DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the utility model, and can be implemented according to the content of the specification, the following combining the drawing and embodiment, the embodiment of the utility model is further detailedly described, the following embodiment is used to illustrate the utility model, but not to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0026] In existing technology, vacuum plasma equipment has a material inlet through which materials are placed inside the equipment for processing. To create a relatively sealed space, the vacuum plasma equipment also has a door, which is hinged to the material inlet. The door is used to open or close the material inlet. Currently used hinges generally consist of two rotating parts that can rotate relative to each other. To reduce wear between the rotating parts, a gasket is placed at the junction of the rotating parts. However, during the use of the vacuum plasma equipment, the gasket on the hinge is prone to wear, causing the hinge to shift and the door to drop downwards. This prevents the door from sealing the material inlet properly and affects the vacuum environment inside the equipment.

[0027] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a vacuum plasma device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a vacuum plasma device includes a cavity 1 and a door 3. The cavity 1 has a chamber inside and a material inlet. The door 3 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cavity 1 via a hinge 2. The door 3 is used to close or open the material inlet. The hinge 2 includes a first connector 21 and a second connector 22 rotatably connected to the first connector 21. The first connector 21 is fixedly connected to the door 3, and the second connector 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cavity 1. The first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are connected together by a rotating shaft. A bidirectional thrust ball bearing 23 is provided in the gap between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22. The bidirectional thrust ball bearing 23 is sleeved on the rotating shaft, thereby avoiding the need to place a gasket between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22. During the closing or opening of door 3, the bidirectional thrust ball bearing 23 can rotate as door 3 closes or opens. Since the friction generated by the bidirectional thrust ball bearing 23 is small, the hinge 2 will not shift and cause the door to fall down during long-term use of the vacuum plasma equipment, thus ensuring the sealing effect of door 3 on the material inlet.

[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the bidirectional thrust ball bearing 23 includes a first engaging portion 231 and a second engaging portion 232. A rolling device 233 is provided between the first engaging portion 231 and the second engaging portion 232. The first engaging portion 231 and the second engaging portion 232 are respectively provided with matching engaging structures. The first engaging portion 231 and the second engaging portion 232 are engaged together through the engaging structures, and the first engaging portion 231 and the second engaging portion 232 can rotate relative to each other. At the same time, a receiving space is formed between the first engaging portion 231 and the second engaging portion 232. The rolling device 233 is limited between the first engaging portion 231 and the second engaging portion 232. The space formed by 232 is accommodating the rolling device 233, which can accommodate the rolling within the space, thereby reducing the friction between the rolling device 233 and the first snap-fit ​​part 231 or the second snap-fit ​​part 232. In addition, the first snap-fit ​​part 231 and the second snap-fit ​​part 232 are respectively provided with a first through hole 234. The first through hole 234 is used for the bidirectional thrust ball bearing 23 to be sleeved on the rotating shaft connecting the first connecting member 21 and the second connecting member 22. This makes it easy to install the bidirectional thrust ball bearing 23 between the first connecting member 21 and the second connecting member 22, avoiding the first connecting member 21 and the second connecting member 22 from contacting each other and generating friction.

[0030] In some embodiments, since the spherical object experiences less friction during rolling, the rolling device 233 is configured as a spherical shape. The first locking part 231 and the corresponding positions of the first locking part 231 are respectively provided with arc-shaped grooves 235. The rolling device 233 is confined to the arc-shaped grooves 235 to roll, thereby ensuring the stability of the rolling device 233 during the rolling process.

The protrusion 211 can be at least accommodated in the receiving portion 221. The protrusion 211 is provided with a second through hole, and the receiving portion 221 is provided with a third through hole. The hinge 2 also includes a rotating shaft, which passes through the third through hole and the second through hole to rotatably connect the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 together.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating shaft extends at least partially through a third through hole, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively provided with fixing members 24. The rotating shaft is fixed to the second connecting member 22 by the fixing members 24. In this application, the two ends of the rotating shaft can be provided with threads, the fixing member 24 can be a nut, and a washer can be provided between the nut and the second connecting member 22.

[0033] In some embodiments, in order to firmly limit the rotation shaft from rotating, only the first connector 21 rotates around the rotation shaft during use. The side wall of the receiving part 221 is provided with an elastic device perpendicular to the rotation shaft. The elastic device abuts against the rotation shaft and can apply pressure to the rotation shaft, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotation shaft. The elastic device here can be a spring.

[0034] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the installation of the elastic device, the side wall of the receiving portion 221 is provided with a mounting hole 222 perpendicular to the rotation axis, and the elastic device is disposed in the mounting hole 222.

[0035] In some embodiments, the door 3 is provided with an observation port, and the observation port is fitted with glass 32 through a flange 31, so that the processing status of the materials inside the equipment can be observed in a timely manner through the observation port.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate fixing and opening the door, this application also includes a latching structure 4. The latching structure 4 includes a first fixing part 41, a second fixing part 42, and a holding part 43 fixedly connected to the first fixing part 41. The second fixing part 42 is fixed on the side wall of the cavity 1, and the first fixing part 41 is fixed on the door 3. The first fixing part 41 is provided with a slot 45, and at least part of the holding part 43 can be engaged in the slot 45. The holding part 43 is provided with a handle 44.

[0037] In some embodiments, the chamber is connected to a vacuum pump, which provides power to create a vacuum within the chamber.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
