[0002] PVD is a physical material transfer process that can transfer atomic or molecular matter from one object to another, thereby giving it superior performance. In the production of cemented carbide cutting tools, in order to improve the service life of cemented carbide cutting tools, advanced metal materials are used to vacuum coat the surface of cemented carbide cutting tools in a vacuum environment using PVD coating equipment, which can form a film layer with wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Technical issues

[0003] The prior art discloses a multi-arc ion plating equipment for spraying coatings on PVD tools, application number CN202310905806.4. The supporting force of the telescopic rod and the elastic force of the first spring are combined to facilitate the removal of the insert rod from the inside of the fixed column. Then, the connecting component, limiting component, connecting frame, positioning component and bearing basket are taken out from the inside of the coating box, so as to facilitate the subsequent removal and arrangement of the tools hanging on the hook.

[0021] A method for processing cemented carbide cutting tools with PVD coating includes the following steps:

[0022] Step 1: First, install the carbide tool to be processed on the outside of the suspension rod. After installation, move the pressure plate to the bottom, press the connecting spring, and move the push plate to the bottom. This pushes the moving fixed push plate to both sides, and the moving fixed push plate moves outward to support the tool's hanging hole for fixation.

[0023] Step 2: After the installation in the previous step is completed, drive the lifting wheel motor to move the internal wheels, causing the lifting frame to descend and move the processing furnace at the bottom of the lifting frame, so that the processing furnace fits into the sealing groove, forming a sealed chamber inside the processing furnace.

[0024] Step 3: After forming a sealed chamber inside the processing furnace, first drive the fan motor to draw air into the processing furnace through the fan inlet. Then, create a vacuum inside the processing furnace through the vent to remove the waste gas and impurities inside the processing furnace, in preparation for PVD coating processing.

[0025] Step 4: After evacuating the inside of the processing furnace, use the heating elements inside the furnace to heat the inside of the furnace, raising the temperature inside the furnace and removing moisture and other impurities adhering to the cutting tools, work racks, and the inside of the processing furnace.

[0026] Step 5: Apply electricity to the discharge substrate. The high temperature generated by the arc discharge between the discharge substrate and the cutting tool causes the material of the discharge substrate to evaporate into plasma, ionizing the elements to be coated. Since the ionized metal substrate ions are all positive ions, they are output to the cutting tool through the connecting rod inside the work hanger, making the cutting tool negatively charged. This causes the ionized elements inside to impact the cutting tool, allowing the elements to deposit on the outside of the cutting tool, thereby forming a thin film and completing the PVD coating. During this process, the working motor drives the rotating base plate to rotate, making the coating of the cemented carbide cutting tool more comprehensive.

[0027] Step Six: After coating is completed in the previous step, remove the processed tool and place it on the top of the base bracket. Rotate the control screw to push the rotating push plate, which in turn moves the fixed rod and the movable connecting frame. During this process, the movable cleaning rod inside the fixed rod moves the wavy groove, causing the movable cleaning rod at the top of the movable bracket to spray air onto the tool at the bottom, thus achieving a thorough cleaning of the tool. Beneficial effects

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0029] 1. This invention, by adopting a built-in automatic fixing installation method, ensures the stability of the installed carbide tool during the actual coating and rotation process. The built-in rotation mechanism at the bottom allows the suspended carbide tool to move more comprehensively within the furnace, facilitating complete coating of the carbide tool body. Compared with the existing technology, this invention can maintain the stability of the tool during the PVD coating process of advanced non-ferrous metal materials while ensuring a more comprehensive coating.

[0030] 2. When using this invention, the wave-shaped groove can guide the moving cleaning rod to perform air-jet cleaning of the tool. The cleaning process completely eliminates contact between the tool and other mechanisms, preventing the tool from being contaminated before PVD coating and affecting the coating effect. It can also be cleaned to a certain extent after coating. Attached Figure Description

A processing furnace 38 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting hanging rod 37 near the lifting base plate 3. A rotating base plate 39 is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting base plate 3. The bottom end of the rotating base plate 39 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting hanging ring 27.

[0052] Heating elements 381 and a discharge substrate 382 are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the processing furnace 38, and a vent 383 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the processing furnace 38. A connection port for controlling the voltage of the discharge substrate 382 during the PVD coating process is provided on the outer side of the processing furnace 38 at the position corresponding to the discharge substrate 382, ​​which can directly control the voltage of the discharge substrate 382.

[0053] The sealing groove 31 at the top of the lifting base plate 3 works in conjunction with the processing furnace 38, creating a sealed space inside the processing furnace 38 that is isolated from the outside world, facilitating the processing of PVD coating. The lifting moving groove 33 inside the lifting connecting rod 32 works in conjunction with the lifting moving frame 34, using the lifting wheel motor 35 to drive the wheel for lifting, allowing the lifting bracket 36 to drive the processing furnace 38 at the top to rise and fall via the connecting rod 37.

[0054] Heating element 381 is used to control the temperature inside the processing furnace 38, which facilitates temperature control for PVD. Vent 383 is used to work with the vacuum fan 5 on the outside to draw air and create a vacuum inside the processing furnace 38.

[0055] As shown in Figures 6, 7 and 8, the working bracket 4 is a hexagonal frustum, and each side wall is fixedly connected to a working hanging rod 41. The end of each working hanging rod 41 away from the working bracket 4 is fixedly connected to a suspension base plate 42.

A connecting inner rod 412 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting bracket 410. The connecting inner rod 412 is fixedly installed inside the insulating baffle 411.

[0057] The tool to be processed is supported by the suspension rod 43 at the front end of the work hanger 4. The tool outside the suspension rod 43 presses the pressure plate 46 under the action of gravity, which causes the pressure plate 46 to drive the push plate 47 to press down, and the movable fixed push plate 44 to move to both sides, so as to fix the tool to be processed in conjunction with the pressure plate 46, which facilitates PVD coating processing.

[0058] The energizing rod 48 is used to output voltage to the tool through the movable fixed push plate 44 and the pressure plate 46, so that the tool is energized. The connecting rod 412 outputs voltage to the energizing rod 48 through the connecting bracket 410 and the connecting ring 49, which facilitates the control of the tool voltage and realizes the voltage control inside the tool.

[0059] As shown in Figure 9, a blower inlet / outlet plate 51 is fixedly connected to the end of the vacuum blower 5 away from the base plate 1. The top of the blower inlet / outlet plate 51 has a blower inlet 52 and a blower outlet 53. A blower connecting frame 54 is fixedly connected to the output end of the vacuum blower 5.

[0060] Air pressure is output into the processing furnace 38 through the blower inlet 52 at the top of the vacuum blower 5, so that the gas inside the processing furnace 38 is discharged and a vacuum is formed inside the processing furnace 38.

[0061] As shown in Figure 10, a motor connecting plate 61 is fixedly connected to the end of the fan motor 6 away from the base plate 1, a motor base 62 is fixedly connected to the end of the fan motor 6 near the base plate 1, a motor control plate 63 is fixedly connected to the end of the motor connecting plate 61 away from the fan motor 6, and a motor output ring 64 is fixedly connected to the end of the fan motor 6 near the vacuum blower 5.

[0062] The vacuum fan 5 is driven by the fan motor 6, which allows the vacuum fan 5 to draw air through the fan inlet 52 and output it to the fan outlet 53.

[0063] As shown in Figure 11, a rotary control screw 71 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the cleaning base 7.

The end of the arc-shaped working plate 710 away from the cleaning plate groove 79 has a wavy groove 711. The cleaning plate groove 79 is fixedly connected to the end of the cleaning plate bracket 78 away from the cleaning base 7. The end of the rotating control screw 71 near the rotating push plate 72 is nested inside the rotating push plate 72. Moving the rotating control screw 71 back and forth moves the rotating push plate 72.

[0064] By introducing gas into the outside of the movable cleaning rod 77, the movable cleaning rod 77 can output to the bottom end to clean the tool that has been processed at the bottom end. During the cleaning process, the rotation control screw 71 is used to rotate and push the rotating push plate 72 to move, which drives the position of the movable connecting frame 74 to move. During the movement of the movable connecting frame 74, the movable cleaning rod 77 is moved. The movable cleaning rod 77 is affected by the wavy groove 711 and moves inside the wavy groove 711, thereby realizing that the movable cleaning rod 77 can clean various positions on the top of the tool that needs to be cleaned.

[0065] The coating material used is titanium. Coating carbide tools with titanium metal can protect the internal carbide tools from wear and improve their appearance.

[0066] A method for processing cemented carbide cutting tools with PVD coating includes the following steps:

[0067] Step 1: First, install the carbide tool to be processed on the outside of the suspension rod 43. After installation, the pressure plate 46 moves to the bottom, pressing the connecting spring 45. This causes the push plate 47 to move to the bottom, pushing the movable fixed push plate 44 to both sides. The movable fixed push plate 44 moves outward, supporting the tool's hanging hole for fixation.

[0068] Step 2: After the installation in the previous step is completed, drive the lifting wheel motor 35 to drive the internal wheels to move, so that the lifting moving frame 34 descends and drives the processing furnace 38 at the bottom of the lifting bracket 36, so that the processing furnace 38 is fitted into the sealing groove 31, so that a sealed chamber is formed inside the processing furnace 38.

[0069] Step 3: After forming a sealed chamber inside the processing furnace 38, first drive the fan motor 6 to draw air into the processing furnace 38 through the fan inlet 52, and then draw a vacuum inside the processing furnace 38 through the vent 383 to remove the waste gas and impurities inside the processing furnace 38, in preparation for PVD coating processing.

[0070] Step 4: After vacuuming inside the processing furnace 38, the heating element 381 inside the processing furnace 38 is used to heat the inside of the processing furnace 38, so that the temperature inside the processing furnace 38 rises and removes moisture and other impurities adhering to the cutting tool, work hanger 4 and the inside of the processing furnace 38.

[0071] Step 5: Power is applied to the discharge substrate 382. The high temperature generated by the arc discharge between the discharge substrate 382 and the tool causes the material of the discharge substrate 382 to evaporate into plasma, ionizing the elements to be coated. Since the ionized metal substrate ions are all positive ions, they are output to the tool through the connecting inner rod 412 inside the work hanger 4, making the tool negatively charged. This causes the ionized elements inside to impact the tool, allowing the elements to deposit on the outside of the tool, thereby forming a thin film and completing the PVD coating. During this process, the working motor 2 drives the rotating base plate 39 to rotate, making the coating of the cemented carbide tool more comprehensive.

[0072] Step Six: After coating is completed in the previous step, remove the processed tool and place it on the top of the base bracket 12. Rotate the rotation control screw 71 to push the rotation push plate 72 to move, and the fixed rod 73 to drive the movable connecting frame 74 to move. During this process, the movable cleaning rod 77 inside the fixed rod 73 drives the wave-shaped groove 711 to move, so that the movable cleaning rod 77 at the top of the movable bracket 76 sprays air onto the tool at the bottom, achieving a thorough cleaning of the tool.

10. A method for processing PVD coating on cemented carbide cutting tools, performed by a PVD coating processing apparatus for cemented carbide cutting tools as described in any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: First, install the carbide tool to be processed on the outside of the suspension rod (43), and let the pressure plate (46) move to the bottom after installation. Let the pressure plate (46) press the connecting spring (45) to the bottom, let the push tip plate (47) move to the bottom, push the moving fixed push plate (44) to both sides, and move the moving fixed push plate (44) to the outside to support the tool's hanging hole for fixing. Step 2: After the installation in the previous step is completed, drive the lifting wheel motor (35) to drive the internal wheels to move, so that the lifting moving frame (34) descends and drives the processing furnace (38) at the bottom of the lifting bracket (36) to fit into the sealing groove (31), so that a sealed chamber is formed inside the processing furnace (38). Step 3: After forming a sealed chamber inside the processing furnace (38), first drive the fan motor (6) to draw air into the processing furnace (38) through the fan inlet (52), and draw a vacuum inside the processing furnace (38) through the vent (383) to remove the waste gas and impurities inside the processing furnace (38) in preparation for PVD coating processing. Step 4: After vacuuming inside the processing furnace (38), the heating element (381) inside the processing furnace (38) is used to heat the inside of the processing furnace (38) to raise the temperature inside the processing furnace (38) and remove moisture and other impurities adhering to the cutting tool, work hanger (4) and the inside of the processing furnace (38). Step 5: Power is applied to the discharge substrate (382). The high temperature generated by the arc discharge between the discharge substrate (382) and the tool causes the material of the discharge substrate (382) to evaporate into plasma, ionizing the elements to be coated. Since the ionized metal substrate ions are all positive ions, they are output to the tool through the connecting rod (412) inside the work hanger (4), making the tool negatively charged. This causes the ionized elements inside to impact the tool, allowing the elements to deposit on the outside of the tool, thereby forming a thin film and completing the PVD coating. During this process, the working motor (2) drives the rotating base plate (39) to rotate, making the coating of the cemented carbide tool more comprehensive. Step 6: After the coating is completed in the previous step, remove the processed tool and place it on the top of the bottom bracket (12). Rotate the control screw (71) to push the rotating push plate (72) to move. The fixed rod (73) drives the movable connecting frame (74) to move. The movable cleaning rod (77) inside the fixed rod (73) drives the wave groove (711) to move during the process, so that the movable cleaning rod (77) at the top of the movable bracket (76) sprays air onto the tool at the bottom to achieve a thorough cleaning of the tool.
