Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of thin film material and device manufacturing, and in particular to a film forming liquid injection device for centrifugal film making equipment, which is mainly used to inject film forming liquids of different substances into the surface of a rotating substrate in the form of liquid columns to achieve precise control and preparation of thin film structures. Background Art

[0002] Flexible large-area uniform nano-thin film materials can be widely used in technical fields such as optoelectronic devices, energy storage devices, protective functional coatings, catalytic synthesis, composite materials, etc., and the efficient control preparation of nano-thickness thin film materials with uniform thickness is the key process basis for realizing the above applications. At present, the commonly used nano-thickness thin film material preparation technologies in industry mainly include evaporation, magnetron sputtering, spraying, spin coating, scraping, inkjet printing, etc. Among them, evaporation and magnetron sputtering can achieve uniform thickness of material deposition, but their operation is complicated, the equipment cost is high, and the requirements for target materials are extremely high. Spin coating and inkjet printing have a small action area and low efficiency, so it is impossible to prepare thin film materials on a large area, and the uniformity of large areas is poor; spraying and scraping processes can achieve the preparation of large-area thin film materials, but it is usually difficult to prepare nano-thickness thin film materials.

[0003] A Chinese invention patent application (publication number CN108568926A) proposes a method for efficiently preparing highly oriented and dense two-dimensional material films. The method uses a round tube with a smooth inner surface as a casting mold. When the mold rotates at high speed in a circular direction, a solution containing two-dimensional materials is poured into the mold, and the two-dimensional materials are assembled into a film using centrifugal force. This method is the centrifugal film-making technology, which can be used to obtain highly oriented and dense ordered microstructured film materials. A Chinese invention patent application (publication number CN109177010A) proposes the basic structure of a device for thin film preparation based on this technology; at the same time, the device uses an atomization spraying process to deposit the film-forming liquid onto the surface of a rotating substrate film, and can prepare a continuous film material with a nanometer thickness, but there are problems such as poor uniformity, stringent requirements for the film-forming liquid, and the risk of explosion. In order to solve these problems, the Chinese invention patent application with application number: 201910460855.5 provides a new method for preparing thin films based on micro-printing nozzles or needles injecting film-forming liquid, which can achieve efficient controlled preparation of nano-thickness thin film materials with uniform thickness.

The large hole forms a cavity of the residual liquid recovery tube, and the upper outer part of the cavity is connected to the absorption pump through a pipeline.

[0017] The design idea of ​​the present invention is:

[0018] The present invention is a basic structure of a film-forming liquid needle injection system for centrifugal film-making, which includes four basic components: a needle component, a needle injection angle and position adjustment component, a film-forming liquid pressurization component, and a residual liquid collection component before and after the film-forming liquid is injected.

[0019] The needle injection angle and position adjustment assembly includes but is not limited to basic parts such as a needle rotating device, a needle telescopic device, and a needle moving device along the axial direction of the drum rotation, which can realize the function of arbitrarily adjusting the shear force between the liquid and the surface of the film-forming substrate when the liquid is injected. When the substrate rotation speed is not adjusted, that is, when a fixed centrifugal field is maintained, if the shear force of liquid injection needs to be increased, the needle can be pointed in the direction opposite to the substrate rotation; when the shear force of liquid injection needs to be reduced, the needle can be pointed in the direction of the substrate rotation. The needle telescopic device can adjust the distance between the needle and the surface of the film-forming substrate. Due to different liquid flow rates, different liquid components and viscosities, the length and shape of the arc of the liquid column ejected from the needle are also different. By adjusting the needle telescopic device, the optimal needle injection distance can be obtained; the needle moving device along the axial direction of the drum rotation can control the position of the needle injected on the surface of the film-forming substrate, thereby controlling the liquid film distribution on the rotating substrate, and finally adjusting the film-forming area on the substrate.

[0020] The film-forming liquid booster assembly pressurizes the liquid and passes it into the needle, so that the liquid flowing out of the needle forms a thin column. The liquid booster assembly can adjust the liquid injection speed and the arc of the needle port liquid column by adjusting the liquid pressure.

[0021] The residual liquid collection component before and after the film-forming liquid is injected. At the beginning stage of the film-forming liquid injection, since the liquid flow in the liquid pipeline and the needle needs a certain time to reach a stable flow state when it is started, during this period, the liquid injected from the needle is unstable. If it is directly injected or dripped onto the surface of the film-forming substrate, it will cause uneven distribution of the film; similarly, in the stage of stopping the liquid injection, since the liquid flow in the liquid pipeline and the needle needs a certain time to reach a completely stopped flow state when it stops, during this period, the needle is prone to dripping. If it is directly dripped onto the surface of the film-forming substrate, it will also cause uneven distribution of the film. Therefore, a residual liquid collection component before and after the film-forming liquid is injected is required.

[0022] The residual liquid collection components before and after the film-forming liquid is injected can be, but are not limited to, a fixed residual liquid collection tank, a movable residual liquid collection tank, residual liquid absorbent cotton, and a residual liquid recovery tube. The working principle of the fixed residual liquid collection tank is: two fixed residual liquid collection tanks are fixed on the two edges of the film-forming area through the fixed residual liquid collection tank bracket, which do not rotate with the drum or move with the needle. When the needle injection starts, the needle is first moved to the fixed residual liquid collection tank so that the fixed residual liquid collection tank can collect residual liquid. After the liquid column is stable, the needle begins to move out of the fixed residual liquid collection tank and injects it into the surface of the film-forming substrate. When the needle moves out of the film-forming area, it enters above the second fixed residual liquid collection tank, stops the injection, and the residual liquid falls into the second fixed residual liquid collection tank. The working principle of the movable residual liquid collection tank is: when the injection starts, the movable residual liquid collection tank moves to the bottom of the needle, and the liquid column enters the movable residual liquid collection tank. When the needle moves to the film-forming area, the movable residual liquid collection tank is removed, and the liquid column enters the surface of the film-forming substrate. When the injection is stopped, the movable residual liquid collection tank is moved to the bottom of the needle to collect the residual liquid. The working principle of the residual liquid collection cotton is: when the needle starts to inject and ends the injection of liquid, the droplets formed are usually hanging on the tip of the needle. Therefore, the needle is covered with absorbent cotton, leaving only the needle tip exposed. The absorbent cotton will automatically absorb the droplets without affecting the injection of the liquid. The working principle of the residual liquid recovery tube is: when the needle starts to inject and ends the injection of liquid, the droplets formed are usually hanging on the tip of the needle. Therefore, the needle tip is covered with a residual liquid recovery tube. The residual liquid recovery tube is connected to the absorption pump through a pipeline, and the absorption pump can effectively absorb and recover the droplets. The residual liquid recovery tube is used to recover the droplets, which can be used for multiple large-flow droplet recovery, and can be applied to various solvents with different viscosities. The device can also be used for automatic needle cleaning, and the cleaning liquid can be quickly recovered using the residual liquid recovery tube.

[0023] The purpose of the residual liquid collection components before and after the injection of the above four film-forming liquids is to collect the unstable liquid columns or droplets formed at the beginning and end of the needle injection to prevent them from falling directly onto the surface of the rotating substrate and affecting the film-forming effect.

[0024] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0025] (1) The present invention adopts a needle injection method to form a liquid column, which can evenly inject the liquid into the surface of the film-forming substrate. The needle injection can effectively control the injection area and injection amount, thereby controlling the film-forming area and film thickness.

[0026] (2) The present invention adopts a needle angle adjustment component to adjust the injection angle, thereby realizing independent regulation of the shear rate and centrifugal field on the substrate surface during liquid injection. When the centrifugal field remains unchanged, the shear rate can be increased by pointing the needle in the direction opposite to the substrate rotation, while the shear rate can be reduced by pointing the needle in the direction forward of the substrate rotation.

[0027] (3) The present invention adopts a residual liquid collection device, which can collect unstable droplets or liquid columns formed at the start and end stages of liquid injection, thereby preventing the residual liquid from falling directly into the film-forming area.

At the same time, the needle 3 is moved by the needle moving device 4 along the rotating axis of the drum according to the set film-forming area, so that the liquid film is evenly spread over the entire set film-forming area. The transformation from liquid film to solid film is completed by curing treatment, and a uniform nano-thickness film is formed in the set area on the surface of the film-forming substrate 2.

[0039] The features of this embodiment are as follows: liquid is injected by needle, which can be used for various organic and inorganic liquids, suitable for a wide range of viscosities, and has low requirements for the dispersion of film-forming materials; the direction of liquid injection can be adjusted by the needle injection angle adjustment device, and the shear rate and centrifugal force of the liquid injection and the rotating drum can be regulated by controlling the liquid injection speed and the rotating drum speed; the distance between the needle tip and the substrate can be adjusted by the needle telescopic device to achieve the best arc for liquid injection.

The stainless steel needle 3 is installed on the needle telescopic device 6, and the needle 3 is connected to the liquid booster pump 7 through a pipeline, and the pipeline passes through the needle telescopic device 6 and the slide bar 14 in sequence.

[0042] In addition, the fixed residual liquid collecting tank 8 is two stainless steel semicircular collecting tanks arranged in parallel, the outer radius of the semicircular collecting tank is 114mm, the shell thickness is 1.0mm, the collecting tank width is 4mm, and the collecting tank height is 5mm. The distance between the two fixed residual liquid collecting tanks 8 is 80mm, that is, the width of the film forming area is 80mm. The two ends of the fixed residual liquid collecting tank 8 are fixed in the rotating drum 1 by two right-angled fixed residual liquid collecting tank brackets 9. The center of the fixed residual liquid collecting tank 8 is concentric with the rotating drum 1, and the gap between the fixed residual liquid collecting tank 8 and the film forming substrate 2 is 2mm.

[0043] The use process of this embodiment is as follows: the film-forming substrate 2 is arranged on the inner surface of the rotating drum 1, and the rotating drum 1 drives the film-forming substrate 2 to rotate at a set speed, and the external or internal heating is turned on to control the surface temperature of the film-forming substrate 2.
