TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to target cylinder fixing technical field, especially in integral type target cylinder fixing nut. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the vacuum magnetron sputtering coating equipment, the target material is usually installed outside the magnetic bar assembly, and cooling water needs to be continuously supplied to the target material to cool the magnetic bar assembly, so the end of the target material needs to be sealed and connected with the connecting end of the rotating cathode.
[0003] In the traditional rotating cathode, the target material clamp is usually used for sealing and connection, but currently, the conventional clamp type clamp is usually used for sealing and connection. In the clamp type clamp, the metal sealing ring is the key to determine the sealing performance, and it needs to be accurately embedded in the sealing groove of the target material outer wall to realize sealing connection. However, in the actual installation process, when the upper clamp body and the lower clamp body are clamped, the metal sealing ring is in the visual blind area, so the installation worker needs to repeatedly align to make the metal sealing ring embedded in the sealing groove of the target material outer wall. SUMMARY
[0004] The utility model discloses a kind of integral type target cylinder fixing nuts, adopt integral type target cylinder fixing nut, and sealing is carried out by screw metal sealing ring into the sealing groove of target material outer wall.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an integral type target cylinder fixing nut, which is arranged at both ends of the target cylinder and seals and connects the connecting end of the target material and the rotating cathode;It comprises a sleeve part and an end plate part.
[0006] A thread groove is formed in the inner wall of the sleeve part for placing the screw metal sealing ring. With the rotation of the target cylinder fixing nut, the screw metal sealing ring is rotated into the sealing groove of the target material outer wall.
[0007] The end plate part is annular and arranged at one end of the sleeve part. During the rotation of the target cylinder fixing nut, the end plate part serves as axial limiting.
[0008] A plurality of locking holes are formed in the end plate part. The target cylinder fixing nut is fixed to the end of the target cylinder by bolts penetrating through the locking holes, so as to prevent the target cylinder from loosening during use. The purpose of fixing the target cylinder is to make the O-shaped sealing ring between the target cylinder and the connecting end of the rotating cathode reliable.
[0009] Preferably, the cross section of the screw metal sealing ring is circular, with one half embedded in the thread groove and the other half embedded in the sealing groove of the target material outer wall.
[0010] Preferably, the locking holes are four in number and uniformly distributed around the central axis of the end plate part.
[0011] Preferably, a plurality of positioning holes are further formed in the end plate portion for positioning the target cylinder fixing nut and the connecting component.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:
[0013] The integrated target cylinder fixing nut is sleeved on the sealing end of the target material, and then the target cylinder fixing nut is continuously rotated to rotate the spiral metal sealing ring into the sealing groove of the target material, so that the metal sealing ring can be more accurately attached to the target material, higher fixing force and stability are provided, and compared with the clamping type hoop, the target cylinder fixing nut is an integrated structure, is more reliable, and is convenient to install.
