Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode protective film technology, and specifically discloses an electrode protective film application device. Background Technology

[0002] In physical vapor deposition (PVD) vacuum coating processes, copper electrodes, as the core evaporation source, are exposed to high-temperature metal vapor environments for extended periods, leading to coating buildup and consequently decreased electrode conductivity, reduced heat dissipation efficiency, and oxidation / corrosion. To maintain process stability, traditional methods require periodic disassembly and chemical cleaning of the electrodes, but this approach is complex, results in solvent contamination, and is costly. To address this, the industry has developed a removable polymer protective film technology. By applying a high-temperature (>600℃) anti-oxidation composite film to the electrode surface, it prevents direct coating adhesion to the electrode, significantly extending electrode life and simplifying maintenance procedures.

[0003] However, the current protective film coating operation relies entirely on manual labor: operators need to align and wrap each electrode one by one, and manually press to eliminate air bubbles. Especially for multi-electrode components, a single maintenance requires dozens of repetitions, which is inefficient and results in poor adhesion. Manual wrapping is prone to wrinkles and curling seams, causing the coating to penetrate into the film-electrode interface and lose its protective function. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes an electrode protective film application device that replaces manual film application with an automated mechanism, significantly improving application efficiency, and is especially suitable for batch processing of multi-electrode components.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an electrode protective film application device includes a substrate, and multiple film application mechanisms are installed on the upper surface of the substrate. Each film application mechanism includes a fixed seat fixedly connected to the upper surface of the substrate. An arc-shaped seat is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed seat. Side wing plates are rotatably connected to both ends of the arc-shaped seat through pivot pins. Electric push rods are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped seat. One end of each of the two electric push rods is rotatably connected to the substrate, and the other end is rotatably connected to the two side wing plates respectively.

[0006] The film application mechanism also includes a mounting plate located directly above the substrate. The lower end face of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to multiple pressure plates via connecting columns. The multiple pressure plates are respectively located directly above multiple arc-shaped seats.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the electrode protective film application device of this utility model, vertically arranged guide rods are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper end face of the substrate, and guide cylinders are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two guide rods, with the mounting plate fixedly connected between the two guide cylinders.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the electrode protective film application device of this utility model, the top ends of the two guide rods are fixedly connected to a top plate, a cylinder is installed on the top of the top plate, and the output end of the cylinder passes through the top plate and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0009] As a preferred electrode protective film application device of this utility model, the cross-section of the pressure plate is an inverted "V" shape with an angle of 120-130 degrees, the interior of the pressure plate is a hollow structure, and multiple evenly distributed air vents are opened on both sides of the inner wall.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the electrode protective film application device of this utility model, a distributor is provided on the top of the top plate, and air guide pipes are connected between the multiple pressure plates and the distributors. The air guide pipes are plastic hoses, and a connecting main pipe is connected to the outer wall of the distributor. The other end of the connecting main pipe is connected to an external hot air source.

[0011] Preferably, in the electrode protective film application device of this utility model, the side wing plate has an arc-shaped structure.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the electrode protective film application device of this utility model, rubber pads are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the arc-shaped seat and the side wing plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This device automates the application of protective film, significantly improving efficiency, especially for batch processing of multi-electrode assemblies. Utilizing a specially designed pressure plate combined with hot air softening technology and the lifting action of rotatable side plates, it ensures the protective film tightly, smoothly, and without bubbles or wrinkles wraps the curved surfaces of the electrodes. This effectively avoids common adhesion quality problems associated with manual operation, preventing coating penetration due to wrinkles or curling edges, thus guaranteeing the reliability and lifespan of the protective film. Furthermore, the device is easy to operate, greatly reducing labor intensity and maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 An electrode protective film application device includes a substrate 1. Multiple film application mechanisms are installed on the upper surface of the substrate 1. Each film application mechanism includes a fixed seat 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the substrate 1. An arc-shaped seat 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed seat 2. Side wing plates 5 are rotatably connected to both ends of the arc-shaped seat 3 through pivot pins 4. Electric push rods 6 are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped seat 3. One end of each electric push rod 6 is rotatably connected to the substrate 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the two side wing plates 5 respectively.

[0022] The film application mechanism also includes a mounting plate 7 located directly above the substrate 1. The lower end face of the mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to multiple pressure plates 9 via connecting posts 8. The multiple pressure plates 9 are located directly above multiple arc-shaped seats 3.

[0023] In this embodiment: The pre-cut polymer protective film is manually placed on the upper end of the arc-shaped seat 3 of the film-applying mechanism, with both sides of the film extending to the upper end of the side wing plates 5, ensuring that one end of the film is longer than the other. Subsequently, multiple electric actuators 6 move synchronously, pushing the arc-shaped side wing plates 5 on the left and right sides to rotate upward around the pivot pin 4, causing the protective film to tilt upward and wrap around the electrode. The cylinder 13 drives the mounting plate 7 to move vertically downward along the guide rod 10 through the guide cylinder 11, causing the connecting column 8 and the inverted V-shaped pressure plate 9 to press down, using their 120-130 degree included angle to guide the film to tightly wrap around the electrode. At the same time, external hot air enters the distributor 14 through the connecting main pipe 16, and is delivered to the inside of each inverted V-shaped hollow pressure plate 9 through the air guide pipe 15, and from... The air outlets 17 on both sides of its inner wall spray out evenly, heating and softening the protective film. The pressure plate 9 continues to press down, using its specific angle to guide and shape the long and short sides of the heated and softened protective film to adhere tightly and flatly to the electrode surface. The rubber pads 18 on the inner walls of the arc-shaped seat 3 and the side wing plate 5 provide cushioning to ensure that the adhesion is undamaged. The electric push rod 6 retracts, driving the side wing plate 5 to reset. The cylinder 13 lifts the pressure plate 9, completing a single, efficient, bubble-free, and wrinkle-free film application operation. Multiple film application mechanisms can work simultaneously to achieve batch processing.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, vertically arranged guide rods 10 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper end face of the substrate 1, and guide cylinders 11 are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two guide rods 10. The mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected between the two guide cylinders 11.

[0025] In this embodiment, the sliding fit between the guide rod 10 and the guide cylinder 11 provides precise vertical guidance for the mounting plate 7 and the pressure plate 9 on it, ensuring that the pressing process is stable and does not deviate, thereby ensuring that the protective film is uniformly pressed onto the electrode and improving the bonding accuracy.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the top ends of the two guide rods 10 are fixedly connected to a top plate 12, and a cylinder 13 is installed on the top of the top plate 12. The output end of the cylinder 13 passes through the top plate 12 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cylinder 13 serves as a power source to drive the mounting plate 7 to move up and down, thereby automating the pressing and lifting actions of the pressure plate 9, replacing manual pressing, and significantly improving efficiency and ease of operation.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the cross-section of the pressure plate 9 is an inverted "V" shape with an angle of 120-130 degrees. The interior of the pressure plate 9 is a hollow structure and multiple evenly distributed air vents 17 are opened on both sides of the inner wall.

[0029] In this embodiment, the inverted V-shaped pressure plate 9 (angle 120-130 degrees) can effectively guide the protective film to wrap the electrode curved surface in sequence and smoothly. The hollow structure combined with the air outlet 17 on the inner wall provides a channel for uniform spraying of hot air, making the protective film soften more evenly when heated. This greatly improves the film's ability to adhere to the complex surface of the electrode and the final flatness, effectively eliminating wrinkles that are easily generated by manual operation.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a diverter 14 is provided on the top of the top plate 12, and air guide pipes 15 are connected between the multiple pressure plates 9 and the diverter 14. The air guide pipes 15 are plastic hoses, and a connecting main pipe 16 is connected to the outer wall of the diverter 14. The other end of the connecting main pipe 16 is connected to an external hot air source.

[0031] In this embodiment, the distributor 14, the air duct 15, and the connecting main pipe 16 constitute a hot air distribution and delivery system, which can efficiently and flexibly deliver the heat energy provided by the external hot air source to each pressure plate 9, and is a key guarantee for achieving uniform bonding of the membrane through thermal softening.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the side wing plate 5 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0033] In this embodiment, the side wing plate 5 adopts an arc-shaped structure, which allows it to better conform to the cylindrical surface of the electrode when rotating and lifting the protective film, reducing stress concentration in the film and facilitating subsequent flat wrapping.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, rubber pads 18 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the arc-shaped seat 3 and the side wing plate 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rubber pad 18 fixed to the inner wall of the arc-shaped seat 3 and the side wing plate 5 provides flexible contact during the placement of electrodes, pressing of the film and rotation of the side wing plate 5, preventing hard friction from damaging the electrodes or the surface of the protective film, while increasing friction, which helps to stabilize the positioning of the electrodes and the film.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the operator first lays the pre-cut polymer protective film flat on the upper surface of the arc-shaped base 3, with both sides of the film extending onto the left and right side wing plates 5. The electrode to be coated is then placed on the arc-shaped base 3. The device is activated, and subsequently, multiple electric actuators 6 move synchronously, pushing the arc-shaped side plates 5 on the left and right sides to rotate upwards around the pivot pin 4, causing the protective film to lift up and wrap around the electrode. The cylinder 13 drives the mounting plate 7 to move vertically downwards along the guide rod 10 through the guide tube 11, causing the connecting column 8 and the inverted V-shaped pressure plate 9 to press down. The 120-130 degree included angle guides the diaphragm to tightly wrap around the electrode. At the same time, external hot air enters the distributor 14 through the connecting main pipe 16, and is delivered to the interior of each inverted V-shaped hollow pressure plate 9 through the air guide pipe 15. It is then evenly sprayed out from the air outlets 17 on both sides of its inner wall, heating and softening the protective film. The pressure plate 9 continues to press down, using its specific angle to guide and shape the long and short sides of the heated and softened protective film to adhere tightly and flatly to the electrode surface. During this process, the hot air continuously softens the protective film, and the shaping effect of the pressure plate 9 ensures that the film adheres tightly and flatly to the curved surface of the electrode. The rubber pad 18 protects the electrode and the film. Finally, the electric actuator 6 retracts to reset the side wing plate 5, the cylinder 13 lifts the mounting plate 7 and the pressure plate 9, and the electrode with the film attached can be removed. The device is then reset and ready for the next operation.
