[0020] The following description, in conjunction with embodiments, provides a clear and complete explanation of the technical solution of this utility model, enabling those skilled in the art to fully understand it. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some preferred embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Any equivalent modifications or substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the following embodiments without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a vacuum oven capable of uniform evaporation, comprising a chamber body 1, a chamber door 3 rotatably connected to the top of the chamber body 1, the chamber door 3 and the chamber body 1 being sealed with an O-ring, a perforated plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the chamber door 3, and a vacuum port 8 communicating with the interior of the chamber door 3 at the top of the chamber door 3. A heating plate 2 is disposed inside the chamber body 1, and a baffle 2.1 for oil flow is disposed inside the heating plate 2. A substrate 9 is placed on the heating plate 2, and an inlet / outlet / oil port 5 is disposed at the bottom or side of the chamber body 1, which is connected to an oil bath heating device (not shown in the figure). In this embodiment, oil bath heating is used instead of the conventional electric heating to ensure the uniformity of the surface temperature of the heating plate 2. At the same time, a perforated plate 4 is disposed below the vacuum port 8, which ensures that excess organic coating on the surface of the substrate 9 is uniformly extracted and volatilized, thus ensuring uniform evaporation and drying of the OLED substrate.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an adjusting screw 6 is fixedly installed at the top inside the chamber door 3, and a perforated plate 4 is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 6. The vacuum port 8 is located in the central area above the heating plate 2, and the perforated plate 4 is placed inside the chamber door 3 to evenly disperse the airflow, allowing the coating on the substrate surface to evaporate evenly. By installing the adjusting screw 6 on the perforated plate 4, the distance between it and the substrate 9 can be adjusted according to the actual finished product effect. Assisted pneumatic springs 7 are provided on both sides of the chamber body 1 and the chamber door 3, with both ends of the assisted pneumatic springs 7 connected to the sides of the chamber body 1 and the chamber door 3, respectively. The assisted pneumatic springs 7 automatically open the chamber door 3 when manually opened to a certain angle, and gently close the chamber door 3 when manually closed to a certain angle, making the opening of the chamber door 3 easier and more convenient. The perforated plate 4 at the vacuum port 8 can evenly disperse the airflow, allowing the coating on the substrate 9 to evaporate evenly.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the heating plate 2 is a hollow welded structure. An internal baffle 2.1, which allows for S-shaped oil flow, replaces the oil pipe. The high-temperature oil flowing from the oil bath heating equipment carries its own pressure and can evenly fill the bottom of the heating plate 2, thus uniformly heating its surface. The heating plate 2 is screwed to the bottom of the chamber 1. A sealing ring 2.2 is installed at the bottom center of the heating plate 2. The upper part of the sealing ring 2.2 is welded to the heating plate 2, and the lower part is sealed to the bottom of the chamber 1 via a sealing ring. The area sealed by the sealing ring 2.2 is open to the outside. An inlet / outlet port 5 and a thermal resistance probe 10 are connected within the sealed area. By placing the thermal resistance probe 10 at the bottom of the heating plate 2, the oil bath heating equipment can monitor and control the temperature of the heating plate 2 in real time. The oil bath heating provides high temperature uniformity, achieving a surface temperature uniformity of ±0.5 degrees Celsius for the heating plate 1.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pressure detection port 11 connected to a pressure gauge is provided on the side of the chamber 1. The pressure gauge can be mechanical or electronic. An outer shell 12 is fitted onto the outer surface of the chamber 1, and insulation cotton 13 is filled between the chamber 1 and the outer shell 12.
