The turret body 11 is bolted to the top of the MFD device and is used to support fixtures or workpiece carriers within the vacuum chamber. The upper connecting shaft extends into the vacuum chamber and connects to the turret body 11. The bearing end of the MFD body 20 is mounted outside the chamber. The bearing inside the MFD body 20 is sealed to prevent contact with the vacuum. The MFD device also includes a heat dissipation structure to dissipate heat from the upper connecting shaft (MFD body 20) after it is exposed to high temperatures.

[0024] The specific solution is as follows: an A1 mounting plate 23 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the chamber bottom plate 10, an assembly portion 21 is provided on the magnetic fluid body 20, an insulating sealing assembly includes an insulating plate 22 located between the A1 mounting plate 23 and the assembly portion 21, and A assembly holes are provided on the assembly portion 21 at intervals along its circumference. The assembly portion 21, the insulating plate 22, and the A1 mounting plate 23 are arranged in a superimposed manner. The A assembly holes are provided in the A assembly holes to achieve a fixed connection between the magnetic fluid body 20 and the A1 mounting plate 23, and the assembly bolts 26 are provided with an insulating sleeve 27. Specifically, the assembly portion 21 can be formed by a flange provided on the magnetic fluid body 20, and the A1 mounting plate 23 can be fixedly connected to the chamber bottom plate 10 by welding. The assembly bolts 26 are installed in the insulating sleeve 27 to prevent electrical conduction. The magnetic fluid body 20 is isolated by the insulating plate 22 to prevent the current of the magnetic fluid body 20 from being conducted into the vacuum chamber.

[0025] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown: the insulating sealing assembly also includes an insulating sleeve 27 tube 24 that is hollowly sleeved on the upper connecting shaft portion.

A dust cover 25 is sleeved on the shaft body of the upper connecting shaft portion located in the coating chamber, and the dust cover 25 is fixedly mounted on the chamber bottom plate 10. The function of the dust cover 25 is to prevent dust from entering the gap between the insulating sleeve 27 tube 24 and the upper connecting shaft portion. The dust cover 25 is fixed to the chamber bottom plate 10 by a bolt assembly.

[0026] like Figure 2As shown, the lower connecting shaft is provided with a transmission wheel A 34 . The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 30 . The output shaft of the drive motor 30 is provided with a transmission wheel B 32 . The transmission wheel A 34 is connected to the transmission wheel B 32 in a driving manner. The transmission wheel A 34 is mounted on the lower connecting shaft via an insulating member A, a gland 48 , and a coupling. Specifically, the coupling is connected to the lower connecting shaft via a flat key. The coupling is fixedly connected to the insulating member A and the transmission wheel A 34 via bolts. The gland 48 then secures the coupling to the step on the lower connecting shaft. The isolation provided by the insulating member A isolates the high-voltage current of the magnetic fluid body 20 . The lower connecting shaft portion is a variable diameter shaft portion, including an A1 shaft segment and an A2 shaft segment arranged upper and lower.

The transmission belt 35 (synchronous belt) connects drive pulleys A 34 and B 32. The advantages of the transmission belt 35 are precise, smooth transmission, low error, and low noise. Made of high-strength, wear-resistant non-metallic materials, the transmission belt 35 is durable and insulated. It requires no assembly or splicing, making installation and adjustment simple and easy to maintain. A guide mechanism is installed along the transmission belt 35's path to prevent excessive horizontality between the master and slave pulleys, which can lead to synchronous belt deflection due to wear and tear. The power connection mounting bracket includes a horizontal mounting plate 42 and a vertical mounting plate 41. The vertical mounting plate 41 is located within the transmission belt 35 and is suspended from the chamber floor 10. The horizontal mounting plate 42 is fixedly mounted to the lower end of the vertical mounting plate 41. An insulating mounting plate 43 is fixedly mounted to the horizontal mounting plate 42. The lower end of the copper sleeve 44 is fixedly mounted to the insulating mounting plate 43. A suspended inductive switch bracket 45 is also provided on the insulating mounting plate 43. The inductive switch bracket 45 is used to mount an inductive switch. An inductive block 46 is provided next to the inductive switch and is fixedly mounted to the lower end of the lower connecting shaft via an inductive mounting member 47. The vertical mounting plate 41 in the power connection mounting bracket is bolted to the A2 mounting plate. The insulating mounting plate 43 is bolted to the horizontal mounting plate 42 and the copper sleeve 44. The insulating mounting plate 43 serves to isolate the copper sleeve 44 from the current. The copper sleeve 44 fits in contact with the magnetic fluid body 20 and is used to power the magnetic fluid device. The induction switch bracket 45 is installed at the bottom of the insulating mounting plate 43, and the induction block 46 and the mounting piece are fixed to the bottom of the magnetic fluid body 20 and rotate with the magnetic fluid body 20. The induction switch (photoelectric sensor) installed on the induction switch bracket 45 can detect the position and count.

[0028] The belt surface of the transmission belt 35 is arranged vertically, and the guide mechanism includes two guide sub-units for guiding the inner and outer belt bodies of the transmission belt 35 respectively. The guide sub-units include upper guide rollers 51 and lower guide rollers 52 arranged correspondingly at the upper and lower ends. The upper guide rollers 51 and lower guide rollers 52 are rotatably mounted on the ends of the upper mounting shaft 53 and lower mounting shaft 54 ​​respectively. The upper guide rollers 51 and lower guide rollers 52 sandwich and guide the belt body. The upper mounting shaft 53 and lower mounting shaft 54 ​​are fixedly mounted on the guide bracket. The guide bracket consists of a vertically arranged A1 connector 55 and a horizontally arranged A2 connector 56. The guide bracket is fixedly mounted on the chamber bottom plate 10 via the A2 mounting plate. The A2 mounting plate can be fixedly mounted on the chamber bottom plate 10 by welding. The guide mechanism is fixedly connected to the A2 mounting plate via bolts. The upper mounting shaft 53, the lower mounting shaft 54, the upper guide roller 51, the lower guide roller 52, the upper mounting shaft 53, the lower mounting shaft 54, the A1 connector 55, and the A2 connector 56 are fixed together via bolts. The upper guide roller 51 and the lower guide roller 52 are pressed against the sides of the transmission belt 35. The drive motor 30 is fixedly mounted on the chamber floor 10 via a motor bracket 31. A clamping member 33 for clamping the B transmission wheel 32 is provided on the output shaft of the drive motor 30. Specifically, the drive motor 30 is fixed to the A3 mounting plate, which is fixedly mounted to the chamber floor 10 by welding. The motor bracket 31 is fixed to the A3 mounting plate via bolts. The B transmission wheel 32 is keyed to the output shaft of the drive motor 30. If the load of the rotating frame body 11 is large, 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. Therefore, 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 bearings inside 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 processing and assembly errors of the assembly causing the two transmission wheels to be not in the same horizontal plane, and the wear and tear of the later operation; thereby improving the service life and reliability of the coating equipment.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
