Description

[0001] This application belongs to the field of cutting tool manufacturing, specifically relating to a multi-tool synchronous PVD coating production and processing device. Background Technology

[0002] PVD coating is a technology that uses physical methods (not primarily chemical reactions) to transfer coating materials (such as metals, alloys, ceramics, etc.) from the "source material" to the surface of a workpiece (such as cutting tools, molds, electronic components, etc.), forming a uniform, dense, high-performance thin film (coating). Its core characteristic is that the entire process does not rely on chemical reactions to generate the coating; instead, it is achieved through a physical process of "mass migration-deposition," and it typically needs to be carried out in a high-vacuum environment to prevent contamination of the coating material by air impurities, thus ensuring coating quality.

[0003] Currently, most PVD coating equipment on the market is designed for single-tool or small-tool processing, resulting in low coating efficiency and poor adaptability to different tool specifications. This requires frequent fixture changes, leading to increased processing costs. At the same time, existing equipment cannot guarantee uniformity in multi-tool coating processes, which can easily lead to problems such as inconsistent coating thickness and insufficient adhesion, failing to meet the dual requirements of efficiency and quality for mass production. Utility Model Content

The height and position of the tool fixture are adjusted by the wire take-up and unwinding mechanism. The rotating base drives the column and the tool fixture to rotate, realizing synchronous rotation coating of multiple tools. The multiple sets of tool clamping plates of the tool fixture can accurately fix tools of different specifications. With the help of the guide structure, the coating uniformity is ensured, thereby improving coating efficiency and quality, reducing equipment investment and processing costs, and meeting the needs of mass production of tools.

[0023] In some embodiments: mounting box;

[0026] In some embodiments: a shelf;

[0027] An anti-fall plate is installed at the bottom of the shelf;

[0028] A knife-grip clamping plate is disposed on the inner side of the shelf.

[0029] In some embodiments: the mounting box;

[0030] A fixing plate is installed inside the mounting box;

[0031] A guide inner plate is disposed on one side of the fixed plate.

[0032] In some embodiments: a fixing plate;

[0033] The screw passes through the fixed plate and the guide inner plate;

[0034] An outer guide plate is installed on the outside of the inner guide plate, and the screw is threadedly connected to the outer guide plate.

[0035] In some embodiments, multiple shelves are provided and are rotatably connected to the mounting box via rotating connectors.

[0036] In some embodiments: multiple blade clamping plates are provided and evenly distributed on the inner side of the shelf, and the blade clamping plates are made of elastic material.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided in this application includes at least the following technical effects:

[0038] 1. This utility model adopts a collaborative structure of a rotating base and multiple shelves. The rotating base can drive the column, wire feeding and take-up mechanism, and tool fixture to rotate as a whole. Combined with multiple shelves connected to the outside of the mounting box via rotating connectors, multiple sets of tools can be simultaneously rotated for coating in a single operation. Compared to traditional single-tool devices, the coating efficiency improvement is positively correlated with the number of shelves, effectively meeting the needs of mass production and reducing repeated equipment investment costs. The tool fixture has multiple sets of elastic material tool clamping plates evenly distributed inside the shelves. Utilizing elastic properties, it can adapt to tool specifications of different diameters and shapes, eliminating the need for frequent disassembly and replacement of dedicated fixtures as in traditional devices. This not only reduces the time and economic costs of fixture procurement and replacement but also avoids secondary damage to the tool surface caused by frequent operations, ensuring the original precision of the tool and constructing a dual-guide and stable clamping system. The quality control system employs a two-pronged approach. On one hand, the tool holder height and position are adjusted via a wire feeding and take-up mechanism to ensure the tool is positioned within the optimal coating area. On the other hand, the fixing plate, inner guide plate, and outer guide plate with adjustable spacing via screws form a guiding structure. Combined with the multi-point clamping of the tool holder clamping plate, this effectively limits tool displacement during the coating process, preventing uneven coating thickness and insufficient adhesion caused by tool movement. Compared to traditional devices, coating uniformity and stability are significantly improved. The connection methods of each structural component balance stability and adjustability. For example, the rotating connector allows the shelf to be adjusted independently, facilitating optimization of tool orientation according to coating requirements. The screw-adjustable outer guide plate design eliminates the need for complex tools, allowing for single-person operation, reducing technical requirements for operators and enhancing the overall convenience of the processing flow.

[0051] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0052] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4This application provides a multi-tool synchronous PVD coating production and processing device, including: a wire take-up and unwinding mechanism 100, a tool holder 200, a column 3, a rotating seat 4, and a tool body 5. The column 3 is set on the top of the rotating seat 4, the wire take-up and unwinding mechanism 100 is installed on the outside of the column 3, the tool holder 200 is connected to the wire take-up and unwinding mechanism 100, and the tool body 5 is placed inside the tool holder 200.

[0054] In this embodiment, the rotating base 4 provides rotational power to the device, which can drive the column 3 and the connected take-up and untake-up mechanism 100 and tool holder 200 to rotate synchronously, so that the tool body 5 is evenly stressed during the coating process and ensures that the coating thickness is consistent. The take-up and untake-up mechanism 100 can flexibly adjust the height and horizontal position of the tool holder 200 to adapt to different specifications of coating equipment and processing requirements. The tool holder 200 is used to stably hold the tool body 5 and prevent the tool from shifting during the coating process, which would affect the processing quality.

[0055] In some embodiments, the winding and unwinding mechanism 100 includes: an upper collar 101 mounted on the outside of the column 3; a winding and unwinding roller 102 mounted on the outside of the upper collar 101; a line 103 wound around the outside of the winding and unwinding roller 102; a connecting buckle 104 mounted at the bottom of the line 103; and a support rod 105 mounted at the bottom of the upper collar 101.

[0056] In this embodiment, the upper collar 101 is fixed to the outside of the column 3, providing an installation base for the take-up and untake-up roller 102 and the support rod 105. The take-up and untake-up roller 102 rotates to take up and untake the line 103, and then drives the tool clamp 200 to rise and fall through the connecting buckle 104 to adjust the height position of the tool body 5. The support rod 105 is used to connect the mounting frame 106 to enhance the stability of the connection between the take-up and untake-up mechanism 100 and subsequent components.

[0057] In some embodiments, a support rod 105; a mounting bracket 106 is disposed at the bottom of the support rod 105; and a rotating sleeve 107 is sleeved on the outside of the column 3 and connected to the mounting bracket 106.

[0058] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 106 fixes the support rod 105 to the rotating sleeve 107, so that the take-up and release mechanism 100 and the rotating sleeve 107 form a linkage structure. The rotating sleeve 107 is sleeved on the outside of the column 3 and can rotate synchronously with the column 3, while ensuring the stability of the take-up and release mechanism 100 during the rotation process and avoiding component displacement.

[0059] In some embodiments, a rotating sleeve 107; a lower collar 108, which is installed at the bottom of the rotating sleeve 107; and a mounting box 201, which is connected to a connecting buckle 104.

[0060] In this embodiment, the lower collar 108 enhances the structural strength of the bottom of the rotating sleeve 107 to prevent deformation during rotation. The mounting box 201 is connected to the line 103 through the connecting buckle 104 and can be raised and lowered under the action of the take-up and release rollers 102, thereby driving the overall height adjustment of the tool clamp 200. At the same time, the mounting box 201 provides installation space for subsequent components.

[0061] In some embodiments, the mounting box 201 includes a rotating connector 202 disposed on the outside of the mounting box 201, and a shelf 203 connected to the rotating connector 202.

[0062] In this embodiment, the rotating connector 202 allows the shelf 203 to rotate relative to the mounting box 201, which facilitates the adjustment of the angle of the shelf 203, so that the tool body 5 can receive the coating material more evenly. At the same time, multiple shelves 203 can increase the number of tools for a single coating, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0063] In some embodiments, the shelf 203 includes: a fall prevention plate 204 installed at the bottom of the shelf 203; and a knife guard clamping plate 205 disposed on the inner side of the shelf 203.

[0064] In this embodiment, the anti-drop plate 204 prevents the tool body 5 from falling from the bottom of the shelf 203, ensuring the safety of the processing. The tool clamping plate 205 is made of elastic material, and the clamping force can be flexibly adjusted according to the specifications of the tool body 5 to accurately fix tools of different sizes without the need for frequent clamping changes, thus reducing operating costs.

[0065] In some embodiments, the mounting box 201; the fixing plate 206 is installed inside the mounting box 201; and the guide inner plate 207 is disposed on one side of the fixing plate 206.

[0066] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 206 provides a stable mounting base for the guide inner plate 207 and the screw 208. The guide inner plate 207 guides the placement of the tool body 5, ensuring that the tool is in a preset position during the coating process and ensuring the uniformity of the coating.

[0067] In some embodiments, a fixing plate 206; a screw 208, the screw 208 passing through the fixing plate 206 and the inner guide plate 207; and an outer guide plate 209, the outer guide plate 209 being installed on the outside of the inner guide plate 207, and the screw 208 being threadedly connected to the outer guide plate 209.

[0068] In this embodiment, the distance between the outer guide plate 209 and the inner guide plate 207 can be adjusted by rotating the screw 208 to adapt to the guiding requirements of different specifications of the tool body 5, further ensuring the positional stability of the tool during the coating process and avoiding uneven coating thickness due to positional deviation.

[0069] In some embodiments, multiple shelves 203 are provided and are rotatably connected to the mounting box 201 via rotating connectors 202.

[0070] In this embodiment, multiple shelves 203 can simultaneously hold multiple sets of tool bodies 5 to achieve batch processing. The rotating connector 202 allows the shelves 203 to adjust their angles independently, ensuring that each set of tools can receive the coating material evenly, thereby improving the overall processing quality and efficiency.

[0071] In some embodiments, multiple blade clamping plates 205 are provided and evenly distributed on the inner side of the shelf 203, and the blade clamping plates 205 are made of elastic material.

[0072] In this embodiment, multiple evenly distributed tool clamping plates 205 can fix the tool body 5 at multiple points, enhancing clamping stability. The elastic material allows it to adapt to tools of different diameters or shapes, while avoiding damage to the tool surface and ensuring the original accuracy of the tool.

[0073] Working Principle: This multi-tool synchronous PVD coating production and processing device is based on the support structure of the column 3 and the rotating base 4. The rotating base 4 can drive the column 3 and the subsequent connected components to rotate as a whole, providing power for the synchronous and uniform coating of multiple tools. The upper collar 101 of the take-up and unwinding mechanism 100 is fixed to the outside of the column 3. The take-up and unwinding roller 102 drives the mounting box 201 and the tool clamp 200 to rise and fall through the winding wire 103 via the connecting buckle 104, realizing flexible adjustment of the tool height. The support rod 105, the mounting frame 106 and the rotating sleeve 107 cooperate to ensure the structural stability of the take-up and unwinding mechanism 100 during rotation. The lower collar 108 further enhances the strength of the rotating sleeve 107. Multiple shelves 203 are connected to the outside of the mounting box 201 through the rotating connector 202. The shelves 203 can rotate relative to the mounting box 201, which is convenient for adjusting the angle so that the tool can receive the coating material evenly. The elastic tool clamping plate 205 on the inside of the shelf 203 can accurately fix different specifications. The tool body 5 has an anti-drop plate 204 at the bottom to prevent the tool from falling. The fixing plate 206 inside the mounting box 201 fixes the inner guide plate 207, and the outer guide plate 209, which is adjusted by the screw 208, guides and limits the position of the tool, ensuring the stability of the tool position during the coating process. When working, the tool body 5 is placed in the rack 203 and fixed by the tool clamping plate 205. The position of the outer guide plate 209 is adjusted by rotating the screw 208 to ensure that the tool is within the preset guide range. The take-up and unwind roller 102 is started to adjust the tool clamp 200 to a suitable height. The rotating seat 4 drives the column 3 and the tool clamp 200 to rotate, so that multiple sets of tools rotate synchronously and the coating material is evenly deposited on the tool surface, realizing efficient and high-quality batch coating processing.
