Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of arc ion plating, in particular to an arc ion plating device with central air intake. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern industry, the requirements for material surface properties in various fields continue to rise. Arc ion plating technology has been widely used in the industrial sector due to its unique advantages. This technology has the remarkable characteristic of a high target material ionization rate, which means that the target material can be converted into an ionic state more efficiently, laying a good foundation for the subsequent thin film or coating deposition. Its fast film or coating deposition rate greatly improves production efficiency and meets the rhythm of large-scale industrial production. At the same time, the prepared film or coating has a dense structure and excellent protective properties. In particular, arc ion plating technology has demonstrated excellent effectiveness in the surface protection and modification of key industrial components such as cutting tools, molds, and wear-resistant parts. After this technical treatment, the surface hardness of the workpiece is effectively improved, which can better resist external mechanical forces and reduce wear. The enhanced composite toughness makes the workpiece less likely to suffer brittle fracture when subjected to complex stresses, significantly improving its reliability. The significant improvement in wear resistance can effectively extend the service life of the workpiece in high-friction environments. The improvement in chemical stability makes the workpiece more stable when facing erosion by various chemical media, and less likely to undergo chemical reactions that lead to performance degradation. The comprehensive optimization of these properties greatly extends the service life of the workpiece, reduces costs for industrial production, and creates higher economic benefits.

[0003] However, currently in the arc ion plating process, the temperature of the cathode arc spot usually far exceeds the melting point of the metal, and a micro-molten pool is formed on the cathode surface. In the micro-molten pool, the metal will undergo intense vaporization. When the metal vapor flow rushes into the space at high speed, it will carry out some liquid metal, causing droplets to splash and eventually form large droplets. Once these large droplets are deposited on the surface of the film layer, the surface roughness of the film layer will increase significantly. The increase in the surface roughness of the film layer will not only affect the appearance quality of the workpiece, but more importantly, it will have a negative impact on the functionality of the workpiece.

After the target material is installed on the cathode target, close the vacuum coating chamber 11 and evacuate to high vacuum, apply high voltage of the anode and cathode to make the target material arc evaporate and ionize, and at the same time, the gas guide screw rod 141 is driven at high speed, pulling the metal vapor and droplets to move downward along the lower guide tube 122 in a spiral.

[0044] To sum up, by providing a lower conduit 122 with a centrifugal hole 1221 and a high-temperature crushing sleeve 13 with a wall-attached peak hole 131 on the inner wall, during film coating, metal vapor and droplets spiral downward along the lower conduit 122 under the action of the gas-guiding screw rod 141, and the droplets are thrown out into the high-temperature crushing sleeve 13 through the centrifugal hole 1221, and a metal wall hanging layer is formed under the action of the wall-attached peak hole 131, thereby avoiding the deposition of large particle droplets on the surface of the film layer, effectively reducing the surface roughness of the film layer, and improving the appearance quality and functionality of the workpiece. In addition, on the one hand, the driving motor drives the gas-guiding screw rod 141 to rotate at a high speed through the speed-increasing gearbox, which can efficiently pull metal vapor and droplets, so that the metal vapor is more evenly transported between the workpieces. On the other hand, the driving gear 142 engages with the driven gear 1511, driving the lower spring seat 151 and the upper spring seat 154 to rotate the workpiece at a uniform speed, so that the ion bombardment deposition angle is dynamically optimized, forming a high-quality film with uniform thickness and dense structure.

[0045] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the upper side of the high-temperature crushing sleeve 13 and the lower side of the adapter cap 133 are fixedly provided with an axially penetrating fixing ear 132, and the interior of the fixing ear 132 is slidably inserted with a ball rod 1341, and the fixing ear 132 on the side of the high-temperature crushing sleeve 13 cooperates with the bolt to fix the lower end of the ball rod 1341, the upper end of the ball rod 1341 is a sphere, and the sliding constraint of the ball end is set inside the stepped tube 134, the ball end of the ball rod 1341 is fixedly provided with a reset spring 1342 and an isolation telescopic sleeve 1343, and the upper ends of the reset spring 1342 and the isolation telescopic sleeve 1343 are fixed to the upper wall surface of the stepped tube 134, wherein the isolation The telescopic sleeve 1343 is a high-temperature resistant telescopic structure and is sleeved on the outside of the reset spring 1342. The wall surface of the stepped tube 134 is symmetrically provided with a plurality of T-shaped holes in a straight array from top to bottom along the tube diameter below the ball end of the ball rod 1341, and the internal sliding constraint of the T-shaped hole is provided with a step-variable spring rod 1344. The step-variable spring rod 1344 consists of a T-shaped rod and a spring fixed to the expanded end of the T-shaped rod, wherein the end of the T-shaped rod in contact with the ball rod 1341 is set to be hemispherical, the centrifugal end of the spring is fixed to the inner wall of the T-shaped hole, and the strength of the spring is set to increase from top to bottom. The lower end of the stepped tube 134 is fixed to the upper surface of the fixing ear 132 on the side of the adapter cap 133.

[0046] During the coating process of the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13, the internal metal droplets are thrown out through the centrifugal hole 1221 to form a wall hanging layer. When the accumulated weight reaches a predetermined weight, the gravity overcomes the elastic force of the variable-step spring rod 1344 and the return spring 1342, and moves downward along the inner wall of the stepped tube 134, falling onto the lower layer of the variable-step spring rod 1344, triggering the ball end support of the ball rod 1341, driving the entire sleeve to move downward along the wall of the lower guide tube 122, realizing the switching of the centrifugal area. The metal tube body finally formed can be removed from the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 as a whole by removing the bolts of the ball rod 1341 and the fixing ear 132, and then the internal tube body is separated by crushing or lubrication.

[0047] To sum up, by arranging the fixing ear 132, the ball rod 1341, the stepped tube 134 and the variable-step spring rod 1344 and other structures on the side of the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13, during the coating process, when the metal wall layer inside the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 reaches a predetermined weight, it will move downward as a whole to realize the switching of the centrifugal area. After the coating is completed, the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 can be easily removed by removing the bolts of the ball rod 1341 and the fixing ear 132, and the metal tube body formed inside can be dismantled to realize the recycling of materials. At the same time, it is also convenient to clean and maintain the equipment, thereby reducing production costs.

[0048] Working principle: In the arc ion plating equipment, first control the positioning rod 152 or lift the bearing changing frame 153 to move the bearing changing frame 153 upward, and then insert the workpieces to be plated one by one and place them on the lower spring seat 151, and then control the positioning rod 152 or release the bearing changing frame 153 to reset the bearing changing frame 153 and move it downward, and then the upper spring seat 154 will be inserted into the upper end of the workpiece, so that the workpiece can be positioned, and then the coating material (usually a metal or alloy target material) is installed on the cathode target, and then the door of the vacuum coating chamber 11 is closed, and the vacuum pump system is started to extract the air in the coating chamber to make the chamber reach a predetermined high vacuum state to avoid gas. The molecules of the body interfere with the coating process. When the vacuum degree reaches the requirement, high voltage is applied between the cathode target and the anode to form a strong electric field, which ionizes the residual gas molecules to produce plasma. At the same time, arc discharge is generated on the surface of the cathode target, causing the target atoms to evaporate and ionize. At the same time, the driving motor inside the arc ion plating body 2 cooperates with the speed-increasing gearbox (a combination structure of a large gear driving a small gear) to drive the gas guide screw rod 141 to rotate at high speed, and the rotating gas guide screw rod 141 will pull the metal vapor and metal droplets downward, causing the metal vapor and metal droplets to spiral downward at high speed along the inner wall of the downpipe 122. During the downward movement, they will pass through the centrifugal hole 1221, and then the metal droplets will The metal vapor is centrifugally thrown out from the centrifugal hole 1221 into the high-temperature crushing sleeve 13, and forms a metal wall layer under the action of the wall peak hole 131. The metal vapor after centrifugation will be transported by the gas guide screw rod 141 from the lower port of the lower guide tube 122 to the space between the workpieces positioned by the lower spring seat 151 and the upper spring seat 154. Then, the process gas is introduced as needed to react with the target material ions (if any). At this time, under the action of the electric field, the metal vapor (ions of the coating material) is accelerated to bombard the surface of the workpiece to be plated. In the process of bombarding the surface of the workpiece, part of the energy of the ions is transferred to the atoms on the surface of the workpiece, causing the surface atoms to migrate and rearrange. At the same time, the ions are automatically The film is deposited on the surface of the workpiece. At the same time, the driving gear 142 driven by the driving motor will engage the driven gear 1511, so that the driven gear 1511 drives the lower spring seat 151 to rotate, and then the rotating lower spring seat 151 will cooperate with the upper spring seat 154 to drive the workpiece to rotate at a uniform speed. Then, a uniform and dense film will gradually form on the surface of the workpiece. In addition, by controlling parameters such as arc current, voltage, coating time, vacuum degree and gas flow, the thickness, composition, structure and performance of the coating can be accurately controlled, so as to obtain high-quality films that meet different requirements on the surface of the workpiece, such as films with functions such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and decoration.

[0049] During the coating process of the workpiece, the interior of the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 will continue to have the situation of scraping the wall after the metal droplets are centrifuged. As the centrifugation of the metal increases, the thickness of the metal scraping wall in the same centrifugal area inside the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 will gradually increase. After reaching the predetermined scraping weight, the overall gravity of the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 will overcome the spring force of the step-changing spring rod 1344 and the return spring 1342, and move downward along the inner wall of the stepped tube 134, and finally fall on the step-changing spring rod 1344 of the lower layer, so that the step-changing spring rod 1344 supports the ball end of the ball rod 1341. The high temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 will move synchronously with the ball rod 1341 along the wall of the lower guide tube 122, so as to realize the replacement of the centrifugal wall hanging area, and finally a rough metal tube body will be formed inside the high temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13. After the metal tube body is formed, the high temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 and the ball rod 1341 can be separated by removing the connecting fixing bolts between the ball rod 1341 and the fixing ear 132 to remove the high temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 as a whole, and then the tube body inside the high temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 can be removed by crushing the high temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13, lubricating and removing it, etc.

[0050] It should be noted that the lower spring seat 151 can be set according to the shape of the workpiece to be plated; the upper and lower spacing between the variable-step spring rods 1344 is proportional to the distance that the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 moves downward, and the scraping area after each downward movement of the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 needs to be connected with the scraping area where scraping has been performed; the high-temperature resistant crushing sleeve 13 is made of stable high-temperature resistant materials related to metal smelting, casting, molding and other equipment.

[0051] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
