The invention relates to the technical field of thin film and coating preparation, in particular to a multi-structure coupling magnetic field adaptability type rotating arc ion plating device and solves the problems that in prior art, large particles exist, target material etching and coating uniformity are poor, the deposition efficiency is low, and the like. According to the rotating arc ion plating device, a special multi-function multi-structure adaptability type ion plating gun is matched with a structurally optimized water-cooling flange sleeve to serve as an entire arc source structure, an axial auxiliary magnetic field device is arranged in the rear of a target material base of the ion plating gun, a secondary rotating transverse magnetic field generator and a focusing guide magnetic field device are arranged on the outer side of the flange sleeve, a poly-type composite magnetic field with a secondary rotating transverse magnetic field as a master and other coupled magnetic fields is formed under the action of coupling of three magnetic field devices, requirements of rotating magnetic field states nearby a target surface can be met, the arc spot electro-discharge mode is improved, the power density is reduced, large particle emission is reduced, the magnetic field distribution of plasma conveying space can be guaranteed, and plasma conveying efficiency and uniformity are improved.
