Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vacuum coating machines, and more specifically, to a vacuum coating machine for automotive center console panels with a scratch-resistant structure. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum coating machines are high-end surface treatment equipment that deposits thin films on substrate surfaces using physical or chemical processes in a vacuum environment. They are commonly used in the processing of automotive center console panels, primarily to enhance the functionality, aesthetics, and durability of interior components. The working principle involves placing the center console substrate (such as plastic, glass, or metal) within a vacuum chamber. Through techniques such as evaporation, sputtering, ion plating, or chemical vapor deposition, materials such as metals, metal oxides, ceramics, or polymers are uniformly coated onto the substrate surface in nano- to micron-sized films. This significantly enhances the center console panel's wear resistance, corrosion resistance, fingerprint resistance, and stain resistance, while also achieving diverse visual effects (such as metallic textures, gradient colors, matte or high-gloss surfaces) to meet the automotive industry's aesthetic demands for high-end interiors. The vacuum coating process is environmentally friendly, avoiding the heavy metal pollution problems of traditional electroplating processes, and can achieve special functions such as anti-glare and anti-reflection through multi-layer film structure design. The equipment typically integrates an automated control system, which can precisely control the coating thickness, uniformity, and adhesion to meet the surface treatment needs of center console panels with different complex shapes. It has become one of the core processes for improving interior quality under the trend of automotive intelligence and lightweighting.
[0003] Currently, when processing automotive center console panels using vacuum coating machines, two sets of clamps are used to fix the two sides of the center console panel respectively. However, the rigid contact of the clamps during fixing can easily cause minor scratches or indentations on the edges or surfaces, resulting in damage to the center console panel. At the same time, the clamping efficiency is low, thus reducing the practicality of the device. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this application provides a vacuum coating machine for automotive center console panels with a scratch-resistant structure. The aim is to improve the problem that when automotive center console panels are processed and fixed using a vacuum coating machine, the rigid contact of the clamping plate can easily cause minor scratches or indentations on the edges or surfaces, resulting in damage to the center console panel. At the same time, the clamping efficiency is low, which reduces the practicality of the device.
[0005] This application provides a vacuum coating machine for automotive center console panels with a scratch-resistant structure, including a vacuum coating machine body and a clamping structure.

[0008] In one specific implementation, a limit rod is provided on one side of the lifting plate, and the limit rod is slidably connected to the fixed plate.
[0009] In the above implementation process, the movement of the lifting plate can be conveniently limited by the sliding connection between the limiting rod and the fixed plate.
[0010] In one specific implementation, a bearing is embedded on one side of the lifting plate, and the screw is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the bearing.
[0011] In the above implementation process, the interference fit between the screw and the inner ring of the bearing facilitates the rotational connection between the screw and the lifting plate, and also facilitates the lifting and lowering of the lifting plate.
[0012] In one specific implementation, a rotating block is provided at one end of the screw.
[0013] In the above implementation process, by setting a rotating block at one end of the screw, the user can easily rotate the screw, saving time and effort.
[0014] In one specific implementation, a groove is provided on one side of the sliding plate, and the U-shaped support frame is slidably connected to the groove.
[0015] In the above implementation process, the U-shaped support frame is slidably connected to the slide groove, which makes it easy to disassemble and remove the U-shaped support frame, and facilitates the placement and removal of the car center console panel.
[0016] In one specific implementation, a positioning component is provided inside the sliding plate. The positioning component includes a rotating rod and a positioning groove. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the sliding plate. A positioning groove is opened on one side of the sliding plate. The rotating rod is disposed in the positioning groove. The U-shaped support frame is in contact with the rotating rod.
[0017] In the above implementation process, the locking and releasing of the U-shaped support frame is achieved by setting up the rotating rod and positioning groove, which improves work efficiency.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are: by utilizing the elastic buffering properties of rubber blocks and rubber pads, direct hard contact between the traditional rigid clamping and the edge or surface of the car center console is avoided, effectively reducing the risk of scratches or indentations caused by concentrated clamping force during the coating process. At the same time, by setting the drive component, multi-point flexible clamping is achieved, thereby improving clamping efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0029] In a specific configuration, a positioning component 130 is provided inside the sliding plate 120. The positioning component 130 includes a rotating rod 131 and a positioning groove 132. The rotating rod 131 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 120. A positioning groove 132 is provided on one side of the sliding plate 120.

The locking and releasing of the U-shaped support frame 210 is achieved through the setting of the rotating rod 131 and the positioning groove 132, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The clamping structure 20 includes a U-shaped support frame 210, two fixed boxes 220, a drive assembly 230, a rubber block 240, a placement frame 250, and a rubber pad 260. The U-shaped support frame 210 is slidably connected to two sliding plates 120. Two fixed boxes 220 are arranged opposite each other inside the U-shaped support frame 210. The drive assembly 230 is connected to the two fixed boxes 220. The rubber block 240 is connected to the drive assembly 230.

Two sets of fixed boxes 220 are provided to facilitate simultaneous coating of two automotive center console panels, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0031] In a specific configuration, the drive assembly 230 includes a fixed plate 231, a lifting plate 232, a screw 233, a first gear plate 234, a rotating shaft 235, a first gear 236, two second gears 237, and two second gear plates 238. The fixed plate 231 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped support frame 210. The screw 233 is threadedly connected to the fixed plate 231 and rotatably connected to the lifting plate 232. First gear plates 234 are fixedly connected to both ends of the lifting plate 232.

[0032] In a specific configuration, a limit rod 270 is provided on one side of the lifting plate 232. The limit rod 270 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 231. The slidable connection between the limit rod 270 and the fixed plate 231 facilitates the limitation of the movement of the lifting plate 232.
[0033] In the specific configuration, a bearing is embedded on one side of the lifting plate 232, and the screw 233 is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the bearing.

The U-shaped support frame 210 can be easily disassembled and removed by sliding the sliding groove, which facilitates the placement and removal of the car center console panel.
[0036] The working principle of this vacuum coating machine for automotive center consoles with an anti-scratch structure is as follows: When using the vacuum coating machine for automotive center consoles with an anti-scratch structure, two automotive center consoles are placed on the rubber pads 260 of two placement frames 250 respectively. The rotating block at the end of the rotating screw 233 drives the lifting plate 232 to move along the limit rod 270, which drives the first toothed plate 234 to rotate in conjunction with the first gear 236. The rotating shaft 235 synchronously drives the second toothed plate 238, which is engaged by two sets of second gears 237, to move laterally, so that the rubber blocks 260 on both sides can be rotated. 40. The center console panel is symmetrically clamped. The elastic buffering characteristics of the rubber block 240 and the rubber pad 260 are used to avoid direct hard contact between the edge or surface of the car center console panel and the traditional rigid clamping. This effectively reduces the risk of scratches or indentations caused by concentrated clamping force during the coating process. At the same time, multi-point flexible clamping is achieved, which improves the clamping efficiency. After clamping, the bottom of the U-shaped support frame 210 is pushed into the vacuum coating machine body 110 along the sliding groove of the sliding plate 120. The rotating rod 131 is rotated to lock the U-shaped support frame 210, and the coating is carried out by the vacuum coating machine.
[0037] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the vacuum coating machine body 110 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.
[0038] The power supply and its principle for the main body 110 of the vacuum coating machine are clear to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
