DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-15As shown, it shows the specific structure of the preferred first embodiment of the present invention, which is a sputtering coating processing method for generating plasma and sputtering coating a workpiece. The device is mainly used to ensure that the generated plasma does not block the outlet hole, and can also adjust the size of the channel for the plasma to pass through while ensuring the sealing of the entire device.
[0035] The sputtering coating processing method includes an air intake assembly 20 and a cathode column 30 which are arranged in cooperation with each other in a base 10. The base 10 is also provided with a covering air guide mechanism 40 covering the air intake assembly 20, two opposing shielding correction mechanisms 50 arranged in a channel 101 between the cathode column 30 and a coating chamber 1, and a vacuum driving mechanism 60 for pushing the shielding correction mechanism 50 to move.
[0036] Specifically, the sputtering coating processing method includes a base 10, which can be a target base door and is movably connected to the coating chamber. A cavity is provided on one side of the base 10 corresponding to the coating chamber, and the output ends of the air intake assembly 20, the cathode column 30, the covering air guide mechanism 40, the shielding correction mechanism 50 and the vacuum drive mechanism 60 are all provided in the cavity.
[0037] When preparing for coating, the base 10 is fitted and locked with the coating chamber to ensure the sealing of the coating chamber and the cavity on the base 10, and then vacuum is evacuated, and process gas is injected into the base cavity through the air intake assembly 20. After the process gas enters the cavity, it cooperates with the rotating cathode column 30 to form plasma. When the plasma is formed, some of it will be sputtered to the inner wall of the base cavity as the cathode column rotates. At this time, the air intake pipe 22 of the air intake assembly 20 is installed in the base cavity, and the air outlet hole of the air intake pipe 22 is also easy to contact with the plasma and cause blockage. In order to avoid this situation, the air intake pipe 22 is covered with a gas guide mechanism 40 to prevent the plasma from contacting the air outlet hole on the air intake pipe 22; When the plasma-containing side of the cathode column 30 rotates to the coating chamber 1, the plasma performs target coating on the workpiece through the channel 101. The workpiece needs to be coated multiple times. Since the plasma is an independent individual during coating, the thickness of the film layer on the workpiece after coating may not be uniform. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the shielding and trimming mechanism 50 to control the aperture of the channel 101 to adjust the thickness of the workpiece during coating.
[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, exemplarily, the covering air guide mechanism 40 includes a door lining plate 41 disposed in the inner cavity of the base 10, and a protective cover 42 covering the air outlet 21 on the air intake assembly 20, and the protective cover 42 is provided with an air outlet 421 connected to the inner cavity of the door lining plate 41, and the air outlet 421 is staggered with the cathode column 30; Specifically, compared with the existing air intake assembly used in the sputtering coating equipment, the exhaust hole for discharging the process gas is unobstructed and faces the cathode column. As the cathode column rotates, the plasma generated by the sputtering will be sputtered. When the sputtering reaches the exhaust hole, it will form an accumulation until the exhaust hole is blocked and the normal operation of the sputtering coating equipment is affected. The air intake assembly 20 used in the sputtering coating equipment prevents the sputtered plasma from directly contacting the outlet hole 21 when the cathode column 30 rotates by means of a protective cover 42 wrapped outside the outlet hole 21. In addition, in order to allow the process gas discharged from the outlet hole 21 to smoothly enter the base cavity, an outlet 421 is opened on the protective cover 42, and the outlet 421 is staggered with the cathode column 30, so as to further prevent the sputtered plasma from contacting the outlet hole 21 and blocking the outlet hole 21 due to reflection when the cathode column 30 rotates, thereby solving the problem of outlet hole 21 blockage and ensuring the normal operation of the sputtering coating equipment. The air outlet 421 is located on a first end surface 422 of the protection cover 42 facing the door lining 41 , and the first end surface 422 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the door lining 41 to form an air outlet channel 423 .
[0039] Specifically, in order to further prevent the sputtered plasma from entering the protective cover 42 through the gas outlet 421 and contacting the gas outlet 21 when the cathode column 30 rotates, the gas outlet 421 is arranged on the first end surface 422 of the base 10 corresponding to the protective cover 42, so as to increase the distance between the gas outlet 421 and the cathode column 30, thereby reducing the possibility of the sputtered plasma entering the gas outlet 421.
[0040] Specifically, one side of the protective cover 42 corresponds to the coating chamber 1, and the side opposite to the side is the first end face 422. One side of the base 10 corresponds to the coating chamber 1, and the side opposite to the side corresponds to the first end face 422. A gap is left between the two, and the gap is the air outlet channel 423.
[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, illustratively, the air outlet direction of the air outlet hole 21 and the air outlet direction of the air outlet 421 are located in different directions.
[0042] Specifically, when the cathode column 30 rotates, some of the plasma sputtered will pass through the gas outlet channel 423 and enter the gas outlet 421. At this time, if the gas outlet hole 21 corresponds to the gas outlet 421, some plasma may enter the gas outlet hole 21 and cause the gas outlet 21 to be blocked. For this reason, the gas outlet direction level position of the gas outlet 21 is set not to correspond to the gas outlet 421, so as to reduce the possibility of plasma contacting the gas outlet hole 31.
[0043] In one embodiment, the outlet direction of the gas outlet 21 corresponds to the cathode column 30. The outlet direction of the gas outlet 21 corresponds to the cathode column 30, so that the air flow path from the gas outlet 21 to the gas outlet 421 to the gas outlet channel 423 is concave, so as to reduce the possibility of contact between the plasma and the gas outlet 21.
[0044] In another embodiment, the outlet direction of the gas outlet 21 corresponds to the coating chamber 1. The outlet direction of the gas outlet 31 corresponds to the connection end between the coating chamber 1 and the channel 101. Compared with the gas outlet 21 corresponding to the cathode column 30, the flow path length of the gas flowing out of the gas outlet 21 is shortened, so that the gas can contact the cathode column 30 faster.
[0045] In the next embodiment, the gas outlet direction of the gas outlet hole 21 is consistent with the gas outlet direction of the gas outlet 421, and the gas outlet hole 21 and the gas outlet 421 are arranged in a staggered manner. When the gas outlet direction of the gas outlet hole 21 corresponds to the first inner wall 410, the length of the gas flow path is further reduced; like Figure 1 As shown, illustratively, the cathode column 30 is disposed in the inner cavity of the door lining 41 , and the distance between the cathode column 30 and the first inner wall 410 on the door lining 41 is greater than the diameter of the air outlet channel 423 .
[0046] Specifically, the side of the cathode column 30 corresponding to the first inner wall 410 is larger than the diameter of the gas outlet channel 423, so that the sputtered plasma is not easy to enter the gas outlet channel 423 when the cathode column 30 rotates, thereby reducing the possibility of plasma entering the gas outlet hole 21 and even the inner cavity of the protective cover 42 from the gas outlet channel 423.
[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, exemplarily, the door lining 41 includes a first plate body 412 and a second plate body 413 extending inward on both sides of the first plate body 412, the first plate body 412 and the two second plate bodies 413 together enclose the installation cavity 414, the protective cover 42 is arranged on one of the second plate bodies 413, and the first inner wall 410 is located on the first plate body 412.
[0048] Specifically, the first plate body 412 and the second plate body 413 are integrally formed, and the opposing surfaces of the two second plates 413 extend inwards, that is, they are close to each other, so that the second plate body 413 is inclined, and the diameter of the installation cavity 414 is reduced, so that the process gas can fill the installation cavity 414 more quickly and cooperate with the cathode column 30 to generate plasma to coat the workpiece; The two shielding correction mechanisms 50 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the two second plates 413, and as the two shielding correction mechanisms 50 move closer together, the diameter of the outlet port of the installation cavity 414 is reduced. The shielding correction mechanism 50 is used to adjust the film thickness of the workpiece during film coating, mainly by moving its internal correction ruler and the shielding correction mechanism 50 itself to reduce the diameter of the channel 101 for plasma to pass through.
[0049] The shielding correction mechanism 50 includes a mounting frame 51, a plurality of correction rulers 52 and a plurality of shielding rulers 53, and an electric drive mechanism 54 for driving the correction rulers 52 and the shielding rulers 53; Each correction ruler 52 is adjustable and spaced apart on the mounting frame 51, and a first gap 55 is formed between two adjacent correction rulers 52; the correction ruler 52 is adjusted so that the shielding portion 521 of the correction ruler 52 extends into or out of the channel 101; Each shielding ruler 53 is adjustably disposed on the mounting frame 51 and covers the corresponding first gap 55 . The shielding ruler 53 is adjusted so that the shielding ruler 53 covers the area corresponding to the first gap 55 .
[0050] Specifically, compared with the existing sputtering coating shielding correction mechanism, the correction ruler is in the shape of a flat plate, and there is a gap between two adjacent correction rulers, which causes the plasma to leak through the gap when the correction ruler is shielded, affecting the shielding effect. The present sputtering coating and shielding correction mechanism 50 shields the first gap 55 between two adjacent correction rulers 52 by the shielding ruler 53 to avoid the plasma passing through the first gap 55 when shielding the plasma. In addition, the present device can be automatically adjusted without breaking the vacuum, and the adjustment can be completed within the time of preparing the coating workpiece. It does not take up other time, while the previous manual adjustment requires breaking the vacuum, and then spending a lot of time on manual adjustment, and then vacuuming, which usually takes about 2 hours. And the adjustment is not successful in one time, and multiple adjustments are required, and so on. In the past, the efficiency of manual adjustment was very low, and it often took one or two working hours for the equipment to operate normally.
[0051] It should be noted that under high vacuum conditions, inert gas is filled, and through the action of electric field and magnetic field, discharge forms plasma. The electrons and ions in the plasma are accelerated through the channel 101 into the coating chamber 1 under the joint action of the electric field and magnetic field and contact the workpiece in the coating chamber 1. In this process, the target material needs to be coated for multiple rounds, and the coating condition of the target material is closely related to the distribution of plasma. At this time, the width of the channel 101 is reduced by adjusting the correction ruler 52 and the shielding ruler 53, thereby limiting the amount of plasma passing through a specific position of the channel 101, so as to facilitate the user to adjust the coating condition of the target material.
[0052] like Fig. 9As shown, the electric drive mechanism 54 exemplarily includes a first electric actuator 541 corresponding to each correction ruler 52, and a second electric actuator 542 corresponding to each shielding ruler 53, wherein the first electric actuator 541 drives the correction ruler 52 to adjust on the mounting frame 51, and the second electric actuator 542 drives the shielding ruler 53 to adjust on the mounting frame 51. As the output shaft of the first electric actuator 541 extends outward, the correction ruler 52 extends into the channel 101 and shields the plasma passing through the channel 101, and as the output shaft of the first electric actuator 541 contracts inward, the correction ruler 52 no longer shields the plasma in the channel 101. The principle of the second electric actuator 542 is consistent with that of the first electric actuator 541. When the output shaft of the second electric actuator 542 extends outward, the shielding ruler 53 enters the channel 101, and when the output shaft of the second electric actuator 542 contracts inward, the shielding ruler 53 no longer shields the plasma in the channel 101.
[0053] Specifically, after a correction ruler 52 is pushed into the channel 101 by the first electric actuator 541, a shielding ruler 53 adjacent to the correction ruler 52 should be pushed into the channel 101 again, and so on, to ensure that the first gap 55 between two adjacent correction rulers 52 can be covered by the shielding ruler 53 to avoid leakage of plasma during shielding.
[0054] In addition, the correction ruler 52 and the shielding ruler 53 can be adjusted arbitrarily according to actual conditions to meet the needs in different situations.
[0055] In one embodiment, the mounting frame 51 is further provided with a box body 57 for accommodating the first electric actuator 541 and the second electric actuator 542, and a baffle 571 is provided in the box body 57 for separating the output shafts of the first electric actuator 541 and the second electric actuator 542. The baffle 571 not only separates the output shafts of the first electric actuator 541 and the second electric actuator 542, but also limits the moving direction of the output shafts of the first electric actuator 541 and the second electric actuator 542, so as to ensure that the movement of the output shafts of the first electric actuator 541 and the second electric actuator 542 will not be offset when the first electric actuator 541 and the second electric actuator 542 are not fixed. In addition, two baffles 571 are grouped together, and the two baffles 571 of the group are respectively located on both sides of the output shaft of the first electric actuator 541 or the second electric actuator 542.
[0056] like Fig.10 As shown, illustratively, the correction ruler 52 includes a first flat portion 522 and first protrusions 523 extending toward the coating chamber 1 at both side edges of the first flat portion 522 , and the first gap 55 is located between the corresponding two first protrusions 523 on two adjacent correction rulers 52 .
[0057] Specifically, although the two adjacent correction rulers 52 are shielded by the shielding ruler 53, there is still a gap between the correction ruler 52 and the shielding ruler 53. When shielded, plasma can still pass through the gap and leak. For this reason, the first protrusions 523 integrally formed with the shielding ruler 53 are provided on both side edges of the correction ruler 52 opposite to the shielding ruler 53. The first protrusions 523 are in the shape of a slat. When the correction ruler 52 is concave, the concave design of the correction ruler 52, combined with the shielding ruler 53, can further prevent plasma leakage when shielded. The shielding ruler 53 includes a second flat portion 531 and second protruding portions 532 extending from both side edges of the second flat portion 531 toward the first flat portion 522 . The second flat portion 531 blocks the gap, and a curved gap 56 is formed between the corresponding second protruding portions 532 and the first protruding portions 523 .
[0058] Specifically, in order to adapt to the first protrusion 523 on the correction ruler 52, second protrusions 532 integrally formed with the shielding ruler 53 are provided on both side edges of the shielding ruler 53 opposite to the correction ruler 52, so that the shielding ruler 53 is also designed to be concave. When the correction ruler 52 and the shielding ruler 53 cooperate to shield the plasma, the curved gap 56 generated by the cooperation between the first protrusion 523 and the second protrusion 532 makes it more difficult for the plasma shielded by the correction ruler 52 and the shielding ruler 53 to leak; In addition, two adjacent shielding correction mechanisms 50 are arranged opposite to each other to jointly control the size of the channel 101, so as to better shield the plasma and enhance the quality of target coating.
[0059] In one embodiment, the shielding correction mechanism 50 is disposed on the output shaft of the vacuum driving mechanism 60, and the vacuum driving mechanism 60 drives the shielding correction mechanism 50 to approach or move away from the coating chamber 1. With the operation of the vacuum driving mechanism 60, the shielding correction mechanism 50 has two states, one is that the channel 101 is reduced as the output shaft of the vacuum driving mechanism 60 extends, and the other is that the output shaft of the vacuum driving mechanism 60 retracts and the channel 101 expands, which increases the user's selectivity during sputtering coating to improve the effect of target coating.
[0060] In another embodiment, the shielding correction mechanism 50 disposed in the base 10 is obliquely disposed on the output shaft of the vacuum driving mechanism 60. When there are two cathode columns 30 in the base 10, there are four shielding correction mechanisms 50 corresponding to the cathode columns 30, and they are opposite to each other and are located on the sides of the two cathode columns 30. At this time, in order to facilitate the shielding correction mechanism 50 to better adjust the size of the channel 101, the two shielding correction mechanisms 50 near the two side edges of the base 10 are set to be inclined, so that when the vacuum driving mechanism 60 drives the oblique shielding correction mechanism 50 to move, the size of the channel 101 can be reduced, so as to better control the shooting range.
[0061] like Fig.14 As shown, illustratively, the vacuum drive mechanism 60 includes a drive cylinder 61 installed laterally on one side of the base and a drive cylinder piston shaft 62 connected to the shading correction mechanism 50; The piston shaft 62 passes through a shaft sleeve 63 provided on the base 10, and two vacuum shaft sleeve assemblies 64 are tightly mounted between the shaft sleeve 63 and the piston shaft 62, and the two vacuum shaft sleeve assemblies 64 are respectively located at both ends of the shaft sleeve 63; Each of the vacuum sleeve assemblies 64 comprises a rigid sleeve 641 located at the opening of the inner cavity 631 of the sleeve 63, a clamping ring 642 attached to the inner wall of the rigid sleeve 641, and a flexible expansion ring 643 attached to the inner wall of the clamping ring 642. The rigid sleeve 641 and the clamping ring 642 squeeze the flexible expansion ring 643 to deform. It should be noted that by arranging vacuum sleeve assemblies 64 at both ends of the shaft sleeve 63, its sealing performance is greatly improved, and the rigid sleeve ring 641, the clamping ring 642 and the flexible expansion ring 643 are squeezed in sequence, so that the shaft sleeve 63 has a stronger sealing effect. The rigid sleeve ring 641 and the clamping ring 642 in the two vacuum sleeve assemblies 64 simultaneously play a role in stabilizing the support of the piston shaft 62, thereby supporting and guiding the piston shaft 62 of the drive cylinder 61 to prevent it from shaking, bending or breaking.
[0062] Specifically, the shielding correction mechanism 50 is driven by the radial movement of the piston shaft 62 on the base 10 to adjust the size of the channel 101 for the plasma to pass through, so that the film thickness of the film coated on the product can be adjusted according to demand; The piston shaft 62 of the driving cylinder 61 passes through the shaft sleeve 63 installed on the base 10. The traditional shaft sleeve 63 is mainly used for sealing the piston shaft 62, but in the present application, the piston shaft 62 is used horizontally, and one end of the piston shaft 62 is connected to the driving cylinder 61, and the other end is connected to the shielding correction mechanism 50. The shielding correction mechanism 50 is heavy, which causes the piston shaft 62 to shake easily when moving radially, affecting the sealing effect of the shaft sleeve 63.
[0063] To this end, a flexible expansion ring 643 and a clamping ring 642 that can be plugged into each other are arranged in the shaft sleeve 63, and a rigid sleeve ring 641 that contacts each other is arranged at one end of the clamping ring 642 away from the flexible expansion ring 643. As the rigid sleeve ring 641 squeezes the clamping ring 642, the flexible expansion ring 643 is deformed and expanded, and the two side walls contact the inner wall of the shaft sleeve 63 and the outer wall of the piston shaft 62 to enhance the sealing effect of the shaft sleeve 63.
[0064] In addition, the clamping ring 642 can also support and guide the piston shaft 62, so that the piston shaft 62 is not prone to shaking when moving radially, and reduce the possibility of bending and breaking of the piston shaft 62. Of course, the clamping ring 642 can support the piston shaft 62, because the clamping ring 642 is made of metal or rigid material and has good rigidity; An extrusion groove 6431 is provided on the wall of the flexible expansion ring 643 close to the clamping ring 642 , and an extrusion portion 6421 is provided on the corresponding wall of the clamping ring 642 . The extrusion portion 6421 is inserted into the extrusion groove 6431 to deform the flexible expansion ring 643 .
[0065] Specifically, in order to facilitate the deformation of the flexible expansion ring 643 under the extrusion of the clamping ring 642 so as to tightly contact the inner wall of the shaft sleeve 63 and the outer wall of the piston shaft 62, an extrusion groove 6431 is provided on the side of the flexible expansion ring 643 opposite to the clamping ring 642, and the end of the clamping ring 642 corresponding to the flexible expansion ring 643 is provided with an extrusion portion 6421 integrally formed on the clamping ring 642. When the extrusion portion 6421 is inserted into the extrusion groove 6431, the flexible expansion ring 643 is deformed.
[0066] Specifically, the flexible expansion ring 643 has a displacement space with the extrusion groove 6431 formed thereon, so that the side wall of the flexible expansion ring 643 corresponding to the extrusion groove 6431 has a displacement space. When the extrusion portion 6421 is inserted into the extrusion groove 6431 and the extrusion portion 6421 is larger than the extrusion groove 6431, the position of the flexible expansion ring 643 where the extrusion groove 6431 is formed is deformed, and the flexible expansion ring 643 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the shaft sleeve 63 and the outer wall of the piston shaft 62, so as to enhance the sealing effect of the shaft sleeve 63. The opening of the extrusion groove 6431 is in a trumpet shape, and the cross section of the extrusion portion 6421 is in a triangular shape. The triangular extrusion portion 6421 squeezes the flexible expansion ring 643 to deform.
[0067] Specifically, in order to allow the extrusion groove 6431 to produce a cavity expansion after the extrusion portion 6421 is inserted, the extrusion groove 6431 is configured to be a trumpet-mouth shape, with the trumpet mouth being wide at the insertion end and narrow at the tail end, and the cross-section of the extrusion portion 6421 inserted into the extrusion groove 6431 is a triangular arc, which is adapted to the trumpet mouth to ensure the tightness of the two after the extrusion portion 6421 is inserted into the extrusion groove 6431.
[0068] Of course, the extrusion portion 6421 is larger than the extrusion groove 6431 so that after the extrusion portion 6421 is inserted into the extrusion groove 6431, the flexible expansion ring 43 is deformed and expanded; The position of the base 10 corresponding to the installation shaft sleeve 63 is a support portion 11 , and the wall thickness of the support portion 11 is greater than the wall thickness of other positions of the base 10 .
[0069] Specifically, the base 10 is relatively thin, while the shaft sleeve 63 is longer than the thickness of the base 10 . In order to better support the shaft sleeve 63 , a supporting portion 11 is installed on the base 10 to better support the shaft sleeve 63 .
[0070] like Fig.15As shown, exemplarily, the two vacuum sleeve assemblies 64 are respectively a first vacuum sleeve assembly 64a close to the drive cylinder 61 and a second vacuum sleeve assembly 64b close to the correction assembly, and a sealing assembly 65 is further sandwiched between the first vacuum sleeve assembly 64a and the second vacuum sleeve assembly 64b.
[0071] Specifically, the vacuum sleeve assembly 64 includes two vacuum sleeve assemblies 64, which are arranged at the inlet end and the outlet end of the sleeve 63 to enhance the sealing effect of the sleeve 63. In addition, the sealing assembly 65 sandwiched between the two vacuum sleeve assemblies 64 can further enhance the sealing effect of the sleeve 63.
[0072] It should be noted that the rigid sleeve 641 is made of copper. When copper is used, the rigid sleeve 641 has a good lubrication effect and can ensure its rigidity. During assembly, the rigid sleeve 461 in a vacuum sleeve assembly 64 sequentially squeezes the clamping ring 642, the flexible expansion ring 643, the sealing assembly 65, another flexible expansion ring 643 in another vacuum sleeve assembly 64, the clamping ring 642 and the rigid sleeve 641 to enhance the sealing of the shaft sleeve 63. In addition, the copper rigid sleeve 641 can also guide the piston shaft 62 to move radially; like Fig.15 As shown, illustratively, the sealing assembly 65 includes a plurality of O-rings 651 and a gasket 652 disposed between two adjacent O-rings 651. The O-rings 651 and the gaskets 652 cooperate to ensure the sealing of the shaft sleeve 63; like Figure 1 As shown, illustratively, the second vacuum sleeve assembly 64b is located in the shaft sleeve inner cavity 631 and is located at the installation position of the shaft sleeve 63 and the base 10; the first rigid sleeve ring 64a1 in the first vacuum sleeve assembly 64a is partially exposed outside the shaft sleeve inner cavity 631, and a sleeve cap 66 is provided on the corresponding end of the shaft sleeve 63, and the inner wall of the sleeve cap 66 squeezes the first rigid sleeve ring 64a1 to move in the shaft sleeve inner cavity 631 toward the second vacuum sleeve assembly 64b.
[0073] Specifically, the inner wall of the shaft sleeve cap 66 is provided with an internal thread, and the corresponding end of the shaft sleeve 63 is provided with an external thread, and the two threads are installed in coordination. As the user twists the shaft sleeve 63, the inner wall of the shaft sleeve 63 contacts the first rigid sleeve ring 64a1 and moves into the shaft sleeve inner cavity 631, and squeezes the clamping ring 642, the flexible expansion ring 643, the sealing assembly 65, another flexible expansion ring 643 in another vacuum shaft sleeve assembly 64, the clamping ring 642 and the rigid sleeve ring 641 in turn.
[0074] The opening position of the shaft sleeve cap 66 facing the drive cylinder 61 and the opening position of the shaft sleeve 63 facing the shielding correction mechanism 50 are both provided with sealing rings 67. There are two sealing rings 67, one of which is located in the inner cavity of the shaft sleeve cap 66 and the other is located in the inner cavity of the shaft sleeve 63, so as to enhance the sealing effect between the shaft sleeve cap 66 and the shaft sleeve 63; like Figure 1 As shown, illustratively, the sealing ring 67 is divided into a first ring body 671 and a second ring body 672, and the first ring body 671 and the second ring body 672 are provided with a plug-in portion 673 at opposite ends, and the plug-in portion 673 is integrally formed on the side edges of the first ring body 671 and the second ring body 672 adjacent to the piston shaft 62, and the two plug-in portions 673 are respectively inserted into the gaps between the piston shaft 62 and the shaft sleeve 63, and between the piston shaft 62 and the shaft sleeve cap 66; The end of the sealing ring 67 away from the plug-in part 673 is arranged in a concave annular groove 674. The plug-in part 673 arranged on the first ring body 671 is inserted into the gap between the piston shaft 62 and the shaft sleeve cap 66, while the plug-in part 673 on the second ring body 672 is inserted into the gap between the piston shaft 62 and the shaft sleeve 63. To ensure the sealing protection effect of the shaft sleeve 63 and the shaft sleeve cap 66. In addition, in order to make the sealing ring 67 fill the gap better, an annular groove 674 is provided at one end of the sealing ring 67 away from the plug-in part 73. When the sealing ring 67 is squeezed by external force, the force-bearing diameter of the annular groove 674 is narrowed, and the plug-in part 673 is squeezed and moves toward the inner cavity of the gap.
[0075] In summary, the design focus of the present invention is that the base 10 is buckled with the coating chamber 1, and the side of the base 10 corresponding to the coating chamber 1 includes a mounting cavity 414 and a channel 101 connecting the mounting cavity 414 and the coating chamber 1; The cathode column 30, the air inlet assembly 20 and the covering air guide mechanism 40 are located in the installation cavity 414; During coating, the inner cavity of the fitted base 10 and the coating chamber 1 are evacuated, and then the process gas is transported to the outlet hole 21 in the installation cavity 414 through the air inlet pipe 22 on the air inlet assembly 20 for discharge, so that the process gas can better contact the cathode column 30 in the installation cavity 414. At this time, the drive motor 12 is fixed on the top of the base 10, and the output shaft of the drive motor 12 is plugged into the installation cavity 414 and connected to the cathode column 30. The cathode column 30 is driven by the drive motor 12 to rotate and cooperate with the process gas under the action of the electric field and the magnetic field to discharge and form plasma, which is used for sputtering coating of the workpiece in the coating chamber 1.
[0076] It should be noted that during the plasma generation process, in order to prevent the cathode column 30 from rotating and causing some plasma to be thrown out and contact the gas outlet 21 on the gas inlet pipe 22, resulting in the gas outlet 21 being blocked and unable to discharge the process gas, a protective cover 42 including a gas outlet 421 is covered on the gas inlet pipe 22. While the protective cover 42 prevents the plasma from contacting the gas inlet hole 21, the process gas is normally injected into the installation cavity 414 through the gas outlet 421.
[0077] After coating, the correction ruler 52 or the shielding ruler 53 is controlled to move toward the channel 101 according to the film condition on the workpiece after coating, so as to reduce the size of the channel 101. In addition, the entire shielding correction mechanism 50 can also gradually reduce the size of the channel 101 under the push of the vacuum driving mechanism 60, further facilitating the user to adjust the coating condition of the workpiece without breaking the vacuum.
[0078] In addition, when the vacuum driving mechanism 60 pushes the shielding correction mechanism 50, it can also use the vacuum sleeve assembly 64, the first vacuum sleeve assembly 64a, the first rigid sleeve ring 64a1, the second vacuum sleeve assembly 64b, the rigid sleeve ring 641, the clamping ring 642 and the flexible expansion ring 643 to ensure that the piston shaft 62 of the driving cylinder 61 drives the shielding correction mechanism 50 to move without shaking, bending or breaking to affect the vacuum state of the entire equipment.
[0079] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any slight modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
