[0046] Working principle:
[0047] The cooling shaft 203, the adapter ring 204, the containing disc 206, the leaf plate 207, the first cooling groove 208, the load rod 210, the cleaning plate 211, the guide rail frame 212, the placing plate 213, the T-shaped block 214, the reset spring 215, the insertion block 216, the buffer spring 217, the U-shaped sliding plate 218, the U-shaped frame 219 and the second cooling groove 220 are used to place the containing disc 206 in cooperation with the placing plate 213 or directly to hang the product, so that the equipment is driven by the rotating motor 102 to rotate the cooling shaft 203 when working, so that the equipment can better perform the coating treatment on the surface of the product during sputtering. Further, the centrifugal force generated when the equipment rotates makes the U-shaped sliding plate 218 move outwardly in the U-shaped frame 219, so that the cleaning plate 211 protrudes outwardly, and the cleaning plate 211 performs a certain degree of cleaning treatment on the inner surface of the coating machine body 101, thereby improving the maintenance effect of the equipment to a certain extent. Further, the buffer spring 217 is extruded under the action of the centrifugal force, so that the U-shaped sliding plate 218 and the cleaning plate 211 can quickly return to the original position when the equipment stops rotating, and the elastic potential energy of the buffer spring 217 is used to offset the centrifugal force generated when the equipment works, so that the T-shaped block 214 is prevented from being displaced excessively, thereby preventing the product inside from colliding with the coating machine body 101 to a certain extent, thereby improving the protection of the equipment to a certain extent;
[0048] The gas storage box 301, the sealing plate 302, the partition plate 303, the servo motor 304, the drive gear 305, the arc-shaped tooth plate 306, the first connecting rod 307, the adjusting block 308, the second connecting rod 309, the extrusion spring 310, the fixed block 311, the deflection groove 312, the filter screen 313 and the rotating groove 314 are used to store argon in the gas storage box 301, when the equipment is filled with gas, the gas storage box 301 can be used to quickly discharge and fill the equipment, further, the partition plate 303 is used to separate the space in the coating machine body 101, during the preliminary vacuum extraction process, the pressure in the single side area of the partition plate 303 is reduced, then the servo motor 304 is used to drive the arc-shaped tooth plate 306 to rotate, so as to drive the sealing plate 302 to deflect, so that the two side areas are connected, so that the internal air is quickly discharged to the outside by the pressure difference, so as to improve the working efficiency of the equipment to a certain extent, and the filter screen 313 is used to filter the flowing air.
[0049] Embodiment two
[0050] With reference to Figure 3 - Figure 6 The difference between the embodiment one and the embodiment two is that the filter screen 313 is connected to the inner surface of the coating machine body 101 near the exhaust pipe 107, the drive gear 305 is fixedly connected to one end of the output shaft of the servo motor 304, and the arc-shaped tooth plate 306 is meshingly connected to one side of the drive gear 305, wherein the filter screen 313 is used to filter the flowing air, and the servo motor 304 is used to drive the deflection and stirring of the partition plate 303.
[0051] Further, the upper surface of the arc-shaped tooth plate 306 is rotationally connected with a first connecting rod 307, the end of the first connecting rod 307 away from the arc-shaped tooth plate 306 is rotationally connected with an adjusting block 308, the adjusting block 308 is rotationally connected with a second connecting rod 309, the other end of the second connecting rod 309 is also fixedly connected with the adjusting block 308, one side of the adjusting block 308 is fixedly connected with a compression spring 310, one side of the partition plate 303 is fixedly connected with a fixed block 311, one end of the compression spring 310 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 311, the arc-shaped tooth plate 306 and the adjusting block 308 are both fixedly connected with a sealing plate 302, the sealing plate 302 is rotationally connected in a rotating groove 314, and the arc-shaped tooth plate 306 and the adjusting block 308 are rotationally arranged in a deflection groove 312. The interior space of the coating machine body 101 is separated by the partition plate 303, the pressure inside the single-side region of the partition plate 303 is reduced during the preliminary vacuum extraction process, then the arc-shaped tooth plate 306 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 304 after a certain degree of reduction, thereby driving the sealing plate 302 to deflect, so that the two side regions are connected, and the internal air is quickly discharged to the outside by the pressure difference, thereby improving the working efficiency of the equipment to a certain extent.
[0052] Working principle: first, before starting work, the workpiece to be coated is installed on the placing plate 213, the semicircular protective frame 104 is closed, and it is tightly attached to the rubber sealing frame 105, so as to ensure that the interior of the coating machine body 101 is in a sealed state;
[0053] Subsequently, the vacuum extraction process is started, a plurality of groups of air extraction pipes 107 are connected with the external vacuum pump system and start to work, at this time, the key intermittent extraction unit 300 starts to work: the servo motor 304 is started, the output shaft of the servo motor 304 drives the driving gear 305 to rotate, the driving gear 305 is engaged with the arc-shaped tooth plate 306, the arc-shaped tooth plate 306 drives the sealing plate 302 to rotate to a vertical state through a series of connecting rod mechanisms such as the first connecting rod 307, the adjusting block 308 and the second connecting rod 309, so as to divide the internal chamber of the coating machine body 101 into two independent and sealed intervals;
[0054] The vacuum pump preferentially extracts air from one of the two divided intervals through the air extraction pipe 107, since the initial volume is reduced by nearly half by the partition plate 303, the vacuum degree in this interval is rapidly improved, this process greatly shortens the time required to reach the initial high vacuum, and lays a foundation for subsequent rapid high vacuum, and the filter screen 313 clamped at the inlet of the air extraction pipe 107 can effectively filter large particles of sputtering impurities carried in the extracted gas, preventing them from entering the external vacuum pipeline system;
[0055] Thirdly, when the vacuum degree of the partitioned interval which is preferentially pumped reaches a predetermined value, the servo motor 304 is started again to drive the two sealing plates 302 to rotate reversely and synchronously through the gear and connecting rod mechanism, so that the two sealing plates 302 change from the vertical sealing state to the horizontal or inclined open state, and the two previously isolated intervals are instantaneously connected;
[0056] Due to the huge pressure difference between the two intervals, the gas in the interval which has not been pumped will rapidly flow to the interval which has been in a high vacuum state under the action of the pressure difference. The flow speed of the gas driven by the pressure difference is much higher than the speed of direct pumping by the vacuum pump, which realizes the "instant" evacuation of the remaining gas. The external vacuum pump system continues to work, and finally the entire coating chamber quickly reaches the extremely high vacuum state required by the process. By controlling the action timing of the servo motor 304, the pressure difference when the chamber is connected can be accurately controlled, so as to realize fine and rapid regulation and control of the final vacuum degree and its establishment process, and to flexibly adapt to the needs of different coating processes.
[0057] Then, after the high vacuum is established, process gas such as argon is introduced into the chamber. The gas can be stored in the gas storage box 301 and injected as needed. The target excitation plate 205 works to generate plasma, sputter target atoms, and deposit them on the rotating workpiece surface to form a thin film. The rotating motor 102 is started to drive the cooling shaft 203 to rotate, and the cooling shaft 203 drives the leaf plate 207 fixedly connected to the outer surface thereof and the containing disc 206 fixed to the leaf plate by bolts to rotate together. The workpiece rotates with it to ensure the uniformity of the coating. The cooling liquid circulates in the communication loop formed by the first cooling groove 208 and the second cooling groove 220 to effectively cool the containing disc 206 and the workpiece rotating at high speed, suppress thermal effects, and improve coating quality and processing speed.
[0058] The centrifugal force acts on the T-shaped block 214 under the placement plate 213, and the T-shaped block 214 has a tendency to slide outward along the guide rail frame 212. This tendency is balanced by the pulling force of the return spring 215, so as to stabilize the workpiece at a predetermined radius position for coating, preventing it from being excessively offset due to centrifugal force and colliding with the inner wall of the chamber.
[0059] The U-shaped sliding plate 218 is arranged in the U-shaped frame 219 fixed on the load-bearing rod 210, and a plurality of buffer springs 217 are connected between the U-shaped sliding plate 218 and the U-shaped frame 219. Under the action of centrifugal force, the U-shaped sliding plate 218 overcomes the elastic force of the buffer springs 217 and slides in the U-shaped frame 219 towards the cavity wall direction, drives the front end of the cleaning plate 211 to protrude outward by the clamping block 216, and makes the cleaning plate 211 contact or keep a small gap with the inner surface of the coating machine body 101. With the continuous rotation of the containing disc 206, the cleaning plate 211 can scrape or clean the inner wall of the cavity, and the sputtering particle impurities attached to the inner wall are removed in time. When the equipment stops running, the centrifugal force decreases, and the restoring force of the buffer spring 217 pushes the U-shaped sliding plate 218 and the cleaning plate 211 to retract to the original position, and the reset spring 215 also pulls the T-shaped block 214 and the placing plate 213 back to the center initial position. This design realizes automatic cleaning during operation and automatic reset when the equipment stops, greatly reduces the maintenance frequency and the pollution of the cavity.
[0060] Finally, after the coating process is completed, the process gas is stopped, the rotating motor 102 is stopped, the cavity is ventilated through the exhaust pipe 107, the vacuum is destroyed, the semicircular protective frame 104 is opened, and the workpiece completed with coating can be taken out.
[0061] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
