Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vacuum coating equipment, and in particular to a cooling and protection mechanism for a vacuum electroplating machine. Background Art
[0002] The vacuum coating machine can complete the coating of the product under a high vacuum degree. Before electroplating the electroplated product, first adjust the parameters such as the evaporation source temperature, vacuum degree, and deposition layer thickness of the vacuum plating machine, and select the coating material as needed. Then put the metal product on the plating turntable in the vacuum plating machine to create a high vacuum environment, and use the electroplating wire to heat the selected coating material to the condensation point to form a metal material in vapor form. The evaporated metal material is brought to the surface of the product through the electric field effect to deposit and form a uniform coating. The construction can be repeated as many times as needed to achieve the desired thickness of the coating. However, in the process of heating the coating material with the electroplating wire, when the coating material forms a vapor form, the cooling of the electroplating wire is often natural cooling, resulting in too slow cooling of the electroplating wire, which will reduce the service life of the electroplating wire over a long period of time. In this way, the electroplating wire needs to be replaced regularly, which increases the electroplating cost of the product and brings a bad user experience. Utility Model Content
