Description
本発明は、ワークにメッキなどの表面処理を施す表面処理装置に関する。
The present invention relates to a surface treatment apparatus that applies surface treatment such as plating to a work.
回路基板等のワークをメッキする装置では、特許文献1に示すように、メッキ液中に垂下されたワークに向けて、メッキ液中にて縦設されたノズル管の縦方向に沿って配列された複数のノズルよりメッキ液を噴射させている。
In a device for plating a work such as a circuit board, as shown in Patent Document 1, the work is arranged along the vertical direction of a nozzle tube vertically installed in the plating liquid toward the work hanging in the plating liquid. The plating solution is sprayed from multiple nozzles.
回路基板や半導体ウエハ等のワークをメッキする装置では、特許文献2及び3に示すように、ノズル管に代えて、処理液を攪拌するパドルを用いている。特許文献2のパドルは攪拌棒であり、特許文献3のパドルは複数の縦長孔が貫通形成された矩形板であり、これらパドルはワークの主面と平行に往復移動される。特許文献1のノズルを特許文献2または3のパドルに設けることは、特許文献4~6に開示されている。
As shown in Patent Documents 2 and 3, in a device for plating a workpiece such as a circuit board or a semiconductor wafer, a paddle for stirring a processing liquid is used instead of a nozzle tube. The paddle of Patent Document 2 is a stirring rod, and the paddle of Patent Document 3 is a rectangular plate having a plurality of vertically elongated holes formed through the paddle, and these paddles are reciprocated in parallel with the main surface of the work. It is disclosed in Patent Documents 4 to 6 that the nozzle of Patent Document 1 is provided in the paddle of Patent Document 2 or 3.
しかし、特許文献1のノズル管はワークの幅方向で間隔をあけて配置され、しかも、各ノズル管には縦方向で間隔をあけてノズルが配置されるので、ワークに均一にメッキ液を吐出することが困難である。一方、特許文献2のパドルはメッキ液を撹拌するだけである。特許文献4~6では、液噴射ポンプで圧送される処理液が、移動するパドルからワークに向けて噴出されるが、ノズルの位置に依存して処理の面内均一性が改善されないことは特許文献1と同様である。しかも、特許文献4~6ではパドルを移動するため駆動源に加え液噴射ポンプも必要となる。
However, since the nozzle tubes of Patent Document 1 are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the work and the nozzles are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction in each nozzle tube, the plating solution is uniformly discharged to the work. It is difficult to do. On the other hand, the paddle of Patent Document 2 only stirs the plating solution. In Patent Documents 4 to 6, the processing liquid pumped by the liquid injection pump is ejected from the moving paddle toward the work, but it is patented that the in-plane uniformity of the processing is not improved depending on the position of the nozzle. It is the same as Document 1. Moreover, in Patent Documents 4 to 6, since the paddle is moved, a liquid injection pump is required in addition to the drive source.
本発明は、液噴射ポンプを要することなく、ワークに向けて噴出される処理液の面内不均一性を低減して、ワークの表面処理の面内均一性を高め、しかもスループットを高めることができる表面処理装置を提供することを目的とする。
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the in-plane non-uniformity of the treatment liquid ejected toward the work, improve the in-plane uniformity of the surface treatment of the work, and increase the throughput without requiring a liquid injection pump. It is an object of the present invention to provide a surface treatment apparatus capable of capable.

A treatment tank that houses the treatment liquid and
With the anode arranged in the processing tank,
A jig that hangs and holds the work immersed in the treatment liquid and sets the work as the cathode.
A liquid ejection member arranged in the processing liquid between the anode and the work, and

Have,
The liquid ejection member comprises at least a pair of plate members formed between the anode and the work along the extending direction toward the work and arranged apart from each other in a direction intersecting the extending direction.

本発明の一態様によれば、処理液中に垂下されるワークに対して液噴出部材を移動することで、ノズル管を用いずに、ワークに向けて処理液を噴射することができる。つまり、液噴出部材の移動により処理槽内で流動する処理液を、少なくとも一対の板材間で案内して前記ワークに向けて噴出させる。それにより、処理液がワークと衝突することで、陽極付近にある表面処理成分が豊富なフレッシュな処理液をワークに供給することができ、スループットが向上する。また、移動される液噴出部材の少なくとも一対の板材間により処理液をワークに噴出できるので、ノズル管の複数のノズルから処理液を噴出させるものと比較して、ワーク面内の処理の均一性が向上する。
According to one aspect of the present invention, by moving the liquid ejection member with respect to the work hanging in the treatment liquid, the treatment liquid can be ejected toward the work without using a nozzle tube. That is, the processing liquid flowing in the processing tank due to the movement of the liquid ejection member is guided between at least a pair of plate materials and ejected toward the work. As a result, the treatment liquid collides with the work, so that a fresh treatment liquid having abundant surface treatment components near the anode can be supplied to the work, and the throughput is improved. Further, since the treatment liquid can be ejected to the work by at least a pair of plates of the liquid ejection member to be moved, the uniformity of the treatment in the work surface is compared with the one in which the treatment liquid is ejected from a plurality of nozzles of the nozzle tube. Is improved.

The moving mechanism moves the liquid ejection member in a reciprocating direction parallel to the work.
The liquid ejection member is
A first guide body having two surfaces intersecting the reciprocating direction,
A second guide body and a third guide body arranged via a gap between the two surfaces of the first guide body and the third guide body, respectively.
Including
The at least pair of plate materials
A first pair of plate materials formed by the first guide body and the second guide body, and
A second pair of plate members formed by the first guide body and the third guide body is included.
When the liquid ejection member moves in the forward movement direction of the reciprocating direction, the processing liquid blocked by the first guide body is guided along the pair of the first plate members to the work. Squirt towards
When the liquid ejection member moves in the return direction of the reciprocating direction, the treatment liquid dampened by the first guide body is guided along between the second pair of plate members to the work. It relates to a surface treatment device that ejects toward.
こうすると、液噴出部材の例えば往動時には第1、第2ガイド体で形成される第1の一対の板材間に沿って案内される処理液がワークに噴出され、液噴出部材の例えば復動時には第1、第3ガイド体で形成される第2の一対の板材間に沿って案内される処理液がワークに噴出される。
Then, for example, when the liquid ejecting member moves forward, the processing liquid guided along between the first pair of plate members formed by the first and second guide bodies is ejected to the work, and the liquid ejecting member, for example, is restored. Occasionally, a treatment liquid guided along between the second pair of plate members formed by the first and third guide bodies is ejected onto the work.
(3)本発明の一態様(2)では、前記陽極は、前記ワークの両側に配置される第1陽極及び第2陽極を含むことができ、前記液噴出部材は、前記第1陽極と前記ワークとの間に配置される第1液噴出部材と、前記第2陽極と前記ワークとの間に配置される第2液噴出部材と、を含むことができ、前記移動機構は、前記第1液噴出部材を移動する第1移動機構と、前記第2液噴出部材を移動する第2移動機構と、を含むことができる。こうして、ワークの両面を処理することができる。
(3) In one aspect (2) of the present invention, the anode can include a first anode and a second anode arranged on both sides of the work, and the liquid ejection member includes the first anode and the above. The first liquid ejection member arranged between the work and the second liquid ejection member arranged between the second anode and the work can be included, and the moving mechanism can include the first liquid ejection member. A first moving mechanism for moving the liquid ejection member and a second moving mechanism for moving the second liquid ejection member can be included. In this way, both sides of the work can be processed.
(4)本発明の一態様(3)では、前記第1移動機構に駆動力を付与する第1駆動源と、前記第2移動機構に駆動力を付与する第2駆動源とをさらに有し、前記第1液噴出部材と前記第2液噴出部材とは非同期で駆動されても良い。第1、第2液噴出部材がワークを挟んで正対すると、ワークの同一領域にてその両面に向けて処理液が噴出されることになる。ワークが両面に貫通するスルーホールを有する場合、処理液がスルーホールを通り抜け難くなる。第1、第2液噴出部材の一往復移動中において第1、第2液噴出部材が正対する位置は、第1、第2液噴出部材を同期して移動させるとワークに対して常に同じになるが、第1、第2液噴出部材を非同期で移動させることでワークに対して毎回異ならせることができる。これにより、処理液がスルーホールを通り抜け易くなる。
(4) In one aspect (3) of the present invention, the first drive source for applying a driving force to the first moving mechanism and the second driving source for applying a driving force to the second moving mechanism are further provided. The first liquid ejection member and the second liquid ejection member may be driven asynchronously. When the first and second liquid ejection members face each other with the work sandwiched between them, the treatment liquid is ejected toward both sides of the same region of the work. When the work has through holes penetrating on both sides, it becomes difficult for the treatment liquid to pass through the through holes. During one reciprocating movement of the first and second liquid ejection members, the positions facing the first and second liquid ejection members are always the same with respect to the work when the first and second liquid ejection members are moved synchronously. However, by moving the first and second liquid ejection members asynchronously, the work can be made different each time. This makes it easier for the treatment liquid to pass through the through holes.
(5)本発明の一態様(3)または(4)では、前記処理槽は、前記ワークを保持した前記治具が前記処理槽の上方から降下されて装着されることで、第1槽と第2槽とに区画されても良い。こうして、第1液噴出部材は第1槽内の処理液を撹拌し、第2液噴出部材は第2槽内の処理液を撹拌することができ、しかも、一方の槽での撹拌が他方の槽に与える悪影響を排除できる。
(5) In one aspect (3) or (4) of the present invention, the processing tank is attached to the first tank by the jig holding the work being lowered from above the processing tank and mounted. It may be partitioned into a second tank. In this way, the first liquid ejection member can agitate the treatment liquid in the first tank, the second liquid ejection member can agitate the treatment liquid in the second tank, and the stirring in one tank is the other. The adverse effect on the tank can be eliminated.
(6)本発明の一態様(5)では、前記処理槽は、前記往復方向で両端に位置する2つの側壁部の外側に、前記第1槽及び前記第2槽に連通して前記処理液を収容するバッファ槽をそれぞれ含むことができる。こうすると、第1液噴出部材及び第2液噴出部材によって処理槽の両端に押し寄せられた処理液をバッファ槽に逃がすことができる。こうして、処理槽の両端にて発生する処理液の反射波の影響を低減できる。また、バッファ槽を介して、第1槽と第2槽との間での処理液の流通を確保することもできる。
(6) In one aspect (5) of the present invention, the treatment tank communicates with the first tank and the second tank on the outside of two side wall portions located at both ends in the reciprocating direction, and the treatment liquid. Can each include a buffer tank for accommodating. By doing so, the processing liquid that has been pushed to both ends of the processing tank by the first liquid ejection member and the second liquid ejection member can be released to the buffer tank. In this way, the influence of the reflected wave of the treatment liquid generated at both ends of the treatment tank can be reduced. Further, it is also possible to secure the flow of the treatment liquid between the first tank and the second tank via the buffer tank.
(7)本発明の一態様(5)では、前記処理槽は、前記往復方向と平行な方向で連結され、かつ、第1バッファ槽により区画される第1処理槽と第2処理槽とを含むことができる。前記治具は、第1ワークを保持して前記第1処理槽を前記第1槽と前記第2槽とに区画する第1治具と、第2ワークを保持して前記第2処理槽を前記第1槽と前記第2槽とに区画する第2治具と、を含むことができる。前記第1バッファ槽は、前記第1処理槽の前記第1槽と、前記第2処理槽の前記第1槽と、前記第1処理槽の前記第2槽と、前記第2処理槽の前記第2槽との間で前記処理液を流通させることができる。前記第1処理槽は、前記往復方向の一端に位置する第1側壁部の外側に、前記第1処理槽中の前記第1槽及び前記第2槽の間で前記処理液を流通させる第2バッファ槽を含むことができる。前記第2処理槽は、前記往復方向の他端に位置する第2側壁部の外側に、前記第2処理槽中の前記第1槽及び前記第2槽の間で前記処理液を流通させる第3バッファ槽を含むことができる。こうして、第1ワーク及び第2ワークを同時に処理することができ、その際に、本発明の一実施形態(6)と同様の作用・効果を奏することができる。
(7) In one aspect (5) of the present invention, the treatment tank is connected to the reciprocating direction in a direction parallel to the reciprocating direction, and the first treatment tank and the second treatment tank are partitioned by the first buffer tank. Can include. The jig holds the first work and divides the first treatment tank into the first tank and the second tank, and holds the second work and holds the second treatment tank. A second jig for partitioning the first tank and the second tank can be included.

The electrodes 15A to 15D shown in FIG. 4 and the electrodes 15E to 15H shown in FIG. 5 are electrodes in a region between two adjacent clampers in order to prevent plating from adhering and to adjust the amount of electrode exposure. The exposed portion can be covered with variable position-adjustable insulators 17A-17D (see Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-15827 by the applicant of the present application).
なお、クランパーは、治具10の穴14のうちワークWの周囲に形成されるわずかな隙間を覆ってワークWを保持することができるものであっても良い。こうして、治具10及びワークWと、表面処理槽100Aの支持部110、120とにより、表面処理槽100A内をワークWの表裏に位置する第1槽101と第2槽102とに、ほぼ完全に仕切ることができる。
The clamper may be one that can hold the work W by covering a slight gap formed around the work W in the holes 14 of the jig 10. In this way, the jig 10 and the work W, and the support portions 110 and 120 of the surface treatment tank 100A, make the inside of the surface treatment tank 100A almost completely into the first tank 101 and the second tank 102 located on the front and back of the work W. Can be partitioned into.
1.4.整流器
本実施形態では、少なくともワークWの表面WF及び裏面WBに流れる電流を独立して設定するために、図6(A)~図6(C)に示すように、複数の整流器を設けることが好ましい。図6(A)では、2つの整流器300A、300Bが設けられ、整流器300AはワークWの表面WFと接触するクランプ片31~34と電気的に接続され、整流器300BはワークWの裏面WBと接触するクランプ片41~44と電気的に接続される。2つの整流器300A、300Bを独立して制御することで、ワークWの表面WF及び裏面WBに流れる電流を独立して設定することができる。こうして、ワークWは、表面WF及び裏面WBでの各メッキ面積が大きく異なっても、メッキ面積やメッキ箇所に応じて電流を調整することができる。なお、この場合には、2つの整流器300A、300Bが第1陽極142及び第2陽極152に電気的に接続される接点は、例えば、第1陽極142及び第2陽極152の各中心に配置される。 1.4.

By independently controlling the two rectifiers 300A and 300B, the current flowing through the front surface WF and the back surface WB of the work W can be set independently. In this way, the work W can adjust the current according to the plating area and the plating location even if the plating areas on the front surface WF and the back surface WB are significantly different. In this case, the contact points through which the two rectifiers 300A and 300B are electrically connected to the first anode 142 and the second anode 152 are arranged at the centers of the first anode 142 and the second anode 152, for example.

The rectifier 310D is electrically connected to the clamp pieces 43, 42L, 44L that come into contact with the lower region of the back surface WB of the work W. By doing so, it becomes possible to independently control the current flowing in the two regions of the upper region and the lower region of the work W, that is, the total of four regions on the front and back sides, on each of the front surface WF and the back surface WB of the work W. In this case, the contacts in which the four rectifiers 310A to 310D are electrically connected to the first anode 142 and the second anode 152 are the upper region of the first anode 142, the lower region of the first anode 142, and the first. The two anodes 152 are arranged so as to correspond to a total of four regions, the upper region of the anode 152 and the lower region of the second anode 152.

1.5.液噴出部材
液噴出部材200は、ワークWの表面WFと第1陽極142との間に配置される第1液噴出部材200Aと、ワークWの裏面WBと第2陽極152との間に配置される第2液噴出部材200Bと、を含むことができる。第1液噴出部材200Aは、第1往復移動機構270(第1移動機構)Aにより、ワークWの表面WFと平行な往復方向に移動される。第2液噴出部材200Bは、第2往復移動機構(第2移動機構)270Bにより、ワークWの裏面WBと平行な往復方向に移動される。第1、第2往復移動機構270A、270Bは、スライダ・クランク機構、偏心カム等の各種の回転運動-往復直線運動変換機構を利用することができ、ここでは詳細な説明は省略する。 1.5. Liquid ejection member Theliquid ejection member 200 is provided between the first liquid ejection member 200A arranged between the front surface WF of the work W and the first anode 142, and between the back surface WB of the work W and the second anode 152. The second liquid ejection member 200B to be arranged can be included. The first liquid ejection member 200A is moved in the reciprocating direction parallel to the surface WF of the work W by the first reciprocating moving mechanism 270 (first moving mechanism) A. The second liquid ejection member 200B is moved in the reciprocating direction parallel to the back surface WB of the work W by the second reciprocating moving mechanism (second moving mechanism) 270B. The first and second reciprocating movement mechanisms 270A and 270B can utilize various rotary motion-reciprocating linear motion conversion mechanisms such as a slider / crank mechanism and an eccentric cam, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.
液噴出部材200は、ワークWの表面WFと第1陽極142との間に配置される第1液噴出部材200Aと、ワークWの裏面WBと第2陽極152との間に配置される第2液噴出部材200Bと、を含むことができる。第1液噴出部材200Aは、第1往復移動機構270(第1移動機構)Aにより、ワークWの表面WFと平行な往復方向に移動される。第2液噴出部材200Bは、第2往復移動機構(第2移動機構)270Bにより、ワークWの裏面WBと平行な往復方向に移動される。第1、第2往復移動機構270A、270Bは、スライダ・クランク機構、偏心カム等の各種の回転運動-往復直線運動変換機構を利用することができ、ここでは詳細な説明は省略する。 1.5. Liquid ejection member The
本実施形態では、ワークWの表面WF及び裏面WBに対して各一つの液噴出部材200A、200Bを設けている。液噴出部材200A、200Bは、ワークWの幅よりも長い移動ストロークで往復移動されることが好ましい。こうすると、ワークWの幅方向の端部と重なった位置で液噴出部材200A、200Bが折り返すことがなくなる。よって、液噴出部材200が陰極―陽極間での電界の影となる時間が、ワークWの両端と両端以外の位置とで異なることがなくなる。ワークWの表面WF及び裏面WBの各面に対して、複数の液噴出部材を設けても良い。こうすると、各一つの液噴出部材の移動ストロークは短くできる。ただし、陽極142,152に対して液噴出部材200が電界の影となる時間が、ワークWの領域(例えば両端と中央)によって異なる点で不利となる。
In the present embodiment, one liquid ejection member 200A and 200B are provided for each of the front surface WF and the back surface WB of the work W. It is preferable that the liquid ejection members 200A and 200B are reciprocated with a movement stroke longer than the width of the work W. By doing so, the liquid ejection members 200A and 200B will not be folded back at the position where they overlap with the end portion in the width direction of the work W. Therefore, the time during which the liquid ejection member 200 is the shadow of the electric field between the cathode and the anode does not differ between both ends of the work W and positions other than both ends. A plurality of liquid ejection members may be provided on each surface of the front surface WF and the back surface WB of the work W. By doing so, the moving stroke of each liquid ejection member can be shortened. However, it is disadvantageous in that the time when the liquid ejection member 200 is in the shadow of the electric field with respect to the anodes 142 and 152 differs depending on the region of the work W (for example, both ends and the center).
液噴出部材200(200A及び200B)は、図3に示すように、往復方向と交差例えば直交する二面を有する第1ガイド体210と、第1ガイド体210の例えば両側にて、第1ガイド体210の二面と間隙を介してそれぞれ配置される第2ガイド体220及び第3ガイド体230と、を含む。第1~第3ガイド体210~230のうち隣り合う各2つのガイド体は、陽極142,152とワークWとの間でワークWに向かう延在方向に沿って形成され、かつ、その延在方向と交差する方向で離間して配置される各一対の板材を構成する。図2に示すように、ワークWの少なくとも垂直長さに亘って伸びる高さを有する。第1ガイド体210と第2ガイド体220とで形成される第1の一対の板材間に、第1通路201が形成される。第1ガイド体210と第3ガイド体230とで形成される第2の一対の板材間に、第2通路202が形成される。第1ガイド体210は、第2ガイド体220及び第3ガイド体230よりも例えば長く形成され、その両端部が第2ガイド体220及び第3ガイド体230の対応する端部よりも突出している。また、第1ガイド体210のワークWと対向する端部は例えば先細り形状となっている。第1ガイド体210は、陽極ボックス140、150に近い側の端部が、ワークWと例えば平行に延びる基端部240に固定される。第2ガイド体220及び第3ガイド体230は、基端部240と例えば平行に延びる第4ガイド体250をさらに有することができる。第2ガイド体220から延びる第4ガイド体250と基端部240との間に第3通路203が形成される。第3通路203は、第1通路201と連通され、第1通路201へ処理液を導く。同様に、第3ガイド体230から延びる第4ガイド体250と基端部240との間に第4通路204が形成される。第4通路204は、第2通路202と連通され、第2通路202へ処理液を導く。第1ガイド体210と、第2ガイド体220及び第3ガイド体230とは、平板のスペーサー260により一定の間隔を保って連結される。このスペーサー260は、図2に示すように、高さ方向で間隔をあけて複数設けることができる。
As shown in FIG. 3, the liquid ejection member 200 (200A and 200B) has a first guide body 210 having two surfaces intersecting, for example, orthogonal to each other in the reciprocating direction, and a first guide body, for example, on both sides of the first guide body 210. It includes two sides of the body 210 and a second guide body 220 and a third guide body 230, which are arranged via a gap, respectively. Each of the two adjacent guide bodies of the first to third guide bodies 210 to 230 is formed between the anodes 142 and 152 and the work W along the extending direction toward the work W, and is extended thereof. Each pair of plates are arranged apart from each other in a direction intersecting the direction. As shown in FIG. 2, it has a height extending over at least the vertical length of the work W. The first passage 201 is formed between the first pair of plate members formed by the first guide body 210 and the second guide body 220. A second passage 202 is formed between the second pair of plate members formed by the first guide body 210 and the third guide body 230. The first guide body 210 is formed, for example, longer than the second guide body 220 and the third guide body 230, and both ends thereof protrude from the corresponding ends of the second guide body 220 and the third guide body 230. .. Further, the end portion of the first guide body 210 facing the work W has, for example, a tapered shape. The end portion of the first guide body 210 on the side close to the anode boxes 140 and 150 is fixed to the base end portion 240 extending in parallel with the work W, for example. The second guide body 220 and the third guide body 230 can further have a fourth guide body 250 extending, for example, parallel to the proximal end portion 240. A third passage 203 is formed between the fourth guide body 250 extending from the second guide body 220 and the base end portion 240. The third passage 203 communicates with the first passage 201 and guides the processing liquid to the first passage 201. Similarly, a fourth passage 204 is formed between the fourth guide body 250 extending from the third guide body 230 and the base end portion 240. The fourth passage 204 communicates with the second passage 202 and guides the processing liquid to the second passage 202. The first guide body 210, the second guide body 220, and the third guide body 230 are connected to each other by a flat plate spacer 260 at a constant interval. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of spacers 260 may be provided at intervals in the height direction.
第1液噴出部材200Aは、例えばその基端部240が、例えば第1駆動源280Aによって駆動力が付与される第1往復移動機構270Aに連結されることで、図2の往復方向A、Bに移動される。同様に、第2液噴出部材200Bは、例えばその基端部240が、例えば第2駆動源280Bによって駆動力が付与される第2往復移動機構270Bに連結されることで、図2の往復方向A、Bに移動される。液噴出部材200(200A及び200B)が図2の往復方向A、Bのうちの図3の往動方向Aに移動する時に、第1ガイド体210で堰き止められるメッキ液を、第1ガイド体210と第2ガイド体220とで形成される第1の一対の板材間の第1通路201に沿って案内して、ワークWに向けて噴出させる。液噴出部材200Aが往復方向A、Bのうちの復動方向Bに移動する時に、第1ガイド体210で堰き止められるメッキ液を、第1ガイド体210と第3ガイド体230とで形成される第2の一対の板材間の第2通路202に沿って案内して、ワークWに向けて噴出させる。第2液噴出部材200Bも、第1液噴出部材200Aと同様に、往動方向Aに移動する時に第1通路201を介してメッキ液をワークWに向けて噴出させ、復動方向Bに移動する時に第2通路202を介してメッキ液をワークWに向けて噴出させる。なお、第1通路201及び第2通路202の双方を必ずしも設ける必要はない。液噴出部材200(200A及び200B)の往復方向A、Bの移動のいずれの場合でも、少なくとも一対の板材間の共通通路に処理液を案内するように、第3通路203及び第4通路204が、例えば傾斜または湾曲する等の他のガイド体によって形成されてもよい。
The first liquid ejection member 200A is connected to, for example, the first reciprocating moving mechanism 270A to which a driving force is applied by, for example, the first driving source 280A, so that the base end portion 240 thereof is connected to the reciprocating directions A and B in FIG. Will be moved to. Similarly, the reciprocating direction of FIG. 2 is obtained by connecting the base end portion 240 of the second liquid ejection member 200B to, for example, the second reciprocating moving mechanism 270B to which a driving force is applied by the second driving source 280B. Moved to A and B. When the liquid ejection members 200 (200A and 200B) move in the reciprocating direction A and B of FIG. 2 in the forward movement direction A of FIG. It is guided along the first passage 201 between the first pair of plate members formed by the 210 and the second guide body 220, and is ejected toward the work W. When the liquid ejection member 200A moves in the return direction B of the reciprocating directions A and B, the plating liquid blocked by the first guide body 210 is formed by the first guide body 210 and the third guide body 230. It is guided along the second passage 202 between the second pair of plate members and ejected toward the work W. Similar to the first liquid ejection member 200A, the second liquid ejection member 200B also ejects the plating liquid toward the work W through the first passage 201 when moving in the forward movement direction A, and moves in the return direction B. At that time, the plating solution is ejected toward the work W through the second passage 202. It is not always necessary to provide both the first passage 201 and the second passage 202. In any of the reciprocating directions A and B of the liquid ejection members 200 (200A and 200B), the third passage 203 and the fourth passage 204 guide the processing liquid to a common passage between at least a pair of plate members. , For example, may be formed by other guide bodies such as tilted or curved.
こうして、処理液2がワークWと衝突することで、ワークWの主面WF、WB近傍の処理液を攪拌して処理液の滞留を防止し、しかも、陽極ボックス140、150付近にあるメッキ成分が豊富なフレッシュな処理液2をワークWに供給することができる。それにより、メッキ処理が促進される。また、液噴出部材200(200A及び200B)は、図2の縦方向において、スペーサー260を除いて均一に処理液2をワークWに向けて噴出することができる。スペーサー260は薄板状に形成できるので、ワークWの処理の面内均一性を損なうことはない。
In this way, when the treatment liquid 2 collides with the work W, the treatment liquid in the vicinity of the main surfaces WF and WB of the work W is agitated to prevent the treatment liquid from staying, and the treatment liquid is located near the anode boxes 140 and 150. A fresh treatment liquid 2 rich in plating components can be supplied to the work W. Thereby, the plating process is promoted. Further, the liquid ejection member 200 (200A and 200B) can uniformly eject the treatment liquid 2 toward the work W in the vertical direction of FIG. 2, except for the spacer 260. Since the spacer 260 can be formed in the shape of a thin plate, the in-plane uniformity of the processing of the work W is not impaired.
ここで、第1駆動源280Aと第2駆動源280Bとは非同期で駆動することができる。第1、第2液噴出部材200A、200BがワークWを挟んで正対すると、ワークWの同一領域にてその両面に向けて処理液2が噴出されることになる。ワークWが両面に貫通するスルーホールを有する場合、処理液2がスルーホールを通り抜け難くなる。第1、第2液噴出部材200A、200Bの一往復移動中において第1、第2液噴出部材が正対する位置は、第1、第2液噴出部材を同期して移動させると常に同じになるが、第1、第2液噴出部材を非同期で移動させることで毎回異ならせることができる。それにより、ワークWに形成されるスルーホールの位置に拘わらず、スルーホール内へのメッキを確実に実施することができる。また、第1駆動源280Aと第2駆動源280Bとは、それぞれ速度を異ならせて液噴出部材200A、200Bを移動させても良い。こうすると、ワークWに作用する処理液2の圧力が表裏面WF、WBで異なる。この圧力差を利用して、スルーホールに処理液を通過させ易くすることができる。この場合、第1駆動源280Aと第2駆動源280Bとを同期して駆動しても良いし、第1、第2駆動源280A、280Bを同一駆動源としても良い。
Here, the first drive source 280A and the second drive source 280B can be driven asynchronously. When the first and second liquid ejection members 200A and 200B face each other with the work W interposed therebetween, the treatment liquid 2 is ejected toward both sides in the same region of the work W. When the work W has through holes penetrating on both sides, it becomes difficult for the treatment liquid 2 to pass through the through holes. During one reciprocating movement of the first and second liquid ejection members 200A and 200B, the positions facing the first and second liquid ejection members are always the same when the first and second liquid ejection members are moved synchronously. However, it can be made different each time by moving the first and second liquid ejection members asynchronously. As a result, plating into the through hole can be reliably performed regardless of the position of the through hole formed in the work W. Further, the liquid ejection members 200A and 200B may be moved at different speeds between the first drive source 280A and the second drive source 280B, respectively. Then, the pressure of the treatment liquid 2 acting on the work W differs between the front and back surfaces WF and WB. This pressure difference can be used to facilitate the passage of the treatment liquid through the through holes. In this case, the first drive source 280A and the second drive source 280B may be driven in synchronization, or the first and second drive sources 280A and 280B may be the same drive source.
また、表面処理槽100Aは、ワークWを保持した治具10が上方から降下されて装着されることで、第1槽101と第2槽102とに区画される。ここで、第1、第2液噴出部材200A、200Bを往復移動させると、第2、第3ガイド体220、230で堰き止められて反発する液流が槽内全体を攪拌する攪拌流となる。この際、第1液噴出部材200Aは第1槽101内の処理液を撹拌し、第2液噴出部材200Bは第2槽102内の処理液を撹拌することができ、しかも、一方の槽での撹拌が他方に与える悪影響を排除できる。
Further, the surface treatment tank 100A is divided into a first tank 101 and a second tank 102 by the jig 10 holding the work W being lowered from above and mounted. Here, when the first and second liquid ejection members 200A and 200B are reciprocated, the liquid flow blocked and repelled by the second and third guide bodies 220 and 230 becomes a stirring flow that agitates the entire tank. .. At this time, the first liquid ejection member 200A can agitate the processing liquid in the first tank 101, and the second liquid ejection member 200B can agitate the treatment liquid in the second tank 102, and moreover, in one of the tanks. The adverse effect of stirring on the other side can be eliminated.
また、表面処理槽100Aは、往復方向A、Bで両端に位置する2つの側壁部105、106の外側に、バッファ槽107、108を有することができる。側壁部105に形成された開口105Aは、第1槽101とバッファ槽107とを連通させる。側壁部105に形成された開口105Bは、第2槽102とバッファ槽107とを連通させる。側壁部106に形成された開口106Aは、第1槽101とバッファ槽108とを連通させる。側壁部106に形成された開口106Bは、第2槽102とバッファ槽108とを連通させる。こうすると、液噴出部材200(200A及び200B)によって処理槽100Aの両端の各々に押し寄せられた処理液をバッファ槽107、108に逃がすことができる。こうして、処理槽100Aの両端にて発生する処理液の反射波の影響を低減できる。また、バッファ槽107、108を介して、第1槽101と第2槽102との間での処理液の流通を確保することもできる。
Further, the surface treatment tank 100A can have buffer tanks 107 and 108 outside the two side wall portions 105 and 106 located at both ends in the reciprocating directions A and B. The opening 105A formed in the side wall portion 105 allows the first tank 101 and the buffer tank 107 to communicate with each other. The opening 105B formed in the side wall portion 105 allows the second tank 102 and the buffer tank 107 to communicate with each other. The opening 106A formed in the side wall portion 106 communicates the first tank 101 and the buffer tank 108. The opening 106B formed in the side wall portion 106 communicates the second tank 102 and the buffer tank 108. By doing so, the treatment liquid that has been pushed to each of both ends of the treatment tank 100A by the liquid ejection members 200 (200A and 200B) can be released to the buffer tanks 107 and 108. In this way, the influence of the reflected wave of the processing liquid generated at both ends of the processing tank 100A can be reduced. Further, it is also possible to secure the flow of the treatment liquid between the first tank 101 and the second tank 102 via the buffer tanks 107 and 108.
