Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum coating technology, specifically to a drying device for vacuum coating. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum coating is an important aspect of vacuum applications. Based on vacuum technology, it utilizes physical or chemical methods and incorporates a range of new technologies such as electron beams, molecular beams, ion beams, plasma beams, radio frequency, and magnetron sputtering to provide a new process for thin film preparation for scientific research and practical production. Simply put, vacuum coating is the method of evaporating or sputtering metals, alloys, or compounds in a vacuum, causing them to solidify and deposit on a substrate (or base material).

[0003] After vacuum coating, the product needs to be dried. However, in actual use, the existing tunnel drying equipment is open at both ends, making it difficult for heat to stay inside the drying chamber, resulting in low drying efficiency and affecting the production efficiency of the product. Based on the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model designs a drying device for vacuum coating. Utility Model Content

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, inclined plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the insulation frame, and a first handle is fixedly installed on the top of the sealing cover.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, two side grooves are opened on both sides of the outer surface of the drying tunnel, and the side grooves on both sides are fixedly connected to the mounting clamp.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a side plate is fixedly installed at the other end opening of the drying tunnel, and a second fixing plate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the side plate, and the second fixing plate is fixedly connected to the soft baffle.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, four rotating rollers are rotatably installed inside the drying tunnel, pulleys are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the four rotating rollers, and steel mesh belts are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the four pulleys.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the drying tunnel is fixedly equipped with support legs, and the bottom of the support legs is fixedly equipped with six anti-slip pads.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This vacuum coating drying device, through its feeding structure, heating structure, and flexible baffles, allows for efficient drying by pouring the product from the insulation frame into the top of the steel mesh belt. A sealing cover on the top of the insulation frame seals one side of the drying tunnel. Simultaneously, heating components on both the upper and lower sides dry the product. Heat is delivered to the product through the steel mesh belt, ensuring comprehensive drying coverage and preventing dead zones. Furthermore, the flexible baffles on the other side allow the product to move to the other side of the drying tunnel, causing it to flip and flow out. This improves drying efficiency and reduces heat loss. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-5 A drying device for vacuum coating includes a drying tunnel 1. A feeding structure 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the drying tunnel 1. Two heating structures 4 are fixedly installed inside the drying tunnel 1. A soft baffle 11 is provided at the opening on the other side of the drying tunnel 1. The feeding structure 2 includes a heat preservation frame 21. A sealing cover 23 is placed on the top of the heat preservation frame 21. The two heating structures 4 include two mounting plates 41. A first fixing plate 42 is fixedly installed between the two mounting plates 41. A heating component 43 is fixedly installed on one side of the two first fixing plates 42.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-3 Inclined plates 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the insulation frame 21, and a first handle 24 is fixedly installed on the top of the sealing cover 23. Two side grooves 3 are opened on both sides of the outer surface of the drying tunnel 1, and the two side grooves 3 are fixedly connected to the mounting clamp 41. A side plate 9 is fixedly installed at the other end opening of the drying tunnel 1, and a second fixing plate 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the side plate 9, which is fixedly connected to the soft baffle 11. Four rotating rollers 6 are installed inside the drying tunnel 1, and pulleys 7 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the four rotating rollers 6. Steel mesh belts 8 are sleeved on the outer surface of the four pulleys 7. Support legs 5 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying tunnel 1, and six anti-slip pads are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support legs 5.

[0017] Driven by an external motor, the steel mesh belt 8 can rotate, allowing the product to move inside the drying tunnel 1. One side of the drying tunnel 1 can be sealed by placing the sealing cap 23 on top of the insulation frame 21. While the product is drying inside the drying tunnel 1, the soft baffle 11 can seal the other end of the drying tunnel 1.

[0018] Please see Figure 5 A collection structure 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the drying tunnel 1. The collection structure 12 includes a protruding frame 121. A collection frame 122 is slidably installed inside the protruding frame 121. A second handle 123 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the collection frame 122.

[0019] When the product is dried and flows out from the soft baffle 11, it can fall into the collection box 122. By pulling the second handle 123, the collection box 122 can be pulled out from the protruding box 121. The collection box 122 is connected to the inside of the drying tunnel 1. When the product is piled up inside the collection box 122, it can be continuously heated, thus improving the drying quality.

[0020] Working principle: When using a vacuum coating drying device, first, hold the first handle 24 to open the sealing cover 23 and pour in the product. At this time, the product falls through the inclined plate 22 to the top of the steel mesh belt 8 to begin conveying and drying. Then, cover the top of the insulation frame 21 with the sealing cover 23. Simultaneously, the product is dried by the heating components 43 on both the upper and lower sides. The heat can make all-round contact with the product through the steel mesh belt 8, avoiding drying dead corners. When the product is drying inside the drying tunnel 1, the soft baffle 11 can close the other end of the drying tunnel 1. When the product moves to the other side of the drying tunnel 1, the product pushes the soft baffle 11 to flip up, so that the product flows out of the drying tunnel 1 and falls into the collection frame 122. By pulling the second handle 123, the collection frame 122 can be pulled out from inside the protruding frame 121. The collection frame 122 is connected to the inside of the drying tunnel 1. When the product accumulates inside the collection frame 122, it can continuously receive heat, improving the drying quality.
