Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum coating equipment technology, specifically a vacuum coating device with protective function. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, in vacuum coating technology, to form a thin film with specific functions, such as corrosion resistance, optical properties, or decorative effects, on the surface of various materials, it is usually necessary to conduct the process in a highly controlled environment. This environment is generally created in a sealed cavity, where air and other impurities are removed by vacuuming, and then the thin film material is deposited onto the substrate. Traditional vacuum coating equipment may lack sufficient safety protection measures. When operators approach the equipment, they may accidentally touch the non-emergency button on the controller, which may interrupt the ongoing coating process, affect product quality, or even cause equipment failure. In some cases, unauthorized operation or accidental collision may cause the vacuum coating machine door to be accidentally opened, or the controller and other critical components to be physically damaged. This situation not only endangers the safety of operators but may also damage the product being processed and damage the equipment itself. Although some vacuum coating equipment has achieved a certain degree of automation, there are still problems with insufficient automation in terms of protection mechanisms and emergency shutdown. For example, when it is necessary to activate the protection mode, manual intervention may still be required to ensure that safety measures are in place. Therefore, it is necessary to propose solutions to this technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a vacuum coating device with protective function, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This protective vacuum coating device features a protective shell that moves linearly to the controller position via an electrically driven slider, completely covering the non-emergency buttons. This effectively prevents operators from accidentally triggering other control buttons during the vacuum coating process, ensuring stable operation of the equipment according to the predetermined program. The emergency button sleeve on the protective shell is precisely aligned with the emergency button on the controller, allowing operators to quickly and accurately trigger the emergency button even in the protected state. This enables the vacuum coating mechanism to be shut down rapidly in emergencies, minimizing potential risks and losses. When the electromagnetic lock is activated, it firmly holds the iron plate, ensuring the electric slider and protective shell remain in their fixed positions. This not only improves the overall stability of the device but also prevents accidental displacement or collisions caused by external forces, protecting internal components from damage.
[0017] The reinforcing block driven by the telescopic mechanism can hold the side door of the vacuum coating mechanism in place, preventing the side door from being accidentally opened during operation. This further enhances the system's sealing and safety, avoiding process failures or safety issues caused by the side door not being closed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model relates to a vacuum coating device with protective function, comprising a body 1, on which a controller 2 and a vacuum coating mechanism 3 are mounted. The controller 2 is located on one side of the body 1 and has a display screen 4 and control buttons 5. A protective mechanism is provided between the controller 2 and the body 1. The protective mechanism includes a slide rail 6, an iron plate 7, and a protective shell 8. The slide rail 6 and the iron plate 7 are both mounted on the front side of the body 1. An electric slider 9 is provided on the slide rail 6, and an electromagnetic lock 10 is provided at the top of the electric slider 9. The electromagnetic lock 10 abuts against the bottom end of the iron plate 7. The protective shell 8... Installed at the bottom of the electric slider 9, a docking groove is provided on one side of the protective shell 8, and an emergency button sleeve 11 is provided between the docking groove and the front side of the protective shell 8. A transparent plate 12 and a telescopic mechanism 13 are provided on the front side of the protective shell 8, and a reinforcing block 14 is provided at the output end of the telescopic mechanism 13. A guide mechanism is provided between the protective shell 8 and the body 1. In this embodiment, the vacuum coating mechanism 3 is controlled by the controller 2. The vacuum coating mechanism 3 is an existing vacuum coating device, which will not be described in detail in this structure. The operator programs the telescopic mechanism 13 and the electric slider 9 into the controller 2, which can be used to open... After vacuum coating, the electric slider 9 moves on the slide rail 6, driving the electromagnetic lock 10 and the protective shell 8 to move linearly. The protective shell 8 can move linearly to the front of the machine body 1, and one side of the protective shell 8 moves to the position of the controller 2. The controller 2 is located on the docking groove of the protective shell 8, and the display screen 4 on the controller 2 can be displayed normally through the transparent plate 12. At this time, the emergency button sleeve 11 of the protective shell 8 can be aligned with the emergency button of the controller 2. The protective shell 8 can prevent personnel from accidentally touching the control button 5, ensuring the normal operation of the vacuum coating mechanism 3. When an abnormality occurs, the emergency button sleeve 11 can be used to press the emergency button in the control button 5. The controller 2 can shut down the vacuum coating mechanism 3 in a timely manner. By opening the electromagnetic lock 10, the electromagnetic lock 10 attracts the iron plate 7, thereby firmly protecting the electric slider 9 and the protective shell 8 and preventing personnel from pushing the protective shell 8. By using the output end of the telescopic mechanism 13 to linearly move the reinforcing block 14, the reinforcing block 14 can abut against the side door of the vacuum coating mechanism 3, which can prevent personnel from accidentally opening the side door and further improve the safety protection performance during use. After the vacuum coating is completed, the controller 2 closes the electromagnetic lock 10, the electromagnetic lock 10 stops attracting the iron plate 7, and controls the electric slider 9 and the telescopic mechanism 13 to reset, thereby facilitating the normal use of the controller 2.
[0025] In this solution, the guiding mechanism includes a slide bar 15 and a slide groove. The slide groove is formed on the protective shell 8, and the slide bar 15 is installed on the front side of the body 1. The slide bar 15 passes through the slide groove. When the slide bar 15 passes through the slide groove on the protective shell 8, it can improve the stability of the protective shell 8 when it moves, and move more smoothly in a straight line on the front side of the body 1.
[0026] In this design, both the groove and the slide bar 15 are T-shaped. The T-shaped structure of the groove and the slide bar 15 can further improve the linear movement stability of the protective shell 8.
[0027] In this solution, the telescopic mechanism 13 is a hydraulic rod, which enables the reinforcing block 14 to move more stably in a straight line, ensuring that the reinforcing block 14 is stably and reliably pressed against the side door of the vacuum coating mechanism 3.
[0028] In this solution, the slide rail 6 is provided with limiting plates 16 at both ends. The limiting plates 16 can limit the electric slider 9 and prevent the electric slider 9 from disengaging from the slide rail 6.
[0029] In this solution, an arc groove 17 is provided on one side of the reinforcing block 14. The arc groove 17 on one side of the reinforcing block 14 enables the reinforcing block 14 to fit more closely against the vacuum coating mechanism 3, thereby improving the stability of the side door of the vacuum coating mechanism 3.
[0030] In this design, a sealing strip is provided around one side of the docking groove, which improves the sealing between the docking groove and the controller 2.
[0031] In this solution, the limiting plate 16 is provided with anti-collision pads 18, which can reduce the possibility of the electric slider 9 hitting and damaging the limiting plate 16.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
