolytic process in a plating solution such as electrodeposition coating or electrolytic cleaning.

まためっき治具10は回転治具に1個だけでなく、複数取り付けられるようにし、製造能力を向上させることもできる。また、回転装置13はめっき処理タンク16に常設してめっき治具10のみを脱着する構造にすることで作業者への負担が低減するなど、本発明の思想に逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更可能である。Further, not only one plating jig 10 but also a plurality of plating jigs 10 can be attached to the rotating jig to improve the manufacturing capability. In addition, the rotation device 13 can be appropriately changed without departing from the concept of the present invention, such as reducing the burden on the operator by installing the rotation device 13 permanently in the plating tank 16 and detaching only the plating jig 10. is there.

本発明のめっき治具は、被めっき品に対して、カケや傷およびめっき未着などの治具接触跡を発生させることなく均一な電解表面処理が構造であって、かつ通電極部材の製作コストを低減でき、さらには通電部材の表面積を極めて小さくすることで余分なめっき皮膜の析出を防止することが必要な場合のめっき治具として利用できる。The plating jig of the present invention has a structure for uniform electrolytic surface treatment on a product to be plated without generating jig contact traces such as cracks, scratches and unplated plating, and manufacture of a through electrode member Cost can be reduced, and furthermore, it can be used as a plating jig when it is necessary to prevent deposition of an excessive plating film by making the surface area of the energizing member extremely small.
