Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical structure design for coating operation, and specifically relates to a docking device between a coating machine and a glove box. Background Technology

[0002] The design connecting the coating machine to the glove box aims to solve the problem of samples being easily contaminated by the atmosphere during traditional coating processes. By connecting the coating machine and the glove box, the coating machine door can be connected to the internal environment of the glove box when it is opened or closed, thus avoiding contact with the atmosphere. Through this design, the sample can be kept in a water-free, oxygen-free, high-purity inert gas environment throughout the entire coating process, thereby avoiding atmospheric pollution and improving coating quality and stability.

[0003] Commonly used coating machines connected to glove boxes are often inconvenient to assemble and disassemble. If the coating machine or glove box requires regular maintenance or cleaning, or if equipment malfunctions, this inconvenience can lead to extended maintenance cycles, increased maintenance difficulty and costs, decreased production efficiency, and even potential impacts on product quality, negatively affecting user experience. Therefore, we propose a coupling device between a coating machine and a glove box. Summary of the Invention
