Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 to 5, the jig swing device (hereinafter referred to as 'swing device') of the electroplating equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention is largely the support frame 100, the swing drive unit 200 and the forward and backward drive Unit 300.

Looking at each configuration below,

The support frame 100 is

As disposed above the plating bath 10,

As shown in Figures 2 and 3,

Lower frame 110;

An upper frame 120 spaced apart from the upper side of the lower frame 110; And

A vertical frame 130 connecting the lower and upper frames 110 and 120;

.

The lower frame 110 is formed in a rectangular frame shape and has a width corresponding to that of the plating bath 10.

The upper frame 120 has a rectangular frame shape but has a narrower width than the lower frame 110 and is disposed to cross the center of the plating bath 10 when viewed from above by the vertical frame 130. do.

The pivot drive unit 200 is

As installed on the support frame 100 to rotate the jig 20 contained in the plating bath 10,

As shown in Figures 2 to 5,

A driving motor 210 fixed to the support frame 100 so that the rotation shaft 211 is disposed downward;

Energizing means (230) for transmitting power to the hanger module (220);

.

As shown in Figure 2 and 3, the swing drive unit 200 may be provided with a plurality along the longitudinal direction of the upper frame (120).

Here, the jig 20 is for fixing the plated body 40, a bar-shaped support 21 and a fixed portion of the plated body 40 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the support 21. And a locking portion 23 formed at an upper end of the support 21.

The jig 20 is made of a conductor so as to transfer power to the plated body 40.

In addition, an inner space portion 41 is formed in the plated body 40, and the plated body 40 is fixed by fitting the space portion 41 to the fixing portion 22.

The drive motor 210 is installed on the upper frame 120 of the support frame 100, the rotating shaft 211 is installed so as to be disposed downward.

Accordingly, the hanger module 220 is coupled to the drive motor 210 and disposed vertically, and is rotated together with the rotation shaft 211 when the drive motor 210 is driven.

The drive motor 210 is a motor capable of rotating in one direction or in both directions, and considering the plating quality, it is preferable to operate so as to rotate alternately in both directions.

As shown in FIG. 5, the hanger module 220 has a male and female upper end portion coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the rotation shaft 211 of the driving motor 210.

However, the hanger module 220 may be coupled in various ways, such as by coupling to the rotating shaft 211 of the drive motor 210 using a known coupling (coupling).

As a result, when the jig 20 and the hanger module 220 are coupled to each other, the holding part 222a having a bifurcated shape supports both ends of the locking part 23, so that the rotational force of the driving motor 210 is increased. The jig 20 can be smoothly transmitted.

As a result, the jig 20 is rotated in the plating bath 10 by the driving motor 210 and the hanger module 220. The plating liquid is applied to the surface of the plated body 40 by the turning operation. Bubbles can easily penetrate and be removed, and in particular, the plating liquid can be smoothly introduced into the space portion 41 of the plated body 40, whereby the plating quality is reduced by the air remaining in the space portion 41. Can be effectively prevented.

On the other hand, the hanger module 220 as shown in Figure 4 and 5,

It comprises a hinge shaft 223 is fastened through the mounting portion (221a) of the upper rod 221 and the corresponding mounting portion (222b) of the lower rod 222.

As a result, the lower rod 222 swings about the hinge shaft 223 during the pivoting operation of the hanger module 220 by the driving motor 210, thereby removing bubbles from the plated object 40. Can be further improved.

Here, the hinge shaft 223 may be formed in various forms such as pins or bolts.

The energization means 230 is shown in Figures 4 and 5,

A relay member 231 connected to a power supply cable 30 and inserted into an outer circumferential surface of the hanger module 220 to be revolved;

The hanger module 220 is formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof and includes a supporter 232 supporting the relay member 231.

In this case, the relay member 231 is formed in an annular shape and is loosely fitted to the upper rod 221, and the support 232 is formed in the form of a flange and integrally formed at the center of the upper rod 221.

As a result, the energizing means 230 is supported by the cable 30 during the pivoting operation of the hanger module 220 as the relay member 231 is loosely fitted to the upper rod 221. Is turned, but the bottom surface is in contact with the upper surface of the support 232 formed on the upper rod 221, so that smooth power transfer to the hanger module 220 is a swing operation.

The forward and backward drive unit 300 is

By rocking the support frame 100 to further improve the bubble removal effect on the plated object 40,

As shown in Figures 2 and 3,

A driving unit 320 providing a forward and backward driving force to the support frame 100; And

A relay module 330 connecting the driving unit 320 and the support frame 100 to each other;

.

As shown, the sliding module 310 is composed of a plurality of rollers provided on the upper surface of the plating bath 10 to support the lower frame 110 to slide.

The slide module 310 may have a variety of structures, such as applying a known LM guide (Linear Motion Guide), in addition to the structure using a roller.

And the drive unit 320 is made of a motor,

The relay module 330 is a circular plate 331 connected to the rotation shaft 321 of the drive unit 320, one end is pivotally coupled to the plate 331, the other end is the lower frame 110 The connecting member 332 is pivotally coupled.

Here, the plate 331 has a coupling hole 331a formed at the center thereof and a plurality of fastening holes 331b formed to have different eccentric distances from the coupling hole 331a.

As a result, the rotating shaft 321 of the driving unit 320 is coupled to the coupling hole 331a, and one end of the connecting member 332 is selectively coupled to each of the coupling holes 331b, thereby providing the retraction driving unit. The swing distance of the support frame 100 by 300 can be easily adjusted.
