Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical storage medium production, in particular to an integrated production line for the production of high-capacity Blu-ray storage media. Background Art
[0002] Blu-ray Disc is named because it uses blue laser with a wavelength of 405nm for data reading and writing. It is the next-generation optical disc specification for data storage media and has been widely used to store high-capacity data or high-definition audio and video files. In Blu-ray Disc, the single-write Blu-ray Disc of the Cu / Si system utilizes the metal induced crystallization phase change mechanism, enabling amorphous silicon to form crystals through the induction of copper metal at a lower phase change temperature, thereby enhancing the in-situ reflectivity of the recording layer to blue laser and completing the data recording work.
[0003] In the existing sputtering production line, sputtering equipment and injection molding machines are usually arranged on both sides of the production line respectively. After the products processed by the injection molding machine are put into the production line, they are put into the sputtering equipment by the manipulator of the production line for sputtering process; in the above solution, when the sputtering equipment or the injection molding machine fails, the entire production line will be forced to suspend production and requires shutdown maintenance, seriously affecting the production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an integrated production line for the production of high-capacity Blu-ray storage media in view of the deficiencies of the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0006] The beneficial effects of the utility model: Multiple sputtering modules are respectively matched with the rotating disk. The preliminary processing equipment sequentially puts the preliminarily formed products onto the rotating disk of the conveying platform, and then after rotating to the sputtering equipment, the sputtering equipment processes the products through the sputtering process; then, they are sequentially conveyed to the next process by the cooperation of multiple rotating disks; when one group of sputtering modules fails, the work of this group of sputtering modules can be suspended, and the remaining sputtering modules work normally. Without stopping the sputtering process line, the normal operation of the equipment is maintained, ensuring the basic production efficiency;
[0007] After the sputtered product enters the cooling line, it moves forward along the straight conveyor line, the curved conveyor line, and the straight conveyor line in sequence. The clamping fixture of the transfer manipulator transfers the product to the next cooling line for continued static cooling. Since the cooling line is in the shape of a circular track, it does not occupy a long space, saving a large amount of space. Multiple cooling lines cooperate with each other to form a long cooling area for the product to be statically cooled, meeting the need for cooling and temperature reduction.

[0030] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] As Figure 1-8 shown, an integrated production line for the production of large - capacity blue - ray storage media includes a conveying platform, and the conveying platform is provided with a sputtering process line 10 and a cooling line.
[0032] The sputtering process line 10 includes a plurality of rotating disks arranged on the conveying platform. The rotating disks are provided with a plurality of positioning structures 17 for temporarily storing products. A plurality of sputtering modules 19 are arranged along the conveying platform 1. The sputtering module 19 includes a preliminary processing device 13 and a sputtering device 15 that can cooperate with the rotating disk; two adjacent rotating disks are connected to each other, and the transfer manipulator can transfer the products on the previous rotating disk to the next rotating disk.
[0033] A plurality of sputtering modules 19 respectively cooperate with the rotating disks. The preliminary processing device 13 sequentially places the preliminarily formed products onto the rotating disks of the conveying platform 1, and then after rotating to the sputtering device 15, the sputtering device 15 performs sputtering process processing on the products; then they are sequentially conveyed to the cooling line by the cooperation of a plurality of rotating disks; when one group of sputtering modules 19 fails, the operation of this group of sputtering modules 19 can be suspended, and the other sputtering modules 19 can operate normally. Without stopping the sputtering process line 10, the normal operation of the equipment can be maintained to ensure the basic production efficiency.
[0034] The preliminary processing device 13 is an injection molding machine. The product is a blue - ray storage medium, that is, an optical disc.
[0035] The rotating disk is divided into a loading and unloading turntable 11 and a buffer turntable 12. The loading and unloading turntable 11 is respectively connected and matched with the primary processing equipment 13 and the sputtering equipment 15. The primary processing equipment 13 is provided with a blanking conveyor line 14 connected to the loading and unloading turntable 11 of the conveying platform 1. The products formed by primary processing through the primary processing equipment 13 are conveyed to the corresponding loading and unloading turntable 11 for temporary storage through the blanking conveyor line 14; the loading and unloading turntable 11 cooperates with the blanking conveyor line 14, and the products located on the blanking conveyor line 14 enter the loading and unloading turntable 11.
[0036] Preferably, the blanking conveyor line 14 includes a blanking conveyor belt 26 and blanking positioning disks 27 arranged at equal intervals along the length direction. The blanking positioning disks 27 are used to store the products formed by the primary processing equipment 13. Two adjacent blanking positioning disks 27 are arranged at equal intervals; the products completed by the primary processing equipment 13 enter the blanking conveyor belt 26 one by one and are temporarily stored by the blanking positioning disks 27. The blanking conveyor belt 26 moves forward and then enters the loading and unloading turntable 11 one by one.
[0037] The sputtering equipment 15 is provided with a sputtering manipulator 16 connected to the loading and unloading turntable 11 of the conveying platform 1. The loading and unloading turntable 11 rotates. After one of the products loaded with materials is matched with the sputtering equipment 15, the product is transferred into the sputtering chamber by the sputtering manipulator 16 for sputtering, realizing the sputtering process of the product. The products completed by sputtering are continuously transferred to the loading and unloading turntable 11 by the sputtering manipulator 16 for temporary storage.
[0038] At least one buffer turntable 12 is arranged between two adjacent loading and unloading turntables 11; a connecting manipulator 18 is arranged between the loading and unloading turntable 11 and the buffer turntable 12. After the sputtered products pass through the loading and unloading turntable 11 and continue to rotate to cooperate with the connecting manipulator 18, the products on the loading and unloading turntable 11 are transferred to the buffer turntable 12 by the connecting manipulator 18 for transfer, realizing connection. Since the number of sputtering modules 19 is multiple, a plurality of buffer turntables 12 are used between two adjacent sputtering modules 19 to buffer and load the sputtered products, preventing too many products from hindering the normal sputtering process of adjacent sputtering modules 19.
[0039] After the products completed by sputtering by the first group of sputtering modules 19 pass through the loading and unloading turntable 11, they are transferred to the buffer turntable 12 by the connecting manipulator 18 for buffering. After passing through the buffer turntable 12 more than once, the products are transferred to the second group of sputtering modules 19 by the connecting manipulator 18, that is, they enter the second group of loading and unloading turntables 11.
[0040] In the sputtering module 19 of the second group, in order to prevent conflicts between the two groups of products, the production speed of the sputtering module 19 of the second group is slowed down. That is, after the primary processing equipment 13 conveys the products to the corresponding loading and unloading turntable 11 through the blanking conveyor line 14, the loading and unloading turntable 11 rotates at an interval of more than one positioning structure 17. The empty positioning structure 17 is used to carry the products of the previous buffer turntable 12 to achieve the cooperation of the two sputtering modules 19. In this cyclic cooperation, the products of the first group and the second group are transferred to the next buffer turntable 12 by the transfer manipulator 18 for temporary storage.
[0041] By adopting the method of mutual cooperation of multiple sputtering modules 19 and the cooperation of multiple loading and unloading turntables and buffer turntables 12, the production of the two sputtering modules 19 can be completed on one sputtering conveyor line without mutual conflict. When one of the sputtering modules 19 fails, it will not affect the production of the sputtering conveyor line, only the production quantity will be affected, and the remaining sputtering modules 19 can produce normally without the need for overall shutdown maintenance, ensuring a certain production efficiency.
[0042] Between the primary processing equipment 13 and the sputtering equipment 15 of the third group, there is a blanking module 2. The blanking module 2 includes an inner turntable 21 and an outer turntable 22 that rotate respectively. The inner turntable 21 and the outer turntable 22 are coaxially arranged, and both the inner turntable 21 and the outer turntable 22 are provided with a plurality of temporary storage structures 23 for temporarily storing products. There is a transfer manipulator 18 between the inner turntable 21 and the previous buffer turntable 12. After passing through more than one buffer turntable 12, the products are placed into the inner turntable 21 by the transfer manipulator 18 for temporary storage and buffering. The conveying platform 1 is also provided with a blanking manipulator 25 for transferring the products of the inner turntable 21 outward. When the inner turntable rotates and the products are aligned with the blanking manipulator 25, the products can be blanked from the sputtering process line 10 to the cooling line by the blanking manipulator 25 to complete sputtering.
[0043] In the sputtering module 19 of the third group, there is an inner and outer ring exchange manipulator 24 between the inner turntable 21 and the outer turntable 22. The primary processing equipment 13 and the sputtering equipment 15 are respectively connected to the outer turntable 22. The primary processing equipment 13 conveys the products to the corresponding outer turntable 22 for temporary storage through the blanking conveyor line 14, and then rotates to cooperate with the sputtering equipment 15. After that, the products are transferred to the sputtering equipment 15 by the sputtering manipulator 16 for sputtering process processing. After the processing is completed, they are put back into the outer turntable 22 for temporary storage. When the products after the sputtering process in the outer turntable 22 pass through the inner and outer ring exchange manipulator 24, the inner and outer ring exchange manipulator 24 can transfer the products of the outer turntable 22 to the inner turntable 21. The inner turntable 21 receives the good products of the sputtering module 19 of the third group on the one hand, and at the same time receives the good products of the sputtering modules 19 of the first group and the second group on the other hand, that is, the temporary storage structures 23 receive them at intervals to prevent conflicts. Then, the sputtered products are blanked to the cooling line by the blanking manipulator 25.
[0044] The sputtering module 19 of the third group is located at the end, and different, coaxially arranged inner turntables 21 and outer turntables 22 are used in the same area to ensure the normal operation of production, while reducing space occupancy and avoiding conflicts.
[0045] The cooling line 3 includes a pair of parallel and spaced straight conveyor lines 31, a curved conveyor line 34 is connected between the two straight conveyor lines 31, and the two straight conveyor lines 31 and the curved conveyor line 34 form a circular runway-shaped cooling line 3; the cooling line 3 also includes a straight support frame 37 for supporting the straight conveyor line 31 and a curved support frame 38 for supporting the curved conveyor line 34; a transfer robot 4 is arranged between two adjacent cooling lines 3, and a clamping fixture 47 for clamping the product is installed on the driving end of the transfer robot 4.
[0046] After the product that needs to be cooled enters the cooling line 3, it moves forward along the straight conveyor line 31, the curved conveyor line 34 and the straight conveyor line 31 in sequence, and the clamping fixture 47 of the transfer robot 4 transfers the product to the next cooling line 3 for continued static cooling; since the cooling line 3 is a circular runway, it will not take up a long space, thus saving a lot of space. Multiple cooling lines 3 cooperate with each other to form a long-distance cooling area for the product to be statically cooled, meeting the cooling and temperature reduction needs.
[0047] The linear conveyor line 31 includes a linear conveyor belt 32 and a pair of linear conveyor plates 33 arranged at intervals. The linear conveyor belt 32 is arranged along the length direction of the linear conveyor plates 33. The linear conveyor plates 33 support the linear conveyor belt 32 so that the linear conveyor belt 32 can move smoothly. The products entering the linear conveyor belt 32 can be transported forward and forward smoothly, which is convenient for static cooling.
[0048] The curved conveyor line 34 includes a pair of arc plates 35 arranged at intervals, a conveying roller assembly is arranged between the two arc plates 35, and the conveying roller assembly includes a plurality of forward conveying rollers 36 arranged at intervals, and two adjacent forward conveying rollers 36 are transmission connected; the arc plate 35 is a semicircular ring structure, one end of the arc plate 35 is connected to one of the straight conveyor lines 31, and the other end of the arc plate 35 is connected to the other straight conveyor line 31, thereby realizing closure; the product can be circulated and conveyed in the cooling line 3 to realize cyclic cooling.
[0049] A material unloading robot is arranged beside the third cooling line 3. After cooling down through multiple cooling lines 3, the material is unloaded by the material unloading robot and transferred to the next process to continue processing the product.

A longitudinally movable longitudinal drive arm 44 is installed at the end of the lateral drive arm 43, and the clamping fixture 47 is installed at the bottom of the longitudinal drive arm 44. When transferring the product from the first cooling line 3 to the second cooling line 3, the lateral drive arm 43 of the robot 42 swings laterally to be longitudinally aligned with the first cooling line 3. Subsequently, the clamping fixture 47 installed on the longitudinal drive arm 44 descends, clamps the product through the clamping fixture 47. Then, the lateral drive arm 43 of the robot 42 swings laterally to be longitudinally aligned with the second cooling line 3, and the clamping fixture 47 installed on the longitudinal drive arm 44 descends to place the product into the second cooling line 3.
[0051] Furthermore, a longitudinally arranged longitudinal telescopic cylinder 45 is installed at the end of the lateral drive arm 43. A connecting plate 46 is installed at the driving end of the longitudinal telescopic cylinder 45, and the clamping fixture 47 realizes lifting movement under the drive of the longitudinal telescopic cylinder 45.
