[0027] Please see Figure 1-6As shown, this utility model is a novel high-energy magnetron sputtering cylindrical target device, including a magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1, a coating box shell 11 inserted into the outside of the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1, a mounting bracket 12 fixedly connected to the outside of the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1, and a sealing component 13 provided below the coating box shell 11.

[0028] The sealing assembly 13 includes an annular mounting shell 131, with an annular sealing gasket 132 fitted inside the annular mounting shell 131. The top of the annular sealing gasket 132 contacts the bottom of the coating chamber shell 11. The centers of the annular mounting shell 131 and the annular sealing gasket 132 are inserted into the outer side of the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1. The inner wall of the annular sealing gasket 132 contacts the outer surface of the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1, and the top of the annular mounting shell 131 contacts the bottom of the coating chamber shell 11. By setting the sealing assembly 13, specifically for the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1, After the target body 1 is installed, the annular sealing gasket 132 and the annular mounting shell 131 are respectively inserted into the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1. After installation, the annular mounting shell 131 will be inserted into the threaded block 112. Then, the nut 113 is installed to fix the annular mounting shell 131 and push and squeeze the annular sealing gasket 132 to achieve a good sealing effect, avoid gaps at the connection between the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1 and the coating chamber shell 11, thereby improving the vacuum effect in the coating chamber and improving the coating quality.

[0029] The bottom of the annular sealing gasket 132 is provided with three threaded holes 321 and three positioning holes 322. Three positioning blocks 311 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular mounting shell 131. The inside of the annular mounting shell 131 is provided with three insertion holes 312. The annular mounting shell 131 is inserted into the positioning holes 322 at the bottom of the annular sealing gasket 132 through the positioning blocks 311 to position the annular mounting shell 131, so that the insertion holes 312 on the annular mounting shell 131 are aligned with the threaded holes 321.

[0030] The positioning block 311 is adapted to the positioning hole 322, and the insertion hole 312 corresponds to the insertion hole 312. The bottom of the annular sealing gasket 132 contacts the inner wall of the annular mounting shell 131. The outer side of the bottom of the annular sealing gasket 132 is tapered. The bottom of the coating box shell 11 is fixedly connected to the positioning ring 133, which is inserted into the outer side of the annular sealing gasket 132. The outer side of the positioning ring 133 is inserted into the inner side of the annular mounting shell 131. After the annular sealing gasket 132 moves to the bottom of the coating box shell 11, it will be inserted into the positioning ring 133, and the positioning ring 133 will position the annular sealing gasket 132.

[0031] The bottom of the coating housing 11 is fixedly connected to three threaded blocks 112. Nuts 113 are threadedly connected to the outer surfaces of the three threaded blocks 112. The annular mounting housing 131 has three openings on its outer side. The annular mounting housing 131 is inserted into the threaded blocks 112 through the openings. After installation, the annular mounting housing 131 will be inserted into the threaded blocks 112. The nuts 113 are installed on the threaded blocks 112 to fix the annular mounting housing 131.

[0032] A positioning frame 111 is fixedly connected to the top of the coating chamber shell 11, and a mounting bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1. The mounting bracket 12 is inserted into the positioning frame 111, and the bottom of the mounting bracket 12 contacts the top of the coating chamber shell 11. By setting the positioning frame 111, specifically by inserting the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1 from the top of the coating chamber shell 11, the mounting bracket 12 is inserted into the positioning frame 111. At the same time, the threaded block 122 is inserted into the straight slot 121, and then the nut 123 is threadedly connected to the threaded block 122 to fix the mounting bracket 12. The installation of the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1 is thus completed. This method is simple and convenient to operate, has higher installation efficiency, and facilitates subsequent continuous maintenance.

[0033] The mounting bracket 12 has a straight slot 121 inside, and a threaded block 122 is provided inside the straight slot 121. The top of the threaded block 122 is fixedly connected to the top of the coating box shell 11. The outer surface of the threaded block 122 is threaded with a nut 123. Both the mounting bracket 12 and the positioning frame 111 are square, which makes the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1 more stable after installation.

[0034] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0035] In use, the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1 is inserted from the top of the coating chamber shell 11, allowing the mounting bracket 12 to engage with the positioning frame 111. The positioning frame 111 positions the mounting bracket 12, enabling quick docking. Simultaneously, the threaded block 122 engages with the straight slot 121, and then the nut 123 is threaded onto the threaded block 122 to secure the mounting bracket 12. This completes the installation of the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1. This method is simple and convenient, with higher installation efficiency, and facilitates subsequent maintenance. After the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1 is installed, the annular sealing gasket 132 is inserted from the bottom of the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1. The annular sealing gasket 132 is moved to the bottom of the coating chamber shell 11 and engaged with the positioning ring 133. Then, the annular mounting shell 131 is inserted from the bottom of the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1, and the annular mounting shell 133 is then engaged with the positioning ring 133. The housing 131 slides upward to contact the annular sealing gasket 132. The annular housing 131 is then inserted into the positioning hole 322 at the bottom of the annular sealing gasket 132 via the positioning block 311, thus positioning the annular housing 131. At this time, the insertion hole 312 on the annular housing 131 will align with the threaded hole 321, facilitating the installation of bolts. After installation, the annular housing 131 will be inserted into the threaded block 112. Then, the nut 113 is installed on the threaded block 112 to fix the annular housing 131. After being fixed, the annular housing 131 will push and squeeze the annular sealing gasket 132, making the annular sealing gasket 132 fit tightly against the coating chamber housing 11, thereby achieving a good sealing effect and avoiding gaps at the connection between the magnetron sputtering cylindrical target body 1 and the coating chamber housing 11, thus improving the vacuum effect inside the coating chamber and improving the coating quality.
