Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of experimental equipment, in particular to a sample table for coating of a coating instrument. Background Art
[0002] The ion sputtering coater is a sample pretreatment instrument in a scanning electron microscope. It mainly performs nano-scale coating on the sample by ion sputtering or thermal evaporation, so that the sample is evenly covered with a layer of metal film or C film to form a good grounding conductor. In order to make the sample surface more evenly covered with a layer of conductive film, the stage is usually tilted at a certain angle (10°~30°) after coating on the top, and the stage is rotated about 3 times for coating, so that the sample is evenly covered with a layer of nano-scale conductive film to complete the sample pretreatment.
[0003] According to patent number CN207537528U, a utility model patent for a sample platform of an ion sputtering instrument includes a spring transposition base, a rotating shaft, and a sample plate. The base is provided with a spring device, which can be wound up and store energy. The spring transposition drives a vertically upward rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft can rotate by itself under the drive of the spring device. The sample plate is connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft, and the angle between the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft is adjustable, that is, the sample plate can be tilted to a certain extent. As the spring transposition drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft drives the sample plate to rotate, and an all-round and uniform spraying effect can be obtained. Not only can the sample obtain an all-round and uniform spraying effect, although the above technical method can perform rotational uniform coating on the sample, it requires multiple manual winding and energy storage during coating. After the vertical coating is completed, the side of the sample needs to be coated. The method of multiple shutdowns and manual operations will not only affect the low work efficiency, but also cause uneven coating. Utility Model Content

[0014] The utility model is further configured as follows: a connecting sleeve having elastic force and capable of deformation is provided between the edge of the bottom of the placing plate and the edge of the upper end of the shell.
