[0002] The vacuum coating machine is a device that coats the surface of the wafer under vacuum, thereby improving the product performance of the wafer. At present, there are still some problems in the use of vacuum coating machines on the market, such as: The patent name disclosed in the prior art with application number "CN201310209692.6" is "An OLED coating machine with a double rotating mechanism", which discloses that the flange and the central axis are connected to the driving power system of the rotating mechanism arranged in the top of the vacuum chamber to obtain power rotation, thereby driving three small rotating pot-shaped brackets to rotate synchronously, that is, the synchronous "revolution" of the workpiece bracket; each of the three support arms is also provided with a transmission shaft of the same design, and bevel gears and worm gears are respectively provided at both ends of the shaft, and the bevel gears and the flange are connected. The driving gear on the central axis meshes to obtain rotational power, so that the three small rotating pot-shaped brackets "rotate" while "revolving"; by changing the direction of the thread on the worm and the worm wheel, the pot-shaped bracket can be rotated counterclockwise or clockwise. The other set is composed of a rotating cylindrical bracket arranged along the inner circumference of the lower middle part of the vacuum chamber, and is characterized in that the support rods extending from the ends of the three support arms are firmly connected to the rotating cylindrical bracket with screws and nuts, that is, the rotating cylindrical bracket is suspended on the entire support frame composed of the support arms, and rotates synchronously with the three small rotating pot-shaped brackets.

[0003] The patent name disclosed in the prior art with application number "CN201910747796.X" is "A round pot clamp and a coating device". It discloses that the round pot clamp body can rotate around the round pot clamp bearing while revolving on the round pot clamp track to form a planetary rotation motion. The revolution direction is exactly opposite to the rotation direction. Through the revolution and rotation of the round pot clamp body and the rotation of the wafer clamp, the uniformity of wafer coating can be greatly improved. The round pot clamp body can drive the four wafer clamps to rotate around the wafer clamp bearing in the opposite direction of the rotation direction of the round pot clamp body through the planetary rotation mechanism. The planetary rotation mechanism includes a center gear and a driven gear. The four driven gears are in meshing transmission contact with the center gear to realize the rotation of the center gear and drive the driven gears to rotate.

[0004] When the vacuum coating machine in the above-mentioned prior art is in use, the meshing transmission contact between the center gear and the driven gear in the planetary rotating mechanism is used to make the center gear drive the driven gear to rotate. However, if used for a long time, the tooth surface of the center gear will contact with the tooth surface of the driven gear and generate friction. In the process of friction, metal dust particles will be generated. These metal dust particles will fall into the coating chamber, which will affect the cleanliness of the coating chamber, and thus affect the purity of the coating and the performance of the product.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the vacuum coating machine capable of improving the purity of the coating can improve the cleanliness of the coating area through the contactless transmission component, thereby further improving the purity of the coating and product performance; the airflow generated by the pressure difference can be reduced through the setting of the hollow interlayer groove, and tiny dust particles can be prevented from being raised to affect the purity and adhesion of the film, thereby further improving the cleanliness of the coating area and further improving the purity of the coating. The specific contents are as follows: The gear teeth on the outside of the large gear in the contactless transmission assembly have the same magnetic poles, and the gear teeth on the outside of the small gear have the same magnetic poles. The magnetism of the gear teeth on the outside of the large gear is the same as that of the gear teeth on the outside of the small gear. Therefore, through the principle of repulsion of magnetic poles of the same name, the large gear and the small gear can rotate without contact, thereby avoiding direct contact between the tooth surfaces of the gear teeth on the outside of the large gear and the gear teeth on the outside of the small gear to cause wear, thereby avoiding the generation of metal dust particles and the falling of particles during the wear process, thereby improving the cleanliness of the coating area, thereby further improving the purity of the coating and product performance; The magnetic field of the large gear and the small gear only affects the handle at the maximum, and will not reach the plating pot body, so it will not affect the coating work; By setting up the hollow interlayer groove, the second cryopump can be connected to the evaporation source area, so that when the second gate valve between the upper coating area and the evaporation source area is opened, the airflow generated by the pressure difference can be reduced to prevent tiny dust particles from being raised and affecting the purity and adhesion of the film, thereby further improving the cleanliness of the coating area, which not only improves the purity of the coating, but also improves the quality of the coating.

[0019] (3) The evaporation source carrier can be rotated to the outside of the carrier frame by the rotary lifting control mechanism, so it is convenient to add materials, repair and maintain the crucible evaporation source. The second cryogenic pump and the third gate valve are installed in coordination with each other, and there is no need to directly connect the second cryogenic pump to the evaporation source carrier.

[0025] A bearing seat 161 is installed on the outer side of one end of the second support arm 16 close to the main mounting rod 15, and the main mounting rod 15 is installed through the bearing seat 161. A mounting carrier 19 is arranged below the bearing seat 161. The contactless transmission component includes a small gear 151 installed on the outer side above the main mounting rod 15. The contactless transmission component also includes a large gear 28 installed on the inner wall above the coating chamber 2. Three groups of small gears 151 are arranged on the outer side of the large gear 28 in a non-contact manner. The outer sides of the large gear 28 and the outer sides of the small gear 151 are both installed with gear teeth by screws. The gear teeth on the outer side of the large gear 28 and the gear teeth on the outer side of the small gear 151 are both made of magnet material, and the gear teeth on the outer side of the large gear 28 and the gear teeth on the outer side of the small gear 151 have the same magnetic poles. The small gear 151 revolves and rotates on the outer side of the large gear 28 in a non-contact manner. The center of the plating pot body 17 coincides with the position of the crucible evaporation source 11, the mounting carrier 19 is arranged in a "U" shape, and a placement groove 194 is provided inside the bottom surface of the mounting carrier 19, the placement groove 194 is matched with the upper end of the plating pot mounting rod 20, and the outer side surface of the mounting carrier 19 is symmetrically provided with through holes 191, and a handle 18 is installed on the plating pot body 17, and the clamping assembly includes a ejector pin 192 which is installed through the through hole 191, and a compression spring 195 is nested and connected to the outer side of the ejector pin 192, the upper end of the plating pot mounting rod 20 is arranged in a rectangular shape, and the two side surfaces of the upper end of the plating pot mounting rod 20 are arranged in an inclined shape, and the inner ends of the ejector pin 192 are fitted on the two side surfaces of the upper end of the plating pot mounting rod 20, and the lowest point of the inclined surface of the upper end of the plating pot mounting rod 20 is lower than the lowest point of the ejector pin 192; the outer end of the ejector pin 192 is connected to the lever 193.

[0026] Before the entire vacuum coating machine is used, the first gate valve 4 at the corresponding position is opened, and the first cryogenic pump 5 at the corresponding position is started. At this time, the first cryogenic pump 5 can effectively extract the steam and air in the coating chamber 2, so as to ensure the vacuum cleanliness and vacuum degree in the coating chamber 2. At the same time, through the coordinated use of two groups of first gate valves 4 and the first cryogenic pump 5, the sub-area control can be carried out, thereby reducing the time of each vacuuming, which can greatly improve the use efficiency of the entire vacuum coating machine. At the same time, during the vacuuming process, since the coating chamber 2 is set in an inverted cone shape, the space between the coating chamber 2 and the coating pot body 17 can be reduced, thereby reducing the non- By using the space within the evaporation range, the vacuuming time can be further shortened, thereby further improving the utilization efficiency of the vacuum coating machine. Then, the second gate valve 7 and the third gate valve 13 are opened, and the second cryogenic pump 26 is started at this time, so that the second cryogenic pump 26 is connected to the evaporation source area through the third gate valve 13 and the hollow interlayer groove 71, so that the second cryogenic pump 26 can well control the pressure difference between the coating area and the evaporation source area in the coating chamber 2, and can reduce the airflow generated by the pressure difference, thereby avoiding tiny dust particles from being lifted up and affecting the purity and adhesion of the film, thereby improving the cleanliness of the coating area, which not only improves the purity of the coating, but also improves the quality of the coating.

[0027] Then, the evaporation source baffle 12 is opened, and the crucible evaporation source 11 starts the coating operation. This part is the prior art and will not be introduced in detail here. At the same time, the motor at the upper end of the rotating drive rod 14 is started, and the motor drives the rotating drive rod 14 to rotate. Then, the rotating drive rod 14 drives the three sets of main mounting rods 15 to revolve through the second support arm 16 and the bearing seat 161. At this time, the main mounting rod 15 drives the mounting carrier 19 and the plating pot mounting rod 20 to revolve together, and then the plating pot mounting rod 20 drives the plating pot body 17 to revolve. When the main mounting rod 15 revolves, it will drive the small gear 151 installed on the top to revolve together. At this time, the small gear 15 1 revolves around the outside of the large gear 28. At this time, since the large gear 28 is fixed and immovable, and the gear teeth on the outside of the large gear 28 and the gear teeth on the outside of the small gear 151 have the same magnetic poles, a repulsive force will be generated between the large gear 28 and the small gear 151, so that the gear teeth on the outside of the small gear 151 and the gear teeth on the outside of the large gear 28 are concave-convex matched and do not contact each other, and then the small gear 151 revolves and rotates around the outside of the large gear 28 without contact, thereby avoiding direct contact between the gear teeth on the outside of the small gear 151 and the gear teeth on the outside of the large gear 28 to produce greater wear, so that no metal dust will be generated. The particles and the particles fall, thereby further improving the cleanliness of the coating area, thereby further improving the purity of the coating and the product performance. (A magnetic field will be generated between the large gear 28 and the small gear 151 with the same magnetic pole. During the design, the suction range of the magnetic field between the large gear 28 and the small gear 151 can be controlled by controlling the shape and size of the large gear 28 and the small gear 151, or by designing the appropriate distance between the large gear 28 and the small gear 151 and the plating pot body 17, so that the maximum suction range of the magnetic field between the large gear 28 and the small gear 151 is only to the position of the handle 18, and will not reach the plating pot itself. The position of the body 17 will not affect the coating work of the magnetic wafers in the coating pot body 17, so it is convenient for the vacuum coating machine to perform the coating work well. The influence range of this part of the magnetic field control is the existing technology and will not be introduced in detail here). Then, when the pinion 151 rotates, it will drive the main mounting rod 15 installed inside to rotate together, so that the main mounting rod 15 can rotate stably in the bearing seat 161, so that the main mounting rod 15 can rotate while revolving, so that the main mounting rod 15 drives the coating pot body 17 to revolve and rotate at the same time, so as to evenly coat the wafers in the coating pot body 17.

[0028] When the coating is completed, when it is necessary to disassemble a plating pot body 17 near the opening and closing door 3, the opening and closing door 3 in the door frame installed on the right side of the coating chamber 2 is manually opened first, and then the staff puts his hand into the coating chamber 2 (later, the three groups of plating pot bodies 17 are driven to rotate by rotating the driving rod 14, so that the three groups of plating pot bodies 17 can be rotated to the position close to the opening and closing door 3 in turn, which is convenient for disassembling the three groups of plating pot bodies 17 in turn), and the two levers 193 in the clamping assembly can be pulled outwards with both hands at the same time. At this time, the lever 193 drives the ejector pin 192 to be pulled outwards. At this time, the inner ends of the two ejector pins 192 enter the through hole 191 in the mounting carrier 19, and at the same time, the compression spring 195 is charged, and then The inner end of the rear ejector pin 192 is separated from the inclined surface of the upper surface of the plating pot mounting rod 20, and then another staff member holds the handle 18 and moves it upward and then outward, so that the plating pot body 17 and the plating pot mounting rod 20 move upward together first. At this time, the top of the plating pot mounting rod 20 is separated from the placement groove 194, and then the plating pot mounting rod 20 moves outward again and slides out from the opening on the side of the mounting carrier 19, so that the mounting carrier 19 is separated from the plating pot mounting rod 20, so that it is convenient to disassemble the plating pot body 17, and then the plating pot body 17 can be taken out from the opening on the right side of the coating chamber 2, so as to facilitate the later disassembly of the wafer in the plating pot body 17. When the plating pot body 17 needs to be installed, as shown above, the reverse operation can be performed.
