Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of coating machines, and in particular to a light-assisted flexible coating machine. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum coating machine is a specialized device that deposits a material (metal, compound, etc.) onto the surface of an object in the form of atoms or molecules in a vacuum environment to form a thin film. After coating, the coated workpiece needs to be irradiated with ultraviolet light to improve the coating effect.

[0003] However, during use, it was found that the existing coating machines have a relatively simple structure. After coating, the material needs to be removed from the coating machine and placed into equipment such as the curing device of a vacuum coating machine disclosed in patent CN209010595U and the curing mechanism of a vacuum coating UV varnish disclosed in patent CN219637332U for curing. During the transfer process, the risk of coating contamination is easily increased. In addition, some materials are flexible materials, and moving them before curing can easily cause the coating to crack, affecting the coating effect and resulting in poor practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a light-assisted flexible coating machine in which both flexible material and target material are installed in a coating mechanism, the target material is evaporated and deposited on the surface of the flexible material to form a coating, the coating on the flexible material is then photocured by a light-assisted mechanism, and after the equipment has been used for a long time, the residual deposits inside the coating mechanism are cleaned by a cleaning mechanism, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0005] The present invention provides a light-assisted flexible coating machine, comprising a coating mechanism; and further comprising: A light-assisted mechanism, installed in the coating mechanism, performs photocuring on the coating on flexible materials; The cleaning mechanism, installed in the coating mechanism, cleans the deposits in the coating mechanism; Both the flexible material and the target material are installed in the coating mechanism. The target material is evaporated and deposited on the surface of the flexible material to form a coating. Then, the coating on the flexible material is photocured by a light-assisted mechanism. After the equipment has been used for a long time, the residual deposits inside the coating mechanism are cleaned by a cleaning mechanism, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0006] Preferably, the coating mechanism includes a worktable, a work chamber, an ion evaporator, a vacuum pump, a filtration mechanism, an observation mechanism, and a conveying mechanism. The work chamber, ion evaporator, observation mechanism, and conveying mechanism are all installed on the worktable, and the ion evaporator, observation mechanism, and conveying mechanism are all located in the work chamber. The vacuum pump and filtration mechanism are all installed on the top of the work chamber. The target material is placed in the ion evaporator, and the flexible material is installed on the conveying mechanism. The vacuum pump evaporates the inside of the work chamber. The ion evaporator operates to evaporate the target material. At the same time, the conveying mechanism passes over the ion evaporator, causing the evaporated target material to be deposited onto the flexible material, thus completing the coating of the flexible material.

[0007] Preferably, the filtration mechanism includes a filter box, an air supply pipe, a guide pipe, a filter screen, a semiconductor refrigeration plate, and multiple sets of baffles. The filter box is mounted on the working box. A feed valve is located at the top of the filter box, and multiple drain valves are located at the bottom rear end of the filter box. A set of suction ports of the vacuum pump is connected to the interior of the filter box. The filter box is connected to the interior of the working box via the air supply pipe. The guide pipe is installed inside the filter box, and the filter screen is installed on the guide pipe. The semiconductor refrigeration plate is mounted on the top of the filter box, with its cooling end located inside the filter box and its heat dissipation end located outside the filter box. A heat sink is installed on the heat dissipation end of the semiconductor refrigeration plate. Multiple sets of baffles are mounted on the semiconductor refrigeration plate. On the cooling end of the thermoelectric cooling plate; the filtrate is poured into the filter box, and the liquid level is made to submerge the filter screen. Then, when the vacuum pump discharges the air in the working box, the air in the working box passes through the air supply pipe, filter screen, guide pipe and filter box in sequence, and is discharged by the vacuum pump. At the same time, the filtrate filters the impurities and deposits in the air discharged into the filter box through the air supply pipe. The air is then filtered a second time through the filter screen. After that, the air enters the guide pipe and rises, causing the filtrate to churn. The churning and falling filtrate performs a third filtration of the air. After passing through the guide pipe, the air is cooled by multiple sets of baffles through the thermoelectric cooling plate, and then the moisture in the air is condensed and dehumidified by multiple sets of baffles.

[0008] Preferably, the observation mechanism includes a camera, a drive motor, and a baffle. The camera and the drive motor are both mounted on the worktable, and the baffle is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor. The top of the camera is blocked by the baffle. When the operator needs to observe the coating process, the drive motor drives the baffle to rotate, moving the baffle away from the camera. The coating on the flexible material is then observed through the camera. After observation, the drive motor reverses its direction, causing the baffle to reset.

[0009] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a frame, a raw material shaft, a finished product shaft, a second drive motor, and a third drive motor. The frame is mounted on a workbench, and both the raw material shaft and the finished product shaft are rotatably mounted on the frame. Both the second and third drive motors are fixedly mounted on the frame, and the second and third drive motors provide power to the raw material shaft and the finished product shaft, respectively. The flexible material is rolled onto the raw material shaft, and one end of the flexible material is fixed to the finished product shaft. By turning on the second and third drive motors, the raw material shaft and the finished product shaft are made to run, allowing the flexible material to pass over the ion evaporator.

[0010] Preferably, the light-assisted mechanism includes a mounting plate, a light-transmitting cover, an ultraviolet lamp, a bracket, a partition, and a protective mechanism. The light-transmitting cover, the ultraviolet lamp, and the bracket are all mounted on the mounting plate, with the ultraviolet lamp located inside the light-transmitting cover. The partition is mounted on the worktable and located between the ion evaporator and the light-transmitting cover. The protective mechanism is mounted on the bracket to ensure the light transmittance of the light-transmitting cover. The light-transmitting cover is inserted into the work box, and the mounting plate is fixed to the work box. The ultraviolet lamp is turned on to cure the coating on the flexible material passing over the light-transmitting cover.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting plate is provided with a reflector, and the reflector is located below the ultraviolet lamp; the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp is reflected by the reflector, so that the ultraviolet light is concentrated above the light-transmitting cover, thereby improving the utilization rate of ultraviolet light.

[0012] Preferably, the protective mechanism includes a raw material shaft, a recovery shaft, two sets of drive motors, and a light-transmitting membrane. The raw material shaft and the recovery shaft are rotatably mounted on a bracket, and the two sets of drive motors are fixedly mounted on the bracket. The two sets of drive motors provide power to the raw material shaft and the recovery shaft, respectively. The light-transmitting membrane is rolled onto the raw material shaft, and the other end of the light-transmitting membrane passes around the light-transmitting cover and is fixed onto the recovery shaft. By operating the two sets of drive motors, the raw material shaft loosens the light-transmitting membrane, and the recovery shaft rolls up the light-transmitting membrane, preventing the accumulation of deposits on it from affecting the light transmission effect of the light-transmitting cover and the light-transmitting membrane.

[0013] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a spraying mechanism, a pressure tank, a float, a counterweight, an atomizer, a pressure regulating pipe, a pressure regulating valve, a connecting pipe, and a delivery pipe. The pressure tank is installed on the workbench, and a second inlet valve is installed on the top of the pressure tank. The float is located inside the pressure tank, the counterweight is installed at the bottom of the float, and the atomizer is installed on the top of the float. The weight of the counterweight keeps the atomizer below the liquid surface. The pressure regulating valve is installed on the pressure tank through the pressure regulating pipe, which is connected to the bottom of the pressure tank. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the inside of the pressure tank, and the other end is connected to another set of suction ports of the vacuum pump. A first solenoid valve is installed on the connecting pipe. The spraying mechanism is installed in the working chamber and is connected to the inside of the pressure tank through the delivery pipe, which is equipped with a second solenoid valve. During normal use, the inside of the working chamber is evacuated by the vacuum pump. The process involves coating the flexible material while simultaneously evacuating the pressure tank using a vacuum pump. After coating, the pressure inside the work chamber is restored to normal, the coated flexible material is removed, and a new flexible material is installed. The vacuum pump then operates to evacuate the work chamber, and the second solenoid valve on the delivery pipe opens, allowing some air from the work chamber to enter the pressure tank, thus improving the vacuuming efficiency. When cleaning is required, the cleaning agent is discharged into the pressure tank through the second inlet valve. The buoyancy of the float and the weight of the counterweight keep the atomizer below the liquid level. The atomizer then atomizes the cleaning agent. The solenoid valve on the delivery pipe is opened, allowing the atomized cleaning agent to pass through the spray mechanism and enter the work chamber for cleaning.

[0014] Preferably, the spraying mechanism includes a reducer, a drive motor, a winding shaft, a lifting rope, and a spray pipe. The reducer is fixedly installed in the working box, the drive motor is fixedly installed on the reducer, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the input end of the reducer. One end of the winding shaft is installed on the output end of the reducer, and the other end of the winding shaft is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the working box. The lifting rope is wound on the winding shaft, and the other end of the lifting rope is fixed to the spray pipe. The spray pipe is equipped with multiple sets of nozzles and is connected to a delivery pipe. When the drive motor is turned on, the spray pipe rises or falls in the working box through the reducer, the winding shaft, and the lifting rope. At the same time, the delivery pipe is turned on, so that the multiple sets of nozzles spray out atomized cleaning agent to continuously clean the inside of the working box.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The coating on flexible materials is photocured during the coating process, eliminating the need for transferring the flexible materials or other curing equipment; 2. During the coating process, a protective mechanism is used to ensure the light transmission effect of the light-transmitting cover, thereby ensuring the coating effect; 3. The equipment has a built-in cleaning structure, which makes it convenient to clean the deposits inside the equipment regularly. Attached Figure Description

The camera 11 and the drive motor 12 are both mounted on the worktable 1, and the baffle 13 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 12. The conveying mechanism includes a frame 14, a raw material shaft 15, a finished product shaft 16, a second drive motor 17, and a third drive motor 18. The frame 14 is mounted on the workbench 1. The raw material shaft 15 and the finished product shaft 16 are both rotatably mounted on the frame 14. The second drive motor 17 and the third drive motor 18 are both fixedly mounted on the frame 14, and the second drive motor 17 and the third drive motor 18 provide power to the raw material shaft 15 and the finished product shaft 16, respectively. The light-assisted mechanism includes a mounting plate 19, a light-transmitting cover 20, an ultraviolet lamp 21, a bracket 22, a partition 27, and a protective mechanism. The light-transmitting cover 20, the ultraviolet lamp 21, and the bracket 22 are all mounted on the mounting plate 19, with the ultraviolet lamp 21 located in the light-transmitting cover 20. The partition 27 is mounted on the workbench 1 and is located between the ion evaporator 3 and the light-transmitting cover 20. The protective mechanism is mounted on the bracket 22 to ensure the light transmittance of the light-transmitting cover 20. A reflector 28 is provided on the mounting plate 19, and the reflector 28 is located below the ultraviolet lamp 21; The protective mechanism includes a raw material shaft 23, a recovery shaft 24, two sets of drive motors 25, and a light-transmitting film 26. The raw material shaft 23 and the recovery shaft 24 are rotatably mounted on the bracket 22. The two sets of drive motors 25 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 22, and the two sets of drive motors 25 provide power to the raw material shaft 23 and the recovery shaft 24 respectively. The light-transmitting film 26 is rolled on the raw material shaft 23, and the other end of the light-transmitting film 26 passes around the light-transmitting cover 20 and is fixed on the recovery shaft 24. The target material is placed in the ion evaporator 3, and the flexible material is installed on the conveying mechanism. When the vacuum pump 4 discharges the air from the working chamber 2, the air in the working chamber 2 passes sequentially through the gas delivery pipe 6, filter screen 8, guide pipe 7, and filter box 5, and is then discharged by the vacuum pump 4. At the same time, the air discharged from the gas delivery pipe 6 into the filter box 5 is filtered by the filtrate, and then the air is filtered a second time by the filter screen 8. After that, the air enters the guide pipe 7 and rises, causing the filtrate to churn. The churning and falling filtrate then performs a third filtration of the air.

The target material is deposited onto the flexible material to complete the coating. Then, the light-transmitting cover 20 is inserted into the working box 2, fixing the mounting plate 19 to the working box 2.

Two sets of drive motors 25 operate, causing the raw material shaft 23 to loosen the light-transmitting film 26, and the recovery shaft 24 to roll up the light-transmitting film 26, preventing it from being damaged. The accumulation of deposits affects the light transmission effect of the light-transmitting cover 20 and the light-transmitting film 26, thereby completing the curing of the coating on the flexible material above the light-transmitting cover 20. When the operator needs to observe the coating process, the drive motor 12 drives the baffle 13 to rotate, so that the baffle 13 moves away from the camera 11, and then the camera 11 observes the coating on the flexible material.

The float 30 is located in the pressure tank 29, the counterweight 31 is installed at the bottom of the float 30, and the atomizer 32 is installed on the top of the float 30.

Below, the pressure regulating valve 34 is installed on the pressure tank 29 through the pressure regulating pipe 33, and the pressure regulating pipe 33 is connected to the bottom of the pressure tank 29. One end of the connecting pipe 35 is connected to the inside of the pressure tank 29, and the other end of the connecting pipe 35 is connected to another set of suction ports of the vacuum pump 4. A solenoid valve one is installed on the connecting pipe 35. The spraying mechanism is installed in the working box 2, and the spraying mechanism is connected to the inside of the pressure tank 29 through the delivery pipe 36. A solenoid valve two is installed on the delivery pipe 36. The spraying mechanism includes a reducer 37, a drive motor 38, a winding shaft 39, a lifting rope 40, and a spray pipe 41. The reducer 37 is fixedly installed in the working box 2. The drive motor 38 is fixedly installed on the reducer 37, and the output shaft of the drive motor 38 is connected to the input end of the reducer 37. One end of the winding shaft 39 is installed on the output end of the reducer 37, and the other end of the winding shaft 39 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the working box 2. The lifting rope 40 is wound on the winding shaft 39, and the other end of the lifting rope 40 is fixed to the spray pipe 41. The spray pipe 41 is provided with multiple sets of nozzles 42, and the spray pipe 41 is connected to the delivery pipe 36. The target material is placed in the ion evaporator 3, and the flexible material is installed on the conveying mechanism. When the vacuum pump 4 discharges the air from the working chamber 2, the air in the working chamber 2 passes sequentially through the gas delivery pipe 6, filter screen 8, guide pipe 7, and filter box 5, and is then discharged by the vacuum pump 4. At the same time, the air discharged from the gas delivery pipe 6 into the filter box 5 is filtered by the filtrate, and then the air undergoes a second filtration through the filter screen 8. After that, the air enters the guide pipe 7 and rises, causing the filtrate to churn. The churning and falling filtrate then performs a third filtration on the air. After passing through the guide pipe 7, the air is cooled by the semiconductor cooling plate 9 through multiple sets of baffles 10, and then the moisture in the air is removed by the multiple sets of baffles 10. The process involves condensation and dehumidification to create a vacuum inside the working chamber 2. The target material evaporates through the operation of the ion evaporator 3. Simultaneously, the drive motors 17 and 18 are activated, causing the raw material shaft 15 and finished product shaft 16 to move, allowing the flexible material to pass over the ion evaporator 3. This causes the evaporated target material to deposit onto the flexible material, completing the coating process. Afterward, the light-transmitting cover 20 is inserted into the working chamber 2, fixing the mounting plate 19 to it.

The recovery shaft 24 is opened to roll up the light-transmitting film 26, preventing the accumulation of deposits on it from affecting the light transmission effect of the light-transmitting cover 20 and the light-transmitting film 26. This completes the curing of the coating on the flexible material passing over the light-transmitting cover 20. In daily use, the vacuum pump 4 evacuates the inside of the working chamber 2 before coating the flexible material. Simultaneously, the vacuum pump 4 evacuates the inside of the pressure tank 29. After coating the flexible material, the inside of the working chamber 2 is restored to normal pressure. The coated flexible material is then removed and replaced with new flexible material. At this time, the vacuum pump 4 runs, evacuating the inside of the working chamber 2. Simultaneously, the solenoid valve 2 on the delivery pipe 36 opens, allowing some air from the working chamber 2 to enter the pressure tank. In the pressure tank 29, the vacuum efficiency of the working box 2 is improved. The working box 2 is evacuated by the vacuum pump 4. When the inside of the working box 2 needs to be cleaned, the cleaning agent is discharged into the pressure tank 29 through the feed valve 2 on the pressure tank 29. The buoyancy of the float 30 and the weight of the counterweight 31 make the atomizer 32 located below the liquid surface. The cleaning agent is atomized by the operation of the atomizer 32. The drive motor 5 38 is turned on, and the spray pipe 41 is driven by the reducer 37, the winding shaft 39 and the lifting rope 40 to make the spray pipe 41 rise or fall in the working box 2. At the same time, the delivery pipe 36 is turned on, so that multiple sets of nozzles 42 spray out the atomized cleaning agent to continuously clean the inside of the working box 2, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0021] The main functions achieved by this invention are: 1. The coating on flexible materials is photocured during the coating process, eliminating the need for transferring the flexible materials or other curing equipment; 2. During the coating process, a protective mechanism is used to ensure the light transmission effect of the light-transmitting cover 20, thereby ensuring the coating effect; 3.
