Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of film coating, in particular to a cage sputtering coating rotating mechanism. Background Art

[0002] After production, some electronic product casings on the market require coating. This coating enhances the appearance of the casing, making it more aesthetically pleasing, wear-resistant, and stylish. Some casings are coated using sputtering. Sputtering involves bombarding a target material with ions. The process of dislodging atoms from the target is called sputtering. The sputtered atoms deposit on the substrate to form a film, known as sputter coating. Sputtering coating utilizes a cage, which secures the product during coating.

[0003] During coating, the cage typically rotates, and most cages utilize a single support rod to drive the entire cage. Some cages have only one support rod, making it difficult to align the rod. However, coating typically involves multiple steps, making alignment difficult when securing the support rods during the cage's translation.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent application number CN202322179378.X discloses a multi-layer vacuum coating cage. Specifically, it states that "the support rods, from top to bottom, are arranged in order: an upper display tray, a plurality of middle display trays, and a bottom display tray." This structure, with only a single support rod, makes alignment difficult during translation. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to address the deficiencies in the prior art, and its main purpose is to provide a cage sputtering coating rotation mechanism, in which the slider on the conveyor frame is embedded in the guide port on the cage frame, making it simpler and more convenient to align the cage frame and the conveyor frame, thereby overcoming the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present application provides a cage sputtering coating rotation mechanism, comprising a conveyor frame on which a plurality of arc-shaped sliders are arranged at intervals; a mounting ring is provided on the cage frame, and a guide opening with an inclined surface is formed between the mounting ring and the cage frame; the slider is embedded in the guide opening, and a material plate for fixing the material is provided on the outer wall of the cage frame.

[0008] Preferably, there are at least three sliders, and the angles between the sliders are the same.

[0009] Preferably, the curvature of the slider is between 15-45°.

[0010] Preferably, the slider has an arcuate surface and an L-shaped mounting portion, the mounting portion is fixed to the conveying frame, and the arcuate surface abuts against the inner wall of the guide opening.

[0011] Preferably, the conveying frame includes a frame body and connecting rods arranged in the frame body, the two connecting rods are arranged at intervals, and sliders are provided on the frame body and the connecting rods.

[0012] Preferably, the slider is one of a plastic block, a graphite block, and a metal block.

[0013] Preferably, the slider is made of polytetrafluoroethylene or polyetheretherketone.

[0014] Preferably, the conveying frame is arranged on a conveying device, which includes a frame and a conveying wheel arranged on the frame, and the conveying frame is placed on the conveying wheel.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, it can be seen from the above technical solution that when the cage is on the conveyor frame, the slider is embedded in the guide port, and the slider can support the mounting ring. The cooperation of multiple sliders can ensure the stability of the cage during translation without deviation, and the coating accuracy is more guaranteed.

[0016] Furthermore, the slider supports the cage, and the guide opening features an inclined surface. This allows the cage to be positioned on the slider at any desired location, ensuring smooth translation and center alignment between the cage and the conveyor frame, achieving excellent positioning. Specifically, when the cage lands on the conveyor frame, the slider nestles within the guide opening, ensuring precise placement and preventing misalignment. The slider's smooth surface allows for easy insertion into the guide opening.

[0017] The outer wall of the cage is provided with a material plate for fixing the material. The material plate can be magnetized, and the product to be coated can be fixed to the material plate by the magnet, which is very convenient for fixing the material. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the following is a detailed description of the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it shows the specific structure of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model, which is a cage sputtering coating rotating mechanism.

[0026] Among them, the guide opening 32 has an inclined surface, so under the action of the inclined surface, the cage 30 can be embedded in the slider 20 at any position, making the cage 30 more stable during the translation process, and ensuring that the cage 30 and the conveyor frame 10 are in the center alignment position, realizing a good positioning function.

[0027] The present application provides a cage-based sputtering coating rotation mechanism, comprising a conveyor frame 10 with a plurality of arc-shaped sliders 20 spaced apart from each other. A cage frame 30 is provided with a mounting ring 31, forming a beveled guide opening 32 between the mounting ring 31 and the cage frame 30. The sliders 20 are embedded in the guide opening 32. The outer wall of the cage frame 30 is provided with a material plate 33 for securing the material. The conveyor frame 10 can be made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy. The bottom of the cage frame 30 has an annular notch. When the mounting ring 31 is inserted into the notch, a beveled guide opening 32 is formed between the mounting ring 31 and the cage frame 30. The guide opening 32 is generally truncated cone-shaped (or annular) and coaxial with the cage frame 30. When the cage frame 30 descends onto the conveyor frame 10, the sliders 20 slide and fit into the guide opening 32 due to the beveled surface. The sliders 20 support the cage frame 30 and allow the cage 30 to rotate on the sliders 20. The multiple sliders 20 in the guide opening 32 can effectively control the alignment accuracy of the cage 30, making the alignment of the cage 30 more convenient. The material plate 33 can be magnetized and can be made of stainless steel or other metal materials that can be attracted by magnets. The material is placed on the material plate 33, and then the magnet fixes the material to the material plate 33. This method of fixing the material is simpler and more efficient. More specifically, the support plate 34 of the cage is designed with an oblique notch. This notch cooperates with the mounting ring 31 to form a guide opening 32 with an inclined surface. The guide opening 32 cooperates with the arc-shaped slider 20 to achieve automatic centering of the cage 30 and the conveyor frame.

[0028] Preferably, there are at least three sliders 20, and the angles between the sliders 20 are the same. The curvature of the sliders 20 is between 15-45°. The conveyor 10 includes a frame 11, and a connecting rod 12 arranged in the frame 11, the two connecting rods 12 are arranged at intervals, and sliders 20 are provided on the frame 11 and the connecting rod 12. There are four sliders 20 in this embodiment, and the angle between each slider is 90 degrees. The curvature of the sliders 20 can be any value among 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, and 45°. The driving part of the cage 30 is exposed between the two connecting rods 12, and the coating machine can drive the cage 30 to rotate on the conveyor 10 at this position.

[0029] Preferably, the slider 20 has a curved surface 21 and an L-shaped mounting portion 22. The mounting portion 22 is fixed to the conveyor frame 10, with the curved surface 21 abutting against the inner wall of the guide opening 32. The mounting portion 22 is fixed to the conveyor frame 10 via screws. The inclined surface of the guide opening 32 matches the curved surface 21, which helps ensure the stability of the cage 30 and facilitates centering.

[0030] Preferably, the slider 20 is a plastic block, a graphite block, or a metal block. The surface of the slider 20 and the surface of the mounting ring 31 are very smooth, and the friction is very small. When the slider 20 is a plastic block, polytetrafluoroethylene or polyetheretherketone is preferably used.

[0031] Preferably, the conveyor rack 10 is mounted on a conveying device 40, which includes a frame 41 and a conveying wheel 42 mounted on the frame 41. The conveyor rack 10 is placed on the conveying wheel 42. The conveying wheel 42 on the frame 41 is rotatable, and the conveyor rack 10 is placed on the conveying wheel 42, which then delivers the conveyor rack 10 into the coating machine. This conveying method is simple and highly efficient.

[0032] In summary, the design focus of the present invention is that when the cage 30 is lowered into the conveyor frame 10, the slider 20 is embedded in the guide opening 32. The slider 20 plays the role of supporting the mounting ring 31. The cooperation of multiple sliders 20 and the guide opening 32 can ensure that the cage 30 is in the center of the conveyor frame and will not deviate. Among them, the surfaces of the sliders 20 and the cage 30 are smooth, with little friction, little wear, and smooth sliding. The material plate 33 can be magnetized, and the product to be coated can be fixed to the material plate 33 by a magnet, and the fixation of the material is also very convenient.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
