The guide mechanism installed on the running path of the transmission belt 35 prevents the synchronous belt from being deflected due to excessive horizontality of the master and driven wheels and wear in the later operation. The power connection mounting bracket includes a horizontal mounting plate 42 arranged horizontally and a vertical mounting plate 41 arranged vertically. The vertical mounting plate 41 is located in the transmission belt 35 and is suspended on the chamber bottom plate 10.

The guide sub-unit includes an upper guide roller 51 and a lower guide roller 52 arranged correspondingly at the upper and lower ends of the upper mounting shaft 53 and the lower mounting shaft 54, respectively. The upper guide roller 51 and the lower guide roller 52 sandwich and guide the belt body. The upper mounting shaft 53 and the lower mounting shaft 54 ​​are fixedly mounted on the guide bracket, and the guide bracket is composed of a vertically arranged A1 connector 55 and a horizontally arranged A2 connector 56.

The motor bracket 31 is fixed to the A3 mounting plate by bolts. The B transmission wheel 32 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 30 by a key. If the load of the rotating frame body 11 is heavy, the belt size needs to be set larger, resulting in the B transmission wheel 32 being larger than the output shaft of the driving motor 30 , so a clamping member 33 is installed on the upper end of the B transmission wheel 32 for tightening.

[0029] The above scheme moves the guiding and sealing structure of the magnetic fluid device from the vacuum end to the atmospheric end, which can solve the problem of easy wear of the internal bearings of the magnetic fluid device under vacuum conditions; the transmission structure is replaced from a traditional integrated structure to a combined structure, which can not only directly transmit the bias high-voltage current of the coating equipment to the inside of the vacuum chamber through the magnetic fluid device, but also enable the drive motor 30 to drive the magnetic fluid to rotate through the isolation of the insulating parts; adding a guiding structure can adjust the problem of synchronous belt deflection caused by the unevenness of the chamber bottom plate 10, the two transmission wheels not being in the same horizontal plane due to the processing and assembly errors of the assembly, and the later operation wear; thereby improving the service life and reliability of the coating equipment.

It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
