- Embodiment 1 The configuration of the plating electrode 100 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.
- the plating electrode 100 is a plating electrode for forming a plating film PF on a part of the surface PP of the object to be plated PM by the plating solution PS.
- the surface to be plated PP is one of the surfaces constituting the object to be plated PM.
- the plating electrode 100 is a plating electrode for forming a plating film PF on the PR to be plated.
- the part to be plated PR is a part of the surface to be plated PP.
- the plating electrode 100 includes a nozzle 1 and a holding portion 2.
- the nozzle 1 includes a tip portion 1e.
- the nozzle 1 is a nozzle for supplying the plating solution PS through the tip portion 1e.
- the nozzle 1 is configured to apply a voltage.
- the plating electrode 100 and the PR to be plated are electrically connected to the power supply 3. Therefore, the plating electrode 100 according to the present embodiment has a function as a nozzle for supplying the plating solution PS and a function as an electrode to which a voltage is applied.
- the material of the nozzle 1 is a material that does not melt in the plating solution PS or a material that does not easily melt in the plating solution PS.
- the material of the nozzle 1 is a conductor.
- the nozzle 1 is made of any material selected from the group consisting of platinum (Pt), titanium-platinum (Ti-Pt), titanium-iridium oxide (Ti-IrO 2 ), stainless steel (SUS) and carbon (C). Includes.
- platinum (Pt) titanium-platinum
- Ti-IrO 2 titanium-iridium oxide
- SUS stainless steel
- C carbon
- the material of the nozzle 1 is titanium (Ti) -platinum (Pt)
- an electrode to be plated in which a platinum (Pt) plating film PF is formed on a titanium (Ti) substrate may be used as the nozzle 1. ..
- the nozzle 1 may be configured to supply a degreasing agent, an acid detergent, a neutralizing agent, and pure water, which will be described later, to the PR to be plated.
- the holding portion 2 is a holding portion for holding the plating solution PS. Therefore, the holding portion 2 is configured to hold the plating solution PS.
- the holding portion 2 is configured so that the plating solution PS is impregnated into the holding portion 2. By impregnating the holding portion 2 with the plating solution PS, the plating solution PS is held in the holding portion 2. In a state where the holding portion 2 is impregnated with the plating solution PS, the surface of the holding portion 2 is wet with the plating solution PS. In a state where the holding portion 2 is impregnated with the plating solution PS, the holding portion 2 is in contact with the portion to be plated PR. The nozzle 1 is connected to the plated portion PR via the holding portion 2 impregnated with the plating solution PS.
- the material of the holding portion 2 is, for example, a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric. As long as the holding portion 2 can hold the plating solution PS, the material of the holding portion 2 may be appropriately determined.
- the holding portion 2 is an insulator
- the holding portion 2 covers the tip portion 1e of the nozzle 1.
- the holding portion 2 may cover the side surface 1s of the nozzle 1.
- the holding portion 2 has a flat surface.
- the holding portion 2 is in contact with the plated portion PR on a flat surface. As long as the holding portion 2 covers the tip portion 1e, the shape of the holding portion 2 may be appropriately determined.
- the tip portion 1e is provided with a plurality of openings OP.
- the holding portion 2 covers each of the plurality of openings OP.
- the nozzle 1 is configured to supply the plating solution PS through a plurality of openings OP.
- each of the plurality of openings OP is, for example, circular.
- the dimensions of each of the plurality of openings OP may be the same as each other.
- the distance between the plurality of adjacent openings OPs may be the same as each other. Therefore, the plurality of openings OP may be uniformly arranged.
- Each of the plurality of openings OP may be provided point-symmetrically with respect to the center of the tip portion 1e.
- each of the plurality of openings OP may be a polygon such as a square shape. Therefore, each of the plurality of openings OP may be configured as a slit.
- the slit is a penetrating portion having an elongated rectangular shape. If the plating solution PS is uniformly supplied, the shape and arrangement of the opening OP may be appropriately determined.
- the plurality of openings OP may include a plurality of first openings OP1, a plurality of second openings OP2, and a plurality of third openings OP3.
- the plurality of first openings OP1 are arranged so as to form the outer shape of the first square Q1.
- the plurality of second openings OP2 are arranged so as to form the outer shape of the second square Q2.
- the plurality of third openings OP3 are arranged so as to form the outer shape of the third square Q3.
- the second square Q2 is arranged so as to surround the first square Q1.
- the third square Q3 is arranged so as to surround the second square Q2.
- the aperture ratio of the tip portion 1e is, for example, 5% or more and 25% or less.
- the aperture ratio is the ratio of the area of the opening OP to the area of the entire tip portion 1e.
- the aperture ratio of the tip portion 1e is less than 5%, the discharge amount of the plating solution PS supplied from the nozzle 1 is small. Therefore, the amount of liquid supplied to the holding portion 2 is small. As a result, the distribution of the plating solution PS impregnated in the holding portion 2 becomes non-uniform. Therefore, the film formation rate is low. In addition, the film formation rate varies. Therefore, when the aperture ratio of the tip portion 1e is less than 5%, the production efficiency of the plating film PF decreases.
- the aperture ratio of the tip portion 1e is larger than 25%, the amount of the plating solution PS supplied from the nozzle 1 is large. Therefore, the amount of liquid supplied from the nozzle 1 to the holding portion 2 is larger than the amount of liquid that can be held by the holding portion 2. As a result, the plating solution PS is saturated in the holding portion 2. The saturated plating solution PS leaks from the inside of the holding portion 2 to the outside of the holding portion 2. Therefore, the distribution of the plating solution PS becomes non-uniform. Therefore, the film formation rate varies.
- the plating film PF is also formed outside the PR to be plated. Therefore, the plating film PF may be formed in a region where it is not desirable to form the plating film PF.
- the plating film PF is less likely to be formed under the opening OP than directly under the unopened region of the tip portion 1e. Therefore, the film formation rate is lower directly under the opening OP than directly under the unopened region of the tip portion 1e. Therefore, the film formation rate is low depending on the position where the plating film PF is formed. If the aperture ratio of the tip portion 1e is larger than 25%, the ratio of the area of the opening OP to the total area of the tip portion 1e is larger than 25%, so that the ratio of the portion having a low film formation rate is also higher than 25%. big. Since the proportion of the portion having a low film formation rate is large, the thickness of the plating film PF varies. Therefore, it is difficult for the plating film PF to be uniformly deposited.
- the aperture ratio is set by the number of holes and the area of each of the plurality of openings OP.
- the number of holes is the number of openings OP. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the number of holes is preferably 5 or more.
- the maximum number of holes is determined according to the shape and dimensions of the tip portion 1e of the nozzle 1. For example, when the shape of the tip portion 1e of the nozzle 1 is a square of 100 mm ⁇ 100 mm, the maximum number of holes is 1000 holes.
- the number of holes is less than 5, the amount of plating liquid PS discharged per hole is large. Further, the distribution of the plating solution PS supplied to the holding portion 2 becomes non-uniform. As a result, the amount of the plating solution PS supplied to the holding portion 2 varies. Therefore, the distribution of the plating solution PS in the holding portion 2 becomes non-uniform. Therefore, the film formation rate varies. Therefore, when the number of holes is less than 5, the production efficiency of the plating film PF is lowered.

When the plating film PF is silver-plated, burning is particularly likely to occur. Further, if the contact pressure is larger than 2.0 kgf / cm 2 (196.13 kPa), the deposited plating film PF is worn by contact with the plating electrode 100.

Further, the amount of the plating solution PS supplied to the holding portion 2 is adjusted. Specifically, the supply amount of the plating solution PS is adjusted by adjusting the pump 7 (see FIG. 9), the valve for supplying the plating solution PS, and the valve for adjusting the liquid amount. The plating solution PS is supplied to the holding portion 2 through the opening OP (see FIG. 1) of the nozzle 1. As a result, the plating solution PS is held in the holding portion 2.

- the relative speed between the moving plating electrode 100 and the fixed PR to be plated is preferably 12.5 m / min (minutes) or more and 17.5 m / min (minutes). If the relative speed is less than 12.5 m / min (minutes), the plating film PF is likely to be burnt. Therefore, a sound plating film PF cannot be obtained. When the plating film PF is silver-plated, the plating film PF is particularly prone to burning. Further, if the relative speed is larger than 17.5 m / min (minutes), the deposited plating film PF is worn by the holding portion 2.

Therefore, a voltage can be applied to the plating solution PS supplied by the nozzle 1 via the nozzle 1. Therefore, the plating film PF can be selectively formed on the portion to which the plating solution PS is supplied by the nozzle 1. Therefore, the plating film PF can be selectively formed on a part of the surface to be plated PP (part to be plated PR).
- the plating film PF is formed on the surface PP to be plated larger than the size of the holding portion 2. Can not do it. That is, when the plating solution PS is supplied to the surface PP to be plated by contacting the entire surface of the surface PP to be plated with the holding portion 2, the dimensions of the product on which the plating film PF is formed are the dimensions of the holding portion 2. Limited to. Therefore, it is not possible to form a plating film PF on the surface PP of a medium-sized product or a large-sized product.
- the plating film PF is formed on the portion of the surface PP to be plated that is in contact with the plating electrode 100. Therefore, it is not necessary for the entire surface of the surface to be plated PP to come into contact with the holding portion 2. Therefore, the dimensions of the product on which the plating film PF is formed are not limited to the dimensions of the holding portion 2. Therefore, the plating film PF can be formed on the portion PR to be plated even when the size of the portion PR to be plated is large.

- the nozzle 1 is configured to supply the plating solution PS through a plurality of openings OP. Therefore, the flow rate of the plating solution PS can be controlled as compared with the case where a single opening OP is provided. As a result, the plating solution PS can be uniformly supplied. Therefore, it is possible to form a plating film PF having a uniform film thickness.
- the nozzle 1 contains any material selected from the group consisting of platinum (Pt), titanium-platinum (Ti-Pt), titanium-iridium oxide (Ti-IrO2), stainless steel (SUS) and carbon (C). I'm out. Therefore, a voltage can be applied to the nozzle 1.
- the plurality of openings OP are configured as slits. Therefore, the area of the opening OP per the length of the side of the opening OP can be made smaller than that in the case where the plurality of opening OPs are circular (see FIG. 2). As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the amount of the plating solution PS supplied to the holding portion 2 can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the plating solution PS from being excessively supplied to the holding portion 2. If the area of the opening OP is large, the amount of the plating solution PS supplied to the holding portion 2 becomes large, so that the plating solution PS is excessively supplied to the holding portion 2.

Therefore, the plating film PF can be selectively formed on a part of the object to be plated PM.
- the plating electrode 100 slides on the plated portion PR in a state where the plated electrode 100 is connected to the plated portion PR. Therefore, the relative speed between the plating electrode 100 and the PR to be plated is more likely to be stable than when the plating electrode 100 moves away from the PR to be plated.
