[0002] As the core equipment of modern precision manufacturing, vacuum coating equipment is widely used in optical coating, semiconductor packaging, decorative coating and functional film deposition fields, and its stable operation highly depends on efficient and accurate temperature control. The existing water cooling machine can improve the basic cooling performance by strengthening the efficiency of the heat exchanger and optimizing the compressor control, and undertake the core task of efficiently leading out the continuously accumulated heat load of key components such as the coating cavity, the magnetron target material and the vacuum pump set.
[0003] To this end, the present application designs a vacuum coating water cooling machine adopting a gas-liquid separation type cooling module. In order to avoid the mechanical damage caused by the liquid refrigerant rushing into the compressor, the existing water cooling machine mostly adopts a gas-liquid separator for simple gas-liquid separation. However, the separation effect is unstable, which leads to the problem that the separated gas still has oil mist and steam carrying. Moreover, when processing the high-speed airflow transported from the evaporator, the gas-liquid separator is subjected to a large load due to the mixing of large droplets and the entrainment of solid particles, which further affects the gas-liquid separation efficiency. At the same time, the traditional gas-liquid separator mostly adopts welding or custom flange connection. When expanding the vacuum coating production line and adding PVD chambers, it is difficult to meet the demand of rapid parallel connection of refrigeration units due to the rigid connection and difficulty in adaptation. Moreover, when connecting through custom flanges, it is also difficult to quickly connect different flanges, and the applicability needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0048] The water tank 2 is connected to the water-cooled plate heat exchanger 3 through a water pump, the evaporator 5 is connected to the water tank 2, the water-cooled plate heat exchanger 3 and the condenser 7 through a conveying pipe respectively, and the compressor 6 is also connected to the condenser 7 through a conveying pipe.
[0049] In specific implementation:
[0050] Firstly, the load reduction adjusting part 8 in the present application adopts a hierarchical processing mode, has the advantages of compact structure, small volume, low energy consumption, high efficiency, real-time processing, etc., can effectively reduce the load caused by mixed large droplets and entrained solid particles on the gas-liquid separator 4, and effectively increase the effect of gas-liquid separation, the quick release part 9 adopts a replaceable flange plate 91, has an anti-loosening function, meets the needs of quick parallel refrigeration units, and can also quickly butt joint different flange plates 91, is suitable for scenes such as mixed use of multiple equipment in a vacuum coating production line, high-frequency expansion reconstruction, butt joint of vibration-sensitive refrigeration units, etc.
[0051] It should be noted that the water tank 2, the water pump, the water-cooled plate heat exchanger 3 and the evaporator 5 in the present application form a water circulation closed loop system through a conveying pipe, and the compressor 6, the condenser 7, the external expansion valve, the evaporator 5 and the gas-liquid separator 4 form a refrigerant circulation closed loop system through a conveying pipe and a butt joint pipe, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0052] When installing the gas-liquid separator 4, first, the worker moves the flange plate 91 corresponding to the plurality of butt pipes on the gas-liquid separator 4 to the tail end of the butt pipe by screw rotation, at this time, the plurality of accommodation holes in the inner wall of the flange plate 91 are aligned with the corresponding optical axis segments on the outer wall of the butt pipe, and the plurality of abutting insertion rods 921 on the flange plate 91 are initially located in the corresponding bolt holes on the flange plate 91 under the action of the compression spring, and the insertion end of the abutting insertion rod 921 is initially retracted into the corresponding accommodation hole. When the gas-liquid separator 4 is placed in the appropriate position, the plurality of butt pipes on the gas-liquid separator 4 are respectively connected to the butt pipes on the evaporator 5 and the compressor 6 through the flange plate 91, and then the worker successively screws the mounting bolts into the bolt holes on the flange plate 91 for locking and installation. During this period, the mounting bolts will gradually be inserted into the corresponding bolt holes, pushing the corresponding abutting insertion rods 921 to retract the abutting end into the corresponding accommodation hole, and the insertion end extends out of the corresponding accommodation hole and is inserted into the corresponding clamping groove, thereby achieving the effect of further clamping the position between the flange plate 91 and the corresponding butt pipe through the plurality of abutting insertion rods 921, effectively preventing the flange plate 91 from loosening due to external vibration and other factors, and causing connection failure and leakage between the butt pipes.
[0053] When it is necessary to adapt the butt pipe with different specification flange plates 91, the worker successively removes the mounting bolts on the plurality of flange plates 91 on the gas-liquid separator 4, during which the corresponding abutting insertion rods 921 will be restored to their original positions under the action of the compression spring as the mounting bolts gradually exit the corresponding bolt holes. At this time, the abutting end of the abutting insertion rod 921 will again be located in the corresponding bolt hole on the flange plate 91, and the insertion end of the abutting insertion rod 921 will again be retracted into the corresponding accommodation hole, thereby achieving the effect of quickly releasing the clamping of the position between the flange plate 91 and the corresponding butt pipe by the plurality of abutting insertion rods 921. The worker can quickly connect different flange plates 91 and have an anti-loosening function, effectively improving the applicability of the gas-liquid separator 4.
[0054] When the gas-liquid separator 4 works, it is necessary to note that in this application, the high-temperature heat generated by the coating equipment is first directly absorbed by the water-cooled plate heat exchanger 3 to transfer the heat to the water circulating medium, and then the heated cooling water is output to the evaporator 5, which is a first heat exchange. The evaporator 5 uses the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant to deeply cool the medium-temperature cooling water output by the water-cooled plate to the set temperature, which is a second deep cooling, and outputs the low-temperature cooling water to the water tank 2. The water tank 2 sends the low-temperature cooling water to the water-cooled plate heat exchanger 3 through the water pump to realize a water circulation closed loop system.
[0055] The used refrigerant in the evaporator 5 will be converted into a high-speed gas flow in a gas-liquid state and input to the gas-liquid separator 4 through the butt joint pipe on the upper side of the outer wall of the gas-liquid separator 4. Since the high-speed gas flow transported from the evaporator 5 will mix with large droplets and entrain solid particles, when the high-speed gas flow enters the gas-liquid separator 4, it will be filtered through the multiple coarse filter holes on the liquid separation plate 84 and continue to be transported to the lower side of the gas-liquid separator 4, thereby realizing the preliminary interception of the mixed large droplets and entrained solid particles in the high-speed gas flow, reducing the load of the main separation area on the lower side of the gas-liquid separator 4, and avoiding the problem of easy blockage of the subsequent separation components. It is necessary to note that the large droplets intercepted on the liquid separation plate 84 will condense and drop down the spiral blade 821, and then spiral down to the telescopic separation plate 872 along with the spiral blade 821, and finally further filtered and refined through the multiple fine filter holes on the telescopic separation plate 872 to drop into the bottom liquid accumulation area in the gas-liquid separator 4. The high-speed gas flow filtered and screened by the liquid separation plate 84 will be reduced in flow rate and converted into a slow-speed gas flow.
[0056] When the slow-speed gas flow filtered preliminarily is transported to the spiral blade 821, the spiral blade 821 will force the slow-speed gas flow to do centrifugal cyclone motion to generate centrifugal force, so that the gas phase and the liquid phase with different densities in the slow-speed gas flow move relatively. The liquid will adhere to the inner wall of the gas-liquid separator 4 and also spiral down the spiral blade 821 to the telescopic separation plate 872 under the action of gravity to accumulate in the bottom liquid accumulation area in the gas-liquid separator 4, thereby realizing the effect of gas-liquid separation. At this time, the gas phase and a small amount of liquid phase not separated out in the slow-speed gas flow will be transported to above the telescopic separation plate 872 through the spiral blade 821.
[0057] When the slow-moving gas flow after gas-liquid separation is delivered above the telescopic separation plate 872, it should be noted that the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872 collectively form a umbrella-shaped flow guide plate. Under the guidance and filtering effect of the umbrella-shaped flow guide plate, the water droplets will be deposited downward due to their weight, and the gas will move upward. The gas phase in the slow-moving gas flow will move upward after contacting the upper end surface of the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872, and will be delivered to the bottom inlet of the gas phase discharge pipe 82, and the fine water droplets entrained in the slow-moving gas flow will be separated by the plurality of defoaming nets 822, so that the condensed larger water droplets sink onto the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872, and then the pure gaseous gas flow is discharged into the butt joint pipe at the upper end of the gas-liquid separator 4, and finally delivered into the compressor 6 to realize the refrigerant circulation closed loop system.
[0058] During this period, the liquid phase in the slow-moving gas flow will be filtered and separated through the fine filter holes on the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872, and will be condensed into water droplets and fall downward in the gas-liquid separator 4 to the bottom liquid accumulation area, thereby achieving the effect of secondary filtering of the mixed small droplets in the slow-moving gas flow by the inclined telescopic separation plate 872, further improving the droplet capture effect, avoiding the problem that the separated gas still contains oil mist and steam carried due to unstable separation effect, and the telescopic separation plate 872 can buffer the impact of the high-speed gas flow on the liquid accumulation at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 4, preventing the liquid accumulation from being mixed into the high-speed gas flow again.
[0059] It should also be noted that when the coating process suddenly changes from standby state to high-power sputtering / evaporation stage, due to the stepwise increase in thermal load, the response delay of the traditional temperature feedback loop causes the outlet temperature of the cooling water to increase instantaneously. At this time, the step change in sputtering / evaporation power will directly cause the flow of the slow-moving gas flow to change. Since the residence time of the slow-moving gas flow changes with the fluctuation of the inlet gas quantity, when the flow of the slow-moving gas flow is low, the servo motor control rotating shaft 83 is rotated, and the rotating shaft 83 drives the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872 to move downward synchronously through the threaded sleeve 86, reducing the flow angle / resistance, shortening the flow path to avoid excessive residence, and maintaining a reasonable pressure drop. When the flow of the slow-moving gas flow is high, the servo motor control rotating shaft 83 is reversely rotated, and the rotating shaft 83 drives the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872 to move upward synchronously through the threaded sleeve 86, increasing the flow angle / resistance, lengthening the flow path to reduce the flow velocity, increasing the residence time, and ensuring that the tiny droplets are fully settled. During the upward and downward movement of the threaded sleeve 86, the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872 will be adaptively telescoped to adjust the flow angle of the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872, thereby avoiding the problems of excessive residence time when the flow of the slow-moving gas flow is low, resulting in excessive efficiency, and insufficient residence time when the flow of the slow-moving gas flow is high, leading to incomplete gas-liquid separation.
[0060] When the distribution plate 84 needs to be cleaned, the rotating shaft 83 is rotated by the external servo motor control, the rotating shaft 83 drives the upper strong magnetic ring 851 to rotate, the upper strong magnetic ring 851 drives the magnetic sleeve 853 to rotate synchronously through magnetic attraction connection, the magnetic sleeve 853 drives the plurality of brush plates 854 to rotate synchronously to clean the upper end surface of the distribution plate 84, preventing the filtered large liquid drops and the entrained solid particles from blocking the plurality of coarse filter holes on the distribution plate 84, the filtered solid particles will slide from the arc-shaped inclined end of the distribution plate 84 to the horizontal end, at the same time, the rotating shaft 83 drives the lower strong magnetic ring 851 to move upward through threaded connection, the lower strong magnetic ring 851 drives the magnetic blocking plate 855 to move upward synchronously through magnetic attraction connection, until the upper end surface of the magnetic blocking plate 855 is tightly attached to the lower end surface of the distribution plate 84, so that the effect of sealing the distribution plate 84 is realized, at this time, the plurality of electromagnets 856 can be controlled to start working, under the action of the strong magnetic attraction of the plurality of electromagnets 856, the plurality of plugs 857 will exit from the inner wall of the smaller diameter side of the stepped hole to the inner wall of the larger diameter side, and approach the corresponding electromagnets 856 respectively, then the solid particles on the upper end of the distribution plate 84 are sucked out by the external vacuum pump connected by the collecting cover 858 for treatment, so that the effect of cleaning the distribution plate 84 is realized, after cleaning, the plurality of electromagnets 856 are controlled to stop working, under the action of the compression spring, the plurality of plugs 857 will restore to the original position and be inserted into the inner wall of the smaller diameter side of the stepped hole again for sealing, avoiding the problem of high-speed airflow leakage when the gas-liquid separator 4 works.
[0061] When the liquid refrigerant stored in the liquid accumulation area of the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 4 exceeds the predetermined high liquid level and needs to be discharged, it should be noted that during the gas-liquid separation process, as the liquid level of the liquid refrigerant stored in the liquid accumulation area of the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 4 gradually increases, under the action of the buoyancy of the buoyant plate 881, the buoyant plate 881 drives the sleeve 88 and the liquid blocking plate 882 to move upward along the rotating shaft 83 synchronously, until the liquid blocking plate 882 moves upward to the liquid accumulation area of the gas-liquid separator 4, then the liquid refrigerant flows into the liquid accumulation seat 81, and is pumped out by the external water pump through the docking pipe and transported into the evaporator 5, during which, as the liquid level of the liquid refrigerant stored in the liquid accumulation area of the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 4 gradually decreases and reaches the predetermined low liquid level, under the combined action of the tension of the tension spring and the buoyancy of the buoyant plate 881, the buoyant plate 881 drives the sleeve 88 and the liquid blocking plate 882 to move downward along the rotating shaft 83 synchronously, until the liquid blocking plate 882 moves downward to restore to the original position and block the inlet of the docking pipe of the liquid accumulation seat 81 again, so that the effect of automatically quantitatively discharging by cooperating the liquid level of the liquid refrigerant with the buoyant plate 881 and the liquid blocking plate 882 is realized, without the need for external driving to reduce equipment cost.
[0062] In summary, the present application has the following advantages:
[0063] The first advantage is that when the gas-liquid separator 4 is installed, the staff first moves the flange plate 91 to the tail end of the butt joint pipe by screw rotation, then the staff successively locks and installs the installation bolts in the bolt holes on the flange plate 91, so as to realize the effect of clamping the position between the flange plate 91 and the corresponding butt joint pipe through the plurality of resisting insertion rods 921, effectively prevent the flange plate 91 from loosening due to external vibration and other factors, and cause the connection between the butt joint pipes to be invalid and leak.
[0064] The second advantage is that when the butt joint pipe with different specifications of flange plate 91 needs to be adapted, the staff successively removes the installation bolts on the plurality of flange plates 91 on the gas-liquid separator 4, so as to realize the effect of quickly releasing the clamping of the position between the flange plate 91 and the corresponding butt joint pipe by the plurality of resisting insertion rods 921, and the staff makes the flange plate 91 separate from the butt joint pipe by screw rotation, and installs the same specification of flange plate 91 adapted on the tail end of the butt joint pipe by screw rotation. When the vacuum coating production line is expanded and the PVD chamber is added, the problem that the conventional welding or customized flange connection cannot meet the demand of quickly parallel refrigeration unit due to rigid connection and large adaptation difficulty can be avoided. Different flange plates 91 can be quickly connected and have the anti-loosening function, which effectively improves the applicability of the gas-liquid separator 4.
[0065] The third advantage is that the refrigerant used in the evaporator 5 will be converted into a high-speed gas flow in a gas-liquid state, and will be input into the gas-liquid separator 4 from the butt joint pipe on the upper side of the outer wall of the gas-liquid separator 4. After being filtered by the plurality of coarse filter holes on the liquid separation plate 84, it will continue to be transported to the lower side of the gas-liquid separator 4, so as to realize the effect of preliminarily intercepting the mixed large droplets and the entrained solid particles in the high-speed gas flow, reducing the load of the main separation area on the lower side of the gas-liquid separator 4, and avoiding the problem that the subsequent separation components are easily blocked.
[0066] The fourth advantage is that when the slowed gas flow separated by the gas-liquid separator is transported above the telescopic separation plate 872, the gas phase in the slowed gas flow will move upward after contacting the upper end faces of the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872, and the liquid phase in the slowed gas flow will be filtered and separated through the fine filter holes on the plurality of telescopic separation plates 872, and will condense into water droplets and fall downward in the liquid accumulation area at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 4, so as to realize the effect of twice filtering the mixed small droplets in the slowed gas flow through the inclined telescopic separation plate 872, further improve the droplet capture effect, avoid the problem that the separated gas still has oil mist and steam carrying due to unstable separation effect, and the telescopic separation plate 872 can buffer the impact of the high-speed gas flow on the liquid accumulation at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 4, and prevent the liquid accumulation from being mixed into the high-speed gas flow again.
[0067] Advantage five, when the low flow rate of the slow speed airflow, through the servo motor control rotating shaft 83 by the threaded sleeve 86 driven multiple telescopic separation plate 872 synchronous downward movement, reduce the flow angle / resistance, shorten the flow path to avoid excessive retention, maintain a reasonable pressure drop, when the high flow rate of the slow speed airflow, through the servo motor control rotating shaft 83 by the threaded sleeve 86 driven multiple telescopic separation plate 872 synchronous upward movement, increase the flow angle / resistance, prolong the flow path to reduce the flow rate, increase the residence time, to ensure that the small droplets are fully settled, so as to realize the effect of adjusting the flow angle of the multiple telescopic separation plate 872, avoid the problem of excessive residence time when the low flow rate of the slow speed airflow, resulting in the problem of surplus efficiency, and the problem of insufficient residence time when the high flow rate of the slow speed airflow, leading to the problem of incomplete gas-liquid separation.
[0068] Advantage six, when the need to clean the separation plate 84, by the servo motor control rotating shaft 83 rotation, multiple brush plate 854 synchronous rotation on the upper end surface of the separation plate 84 cleaning, prevent the filtered large droplets and entrained solid particles block the multiple coarse filter holes on the separation plate 84, at the same time the upper end surface of the magnetic plug plate 855 closely adhere to the lower end surface of the separation plate 84, so as to realize the effect of sealing the separation plate 84, at this time, the multiple electromagnet 856 can be controlled to start working, then by the vacuum pump connected with the collection cover 858, the solid particles on the upper end of the separation plate 84 are sucked out by the multiple stepped holes for processing, so as to realize the effect of cleaning the separation plate 84, after cleaning, the multiple electromagnet 856 can be controlled to stop working, the multiple plugs 857 will restore the original position and be inserted into the inner wall of the smaller side of the stepped hole again to block, avoiding the problem of high speed airflow leakage when the gas-liquid separator 4 works.
[0069] Advantage seven, with the gradual increase of the liquid level of the liquid refrigerant stored in the bottom liquid accumulation area of the gas-liquid separator 4, under the action of the buoyancy of the buoyancy plate 881, the buoyancy plate 881 will drive the sleeve 88 and the liquid blocking plate 882 to move upward along the rotating shaft 83, and the liquid refrigerant will flow into the liquid accumulation seat 81 through the butt joint pipe and be pumped into the evaporator 5. With the gradual decrease of the liquid level of the liquid refrigerant stored in the bottom liquid accumulation area of the gas-liquid separator 4, the buoyancy plate 881 will drive the sleeve 88 and the liquid blocking plate 882 to move downward along the rotating shaft 83, so as to realize the effect of automatic quantitative discharge by the cooperation of the buoyancy plate 881 and the liquid blocking plate 882 with the liquid level of the liquid refrigerant, without external driving to reduce the equipment cost.
