Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum coating equipment, in particular to a high-low temperature cycle bias insulation roll-to-roll coating cold roller structure. Background Art
[0002] The application of vacuum coating technology in production is becoming more and more extensive, and vacuum evaporation coating is the earliest developed, most common and most widely used vacuum coating process. Continuous roll-to-roll vacuum coating equipment has gradually become popular due to its high speed, high efficiency and low cost, and is widely used in the production of large-area flexible films.
[0003] In recent years, the market demand for flexible substrate coating has increased significantly, and it is widely used in industries such as flexible packaging, electronic information, electromagnetic shielding films, new energy lithium batteries, and photovoltaic modules. In particular, with the rapid development of demand for new energy power batteries, the demand for preparing film layers on ultra-thin flexible base films has become increasingly evident. When evaporating and coating such ultra-thin flexible base films, the base film is prone to deformation and wrinkling in the high coating heating environment temperature, which seriously affects production efficiency and coating quality. At present, most of the industry has achieved mass production of thin films with single coating (film thickness of 50-100nm each time). In order to achieve the final mass production of thicker thick films (film thickness of 800-1000nm), multiple reciprocating coatings are required to accumulate thickness to achieve the final film thickness requirements. During this process, multiple film formations are required and the substrate needs to be reciprocated multiple times, which significantly increases the risk points: for example, due to multiple film formations, the interface contamination between the layers leads to purity differences; due to multiple film passes, the film layers are stretched and tensile multiple times, leading to micro cracks; due to multiple film passes, any failure caused by any one failure is overall failure, the stability and controllability are low, and the yield is difficult to control, etc. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the above problems, the utility model provides a negative potential or positive potential of an external bias device at the inlet and outlet water channel rotating joint at one end of a cold roller, so as to realize a high and low temperature cyclic bias insulation roll-to-roll coating cold roller structure by adjusting the negative potential or positive potential of the bias before or during the deposition of a film layer on the surface of a flexible substrate.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a high and low temperature cycle bias insulation roll-to-roll coating cold roller structure, including a cold roller, a vacuum chamber door panel, a magnetic fluid, a magnetic fluid insulation sleeve, a bellows, a built-in front end bearing seat, a built-in end bearing seat, a synchronous wheel, an inlet and outlet water pipe rotary joint, a synchronous belt and a servo motor. The outer surface of the cold roller is a ceramic layer, and six circulating water channels are designed on the inner side of the ceramic layer. The six circulating water channels are equidistantly distributed in spirals, and the six water inlet channels are close to the vacuum chamber door panel, and the six water return channels are far away from the vacuum chamber door panel. Two concentric hollow water channels are designed in the middle spindle of the cold roller. Channels are respectively a total water inlet channel and a total water return channel. The shoulders at both ends of the cold roller are positioned and installed on two parallel supporting side plates fixed to the door plate of the vacuum chamber through a built-in front end bearing seat and a built-in end bearing seat. The power input end of the cold roller extends out of the vacuum chamber, and high-speed vacuum sealing is achieved through magnetic fluid. The power input end of the cold roller is designed to be equipped with a synchronous wheel and is connected to the synchronous wheel on the servo motor through a synchronous belt. The servo motor is installed on the motor seat. The tail of the power input end of the cold roller is connected to an inlet and outlet water pipe rotating joint to connect the total water inlet channel and the total water return channel. The inlet and outlet water pipe rotating joint is externally connected to the negative potential or positive potential of the bias device.
[0006] Furthermore, the ceramic layer has a finishing thickness of 200 μm after grinding, a surface hardness greater than 65 degrees, and a surface roughness better than 0.04 μm.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner ring of the built-in front end bearing seat and the inner ring of the built-in end bearing seat are both fixed with insulating sleeves that rotate with the bearings.
[0008] Furthermore, the magnetic fluid inner ring is sealed with a magnetic fluid insulating sleeve via an O-ring.
[0009] Furthermore, the magnetic fluid is connected to the vacuum chamber door panel by a bellows.
[0010] From the above description of the structure of the utility model, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0011] 1. The present invention realizes the purpose of close adsorption of the film and the cold roller by adjusting the negative potential or positive potential of the bias device externally connected to the water inlet and outlet rotary joint at one end of the cold roller before or during the deposition of the film layer on the surface of the flexible substrate, thereby greatly improving the heat exchange capacity.
[0012] 2. The cold roller system of the present invention is connected to the refrigeration / heating system for heat exchange. The cold roller system can be used to quickly cool down the flexible substrate during the vapor deposition process. The cooling effect is good, deformation of the flexible substrate is avoided, and the quality of the film after vapor deposition is guaranteed. In addition, when vapor deposition is not performed, the cold roller system starts heating to heat the cold roller to room temperature to prevent frosting of the cold roller.

At the same time, the cold roller system structure is relatively compact, which is convenient for assembly and maintenance, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

[0022] The inner ring of the magnetic fluid 6 is sealed with a magnetic fluid insulating sleeve 7 through an O-ring, and the preferred material is PEEK.
[0023] The present invention achieves the purpose of close adsorption of the film and the cold roller by adjusting the negative potential or positive potential of the bias voltage before or during the deposition of the film layer on the surface of the flexible substrate through the negative potential or positive potential of the inlet and outlet water channel rotary joint externally connected to the bias voltage device at one end of the cold roller, thereby greatly improving the heat exchange capacity; the cold roller system is connected to the refrigeration / heating system for cold and heat exchange, and the cold roller system can be used to quickly cool down the flexible substrate in the process of evaporation, with good cooling effect, avoiding deformation of the flexible substrate, and ensuring the quality of the film after evaporation. In addition, when no evaporation is performed, the cold roller system is started Dynamic heating heats the cold roller to room temperature to prevent frost on the cold roller; the cold roller is designed with six spiral circulating water channels for more uniform cooling. At the same time, the cold roller system has a compact structure, which is convenient for assembly and maintenance, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing maintenance costs; it achieves constant temperature film forming control of flexible substrates to ensure film quality and stable mass production, especially for products with high requirements for film thickness. The coating process with higher film forming heat has more advantages, effectively reducing the number of reciprocating coating times, achieving one-time molding of most processes, while ensuring the quality of the film layer and stable high-yield mass production.
