Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vacuum coating temperature detection, and in particular to a device for real-time temperature detection in a vacuum chamber. Background Art

[0002] In the arc ion plating process of vacuum coating, arc ion plating is a technology that uses gas discharge to partially ionize the gas or evaporated material, and deposits the evaporated material or its reactant on the substrate under the bombardment of gas ions or evaporated material ions. In the common vacuum coating process, the plated part usually needs to be installed on the workpiece rack for rotation and other movements to meet the needs of heating, curing and uniform coating, and the static coating is less common. In the existing vacuum coating equipment, the temperature detection of the surface layer of the plated part usually relies on a remote non-contact temperature detection method, such as laser temperature measurement, etc., and the temperature of the vacuum coating environment is measured to approximately replace the temperature of the plated part. The temperature measured by this non-contact temperature detection method is usually accompanied by attenuation and loss of the detection signal. The temperature measured is often very different from the temperature of the surface layer of the plated part, making it difficult to detect the actual molding temperature of the vacuum coated part. However, some special temperature detection equipment has a more special structure and is difficult to be used in vacuum coating equipment of other structures. Therefore, it is difficult to monitor the actual temperature of the vacuum coated part in real time. The error in temperature measurement leads to poor control effect on the finished product of vacuum coating.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, European invention patent EP4024018B1 discloses a temperature measuring device. In this invention patent, the heat in the area to be measured is conducted to the temperature sensing part in a direct contact manner through a heat conduction shell with high thermal conductivity, and the temperature of the area to be measured is measured by heat transfer generated by evaporation and condensation through the heat pipe phenomenon. In this technical solution, the temperature conduction structure is in direct contact with the position to be measured, and the temperature detection work may easily interfere with the operation of the system in the detection area. At the same time, there may be a situation where the heat conduction is slow, resulting in a high delay in temperature detection, which is not conducive to real-time monitoring of temperature.

[0004] For example, the U.S. invention patent US8814428B2 discloses a temperature sensing device of a coordinate probe. In this invention patent, the temperature sensing device is driven to contact the temperature detection area through an ordinary Cartesian coordinate mechanism, and is flexibly contacted with the temperature measurement surface through the isolation of a spring. In this technical solution, when the displacement-adjusted coordinate spindle drives the sensing device to rest against the temperature measurement surface, it may be easy to cause excessive pressure to damage the temperature detection device, and in the process of contact between the temperature sensing device and the heat conduction surface, scratches are likely to occur, which may gradually reduce the heat conduction efficiency, and may easily cause the temperature sensing system and the detection area to affect each other and reduce the service life.

[0036] Refer to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 5As shown, the present invention provides a device for real-time temperature detection in a vacuum chamber, comprising a temperature measuring sealing cylinder 10, a sealing chamber 11 is arranged in the temperature measuring sealing cylinder 10, the sealing chamber 11 is communicated with the vacuum chamber to be measured, a sensing positioning cylinder 14 is arranged in the sealing chamber 11, and a temperature sensor 17 is arranged at one end of the sensing positioning cylinder 14 facing the vacuum chamber,

[0037] A positioning seat 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the sensor positioning cylinder 14 facing the vacuum chamber, and a positioning groove is provided at the other end of the positioning seat 16, in which a temperature sensor 17 is fixedly connected; a rotating main shaft 12 is provided in the sealing chamber 11, and an extension limit hole 13 is provided in the rotating main shaft 12, the rotating main shaft 12 passes through the side wall of the sealing chamber 11, and a sealing plug 30 is fixedly connected to one end of the extension limit hole 13 away from the vacuum chamber, and a sensor positioning cylinder 14 is provided at the other end of the extension limit hole 13;

[0038] The positioning groove provided at the upper end of the positioning seat 16 can position the temperature sensor 17, so that the temperature sensor 17 and the positioning packaging flange 21 are kept aligned, and the temperature measuring sealing cylinder 10 is sealed with the opening provided on the side wall of the vacuum chamber to be temperature-detected through the upper end opening of the sealing cover cavity 11, so that the temperature sensor 17 is encapsulated in the connecting space of the vacuum chamber, and the temperature detection of the temperature detection target in the vacuum chamber is performed. At the same time, by arranging the sealing plug 30 in the extended limiting hole 13, the pressure in the vacuum chamber can be kept constant and sealed, which is convenient for providing the temperature detection electrical connection layout through the extended limiting hole 13, and can also provide a wiring channel in the vacuum chamber;

[0039] By arranging the temperature measuring sealing cylinder 10, the sealing chamber 11, the sensing positioning cylinder 14 and the rotating main shaft 12, the temperature of the target to be measured can be detected in the vacuum chamber of the temperature detection. The axial relative position between the sensing positioning cylinder 14 and the rotating main shaft 12 is adjustable, which is convenient for expanding the layout of the temperature sensing device, and can reduce the interference of the temperature measuring device on the system in the vacuum chamber, while maintaining accurate temperature detection positioning, improving the stability of the temperature detection space positioning, and improving the accuracy of the temperature detection heat conduction docking positioning;

[0040] The degree of approximation of the target temperature detection results in the vacuum chamber is reduced, the timeliness and accuracy of temperature detection in the closed space of the vacuum chamber are improved, the accuracy of the interactive position between the operation of the system in the vacuum chamber and the temperature detection device is improved, and the positioning accuracy of the interference state judgment benchmark between the temperature measuring device and the temperature measuring target system is improved.

[0041] See attached Figure 3 To Attachment Figure 5As shown, one end of the extended limiting hole 13 facing the vacuum chamber is slidably connected to the sensor positioning cylinder 14, and one end of the sensor positioning cylinder 14 facing the vacuum chamber is fixedly connected to a docking cover cylinder 19, and a docking isolation chamber 20 is provided in the docking cover cylinder 19, and the docking isolation chamber 20 accommodates the rotating main shaft 12. A docking spring 18 is provided between the docking cover cylinder 19 and the side wall of the sealing cover chamber 11, and one end of the docking cover cylinder 19 away from the vacuum chamber is fixedly connected to the docking spring 18, and the other end of the docking spring 18 is fixedly connected to the rotating main shaft 12;

[0042] The docking spring 18 connects the sensor positioning cylinder 14 and the rotating main shaft 12 through the docking isolation chamber 20, which can buffer the impact of the movement of the temperature measurement target system in the vacuum chamber transmitted to the temperature sensor 17 of the temperature detection device. The docking spring 18 pushes the temperature sensor 17 to flexibly connect the temperature measurement target in the vacuum chamber. The docking cover cylinder 19 can improve the sliding guide effect of the sensor positioning cylinder 14 in the extension limit hole 13. At the same time, the docking isolation chamber 20 can also protect the sensor positioning cylinder 14 and the end of the rotating main shaft 12, reducing the possibility of the system material in the vacuum chamber entering the extension limit hole 13; a docking guide pin 29 can also be arranged between the structure of the temperature measurement target in the vacuum chamber and the temperature measurement device to provide pre-guiding for the heat conduction docking, which can improve the docking stability of the temperature measurement heat conduction;

[0043] The possibility of the sealing load required to maintain the sealing of the closed space being concentrated on the sensing device is reduced, the safety and stability of the temperature measuring mechanism are improved, the conduction path of mutual interference between the temperature detection device and the closed system for temperature measurement is reduced, the degree of interaction between the temperature detection device and the system in the closed space is reduced, the limit of the interaction between the closed system and the temperature detection device is narrowed, and the docking effect of heat conduction between the temperature measuring device and the temperature measurement target system is improved.

[0044] See attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 3 As shown, the rotating main shaft 12 drives the rotating main shaft 12 to rotate synchronously in the circumferential direction of the axis of the extended limiting hole 13, and an opening is provided in the side wall of the sealing chamber 11 away from the vacuum chamber, and the opening accommodates the rotation of the rotating main shaft 12. The end surface of the temperature measuring sealing cylinder 10 away from the vacuum chamber is fixedly connected with a mechanical seal 31, and the mechanical seal 31 is a standard part. The rotating main shaft 12 is rotatably connected inside the mechanical seal 31, and the mechanical seal 31 seals the opening in the side wall of the sealing chamber 11. The mechanical seal 31 maintains the sealing of the side wall of the sealing chamber 11 where the mechanical seal 31 is installed, and the end of the rotating main shaft 12 away from the vacuum chamber is fixedly connected with a synchronous pulley 32, a brush ring sleeve 33 and an encoding disk 34;

[0045] A power synchronous belt driven by a servo motor is fixedly connected to the synchronous pulley 32. The brush ring sleeve 33 at the lower end of the rotating spindle 12 can be wired in the extended limit hole 13. The brush ring sleeve 33 is connected to the temperature sensor 17 through the wiring circuit. At the same time, the brush ring sleeve 33 can also be wired through the extended connecting hole 15 and the positioning seat 16 to provide a connection line for the coating electrode for the coating workpiece rack in the vacuum chamber at the upper end of the positioning seat 16. The encoder disk 34 fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating spindle 12 transmits feedback on the rotation of the rotating spindle 12. When the synchronous pulley 32 drives the rotating spindle 12 to rotate, it drives The sensing positioning cylinder 14 that rotates synchronously with the rotating main shaft 12 in the circumferential direction of the extended limiting hole 13 rotates, thereby driving the docking cover cylinder 19, the positioning seat 16 and the temperature sensor 17 to rotate synchronously. The encoding disk 34 detects the rotation speed at the temperature sensor 17. After comparing the relative rotation angular velocity of the detection object in the vacuum chamber, the control signal sent by the encoding disk 34 immediately drives the rotating main shaft 12 to adjust the rotation speed, thereby controlling the angular velocity of the temperature sensor 17 rotating around the axis of the rotating main shaft 12 to keep the same angular velocity as the detection object in the vacuum chamber, thereby forming a speed control closed loop;

[0046] By setting a synchronous pulley 32 to drive the rotating main shaft 12 and the temperature sensor 17 to keep the same angular velocity with the temperature detection target in the vacuum chamber, the elastic thrust of the docking spring 18 can keep the docking cover tube 19, the positioning seat 16 and the temperature sensor 17 against the surface of the temperature detection target in the vacuum chamber, and the rotating main shaft 12 drives the sensing positioning tube 14 to rotate around the axis of the extended connecting hole 15 and keep it relatively still with the workpiece frame for temperature detection in the vacuum chamber in the circumferential direction of the axis of the temperature measuring sealing tube 10, thereby reducing the possibility of local sliding of the heat conduction part of the temperature sensor 17 during the temperature detection process, and cooperating with the heat conduction docking holding effect of the docking spring 18 to drive the temperature sensor 17 to abut against the temperature detection target position, decomposing the interactive state of the transfer movement between the temperature detection heat conduction action and the system to be measured in the closed space, and the temperature sensor 17 flexibly abuts against the temperature measurement target for heat conduction, while synchronously rotating with the temperature measurement target at the heat conduction position;

[0047] The clarity of the interaction state between the temperature measuring device and the temperature measuring target is improved, the accuracy and stability of the control of the heat conduction docking state of the temperature measuring device are improved, the possibility of motion interference between the heat conduction of the temperature measuring device and the temperature measuring target is reduced, the immediacy and thermal conductivity of the heat conduction of the temperature measuring device are improved, and the efficiency and accuracy of temperature measurement in the closed system are improved.

[0049] A docking slide 41 is arranged in the side wall in the circumferential direction of the sealing chamber 11. The docking slide 41 can slide in the radial direction of the sealing chamber 11 to adjust the distance between the docking slide 41 and the temperature sensor 17. The docking slide 41 is hinged to the docking cover tube 19 through the docking swing frame 42. When the power component drives the first connecting rod 44 to push the docking swing frame 42 to relatively deflect around the hinge center of the docking swing frame 42 and the docking cover tube 19 through the first docking pin 43, the docking slide 41 slides in the side wall of the sealing chamber 11 to adjust the distance between it and the temperature sensor 17. The docking swing frame 42 and the docking cover tube 19 are connected to the sealing chamber 11. The hinged position between the connecting cover tube 19 is driven by the relative deflection of the docking swing frame 42, so that the docking cover tube 19 and the temperature sensor 17 move in the axial direction of the sensor positioning tube 14 and drive the docking spring 18 to elastically expand and contract. At the same time, the first docking pin 43 slides in the axial direction of the docking swing frame 42, and the posture of the first connecting rod 44 adapts to the change, so that the temperature sensor 17 is driven by the first connecting rod 44 to move in the direction of the decomposition of the interactive state between the temperature measuring device and the temperature measuring target. The first connecting rod 44 can drive the temperature sensor 17 to move and adjust the heat conduction position of the temperature measuring device;

[0050] By setting a power component to push the first connecting rod 44 and the docking swing frame 42 to drive the adjustment of the heat conduction position on the temperature sensor 17, the accuracy and convenience of adjusting the heat conduction position between the temperature measuring device and the temperature measuring target can be improved, and the control accuracy of the heat conduction docking state of the temperature measuring device can be further improved. The coordination effect between the temperature measurement heat conduction and the operation of the closed system is improved, and the degree of interaction between the temperature detection device and the system in the closed space is further reduced, and the accuracy of the interference state judgment between the temperature measuring device and the temperature measurement target system is improved.

[0052] The driving power of the docking rocking frame 42 can be arranged outside the sealing chamber 11 and the control channel, thereby reducing the space occupancy rate of the docking rocking frame 42 pushing the docking cover tube 19 to move axially to adjust the docking position of the temperature sensor 17, and can reduce the pressure destruction degree and pressure maintenance load of the vacuum coating closed space caused by the interaction state adjustment between the temperature measuring device and the temperature measuring target, thereby further reducing the interaction degree between the temperature measuring device and the temperature measuring target system.

[0054] By setting the positioning packaging flange 21, the transfer mounting cover 23, the transfer cover 35 and the heat-conducting diaphragm 24, the temperature sensor 17 can be packaged at the end of the positioning packaging flange 21, and the heat-conducting diaphragm 24 contacts the temperature measurement target for heat conduction. The temperature sensor 17 contacts and detects the heat conducted by the heat-conducting diaphragm 24 through the temperature measurement contact block 26, thereby completing the temperature detection work of the temperature measurement target system in the closed space;

[0055] The thermally conductive diaphragm 24, the transfer cover 35 and the transfer mounting cover 23 isolate the temperature sensing and temperature measurement target systems in the enclosed space, reducing the possibility of exposure and mutual damage to the temperature detection device, and improving the safety and stability of the temperature sensing device. At the same time, by providing a conduction spring 25 to buffer the motion transfer of heat conduction docking, the heat conduction is made more stable, the contact reliability of the heat conduction is ensured, the instantaneous temperature measurement of the target system in the enclosed space is further improved, and the approximate value range of the temperature measurement results in the enclosed space is reduced.

[0056] Refer to the attached Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 As shown, a sliding groove 37 is provided in the end surface of the transfer cover 35 located in the vacuum chamber, and a sliding spring 38 is fixedly connected between the transfer cover 35 and the heat-conducting diaphragm 24, and the sliding spring 38 is located in the sliding groove 37; the transfer cover 35 is slidably connected to the heat-conducting diaphragm 24 in the upper end surface facing the vacuum chamber, and the heat-conducting diaphragm 24 seals the connecting space and the transfer channel 36 between the transfer mounting cover 23 and the positioning packaging flange 21. By setting the sliding spring 38, the interaction force generated by the friction in the contact surface of the heat-conducting diaphragm 24 contacting the temperature measurement target for heat conduction can be buffered, and at the same time, an eccentric stroke of frictional sliding of heat contact conduction is provided, which further reduces the interference caused by heat conduction of the temperature detection device, and further reduces the degree of interaction between the temperature detection device and the temperature measurement target system;

[0057] At the same time, the relative eccentric sliding between the heat-conducting diaphragm 24 and the transfer cover 35 can provide a sliding stroke for the heat conduction contact position to deviate from the rotation center of the temperature measuring sealing cylinder 10 and the temperature sensor 17 when the temperature measuring sealing cylinder 10 drives the sensing positioning cylinder 14 and the temperature sensor 17 to follow the rotation of the vacuum coating workpiece rack of the temperature detection target in the vacuum chamber, thereby reducing the rigid connection impact of the heat conduction docking, blocking the possibility of temperature detection mutual interference due to the inertial transfer of the temperature conduction connection, improving the accuracy of the decomposition of the interactive state between the temperature detection device and the temperature measurement target system, and improving the accuracy of the heat state judgment of the closed space temperature conduction detection;

[0058] At the same time, the heat loss of the temperature sensing part during the conduction process is reduced, the approximation of the temperature measured in the closed space is further reduced, and the accuracy of the heat benchmark for temperature detection conduction in the closed space is improved.

[0059] Refer to the attached Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 As shown, the transfer cover 35 is slidably connected to the heat-conducting diaphragm 24 on the end surface located in the vacuum chamber, and the heat-conducting diaphragm 24 seals the transfer channel 36. The transfer cover 35 is provided with a first electrode 39 on the contact surface that slides axially in the transfer mounting cover 23. The mating surfaces of the transfer mounting cover 23 and the transfer cover 35 are provided with a second electrode 40, and the second electrode 40 and the first electrode 39 cooperate with each other.

[0060] A first electrode 39, a second electrode 40 and a conductive spring 25 are arranged on the relative sliding stroke of the transfer mounting cover 23 and the transfer cover 35. Before the heat conduction contact of the temperature detection, the conductive spring 25 and the thermal conductive film 24 are subjected to the air pressure of the temperature detection space according to the sealed state of the stroke between the thermal conductive film 24, the transfer cover 35 and the positioning packaging flange 21. The air pressure strength of the space to be temperature detected can be detected according to the circuit path characteristics between the second electrode 40 and the first electrode 39, or a pressure sensor is arranged in the sealed environment between the transfer cover 35 and the positioning packaging flange 21 to detect the air pressure of the temperature detection space. The temperature of the space is affected by multiple parameters such as environmental humidity and pressure.

[0061] At the same time, during the heat conduction docking process of temperature detection, the contact pressure of heat conduction between the thermal conductive diaphragm 24 and the temperature detection area can be assisted in judging according to the pressure changes detected by the second electrode 40 and the first electrode 39, which can improve the control accuracy of the decomposition and change of the interactive state between the temperature measuring device and the temperature measurement target system, and at the same time reduce the approximation of the temperature detection result obtained by heat conduction, reduce the ambiguity of the state of heat conduction in temperature detection, and analyze the information of the state of the influence of air pressure on temperature, so as to correct the approximate range of temperature detection and verify the state of heat conduction in temperature detection, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature detection in closed spaces.

[0062] The above description is only an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes made by a person skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principle of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
