Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of evaporation coating devices, and particularly relates to a linear evaporation boat feeding device and a linear evaporation boat. Background Technique

[0002] Vacuum evaporation coating is a method in which, under vacuum conditions, an evaporator is used to heat an evaporation material so that the heated material sublimes to obtain an evaporation particle stream, and the evaporation particle stream shoots towards a substrate and deposits on the substrate to form a solid thin film. In the prior art, in order to deposit a uniform thin film on a large-area substrate, a long-strip linear evaporation boat is used in the evaporation coating device instead of multiple dot matrix evaporation boats to cover the entire substrate, thereby overcoming the problem that the diffusion ports between the dot matrix evaporation boats cannot be closely connected, and the evaporation material diffuses pointwise from the diffusion ports of the evaporation boat to the surroundings, affecting the coating effect. However, in practical applications, compared with the method of quantitatively adding evaporation coating materials to the dot matrix evaporation boat, the linear evaporation boat has the problem of uneven feeding. Uneven feeding cannot ensure that the thickness of the evaporation coating materials in the whole line is the same. Different material thicknesses are likely to affect the heating of the materials. The uneven heating of the evaporation coating materials results in too high or too low local evaporation rates, which in turn leads to uneven coating and affects the performance of the final product. Therefore, the utility model aims to develop a linear evaporation boat feeding device and a linear evaporation boat to better meet the actual needs. Content of the Utility Model

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions realized by the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific drawings.

[0026] See Figures 1 to 4 as shown

[0027] For the linear evaporation boat feeding device of the present utility model, the linear evaporation boat includes a strip-shaped material trough 1. The use of the strip-shaped material trough 1 can avoid the phenomenon that the evaporation material on the traditional dot matrix evaporation boat diffuses pointwise from the diffusion port of the evaporation boat to the surrounding.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, the feeding device includes a base 3, a hopper 2, a thickness adjusting assembly 5 and a discharge adjusting assembly 4.

[0029] The base 3 is slidably installed on the material trough 1. The base 3 includes a support plate arranged on the top of the material trough 1. Side plates are provided on both sides of the support plate, and the side plates are arranged in contact with the outer wall of the material trough 1. Under the push of an external force, the base 3 can slide stably along the outer wall of the material trough 1.

[0030] The hopper 2 is installed on the base 3. As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the hopper 2 is preferably a conical hopper 2 with a constricted bottom. The top of the hopper 2 is provided with a feed port, the bottom of the hopper 2 is provided with a discharge port 21, the discharge port 21 is communicated with the material trough 1, and the opening size of the discharge port is adjusted by the discharge adjusting assembly 4, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the material entering the material trough 1. In a preferred embodiment, the discharge adjusting assembly 4 includes an adjusting plate 41 and an adjusting member 42. The adjusting plate 41 is horizontally arranged on the support plate of the base 3 and matches the size and position of the discharge port. An opening corresponding to the discharge port 21 is provided on the support plate, so as to ensure that the material falls into the material trough 1. The adjusting member 42 is used to adjust the installation position of the adjusting plate 41 and the base 3, and thus adjust the opening size of the discharge port 21. In a further preferred specific embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the adjusting plate 41 is an L-shaped adjusting plate 41, which is convenient for pulling. The adjusting member 42 includes a fastening member and a connecting plate fixed to one side of the hopper 2. The fastening member passes through the connecting plate and is fixedly connected to the mounting hole on the adjusting plate 41. A plurality of mounting holes are arranged at intervals along the pulling direction on the adjusting plate 41, so that the adjusting plate 41 can be well fixed after being pulled to different positions, and thus the opening size of the discharge port can be maintained stable after adjustment.

[0031] The thickness adjusting assembly 5 includes a scraping block 51 arranged on the top of the material tank 1. The scraping block 51 is connected to the base 3 through a lifting adjusting member 42. In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the discharge port of the hopper 2 is arranged at the front end of the base 3 along the sliding direction, and the scraping block 51 is arranged at the rear end of the base 3 along the sliding direction. Thus, during the sliding of the base 3, the material is discharged from the front end of the hopper 2, and the scraping block 51 scrapes off the excess thickness of the material in the material tank 1 at the rear end and levels the surface of the material in the material tank 1, further ensuring the uniformity of the coating.

[0032] In some preferred embodiments, the lifting adjusting member 42 includes a lifting rod 54 and a mounting plate 52 arranged on the base 3. The mounting plate 52 and the scraping block 51 are connected through the lifting rod 54. Further improved, the lifting rod 54 is preferably an adjusting screw, and a positioning pin 53 is arranged between the mounting plate 52 and the scraping block 51. A spring is wound around the positioning pin 53. Thus, in actual operation, the block can be driven to rise and fall by rotating the adjusting screw, so as to control the depth of scraping, and then the thickness of the material in the material tank 1 can be realized, ensuring the uniformity of the coating, and can be flexibly adjusted according to needs during actual operation.

[0033] In some other preferred embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the width of the scraping block 51 is adapted to the width of the material tank 1, and the top of the scraping block 51 is flush with the top of the material tank 1, or at least can maintain a certain height, so as to prevent material leakage during scraping. The bottom of the scraping block 51 is kept horizontal and flat; the scraping block 51 forms an inclined surface structure extending from the bottom of the front end along the sliding direction of the base 3, and the bottom of the rear end of the scraping block 51 along the sliding direction of the base 3 is arranged as an arc-shaped structure, so as to realize rapid scraping and keep the surface of the material flat after scraping.
