Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of precision coating, and in particular to a multifunctional integrated multi-stage doctor blade coating device. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a classic coating technology, doctor blading has the advantages of simple equipment structure, high solution utilization rate, controllable coating process, and can be used for large size or large aspect ratio substrates, and is widely used for uniform coating of liquid or slurry (such as photoresist film layer, ink, adhesive, electrode slurry, functional coating, etc.) on the surface of substrates (such as quartz substrate, paper, film, metal foil, battery electrode, optical film, etc.).

[0003] The basic principle of doctor blading is to use a knife edge flat doctor blade to scrape over the surface of the moving substrate with a set gap (distance between the doctor blade and the substrate) and angle, to scrape off the excess coating solution, and leave a uniform coating layer of a predetermined thickness. Compared with wet coating methods such as spin coating, this method has simpler instrument structure, better process controllability and better substrate size and shape adaptability, and can reduce the solution scraped off the substrate by controlling the initial liquid amount, greatly improving the utilization rate of the solution.

[0004] However, with the increasing demand for coating quality in modern industry, especially in the fields of high-performance battery electrode coating, optical functional film preparation, and high-precision electronic material coating, the inherent limitations of traditional doctor blading are increasingly prominent. In the traditional doctor blading process, the core parameters that affect the coating quality usually need to be set before coating, and there is a lack of rapid response capability to transient changes such as periodic microstructure changes of the substrate and film fluctuations during coating, resulting in high scrap rate, large material waste, and limited production efficiency. At the same time, the traditional doctor blade itself does not have heating or cooling function, and cannot actively maintain or regulate the temperature stability of the solution in the coating area, especially in applications that require a specific temperature window (such as high temperature to reduce the viscosity of high viscosity solution, or low temperature to prevent solvent from evaporating too quickly). During the doctor blading process, the traditional doctor blade is greatly limited in terms of solution consumption and replenishment, and it is difficult to achieve precise and real-time replenishment or regulation of the solution in the three-phase contact line area of the doctor blade-substrate-solution, and it is difficult to form a stable meniscus, resulting in poor film coating effect. The direct liquid feeding method of slot coating will cause fluctuations and bubble entrainment in the three-phase line area of the coating center, and will also cause the problem of solution flow leveling not timely due to slot blockage.

[0005] Therefore, how to design a multifunctional doctor blade coating device that can adapt to the needs of various coating scenarios, control the morphology of the film, regulate the temperature, adjust the liquid film leveling performance, and solve the problem of solution consumption and replenishment, has become a key problem that needs to be solved in the film coating industry. This not only requires the device to improve the uniformity and interface stability of the doctor blade coating in the structural design, but also needs to integrate multiple control functions into the doctor blade body and realize real-time monitoring and dynamic intervention of the doctor coating process, in order to significantly improve the coating quality, stability and efficiency, and meet the increasingly stringent requirements of high-end manufacturing fields. SUMMARY

[0006] To solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present application designs a multifunctional integrated multi-stage doctor blade coating device that can perform real-time, active and multi-parameter coordinated regulation in the core action area of doctor coating (near the contact area between the doctor blade and the substrate).

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present application is as follows: a multifunctional integrated multi-stage doctor blade coating device, comprising a multi-stage doctor blade head, a heating vibration source, a vertical connecting rod, a horizontal connecting rod, a liquid supplementing device and a driving block;

[0008] The left and right ends of the multi-stage doctor blade head are fixedly connected with the lower ends of the vertical connecting rods on the left and right sides, respectively, and the left and right ends of the driving block are connected with the upper ends of the vertical connecting rods on the left and right sides, respectively; the driving block is connected with the driving device through a transmission mechanism to drive the multi-stage doctor blade head to move forward and backward; the heating vibration source is installed on the upper side of the multi-stage doctor blade head through a heat transfer gasket; the liquid supplementing device is fixedly connected with the vertical connecting rods on the left and right sides through the respective horizontal connecting rods on the left and right sides, and is located in front of the multi-stage doctor blade head.

[0013] Further, the two ends of the driving block are slidingly connected with the rack and move along the front and back directions of the rack.

[0014] Further, the lower end of the multi-stage doctor blade head has multiple doctor blade heads, the multiple doctor blade heads are arranged side by side along the front and back directions, and the lower edges of the multiple doctor blade heads are lowered from front to back in sequence to form a doctor blade gap which is gradually reduced.

[0015] Further, the multi-stage doctor blade head has at least three doctor blade heads, and the shapes of the doctor blade heads include trapezoidal, rectangular, triangular, semicircular and crescent shapes, which are selected according to different process requirements.

[0016] Further, the two sides of the upper part of the multi-stage doctor blade head are provided with inverted trapezoidal protrusions, the lower part of the vertical connecting rod is provided with inverted trapezoidal grooves, and the inverted trapezoidal protrusions are inserted into the inverted trapezoidal grooves.

[0017] Further, the upper part of the multi-stage doctor blade head is provided with a rectangular groove for installing the heating vibration source.

[0018] After the heating vibration source is powered on, the internal vibrator is driven to vibrate vertically, and the embedded micro heating element is heated, and the multi-stage doctor blade head is heated through the heat transfer pad.

[0019] The heat transfer pad is located between the heating vibration source and the multi-stage doctor blade head.

[0020] Further, the left and right sides of the liquid supplementing device are fixedly connected with the left and right horizontal connecting rods through connecting screws, and the horizontal connecting rods are connected with the vertical connecting rods through connecting screws.

[0021] The upper end of the liquid supplementing device has two liquid injection inlets, and the lower end has a liquid injection nozzle, and the tip of the liquid injection nozzle is flush with the position 1 mm above the bottom of the multi-stage doctor blade head.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0026] 1. When the substrate is coated by the doctor blade, the multi-stage doctor blade head can make the doctor blade gap decrease gradually, so that the meniscus height of the front end of the doctor blade decreases gradually, a smaller and more stable liquid level difference is formed between the liquid film of the front end and the rear end of the doctor blade, the liquid film thickness fluctuation caused by the change of the liquid level difference between the front end and the rear end of the doctor blade during the doctor blade coating process is reduced, and a more uniform and ideal thickness of the photoresist film is obtained.

[0027] 2. The heating vibration source arranged above the multi-stage doctor blade head can realize temperature control of the substrate doctor blade head and real-time control of the doctor blade vibration mode. By heating the doctor blade head, a high-temperature environment can be formed at the bottom of the doctor blade, the viscosity of the high-viscosity solution is reduced, and the solution is uniformly spread under the doctor blade.

[0028] 3. By controlling the vibration mode of the vibrator inside the heating vibration source, the doctor blade can be driven to vibrate vertically, and combined with the forward movement of the doctor blade under the driving of the motor, the bottom of the doctor blade can realize complex motion trajectories such as sinusoidal waveforms, so that when the substrate with periodic microstructure is coated, the liquid film above the microstructure is removed by matching the microstructure change of the blade tip trajectory.

[0029] 4. For the coating of a flat substrate, the periodic influence or corrugated liquid film defect caused by the environment can be controlled by the program control vibration mode, the periodic fluctuation of the liquid film is controlled in real time during the processing process, the liquid film fluctuation is resisted, and the corrugated defect of the liquid film is repaired. At the same time, through the damping adjustment structure on both sides of the driving block, the amplitude of the doctor blade can be further manually adjusted, and the influence of the doctor blade vibration on the driving block and the motor above can be reduced.

[0030] 5. This invention utilizes the curved nozzle structure at the bottom of the replenishing device to achieve precise liquid delivery to the meniscus of the doctor blade during the coating process. By controlling the liquid flow rate at the upper end of the replenishing device to adapt to different coating speeds, a stable solution pressure at the coating front end is obtained, avoiding solution consumption and pressure reduction that leads to film thinning during coating. Compared to slot coating, replenishing the meniscus of the doctor blade front end avoids fluctuations and air bubble entrapment in the coating center three-phase line region caused by direct liquid delivery. Furthermore, the problem of delayed solution leveling caused by slot blockage in slot coating can be buffered by precise liquid distribution at the meniscus of the doctor blade front end, allowing sufficient time for the solution to self-level through diffusion before coating, resulting in a more uniform liquid distribution effect.

[0059] The operation mode of the present application is as follows:

[0060] First, according to the characteristics of the coating solution 14 and the process requirements, the size and the number of stages of the multi-stage doctor blade head 1 are selected, the heat transfer pad 2 is placed in the rectangular groove above the multi-stage doctor blade head 1, and the heating source 3 is placed above the heat transfer pad 2.
