[0048] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a vacuum drying system 100, which comprises a support 10, a heating device 20 and a vacuumizing device 30. The heating device 20 is movably mounted on the support 10 and has a heating plane 21 for placing a substrate; the vacuumizing device 30 is mounted on the support 10 and located above the heating device 20, and the vacuumizing device 30 comprises an air outlet pipeline 31 and an air suction mechanism 32 with a plurality of first air suction ports 3211. One end of the air outlet pipeline 31 is configured as an air inlet end 3111 and communicates with all the first air suction ports 3211. All the first air suction ports 3211 are arranged towards the heating plane 21, and the length of the flow channel formed between each first air suction port 3211 and the air inlet end 3111 is equal.
[0049] The heating plane 21 and the vacuumizing device 30 can jointly form a closed chamber, and the closed chamber is provided with a substrate and used for vacuumizing and heating the substrate.
[0050] The support 10 is used to support the heating device 20 and the vacuum device 30. The connection between the heating device 20 and the support 10 can be, but is not limited to, a sliding connection or a snap-fit connection. The heating device 20 is used in conjunction with the vacuum device 30 to dry the substrate together, thereby accelerating the drying process.
[0051] When the substrate is placed on the heating plane 21 and the heating plane 21 moves to the position to be evacuated, air is drawn out by the vacuuming device. The exhaust pipe 31 is used to collect the gas drawn out by the vacuuming mechanism 32 and discharge the drawn gas in a concentrated manner. The flow channels formed between each first suction port 3211 and the inlet end 3111 of the vacuuming mechanism 32 are independently arranged, and the length of each flow channel is equal. The gas transported therein converges at the inlet end 3111 and is then concentratedly transported through the exhaust pipe 31. The shape of the first suction port 3211 can be, but is not limited to, circular or hexagonal.
[0052] After a coating (such as perovskite) is applied to the substrate, the vacuum drying system 100 can operate on it. The substrate is first placed on the heating plane 21 of the heating device 20, with the coated surface of the substrate facing away from the heating plane 21. The heating device 20 then begins to heat the substrate. Subsequently, the heating device 20 moves along the support 10 towards the vacuum pump 30 until the heating plane 21 reaches a preset position. The heating plane 21 and the vacuum pump 30 together form a sealed chamber, with the coated surface of the substrate directly opposite the first air extraction port 3211 of the vacuum pump 30. The vacuum pump 30 begins to extract air from the sealed chamber, creating a vacuum chamber. Simultaneously heating the substrate during vacuuming accelerates the crystal nucleation rate of the perovskite coating.
[0053] Secondly, because the first evacuation port 3211 is positioned directly opposite the perovskite coating on the substrate, it can accelerate the speed at which the sealed chamber is evacuated and also accelerate the crystal nucleation rate of the titanium dioxide coating.
[0054] Furthermore, since the lengths of the flow channels formed between each first air extraction port 3211 and the air inlet end 3111 are equal, the air extraction rate of each first air extraction port 3211 is the same, and the negative pressure applied to the substrate during air extraction is equal. That is, the pressure on each part of the substrate is as consistent as possible, which improves the film uniformity of the perovskite coating on the substrate.
[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, all the first air extraction ports 3211 are distributed on the same horizontal plane and are all connected to the air inlet end 3111. All the first air extraction ports 3211 are constructed into a honeycomb structure on the same horizontal plane, and the length of the flow channel formed between each first air extraction port 3211 and the air inlet end 3111 is equal.
[0056] Each hole (first air outlet 3211) of the honeycomb structure can form an air isolation layer, which can maintain the stability of the vacuum environment during the vacuumizing process. Moreover, regarding each first air outlet 3211 and the corresponding flow channel as a unit, each unit can uniformly disperse external force, reduce the probability of local deformation of the air extraction mechanism 32, and improve the impact resistance of the air extraction mechanism 32. In addition, the honeycomb structure can also reduce the weight of the air extraction mechanism 32 itself.
[0057] As shown in Figure 3 In some embodiments, the air extraction mechanism 32 is located below the air outlet pipeline 31 and includes a plurality of air extraction pieces, all of which are stacked and each is provided with an opening penetrating through itself, and adjacent two air extraction pieces are in fluid communication through the corresponding openings of themselves. The opening of the air extraction piece located at the bottom layer is configured as the first air outlet 3211, and the opening of the air extraction piece located at the top layer is in communication with the air inlet end 3111. From the air inlet end 3111 to the first air outlet 3211, the number of openings corresponding to each air extraction piece gradually increases.
[0058] Exemplarily, the number of air extraction pieces is two. For ease of description, the air extraction piece located at the bottom layer is named as the bottom layer air extraction piece, and the air extraction piece located at the top layer is named as the top layer air extraction piece. The top layer air extraction piece and the bottom layer air extraction piece are in communication through the openings provided in themselves to extract the air around the substrate to the air outlet pipeline 31. The number of openings of the top layer air extraction piece is less than that of the bottom layer air extraction piece. Each opening of the top layer air extraction piece is in communication with an equal number of openings on the bottom layer air extraction piece to uniformly distribute the gas passing through the top layer air extraction piece and the bottom layer air extraction piece.
[0059] In this way, the flow rate of the fluid passing through each opening of the bottom layer is as consistent as possible, and the negative pressure formed is also as equal as possible. In addition, the number of openings provided in the bottom layer is increased as much as possible to extract the air at the same rate from as many parts of the substrate as possible, thereby improving the film uniformity of the perovskite coating on the substrate.
[0060] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, all air extraction pieces include a first air extraction piece 321, a second air extraction piece 322 and a third air extraction piece 323 stacked from the first air outlet 3211 to the air inlet end 3111. The openings provided in the second air extraction piece 322 are configured as the second air outlet 3221, and the number of the third air extraction pieces 323 is multiple. The openings provided in each third air extraction piece 323 are configured as the third air outlet 3231.
[0061] Each third gas extraction port 3231 is in communication with an equal number of second gas extraction ports 3221 to uniformly distribute the gas passing through all the second gas extraction ports 3221, and each second gas extraction port 3221 is in communication with an equal number of first gas extraction ports 3211 to uniformly distribute the gas passing through all the first gas extraction ports 3211.
[0062] For example, the number of third gas extraction members 323 is eight, and each third gas extraction member 323 is provided with one third gas extraction port 3231. The second gas extraction member 322 is divided into eight regions, and each region is provided with four second gas extraction ports 3221. Each region corresponds to one third gas extraction member 323, and all the second gas extraction ports 3221 in each region are in communication with the same third gas extraction port 3231.
[0063] The first gas extraction member 321 is also divided into eight regions to correspond to the eight regions of the second gas extraction member 322. However, each region of the first gas extraction member 321 is divided into four sub-regions corresponding to a single second gas extraction port 3221 in each region of the second gas extraction member 322, and each sub-region is provided with four first gas extraction ports 3211.
[0064] When the gas passes through the first gas extraction member 321, the second gas extraction member 322, and the third gas extraction member 323, it can be sequentially distributed and decompressed. In this way, more first gas extraction ports 3211 can be provided as much as possible while ensuring that the negative pressure formed at the first gas extraction port 3211 meets the demand, so that the gas at different parts of the substrate can be extracted through different first gas extraction ports 3211, thereby improving the film uniformity of the perovskite coating on the substrate.
[0065] It should be noted that the first gas extraction member 321, the second gas extraction member 322, and the third gas extraction member 323 can be connected by screwing, clamping, or other connection methods that are easy to disassemble and assemble, so as to reduce the installation difficulty of the first gas extraction member 321, the second gas extraction member 322, and the third gas extraction member 323, and reduce the maintenance cost of the gas extraction mechanism 32.
[0066] Further, in some embodiments, all the third gas extraction members 323 are arranged in an array.
[0067] In this way, all the third gas extraction ports 3231 collectively form a structure similar to a honeycomb structure, which improves the impact resistance of the third gas extraction member 323 while allowing the single third gas extraction member 323 to be removed.
[0068] Further, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 all the second gas extraction ports 3221 collectively form a honeycomb structure.
[0069] In this way, the impact resistance of the second gas extraction member 322 provided with the second gas extraction port 3221 is improved.
[0070] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first suction port 3211, the second suction port 3221 and the third suction port 3231 have the same structure and are all configured as a cone.
[0071] For example, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the bottom of the cone is square, the bottom is close to the substrate, the top of the cone is circular, and the angle of the inner wall of the cone is 150°. In this way, the gas inlet area of the gas inlet side of the suction port is increased, and the extracted gas can be compressed, thereby improving the suction speed.
[0072] Specifically, in some embodiments, from the gas inlet end 3111 to the first suction port 3211, the opening area of the third suction port 3231, the second suction port 3221 and the first suction port 3211 gradually decreases.
[0073] In this way, along the direction from the gas inlet end 3111 to the first suction port 3211, as many suction ports as possible are arranged on each suction member to align with different parts of the substrate, thereby uniformly extracting the gas from each part of the substrate.
[0074] More specifically, in some embodiments, the opening area decreases in proportion, and the proportion ranges from 0.6 to 0.8.
[0075] In this way, the suction effect of each suction port is not affected, and the next layer of suction ports can be uniformly distributed.
[0076] As shown in Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the gas outlet pipeline 31 includes a main pipeline 311, a plurality of first branch pipelines 312 and a plurality of second branch pipelines 313, all the first branch pipelines 312 are connected between the main pipeline 311 and the second branch pipeline 313, and the main pipeline 311 is divided, the end of the main pipeline 311 away from the first branch pipeline 312 is provided with a gas inlet end 3111, and the end of each first branch pipeline 312 away from the main pipeline 311 is connected with an equal number of second branch pipelines 313, the end of the second branch pipeline 313 away from the first branch pipeline 312 is in communication with the third suction port 3231 and one-to-one correspondence.
[0077] The first branch pipeline 312 is used to divide the gas flowing through the gas outlet pipeline 31, and the second branch pipeline 313 is used to divide the gas flowing through the first branch pipeline 312.
[0078] For example, in Figure 3In the shown example, the number of first branch pipes 312 is two, and the number of second branch pipes 313 is eight. One end of each first branch pipe 312 is in communication with the main pipe 311, and the other end is in communication with four second branch pipes 313. The four second branch pipes 313 are in communication with the third suction port 3231 of the corresponding third suction member 323.
[0079] In this way, the flow path length and route between each first suction port 3211 and the intake end 3111 are defined by the corresponding branch pipes, and the air flow passing through the second suction member 322 and the third suction member 323 is sequentially divided, so as to better perform the flow division and pressure division.
[0080] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the suction mechanism 32 further comprises a gas supplement assembly 324, which is installed on the first suction member 321 and disposed on the same side as the first suction port 3211.
[0081] The gas supplement assembly 324 is used to release gas to the substrate. When the suction mechanism 32 extracts the air around the perovskite coating of the substrate, the environment around the coating is extracted into a vacuum environment. Then, the gas supplement assembly 324 is started to inject gas into the above-mentioned vacuum environment. The gas blown by the gas supplement assembly 324 can form a stable and uniform air flow area in the vacuum environment, avoiding the generation of local vortex phenomenon, thereby adjusting the pressure balance in the vacuum environment, optimizing the thin film deposition environment, and ensuring the stability of the thin film deposition process, thereby improving the quality and uniformity of the thin film crystallization.
[0082] Further, as shown in Figure 4 In some embodiments, the gas supplement assembly 324 comprises a transverse pipe 3241 and a longitudinal pipe 3242, and the plane formed by the transverse pipe 3241 and the longitudinal pipe 3242 is parallel to the horizontal plane on which the first suction port 3211 is distributed. The transverse pipe 3241 and the longitudinal pipe 3242 are each provided with a gas supplement port along the respective extension direction.
[0083] For example, in Figure 4In the shown example, the air supplement assembly 324 includes three lateral pipes 3241 and five longitudinal pipes 3242. All the lateral pipes 3241 are parallel and spaced apart, and all the longitudinal pipes 3242 are also parallel and spaced apart. The lateral pipes 3241 and longitudinal pipes 3242 arranged at the periphery of the substrate form a shape similar to the outer contour of the substrate, and the remaining lateral pipes 3241 and longitudinal pipes 3242 are arranged at the middle region of the substrate to divide the substrate into multiple regions. The air outlets on the lateral pipes 3241 and longitudinal pipes 3242 are arranged corresponding to different regions, so that the gas flowing out of the air outlets can be uniformly distributed in each region of the substrate, thereby further improving the quality and uniformity of the thin film crystallization.
[0084] Further, as shown in some embodiments, the air supplement assembly 324 further includes pressure regulating members 3243 installed at at least one end of each lateral pipe 3241 and longitudinal pipe 3242 along the respective extension direction. Figure 3
[0085] In other words, each lateral pipe 3241 and longitudinal pipe 3242 can be provided with a pressure regulating member 3243 (such as a precision pressure regulating valve) at one end, or can be provided with a pressure regulating member 3243 at both ends of the pipe, so as to more accurately regulate the internal pressure of each pipe, thereby regulating the gas pressure blown out of the air outlet, and further improving the gas flow in the vacuum environment.
[0086] In some embodiments, the first air pumping member 321 is recessed to form a recess, and the lateral pipes 3241 and longitudinal pipes 3242 are arranged in the recess.
[0087] When performing the vacuum pumping operation on the substrate, at least part of the substrate can be located in the recess, i.e. the surface of the substrate coated with the perovskite coating is located in the recess. In this way, the substrate and the groove wall of the recess together form a sealed chamber (as described above), and after the sealed chamber is pumped to vacuum, the lateral pipes 3241 and longitudinal pipes 3242 are contained in the sealed chamber, which facilitates timely air supplement of the lateral pipes 3241 and longitudinal pipes 3242 into the vacuum chamber.
[0088] In this way, by improving the structure of the first air pumping member 321 to cooperate with the substrate to form a vacuum chamber during vacuum pumping, the stability of the environment for performing the vacuum pumping operation on the substrate is improved.
[0089] Secondly, referring again to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the air outlet pipe 31 is further provided with a vacuum angle valve 40, a vacuum butterfly valve 50, and a motor. The opening angle of the vacuum butterfly valve 50 is controlled by the motor to adjust the air pumping flow. The on-off of the air outlet pipe 31 is controlled by the vacuum angle valve 40.
[0090] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , in some embodiments, the heating device 20 comprises a heating assembly 22 having a heating plane 21 and a jacking assembly 23 located below the heating assembly 22 and movably connected with the support 10, the jacking assembly 23 being capable of pushing the heating assembly 22 to rise.
[0091] The jacking mechanism can comprise a servo motor, a ball screw and a material detection sensor. The servo motor and the ball screw are drivingly connected, and the ball screw is further connected with the heating assembly 22. The material detection sensor is installed on the heating assembly 22 and is used to detect whether the substrate is placed on the heating plane 21. When the material detection sensor detects the substrate, it sends a signal to the servo motor, and the servo motor operates according to the received signal to drive the ball screw to operate, thereby driving the heating assembly 22 to move towards the first air exhaust member 321, and further driving the substrate to move towards the first air exhaust member 321 until the heating assembly 22 moves to the preset position.
[0092] In this way, the flexibility of movement of the heating device 20 is improved, and the heating device 20 is facilitated to carry the substrate to move to the preset position.
[0093] As shown in Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the heating assembly 22 comprises a shell 221 and a heating member 222, the shell 221 has a cavity therein, the heating member 222 is arranged in the cavity, the top surface of the shell 221 is configured as the heating plane 21, and the bottom of the shell 221 is in contact with the jacking assembly 23.
[0094] For example, the heating member 222 is configured as a heating pipe, and 25 heating pipes are uniformly distributed in the shell 221. All the heating pipes can be matched with a thermocouple and a temperature controller to achieve precise temperature regulation. Among them, the heating plane 21 of the shell 221 can be made of high-strength steel, and the remaining parts can be made of high-temperature resistant materials. Because steel itself has a low thermal expansion coefficient and a high rigidity strength, when the internal temperature of the cavity rises to 150-200℃, the surface of the shell 221 will not expand due to heat or deform due to insufficient rigidity. In this way, the fit between the heating plane 21 and the substrate and the temperature consistency of each region can be ensured.
[0095] In addition, the parts of the shell 221 other than the heating plane 21 can block the temperature, which can reduce the heat loss in the cavity, speed up the drying speed of the perovskite coating on the substrate, provide a better crystallization environment for the perovskite coating, and improve the crystallization speed and quality of the coating.
[0096] Further, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , in some embodiments, the heating device 20 further comprises a second air exhaust member 322, the second air exhaust member 322 is arranged on the heating plane 21, and the second air exhaust member 322 is arranged on the heating plane 21.As shown, in some embodiments, the shell 221 is provided with a through hole, and the top pin 231 of the jacking assembly 23 penetrates through the through hole and supports the substrate.
[0097] Since the substrate is large in size and is prone to breakage, a carrying robot is generally used to support the substrate and carry the substrate. When the substrate needs to be transferred to the heating plane 21, the top pin 231 of the jacking assembly 23 penetrates through the through hole and is arranged to protrude relative to the heating plane 21, and at this time, the support surface formed by all the top pins 231 is arranged to be spaced apart from the heating plane 21, thereby forming a space for the carrying robot to insert, so as to transfer the substrate to the top pin 231.
[0098] Subsequently, when the heating element 222 in the shell 221 starts to operate, the temperature in the cavity rapidly rises, heat is transferred to the heating plane 21 and to the substrate located above the heating plane 21, so as to heat the substrate. Then, under the driving of the jacking assembly 23, the heating assembly 22 carries the substrate and moves towards the first air extraction element 321, and performs vacuum extraction on the substrate.
[0099] When the perovskite coating on the substrate is dried and transferred to the next station, the top pin 231 can be lowered and hidden in the cavity of the shell 221, so as to reduce the probability of collision between the top pin 231 and other components, thereby protecting the top pin 231 from damage.
[0100] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 In some embodiments, the vacuum extraction device 30 further comprises a vacuum pump assembly 33, and the vacuum pump assembly 33 comprises a plurality of vacuum pumps 331 and vacuum pipes 332. Each vacuum pump 331 is in communication with the air outlet pipe 31 through a corresponding vacuum pipe 332, and the lengths of the corresponding vacuum pipes 332 of the vacuum pumps 331 are equal.
[0101] For example, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The vacuum pump assembly 33 comprises eight high-power dry screw vacuum pumps 331. Each vacuum pump 331 is in communication with the air outlet pipe 31 through an equal-length vacuum pipe 332, so that the paths of the vacuum pumps 331 to the air outlet pipe 31 are equal, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the extraction pressure and air flow.
[0102] The number of simultaneously operated vacuum pumps 331 can be determined according to actual conditions to achieve different extraction efficiencies. For example, the pressure in the sealed cavity is extracted to 1 Pa within 3 seconds, the pressure in the sealed cavity is extracted to 5 Pa within 3 seconds, and the pressure in the sealed cavity is extracted to 20 Pa within 2 seconds.
[0103] In addition, in some embodiments, the air extraction mechanism 32 is provided with a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure value in the sealed cavity.
[0104] The state of the sealed chamber is monitored in real time by the value detected by the pressure sensor, and different vacuum extraction effects and pressure values can be obtained by adjusting the distance between the substrate and the first air outlet 3211, so as to be studied.
[0105] Of course, the air extraction mechanism 32 can also be provided with a vacuum gauge, which is used in cooperation with the pressure sensor to obtain more accurate data.
[0106] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictory, they should be considered as the scope of the description.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are all within the protection scope of the present application.
