Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of conductive film production and relates to a vacuum evaporated film material evaporation structure. Background Art
[0002] Conductive film is a polymer material with metal coated on the surface. It is widely used in lithium-ion batteries, and is mainly used as a battery current collector in lithium-ion batteries. Vacuum coating is a common method for preparing conductive films. The vacuum coating method is to first place the film material in a vacuum coating chamber, heat and evaporate the film material through an evaporation source, and the evaporated film material particles escape from the surface of the evaporation source and condense on the surface of the substrate to form a film. Vacuum coating is usually resistive heating. The evaporation boat is clamped between the positive and negative electrodes, and the material to be evaporated is placed in the evaporation boat. After the electrodes are connected to the current, the current flows through the evaporation boat to heat the evaporation boat to evaporate the material to be evaporated.
[0003] In the existing vacuum evaporation device, the evaporation boat provides high-temperature heating. The long-term high temperature makes the service life of the evaporation boat significantly lower than that of the electrode. In order to maintain the normal evaporation of the film material, the evaporation boat needs to be replaced frequently. However, the installation and disassembly of the evaporation boat in the existing evaporation boat clamping device is inconvenient, which will waste a lot of time in the process and reduce production efficiency. On the other hand, the evaporation boat working at high voltage and current has poor contact with the electrode, which will easily damage the evaporation boat, thereby shortening the life of the evaporation boat. If the existing evaporation electrode is installed on the electrode hole of the cooling plate, a gap is likely to be left between the evaporation electrode and the electrode hole. During the evaporation process, part of the evaporation material will condense in the gap. For example, during the evaporation of aluminum, aluminum slag will be deposited in the gap between the evaporation electrode and the electrode hole of the cooling plate. If it is not cleaned in time, the deposited aluminum slag will cause conductivity between the electrode and the cooling plate, thereby causing holes to appear on the evaporated aluminum film, affecting product quality.

[0035] In one embodiment, the fixed column 5301 is connected to the movable plate 520 via a linear bearing. The support shaft 540 is also connected to the movable plate 520 via a linear bearing. The central axis of the fixed column 5301 and the support shaft 540 are parallel to the moving line of the positive electrode seat 200. The use of a linear bearing to sleeve the movable plate 520 on the fixed column and the support shaft 540 is conducive to reducing the friction between the movable plate 520 and the fixed column and the support shaft 540, so that the position movement of the movable plate 520 depends largely on the deformation of the compression spring 5303, reducing structural losses, and helping to extend the service life of the compression spring 5303.
[0036] In one embodiment, a second limit block 5304 is provided on the fixed column 5301 between the movable plate 520 and the evaporation tank 100, and the second limit block 5304 is used to limit the movable distance of the movable plate 520 toward the negative electrode holder 300, so as to prevent the external force from pushing the movable plate 520 to damage the negative electrode holder 300.
