Abstract

A coating mask for bearing and covering a portion of a to-be-plated component includes at least one bearing unit. Each bearing unit includes a first bearing portion, a second bearing portion, and at least two ribbed plates. An annular groove is defined between the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion. The at least two ribbed plates are formed in the annular groove. Each of the at least two ribbed plates includes a first ribbed portion and a second ribbed portion connected to the first ribbed portion. The first ribbed portion is connected to the second bearing portion; the second ribbed portion is connected to the first bearing portion. An included angle θ1 is defined by the first ribbed portion and the second ribbed portion, and θ1 is an obtuse angle. The disclosure also relates to a coating device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A coating mask for bearing and covering a portion of a to-be-plated component, the coating mask comprising:
at least one bearing unit, wherein each of the at least one bearing unit comprises:
a first bearing portion;
a second bearing portion; and
at least two ribbed plates; an annular groove is defined between the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion; the at least two ribbed plates are formed in the annular groove; each of the at least two ribbed plates comprises a first ribbed portion and a second ribbed portion connected to the first ribbed portion; the first ribbed portion is connected to the second bearing portion; the second ribbed portion is connected to the first bearing portion; and an included angle θ 1 is defined by the first ribbed portion and the second ribbed portion, and the included angle θ 1 is an obtuse angle.

2. The coating mask of claim 1 , wherein W 1 is a thickness of each of the at least two ribbed plates, 0.05<W 1 ≤0.2.

3. The coating mask of claim 2 , wherein 90°≤θ 1 ≤150°.

4. The coating mask of claim 2 , wherein a plurality of through holes is defined in the at least two ribbed plates; and a portion of the to-be-plated component covered by the at least two ribbed plates is exposed from the plurality of through holes.

5. The coating mask of claim 4 , wherein D is a diameter of each of the plurality of through holes, 0.5W 1 ≤D≤0.8W 1 .

6. The coating mask of claim 1 , further comprising a bearing plate, wherein the at least one bearing unit is defined in the bearing plate in an array.

7. The coating mask of claim 6 , wherein the to-be-plated component comprises a convex portion and an edge portion surrounding and connected to the convex portion, the convex portion faces the first bearing portion, the edge portion is formed on the second bearing portion, a coating area is defined on the edge portion, the coating area faces the annular groove, and a coating film is formed on the coating area.

8. The coating mask of claim 7 , wherein the first bearing portion further comprises a first receiving groove, and the convex portion is received in the first receiving groove.

9. The coating mask of claim 1 , further comprising a cover plate formed on the bearing plate, at least one second receiving groove is defined in the cover plate, and a portion of the to-be-plated component is received in the second receiving groove.
