Description

Plating basket device {plating basket}

The present invention relates to a plating basket apparatus used for plating a substrate for manufacturing a printed circuit board (PCB).

In general, thin film circuit boards, such as a printed circuit board (PCB), are manufactured through a plating process, and a substrate for manufacturing a PCB is mainly manufactured by electrolytic plating (electroplating) or electroless plating (chemical plating). It is to form various metal layers on the side.

In particular, the electroless plating operation proceeds in a state where the thin film-like plated bodies are immersed in the plating solution, and a plating basket device is widely known as an apparatus for dipping in the plating solution while passing a plurality of thin film-shaped plated bodies.

The above-described plating basket device has a plurality of compartments formed to hold the edges of the thin film-like plated bodies in a latching contact, and the storage gaps are spaced slightly apart with the thin film-shaped plated bodies upright. It consists of a structure that can be mounted.

However, according to the structure of the conventional basket apparatus for plating, it is difficult to mount each thin film-like plated body in a flat unfolded state because it simply mounts the thin film-like plated bodies to be inserted into the storage gap side.

Therefore, a phenomenon in which some surfaces come into contact between the housed thin film-like plated bodies can easily occur, and such a contact phenomenon can be a major factor causing poor quality during the plating operation.

In particular, in recent years, since the thickness of thin-film circuit boards such as PCBs is gradually manufactured to be ultra-thin (approximately 0.04 mm to 0.06 mm), it is possible to suppress the contact between ultra-thin plated bodies that may easily cause surface deformation during plating. Only if it can be mounted quickly and quickly can satisfactory workability and plating quality be obtained.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems,
