Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum coating technology, specifically to a vacuum coating machine with an up-and-down flipping structure. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum coating machine is a device that deposits a uniform thin film onto the surface of a substrate using physical or chemical methods under high vacuum conditions, such as metals, alloys, or other evaporated materials. This technology is widely used in fields such as optics, semiconductors, aerospace, and decoration.

[0003] Traditional vacuum coating machines are typically only suitable for coating one side of a substrate. When coating the reverse side of the substrate is required, additional steps or equipment are needed to flip the substrate. In vacuum coating technology, once a sample is placed in the vacuum chamber, it is difficult to interfere with its position, making sample flipping extremely challenging.

[0004] To address this, a vacuum coating machine with an up-and-down flipping structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vacuum coating machine with an up-and-down flipping structure in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A vacuum coating machine with a top-and-bottom flipping structure includes a base plate. A vacuum coating machine body is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base plate. A sealing door is hinged to the front of the vacuum coating machine body. A first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the left side wall of the vacuum coating machine body, and a second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the right side wall of the vacuum coating machine body. Material clamping components are provided at opposite ends of the first and second rotating shafts. An adjustment mechanism for controlling the rotation of the first rotating shaft is provided on the left side of the vacuum coating machine body. The adjustment mechanism includes two fixed seats, both fixedly mounted on the left side of the vacuum coating machine body. A worm gear is rotatably connected between the two fixed seats. A handwheel is fixedly connected to the top end of the worm gear. A worm wheel is fixedly sleeved at the end of the first rotating shaft, and the worm wheel meshes with the worm gear.

[0008] Furthermore, the material clamping assembly includes two side plates, which are respectively fixedly installed at the ends of the first and second rotating shafts. A support plate is fixedly connected to the side of each side plate, and a rod is movably inserted into the surface of each side plate in the vertical direction. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the end of the rod, and a threaded post is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of each side plate. The threaded post is threadedly connected to the rod, and a knob is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded post.

[0009] Furthermore, a pointer is fixedly connected to the surface of the first rotating shaft, and a scale line is provided on the left side of the vacuum coating machine body.

[0010] Furthermore, the opposing sides of the clamping plate and the support plate are provided with rubber layers.

[0011] Furthermore, the insertion rod has a U-shaped structure, and both ends of the insertion rod are fixedly connected to the clamping plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] The two ends of the plate-shaped material are placed inside the material clamping assemblies on both sides, and the material ends are clamped and fixed by the material clamping assemblies. Then the sealing door is closed, and the material is vacuum coated. After one side of the material is coated, the first rotating shaft is controlled to rotate by the adjustment mechanism, which in turn drives the material clamping assemblies and the second rotating shaft to rotate, so that the material rotates and can be flipped. In use, it achieves the effect of easy free flipping of the material. Users can also operate the material conveniently outside the vacuum chamber, making the coating process more convenient.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a vacuum coating machine with a flip-over structure includes a base plate 1. A vacuum coating machine body 2 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base plate 1. A sealing door 3 is hinged to the front of the vacuum coating machine body 2. A first rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the left side wall of the vacuum coating machine body 2, and a second rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the right side wall of the vacuum coating machine body 2. Material clamping components 6 are provided at opposite ends of the first rotating shaft 4 and the second rotating shaft 5. An adjustment mechanism 7 for controlling the rotation of the first rotating shaft 4 is provided on the left side of the vacuum coating machine body 2. More specifically, the two ends of a plate-shaped material are placed inside the material clamping components 6 on both sides, and the material ends are clamped and fixed by the material clamping components 6. Then, the sealing door 3 is closed, and the material is vacuum coated. After one side of the material is coated, the first rotating shaft 4 is rotated by the adjustment mechanism 7, thereby driving the material clamping components 6 and the second rotating shaft 5 to rotate, causing the material to rotate and thus flipping the material over.

[0025] The material clamping assembly 6 includes two side plates 601, which are respectively fixedly installed at the ends of the first rotating shaft 4 and the second rotating shaft 5. A support plate 602 is fixedly connected to the side of each side plate 601. A rod 603 is vertically inserted into the surface of each side plate 601, and a clamping plate 604 is fixedly connected to the end of the rod 603. A threaded post 605 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of each side plate 601, and the threaded post 605 is threadedly connected to the rod 603. A knob 606 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded post 605. It should be noted that when the two ends of a plate-shaped material are placed on the top surfaces of the two support plates 602, rotating the knob 606 causes the threaded post 605 to rotate. Under the action of the thread, the rod 603 will be pulled to move, and the rod 603 will push the clamping plate 604 to move, thus clamping and fixing the ends of the material.

[0026] The adjusting mechanism 7 includes two fixed seats 701, both of which are fixedly installed on the left side of the vacuum coating machine body 2. A worm gear 702 is rotatably connected between the two fixed seats 701. A handwheel 703 is fixedly connected to the top of the worm gear 702, and a worm wheel 704 is fixedly sleeved at the end of the first rotating shaft 4, meshing with the worm gear 702. More specifically, by rotating the handwheel 703, the worm gear 702 is rotated, which in turn drives the meshing worm wheel 704 to rotate. The worm wheel 704 then drives the first rotating shaft 4 to rotate, thereby controlling the material clamping assembly 6 and the rotation and even flipping of the material. The material clamping assembly 6 on the right and the second rotating shaft 5 will rotate synchronously.

[0027] A pointer 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first rotating shaft 4, and a scale line 8 is provided on the left side of the vacuum coating machine body 2. It should be noted that when the first rotating shaft 4 rotates, it will drive the scale line 8 to rotate. By observing the pointer 9, the rotation angle of the first rotating shaft 4 can be accurately controlled.

[0028] Both the clamping plate 604 and the support plate 602 have rubber layers on their opposite sides. More specifically, by setting the rubber layers, the friction between the material and the clamped material is increased, making the clamping of the material more stable.

[0029] The insertion rod 603 has a U-shaped structure, and both ends of the insertion rod 603 are fixedly connected to the pressure plate 604. It should be noted that by fixing both ends of the insertion rod 603 to the pressure plate 604, the support for the pressure plate 604 is made more stable.

[0030] In summary: The two ends of the plate-shaped material are placed inside the material clamping components 6 on both sides, and the material clamping components 6 clamp and fix the ends of the material. Then, the sealing door 3 is closed, and the material is vacuum coated. After one side of the material is coated, the first rotating shaft 4 is controlled to rotate by the adjusting mechanism 7, which in turn drives the material clamping components 6 and the second rotating shaft 5 to rotate, causing the material to rotate and thus flip the material. In use, this achieves the effect of easy free flipping of the material, and users can also conveniently operate the material outside the vacuum chamber, making the coating process more convenient.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
