A kind of method of between adjacent vacuum chamber, transmitting the rotation work rest
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of method of between adjacent vacuum chamber, transmitting the rotation work rest, belong to the work rest design and the manufacturing field of many vacuum film coating chambers that continuous production in enormous quantities is used in the physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology.
Background technology:
In the physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology, known traditional work rest has two kinds, a kind of is the revolution-rotation work rest that adopts in the round shape vacuum film coating chamber, purpose is to make the workpiece plating even, the workpiece amount of plating is the loading capacity that depends on every stove, fill a stove, close the vacuum film coating chamber door, carry out plating by the time-program(me) of coating process.One stove plating is finished, and the workpiece that plating is good takes out, and reinstalls the not workpiece of plating, repeats next stove plating.
Another kind is the work rest that adopts in the tunnel like vacuum film coating chamber---sheet glass or sheet metal are laid the frame on it, by chain or rack drives mechanism, work rest is transferred to second from a vacuum chamber, the 3rd ... individual vacuum chamber, finish the required plated film program of finishing of technology in the vacuum chamber that is delivered to one by one again, the TCO production line of the precious plated film of the visible German Lay of this class tunnel like transmission company (is seen network address: www.leyboldoptics.com).
In order to implement the plating of workpiece in enormous quantities, with the different time sections of same technology, in a plurality of vacuum chambers, finish, make workpiece stays in each vacuum chamber time decreased to a required time period of a certain function of the plating in the processing sequence.
Set up a plurality of vacuum chambers to be still common way, do not have novelty, and, have nothing in common with each other, possess originality from the method for a vacuum chamber to adjacent next vacuum chamber transmission rotation work rest.
Through inquiry, domestic patent has following several patents of having authorized.But have significantly different with patent of the present invention:

The Δ network address is:
Www.leyboldoptics.comThe plating TCO system of the Germany precious optical coating company of Lay (Leybold optics) all is flexible delivery bands, transmits between a plurality of vacuum chamber coating chambers, also all is to produce coating system in enormous quantities, and drive method of the present invention is significantly different with it.
Above-described Chinese CN patent and web material, transmission data such as the workpiece of enumerating though all belong to same technical object, have a long way to go.
Summary of the invention:
In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, it is successive that weak point mainly shows as the flexible delivery band actual ' chain---sprocket wheel ' system, realize that beat-type transmits the rotation work rest, physical presence stops, breaking off relations, starts, transmission flexibly, realize the contradiction in the rotation, realize that revolution can, realization rotation difficulty just can be finished rotation because need add supplementary unit in addition.
And the technical scheme that patent of the present invention adopts is to adopt big circumference fluted disc and the axis of rotation toothing that is fixed on the top cover, realize normal revolution---rotation planetary motion, both kept the gear-driven superiority of conventional P VD coating chamber pivoted frame, can make the rotation work rest break away from rotary table again, and the gear and the reciprocating mechanical arm tooth bar push rod mechanical manipulator that adopt driving device arm tooth bar, realize that whole rotation work rest is steady, beat-type is delivered to another vacuum chamber, this method is reliable, stable, stepping program is reasonable, has unprecedented novelty.
One of purpose of the present invention is that this technical scheme can practice in very heavy workpiece and transmits between vacuum chamber, overcomes the shortcoming such as instability, heavy burden moving difficulty of flexible delivery band ' chain ' transmission.
On the passage between the adjacent vacuum chamber, the door for vacuum chamber of automatic control is arranged, removable this passage that opens and closes.When this mobile vacuum chamber door is removed, two vacuum chambers are connected, the rotary table circumference along on have and the same number of breach of rotation work rest, this indentation, there with seize the rotation work rest jointly on both sides by the arms with the annulus that is fixed on the top cover of a breach, seize the position on both sides by the arms on the axle that the rotation work rest is seized on both sides by the arms, wringing fit is with spot contact bearing, to realize time rotational rolling resistance mode.
The rotation work rest has axis of rotation gear on the top, and it can do planetary rotation on the gear of big circumference toothed disc outer, and existing revolution has the rotation action again.
Some two vacuum chamber position mouths that run in the small planetary gear on these rotation work rest tops, when being the unique breach corresponding position of annulus, by being fixed on the coating chamber, and the gear of driving device arm tooth bar that can be reciprocating---mechanical arm tooth bar push rod mechanical manipulator, come program to realize the rotary table of each rotation work rest from a vacuum chamber, through this unique breach, push on the corresponding breach of rotary table of another vacuum chamber, hang the rotation work rest to realize hanging, and realize planetary rotation operation at another vacuum chamber.
In order to make above-mentioned passing rotation work rest stable, be provided with the slidably clamp device that clamp is simultaneously lived the axis of rotation, live rotation work rest top neck in order to clamp stably.
Again by realizing driving gear---tooth bar push rod mechanical manipulator power realizes that by the outer power of vacuum chamber its transmission shaft must adopt the dynamic sealing device that passes vacuum chamber.
Again because a large amount of turning of work piece frame of prior art is geartransmission, so at design calculation and manufacturing device of the present invention, being easy to do on original technical foundation reliable technique promotes, because as long as between adjacent vacuum chamber, opening is arranged, annulus is jagged, and conventional rotation work rest is convenient to beat-type transmission piecemeal.
In the above-mentioned method of the present invention, for realizing that beat-type transmits each rotation revolution frame without any confusion, every program behavior function all pass through control realization automatically.
