Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transfer technology, and in particular to a dual-chamber continuous feeding coating device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing continuous drive coating equipment, the material trays can only be placed on the material rack above the conveyor track in the feeding chamber. Once the material tray is coated, it cannot be returned to the original material rack. If it is returned to the original material rack, the next tray cannot descend to the conveyor track, and coating cannot continue. Therefore, an additional discharge chamber is needed to receive the coated material trays, which will increase costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a dual-chamber continuous feeding coating device.
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a dual-chamber continuous feeding coating device, including a feeding chamber and a sputtering chamber, with an isolation valve between the sputtering chamber and the feeding chamber, and both the sputtering chamber and the feeding chamber are equipped with a vacuum system, with a conveying mechanism a and a feeding mechanism in the feeding chamber, and the discharge surface of the conveying mechanism a coincides with the feeding surface of the feeding mechanism, and a conveying mechanism b corresponding to the conveying mechanism a is provided in the sputtering chamber, and the conveying mechanism a and the conveying mechanism b perform reciprocating linear motion.
[0005] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a servo electric cylinder, the output end of which is connected to a material rack. The material rack is used to place trays, which are distributed vertically, and each tray is placed on a track, which is set on the material rack.
[0006] Preferably, the structures of conveying mechanism a and conveying mechanism b are the same.
[0007] Preferably, the conveying mechanism a includes a driving mechanism with a push rod. When material needs to be discharged, the pallet is hooked onto the push rod. Both ends of the pallet are provided with protrusions, and the sides of the track are provided with several top blocks.
[0008] Preferably, the push rod is provided with a pull hook on its side, and the tray is provided with hooks on both sides corresponding to the pull hooks, with the hooks connected to the protrusions.
[0009] Preferably, the tray has a notch, a protrusion is located inside the notch, a through hole is provided on the protrusion, a screw is installed on the tray, the screw is located inside the through hole, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the screw, with the two ends of the spring connected to the inside of the notch and the upper surface of the protrusion, respectively.
[0010] This invention has the following advantages: When material needs to be supplied, the conveying mechanism a drives the tray located on the feeding surface to move. At this time, the output end of the conveying mechanism b is in the receiving area of the sputtering chamber. When the tray moves to the discharge area of the feeding chamber, the conveying mechanism a will release one end of the tray while the conveying mechanism b connects with the other end of the tray to complete the handover. The conveying mechanism b drives the tray to move in the sputtering chamber to perform sputtering coating. After the coating is completed, the handover is performed again. After the conveying mechanism a resets, the feeding mechanism feeds again to perform the cycle. This device replaces the discharge chamber and can achieve continuous material supply coating through only the feeding chamber and the sputtering chamber, thus reducing costs.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, a dual-chamber continuous feeding coating apparatus includes a feeding chamber 15 and a sputtering chamber 17. An isolation valve 16 is provided between the sputtering chamber 17 and the feeding chamber 15. Both the sputtering chamber 17 and the feeding chamber 15 are equipped with vacuum systems. A conveying mechanism a and a feeding mechanism are provided within the feeding chamber 15, with the discharge surface of the conveying mechanism a coinciding with the feeding surface of the feeding mechanism. A conveying mechanism b, corresponding to the conveying mechanism a, is provided within the sputtering chamber 17. The conveying mechanisms a and b perform reciprocating linear motion. Preferably, the conveying mechanisms a and b have identical structures. When material needs to be supplied, the conveyor mechanism a moves the tray 6 located on the feeding surface. At this time, the output end of the conveyor mechanism b is in the receiving area of the sputtering chamber 17. When the tray 6 moves to the discharge area of the feeding chamber 15, the conveyor mechanism a releases one end of the tray 6 while the conveyor mechanism b connects to the other end of the tray 6 to complete the handover. The conveyor mechanism b then moves the tray 6 within the sputtering chamber 17 to perform sputtering coating. After coating is completed, the handover is performed again. After the conveyor mechanism a resets, the feeding mechanism feeds again, and the cycle continues. This device replaces the discharge chamber and can achieve continuous material supply coating using only the feeding chamber 15 and the sputtering chamber 17, reducing costs. In this embodiment, the sputtering coating of the tray 6 by the sputtering chamber 17 is implemented using an existing structure, which has not been improved and will not be described in detail here. Similarly, the isolation valve 16 and the vacuum system are existing structures and have not been improved and will not be described in detail here. The sputtering chamber 17 is a high vacuum, and the feeding chamber 15 is a low vacuum.
[0022] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a servo electric cylinder 2, the output end of which is connected to the material rack 14. The material rack 14 is used to place the trays 6, which are distributed vertically, and each tray 6 is placed on a track 5, which is set on the material rack 14. Specifically, the operator first places the tray 6 on the track 5. When material needs to be supplied, the servo cylinder 2 drives the material rack 14 to the lowest position. At this time, the tray 6 on the track 5 at the top of the material rack 14 is located on the feeding surface. The conveyor mechanism a moves it. When the tray 6 moves to the discharge area of the feeding chamber 15, the conveyor mechanism a releases one end of the tray 6, and the conveyor mechanism b connects to the other end of the tray 6 to complete the handover. The conveyor mechanism b drives the tray 6 to move in the sputtering chamber 17 to perform sputtering coating. After the coating is completed, the handover is performed again. After the conveyor mechanism a resets, it releases one end of the tray 6. At this time, the servo cylinder 2 drives the material rack 14 to rise, so that the tray 6 on the second layer track 5 is located on the feeding surface, thereby realizing continuous material supply. This replaces the discharge chamber. Continuous material supply coating can be achieved through only the feeding chamber 15 and the sputtering chamber 17, reducing costs.
[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the conveying mechanism a includes a drive mechanism with a push rod 9. When material needs to be discharged, the tray 6 is hooked onto the push rod 9. Both ends of the tray 6 are provided with protrusions 11, and the sides of the track 5 are provided with several top blocks 8. Further, the push rod 9 is provided with hooks 10 on its side, and the tray 6 is provided with hooks 1 on both sides corresponding to the hooks 10. The hooks 1 are connected to the protrusions 11. Further still, the tray 6 has a notch, the protrusions 11 are located in the notch, and the protrusions 11 have through holes. The tray 6 is equipped with a screw 12, which is located in the through hole. A spring 13 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 12, and the two ends of the spring 13 are respectively connected to the inside of the notch and the upper surface of the protrusions 11. Further still, the drive mechanism is a conventional mechanism, including a servo motor 7 and a conveyor belt 4. The power output end of the servo motor 7 is connected to the drive wheel 3, and the conveyor belt 4 is sleeved on the drive wheel 3 and the driven wheel. When feeding material, the conveyor belt 4 is located below the track 5. Specifically, during the first feeding, the tray 6 on the top track 5 of the material rack 14 is positioned on the feeding surface. When placed, the protrusion 11 at one end of the tray 6 closest to the conveyor mechanism a collides with the top block 8 (the hook 1 is in a raised state). The servo motor 7 then drives the drive wheel 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 4 in a reciprocating linear motion. At this time, the push rod 9 moves synchronously, causing the hook 1 closest to the conveyor mechanism a to engage with the pull hook 10, thus moving the tray 6 along the track 5. During the movement of the tray 6, when the protrusion 11 collides with the top block 8, the protrusion 11 is raised. At this time, the hook 1 connected to the protrusion 11 rises synchronously, separating the hook 1 from the pull hook 10. Furthermore, due to the upward movement of the protrusion 11, the spring 13 is compressed. As the tray 6 continues to move... After the movement causes the protrusion 11 to be misaligned with the top block 10, the spring 13 will reset and drive the protrusion 11 to move downward, thus completing the separation of one end of the tray 6. At this time, the protrusion 11 at the other end of the tray 6 collides with the top block 10 on the track in the sputtering chamber 17, and the protrusion 11 will also be lifted. The hook 1 connected to the protrusion 11 will rise synchronously. When the protrusion 11 and the top block 10 are misaligned, the spring 13 will reset and drive the protrusion 11 to move downward, thus hooking the hook 1 onto the pull hook 10, completing the connection between the other end of the tray 6 and the push rod 9, thereby realizing the fixed-point transfer of the tray 6 between the two tracks 5. The tray 6 moves in the sputtering chamber 17 to perform sputtering coating. After the coating is completed, it is handed over (at this time, the direction of movement is opposite to that before, but the handover process is the same, so it will not be described again).
[0024] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
