Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of film coating, in particular to a cylinder of a vacuum chamber and a vacuum chamber. Background Art
[0002] In the field of film coating, magnetron sputtering is an important technology. Magnetron sputtering coating technology is an efficient physical vapor deposition method that creates a magnetic field near the sputtering target, bends the path of electrons, increases the probability of collision between electrons and gas atoms, and thus increases the ionization rate of the gas, thereby generating more ions, increasing the sputtering rate of the target, and improving the uniformity and adhesion of the film layer.
[0003] In magnetron sputtering coating technology, the commonly used gas atom is argon (Ar). During the sputtering process, argon as a sputtering gas can provide the necessary ions to bombard the target material (i.e., coating material or target cathode), thereby causing the target atoms or molecules to sputter out from the surface and deposit on the substrate (substrate), thereby forming a thin film on the substrate (substrate) surface. In the related art, vacuum equipment is usually used to provide a vacuum environment for magnetron sputtering coating. When there are multiple magnetron targets in a coating chamber, a baffle is required to eliminate cross-contamination between the magnetron targets; the baffle can be driven manually, electrically, or pneumatically; because the magnetron target needs to swing its head, the baffle also needs to be driven with the swinging head, otherwise the function of the baffle cannot be realized. Due to the limitation of the sealing form, a cylinder structure is usually used to drive the movement of the baffle. However, the existing cylinder cannot effectively block the gas inside the cylinder during operation, which easily causes the gas in the cylinder to enter the vacuum equipment. Utility Model Content

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0044] In magnetron sputtering coating technology, the commonly used gas atom is argon (Ar). During the sputtering process, argon, as a sputtering gas, can provide the necessary ions to bombard the target material (i.e., coating material or target cathode), thereby causing the target atoms or molecules to sputter out from the surface and deposit onto the substrate (substrate), thereby forming a thin film on the surface of the substrate (substrate). In the related art, a vacuum chamber is usually used to provide a vacuum environment for magnetron sputtering coating. The vacuum environment is defined as a vacuum chamber, in which a support for carrying a workpiece, a fixture for placing the target material, and other structures are provided. In order to improve the operability of components such as the target material and the workpiece during the coating process, a cylinder can be used to drive the structure located in the vacuum chamber. When gas (usually compressed air) enters one end of the cylinder, the gas will exert pressure on the piston, pushing the piston to move to the other end. The cylinder in the related art is usually sealed with a piston ring or a gasket, but the applicant has found that the air tightness of the piston ring and the gasket is greatly reduced after repeated use. During the operation of the cylinder, the piston ring and the gasket cannot effectively block the gas inside the cylinder. The gas entering the cylinder easily flows out of the cylinder through the gap between the piston ring, the gasket and the piston rod, causing the compressed gas to enter the vacuum chamber. In case of severe leakage, the air pressure in the vacuum equipment will suddenly increase, causing the molecular pump to malfunction or be damaged, and may even cause an explosion; in case of slight leakage, the ion beam (gas atoms) will be disturbed by air molecules (the ion beam can maintain a higher energy and speed in a vacuum and bombard the target surface more effectively), thereby affecting the quality of the film layer and even causing the film layer to fail to form.
[0045] For this reason, please see Figure 1 to Figure 2The utility model provides a cylinder 100 for a vacuum chamber, the cylinder 100 comprising a cylinder body 110, a cylinder head 111, a piston 120, a push rod 130 and a bellows 140. The cylinder body 110 comprises a front end cover 160 and a rear end cover 170, and the cylinder body 110 is further provided with an accommodating chamber 113. Specifically, the front end cover 160, the rear end cover 170 and the side wall 112 jointly define the accommodating chamber 113. The cylinder further comprises a cylinder head 111, which is fixed to the cylinder body 110. The cylinder head 111 is provided with a guide hole 1111 communicating with the accommodating chamber 113, and the guide hole 1111 is used for guiding the push rod 130. The cylinder head 111 has a built-in positioning hole 1113, and the positioning hole 1113 is used for positioning the elastic member 150. The cylinder head 111 is further provided with a guide hole 1112, and the guide hole 1112 is used for exhausting the gas in the cavity 141. The piston 120 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 113, and the piston 120 is configured to be able to contact the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 113. In some embodiments, the piston 120 is fitted with the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 113 with a clearance, and there is no need to seal the piston 120, thereby improving the service life of the piston 120 and the smoothness of the movement. One end of the push rod 130 is integrally processed with the piston 120, and the other end is penetrated through the guide hole 1111 and protrudes from the cylinder head 111. The push rod 130 is configured to be able to move with the piston 120. The end of the push rod 130 away from the piston 120 can be connected to an external structure, so that the push rod 130 can drive the external structure to move when the piston 120 moves. One end of the bellows 140 is welded to the side of the piston 120 close to the push rod 130, and the other end is welded to the cylinder head 111. The bellows 140 is sleeved on the part of the push rod 130 located in the accommodating chamber 113, thereby sealing the push rod 130. The bellows 140 is configured to be able to expand or contract with the movement of the piston 120. Therefore, when the push rod 130 moves with the piston 120, the gas in the cylinder 100 cannot flow out of the guide hole 1111 with the movement of the push rod 130 due to the obstruction of the bellows 140, thereby reducing the probability of the gas in the cylinder 100 leaking into the vacuum chamber 10. It should be noted that the cylinder 100 can also be used in other equipment with a vacuum environment, including but not limited to vacuum coating equipment, crystal oscillator equipment, etc.
[0046] See also Figure 2 The side wall 112 includes a first wall 1121 and a second wall 1122, the first wall 1121 and the second wall 1122 are arranged along the movement direction of the piston 120, the first wall 1121 protrudes toward the accommodating cavity 113 compared to the second wall 1122, and a portion of the end surface of the first wall 1121 facing the second wall 1122 forms a limiting portion 1123, and the piston 120 is configured to be able to move toward the direction close to the cylinder head 111 until the piston 120 abuts against the limiting portion 1123. The setting of the limiting portion 1123 can limit the movement stroke of the piston 120, and prevent the piston 120 from being too close to the cylinder head 111 and causing damage to the bellows 140.
[0047] The cylinder cover 111 is provided with a guide hole 1112, the bellows 140 has a cavity 141, the guide hole 1112 is connected to the cavity 141, and the guide hole 1112 is configured to discharge the air in the cavity 141. In some embodiments, the vacuum chamber 10 is provided with a vacuum cavity, and the cylinder 100 is disposed in the vacuum cavity. After the workpiece and other components are set in place, the vacuum cavity is evacuated. Since the cavity 141 can be connected to the vacuum cavity through the guide hole 1112, the cavity 141 can also be evacuated synchronously with the vacuum cavity, thereby avoiding the air in the cavity 141 from leaking into the vacuum cavity to affect the formation and quality of the film layer, and reducing the probability of the target material being contaminated.
[0048] The cylinder 100 further includes an elastic member 150, which is disposed in the accommodating chamber 113. One end of the elastic member 150 is connected to the piston 120, and the other end is connected to the cylinder head 111. The elastic member 150 is configured to drive the piston 120 to move away from the cylinder head 111. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The elastic member 150 includes but is not limited to a spring. The setting of the elastic member 150 is conducive to increasing the stability of the cylinder 100 and preventing the cylinder 100 from shaking during transportation or operation. In addition, when the piston 120 moves toward the cylinder head 111, the elastic member 150 can absorb the kinetic energy of the piston 120 and convert it into a rebound force, thereby playing a buffering role and preventing the cylinder 100 system from being damaged.
[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , the bellows 140 has a cavity 141, the elastic member 150 is located in the cavity 141, and the elastic member 150 is sleeved on the push rod 130, one end of the bellows 140 is welded to the piston 120, and the other end is connected to the cylinder head 111. In other embodiments, the elastic member 150 is sleeved on the inner side of the bellows 140, and one end of the elastic member 150 is connected to the piston 120, and the other end is connected to the cylinder head 111. In some other embodiments, the elastic member 150 is located in the accommodating cavity 113 and the elastic member 150 is arranged outside the cavity 141, one end of the elastic member 150 is welded to the piston 120, and the other end is connected to the cylinder head 111. The cylinder 100 can be provided with a plurality of elastic members 150, each of which is arranged around the circumference of the bellows 140. The material used for the elastic member 150 includes but is not limited to carbon steel, and the surface of the elastic member 150 has a coating, so as to prevent the elastic member 150 from rusting and affecting the performance of the elastic member 150 .
[0050] The cylinder 100 includes a front end cover 160 disposed in the accommodating chamber 113, and a bellows 140 is welded to one end of the front end cover 160 away from the cylinder head 111, and the front end cover 160 is connected to the cylinder body 110. Specifically, the front end cover 160 is annular, and includes an inner ring wall and an outer ring wall. In some embodiments, the outer ring wall of the front end cover 160 abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 113. To facilitate the installation and positioning of the front end cover 160, a clamping portion is provided at one end of the cylinder body 110 close to the cylinder head 111, and the diameter of the clamping portion is greater than the diameter of the accommodating chamber 113, and the side of the front end cover 160 away from the cylinder head 111 can abut against the clamping portion. The front end cover 160 can be connected to the cylinder body 110 by welding, and the front end cover 160 can also be connected to the cylinder body 110 by a threaded fastener. In other embodiments, the front end cover 160 can be connected to the cylinder head 111. The connection between the front end cover 160 and the cylinder head 111 can be welding or threaded fasteners. The front end cover 160 can also be integrally formed with the cylinder head 111. To facilitate the assembly of the cylinder head 111 to the cylinder body 110, in some embodiments, the cylinder head 111 has a guide ring, which is arranged around the guide hole 1111. The guide ring is configured to be inserted into the inner wall of the front end cover 160, and the push rod 130 can be inserted into the guide ring.
[0051] See also Figure 2 , a protrusion 121 is provided on the side of the piston 120 close to the cylinder head 111, and one end of the bellows 140 close to the piston 120 is welded to the protrusion 121. The provision of the protrusion 121 is conducive to the welding operation of the bellows 140. In some embodiments, the front end cover 160 is also provided with a protrusion, and one end of the bellows 140 can be welded to the protrusion. In the process of welding the bellows 140 to the piston 120, the bellows 140 needs to be clamped and fixed to prevent the bellows 140 from shaking during the welding process, which may cause welding difficulties or even welding failure. Therefore, the provision of the protrusion 121 is conducive to the clamping and fixing of the bellows 140.
[0052] The cylinder 100 further includes a rear end cover 170, and the rear end cover 170 is provided with an air hole 171, and the air hole 171 is configured to allow air to be introduced into the accommodating chamber 113 or to discharge the air in the accommodating chamber 113. It should be noted that the air introduced into the accommodating chamber 113 is compressed air. Specifically, when air is introduced into the accommodating chamber 113 through the air hole 171, the piston 120 can move toward the direction close to the cylinder head 111 under the action of the compressed air. When the push rod 130 moves to a specified position, the piston 120 can move toward the direction close to the rear end cover 170 under the action of the elastic member 150, and the compressed air in the accommodating chamber 113 is discharged through the air hole 171. In order to facilitate the introduction and discharge of gas, an air guide pipe 172 is inserted into the air hole 171.
[0053] The second aspect of the present invention further provides a vacuum chamber 10, which includes a cylinder 100 described in any of the above embodiments. Figure 3 to Figure 4 , a moving part 200 that performs linear motion is provided in the vacuum chamber 10, and a baffle 300 is also provided in the vacuum chamber 10, and the baffle 300 is used to shield the moving part 200 or expose the moving part 200, and the cylinder 100 is configured to be able to drive the baffle 300 to move. Among them, the baffle 300 and the cylinder 100 are arranged in the vacuum chamber 10, and the vacuum chamber 10 is configured as a vacuum environment. The cylinder 100 is configured to be able to drive the baffle 300 to move to shield the moving part 200 (target material) or expose the moving part 200. The cylinder 100 drives the baffle 300 to shield the moving part 200, thereby isolating the sputtering gas from the moving part 200, and preventing the sputtering gas from acting on the moving part 200. When the cylinder 100 drives the baffle 300 to expose the moving part 200, the sputtering gas can act on the moving part 200.
[0054] See also Figure 3 The cylinder 100 includes an output end 180 and an input end 190. The output end 180 is configured as an end of the cylinder 100 close to the cylinder head 111, and the input end 190 is configured as an end of the cylinder 100 away from the cylinder head 111. The output end 180 is arranged in the vacuum chamber 10. Due to the arrangement of the bellows 140, the output end 180 can isolate the push rod 130 from the accommodating chamber 113, so that the gas in the accommodating chamber 113 will not flow into the vacuum chamber 10 through the guide hole 1111 as the push rod 130 moves. The input end 190 is arranged outside the vacuum chamber 10, so the probability of air leakage into the vacuum chamber 10 is further reduced. In some embodiments, a seal is arranged at the input end 190, so that the cylinder 100 can also be accommodated in the vacuum chamber 10. Specifically, the cylinder 100 includes a rear end cover 170, and the rear end cover 170 has an air hole 171, which can be connected to the accommodating chamber 113, and the air hole 171 is configured to allow compressed air to pass into the accommodating chamber 113, and the air hole 171 can also be used to discharge the compressed air in the accommodating chamber 113. The cylinder 100 is provided with an air guide pipe 172, and the air guide pipe 172 is connected to the air hole 171. Since the air guide pipe 172 does not need to move relative to the air hole 171, the connection between the air guide pipe 172 and the air hole 171 can be sealed by a sealing ring or other structure.
[0055] In some embodiments, the cylinder 100 is used in combination with a solenoid valve. Specifically, when the piston 120 abuts against the rear end cover 170, the cylinder 100 is in a closed state and the solenoid valve is in a normally closed state. When the solenoid valve is energized, compressed air enters the cylinder 100 through the air duct 172, and the compressed air pushes the piston 120 to move in a direction close to the cylinder head 111. At the same time, the bellows 140 and the spring are compressed. When the piston 120 abuts against the limit portion 1123, the introduction of compressed air stops, and the cylinder 100 is in an open state. When the solenoid valve loses power, the solenoid valve resets to restore the normally closed state, and the elastic member 150 pushes the piston 120 to move in a direction away from the cylinder head 111, so that the compressed air is discharged from the air duct 172.
[0056] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0057] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.
