Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0057] As Figures 1-11The film forming device of the transparent conductive film is shown, which comprises a feeding base 1, a storage frame 21, a limiting side stop 22, a feeding belt 3, a switching stop 41 and a processing base 61. The storage frame 21 is arranged on the feeding base 1, and a plurality of substrates 10 are stacked on the inner side of the storage frame 21. A storage opening 211 is formed on one side of the storage frame 21, and one end of the substrate 10 extends out of the storage opening 211. The limiting side stop 22 is arranged on one side of the corresponding storage opening 211 of the storage frame 21, and is used to limit the substrate 10 from separating from the storage frame 21. The feeding belt 3 is rotationally arranged on the feeding base 1. A first belt falling groove 11 is formed on the top of the feeding base 1, and a belt passing hole 12 is formed on one side of the feeding base 1 and is in communication with the first belt falling groove 11. The feeding belt 3 passes through the belt passing hole 12 and is located on the inner side of the first belt falling groove 11, and is used to transport the substrate 10. A plate outlet hole 212 is formed between the adjacent two sides of the storage frame 21 and is in communication with each other. The plate outlet hole 212 is in communication with the storage opening 211 and the bottom of the storage frame 21, and is used for the substrate 10 to pass out. The height of the substrate 10 is H1, the hole height of the plate outlet hole 212 is H2, H1 < H2 < 2H1, and the width of the feeding belt 3 is less than the width of the substrate 10. The switching stop 41 is rotationally arranged on the feeding base 1 and is located on one side of the storage frame 21, and is used to selectively shield the substrate 10 in the transport direction of the feeding belt 3. The processing base 61 is arranged on one side of the storage frame 21, and the feeding belt 3 extends to the inside of the processing base 61. The processing base 61 is used for sputtering and plating the substrate 10.

[0058] In specific implementation, the groove wall of the first belt falling groove 11 is misaligned with one side of the stacked substrate 10 in the height direction. One side of the feeding base 1 is provided with a first motor for driving the feeding belt 3 to rotate, and a second motor for driving the switching stop 41 to rotate. The processing base 61 is provided with a plating sputtering source 82 for sputtering and plating the substrate 10.

[0059] In the embodiment, the plurality of substrates 10 are stacked in the inside of the storage frame 21, and the switching block 41 is controlled to rotate to shield the lowermost substrate 10, and the storage process of the plurality of substrates 10 is completed. At this time, the plurality of substrates 10 are limited by the limiting side block 22, and are stably stored in the inside of the storage frame 21. The lowermost substrate 10 is not shielded by the limiting side block 22, and is moved outward by a distance under the conveying action of the feeding belt 3. At this time, the lowermost substrate 10 is not completely separated from the storage frame 21, and still supports the substrate 10 above it and is shielded by the switching block 41. The switching block 41 is controlled to rotate to be separated from the lowermost substrate 10, the lowermost substrate 10 is sent out by the feeding belt 3 and moves towards the processing seat 61. After the lowermost substrate 10 is sent out to be separated from the storage frame 21, at this time, the second substrate 10 moves downward to be attached to the feeding belt 3 and is sent out by a distance. The switching block 41 is controlled to rotate to reset, and the switching block 41 shields the next substrate 10. When the substrate 10 is conveyed to the processing seat 61 by the feeding belt 3, the sputtering and plating process of the substrate 10 is carried out at the processing seat 61. The above steps are repeated, so that the sputtering and plating process of the plurality of substrates 10 is completed one by one.

[0060] The film forming device of the transparent conductive film of the application can stack and store the plurality of substrates 10 by setting the storage frame 21 in cooperation with the limiting side block 22. The lowermost substrate 10 is moved out from the plate hole 212. The hole height of the plate hole 212 is greater than the height of one substrate 10 and less than the height of two substrates 10, so that the lowermost substrate 10 can still shield and limit the second substrate 10 below after being sent out by the feeding belt 3 for a distance. The plurality of substrates 10 can still be stably stacked and stored in the inside of the storage frame 21 in cooperation with the storage frame 21. The width of the feeding belt 3 is less than the width of the substrate 10, so that the switching block 41 can still shield and limit the substrate 10 when the feeding belt 3 conveys the substrate 10. The feeding belt 3 is located in the first falling groove 11, so that the top surface of the feeding seat 1 can support the substrate 10 at the same time when the feeding belt 3 conveys the substrate 10, thereby increasing the conveying stability of the substrate 10. Therefore, the film forming device of the application can conveniently convey and sputter and plate the plurality of substrates 10 one by one, and is convenient to use.

[0065] By arranging the plurality of storage soft pads 43 between the substrates 10, the plurality of substrates 10 can be prevented from contacting each other during the stacking storage in the storage frame 21, and the abrasion of the substrate 10 during the falling process is further prevented.

[0066] Further, a first telescopic component 51 and a supporting plate 52 are further included, wherein one side of the storage frame 21 is provided with a connecting hole 213, the connecting hole 213 is communicated to the bottom of the storage frame 21, the hole height of the connecting hole 213 is H3, H1

[0069] The end of the substrate 10 extends out of the storage opening 211, which facilitates the positioning of the substrate 10 by the limiting side baffle 22, and facilitates the positioning of the substrate 10 at the center position, so that the connecting gap 214 can be stably formed between the substrate 10 and the storage soft pad 43, and the deformation of the storage soft pad 43 is prevented due to the extrusion of the substrate 10 to the root of the storage soft pad 43, and the normal falling of the substrate 10 is prevented by the storage soft pad 43, and the use is facilitated.

[0070] The bottom supporting soft pad 44 is also included, which is arranged inside the storage frame 21 and located on the side of the storage frame 21 away from the supporting plate 52, the bottom end of the bottom supporting soft pad 44 extends out of the plate hole 212, and the opposite sides of the bottom supporting soft pad 44 are in contact with the two substrates 10.

The heater 62 is arranged as an extension of the feeding belt 3, and since the width of the feeding belt 3 is smaller than the width of the substrate 10, the heater 62 can heat the substrate 10 from both sides of the feeding belt 3, and the use is facilitated.

[0074] As a preferred implementation, the first side clamping plate 71, the second side clamping plate 72 and the stop block 73 are further included, wherein the machining pedestal 61 is arc-shaped at opposite ends in the conveying direction of the feeding belt 3, and the machining pedestal 61 is provided with a first sliding slot 612 and a second sliding slot 613, the first sliding slot 612 is arranged adjacent to the second sliding slot 613, the second sliding slot 613 bypasses the arc-shaped end of the machining pedestal 61 and is connected to the upper and lower sides of the machining pedestal 61; the first side clamping plate 71 is slidingly connected with the first sliding slot 612, the second side clamping plate 72 is slidingly connected with the second sliding slot 613, and the first side clamping plate 71 and the second side clamping plate 72 are used for clamping the substrate 10; the stop block 73 is arranged on the machining pedestal 61 and is used for shielding the second side clamping plate 72 in the sliding direction of the second side clamping plate 72.

By clamping the substrate 10, the stability of the position of the substrate 10 is improved, which facilitates the sputtering coating process of the substrate 10.

[0077] The first side clamping plate 71 and the second side clamping plate 72 are arranged as an extension of the feeding belt 3.
