[0002] In related technologies, when performing a coating process on a sample, the sample is usually placed in a vacuum environment and a working gas is flowed to the sample so that a thin film is deposited on the surface of the sample.

[0003] Prior art (Chinese Invention Patent, Authorization Announcement No.: CN120366747B) discloses a thin film deposition apparatus, including a heating mechanism, a guide ring, an insulating ring, a lifting mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a controller. The heating mechanism includes a heating tray for supporting and heating the substrate. The lifting mechanism drives the heating tray and guide ring to rise for the first thin film deposition. The rotating mechanism drives the heating tray to rotate, causing the guide ring to rest on the insulating ring. The lifting mechanism drives the heating tray to descend, separating the heating tray and guide ring. The rotating mechanism drives the heating tray to rotate. The lifting mechanism drives the heating tray to rise for the second thin film deposition. The relative position of the substrate and the heating tray differs during the second deposition from that during the first. By using only one stage of lifting and rotating mechanisms, the apparatus achieves the rotation of the heating tray and the relative rotation of the substrate and the heating tray, improving the uniformity of the thin film deposition and simplifying the structure.

[0004] In this prior art, when multiple samples are coated, they tend to stick together, which reduces the coating effect. Furthermore, the activity of the working gas flowing towards the samples is relatively uniform, thus affecting the coating effect. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The thin film deposition apparatus of the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] 1. By installing the coil assembly inside the outer casing and winding it around the outside of the quartz tube, an inductive coupling region is formed when the coil assembly is energized. This allows the working gas to be ionized within this region when it flows into the quartz tube, creating plasma. This plasma generates various active species within the working gas, facilitating reactions between these species or between the species and monomers. This process promotes the subsequent deposition of a polymer film on the sample microspheres, improving the coating effect. 2. By mounting a tapping mechanism on the worktable, passing through the vacuum chamber, and fitting it against the sample stage mechanism, the tapping mechanism strikes the sample stage mechanism, causing multiple sample microspheres placed within it to vibrate. This prevents the microspheres from sticking together, further improving the coating effect.

[0019] 2. By setting multiple elongated first mounting holes within a first mounting frame, the camera assembly is mounted on these holes and positioned opposite a second observation window. This allows the first mounting frame to support the camera assembly and enables it to move within the first mounting holes, adjusting the relative position between the camera assembly and the second observation window. The camera assembly then captures images of the sample microspheres' coating process through the second observation window, monitoring the coating status and determining if the microspheres are in a normal state during the coating process. Furthermore, this allows for timely intervention when microspheres adhere, ensuring the optimal coating effect.

[0020] 3. By connecting the lead screw to the first motor body, the lifting plate is positioned within the second mounting bracket, and the lead screw passes through the threaded hole of the lifting plate to achieve a threaded connection between the lead screw and the lifting plate. This allows the first motor body to drive the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting plate to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting plate. By installing support columns on the lifting plate, the support columns pass sequentially through the bottom of the worktable and the vacuum tank, and are connected to the sample stage mechanism. This allows the lifting plate to move up and down, which in turn drives the sample stage mechanism to move up and down via the support columns, thereby adjusting the height of the sample stage mechanism.

[0021] 4. By mounting a blocking plate on the lifting plate and positioning it opposite a proximity switch, the lifting plate moves the blocking plate up and down, thus blocking the proximity switch and causing it to trigger the first motor to stop. This controls the distance the lifting plate moves up and down. By mounting a steel ruler on the other side of the second mounting bracket and mounting a pointer on the lifting plate, positioning the pointer opposite the steel ruler, the lifting plate and pointer move up and down synchronously. This allows the height of the lifting plate to be measured using the steel ruler, enabling precise control of the sample stage mechanism's height.

[0022] 5. By mounting the support frame assembly on the mounting plate, installing the second motor body inside the support frame assembly, and connecting the crucible body to the second motor body, the support frame assembly supports the second motor body, thereby enabling the second motor body to drive the crucible body to rotate. This allows the crucible body to drive multiple sample microspheres to rotate when multiple sample microspheres are placed inside the crucible body, thus preventing the sample microspheres from sticking together and improving the coating effect on the sample microspheres.

[0023] 6. By positioning the positioning protrusion with two adjacent positioning blocks and placing the positioning protrusion on the support plate, the support frame body supports the motor plate and the second motor body through the support plate. This allows the positioning protrusion to be placed between two different positioning blocks to adjust the relative position of the crucible body and the quartz tube, thereby improving the applicability of the product.

[0024] 7. By mounting the third mounting bracket on the worktable and installing the electromagnet inside the third mounting bracket, the third mounting bracket supports the electromagnet, allowing the iron core to reciprocate within the electromagnet when it is energized. By connecting one end of the striking rod to the iron core and passing the other end of the striking rod through the side wall of the vacuum chamber, with the other end of the striking rod facing the striking plate, the iron core drives the striking rod to reciprocate within the vacuum chamber as the iron core reciprocates within the electromagnet. This allows the striking rod to strike the striking plate, preventing multiple sample microspheres from sticking together and thus improving the coating effect on the sample microspheres.

[0025] 8. First, start the vacuum pump to extract the air from the vacuum chamber and bring it to the predetermined vacuum level. Then, start the electric gate valve to connect the molecular pump to the gas delivery pipe. Next, start the molecular pump to extract the air from the vacuum chamber and bring it to the ultimate vacuum level. This allows the sample microspheres to be coated in a high vacuum environment, thus improving the user experience of the product.

[0026] 9. By installing multiple mounting columns inside the vacuum tank and surrounding the outside of the gas delivery pipe, and simultaneously connecting a baffle to the multiple mounting columns and positioning the baffle above the gas delivery pipe, the multiple mounting columns support the baffle, thereby shielding the gas delivery pipe from debris falling into the gas delivery pipe and thus preventing debris from entering the molecular pump and causing damage to the molecular pump.

[0027] 10. By connecting one end of the gas pipeline to the output of three flow controllers simultaneously, and connecting the other end of the gas pipeline to the top of the quartz tube, the three flow controllers can control the flow rate of gas from the three gas sources into the gas pipeline, thereby improving the accuracy of the working gas flow control for sample microsphere coating and thus improving the coating effect on the sample microspheres.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The following are specific implementation cases and appendices. Figures 1 to 12 The present invention will be further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0043] A thin film deposition apparatus, such as Figures 1 to 12As shown, the thin film deposition apparatus includes: a worktable 10, a vacuum chamber 11, a vacuum cover 12, a quartz tube 13, an outer casing 14, a coil assembly 15, a gas supply mechanism 16, a gas extraction mechanism 17, a sample stage mechanism 18, a tapping mechanism 19, and a lifting mechanism 20; the vacuum chamber 11 is a hollow cavity with an opening at the top, and the vacuum chamber 11 is mounted on the worktable 10; the vacuum cover 12 is fastened to the top of the vacuum chamber 11; the quartz tube 13 is mounted on the top of the vacuum cover 12, and the quartz tube 13 is connected to the vacuum chamber 11; the outer casing 14 is mounted on the top of the vacuum cover 12, and at least part of the quartz tube 13 is located inside the outer casing 14; the coil assembly 15 is mounted on... The outer casing 14 houses the coil assembly 15, which is wound around the outside of the quartz tube 13. A gas supply mechanism 16 is mounted on the worktable 10 and connected to the top of the quartz tube 13. A vacuum extraction mechanism 17 is mounted on the worktable 10 and connected to the vacuum tank 11. A sample stage mechanism 18 is located inside the vacuum tank 11 and below the quartz tube 13. A striking mechanism 19 is mounted on the worktable 10, passes through the vacuum tank 11, and is in contact with the sample stage mechanism 18. A lifting mechanism 20 is mounted inside the worktable 10 and connected to the sample stage mechanism 18.

[0044] By mounting the vacuum container 11 on the workbench 10 and fastening the vacuum cover 12 to the top of the vacuum container 11, the workbench 10 supports the vacuum container 11, thereby sealing the vacuum container 11 with the vacuum cover 12. By mounting the quartz tube 13 on the top of the vacuum cover 12 and connecting the quartz tube 13 to the vacuum container 11, the vacuum cover 12 supports the quartz tube 13, thereby connecting the quartz tube 13 to the interior of the vacuum container 11. By mounting the outer cover 14 on the top of the vacuum cover 12 and placing at least a portion of the quartz tube 13 within the outer cover 14, the outer cover 14 protects the quartz tube 13. By installing the coil assembly 15 inside the outer casing 14 and winding the coil assembly 15 around the outside of the quartz tube 13, the outer casing 14 supports the coil assembly 15. When the coil assembly 15 is energized, it can form an inductive coupling region. This allows the working gas to be ionized within the inductive coupling region when it flows into the quartz tube 13, forming plasma. This generates various active species in the working gas, and these active species react with each other or with monomers, facilitating the subsequent deposition of a polymer film on the surface of the sample microspheres. By installing the gas supply mechanism 16 on the workbench 10 and connecting the gas supply mechanism 16 to the top of the quartz tube 13, the gas supply mechanism 16 injects working gas into the quartz tube 13, thereby enabling the working gas to be ionized in the inductive coupling area formed by the quartz tube 13 and the coil assembly 15 being energized; by installing the air extraction mechanism 17 inside the workbench 10 and connecting the air extraction mechanism 17 to the vacuum tank 11, the air extraction mechanism 17 can extract the air from the vacuum tank 11, thereby creating a vacuum state inside the vacuum tank 11. By placing the sample stage mechanism 18 inside the vacuum tank 11 and below the quartz tube 13, the multiple sample microspheres contained in the sample stage mechanism 18 are placed in a vacuum environment during coating, thereby improving the uniformity of subsequent coating of the sample microspheres. This allows the ionized working gas to flow to the sample stage mechanism 18, thus enabling the coating of the multiple sample microspheres contained in the sample stage mechanism 18. By mounting the tapping mechanism 19 on the worktable 10, passing through the vacuum tank 11, and ensuring that the tapping mechanism 19 is in contact with the sample stage mechanism 18, the following steps are achieved: The tapping mechanism 19 can tap the sample stage mechanism 18, thereby causing the multiple sample microspheres contained in the sample stage mechanism 18 to vibrate, so as to avoid the sample microspheres from sticking together and thus improve the coating effect on the sample microspheres. By installing the lifting mechanism 20 in the worktable 10 and connecting the lifting mechanism 20 to the sample stage mechanism 18, the lifting mechanism 20 can drive the sample stage mechanism 18 to move in the vacuum tank 11, thereby adjusting the distance between the sample microspheres and the quartz tube 13 in the sample stage mechanism 18, and thus adjusting the coating effect on the sample microspheres, so as to improve the user experience of the product.

[0045] In practical use, multiple sample microspheres are first placed inside the sample stage mechanism 18. Then, the lifting mechanism 20 is activated, causing the sample stage mechanism 18 to move up and down within the vacuum chamber 11, thereby adjusting the distance between the sample microspheres and the quartz tube 13. Next, the evacuation mechanism 17 is activated, causing it to extract the air from the vacuum chamber 11, thus creating a vacuum. Then, the coil assembly 15 is energized, causing the area surrounding the coil assembly 15 to form an inductive coupling region. Finally, the gas supply mechanism 16 is activated, causing it to supply gas to the sample stage mechanism 18. Working gas is injected into the quartz tube 13 to ionize the working gas in the inductive coupling region, thereby generating various active species. The ionized working gas then flows to the sample stage mechanism 18 to coat multiple sample microspheres within the sample stage mechanism 18, allowing the working gas to deposit on the surface of the sample microspheres to form a polymer film. Simultaneously, the tapping mechanism 19 is activated to tap the sample stage mechanism 18, causing the multiple sample microspheres to vibrate, thus preventing adhesion between the sample microspheres and improving the coating effect of the sample microspheres.

[0046] With the above structure, by installing the coil assembly 15 inside the outer casing 14 and winding the coil assembly 15 around the outside of the quartz tube 13, the coil assembly 15 can form an inductive coupling region when energized. This allows the working gas to be ionized within the inductive coupling region when it flows into the quartz tube 13, forming plasma. This generates various active species in the working gas, enabling reactions between these species or between the active species and monomers, facilitating the subsequent deposition of a polymer film on the sample microsphere surface and improving the coating effect. By installing the tapping mechanism 19 on the worktable 10, passing through the vacuum tank 11, and fitting it against the sample stage mechanism 18, the tapping mechanism 19 taps the sample stage mechanism 18, causing multiple sample microspheres placed within the sample stage mechanism 18 to vibrate. This prevents the sample microspheres from sticking together, thereby improving the coating effect on the sample microspheres.

[0047] Specifically, the RF power supply is mounted on the workbench 10 and is electrically connected to the coil assembly 15.

[0048] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the thin film deposition apparatus further includes: a first observation window 22, a second observation window 23, a first mounting bracket 24, a first mounting hole 25, a camera assembly 26, a third observation window 27, and a cold light source 28; the first observation window 22 is mounted on the vacuum cover 12; the second observation window 23 is mounted on the vacuum cover 12 and is located on one side of the first observation window 22; the first mounting bracket 24 is mounted on the second observation window 23; the first mounting hole 25 is elongated, and at least two first mounting holes 25 are disposed within the first mounting bracket 24; the camera assembly 26 is mounted on at least two first mounting holes 25 and is opposite to the second observation window 23; the third observation window 27 is mounted on the vacuum cover 12; and the cold light source 28 is mounted within the third observation window 27.

[0049] By installing the first observation window 22 on the vacuum cover 12, the staff can observe the inside of the vacuum tank 11 through the first observation window 22, so as to observe the coating effect of the sample microspheres. By installing the second observation window 23 on the vacuum cover 12 and the first mounting bracket 24 on the second observation window 23, the vacuum cover 12 supports the second observation window 23, thereby enabling the second observation window 23 to support the first mounting bracket 24. By setting multiple elongated first mounting holes 25 within a first mounting bracket 24, a camera assembly 26 is mounted on these holes, with the camera assembly 26 facing a second observation window 23. This allows the first mounting bracket 24 to support the camera assembly 26 and enables it to move within the first mounting holes 25, adjusting its relative position to the second observation window 23. This allows the camera assembly 26 to photograph the coating process of the sample microspheres through the second observation window 23, monitoring the coating status and determining if the microspheres are in a normal state during the coating process. Furthermore, if microspheres adhere, timely intervention is possible to ensure effective coating. A third observation window 27 is mounted on the vacuum cover 12, and a cold light source 28 is installed within the third observation window 27. This allows the cold light source 28 to illuminate the interior of the vacuum chamber 11, improving the imaging effect of the camera assembly 26 on the sample microsphere coating process.

[0050] Specifically, camera assembly 26 employs CCD video monitoring technology.

[0052] By mounting the second mounting machine on top of the workbench 10, mounting the first motor frame 202 on the bottom of the second mounting frame 201, and mounting the first motor body 203 on the first motor frame 202, the workbench 10 supports the second mounting frame 201, thereby enabling the second mounting frame 201 to support the first motor body 203 through the first motor frame 202, thus improving the stability of the first motor body 203; by connecting the lead screw 204 to the first motor body 203, the lifting plate 205 is located inside the second mounting frame 201, and the lead screw 204 passes through the thread of the lifting plate 205. A hole is provided to enable the lead screw 204 to be threadedly connected to the lifting plate 205, so that when the first motor body 203 drives the lead screw 204 to rotate, the lead screw 204 drives the lifting plate 205 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting plate 205; by installing the support column 206 on the lifting plate 205, the support column 206 passes through the bottom of the worktable 10 and the vacuum tank 11 in sequence, and the support column 206 is connected to the sample stage mechanism 18, so that when the lifting plate 205 moves up and down, the lifting plate 205 drives the sample stage mechanism 18 to move up and down through the support column 206, thereby adjusting the height of the sample stage mechanism 18. By connecting one end of the two optical rods 207 to the second mounting bracket 201 and the other end of the two optical rods 207 to the worktable 10, and allowing the two optical rods 207 to pass through the lifting plate 205, the second mounting bracket 201 and the worktable 10 cooperate to support the two optical rods 207, thereby enabling the lifting plate 205 to move up and down along the two optical rods 207, thus improving the stability of the up and down movement of the lifting plate 205; by placing the lead screw 204 inside the support column 206, the lead screw 204 can rotate inside the support column 206, thereby making the lead screw 204 hidden inside the support column 206, thus making the product structure more compact.

[0053] Specifically, a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) guide sleeve is installed inside the vacuum tank 11 and is wrapped around the outside of the support column 206 so that the PTFE guide sleeve slides and seals the support column 206, thereby ensuring the sealing between the support column 206 and the vacuum tank 11 when the support column 206 moves up and down.

[0054] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9As shown, the lifting mechanism 20 further includes: a switch mounting bracket 208, a second mounting hole 209, a proximity switch, a shielding plate 211, a steel ruler 212, and a pointer 213; the switch mounting bracket 208 is mounted on one side of the second mounting bracket 201; the second mounting hole 209 is elongated and is located inside the switch mounting bracket 208; two proximity switches are mounted inside the second mounting hole 209, with a gap between them, and both proximity switches are electrically connected to the first motor body 203; the shielding plate 211 is L-shaped and is mounted on the lifting plate 205, and is opposite to one of the proximity switches; the steel ruler 212 is mounted on the other side of the second mounting bracket 201; the pointer 213 is mounted on the lifting plate 205, and is opposite to the steel ruler 212; wherein, the pointer 213 and the shielding plate 211 are at the same height.

[0055] By mounting the switch mounting bracket 208 on one side of the second mounting bracket 201, setting the elongated second mounting hole 209 inside the switch mounting bracket 208, and mounting two proximity switches inside the second mounting hole 209, the second mounting bracket 201 supports the two proximity switches, allowing the proximity switches to move within the second mounting hole 209 to adjust the distance between the two proximity switches. By mounting the blocking plate 211 on the lifting plate 205 and positioning the blocking plate 211 opposite to the proximity switch, the lifting plate 205 drives the blocking plate 211 to move up and down, thereby blocking one proximity switch and causing the proximity switch to trigger the first motor body 203 to stop working, thus controlling the distance the lifting plate 205 moves up and down. By installing the steel ruler 212 on the other side of the second mounting bracket 201, and installing the pointer 213 on the lifting plate 205, with the pointer 213 facing the steel ruler 212, the lifting plate 205 and the pointer 213 can move up and down synchronously, thereby measuring the height of the lifting plate 205 through the steel ruler 212, and thus achieving precise control of the height of the sample stage mechanism 18; by making the pointer 213 and the shield 211 at the same height, the operator can adjust the distance between the two proximity switches by the data pointed to by the pointer 213, thereby precisely controlling the distance of the lifting plate 205 moving up and down.

[0056] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the sample stage mechanism 18 includes: a mounting plate 181, a support frame assembly 182, a second motor body 183, a crucible body 184, a pad 185, and a striking plate 186; the mounting plate 181 is located inside the vacuum tank 11 and is connected to the support column 206; the support frame assembly 182 is mounted on the mounting plate 181; the second motor body 183 is mounted inside the support frame assembly 182; the crucible body 184 is located above the support frame assembly 182 and is connected to the second motor body 183; the pad 185 is mounted on one side wall of the support frame assembly 182; the striking plate 186 is connected to the pad 185 and is opposite to the striking mechanism 19.

[0057] By positioning the mounting plate 181 inside the vacuum chamber 11 and connecting it to the support column 206, the support column 206 can drive the mounting plate 181 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the mounting plate 181. By mounting the support frame assembly 182 on the mounting plate 181, installing the second motor body 183 inside the support frame assembly 182, and connecting the crucible body 184 to the second motor body 183, the support frame assembly 182 supports the second motor body 183, thereby enabling the second motor body 183 to drive the crucible body 184 to rotate. This allows the crucible body 184 to drive multiple sample microspheres to rotate when multiple sample microspheres are placed inside the crucible body 184, preventing the sample microspheres from sticking together and improving the coating effect on the sample microspheres. By installing the pad 185 on one side wall of the support frame assembly 182, connecting the striking plate 186 to the pad 185, and positioning the striking plate 186 opposite to the striking mechanism 19, the support frame assembly 182 supports the striking plate 186 through the pad 185. This allows the striking mechanism 19 to strike the support frame assembly 182 through the striking plate 186, thereby increasing the striking area of ​​the striking mechanism 19 on the support frame assembly 182 and improving the user experience of the product.

[0058] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 11As shown, the support frame assembly 182 includes: a support frame body 1821, a support plate 1822, positioning blocks 1823, a motor plate 1824, positioning protrusions 1825, and a handle 1826; the support frame body 1821 is mounted on the mounting plate 181; two support plates 1822 are respectively mounted on both sides of the top of the support frame body 1821; multiple positioning blocks 1823 are disposed on the support plates 1822, and there is a gap between adjacent positioning blocks 1823; the motor plate 1824 is located between the two support plates 1822, and a second motor body 183 is mounted on the bottom of the motor plate 1824; at least two positioning protrusions 1825 are respectively connected to both sides of the motor plate 1824, and at least two positioning protrusions 1825 are respectively placed on the two support plates 1822, and the positioning protrusions 1825 are located between adjacent positioning blocks 1823; the handle 1826 is connected to the motor plate 1824.

[0059] By installing two support plates 1822 on both sides of the top of the support frame body 1821, and setting multiple positioning blocks 1823 on the support plates 1822 with a gap between adjacent positioning blocks 1823, the support frame body 1821 is supported by the two support plates 1822 for the multiple positioning blocks 1823; by placing the motor plate 1824 between the support plates 1822 and installing the second motor body 183 at the bottom of the motor plate 1824, the motor plate 1824 can support the second motor body 183; by positioning multiple protrusions 1825 respectively on both sides of the motor plate 1824... The connection involves placing multiple positioning protrusions 1825 on two support plates 1822, with the positioning protrusions 1825 positioned between two adjacent positioning blocks 1823. This allows the support plates 1822 to support the motor plate 1824 via the positioning protrusions 1825, thereby enabling the two adjacent positioning blocks 1823 to position the positioning protrusions 1825 and the motor plate 1824. By connecting the handle 1826 to the motor plate 1824, the operator can use the handle 1826 to pick up and drop the motor plate 1824, the second motor body 183, and the crucible body 184, facilitating the replacement of sample microspheres.

[0060] By adopting the above structure, the positioning protrusion 1825 is positioned by two adjacent positioning blocks 1823 and the positioning protrusion 1825 is placed on the support plate 1822, so that the support frame body 1821 supports the motor plate 1824 and the second motor body 183 through the support plate 1822. This allows the positioning protrusion 1825 to be placed between two different positioning blocks 1823 to adjust the relative position of the crucible body 184 and the quartz tube 13, thereby improving the applicability of the product.

[0061] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 10As shown, the striking mechanism 19 includes: a third mounting bracket 191, an electromagnet 192, a striking rod 194, a guide sleeve 195, an adjusting nut 196, and a spring 197; the third mounting bracket 191 is mounted on the workbench 10 and is located on one side of the vacuum tank 11; an iron core 193 is provided inside the electromagnet 192, and the electromagnet 192 is mounted inside the third mounting bracket 191; one end of the striking rod 194 is connected to the iron core 193, and the striking rod 194... The other end of the striking rod 194 passes through the side wall of the vacuum tank 11, and the other end of the striking rod 194 is opposite to the striking plate 186; the guide sleeve 195 is installed on the side wall of the vacuum tank 11, and the guide sleeve 195 is wrapped around the outside of the striking rod 194; the adjusting nut 196 is fitted on the outside of the striking rod 194; the spring 197 is wrapped around the outside of the striking rod 194, one end of the spring 197 is in contact with the guide sleeve 195, and the other end of the spring 197 is in contact with the adjusting nut 196.

[0062] By mounting the third mounting bracket 191 on the workbench 10 and installing the electromagnet 192 inside the third mounting bracket 191, the third mounting bracket 191 supports the electromagnet 192, so that when the electromagnet 192 is energized, the iron core 193 can reciprocate within the electromagnet 192. By connecting one end of the striking rod 194 to the iron core 193 and having the other end of the striking rod 194 pass through the side wall of the vacuum tank 11 and be opposite to the striking plate 186, when the iron core 193 reciprocates within the electromagnet 192, the iron core 193 drives the striking rod 194 to reciprocate within the vacuum tank 11, thereby enabling the striking rod 194 to strike the striking plate 186, thus preventing multiple sample microspheres from sticking together and improving the coating effect on the sample microspheres. By installing the guide sleeve 195 on the side wall of the vacuum tank 11 and wrapping the guide sleeve 195 around the outside of the striking rod 194, the vacuum tank 11 supports the guide sleeve 195, thereby guiding the striking rod 194 and improving the stability of the striking rod 194's movement. By fitting the adjusting nut 196 on the outside of the striking rod 194, with one end of the spring 197 in contact with the guide sleeve 195 and the other end of the spring 197 in contact with the adjusting nut 196, when the striking rod 194 moves toward the striking plate 186, the striking rod 194 compresses the spring 197 through the adjusting nut 196. This ensures that when the striking rod 194 moves away from the striking plate 186, the spring 197 resets and drives the striking rod 194 to move, thus improving the user experience of the product. Meanwhile, by fitting the adjusting nut 196 onto the outside of the striking rod 194, the clamping force of the adjusting nut 196 on the spring 197 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjusting nut 196 on the striking rod 194, thereby improving the applicability of the product.

[0063] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the pumping mechanism 17 includes: a fourth mounting bracket 171, a molecular pump 172, a gas delivery pipe 173, an electric gate valve 174, and a vacuum pump 175; the fourth mounting bracket 171 is installed inside the workbench 10; the molecular pump 172 is installed on the fourth mounting bracket 171; the gas delivery pipe 173 is installed inside the workbench 10, passing through the top of the workbench 10, with the top of the gas delivery pipe 173 located inside the vacuum tank 11, and the gas delivery pipe 173 is located above the molecular pump 172; the electric gate valve 174 is installed inside the workbench 10, located between the molecular pump 172 and the gas delivery pipe 173, and the electric gate valve 174 is simultaneously in contact with the output end of the molecular pump 172 and the gas delivery pipe 173; the vacuum pump 175 is installed on the outside of the workbench 10, and the vacuum pump 175 is connected to the vacuum tank 11.

[0064] By installing the fourth mounting bracket 171 inside the workbench 10 and mounting the molecular pump 172 on the fourth mounting bracket 171, the fourth mounting bracket 171 supports the molecular pump 172, thereby improving the stability of the molecular pump 172. By passing the gas guide tube 173 through the top of the workbench 10, with the top of the gas guide tube 173 located inside the vacuum tank 11 and above the molecular pump 172, the workbench 10 supports the gas guide tube 173, thereby connecting the gas guide tube 173 with the interior of the vacuum tank 11. By installing the electric gate valve 174 inside the workbench 10, positioning it between the molecular pump 172 and the gas guide pipe 173, and ensuring that the electric gate valve 174 is simultaneously in contact with both the output end of the molecular pump 172 and the gas guide pipe 173, the workbench 10 supports the electric gate valve 174. This allows the electric gate valve 174 to control the on / off connection between the gas guide pipe 173 and the molecular pump 172, enabling the molecular pump 172 to evacuate air from the vacuum tank 11 through the gas guide pipe 173, thus creating a vacuum state inside the vacuum tank 11. By installing the vacuum pump 175 outside the workbench 10 and connecting it to the vacuum tank 11, the vacuum pump 175 can extract air from the vacuum tank 11, achieving a predetermined vacuum level inside the vacuum tank 11, which then facilitates the extraction of air from the vacuum tank 11 by the molecular pump 172.

[0065] Using the above structure, firstly, the vacuum pump 175 is started to extract the air from the vacuum tank 11, so that the vacuum tank 11 reaches a predetermined vacuum level; then, the electric gate valve 174 is started to connect the molecular pump 172 to the gas delivery pipe 173; then, the molecular pump 172 is started to extract the air from the vacuum tank 11, so that the molecular pump 172 reaches the ultimate vacuum level, thereby enabling the sample microspheres to be coated in a high vacuum environment, thereby improving the user experience of the product.

[0066] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the vacuum pumping mechanism 17 further includes: a shielding net 176, mounting posts 177, and a baffle 178; the shielding net 176 is located inside the vacuum tank 11 and is installed on the top of the air guide pipe 173; multiple mounting posts 177 are installed inside the vacuum tank 11 and are arranged around the outside of the air guide pipe 173; the baffle 178 is connected to multiple mounting posts 177 and is located above the air guide pipe 173.

[0067] By installing multiple mounting posts 177 inside the vacuum tank 11, with the posts 177 surrounding the outside of the gas guide tube 173, and connecting a baffle 178 to the posts 177 simultaneously and positioning the baffle 178 above the gas guide tube 173, the posts 177 support the baffle 178, thereby shielding the gas guide tube 173 from debris falling into it. This prevents debris from entering the molecular pump 172 and thus avoids damage to it. Furthermore, by installing a shielding net 176 on top of the gas guide tube 173, debris is prevented from entering the tube, further preventing damage to the molecular pump 172 and improving the user experience.

[0068] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the gas supply mechanism 16 includes: a gas supply frame 161, flow controllers 162, gas pipelines 163, and electromagnetic shut-off valves 164; the gas supply frame 161 is mounted on the workbench 10; three flow controllers 162 are mounted on the gas supply frame 161; one end of the gas pipeline 163 is connected to the output end of the three flow controllers 162, and the other end of the gas pipeline 163 is connected to the top of the quartz tube 13; three electromagnetic shut-off valves 164 are mounted on the gas supply frame 161, and the three electromagnetic shut-off valves 164 are respectively connected to the input end of the three flow controllers 162, and the three electromagnetic shut-off valves 164 are respectively connected to three gas sources.

[0069] By mounting the gas supply frame 161 on the workbench 10, mounting three flow controllers 162 on the gas supply frame 161, and mounting the solenoid shut-off valve 164 on the gas supply frame 161, the gas supply frame 161 supports the three flow controllers 162 and the three solenoid shut-off valves 164, thereby improving the stability of the three flow controllers 162 and the three solenoid shut-off valves 164. By connecting the three solenoid shut-off valves 164 to three gas sources respectively, and connecting the three solenoid shut-off valves 164 to the input terminals of the three flow controllers 162 respectively, the solenoid shut-off valves 164 can control whether the gas from the gas sources flows into the flow controllers. By connecting one end of the gas pipeline 163 to the output terminals of the three flow controllers 162 simultaneously, and connecting the other end of the gas pipeline 163 to the top of the quartz tube 13, the three flow controllers 162 can control the flow rate of the gas from the three gas sources into the gas pipeline 163 respectively, thereby improving the accuracy of the working gas flow control for sample microsphere coating, and thus improving the coating effect of the sample microspheres.

[0070] Specifically, the outer wall of the vacuum chamber 11 is provided with a sampling port to facilitate the replacement of sample microspheres by the operator. An operating door is rotatably connected to the vacuum chamber 11 and fits snugly against the sampling port, allowing the operating door to open or close the sampling port, thereby ensuring the vacuum of the vacuum chamber 11.
