Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing composite copper foils for vacuum evaporation base films, and particularly to an apparatus and method for manufacturing composite copper foils for vacuum evaporation base films. Background Art
[0002] As an important material for flexible circuit boards, composite copper foils can be widely used in circuit connections of products such as mobile phones, tablets, and intelligent devices. It consists of a base film, a conductive layer, and a composite layer. Since the base film itself is insulating, before manufacturing the composite layer, a conductive layer needs to be attached to the surface of the base film. Existing technologies mostly achieve this step through a vacuum evaporation base film process in which copper material is heated to a high temperature, evaporated, and then condensed on the base film to form an initial conductive metal thin film layer. Subsequently, through an electroplating process, the copper layer is combined with the initial conductive layer on the base film to manufacture the composite copper foil.
[0003] Although the manufacturing process of composite copper foils for vacuum evaporation base films has shown good performance in many applications, current technologies still have some drawbacks and challenges, mainly including the following points:
[0004] 1. Unstable adhesion
[0005] During the vacuum evaporation process, the adhesion between the initial conductive layer and the base film is affected by multiple factors, such as evaporation conditions (temperature, pressure, etc.), the cleanliness of the base film surface, and the treatment process. This unstable adhesion may cause the separation between the copper layer and the base film during subsequent processing or use, affecting the performance of electronic devices, especially under high-temperature or high-frequency working conditions.
[0006] 2. Poor uniformity of the copper layer
[0007] When electroplating the composite layer on a large-area conductive layer, the production scale is large, and the precision requirements for process control are high. The copper layer is prone to local over-thickness or under-thickness. The non-uniformity of the copper layer thickness will lead to unstable electrical properties, affecting the performance of the composite copper foil in high-frequency or high-current applications, and may even cause local overheating or a decline in electrical performance.
[0008] 3. Thermal stability problem of the base film
[0009] The base film materials of composite copper foils (such as polyimide films, polyester films, etc.) have poor stability at high temperatures, and will deform, shrink, or have a decline in performance during the high-temperature evaporation process, resulting in a decrease in the adhesion between the conductive layer and the composite layer and the base film. In severe cases, the copper layer may even separate from the base film, affecting the quality of the final composite copper foil. Summary of the Invention
[0010] In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a device and method for manufacturing a composite copper foil for a vacuum evaporation base film, which is used to solve the problems of unstable adhesion between the initial conductive layer and the base film, poor uniformity of the electroplated composite copper layer, and poor thermal stability of the base film during the manufacturing of the composite copper foil for the vacuum evaporation base film in the prior art.

The air ducts are fixedly connected to the air knives.
[0027] The present invention also includes a method for manufacturing a composite copper foil by vacuum-evaporating a base film, specifically including the following steps:
[0028] Step 1: Before processing the composite conductive layer on the film cloth, first let the film cloth pass through the hot pressing and shaping section. The water-bearing film cloth after the previous cleaning treatment passes through between the lower hot pressing plate for the whole film and the upper hot pressing plate for the whole film. The auxiliary film feeding rollers on the upper wall of the left part of the lower hot pressing plate for the whole film and the auxiliary film feeding rollers on the upper wall of the right part of the upper hot pressing plate for the whole film apply frictional force to the film cloth to convey the film cloth. Then the film cloth passes through the contact surface between the lower hot pressing plate for the whole film and the upper hot pressing plate for the whole film and is hot pressed by the whole film. The base film is hot pressed and flattened. Finally, the film cloth passes through the lower hot pressing plate for the film edge and the upper hot pressing plate for the film edge, and the film edge is further flattened. The film middle conveying roller, the left upper auxiliary film feeding roller of the lower hot pressing plate for the film edge and the right lower auxiliary film feeding roller of the upper hot pressing plate for the film edge stably convey the film cloth during the hot pressing process.
[0029] Step 2: After the film cloth completes the hot pressing and shaping of the base film in the hot pressing and shaping section, it continues to move horizontally to the right and enters the activated conductive layer section. The upper activated spray pipe and the lower activated spray pipe of the activated conductive layer section spray liquid onto the upper and lower surfaces of the film cloth. The spraying time is 30 - 70 s. The space composed of the mounting frame, the vertical partition board and the tank body soaks the film cloth to remove the oxide layer and activate the initial conductive layer. The soaking temperature of the activated conductive layer section is 45 degrees Celsius.
[0030] Step 3: Then the film cloth enters the conductive section. The power device of the wire body supplies energy to the sprocket to drive the power shaft to rotate. Using the meshing transmission between the gears, the main transmission shaft is linked to drive the conveying roller group and the water blocking roller group to convey the film cloth from left to right. The film cloth passes through between two pairs of conductive rollers and becomes the cathode with a negative charge on the surface. The upper vertical single spray pipe and the lower inclined double spray pipe of the conductive liquid spray pipe group spray electroplating copper liquid onto the conductive rollers during this process. The four conductive rollers are in the shape of an inverted isosceles trapezoid to reduce the vertical height of the conductive rollers. The two groups of water blocking roller groups block water and accumulate liquid to increase the liquid level height of the electroplating copper liquid, so that the electroplating copper liquid completely soaks the two pairs of conductive rollers.
[0031] Step 4: The rear membrane enters the copper tank section. The upper and lower jet pipes are used for jet flow, and the vertical segmented partition plates are used for limiting and blocking the flow, ensuring the soaking height of the electroplated copper solution in the copper tank section. A heating device is supplemented to ensure that the treatment temperature in the copper tank section is maintained at 22-25 °C. The membrane passes through the sunshade assembly. During this process, the liquid supply circulation pipe transports the electroplated copper solution from the middle of the jet pipe group to both ends, so that the jet branch pipes pass through the anode iridium plate and evenly supply liquid to the upper and lower walls of the membrane. The anode iridium plate is an overall grid plate, and two rectangular hollow slots are opened at its lower part and are correspondingly inlaid with the jet ports of the jet branch pipes. The first-stage sliding positioning plate and the second-stage sliding support legs of the sunshade assembly can both slide back and forth to adjust the front and back positions of the anode sunshade plate, thereby adjusting the sunshade area;
[0032] Step 5: After passing through the composite conductive layer coating section where two conductive sections are arranged at intervals with the copper tank section, the membrane continues to move to the right and enters the curing composite layer section, passing through between the upper and lower air knives.
[0033] As described above, the composite copper foil manufacturing device for the vacuum evaporation base film of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0034] 1. By setting a hot pressing and shaping section at the left end of the upper tank, on the one hand, the deformed base film in the vacuum evaporation is shaped to ensure the adhesion effect of the subsequent composite conductive layer and the membrane, and on the other hand, the bonding force between the initial conductive layer and the base film is increased, ensuring the performance of the subsequent processed or used electronic equipment;
[0035] 2. By setting an activation conductive layer section, the oxide layer is removed before plating the composite conductive layer, increasing the friction of the initial conductive layer;
[0036] 3. In the conductive section, four conductive rollers in the shape of inverted isosceles trapezoids are used to reduce the height of the conductive rollers. Through the linkage of the linkage gear group and the connecting shaft, the two relatively upper and lower conductive rollers rotate steadily towards each other, transporting the membrane from left to right. The combination of the liquid level control of the liquid level switch and the auxiliary water blocking and liquid accumulation functions of the two groups of water blocking roller groups can completely immerse the two pairs of conductive rollers in the electroplated copper solution, preventing the conductive rollers from being plated and scratching the membrane, resulting in a good surface charging effect of the membrane and a good copper plating effect;
[0037] 4. In the copper tank section, the jet pipe group is used to evenly jet the flow rate, the rotating support seat adjusts the jet angle, the anode iridium plate reduces the current density, enabling the anode current to be evenly output, improving the stability of the anode performance. The sunshade assembly flexibly adjusts the sunshade area to meet the sunshade requirements of different wide-width membrane cloths. The vertical segmented partition plates limit and block the flow, ensuring the soaking height of the electroplated copper solution in the copper tank section. A heating device is supplemented to accurately control the processing precision of each process of the electroplated composite layer, ensuring the copper layer thickness and uniformity of the electroplated composite layer, making the electrical performance of the finished composite copper foil stable, with good performance in high-frequency or high-current applications and high safety;
[0038] 5. By setting a curing composite layer section at the right end of the upper tank and utilizing the principle of first heating and then cooling, and thermal expansion and contraction, the adhesion between the conductive layer, the composite layer and the base film is improved, and the copper layer of the cured composite copper foil is ensured, guaranteeing the quality of the composite copper foil.
[0039] 6. The method for manufacturing a composite copper foil by vacuum evaporating the base film further refines the precision of production process control, has very practical and realistic significance for the improvement of the current composite copper foil manufacturing technology, and is convenient for the popularization of the composite copper foil processing technology.

[0074] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and be able to implement it, but the exemplified embodiments shall not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0075] As in the background art, during the vacuum evaporation process, the adhesion between the initial conductive layer and the base film is affected by multiple factors, such as evaporation conditions (temperature, pressure, etc.), the cleanliness of the base film surface, and the treatment process. This unstable adhesion will cause the separation between the copper layer and the base film during subsequent processing or use, affecting the performance of electronic devices.
[0076] Moreover, when electroplating a composite layer on a large-area conductive layer, with a large production scale and high precision requirements for process control, the copper layer is prone to local over-thickness or under-thickness. The non-uniformity of the copper layer thickness will lead to unstable electrical performance, affecting the performance of the composite copper foil in high-frequency or high-current applications, and may even cause local overheating or a decline in electrical performance.
[0077] Finally, the base film material of the composite copper foil has poor stability at high temperatures, and will deform, shrink or its performance will decline during the high-temperature evaporation process, resulting in a decrease in the adhesion between the conductive layer and the composite layer and the base film. In severe cases, the copper layer may even separate from the base film, affecting the quality of the final composite copper foil.
[0078] As Figure 1 and Figure 22 shown, to solve the above problems, the inventor sets a hot pressing and shaping section 201 in the pretreatment section of electroplating the composite conductive copper layer. By using water vapor and hot pressing, during the horizontal movement of the composite copper foil, the curling and slight wrinkles of the vacuum-evaporated base film caused by temperature during the production process can be corrected. By setting an activated conductive layer section 202, a conductive section 203 and a copper tank section 204, before electroplating the composite conductive layer, the initial conductive layer oxidized due to contact with air during transmission is activated, improving the electroplating copper quality of the subsequent conductive section 203 and copper tank section 204. By setting a curing composite layer section 205, the principle of thermal expansion and contraction can be used to increase the connection tightness between the upper and lower composite conductive layers, the upper and lower initial conductive layers and the base film. Therefore, a device for manufacturing a composite copper foil with a vacuum-evaporated base film is invented, including:
[0079] A frame 1, on the top of the frame 1, a conductive box assembly 4 is installed. Below the conductive box assembly 4, an upper tank 2 and a lower tank 3 are provided, and both the upper tank 2 and the lower tank 3 are installed on the frame 1. The conductive box assembly 4 is electrically connected to the upper tank 2. The upper tank 2 and the lower tank 3 are fixed, and a liquid flow circulation is carried out between the upper tank 2 and the lower tank 3 through a pipeline.
[0080] The upper tank 2 is sequentially provided with a hot pressing and shaping section 201, an activated conductive layer section 202, two groups of conductive sections 203, a copper tank section 204, and a curing composite layer section 205 from left to right. The hot pressing and shaping section 201, the activated conductive layer section 202, the two groups of conductive sections 203, the copper tank section 204, and the curing composite layer section 205 are horizontally connected. Inside the front part of the upper tank 2, a driven transmission roller assembly 206 is installed, and the driven transmission roller assembly 206 provides power for the horizontal transmission of the film cloth in each processing section. Inside the upper tank 2, a segmented isolation assembly 207 is provided, and the segmented isolation assembly 207 is used to separate the processing sections into different processing spaces.
[0081] Among them, the hot pressing and shaping section 201 is used to utilize the water vapor in the pretreatment section and adopt hot pressing to correct the curling and slight wrinkles of the vacuum-evaporated base film caused by temperature during the horizontal movement of the composite copper foil.
[0082] Among them, the activated conductive layer section 202 is used to activate the initial conductive layer oxidized due to contact with air during transmission, ensuring the composite effect of the subsequent conductive layer;
[0083] Among them, the conductive section 203 is used to attach negative electricity to the base film;
[0084] Among them, the copper tank section 204 is used to electroplate a composite conductive copper layer on the base film using the electrolysis principle;

The conveyor roller group 2063 is used to convey the film cloth from left to right. The water retaining roller group 2064 is used to increase the liquid level height of the treatment liquid between the two water retaining roller groups 2064 while conveying the film cloth, so that the film cloth can be soaked to ensure the coating processing effect;

The conveyor roller group 2063 and the water retaining roller group 2064 are both installed between the front and rear mounting frames 2071. A vertical segmented partition 2072 is fixed between the middle parts of the mounting frames 2071 of the hot pressing and shaping section 201, which can isolate the left full film shaping section and the right film edge shaping section of the hot pressing and shaping section 201, preventing the mutual flow of water vapor and hot air;

In this way, on the one hand, the deformed base film in vacuum evaporation is shaped to ensure the adhesion effect of the subsequent composite conductive layer and the film cloth.

The space formed by the mounting frame 2071, the vertical partition board 2072, and the tank body can block liquid, accumulate liquid, and soak the membrane cloth. By combining the two methods of spraying and soaking, the activation treatment liquid can fully react with the oxide layer and the initial conductive layer on the surface of the membrane cloth, remove the oxide layer, and increase the friction force of the initial conductive layer, ensuring the bonding effect between the subsequent composite conductive layer and the initial conductive layer.

The liquid level switch 2075 of the conductive segment 203 can monitor the liquid level height of the conductive segment 203 in real time and control the spraying flow rate of the conductive segment 203, so that the electroplating copper solution can always completely immerse the two pairs of conductive rollers 2034 and the membrane cloth, preventing the conductive rollers 2034 from being plated and ensuring the conductive coating effect of the conductive rollers 2034. The photoelectric sensor 2074 slides back and forth on the sliding bracket 2073, and can detect the coating thickness and uniformity of each part of the membrane cloth after passing through the conductive segment 203, so as to adjust the subsequent coating processing degree in time and ensure the coating processing quality.
[0094] Among them, as Figures 12 - 16As shown in the figure, the conductive section 203 includes a cathode main copper bar 2031, a rotating conductive silver ring 2032, a connecting shaft 2033, a conductive roller 2034, a power shaft 2035, a sprocket 2036, a linkage gear set 2037, a linkage helical gear set 2038, and a conductive liquid spray pipe set 2039. The upper part of the rear wall of the upper tank 2 is fixed with a cathode main copper bar 2031. The cathode main copper bar 2031 is fixed to the cathode connecting copper bar 403 by screws. The cathode main copper bar 2031 is electrically connected to the rotating conductive silver ring 2032 through a connector. A connecting shaft 2033 is rotatably arranged in the middle of each of the four rotating conductive silver rings 2032. A conductive roller 2034 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the middle of the connecting shaft 2033. The rectifier cabinet 401 can supply power to the conductive roller 2034 through the cathode connecting copper bar 403, the cathode main copper bar 2031, and the rotating conductive silver ring 2032. When the membrane passes through the two pairs of conductive rollers 2034, it can become a cathode and carry a negative charge on its surface.

When the membrane passes, the upper vertical single spray pipe 2039a and the lower inclined double spray pipe 2039b of the conductive liquid spray pipe set 2039 spray electroplating copper liquid onto the conductive rollers 2034. The four conductive rollers 2034 are in the shape of an inverted isosceles trapezoid, which reduces the height of the conductive rollers 2034. The upper vertical single spray pipe 2039a is arranged in the middle directly above the conductive rollers 2034, and the lower inclined double spray pipe 2039b is inclined and arranged on the left and right below the conductive rollers 2034. Under the liquid level control of the liquid level switch 2075 and the auxiliary water retaining and liquid accumulation functions of the two groups of water retaining roller sets 2064, the electroplating copper liquid can completely immerse the two pairs of conductive rollers 2034, so that the charging effect on the surface of the membrane is good.
[0095] Among them, as Figures 12 - 21As shown in the figure, the copper tank section 204 includes an anode copper bar mounting seat 2041, an anode connection plate 2042, a rotating support seat 2043, a jet pipe group 2044, a liquid supply circulation pipe 2045, an anode rod 2046, an anode iridium plate 2047, and a sunshade assembly 2048. The anode copper bar mounting seat 2041 is fixed inside the rear wall of the upper tank 2. The upper and lower ends of the rear end of the anode copper bar mounting seat 2041 are fixed to the anode connection copper bar 404. The front end of the anode copper bar mounting seat 2041 is fixed with an anode connection plate 2042 through a connecting piece. The rectifier cabinet 401 supplies power to the anode iridium plate 2047 through the anode connection copper bar 404, the anode copper bar mounting seat 2041, the anode connection plate 2042, and the anode rod 2046. The anode iridium plate 2047 is an overall grid plate, and two rectangular hollow slots are opened in its lower part corresponding to the jet ports of the jet branch pipes for inlaid setting, which can reduce the current density, make the anode current output evenly, and thus improve the stability of the anode performance. The anode connection plate 2042 includes an upper anode connection plate 2042a and a lower anode connection plate 2042b. The rotating support seat 2043 is installed inside the rear wall of the upper tank 2. The jet pipe group 2044 is installed between the lower parts of the two rotating support seats 2043 and on the lower anode connection plate 2042b. The rotating support seat 2043 can adjust the jet angle of the upper jet pipe group 2044 according to the coating thickness on the surface of the membrane cloth. The jet pipe group 2044 includes two horizontally arranged jet main pipes and eight jet branch pipes vertically arranged between the two jet main pipes. The jet ports of the jet branch pipes of the upper jet pipe group 2044 and the lower jet pipe group 2044 are arranged oppositely. The liquid supply circulation pipes 2045 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper jet pipe group 2044 and the lower jet pipe group 2044. The jet pipe group 2044 is provided with an anode rod 2046 on the outside. The anode rod 2046 includes an upper anode rod 2046a and a lower anode rod 2046b. The upper anode rod 2046a is horizontally arranged at the front end of the upper anode connection plate 2042a, and the lower anode rod 2046b is horizontally arranged at the front end of the lower anode connection plate 2042b. Four anode iridium plates 2047 are equidistantly fixed on the anode rod 2046, and two square slots are vertically opened on each anode iridium plate 2047, and the positions of the square slots correspond to the jet ports of the jet branch pipes. The liquid supply circulation pipe 2045 is arranged in the middle of the jet pipe group 2044, so that when the liquid supply circulation pipe 2045 supplies liquid to the jet branch pipes of the jet pipe group 2044, the liquid flow of the electroplating copper solution received by each jet branch pipe is uniform, and the jet branch pipes can pass through the anode iridium plate 2047 to supply liquid to the upper and lower walls of the membrane cloth evenly. Four pairs of sunshade assemblies 2048 are equidistantly arranged between the jet main pipes of the upper jet pipe group 2044 and the lower jet pipe group 2044. The sunshade assembly 2048 includes a first-stage positioning slide pin 2048a, a first-stage sliding positioning plate 2048b, a second-stage sliding support leg 2048c, and an anode sunshade plate 2048d. The first-stage positioning slide pin 2048a is fixed on the outer wall of the jet main pipe of the lower jet pipe group 2044, and the upper part of the first-stage positioning slide pin 2048a is slidably sleeved with the first-stage sliding positioning plate 2048b,On the upper wall of the first - stage sliding positioning plate 2048b, the second - stage sliding support legs 2048c are slidably installed left and right. An anodic sunshade plate 2048d is fixedly sleeved on the two second - stage sliding support legs 2048c. Both the first - stage sliding positioning plate 2048b and the second - stage sliding support legs 2048c of the sunshade assembly 2048 can slide back and forth to adjust the front - rear position of the anodic sunshade plate 2048d, thereby adjusting the sunshade area, meeting the sunshade requirements of different - width - sized film fabrics, and ensuring the copper - plating effect of the composite conductive layer of the film fabric.
[0096] Thus, before plating the composite conductive layer, the activation conductive layer segment 202 removes the oxide layer to increase the friction of the initial conductive layer. In the conductive segment 203, through four conductive rollers 2034 in the shape of inverted isosceles trapezoids, the height of the conductive rollers 2034 is reduced, and through the linkage of the linkage gear set 2037 and the connecting shaft 2033, the two relatively - upper - and - lower conductive rollers 2034 rotate steadily towards each other, conveying the film fabric from left to right. The combination of the liquid - level control of the liquid - level switch 2075 and the auxiliary water - retaining and liquid - accumulating functions of the two groups of water - retaining roller sets 2064 enables the electroplating copper solution to completely immerse the two pairs of conductive rollers 2034, preventing the conductive rollers 2034 from being plated and scratching the film fabric, resulting in a good surface - charging effect of the film fabric and a good copper - plating effect. In the copper - tank segment 204, the spray - flow tube group 2044 is used to evenly spray the flow rate, the rotating support base 2043 adjusts the spray - flow angle, and the anodic iridium plate 2047 reduces the current density to make the anodic current output evenly, improving the stability of the anodic performance. The sunshade assembly 2048 flexibly adjusts the sunshade area to meet the sunshade requirements of different - width - sized film fabrics. The vertical segmented partition 2072 limits the flow and ensures the liquid - accumulating immersion height of the electroplating copper solution in the copper - tank segment 204. With the assistance of a heating device, the processing precision of each process of the electroplated composite layer is accurately controlled, ensuring the copper - layer thickness and uniformity of the electroplated composite layer, making the finished composite copper foil have stable electrical properties, good performance in high - frequency or high - current applications, and high safety.
[0097] Example 3
[0098] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 、 Figure 9 and Figure 22, the present invention provides a device for manufacturing a composite copper foil for vacuum evaporation coating on a base film, further comprising: a curing composite layer section 205, the curing composite layer section 205 includes a limit clamping rail 2051, a sliding clamping seat 2052, an air knife 2053 and an air delivery pipe 2054. On the inner sides of the front mounting frame 2071 and the rear mounting frame 2071 of the curing composite layer section 205, ten pairs of limit clamping rails 2051 are correspondingly arranged up and down. A sliding clamping seat 2052 is installed in the limit clamping rail 2051. An air knife 2053 is fixedly installed between the vertically corresponding sliding clamping seats 2052 at the front and the rear. The air knife 2053 is fixedly connected to the air delivery pipe 2054. After the film cloth enters the curing composite layer section 205, it passes through between the upper and lower air knives 2053. During this process, under the action of the hot air of the first five pairs of air knives 2053, the upper and lower composite conductive layers, the upper and lower initial conductive layers and the base film are heated and swollen, and then under the action of the cold air of the last five pairs of air knives 2053, the upper and lower composite conductive layers, the upper and lower initial conductive layers and the base film are cooled and tightened, so that the connection between the two conductive layers and the base film is tightened. The sliding clamping seat 2052 slides in the limit clamping rail 2051, which can control the distance between the air knife 2053 and the film cloth, thereby controlling the bonding effect between the copper layer and the base film. In this way, the adhesion of the conductive layer and the composite layer to the base film is improved, the copper layer of the cured composite copper foil is cured, and the quality of the composite copper foil is ensured.
[0099] Example 4
[0100] Please refer to Figures 1 - 22 , the present invention also includes a method for manufacturing a composite copper foil for vacuum evaporation coating on a base film, specifically the following steps:
[0101] Step 1: Before processing the composite conductive layer on the film cloth, vacuum evaporation coating is required to attach an initial conductive layer to the originally insulating base film. However, the temperature during the vacuum evaporation coating process will cause wrinkles, curling and deformation of the base film, affecting the bonding force between the subsequent composite conductive layer and the initial conductive layer. Therefore, before processing the composite conductive layer, first let the film cloth pass through the hot pressing and shaping section 201, so that the water-bearing film cloth after the previous cleaning treatment passes through between the whole film lower hot pressing plate 2011 and the whole film upper hot pressing plate 2012. The auxiliary film feeding rollers 2013 on the upper wall of the left part of the whole film lower hot pressing plate 2011 and the auxiliary film feeding rollers 2013 on the upper wall of the right part of the whole film upper hot pressing plate 2012 can apply frictional force to the film cloth to convey the film cloth, preventing the film cloth from being stuck and overly stretched after thermal deformation when passing through the contact surface of the whole film lower hot pressing plate 2011 and the whole film upper hot pressing plate 2012, so that the whole film base film has the effect of being flattened by hot pressing. Then the film cloth passes through between the film edge lower hot pressing plate 2014 and the film edge upper hot pressing plate 2015, and the film edge is further flattened. The film middle conveying roller 2016, the auxiliary film feeding rollers 2013 on the upper left part of the film edge lower hot pressing plate 2014 and the auxiliary film feeding rollers 2013 on the lower right part of the film edge upper hot pressing plate 2015 can ensure the stable conveyance of the film cloth during the hot pressing process;
[0102] Step 2: During the pretreatment of the initial conductive layer of the membrane cloth when it is being conveyed and compounded with the conductive layer, oxidation occurs on the side in contact with air. It is difficult to attach the compound conductive layer to the oxidation layer. Therefore, before processing the compound conductive layer, it is necessary to remove the oxidation layer and activate the initial conductive layer to ensure the bonding force between the subsequent initial conductive layer and the compound conductive layer. After the base film is hot-pressed and shaped in the hot-press shaping section 201 of the membrane cloth, it continues to move horizontally to the right and enters the activated conductive layer section 202. In the activated conductive layer section 202, the upper activation spray nozzle 2021a and the lower activation spray nozzle 2021b are used to spray a jet flow onto the upper and lower surfaces of the membrane cloth and immerse it in the space composed of the mounting frame 2071, the vertical segmented partition 2072, and the tank body to remove the oxidation layer and activate the initial conductive layer. The activation treatment liquid sprayed by the pair of activation treatment liquid spray pipe groups 2021 on the left is a mixed liquid of deionized water, hydrochloric acid solution, and palladium salt, and the activation treatment liquid sprayed by the pair of activation treatment liquid spray pipe groups 2021 on the right is a mixed liquid of deionized water, dilute hydrochloric acid, and palladium dichloride. The jet flow time is 30 - 70 s, and the immersion temperature in the activated conductive layer section 202 is 45 degrees Celsius;
[0103] Step 3: The rear membrane enters the conductive section 203. The power device of the wire body supplies energy to the sprocket 2036, driving the power shaft 2035 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission between gears, the main transmission shaft 2062 is linked, driving the conveyor roller group 2063 and the water-blocking roller group 2064 to convey the membrane from left to right, enabling the membrane to pass through the two pairs of conductive rollers 2034 and become the cathode, with a negative charge on its surface. The upper vertical single nozzle 2039a and the lower inclined double nozzle 2039b of the conductive liquid spray pipe group 2039 spray electroplating copper solution onto the conductive rollers 2034 during this process. The four conductive rollers 2034 are in the shape of an inverted isosceles trapezoid, reducing the height of the conductive rollers 2034. The upper vertical single nozzle 2039a is arranged in the middle directly above the conductive roller 2034, and the lower inclined double nozzle 2039b is inclined and arranged on the left and right below the conductive roller 2034. Under the water-blocking and liquid-accumulating effect of the two groups of water-blocking roller groups 2064, the electroplating copper solution can completely immerse the two pairs of conductive rollers 2034. The electroplating copper solution includes copper sulfate, sulfuric acid, chloride ions, inhibitor, carrier, brightener, and grain refiner. The inhibitor combines with chloride ions to form a complex with copper ions, increasing the overvoltage of copper ion reduction on the cathode surface and inhibiting the copper deposition rate. The carrier is a long-chain polymer of polyethers, such as polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer, polytetrahydrofuran, or polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymer. It forms a complex with copper ions and, under the action of an electric field, carriers copper ions to migrate to the cathode surface and adsorb on the high-potential area of the initial conductive layer surface of the membrane to form a resistance layer, improving the uniformity of the composite conductive layer on the membrane surface. Chloride and nickel salt are used as grain refiners, serving as the crystal seeds for copper ions to deposit on the cathode surface. While reducing the activation energy during copper ion reduction, it can increase the copper deposition rate. Quinoline, ethylenediamine, and boric acid are used as brighteners, which can assist in the formation of new crystal nuclei, making the grains of copper deposition fine and increasing the coating gloss of the composite conductive layer;
[0104] Step 4: The rear membrane enters the copper tank section 204, and the spray pipe group 2044 sprays fluid up and down. The vertical segmented partition plate 2072 limits and blocks the flow to ensure the immersion height of the electroplating copper solution in the copper tank section 204. With the assistance of a heating device, the processing temperature in the copper tank section 204 is maintained at 22 - 25 °C. The membrane passes through the sunshade assembly 2048. During this process, the liquid supply circulation pipe 2045 transports the electroplating copper solution from the middle of the spray pipe group 2044 to both ends, enabling the spray branch pipes to pass through the anode iridium plate 2047 and evenly supply the liquid to the upper and lower walls of the membrane. The anode iridium plate 2047 is an overall grid plate, and two rectangular hollow slots are opened at its lower part and are correspondingly inlaid with the spray ports of the spray branch pipes, which can reduce the current density, enable the uniform output of the anode current, and further improve the stability of the anode performance. The rotating support base 2043 can adjust the spray angle of the upper spray pipe group 2044. The first-stage sliding positioning plate 2048b and the second-stage sliding support leg 2048c of the sunshade assembly 2048 can both slide back and forth to adjust the front and back positions of the anode sunshade plate 2048d, thereby adjusting the sunshade area and ensuring the copper plating effect of the composite conductive layer of the membrane.
[0105] Step 5: After passing through the composite conductive layer film covering section where two conductive sections 203 and the copper tank section 204 are arranged at intervals, the membrane continues to move rightward and enters the curing composite layer section 205, passing through between the upper and lower air knives 2053. During this process, the membrane is first heated and expanded between the upper and lower composite conductive layers, the upper and lower initial conductive layers and the base film under the action of the hot air of the first five pairs of air knives 2053, and then shrunk under the action of the cold air of the last five pairs of air knives 2053, so that the connection between the two conductive layers and the base film is tightened.
[0106] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, based on the present invention, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

7. A method for producing a composite copper foil of a vacuum-evaporated base film, using the composite copper foil production device of a vacuum-evaporated base film as described in claim 6, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1: Before the membrane cloth is processed with a composite conductive layer, the membrane cloth is first passed through a hot pressing and shaping section (201), so that the water-containing membrane cloth that has been pre-cleaned passes between the lower hot pressing plate (2011) for whole membrane and the upper hot pressing plate (2012) for whole membrane. The auxiliary film feeding roller (2013) on the upper left wall of the lower hot pressing plate (2011) for whole membrane and the auxiliary film feeding roller (2013) on the upper right wall of the upper hot pressing plate (2012) for whole membrane apply friction to the membrane cloth to convey the membrane cloth, and then the membrane cloth passes through the lower hot pressing plate (2011) for whole membrane. The contact surface between the pressing plate (2011) and the hot pressing plate (2012) on the whole film is hot pressed by the whole film, the base film is flattened by the hot pressing, and finally the film cloth passes through the hot pressing plate (2014) below the film edge and the hot pressing plate (2015) on the film edge, and the film edge is further flattened. The conveying roller (2016) in the film, the upper left auxiliary film conveying roller (2013) of the hot pressing plate (2014) below the film edge and the lower right auxiliary film conveying roller (2013) of the hot pressing plate (2015) on the film edge stably convey the film cloth during the hot pressing process; Step 2: After the hot pressing shaping of the base film is completed in the hot pressing shaping section (201), the membrane cloth continues to move horizontally to the right and enters the activated conductive layer section (202). The activated conductive layer section (202) uses an upper activation nozzle (2021a) and a lower activation nozzle (2021b) to spray to the upper and lower surfaces of the membrane cloth. The spraying time is 30-70s. The membrane cloth is immersed in the space composed of the mounting frame (2071), the vertical segmented partition (2072) and the trough body to remove the oxide layer and activate the initial conductive layer. The immersion temperature of the activated conductive layer section (202) is 45 degrees Celsius; Step 3: The rear membrane cloth enters the conductive section (203), and the power device of the line body supplies energy to the sprocket (2036), driving the power shaft (2035) to rotate. The meshing transmission between the gears is used to link the main transmission shaft (2062), driving the transmission roller group (2063) and the water retaining roller group (2064) to transmit the membrane cloth from left to right, so that the membrane cloth passes through the two pairs of conductive rollers (2034) and becomes the cathode, with a negatively charged surface. The conductive liquid nozzle group ( During this process, the upper vertical single nozzle (2039a) and the lower inclined double nozzles (2039b) of the conductive rollers (2039) spray the electroplating copper liquid toward the conductive rollers (2034). The four conductive rollers (2034) are in the shape of an inverted isosceles trapezoid, which reduces the vertical height of the conductive rollers (2034). The two groups of water-blocking roller groups (2064) block the accumulated water and increase the liquid level of the electroplating copper liquid, so that the electroplating copper liquid completely immerses the two pairs of conductive rollers (2034). Step 4: The rear membrane cloth enters the copper trough section (204), and the jet pipe group (2044) is used to spray up and down, and the vertical segmented partition (2072) is used to limit the flow to ensure the immersion height of the electroplated copper liquid in the copper trough section (204), and a heating device is used to ensure that the treatment temperature in the copper trough section (204) is 22-25 degrees Celsius. The membrane cloth passes through the sunshade component (2048). During this process, the liquid circulation pipe (2045) is connected from the middle of the jet pipe group (2044) to both ends. The electroplating copper liquid is transported so that the jet branch pipe passes through the anode iridium plate (2047) to uniformly transport the liquid to the upper wall and the lower wall of the membrane cloth. The anode iridium plate (2047) is a grid plate as a whole, and two rectangular hollow grooves are provided at the lower part thereof to be inlaid and arranged corresponding to the jet outlets of the jet branch pipe. The primary sliding positioning plate (2048b) and the secondary sliding support leg (2048c) of the sunshade component (2048) can slide forward and backward to adjust the front and rear position of the anode sunshade plate (2048d), thereby adjusting the sunshade area; Step 5: After passing through the composite conductive layer coating section spaced apart by two conductive sections (203) and the copper trough section (204), the membrane cloth continues to move to the right, enters the curing composite layer section (205), and passes between the upper and lower air knives (2053).
