Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vacuum evaporation coating machines, and more specifically, to a cooling channel system for a crucible rotation mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The evaporation coating machine is mainly used for depositing thin films on a substrate. By heating an evaporation source (usually a crucible), the material is evaporated and then condensed onto the surface of the substrate in a vacuum environment. The role of the crucible rotation mechanism is to rotate the crucible evenly to ensure uniform distribution of the evaporated material, and the cooling system is used to control the temperature of the crucible to prevent overheating. The traditional cooling structure is not efficient enough, resulting in unstable temperature control, affecting the coating quality. Moreover, the cooling channel design is unreasonable, leading to heat stress concentration and affecting the service life of the equipment.

[0003] The prior art CN219385299U discloses a crucible with a water-cooling structure, which sets a flow channel wall. Although it can extend the water flow path, the cross-section of the flow channel is fixed and gradually becomes higher from the inside to the outside, which may lead to uneven distribution of water flow velocity. The flow velocity in the area near the water inlet hole is fast, while the flow velocity on the outside decreases, easily forming a turbulent dead corner and reducing the overall heat exchange efficiency. The cooling water flows unidirectionally from the inside to the outside through the spiral flow channel wall, which may result in a large temperature gradient in different regions of the crucible body.

[0004] Therefore, a cooling channel system for a crucible rotation mechanism is needed to solve the problems of heat exchange efficiency and temperature uniformity. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the problems that the cross-section of the above-mentioned technical inlet flow channel is fixed and gradually becomes higher from the inside to the outside, which may lead to uneven distribution of water flow velocity, the flow velocity in the area near the water inlet hole is fast, while the flow velocity on the outside decreases, easily forming a turbulent dead corner and reducing the overall heat exchange efficiency, and the cooling water flows unidirectionally from the inside to the outside, which may result in a large temperature gradient in different regions of the crucible body, the present invention proposes a cooling channel system for a crucible rotation mechanism. By setting a water distribution device and using guide vanes and diversion holes, the effect of increasing the cooling area is achieved. The inner and outer channels are separated for inlet and outlet water, and at the same time, a top positioning guide groove is set to further make the water flow distribution uniform and improve the cooling effect.

[0006] A cooling channel system for a crucible rotating mechanism, the crucible rotating mechanism being arranged on the cavity bottom plate 1 of a vacuum evaporation machine. The crucible rotating mechanism includes an electron gun device 2, a crucible body 3, and a rotating mechanism 4. The crucible body 3 is arranged on the top of the rotating mechanism 4, and the electron gun device 2 is arranged on one side of the crucible body 3. The crucible body 3 is driven to rotate by the rotating mechanism 4. After the electron gun device 2 is deflected by a magnetic field, it emits an electron beam to bombard and heat the film material in the crucible to achieve heating. The rotating mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 42. It is characterized in that: a cooling channel system is provided inside the rotating mechanism 4 and the crucible body 3. The cooling channel system includes a water inlet 43, a water inlet channel 45, a water distribution device 5, a water outlet channel 46, and a water outlet 44. The water inlet channel 45 penetrates through the rotating shaft 42 and is located on the axis of the rotating shaft 42. The water inlet 43 is arranged on the side of the water inlet channel 45 close to the lower part, and the output end of the water inlet 43 is connected to the input end of the water inlet channel 45. A water distribution device 5 is arranged inside the crucible body 3. The top of the water inlet channel 45 passes through the bottom center of the crucible body 3 and the water distribution device 5 to the upper part of the water distribution device 5. The water distribution device 5 includes a water distribution disc 51 and guide vanes 55. A plurality of guide vanes 55 diverging in all directions are arranged on both the upper and lower surfaces of the water distribution disc 51. Each side of the guide vanes 55 is circumferentially arranged around the center of the water distribution disc 51. The water outlet channel 46 is arranged on the outer circle of the water inlet channel 45, so that the inner wall of the water outlet channel 46 and the outer wall of the water inlet channel 45 form a water flow channel 47 for water outlet. The input end of the water flow channel 47 is connected to the output end of the water distribution device 5, and the output end of the water flow channel 47 is connected to the water outlet 44. After the cooling water enters the water inlet channel 45 from the water inlet 43, it flows upward due to the impact force to the water distribution device 5. After cooling, the water flows downward from the water distribution device 5 into the water flow channel 47 and is then drawn out by the water outlet 44.

[0007] Further, an inlet joint 422 and an outlet joint 423 are arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 42. The output end of the inlet joint 422 is connected to the input end of the water inlet 43, and the output end of the water outlet 44 is communicated with the input end of the outlet joint 423.

[0008] Further, a partition 48 is arranged between the water inlet 43 and the water outlet 44, so that the water inlet 43 and the water outlet 44 are separated for water inlet and outlet.

[0009] Further, the water inlet 43 includes a first water inlet 431 and a second water inlet 432. The first water inlet 431 is provided at the same position on the outer circle of the second water inlet 432. A water storage chamber 49 is provided between the first water inlet 431, the second water inlet 432, and the partition 48. The water inlet flow channel 45 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 42. When cooling water is introduced, if the water inlet joint 422 is aligned with the first water inlet 431, it directly enters the water inlet flow channel 45 due to the impact force. If the water inlet joint 422 is not aligned with the first water inlet 431, the cooling water enters the water storage chamber 49 for temporary storage. When the water storage chamber 49 is filled with water to overflow the second water inlet 432, the cooling water directly enters the second water inlet 432 from the water storage chamber 49 and then enters the water inlet flow channel 45.

The top of the water inlet flow channel 45 passes through the center of the bottom of the bottom sealing plate 33 and the water distribution device 5 and enters the groove 321. Through fluid simulation analysis, when a water flow with a constant initial pressure flows upward, when passing through the groove 321, the density of the liquid proportion in the groove 321 area is basically the same, making the fluid distribution uniform.

[0012] Further, the cross-section of the groove 321 is a trapezoid with a narrow top and a wide bottom, which provides a guiding effect on the water flow that rushes to the top of the groove 321. The water inlet flow channel 45 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 42, so that after the water flow rushes out, it can be divided into multiple tributaries along the side wall of the groove 321 and flow to the upper surface of the water distribution plate 51, and the water flow is more uniform when flowing down, and the cooling effect is uniform.

[0013] Further, a first opening 52 is provided at the center of the water distribution plate 51, so that the water flow rushes through the first opening 52 from the water inlet flow channel 45, reaches the groove 321, and then flows to the water distribution device 5, and is evenly dispersed to the periphery of the water distribution plate 51 through a plurality of guiding fins 55, increasing the cooling area and improving the cooling effect.

[0014] Further, a circle of diversion holes 54 is densely arranged at the edge of the water distribution plate 51. The diversion holes 54 are arranged at equal intervals, so that the water flow is diverted through the diversion holes 54, increasing the cooling area and improving the cooling effect.

[0015] Furthermore, the guiding piece 55 is L-shaped, with a long side and a short side. The short side of the guiding piece 55 is perpendicular to the water distribution plate 51, the long side of the guiding piece 55 is connected to the water distribution plate 51, and the short sides of the guiding pieces 55 are all located on the same side along the circumferential direction, so as to make the water flow in the same direction when passing through each guiding piece 55. The short side of the guiding piece 55 is aligned with the center of the first opening 52.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of card slots 421 are annularly arranged at the top of the rotating shaft 42, and a plurality of connecting bolts 31 are annularly arranged in the middle of the crucible body 3. The connecting bolts 31 are clamped with the card slots 421 at the top of the rotating shaft 42 from the upper part of the crucible body 3 downwards.

The cooling flow channel system includes a water inlet 43, an inlet water flow channel 45, a water distribution device 5, an outlet water flow channel 46, and a water outlet 44. The inlet water flow channel 45 penetrates through the rotating shaft 42 and is located on the axis of the rotating shaft 42. The water inlet 43 is arranged on the side close to the lower part of the inlet water flow channel 45, and the output end of the water inlet 43 is connected to the input end of the inlet water flow channel 45.

A plurality of guiding pieces 55 diverging in all directions are arranged on both the upper and lower surfaces of the water distribution plate 51, and each side of the guiding pieces 55 is circumferentially arranged with the center of the water distribution plate 51 as the center.
