Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling structure technology, specifically a cooling structure for a vacuum coating machine. Background Technology
[0002] A vacuum coating machine is a device that deposits materials (such as metals, alloys, or compounds) onto the surface of a substrate in a vacuum environment using physical or chemical methods to form a thin film. This technology is widely used in various industries such as electronics, optics, decoration, and packaging to improve the performance, appearance, or function of materials. Vacuum coating machines generate a significant amount of heat during operation, requiring cooling devices to absorb this heat, reduce the temperature of the working environment, and ensure the machine's normal operation.
[0003] In existing cooling structures, semiconductor cooling chips are used in conjunction with heat dissipation fins. By extending the heat dissipation fins into the vacuum coating machine, the semiconductor cooling chip is activated to cool the interior of the vacuum coating machine. However, since the heat dissipation fins cool the interior of the vacuum coating machine through air, as the heat of the vacuum coating machine increases, this cooling structure alone is insufficient to meet the cooling requirements. Therefore, a new cooling structure for vacuum coating machines is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] This utility model provides a technical solution: a cooling structure for a vacuum coating machine. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,include:
[0027] The outer frame 1 has a semiconductor cooling chip 2 fixedly installed on its left end. The cooling end of the semiconductor cooling chip 2 is located inside the outer frame 1 and a first heat-conducting plate 3 is fixedly installed thereon.
[0028] The first heat-conducting fin 4 is fixedly installed at equal intervals on one side of the outer side of the first heat-conducting plate 3. Heat insulation plates 8 are fixedly installed on both sides between adjacent first heat-conducting fins 4. Three heat-conducting pipes 11 are installed between adjacent heat insulation plates 8. A second heat-conducting pad 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer side of the heat-conducting pipe 11.
[0029] Water distributor 9 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the first heat-conducting fin 4, and the water distributor 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the heat-conducting pipe 11.
[0030] The water collector 10 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the first heat-conducting fin 4, and the water collector 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the heat-conducting pipe 11.
[0031] Water pipe 13 is fixedly installed on the left end of water distributor 9 and water collector 10 respectively. A second return spring 14 is fixedly installed on the outside of water distributor 9 and water collector 10 near the semiconductor cooling chip 2. The second return spring 14 is located outside of water pipe 13.
[0032] Please see Figure 2 A first return spring 5 is fixedly installed at the center of the right end of the first heat-conducting plate 3. A temperature sensor probe 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first return spring 5. The temperature sensor probe 6 is used to detect the temperature of the inner wall of the vacuum coating machine.
[0033] Please see Figure 2 A first thermal pad 7 is installed on one end of the temperature sensor probe 6, and the first thermal pad 7 is fixedly connected to the temperature sensor probe 6. The first thermal pad 7 improves the thermal conductivity between the temperature sensor probe 6 and the vacuum coating machine.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The heating end of the semiconductor cooling chip 2 is fixedly mounted with a second heat-conducting plate 16, and the outer side of the second heat-conducting plate 16 is fixedly mounted with second heat-conducting fins 17 at equal intervals.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fan 18 is fixedly installed on the left end of the second heat-conducting plate 16 via a side bracket. The fan 18 is used to dissipate heat from the second heat-conducting plate 16.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A sealing gasket 15 is installed on the outer edge of the right end of the outer frame 1, and the sealing gasket 15 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 1.

When the vacuum coating machine needs cooling, the semiconductor cooling chip 2 is activated. The cooling end of the semiconductor cooling chip 2 cools the air through the first heat-conducting plate 3 and the first heat-conducting fins 4 to the inside of the vacuum coating machine for cooling. When the temperature sensor probe 6 detects that the temperature drop is slow, the water source is activated to flow water through the heat-conducting pipe 11, which works in conjunction with the second heat-conducting pad 12 for heat exchange. The combination of liquid cooling and semiconductor cooling provides dual cooling, improving cooling efficiency.
