[0029] Next, the present utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. What is described here is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can think of other ways to implement the present utility model based on the preferred embodiment, and these other ways also fall within the scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Embodiment

[0031] Refer to Figures 1 - 10, this embodiment provides a tie rod assembly, including a tie rod screw 100, a hoisting nut 200, and a tie rod nut 300. The hoisting nut 200 is used for pre-installation on the diffuser 400, and the tie rod nut 300 is used for installation on the back plate 500; the tie rod screw 100 includes a rod body 110, a tie rod head 120, and a tie rod tail 130. The tie rod head 120 and the tie rod tail 130 are respectively connected to both ends of the rod body 110; the tie rod head 120 is detachably connected to the hoisting nut 200, and the tie rod tail 130 is threadedly connected to the tie rod nut 300. Turning the tie rod nut 300 drives the hoisting nut 200 and the diffuser 400 to be pulled up. The tie rod screw 100 is detachably connected to the hoisting nut 200 through the tie rod head 120 and is threadedly connected to the tie rod nut 300 through the tie rod tail 130. The tie rod assembly connects the diffuser 400 and the back plate 500, replacing the traditional screw structure. Through the hoisting nut 200 structure, the tie rod screw 100 can be disassembled from the diffuser 400 conveniently, which can avoid the direct contact between the tie rod screw 100 and the diffuser 400, prevent the tie rod screw 100 from damaging the diffuser 400, and also eliminate the situation of jamming caused by the direct threaded connection between the tie rod screw 100 and the diffuser 400.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the hoisting nut 200 includes a nut head 210 and a nut tail 220, and the nut head 210 and the nut tail 220 are of an integral structure. The integral structure is convenient for processing and has better structural stability. The nut tail 220 is fixedly installed on the diffuser 400. Specifically, by opening a threaded hole on the diffuser 400, the nut tail 220 is fixed to the diffuser 400 through threads. The nut head 210 is detachably connected to the tie rod head 120, which is convenient for the separation of the tie rod screw 100 and the diffuser 400.

[0033] It can be understood that there are many types of detachable structures for realizing the separation of the tie rod screw 100 and the hoisting nut 200. In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the nut head 210 is provided with a card slot 211 and a limit slot 212, and the card slot 211 communicates with the limit slot 212; the shape of the card slot 211 matches the shape of the tie rod head 120, and the tie rod head 120 passes through the card slot 211 and rotates to engage with the limit slot 212. When it is necessary to connect the tie rod screw 100 and the hoisting nut 200, press the tie rod head 120 into the card slot 211 and then rotate the tie rod screw 100.

[0034] Furthermore, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a limiting device 230 is provided at the edge of the limiting groove 212, and the limiting device 230 limits the head of the pull rod 120. When connecting the pull rod screw 100 and the hoisting nut 200, it prevents the pull rod screw 100 from rotating excessively, resulting in the separation of the pull rod screw 100 and the hoisting nut 200, and improves the connection stability between the two. Specifically, the limiting device 230 includes two limiting pins, and the two limiting pins are symmetrically arranged about the center of the nut head 210, which can increase the arc distance between the two limiting pins as much as possible, so that the head of the pull rod 120 has enough rotation space, fully increases the contact area between the head of the pull rod 120 and the limiting groove 212, and improves the connection strength between the head of the pull rod 120 and the limiting groove 212. In addition, the cost of the hoisting nut 200 is relatively low. When the thread of the diffuser 400 is damaged, only the hoisting nut 200 needs to be replaced. Through the thread tightening direction, the head of the pull rod 120 cooperates with the limiting groove 212 and the limiting pins to realize the fastening and separation of the pull rod screw 100 and the hoisting nut 200.

[0035] It can be understood that the nut tail 220 is a cylindrical structure, and an external thread is provided on the cylindrical surface of the nut tail 220. By providing a threaded hole on the diffuser 400, the hoisting nut 200 is connected to the threaded hole of the diffuser 400 through the nut tail 220, realizing the fixed installation of the hoisting nut 200 and the diffuser 400.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the pull rod nut 300 includes a threaded through hole 310, and an external thread matching the threaded through hole 310 is provided on the outer side of the tail of the pull rod 130. The tail of the pull rod 130 is threadedly connected to the pull rod nut 300 through the threaded through hole 310. The pull rod nut 300 is movably installed in the back plate 500, and the pull rod nut 300 can rotate around its own center. Rotating the pull rod nut 300 can drive the pull rod screw 100 to move up and down.

[0037] Furthermore, as Figure 10 shown, two disassembly and assembly holes 320 are provided on the end face of the pull rod nut 300, and the two disassembly and assembly holes 320 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the threaded through hole 310. Through the two symmetrically arranged disassembly and assembly holes 320, the pull rod nut 300 can be removed and installed more conveniently, which is convenient for maintenance. It can be understood that the pull rod nut 300 can be rotated and removed through the disassembly and assembly holes 320 using tools, or rotated through the disassembly and assembly holes 320 first and then pulled out. In the embodiments of the present application, an external thread is provided on the outer side of the pull rod nut 300, and it is installed in the back plate 500 by rotating. In actual use cases, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, tighten the tie rod nut 300 clockwise to drive the tie rod screw 100 to hoist the nut 200 and the diffuser 400 upward. While loosen the tie rod nut 300 counterclockwise, screw out the limit groove 212, and the tie rod screw 100 can easily disengage from the hoisting nut 200 to complete the disassembly.

[0038] In a PECVD equipment machine, generally includes a diffuser 400, a backplane 500 and the above-mentioned tie rod assembly, and the tie rod assembly connects the diffuser 400 and the backplane 500. The tie rod assembly replaces the traditional screw structure and can eliminate many disadvantages of directly connecting the screw to the diffuser 400.

[0039] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the tie rod assembly is installed at the central position of the diffuser 400, and the flatness from the center of the diffuser 400 to the four corners is 2 mm to 2.5 mm. By tightening and pulling the diffuser 400 with the tie rod nut 300 at the uppermost end, the flatness of the diffuser 400 from the center to the four corners can be adjusted to 3 mm to 4 mm to meet the equipment usage requirements.
