[0003] During the vacuum coating process, the dust on the surface of the coil to be coated needs to be removed.
[0004] At present, vacuum coating cleaning technology mainly bombards the workpiece. The electrode generates plasma to bombard high voltage, medium frequency, radio frequency, etc. to clean the surface of the coil to be coated. However, the current cleaning method is difficult to control the energy during cleaning, and a large amount of heat will be generated, which not only affects the appearance of the coil (thermal deformation), but also reduces the energy utilization rate. The cleaning effect on the surface of the coil is not good, and there is still floating dust remaining, which reduces the adhesion of the film. Therefore, we need to propose a cleaning structure for coil coating. Utility Model Content
