The clamping assembly 54 includes two clamping blocks 541 slidably connected in the first connecting groove 513 and used to clamp the peripheral side of the tool, a lifting sleeve 542 lifted and arranged in the first annular groove 512, and a linkage structure 543 arranged between the lifting sleeve 542 and the clamping blocks 541 and driving the two clamping blocks 541 to move towards each other during the upward movement of the lifting sleeve 542. An annular rubber sealing ring 516 is provided at the bottom of the tray 51; in the process of the tray 51 moving downward along the guide assembly 53 until the tray 51 is separated from the guide assembly 53, the lifting sleeve 542 moves upward under the upward force of the furnace cover 3, so as to drive the two clamping blocks 541 to move towards each other through the linkage structure 543 to achieve clamping, and the annular rubber sealing ring 516 is finally pressed between the tray 51 and the furnace cover 3. The linkage structure 543 includes a wedge-shaped block 5431 arranged at the end of the clamping block 541 away from the plug-in slot 4321, and a wedge-shaped slot 5432 arranged on the inner circle of the lifting sleeve 542 and for the wedge-shaped block 5431 to be embedded in. During the upward movement of the lifting sleeve 542, the wedge-shaped slot 5432 drives the wedge-shaped block 5431 to move toward the direction close to the plug-in slot 4321.

[0085] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the guide assembly 53 includes two guide frames 531 arranged on both sides of the extension frame 41, and guide blocks 532 arranged on both sides of the tray 51. The guide frame 531 includes a straight guide section 5311, and an inclined guide section 5312 whose one end is connected to the straight guide section 5311 and the other end is inclined and extends downward toward the direction close to the furnace body 2. The guide blocks 532 on both sides of the tray 51 are placed on the two guide frames 531 during the movement toward the direction away from the furnace body 2. When the tray 51 is on the straight guide section 5311, the clamping assembly 54 releases the clamping.

[0086] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a countersunk hole 517 communicating with the bottom of the plug hole 511 is provided at the bottom of the tray 51 corresponding to the plug hole 511, and a height adjustment screw 518 for abutting against the lower end of the tool base is threadedly connected at the countersunk hole 517.

[0087] Implementation effect: First, in the matrix pretreatment process A, A1 can completely remove the oil stains on the surface of the tool matrix, A2 can corrode the tungsten carbide grains to completely expose the binder Co, A3 can etch the Co element on the surface, and A4 can form defects on the surface of the tool matrix. These defects are favorable positions for the nucleation of diamonds, thereby increasing the density of diamond nucleation in the later stage. At the same time, the diamond powder attached to the surface of the tool matrix can be directly used as the crystal nucleus of diamond nucleation. A5 can clean the surface of the tool matrix after pre-nucleation treatment to remove residual impurities on the surface and diamond powder that is not embedded. Secondly, in the furnace loading process B, the tool matrix is ​​fixed on the clamping mechanism 5, the walking mechanism 42 drives the furnace cover 3 to move to the bottom of the furnace body 2, and the lifting mechanism 43 drives the furnace cover 3 to move upward and close with the furnace body 2, so that the tool matrix is ​​loaded into the chemical vapor deposition furnace. Otherwise, the diamond coated tool after coating deposition is removed, which ultimately has the effect of improving the production efficiency of coating deposition.

[0088] The driving gear 423 is driven to rotate by the travel motor 422, and the driving gear 423 changes the position of meshing with the driving rack 424, thereby driving the movable plate 421 and the furnace cover 3 to move horizontally; in the process of the travel mechanism 42 driving the furnace cover 3 to move, the furnace cover 3 is moved to a position directly below the furnace body 2, and the plug-in parts 32 on both sides of the furnace cover 3 are plugged into the plug-in grooves 4321 of the lifting frame 432 of the lifting mechanism 43, and then the furnace cover 3 is driven to move upward through the oil cylinder 431, and then the furnace cover 3 is driven to move upward and is closed with the furnace body 2.

[0089] After the walking mechanism 42 drives the furnace cover 3 to move away from the furnace body 2, it is convenient to disassemble the tool base. At this time, after the part of the tool base that does not need to deposit the coating is inserted into the plug-in hole 511 after passing through the flexible isolation sleeve 52, the setting of the guide component 53 enables the furnace cover 3 to rise during the movement in the direction away from the furnace body 2, and the clamping component 54 gradually releases the clamping of the tool base. At this time, it is convenient to remove the processed diamond-coated tool and to install the unprocessed tool base. At the same time, when the tray 51 is separated from the guide component 53, the clamping component 54 automatically clamps the tool base, which is convenient to use. In addition, the setting of the flexible isolation sleeve 52 can cover and protect the part of the tool base that does not need to deposit the coating.

[0090] When the tray 51 moves downward along the guide assembly 53 until the tray 51 separates from the guide assembly 53, the lifting sleeve 542 moves upward under the upward force of the furnace cover 3, so as to drive the two clamping blocks 541 to move toward each other through the linkage structure 543 to achieve clamping; at the same time, when the guide assembly 53 drives the tray 51 to move upward, the lifting sleeve 542 moves downward under the action of gravity to automatically release the clamping of the diamond coated tool. The linkage structure 543 includes a wedge block 5431 arranged at the end of the clamping block 541 away from the plug-in slot 4321, and a wedge groove 5432 arranged on the inner circle of the lifting sleeve 542 and for the wedge block 5431 to be embedded. When the lifting sleeve 542 moves upward, the wedge groove 5432 drives the wedge block 5431 to move toward the plug-in slot 4321, thereby driving the two clamping blocks 541 to approach each other to achieve clamping of the tool base.

[0091] Embodiment 2: A method for producing a coated tool, comprising: Figures 2 to 5 Based on Figure 6 , Figure 7 , which is different from Example 1 in that the structure of the clamping assembly 54 in the chemical vapor deposition furnace is different, a second annular groove 514 is provided in the middle of the plug-in hole 511, and a second connecting groove 515 connected to the bottom of the second annular groove 514 is provided at the bottom of the tray 51. The clamping assembly 54 includes a plurality of annular air bags 544 respectively arranged in the plurality of second annular grooves 514, a pressing air bag 545 arranged on the lower surface of the tray 51, and a plurality of connecting air pipes 546 arranged between the pressing air bag 545 and the annular air bag 544 and passing through the second connecting groove 515. When the tray 51 moves downward along the guide assembly 53 until the tray 51 is separated from the guide assembly 53, the pressing air bag 545 is pressurized so that the annular air bag 544 is inflated and clamping is achieved.

[0092] Implementation effect: When the tray 51 moves downward along the guide assembly 53 until the tray 51 is separated from the guide assembly 53, the pressing airbag 545 is pressurized so that the annular airbag 544 is inflated and clamped, which facilitates the realization or release of clamping.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed.
