Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of film coating technology, and in particular to a film coating tool. Background Art

[0002] Electrochromic lenses are lenses made based on the principle of electrochromism. Users only need to change the input voltage of the electrodes on the electrochromic lenses to change the degree of coloring of the electrochromic lenses, so that the electrochromic lenses can adapt to usage scenarios with different ambient light intensities. In related technologies, UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass) is fixed to a substrate in a coating fixture by fixings to coat the UTG material to form a flexible electrochromic device. The coating layer on the UTG is uneven and non-uniform, with a low yield rate, and the resulting flexible electrochromic device has a poor color-changing effect. Summary of the invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a coating tool to address the problems that the coating layer on the existing UTG is uneven and non-uniform, the yield rate is low, and the flexible electrochromic device manufactured has poor color change effect.

In this process, by setting the flexible fixing part as a high-temperature resistant tape, it is avoided that the flexible fixing part melts and the viscosity decreases when the coating machine coats the coating substrate in a high-temperature environment, causing the coating substrate to fall from the carrier. In addition, since the flexible fixing part is elastic, when the coating substrate is a curved substrate, the flexible fixing part can undergo a certain deformation, better adapt to the surface of the curved substrate, and better contact with the surface of the curved substrate, so that the coating substrate is firmly attached to the carrier. After the coating machine coats the flexible workpiece, the coating layer of the flexible workpiece is flat and uniform, the yield rate is high, and the manufactured flexible electrochromic device has a good color change effect.

[0022] In the present embodiment, when the coating tool is working, the staff first places the coating substrate on the bearing surface, and the bearing surface and the elastic pressure claw assembly cooperate to fix the coating substrate to the bearing part. In this process, since the elastic pressure claw assembly has elasticity, when the coating substrate is a curved substrate, the elastic pressure claw assembly can undergo a certain deformation, better adapt to the surface of the curved substrate, and better contact with the surface of the curved substrate, so that the coating substrate is firmly attached to the bearing part.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The top view of the coating tool in one embodiment of the present application is shown. The coating tool provided in one embodiment of the present application includes: a base 100, a carrier 200 and a flexible fixing member 300. The carrier 200 is arranged on one side of the base 100, and the flexible fixing member 300 is arranged on the side of the carrier 200 away from the base 100. The flexible fixing member 300 is used to fix the coating substrate (not shown), and the flexible fixing member 300 is a high temperature resistant tape.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the coating tool is working, the staff sticks the coating substrate to the side of the flexible fixing member 300 away from the carrier 200, so that the coating substrate is fixed to the carrier 200, and then the coating machine can be used to coat the coating substrate. In this process, by setting the flexible fixing member 300 as a high temperature resistant tape, it is avoided that the flexible fixing member 300 melts and the viscosity decreases when the coating machine coats the coating substrate in a high temperature environment, causing the coating substrate to fall from the carrier 200. In addition, since the flexible fixing member 300 is elastic, when the coating substrate is a curved substrate, the flexible fixing member 300 can undergo a certain deformation, better adapt to the surface of the curved substrate, and better contact with the surface of the curved substrate, so that the coating substrate is firmly attached to the carrier 200. After the coating machine coats the flexible workpiece, the coating layer (not shown) of the flexible workpiece is flat and uniform, with a high yield rate, and the manufactured flexible electrochromic device (not shown) has a good color change effect.

[0039] It should be further explained that the flexible fixing member 300 can be optionally a high temperature resistant tape such as Teflon high temperature tape, high temperature masking tape, high temperature double-sided tape, PI tape, and CPI tape.

[0040] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the flexible fixing member 300 includes a first colloid layer 310, a second colloid layer 320 and an elastic layer 330. The first colloid layer 310 is arranged on a side of the carrier 200 away from the base 100, the second colloid layer 320 is arranged on a side of the first colloid layer 310 away from the carrier 200, and the elastic layer 330 is arranged between the first colloid layer 310 and the second colloid layer 320, and connects the first colloid layer 310 and the second colloid layer 320.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the coating tool is working, the staff first sticks the coating substrate to the second colloidal layer 320, and then sticks the second colloidal layer 320 to the elastic layer 330, and finally connects the elastic layer 330 to the carrier 200 through the first colloidal layer 310. Since the elastic layer 330 has a certain elastic force, when the coating substrate is a curved substrate, the elastic layer 330 can undergo a certain deformation and better adapt to the surface of the curved substrate, so that the second colloidal layer 320 is in good contact with the coating substrate, and then the coating substrate is firmly attached to the carrier 200. After the coating machine coats the flexible workpiece, the coating layer of the flexible workpiece is flat and uniform, with a high yield rate, and the manufactured flexible electrochromic device has a good color change effect.

[0042] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the coating tool further includes a support member 400 , the carrier 200 is connected to the support member 400 , and the support member 400 is movably connected to the base 100 to adjust the distance between the carrier 200 and the base 100 .

[0043] In this embodiment, when the coating tool is working, the staff fixes the base 100 and changes the distance between the carrier 200 and the base 100 through the support 400 to adjust the thickness of the coating layer on the coating substrate. For example, when the distance between the carrier 200 and the base 100 increases, the distance between the carrier 200 and the coating machine decreases, and the thickness of the coating layer formed on the carrier 200 by the coating machine increases. Conversely, the thickness of the coating layer formed on the carrier 200 by the coating machine decreases.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, an assembly hole 110 is provided on the base 100 , and the support member 400 is passed through the assembly hole 110 and threadedly engaged with the assembly hole 110 .

[0045] In this embodiment, when the coating tooling is working, the staff applies an external force F1, and the external force F1 drives the support member 400 to rotate relative to the assembly hole 110 along the axial direction of the assembly hole 110, so as to drive the carrier 200 connected thereto to move synchronously, thereby changing the distance between the carrier 200 and the base 100. Since the support member 400 is threadedly matched with the assembly hole 110, and the threaded match has the characteristic of one-way locking, when the external force F1 is removed and the support member 400 stops moving, the one-way locking function of the threaded match allows the support member 400 to be fixed in position in the assembly hole 110.

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, a plurality of assembly holes 110 are arranged at intervals on the base 100 , and a support member 400 is inserted into each assembly hole 110 .

[0047] In this embodiment, when the coating tooling is working, a plurality of assembly holes 110 are arranged at intervals on the base 100, and a support member 400 is inserted into each assembly hole 110, so that the carrier 200 can move more smoothly relative to the base 100 along the axial direction of the assembly hole 110. In addition, since a support member 400 is inserted into each assembly hole 110, when the coating machine contacts the coating substrate and applies pressure F2 to the coating substrate, the plurality of support members 400 are used to support the support member 400, thereby enabling the support member 400 to bear a greater pressure F2.

[0048] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A top view of a coating tool in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The coating tool provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: a base 100, a carrier 200 and an elastic pressure claw assembly 500. The carrier 200 is arranged on one side of the base 100. A bearing surface 210 is provided on the side of the carrier 200 away from the base 100. The bearing surface 210 is used to bear the coating substrate. The elastic pressure claw assembly 500 is arranged on the bearing surface 210. The elastic pressure claw assembly 500 is used to cooperate with the bearing surface 210 to fix the coating substrate.

[0049] In the present embodiment, when the coating tooling is working, the staff first places the coating substrate on the carrying surface 210, and the carrying surface 210 cooperates with the elastic pressure claw assembly 500 to fix the coating substrate to the carrying member 200. In this process, since the elastic pressure claw assembly 500 is elastic, when the coating substrate is a curved substrate, the elastic pressure claw assembly 500 can undergo a certain deformation, better adapt to the surface of the curved substrate, and better contact with the surface of the curved substrate, so that the coating substrate is firmly attached to the carrying member 200. After the coating machine coats the flexible workpiece, the coating layer of the flexible workpiece is flat and uniform, with a high yield rate, and the manufactured flexible electrochromic device has a good color change effect.

[0050] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the elastic pressure claw assembly 500 includes a connecting shaft 510 and an elastic pressure claw 520. One end of the connecting shaft 510 is connected to the supporting member 200, and the other end extends in a direction away from the supporting member 200. The connecting shaft 510 can rotate relative to the supporting member 200 along its own axial direction. One end of the elastic pressure claw 520 is connected to the connecting shaft 510, and the other end extends in a direction away from the connecting shaft 510. The extension direction of the elastic pressure claw 520 intersects with the extension direction of the connecting shaft 510.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the coating tooling is working, the staff first drives the connecting shaft 510 to rotate around its own axis, and the connecting shaft 510 drives the elastic pressure claw 520 to rotate relative to the carrier 200, and then places the coated substrate on the carrier surface 210, and makes the coated substrate contact with the side of the connecting shaft 510 close to the center of the carrier surface 210, and finally rotates the connecting shaft 510 until the elastic pressure claw 520 returns to the initial position, so that the elastic pressure claw 520 and the carrier surface 210 cooperate to fix the coated substrate to the carrier 200. In this process, since the elastic pressure claw 520 is elastic, when the coating substrate is a curved substrate, the elastic pressure claw assembly 500 can undergo a certain deformation, better adapt to the surface of the curved substrate, and better contact with the surface of the curved substrate, so that the coating substrate is firmly attached to the carrier 200. After the coating machine coats the flexible workpiece, the coating layer of the flexible workpiece is flat and uniform, with a high yield rate, and the manufactured flexible electrochromic device has a good color change effect.

[0052] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the coating tool further includes a support member 400 , the carrier 200 is connected to the support member 400 , and the support member 400 is movably connected to the base 100 to adjust the distance between the carrier 200 and the base 100 .

[0053] In this embodiment, when the coating tool is working, the staff fixes the base 100 and changes the distance between the carrier 200 and the base 100 through the support 400 to adjust the thickness of the coating layer on the coating substrate. For example, when the distance between the carrier 200 and the base 100 increases, the distance between the carrier 200 and the coating machine decreases, and the thickness of the coating layer formed on the carrier 200 by the coating machine increases. Conversely, the thickness of the coating layer formed on the carrier 200 by the coating machine decreases.

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, an assembly hole 110 is provided on the base 100 , and the support member 400 is passed through the assembly hole 110 and threadedly engaged with the assembly hole 110 .

[0055] In this embodiment, when the coating tooling is working, the staff applies an external force F1, and the external force F1 drives the support member 400 to rotate relative to the assembly hole 110 along the axial direction of the assembly hole 110, so as to drive the carrier 200 connected thereto to move synchronously, thereby changing the distance between the carrier 200 and the base 100. Since the support member 400 is threadedly matched with the assembly hole 110, and the threaded match has the characteristic of one-way locking, when the external force F1 is removed and the support member 400 stops moving, the one-way locking function of the threaded match allows the support member 400 to be fixed in position in the assembly hole 110.

[0056] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, a plurality of assembly holes 110 are arranged at intervals on the base 100 , and a support member 400 is inserted into each assembly hole 110 .

[0057] In this embodiment, when the coating tooling is working, a plurality of assembly holes 110 are arranged at intervals on the base 100, and a support member 400 is inserted into each assembly hole 110, so that the carrier 200 can move more smoothly relative to the base 100 along the axial direction of the assembly hole 110. In addition, since a support member 400 is inserted into each assembly hole 110, when the coating machine contacts the coating substrate and applies pressure F2 to the coating substrate, the plurality of support members 400 are used to support the support member 400, thereby enabling the support member 400 to bear a greater pressure F2.

[0058] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0059] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
