[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a spray plate 6 leveling mechanism according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a connecting plate 1, a mounting plate 2, multiple adjustment screws 4, multiple guide posts 3, a connecting shaft 5, and a spray plate 6. The connecting plate 1 is used to connect to the vacuum coating equipment, the mounting plate 2 is located above the connecting plate 1, the top of the connecting shaft 5 is fixed to the mounting plate 2, and the bottom passes through the connecting plate 1 and extends below the connecting plate 1 and is connected to the spray plate 6. The spray plate 6 is located below the connecting plate 1 and is located within the vacuum coating equipment when in use. Since the mounting plate 2 and the spray plate 6 are fixedly connected via the connecting shaft 5, the levelness and height of the spray plate 6 can be adjusted synchronously by adjusting the levelness and height of the mounting plate 2.
[0028] Multiple adjustment screws 4 are evenly distributed around the axis of the mounting plate 2. The bottom of the adjustment screw 4 abuts against the connecting plate 1, and the top passes through the mounting plate 2 and is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 2. By rotating the adjustment screw 4 counterclockwise or clockwise, the level and height of the mounting plate 2 can be adjusted. To prevent the mounting plate 2 from moving after the position is adjusted, a locking nut 41 is provided on the adjustment screw 4. The upper end surface of the locking nut 41 abuts against the lower end surface of the mounting plate 2. The position of the mounting plate 2 is fixed by tightening the locking nut. Multiple guide posts 3 are used to guide the spray plate 6 when adjusting its level and height. Multiple guide posts 3 are evenly distributed around the axis of the mounting plate 2. The bottom of the guide posts 3 is connected to the connecting plate 1, and the top passes through the mounting plate 2 and is slidably connected to the mounting plate 2. To facilitate auxiliary judgment of the height and level of the spray plate 6 and improve leveling accuracy, the outer wall of the guide post 3 is provided with a scale 31 along the axial direction.
[0029] After the leveling mechanism of the spray plate 6 of the present invention is connected to the vacuum coating equipment, in order to ensure that the internal environment of the vacuum coating equipment is isolated from the external annular environment and avoid affecting the coating process, in some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , further comprising a bellows 7, which is sleeved over the connecting shaft 5, with one end of the bellows 7 connected to the mounting plate 2 and the other end connected to the connecting plate 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, to facilitate positioning of the bellows 7 during installation, annular bosses 71 are provided at both ends of the bellows 7. Furthermore, a limiting hole 11 corresponding to the outer diameter of one annular boss 71 is provided on the connecting plate 1, and a limiting step 21 corresponding to the inner diameter of the other annular boss 71 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 2. The limiting bosses are fixed to the connecting plate 1 and the mounting plate 2 using screws.
[0030] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the installation of the guide column 3 and to perform a secondary fine-tuning of the levelness of the spray plate 6, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4, also includes a flange fixing seat 8 and a bearing 9, wherein the flange fixing seat 8, the bearing 9 and the guide column 3 are the same in number and in corresponding positions, the flange fixing seat 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide column 3 by a pin, and a mounting hole 81 and an adjusting screw hole 82 are provided on the connecting plate 1, and an adjusting screw (not shown in the figure) is provided in the adjusting screw hole 82. A threaded hole corresponding to the mounting hole 81 is opened on the connecting plate 1, and a screw connecting the flange fixing seat 8 and the connecting plate 1 is provided in the mounting hole 81. Due to the installation gap between the mounting hole 81 and the screw, the threaded section of the adjusting screw is passed through the adjusting screw hole 82, and the end portion is abutted against the connecting plate 1. The screw in the mounting hole 81 can be loosened. By turning the adjusting screw, the levelness of the flange fixing seat 8 can be fine-tuned, and then the levelness of the spray plate 6 can be fine-tuned. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the positions of the mounting holes 81 and the adjusting screw holes 82 and improve the accuracy of secondary fine-tuning, the number of mounting holes 81 and the adjusting screw holes 82 is the same, and they are arranged at intervals around the axis of the flange connection seat. In this embodiment, the number of mounting holes 81 and the adjusting screw holes 82 are both 3, which can be set according to actual adjustment requirements.
[0031] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the introduction of process gases, electrodes, etc. into the vacuum coating equipment, reduce the structure, and reduce the cost of the vacuum coating equipment, therefore, Figure 4 As shown, an electrode introduction channel 100, a cooling water inlet channel 101, a cooling water outlet channel 102 and a process gas introduction channel 103 are axially opened on the connecting shaft 5 and the mounting plate 2. The process gas, cooling water channel and electrode a can be integrated on the connecting shaft 5, and the pipelines for ventilation, water and electricity are integrated, which further simplifies the structure and reduces production costs.
[0032] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the rotation of the adjusting screw 4, a limiting plane 42 is provided on the top side wall of the adjusting screw 4 along the axial direction, so as to facilitate the rotation of the adjusting screw 4 using an adjustable wrench.
[0033] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the number of guide pillars and adjusting screws 4 and reduce the difficulty of adjustment, the number of guide pillars and adjusting screws 4 is 2, and both are symmetrically arranged along the radial direction of the connecting disk 1, and the angle between the guide pillar and the adjacent adjusting screw 4 is 90°.
[0034] In summary, the present embodiment provides a spray pan 6 leveling mechanism, comprising an adjusting screw 4 and a guide post 3. Since the top of the connecting shaft 5 is fixed to the mounting pan 2 and the bottom to the spray pan 6, the adjusting screw 4, which is arranged around the mounting pan 2, can be rotated to adjust the levelness of the mounting pan 2 while also adjusting the height of the mounting pan 2, thereby achieving adjustment of both the levelness and height of the spray pan 6. The guide post 3 not only serves as a guide during adjustment of the spray pan 6, but also, due to the presence of a scale 31, facilitates auxiliary judgment of the height and levelness of the spray pan 6, thereby improving leveling accuracy. Furthermore, a locking nut 41 is provided to prevent the spray pan 6 from shifting after position adjustment, thereby ensuring leveling accuracy.
[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
