[0037] Working principle: When in use, through the cooperation of the vacuum pump 3, the vacuum pipe 4, the sealing block 5, the transfer box 6 and the exhaust pipe 7, when in use, the vacuum pump 3 extracts the air in the heating chamber 2 through the vacuum pipe 4 and the sealing block 5, and then exhausts it through the transfer box 6 and the exhaust pipe 7, which can create a high vacuum environment in the heating chamber 2, which is conducive to the electron beam physical vapor deposition process and avoids the impurities in the air from having a bad effect on the quality of the thermal barrier coating. Through the design of the rotating door 9, the rotating door 9 is rotatably installed with the heating chamber 2 through the hinge 8, and the door is opened. The rotating door 9 can be used to put in or take out the crucible 14 and other components, and the heating chamber 2 and the rotating door 9 are made of heat-insulating materials, which can effectively reduce heat loss and energy consumption, and are convenient to operate and improve work efficiency. It can also increase the service life of the heating chamber 2 and the rotating door 9, and avoid excessive internal temperature, which may cause the heating chamber 2 and the rotating door 9 to be easily damaged. The vacuum pump 3, the heating component 15, and the temperature monitor 11 can be turned on and off by the control switch 17, and the temperature of the heating chamber can be monitored in real time by the temperature monitor 11 through the monitoring probe 12. 2, two temperature monitors 11 and monitoring probes 12 are respectively located on both sides of the heating chamber 2, which can monitor the temperature more accurately, provide data support for accurately controlling the heating process, and ensure the quality stability of the thermal barrier coating. When the screw rod 1309 rotates, since the fixed plate 1303 and the screw rod 1309 are threadedly connected, and the slider 1302 and the slide rail 1301 are slidably connected, the rotation of the fixed plate 1303 can be limited, so that the fixed plate 1303 moves along the axial direction of the screw rod 1309. When the crucible 14 is not placed , the crucible 14 can be easily brought out, so that the crucible 14 is away from the heating assembly 15, and electric control can also be used to realize the front and rear positions of the crucible 14 in the heating chamber 2, so as to better control the heating process. When the screw rod 1309 is rotated, since the limit block 1308 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 1309, the limit block 1308 will move along the axial direction of the screw rod 1309. At the same time, the limit block 1308 is adapted to the sliding column 1307, and the sliding column 1307 plays a guiding role to ensure the stability of the movement of the limit block 1308.When the two limit blocks 1308 are close to each other, the "C"-shaped slot 1311 will gradually clamp the crucible 14, which can firmly fix the crucible 14 to prevent the crucible 14 from moving or shaking during the heating process, thereby ensuring the stable preparation process of the thermal barrier coating. The matching slot 1311 and the crucible 14 can fit better, improve the clamping effect, and further enhance the reliability of the device. Through the design of the two screws 1305, the rotating wheel 1306, the sliding column 1307 and the limit block 1308, when clamping the crucible 14, force can be applied from both sides at the same time. The clamping force is more evenly distributed on the crucible 14, ensuring that the crucible 14 is firmly fixed in the slot 1311 of the limit block 1308, which can effectively prevent the crucible 14 from deflecting or shaking due to uneven force during the heating process, ensuring the stability and reliability of the thermal barrier coating preparation process, and the symmetrical distribution makes the operation more balanced and stable. Whether adjusting the clamping degree or performing other operations, the force and direction can be better controlled, and the accuracy and efficiency of the operation are improved. The mounting plate 1501 is located inside the heating chamber 2 , which can make the evaporation electron gun 1505 closer to the heated crucible 14, reduce heat loss, and improve heating efficiency. It is fixed and installed by bolts. This connection method is firm and reliable, which can ensure that the position of the evaporation electron gun 1505 is stable during the heating process and will not be offset due to vibration or other external forces, which helps to maintain the uniformity and stability of heating. The evaporation electron gun 1505 is rotatably installed through the rotating column 1504 and the connecting block 1503, so that the heating head 1506 can be flexibly adjusted in angle. When not in use, the evaporation electron gun 1505 can be rotated to prevent fooling around. Through the design of four fixed seats 1502, the evaporation electron gun 1505, the rotating column 1504 and the connecting block 1503, a more powerful heating power can be provided, the evaporation rate of the material in the crucible 14 can be accelerated, and the preparation efficiency of the thermal barrier coating can be improved. The equidistant distribution design makes the heating more uniform. The four evaporation electron guns 1505 heat the crucible 14 from different angles, which can ensure that all parts of the material in the crucible 14 can receive uniform heat.
