[0040] In the current vacuum coating process, the operating environment of the vacuum cavity of the coating equipment needs to be converted from high vacuum to atmospheric state before and after coating. Therefore, the vacuum breaking process needs to be performed. The existing vacuum breaking assembly has a small gas flow. Therefore, a certain period of time needs to be waited before the vacuum breaking process can be performed, thereby leading to long time and low efficiency, and the vacuum cavity cannot be quickly restored to the atmospheric state.
[0041] The embodiment of the present application provides a vacuum breaking device. In some embodiments, the vacuum breaking device comprises a mounting frame 100, a linear drive assembly 200 and a sealing cover 300. Specifically, the mounting frame 100 has a first accommodating cavity 101 which is in communication with the outside in the radial direction. An air inlet hole 102 is formed in the axial end of the mounting frame 100 and is in communication with the first accommodating cavity 101. The linear drive assembly 200 is fixedly installed at the end of the mounting frame 100 away from the air inlet hole 102. The sealing cover 300 is installed at the telescopic end of the linear drive assembly 200 and is located in the first accommodating cavity 101. The linear drive assembly 200 drives the sealing cover 300 to close or open the air inlet hole 102.
[0042] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the air inlet hole 102 is in communication with the vacuum cavity. When the vacuum cavity is in a vacuum state, the linear drive assembly 200 drives the sealing cover 300 to block the air inlet hole 102 at this time, preventing the vacuum cavity from being in communication with the outside. When the vacuum breaking operation is needed, the linear drive assembly 200 drives the sealing cover 300 to remove the blockage of the air inlet hole 102. At this time, the air inlet hole 102 is in communication with the outside atmosphere through the first accommodating cavity 101. Under the action of air pressure, a large amount of air from the outside will enter the vacuum cavity in communication with the air inlet hole 102 through the first accommodating cavity 101, so that the vacuum cavity in communication with the air inlet hole 102 is quickly restored to the atmospheric state, realizing the effect of vacuum breaking.
[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , the mounting frame 100 is cylindrical, the air inlet hole 102 is arranged at the lower end surface of the mounting frame 100, the linear drive assembly 200 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting frame 100, and the sealing cover 300 is located inside the mounting frame 100. In order to be able to close the air inlet hole 102 through the sealing cover 300, the area of the sealing cover 300 should be greater than the area of the air inlet hole 102. Specifically, the air inlet hole 102 and the sealing cover 300 are both circular.
[0044] The mounting frame 100 comprises a first plate 110, a plurality of connecting columns 120 and a second plate 130, the linear drive assembly 200 is fixedly installed on the first plate 110, the connecting columns 120 are uniformly spaced and fixedly installed on the end face of the first plate 110 away from the linear drive assembly 200, the second plate 130 is fixedly installed on the end face of the connecting columns 120 away from the first plate 110, the air inlet hole 102 is arranged on the second plate 130, and the first plate 110, the connecting columns 120 and the second plate 130 define the first containing cavity 101.
[0045] Referring to Figure 1 The first plate 110 and the second plate 130 are connected through the plurality of connecting columns 120, the first plate 110, the connecting columns 120 and the second plate 130 constitute the mounting frame 100, and since the cross section of the connecting columns 120 is small, that is, the area occupied by the end face of the first plate 110 and the connecting columns 120 is small, therefore, the area formed between the two adjacent connecting columns 120 is a channel for external air to enter the first containing cavity 101, that is, the air inlet channel is much larger than the proportion of the connecting columns 120 in the outer circumferential surface of the mounting frame 100, when it is necessary to break the vacuum, the external gas can quickly enter the first containing cavity 101, and then enter the vacuum cavity in communication with the air inlet hole 102 through the first containing cavity 101, so that the vacuum cavity returns to the atmospheric state.
[0046] The end of the first plate 110 towards the second plate 130 is fixedly installed with a filter core 400, the end of the filter core 400 away from the first plate 110 is connected with the end face of the second plate 130 towards the first plate 110, the filter core 400 is located in the first containing cavity 101, the filter core 400 has a second containing cavity 410, the sealing cover 300 is located in the second containing cavity 410, and the air inlet hole 102 is in communication with the second containing cavity 410.
[0047] Referring to Figure 1 And Figure 2 As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 4, since dust exists in the atmospheric air, if the external air directly enters the vacuum cavity in communication with the air inlet hole 102 through the first containing cavity 101, the dust will also enter the vacuum cavity, thereby causing pollution of the vacuum cavity, therefore, a filter core 400 is fixedly installed between the first plate 110 and the second plate 130, the filter core 400 has a second containing cavity 410, in order to prevent external dust from entering the air inlet hole 102, the air inlet hole 102 is in communication with the second containing cavity 410, that is, the second containing cavity 410 covers the air inlet hole 102 inside, so that the gas entering the air inlet hole 102 is first filtered by the filter core 400.
[0048] It can be connected that the filter element 400 can be any component that can play a filtering effect, and specific limitations are not made, for example: the filter element 400 is a combination, which can be combined by fiber materials, activated carbon, and filter paper, etc. The fiber material can be polyester fiber, glass fiber, etc., which can effectively block particulate matter; activated carbon has strong adsorption effect, thereby removing odors, harmful gases, etc., and filter paper can filter small dust and other impurities.
[0049] The end face of the second plate member 130 away from the first plate member 110 is fixedly installed with an air inlet pipe 500, the air inlet pipe 500 is in communication with the air inlet hole 102, and the air inlet pipe 500 is arranged along the circumference of the air inlet hole 102.
[0050] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that the air inlet hole 102 can be communicated with components such as vacuum cavities that need to break vacuum through the air inlet pipe 500, that is, the air inlet pipe 500 plays the role of a communication pipeline at this time. It can be understood that the cross-sectional area of the air inlet pipe 500 is greater than the area of the air inlet hole 102, the air inlet pipe 500 covers the air inlet hole 102 inside it, and the air inlet pipe 500 is connected to the second plate member 130 at the circumferential direction of the air inlet hole 102.
[0051] The linear drive assembly 200 includes a linear drive member 210, a transmission rod 220, and a connecting head 230. The transmission rod 220 is connected to the telescopic end of the linear drive member 210. The connecting head 230 is arranged at the end of the transmission rod 220 away from the linear drive member 210. The circumferential surface of the connecting head 230 has a limiting groove 240.
[0052] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is shown that in the present embodiment, the linear drive member 210 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first plate member 110. The transmission rod 220 connected to the telescopic end of the linear drive member 210 is located inside the second accommodating cavity 410, and the connecting head 230 at the end of the transmission rod 220 is connected to the sealing cover 300, so that when the linear drive member 210 drives the transmission rod 220 to move, the sealing cover 300 can also be driven to move through the connecting head 230. When the sealing cover 300 is moved to the position of the air inlet hole 102, the air inlet hole 102 is closed. When the sealing cover 300 is moved away from the air inlet hole 102, the air inlet hole 102 is opened. The air outside is filtered by the filter element 400 and enters the air inlet hole 102, and then enters the components that need to break vacuum through the air inlet pipe 500.
[0053] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the linear drive member 210 is a gas cylinder.
[0054] The end face of the sealing cover 300 towards the connecting head 230 is provided with a protrusion 310, and a mounting groove 320 is formed in the protrusion 310 and matched with the connecting head 230; and the face of the connecting head 230 away from the linear driving member 210 is an arc face.
[0055] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 illustred, the connecting head 230 is inserted into the mounting groove 320 to be clamped and mounted, the limiting groove 240 on the circumferential surface of the connecting head 230 is used to avoid the protrusion 310 to prevent movement interference with the protrusion 310 during installation, and the connecting head 230 has a certain amount of movement in the mounting groove 320, that is, the connecting head 230 and the mounting groove 320 are not fixedly connected.
[0056] Further, the end of the connecting head 230 is an arc face, specifically a hemispherical face, when the bottom surface of the sealing cover 300 and the upper surface of the second plate member 130 are not parallel due to machining or installation, the connecting head 230 moves in the mounting groove 320 and is pressed to make the bottom surface of the sealing cover 300 and the upper surface of the second plate member 130 closely contact, to ensure the sealing property.
[0057] The end face of the sealing cover 300 towards the air inlet hole 102 is provided with a sealing assembly 600, the sealing assembly 600 comprises a containing groove 610 formed in the end face of the sealing cover 300 towards the air inlet hole 102, and a sealing member 620 is mounted in the containing groove 610; and the sealing member 620 partially protrudes from the end face of the sealing cover 300 towards the air inlet hole 102.
[0058] As shown in Figure 5 illustrated, in order to ensure the sealing property of the sealing cover 300 to the air inlet hole 102, the lower surface of the sealing cover 300 needs to closely contact with the upper surface of the second plate member 130, and for this purpose, the sealing assembly 600 is arranged on the lower surface of the sealing cover 300 to seal the air inlet hole 102, specifically, the containing groove 610 is formed in the bottom surface of the sealing cover 300, and the sealing member 620 is mounted in the containing groove 610 and partially protrudes from the bottom surface of the sealing cover 300, and when it is needed to close the air inlet hole 102, the sealing member 620 can fully contact with the upper surface of the second plate member 130 to prevent the gap between the sealing cover 300 and the second plate member 130.
[0059] In this embodiment, the containing groove 610 is a dovetail groove, and the sealing member 620 is a sealing ring, for example, an O-shaped groove.
