Figure 4 The coating assemblies 33 are not shown in the embodiment, and only the installation positions 34 of the coating assemblies are shown.

[0050] Moreover, the arc-shaped cavity walls 49 will be inclined to one side of the optical coating process cavity (in the embodiment, the arc-shaped cavity wall 49 of the first optical coating process cavity 24 is inclined to the side where the inlet is located, and the arc-shaped cavity wall 49 of the second optical coating process cavity 25 is inclined to the side where the outlet is located), and the other side will have more space, which is used as a device installation wall 50, so that other devices, such as a cryogenic device and a molecular pump, can be installed.

[0051] Of course, a plug valve 31 will be arranged between the connected cavities, and when the cavity needs to be vacuumized for operation, the cavity will be sealed and separated from other cavities through the plug valve 31. The inlet of the pre-processing cavity 23 and the outlet of the post-processing cavity 26 are provided with corresponding conventional sealable doors 30, so as to realize the closing and opening of the inlets and outlets.

[0052] The inlet and the outlet of the four-cavity vacuum coating machine are directly connected through a straight connecting platform 28, and the connecting length of the connecting platform 28 of the embodiment is small, the conveying distance is short, and the occupied area is small.

[0053] The embodiment is provided with a rotating frame transmission and reversing mechanism 9 which can convey the rotating frame and reverse the conveying direction in the first optical coating process cavity 24 and the second optical coating process cavity 25, and is provided with a straight line conveying mechanism 29 which can convey the rotating frame in one direction in the pre-processing cavity 23 and the post-processing cavity 29, and is respectively provided with intermediate conveying mechanisms 36 for supporting and conveying the rotating frame 21 forward at the outlet of the pre-processing cavity 23, the inlet of the first optical coating process cavity 24, the outlet of the first optical coating process cavity 24, the inlet of the second optical coating process cavity 25, the outlet of the second optical coating process cavity 25 and the inlet of the post-processing cavity 26, and is respectively provided with supporting mechanisms 35 at the inlet of the pre-processing cavity 23, the inlet of the second optical coating process cavity 25 and the outlet of the post-processing cavity 26.

Figure 17 As shown, during the conveying process, the guide rail 22 first triggers the second position sensor 6.2, starting the intermediate conveying mechanism 36 at the outlet of the pre-processing cavity 23. Then, after entering the first optical coating process cavity 24, it triggers the third position sensor 6.3, starting the intermediate conveying mechanism 36 at the entrance of the first optical coating process cavity 24 and the first conveying motor of the rotating frame transmission and reversing mechanism 9 of the first optical coating process cavity 24. Finally, the rotating frame 21 moves completely onto the rotating frame transmission and reversing mechanism 9 of the first optical coating process cavity 24. At this time, the fourth position sensor 6.4 is triggered, and the motor stops. Figure 18 As shown, the corresponding gate valve 31 is then closed, a vacuum is drawn, and the first coating process is carried out in the first optical coating process chamber 24.

[0076] P4, after the first coating process is completed, the corresponding gate valve 31 opens, and the rotary motor of the rotating frame transport and reversing mechanism 9 of the first optical coating process cavity 24 starts, causing the rotating frame 21 to rotate 90°. Then, the first conveying motor of the rotating frame transport and reversing mechanism 9 of the first optical coating process cavity 24 and the intermediate conveying mechanism 36 at the outlet of the first optical coating process cavity 24 start, conveying to the second optical coating process cavity 25, such as... Figure 19 As shown, during the conveying process, when the guide rail 22 triggers the fifth position sensor 6.5, the first conveying motor of the intermediate conveying mechanism 36 at the entrance of the second optical coating process cavity 25 and the rotating frame transmission and reversing mechanism 9 of the second optical coating process cavity 25 starts, ultimately causing the rotating frame 21 to move completely onto the rotating frame transmission and reversing mechanism 9 of the second optical coating process cavity 25. At this time, the sixth position sensor 6.6 is triggered, and the motor stops. Figure 20 As shown, the corresponding gate valve 31 is then closed, a vacuum is drawn, and the second coating process is carried out in the second optical coating process chamber 25.

[0077] P5, after the second coating process is completed, the corresponding gate valve 31 opens, and the rotary motor of the rotating frame transport and reversing mechanism 9 of the second optical coating process chamber 25 starts, causing the rotating frame 21 to rotate 90°. Then, the first conveying motor of the rotating frame transport and reversing mechanism 9 of the second optical coating process chamber 25 and the intermediate conveying mechanism 36 at the outlet of the second optical coating process chamber 25 start, conveying to the subsequent processing chamber 26, such as... Figure 21 As shown, during the conveying process, when the guide rail 22 triggers the seventh position sensor 6.7, the intermediate conveying mechanism 36 and the linear conveying mechanism 29 of the post-processing chamber 26 are activated, ultimately conveying the rotating frame 21 onto the linear conveying mechanism 29 of the post-processing chamber 26. At this time, the guide rail disengages from the seventh position sensor 6.7, the motor stops, and then...Figure 22 As shown, the corresponding slide gate valve 31 is closed, and post-processing is performed in the post-processing chamber 26;

[0078] After P6, following the post-processing, the hatch 30 and corresponding slide valve 31 are opened for unloading. The linear conveyor mechanism 29 of the post-processing chamber 26 is activated, and the rotating frame 21 is transported to the rotating frame transfer and reversing mechanism 9 near the outlet of the four-chamber vacuum coating machine on the connecting platform 29. When the sensor on the connecting platform 28 is triggered, the first conveyor motor of the rotating frame transfer and reversing mechanism 9 on the connecting platform starts. Finally, the rotating frame 21 completes its exit from the chamber and stops at the rotating frame transfer and reversing mechanism 9 on the connecting platform 28. The rotary motor of the rotating frame transfer and reversing mechanism 9 on the connecting platform 28 starts, rotates 90°, and then cooperates with the linear conveyor mechanism 29 on the connecting platform 28 for transport. Finally, it arrives at the rotating frame transfer and reversing mechanism 9 on the left side of the connecting platform 28, where it is unloaded and loaded. Then, the above steps are repeated to process the workpiece, and the cycle continues.

[0079] Of course, during the above process, the rotating frame transmission and reversing mechanism 9 will rotate and reset after completing the rotation reversal and sending the rotating frame 21 out.
