Description

ANODE CORD

The innovation is an anode basket made of non-conductive material to hold Me ^J Tillen in the form of small pieces, e.g. B. for metal deposition in electroplating baths.

In the last few years there has been a growing number of procedures for some the use of anode metal in the form of small pieces enforced, so z. B. for copper plating, nickel plating and Galvanized. Compared to the one-piece anodes, the use of the anode metal in the form of kloinen With significant advantages. These order above all that the anode metal is completely reworked and the anode surface by simply refilling with pieces of metal can be kept constant.

For holding the anode material in the form of small pieces Corresponding Koi'be - so-called anode baskets - are required, the ganr. meet certain conditions): Must. Next to the demand for sufficient stability stands, the task of a good transmission of the Gnlvanisiorst.romes from the As a rule, power and suspension cables attached to the anode metal above the treatment bath. Furthermore, the lierk; toff of the basket must be resistant to the aggressive components of the electroplating bath, and the walls of the anode tubing must in a simple and economical way with Durclibr'i'hei '

let provided so that the dissolved metal ions from the Korbin can enter the work area of the bathroom.

Of the metallic materials that meet the requirements, only titanium has so far proven to be economical proven to be justifiable. Its price and therefore the price c'er The anode baskets made from it are so high, however, that solutions with other materials are being sought over and over again.

These other materials also include various plastics, which, however ^{, cannot take over the conduction of the GaI -} "nizing current. Various types of anode baskets made of plastic have become known in which the current is transmitted to the anode metal by additional metallic conductors, which are either fixed with are connected to the basket or represent a separate component.

These previously known plastic anode baskets are the Also known baskets made of titanium are very similar in shape and dimensions, that is, they have a rectangular cross section ;: By transferring the shape and dimensions of the titanium anode cage The plastic anode basket is a major disadvantage of plastic as opposed to metallic ones Materials, namely its lower mechanical strength

activity. The baskets made of pure material turn out to be either more fragile than the metallic, which is a corresponding Requires careful handling, or they must be dimensioned so large that - together with the necessary .separate current conductor - the advantages over the titanium version To get picked up.

The task of the present innovation is therefore to create an anode basket made of non-conductive material, which eliminates the disadvantages of the known baskets.

The object is achieved according to the innovation by an anode basket made of non-conductive material, which is characterized by this is that the Korbraantel consists of a tubular element consists, along the wall of which a metallic bracket runs in the axial direction, which acts as a suspension device at the upper end is formed and connected to the bottom of the basket at the lower end.

Advantageous developments of the innovation are that

a) the jacket has a circular or polygonal cross-section owns,

b) the basket jacket is provided with openings,

c) the basket shell made of one in the manufacture with breakthrough

the tube provided is made of plastic,

d) the metallic bracket made of copper or copper alloy with a titanium coating.

The anode basket according to the innovation with a plastic jacket differs in its shape significantly from the previously known designs. The plastic jacket consists of a commercially available one RoIt (l) with preferably circular or polygonal Cross-section that may have already been stranded with openings (4) during manufacture. The metallic one The suspension bracket (2) also serves to transmit power. It runs over the entire length of the pipe and is expediently in contact with the pipe wall. The material of the bracket isi z. B. titanium. To improve the electrical conductivity, it can also be made of copper or a copper alloy and be coated with titanium. At the lower end, the bracket is connected to the basket base (3) and thus takes it out of the Vertical load resulting from the filling of the basket.

Due to the round cross-sectional shape of the basket there is a bulging, as occurs with anode baskets with a rectangular cross-section, impossible. By lowering the suspension bracket The jacket is not stressed in the direction of its longitudinal axis up to the bottom of the basket.

The dimension of the basket in the radial direction is! small compared to the rectangular Aiiodenkörben. The position ^{1 of} the word lot of the filling material can therefore deviate only slightly from the theoretical value. The anode basket should therefore be handled vertically in the bathroom, even if it is only equipped with a hanging bracket.

Another advantage of the round anode basket is that by dividing the Aiiodenmetalis into a larger number of baskets, the individual weight is smaller and therefore easier to use.

The drawing shows an example of the innovation \. r illustrative *

The bracket (2) consists of Rumlkupfer (5) of 8 mm diameter with a coating of Ti X anbl cc Ii (6), as shown in Figure k The cover is attached to the retaining flap (8) (Figure 3) which connects the jacket (1) to the bracket (2) through the perforation (k) . At the lower end, the bracket (2) is wrapped around.
