Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to indium coating of target materials, and particularly to a rotating target reciprocating indium coating device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing rotating targets require indium coating using a rotary target reciprocating indium coating device. Some existing rotary target reciprocating indium coating devices include a frame, an indium coating machine, and a linear reciprocating drive assembly. The linear reciprocating drive assembly includes a motor, a lead screw, a lead screw nut, and a moving base. The moving base is slidably mounted on the frame in the back-and-forth direction. The motor is mounted on the frame and drives the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw nut is mounted on the moving base, and the lead screw and lead screw nut are in a transmission engagement. The indium coating machine is mounted on the moving base. During operation, when the motor rotates forward, it drives the moving base and indium coating machine forward via the lead screw and lead screw nut. When the motor rotates in reverse, it drives the moving base and indium coating machine backward via the lead screw and lead screw nut, achieving linear reciprocating movement of the indium coating machine to coat the rotating target with indium. The forward and reverse rotation time of the motor is controlled to adjust the range of forward and reverse movement of the indium coating machine to accommodate rotating targets of different sizes. The aforementioned rotating target reciprocating indium coating device requires the motor to switch between forward and reverse directions each time the indium coating machine makes a round trip. When the motor switches between forward and reverse directions, it needs to go through a deceleration and re-acceleration process, which affects production efficiency and the service life of the motor, thus affecting the overall service life of the rotating target reciprocating indium coating device.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This invention relates to a rotary target reciprocating indium coating device, comprising a base 100, a linear reciprocating drive assembly 200, and an indium coating machine 300. The linear reciprocating drive assembly 200 is mounted on the base 100 and includes a rotation driver 210, a first rod 220, a second rod 230, and a movable seat 240. One end of the first rod 220 is rotatably mounted on the base 100 about a first rotation axis 400, and the rotation driver 210 drives the first rod 220 to rotate. One end of the second rod 230 is rotatably mounted on the first rod 220 about a second rotation axis 500. The distance between the first and second rotation axes 400 and 500 is adjustable. The movable seat 240 is movably mounted on the base 100 in the front-back direction, with both the first and second rotation axes 400 and 500 perpendicular to the front-back direction. The other end of the second rod 230 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 240. The indium coating machine 300 is mounted on the movable seat 240.

[0031] When the rotary driver 210 drives the first rod 220 to rotate, the second rod 230 drives the movable seat 240 and the indium coating machine 300 on it to move back and forth. The first rod 220 and the second rod 230 form a linkage structure. The rotary driver 210 can keep rotating in one direction so that the movable seat 240 and the indium coating machine 300 can move back and forth. The motor can maintain a relatively uniform speed without frequent acceleration and deceleration, thereby improving production efficiency and motor service life, that is, improving the overall service life of the rotating target reciprocating indium coating device. Furthermore, the distance between the first rotating axis 400 and the second rotating axis 500 can be adjusted between the first rod 220 and the second rod 230 to adjust the range of forward and backward movement of the movable seat 240 and the indium coating machine 300, thereby adapting to rotating target materials of different sizes.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first rod 220 has at least two rotating positions 221 arranged along its length, and one end of the second rod 230 can be rotatably positioned at either rotating position 221. By switching the position of one end of the second rod 230 at different rotating positions 221, the distance between the first rotation axis 400 and the second rotation axis 500 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the forward and backward movement range of the moving base 240 and the indium coating machine 300. The structure is relatively simple and easy to implement. Specifically, one end of the second rod 230 can be detached and installed to switch between different rotating positions 221.

[0033] In this embodiment, the linear reciprocating drive assembly 200 includes a pivot 250, a rotation gear 221 which is a first pivot hole, and a second pivot hole at one end of a second rod 230. The pivot 250 is rotatably inserted into the first pivot hole and the second pivot hole. By inserting the pivot 250 into the first pivot hole and the second pivot hole, a rotatable connection between the first rod 220 and the second rod 230 is achieved, resulting in a relatively simple and easy-to-implement structure. When it is necessary to switch the rotation gear 221, the pivot 250 can be pulled out of the current first pivot hole and then inserted into another first rotation hole to complete the switching of the rotation gear 221.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first rod 220 is provided with at least three rotating stop sections 221 arranged along its length. The distance between two adjacent rotating stop sections 221 is different, which is beneficial to select a suitable rotating stop section 221 according to the specific indium coating size of the rotating target material, so that the second rod 230 can be rotated.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first rod 220 has three rotating stop sections 221 arranged along its length. It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the first rod 220 may also have two, four or more rotating stop sections 221 arranged along its length, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0036] It is understood that in other embodiments, a pivot 250 may be integrally formed at one end of the second rod 230, and the pivot 250 may be rotatably inserted through one of the first pivot holes of the first rod 220.

[0037] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the first rod 220 is provided with a strip-shaped through hole extending along the length of the first rod 220. The linear reciprocating drive assembly 200 includes a connecting shaft and a locking nut. The connecting shaft is slidably disposed in the strip-shaped through hole along its length. The locking nut can lock one end of the connecting shaft onto the first rod 220, and the other end of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to one end of the second rod 230. Loosening the locking nut allows adjustment of the position of the connecting shaft relative to the first rod 220, thereby also allowing adjustment of the distance between the first rotation axis 400 and the second rotation axis 500.

[0038] In this embodiment, the movable seat 240 is provided with a clamping mechanism 260, which includes a clamping driver and two clamping blocks 261. A clamping position is formed between the two clamping blocks 261, and the indium coating machine 300 is located at this clamping position. The clamping driver is used to drive the two clamping blocks 261 to move closer or further apart. When the clamping driver drives the two clamping blocks 261 closer together, the two clamping blocks 261 can clamp and fix the indium coating machine 300; when the clamping driver drives the two clamping blocks 261 further apart, the indium coating machine 300 can be released. This structure facilitates the removal of the indium coating machine 300 from the indium coating device for maintenance.

[0039] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 260 can adopt an electric gripper or a pneumatic gripper, or the clamping driver can include an electric cylinder. One clamping block 261 is slidably disposed on the moving base 240, and the other clamping block 261 is fixedly disposed on the moving base 240. The slidable clamping block 261 is driven by the electric cylinder to move closer to the other clamping block 261, thereby clamping or releasing the indium coating machine 300.

[0040] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the clamping actuator may also be, for example, a C-type clamp, or employ two clamping plates and a bolt and nut pair, with the bolt and nut pair passing through the two clamping plates. When the bolt and nut pair is tightened, it drives the two clamping plates to come together so that the two clamping blocks 261 clamp the indium coating machine 300.

[0041] In this embodiment, friction elements are provided on the sides of the two clamping blocks 261 that are close to each other. By providing friction elements, when the clamping blocks 261 clamp the indium coating machine 300, the clamping blocks 261 abut against the indium coating machine 300 through the friction elements, increasing the friction between the indium coating machine 300 and the moving seat 240, thereby reducing the risk of the indium coating machine 300 becoming loose.

[0042] Specifically, the friction element is a sponge, which can further reduce the risk of deformation caused by the clamping block 261 clamping the indium coating machine 300. It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the friction element could also be, for example, a rubber sheet, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0043] In this embodiment, a control module is also included. The linear reciprocating drive assembly 200 is equipped with a pressure sensor, which is located on the clamping block 261. The control module is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and the clamping driver. The pressure sensor can detect the clamping force of the clamping block 261 on the indium coating machine 300. When the control module controls the clamping mechanism 260 to clamp the indium coating machine 300, if the pressure sensor detects that the clamping force has reached a predetermined range, the control module can control the clamping mechanism 260 to stop increasing the clamping force to tighten the indium coating machine 300. This avoids over-clamping the indium coating machine 300, which could damage it, and also avoids insufficient clamping force, which would prevent the indium coating machine 300 from being properly secured.

[0044] Specifically, the control module can be, for example, a PLC, a microcontroller, or a microcomputer.

[0045] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the indium coating machine 300 can also be mounted on the movable base 240 in other ways. For example, the indium coating machine 300 is provided with a mounting plate with a through hole, and the movable base 240 is provided with a threaded hole. The indium coating machine 300 is locked onto the movable base 240 by screws passing through the through hole and threaded into the threaded hole; or a suction cup is provided on the movable base 240, and the indium coating machine 300 is fixed onto the movable base 240 by suction.

[0046] In this embodiment, the rotary driver 210 is a motor with an output shaft. One end of the first rod 220 is connected to the output shaft of the motor. No other additional transmission structure is required, which helps to simplify the structure of the rotary target reciprocating indium coating device, making the structure compact and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0047] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the rotary actuator 210 may also be a structure that outputs rotational power, such as an internal combustion engine or a rotary cylinder, which can be specifically selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0048] In this embodiment, the base 100 is provided with a guide hole 110, the axis of which is arranged along the front-rear direction. The movable seat 240 is a rod extending along the front-rear direction, and the movable seat 240 is slidably inserted through the guide hole 110. One end of the movable seat 240 is rotatably connected to the other end of the second rod 230. The indium coating machine 300 is disposed at the other end of the movable seat 240. The movable seat 240, being a rod, guides the front-rear movement through the guide hole 110 of the base 100, enabling the indium coating machine 300 to maintain linear reciprocating movement. The structure is simple and compact, and the movable seat 240 saves materials and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0049] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the base 100 may also be provided with a slide rail in the front-back direction, and a slider may be provided on the movable seat 240, so that the movable seat 240 can move back and forth relative to the base 100 through the slide rail and slider structure; or the movable seat 240 can move back and forth relative to the base 100 through the guide post and guide sleeve structure.

[0050] In this embodiment, the indium coating machine 300 is located outside the base 100. The movable seat 240 is a rod arranged in the front-to-back direction, and the indium coating machine 300 is located outside the base 100. When the indium coating device is working, the indium coating machine 300 and the movable seat 240 can be inserted into the inner hole of the rotating target material to apply indium, without the entire base 100 needing to be inserted into the inner hole of the rotating target material, which is beneficial for producing rotating targets with smaller hole diameters.

[0051] When using the indium coating apparatus, the apparatus is placed near the rotating target, and the indium coating machine 300 is fitted against the inner wall of the rotating target. The indium coating machine 300 is fixed to the movable base 240 by the clamping mechanism 260. According to the size specifications of the rotating target, one end of the second rod 230 is rotatably inserted into the appropriate rotation stop 221 of the first rod 220 via the pivot 250. After liquid indium is added to the inner hole of the rotating target, the motor can be started to drive the indium coating machine 300 to move back and forth to perform indium coating.
