Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of coating technology, and more specifically, to a cooling device for a heating chamber of a sputtering coating machine. Background Art
[0002] Sputtering coating technology uses ions to bombard the target surface. The phenomenon of atoms of the target being knocked out is called sputtering. The atoms generated by sputtering are deposited on the surface of the substrate to form a film, which is called sputtering coating. In order to obtain high-quality optical thin films, a certain amount of working gas is filled in the magnetron sputtering device, and the gas is ionized by igniting the target gun. The ions hit the target under the action of the electric field and magnetic field, and the atoms of the target are sputtered and deposited on the substrate to form a film. Accurately control the reaction gas pressure, the distance between the target and the substrate, the sputtering power and other parameters to accurately control the deposition rate to obtain high-quality optical thin film materials.
[0003] If the high temperature during sputtering coating continues, it is easy to cause the circuit system of the heating chamber to be damaged by the high temperature. Therefore, a cooling device needs to be set in the heating chamber. The prior art, such as CN 117305791 B, discloses a constant temperature heating device for a magnetron sputtering coating machine, and discloses a water cooling mechanism in the heating chamber, including a water tank, a fan group, a cooling pipe and a water pump. The water pump pumps cold water in the water tank into the cooling pipe, and dissipates heat to the outer shell through the cooling pipe. The fan group cools down the water inside the box, and the water pump will pump the water in the box into the water tank again after the water inside the box cools down. However, the cooling pipe of this design takes up a large space, and the water pump needs to continuously pump water and the fan group needs to continuously blow air to the water tank. Although the water can be recycled to achieve the cooling effect, the energy consumption is also increased.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a cooling device for the heating chamber of a sputtering coating machine that saves energy and effectively isolates the high temperature of the heating chamber. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a cooling device for the heating chamber of a sputtering coating machine, which effectively isolates the high temperature of the heating chamber shell by setting a partition, thereby preventing the control chamber shell from being damaged by the high temperature. By setting an annular flow channel in the water cooling device and a temperature sensor, the partition temperature can be monitored in real time. When the set temperature is exceeded, an alarm can be sounded, and coolant is introduced to use the cooling device to cool the partition, thereby further enhancing the cooling effect.
