Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the consumption of an anode electrode by interposing a means for blocking the flow of reverse current in the stage of non-plating between the electrode and a DC power source. CONSTITUTION:A current rectifier 9 is inserted between the DC power source 3 and the anode electrode 6 of an electroplating device in such a manner that the power source 3 side is the anode and that the anode electrode 6 side in a plating cell 7 is the cathode. The current rectifier may be inserted between the power source 3 and the cathode electrode 7 of the plating cell 7. A diode is preferably used for the current rectifier 9. The plating current is normally passed by the insertion of such current rectifier 9 when a power feed circuit is connected to an AC power source 1 and the plating current flows in the forward direction. The power feed circuit is connected in the direction where the reverse current by a battery effect is blocked when said circuit is disconnected from the power source 1. The consumption of the noble metal to be used for the anode electrode 6 is thus prevented and the electrode life is extended.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an electrolytic plating apparatus, and more particularly to a plating apparatus capable of preventing wear of an anode electrode in a plating tank.

<Conventional technology> When plating metals baser than platinum (Ag, Ni, Cu, etc.) using an insoluble electrode such as platinum plating, the plating power supply is turned off while the plating equipment is full of plating solution. When the wave side is interrupted, a reverse current is generated from the object to be plated toward the anode electrode through the internal resistance of the DC power supply due to the action of the battery within the plating apparatus. This reverse current generates hydrogen gas on the anode electrode (precious metal, etc.), and this hydrogen gas reduces and activates the oxide film on the anode electrode surface.Then, when the plating power is turned on and the anode electrode becomes an anode, it undergoes anodic oxidation. The anode electrode is consumed by this repetition of reduction activation and oxidation.

In order to prevent this reverse current, the reverse current can be prevented by installing a switch on the DC side of the DC power supply and interrupting the reverse current circuit. However, arcs are likely to occur when the DC current is interrupted, and the life of the switch is short.Furthermore, the DC side generally carries a large current, making the switch large and expensive.

For this reason, there is a need for a plating apparatus that can effectively block this reverse current and cause less wear and tear on the anode electrode.

Power is generally supplied to the plating tank 7 by converting the AC into DC by a DC power supply 3 through a switch 2 from a commercial AC power supply 1, and connecting the anode side of the DC power supply 3 to the anode electrode 6 in the plating apparatus 7. The cathode side of the DC power supply device 3 is connected to the object 5 to be plated. The object to be plated 5 is pressed and fixed against the plating mask IO by the holding plate 4, the plating solution 8 is fed into the plating tank 7, and the switch 2 is closed, thereby direct current is passed through the power supply circuit and plating is performed.

When plating the object to be plated sequentially, open the switch 2 to cut off the current, then release the plating solution 8 from the plating tank 7, open the holding plate 4, and sequentially feed the object 5 to be plated. The object to be plated 5 is held down again by the holding plate 4, the plating solution 8 is sent into the plating tank 7 to fill it, the switch 2 is closed, the electricity is turned on, and the plating operation is repeated.

At this time, the plating bath 7 is filled with the plating solution 8, the switch 2 of the DC power source is still open, and there is a time before and after plating when no current flows. During this time, the inside of the plating tank 7 is composed of a noble metal plate, a base metal plate, and a plating solution. Due to the battery action, the DC power supply 3 moves from the base metal plate to be plated 5 to the anode electrode 6, which is a noble metal plate. Current flows through the internal resistance of Hydrogen gas is generated on the anode electrode 6 side by this reverse current, and the oxide film on the surface of the anode electrode 6 is reduced by this hydrogen gas, and the anode electrode 6 is consumed.
