摘要:
An electroplating machine is disclosed as including an electrode positioning apparatus, an electrolyte delivery apparatus, an apparatus for covering a roller, an apparatus for dissolving copper oxide powder in an electrolyte passing through the apparatus, and an apparatus allowing the variation of the distance between two rollers. The electrode positioning apparatus has a first open end and a second end joined by two sets of connecting members, in which the connecting members in each set are parallel to one another and equally spaced from the adjacent member. The electrolyte delivery apparatus includes a pipe connected to a source of electrolyte and a nozzle through which the electrolyte is deliverable to an electrode mounted on the electrode positioning apparatus. The nozzle includes an elongate gap and the electrolyte exits the nozzle continuously along the entire length of the elongate gap. The electrode positioning and the electrolyte delivery apparatus are slidably engageable with each other. The covering apparatus is elongate in shape and includes a cavity for accommodating a majority part of the outside surface of a roller. The apparatus for dissolving copper oxide powder in an electrolyte includes an upper chamber and a lower chamber, in which electrolyte low in copper ion concentration enters the upper chamber though its lower part, and exits the upper chamber through its upper part. A vortex is formed in a porous pot in the upper chamber to facilitate dissolution of copper oxide powder in the electrolyte. As to the apparatus allowing the variation of the distance between an upper roller and a lower roller, such includes a primary part attachable to a wall of the electroplating machine, and a second part movable relative to the primary part. In response to entry of a PCB into the area between the two rollers, the upper roller is caused to move vertically upward, which also causes the secondary part to move vertically upward.
