[0002] In the Parylene coating process, the Parylene coating is typically formed on the product surface using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology. A wide variety of products require coating, such as iron cores, coils, pre-coated metal sheets (PCMs), magnets, and shielding covers. Some products require no contact with the coating carrier during coating, some require full surface coating, and some require edge coating. Meeting the different coating requirements of various products necessitates frequent changes of the coating carrier, leading to low coating efficiency.

[0006] Optionally, the carrier unit further includes a mesh plate placed on the second carrier plate, and the support column also passes through the mesh plate and protrudes from the surface of the mesh plate.

[0007] Optionally, when the workpiece to be coated is a hollow columnar product, the workpiece to be coated is placed on the mesh plate, and the column of the support column is located inside the hollow part of the workpiece to be coated.

[0008] Optionally, the top of the support column is provided with a spherical boss, the top of which is a spherical surface and contacts the workpiece to be coated.

[0009] Optionally, when the workpiece to be coated is a sheet product, the workpiece to be coated is placed parallel above the second carrier plate, and the multiple support columns jointly support the workpiece to be coated.

[0010] Optionally, the bottom of the support column is provided with a support base, which is placed on the first carrier plate and sandwiched between the first carrier plate and the second carrier plate.

[0011] Optionally, the first carrier plate includes a first frame, in which a plurality of first hollow portions are spaced apart, and a first isolation strip is formed between adjacent first hollow portions, and the support seat of the support column is placed on the first isolation strip.

[0012] Optionally, the second carrier plate includes a second frame, in which a plurality of second cutouts are spaced apart, and a second isolation strip is sandwiched between adjacent second cutouts. When the first carrier plate and the second carrier plate are arranged opposite to each other, the positions of the first isolation strip and the second isolation strip correspond to each other.

[0017] Optionally, the mounting bracket includes an upper mounting frame and a lower mounting frame, which are fixedly connected to each other.

[0018] Optionally, the upper mounting frame encloses an opening area, and the lower mounting frame is provided with load-bearing ribs, through which the carrier unit passes and rests on the load-bearing ribs.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The coating carrier provided by this technical solution has a first carrier plate and a second carrier plate for fixing the support column. The top or the column body can be used to support the workpiece to be coated. Different placement methods can be selected for different types of products, such as placing it on the top of the support column, placing it on the second carrier plate, or covering it outside the support column. Therefore, it can be applied to a variety of types of products to be coated and can simultaneously meet the coating requirements of different types of products, which is beneficial to improving coating efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, the carrier unit also includes a mesh plate, which is placed on the second carrier plate, and the support column passes through the mesh plate and protrudes from its surface. For some small-sized workpieces to be coated, coating can be performed directly on the mesh plate, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly.

[0022] Furthermore, when the workpiece to be coated is a hollow cylindrical product, the workpiece is placed on the mesh plate, and the column of the support column is located inside the hollow portion of the workpiece. The hollow cylindrical workpiece is fitted over the support column, which allows for coarse positioning of the workpiece and prevents it from tipping over, thus improving coating quality.

[0023] Furthermore, the top of the support column is provided with a spherical boss, the top of which is a spherical surface and contacts the workpiece to be coated. By providing a spherical boss, the top of the spherical surface contacts the workpiece, resulting in a smaller contact point and maximizing the coating area of ​​the workpiece. For products requiring full coating, this reduces the number of times the workpiece needs to be moved or flipped, or even eliminates the need for movement or flipping.

[0024] Furthermore, when the workpiece to be coated is a sheet-like product, it is placed parallel above the second carrier plate, and multiple support columns jointly support the workpiece. For sheet-like workpieces, the support columns contact the plane of the workpiece but not its edge sides, ensuring that the entire edge is coated for products requiring edge coating.

[0025] Furthermore, when there are multiple carrier units, the system also includes mounting brackets. The number of mounting brackets is the same as the number of carrier units. The carrier units are mounted on the mounting brackets, and the multiple mounting brackets are stacked vertically, with adjacent mounting brackets interconnected. The multiple carrier units and mounting brackets can be stacked vertically, effectively utilizing space, increasing the number of workpieces to be coated that the coating carrier can support, and improving coating efficiency.

[0032] As described in the background section, products with different coating requirements need to have their coating substrates changed during coating, resulting in low coating efficiency.

[0033] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a coating carrier, including a first carrier plate and a second carrier plate arranged opposite to each other, and a support column. The bottom of the support column is sandwiched between the first and second carrier plates, and the top of the support column passes through the second carrier plate and protrudes from its surface. The column body or top of the support column is used to support the workpiece to be coated. This coating carrier is suitable for various types of workpieces to be coated. For example, for sheet-shaped products, the top of the support column can be used to support the workpiece, resulting in a small contact area and not affecting the coating area. For non-sheet-shaped products, they can be directly placed on the second carrier plate for coating. For some hollow products, the support column can be fitted around the support column, preventing the product from tipping over. For multiple products with different coating requirements, frequent changes of the coating carrier are not necessary, and simultaneous coating can be performed, which improves coating efficiency.

[0034] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and beneficial effects of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of the vehicle unit in one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of the vehicle unit in another embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the application scenario of the vehicle unit in one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the vehicle unit described in another embodiment of the present invention; Figure 5 yes Figure 4 Enlarged structural diagram of the supporting column in box A; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of multiple vehicle units in one embodiment of this utility model.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 The coating carrier includes at least one carrier unit. The carrier unit 1 includes: a first carrier plate 10 and a second carrier plate 20 disposed opposite to each other; and a support column 30, the bottom of which is sandwiched between the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20, and the top of which passes through the second carrier plate 20 and protrudes from its surface. The column or top of the support column 30 is used to support the workpiece 40 to be coated (see reference). Figure 3 or Figure 4 ).

[0037] In this embodiment, the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20 are used in conjunction with each other and can be separated.

[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The bottom of the support column 30 is provided with a support base 31, which is placed on the first carrier plate 10 and sandwiched between the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20.

[0039] In this embodiment, the support base 31 and the column body 32 of the support column 30 are connected. The support base 31 is fixed between the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20, and the column body 32 of the support column 30 is perpendicular to the surfaces of the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20.

[0040] In this embodiment, the support base 31 and the column 32 are integrally formed.

[0041] In this embodiment, the support base 31 is in the shape of a disc.

[0042] In this embodiment, the support base 31 is pressed onto the first carrier plate 10 by the gravity of the second carrier plate 20. There are no screws or other connecting structures. When replacing the support column 30 of different specifications as needed, the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20 are separated, and the support column 30 can be quickly taken out and a new support column can be placed in, which improves the replacement efficiency.

[0043] In other embodiments, the bottom of the support column 30 may not be provided with a support base, but may be fixed to the first carrier plate 10 by means of screw connection or snap-fit.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 1The first carrier plate 10 includes a first frame 11, and a plurality of first hollow portions 12 are spaced apart in the first frame 11. A first isolation strip 13 is formed between adjacent first hollow portions 12, and the support base 31 of the support column 30 is placed on the first isolation strip 13.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first cutout portion 12 of the first carrier plate 10 allows the gaseous reactants in the coating process chamber to pass through the first carrier plate 10, so that the workpiece 40 to be coated located above the first carrier plate 10 is exposed to the coating environment as much as possible; the first isolation strip 13 between adjacent first cutout portions 12 is used to place support columns and can also strengthen the strength of the first carrier plate 10.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first frame 11 is fan-shaped, and the first isolation strip 12 is an arc rib with the same center as the fan shape.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first frame 11 is further provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 14, the first reinforcing ribs 14 are connected to a plurality of first isolation strips 13, and the extension line of the first reinforcing ribs 14 passes through the center of the fan-shaped circle.

[0048] In other embodiments, the first frame 11 may also be circular, square, or other shapes, depending on the requirements of the coating equipment that holds the coating carrier.

[0049] In this embodiment, the carrier unit 1 includes a plurality of support columns 30, which are spaced apart and disposed on the first isolation strip 12. The arrangement of multiple support columns 30 allows for the simultaneous placement and coating of multiple workpieces 40 to be coated, thereby improving coating efficiency.

[0050] The number and position of the support columns 30 can be determined according to the size and quantity of the workpiece to be coated and different coating requirements. For example, when there are many workpieces to be coated at the same time or the size is large, the number of support columns 30 can be increased; or when the workpiece to be coated can be placed directly on the second carrier plate 20, the number of support columns 30 can be reduced.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The second carrier plate 20 includes a second frame 21, and a plurality of second hollow portions 22 are spaced apart in the second frame 21. A second isolation strip 23 is sandwiched between adjacent second hollow portions 22. When the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20 are arranged opposite each other, the positions of the first isolation strip 13 and the second isolation strip 23 correspond to each other.

[0052] It should be noted that "positional correspondence" means that when the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20 are set opposite each other, the projections of the first isolation strip 13 and the second isolation strip 23 perpendicular to the ground completely overlap.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second isolation strip 23 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 24, and the top of the support column 30 passes through the positioning holes 24.

[0054] In this embodiment, the bottom of the support column 30 is placed on the first isolation strip 13, and the top of the support column 30 passes through the positioning hole 24 on the second isolation strip 23. Therefore, when the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20 are arranged opposite each other, the positions of the first isolation strip 13 and the second isolation strip 23 correspond, so that the support column 30 is perpendicular to the surface of the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20 are completely identical in shape and size. The positions of the first frame 11 and the second frame 21, the first hollow part 12 and the second hollow part 22, and the first isolation strip 13 and the second isolation strip 23 are all corresponding, which is conducive to achieving standardized production and reducing mold opening costs.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second frame 21 is further provided with a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 25, which correspond to the first reinforcing rib 14.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The first frame 11 is provided with a plurality of limiting posts 16, and the second frame 21 is provided with a limiting part 26 corresponding to the limiting posts 16. When the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20 are arranged opposite to each other, the limiting posts 16 pass through the limiting part 26.

[0058] In this embodiment, the limiting post 16 and the limiting part 26 are used together to limit the relative position of the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20, so that when the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 20 are set relative to each other, the first carrier plate 10 or the second carrier plate 20 will not be arbitrarily shifted in the horizontal direction.

[0059] In this embodiment, the limiting part 26 is a recessed part provided at the edge of the second frame 21; in other embodiments, the limiting part 26 may also be a limiting hole provided on the second frame 21.

[0060] refer to Figure 2 The carrier unit 1 further includes a mesh plate 50, which is placed on the second carrier plate 20. The support column 30 also passes through the mesh plate 50 and protrudes from the surface of the mesh plate 50.

[0061] For some small-sized workpieces to be coated, the second cutout portion 22 on the second carrier plate 20 is too large to accommodate small-sized workpieces. Therefore, a mesh plate 50 is laid on the second carrier plate 20. The mesh plate 50 has finer mesh holes and can support small-sized workpieces to be coated.

[0062] The mesh count of the mesh plate 50 can be determined according to the requirements of the workpiece to be coated, so as to reduce the obstruction of the workpiece to be coated while providing sufficient support.

[0063] refer to Figure 3 In one specific implementation, when the workpiece 40 to be coated is a hollow columnar product, the workpiece 40 to be coated is placed on the mesh plate 50, and the column body 32 of the support column 30 is located inside the hollow part of the workpiece 40 to be coated.

[0064] For hollow cylindrical products, placing them directly on the mesh plate 50 may cause them to tip over during the coating process. Inserting the support column 30 into the hollow part of the hollow cylindrical product can prevent the product from tipping over and also serve as a coarse positioning tool.

[0065] refer to Figure 5 The top of the support column 30 is provided with a spherical boss 33, the top of the spherical boss 33 is spherical, and the top of the spherical boss 33 is in contact with the workpiece 40 to be coated.

[0066] In this embodiment, by providing a spherical boss 33, the spherical surface tapers upwards from the top of the support column 30 to the top of the spherical boss 33, and the top of the spherical boss is a spherical surface. The contact point between the spherical surface and the workpiece to be coated is smaller, further reducing the contact area with the workpiece 40 to be coated. This minimizes the impact of the coating carrier on the workpiece 40 to be coated, allowing for faster coating completion and improved coating efficiency for products requiring large-area or full coating. Even if the full coating is not completed in one coating attempt, the number of times the workpiece to be coated can be reduced by moving or flipping it for re-coating.

[0067] In this embodiment, the support column 30 is a cylindrical structure, so a spherical boss is provided at the top; in other embodiments, the support column 30 can also be a polygonal column such as a triangular prism or a quadrangular prism, so a triangular frustum, a quadrangular frustum, etc. can be provided at the top accordingly.

[0068] refer to Figure 4 In one specific implementation, when the workpiece 50 to be coated is a sheet product, the workpiece 40 to be coated is placed parallel above the second carrier plate 20, and the multiple support columns 30 jointly support the workpiece 40 to be coated.

[0069] For sheet-like products, the support column 30 supports the flat surface of the sheet-like product, with very small contact points and no contact points at the edges. Sheet-like products requiring edge coating can be guaranteed to be fully coated. For sheet-like products requiring full coating, if the impact of contact points is within an acceptable range, coating can be completed in one step, or the product can be moved or flipped to ensure full coating.

[0070] refer to Figure 6 When there are multiple carrier units 1, the coating carrier also includes mounting brackets 2. The number of mounting brackets 2 is the same as the number of carrier units 1. The carrier units 1 are mounted on the mounting brackets 2. Multiple mounting brackets 2 are stacked in the vertical direction and adjacent mounting brackets 2 are connected to each other.

[0071] In this embodiment, one mounting bracket 2 corresponds to one carrier unit 1. Multiple mounting brackets 2 are stacked in the vertical direction, and the carrier units 1 mounted on the mounting brackets 2 are also stacked in the vertical direction. There is a gap between adjacent carrier units 1 to ensure space for placing the workpiece to be coated.

[0072] Multiple carrier units are stacked vertically, which can improve space utilization, increase the number of products undergoing coating processes simultaneously, and improve coating efficiency.

[0073] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 2 includes an upper mounting frame 61 and a lower mounting frame 62, which are fixedly connected.

[0074] In this embodiment, the upper mounting frame 61 and the lower mounting frame 62 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0075] The upper mounting frame 61 encloses to form an opening area 610, and the lower mounting frame 62 is provided with a load-bearing rib 620. The carrier unit 1 passes through the opening area 610 and rests on the load-bearing rib 620.

[0076] In this embodiment, the shape and size of the opening area 610 are adapted to the shape and size of the carrier unit 1 so that the carrier unit 1 can pass through, and the bearing rib 620 is used to support the carrier unit 1.

[0077] In this embodiment, the supporting rib 620 divides the area within the lower mounting frame 62 into multiple hollow areas to minimize obstruction of the carrier unit 1. The density of the hollow areas is less than the density of the first hollow part 12 and the second hollow part 22.

[0078] In this embodiment, there is a gap between the upper mounting frame 61 and the lower mounting frame 62. The vehicle unit 1 is placed inside the lower mounting frame 62. Thus, after multiple vehicle units 1 are stacked in the vertical direction, there will naturally be a gap between adjacent vehicle units 1.

[0079] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 2 is provided with multiple mounting columns, and the mounting columns of the upper layer of the mounting bracket 2 are connected to the mounting columns of the lower layer of the mounting bracket 2.

[0080] In this embodiment, the mounting column passes through both the upper mounting frame 61 and the lower mounting frame 62.

[0081] In this embodiment, the mounting post includes a first mounting post 63 and a second mounting post 64. The bottom of the first mounting post 63 has a protrusion, and the top of the second mounting post 64 has a hollow portion. The first mounting post 63 is mounted on the upper-layer mounting bracket 2, and the second mounting post 64 is mounted on the lower-layer mounting bracket 2. The protrusion at the bottom of the first mounting post 63 engages with the hollow portion of the second mounting post 64 to fix the upper-layer mounting bracket 2 and the lower-layer mounting bracket 2.

[0082] The number of layers of the mounting bracket 2 can be set according to the actual needs of the coating process. In this embodiment, a two-layer mounting bracket 2 is used as an example. Therefore, the first mounting post 63 is only installed on the upper layer of the mounting bracket 2, and the second mounting post 64 is only installed on the lower layer of the mounting bracket 2.

[0083] In other embodiments, on a mounting bracket 2 with three or more layers, a first mounting post 63 is provided on the uppermost mounting bracket 2, a second mounting post 64 is provided on the lowermost mounting bracket 2, and the mounting bracket 2 in the middle layer needs to be provided with both the first mounting post 63 and the second mounting post 64 to connect the mounting brackets of the upper and lower layers at the same time.

[0084] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
