In the existing evaporation process, due to the problems of high price, low utilization rate and the like of evaporation materials, the production cost is high, and especially organic luminescent materials are adopted.

In the evaporation process, the temperature of the middle part of the crucible body 1 is higher, the temperatures of the two sides are lower, and the steam overflow holes 41 arranged on the baffle 4 are uniformly distributed, so that the material evaporation rate of the middle nozzle is higher than that of the nozzles at the two sides, the thickness of a film layer formed by evaporation is not uniform, and the light-emitting characteristic is influenced.
In view of this, the embodiment of the present invention provides an evaporation crucible, referring to fig. 3 and 4, comprising a crucible main body 1, and a cover body 2 arranged on the crucible main body 1, wherein a plurality of nozzles 3 are arranged on the cover body 2, and a plurality of nozzles 3 are arranged at equal intervals along a straight line; a baffle 4 is arranged in the crucible main body 1, the baffle 4 is horizontally arranged to divide the space in the crucible main body 1 into an upper space and a lower space, and the baffle 4 is detachably connected with the crucible main body 1; steam channels 51 with the same structure are arranged between the baffle 4 and each nozzle 3, each steam channel 51 is arranged at the position opposite to the baffle 4 and each nozzle 3 in the vertical direction, is correspondingly communicated with the nozzle 3 through an upper port and is connected with the upper surface of the baffle 4 through a lower port; the area a of the baffle 4 overlapping the lower port of each steam channel 51 is provided with a steam overflow hole 41, and the total area of the projection of the steam overflow hole 41 corresponding to each steam overflow hole increases gradually from the middle nozzle 3 to the nozzles 3 at both sides in the arrangement direction of the plurality of nozzles 3.
The specific structure of the crucible body 1 is not limited, and for an evaporation crucible, the temperature in the middle of the crucible body 1 is higher, and the temperatures on the two sides are lower during evaporation, so that the evaporation rate of the material in the middle nozzle is higher than that of the material in the nozzles on the two sides, and the invention is applicable.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the crucible main body 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure, the lid body 2 has a rectangular shape, and the plurality of nozzles 3 are arranged at equal intervals along the extending direction of the long side of the rectangular shape.
The lid body 2 and the nozzle 3 may be formed integrally or may be formed separately.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the cap 2 and the nozzle 3 are connected as a single structure. The situation that sealing is not tight can be avoided from occurring easily in the connection process when the cover body 2 and the nozzle 3 are connected in a non-integrated structure, so that the connection sealing performance can be ensured.
In the actual evaporation process, the crucible body 1 is used for containing evaporation materials and needs to have certain strength and heat conductivity.

The fact that the total area of the projections of the steam overflow holes 41 correspondingly communicated with each other in the vertical direction gradually increases from the middle nozzle 3 to the nozzles 3 on both sides means that the sum of the areas of the projections of each of the steam overflow holes 41 correspondingly communicated with each other in the vertical direction gradually increases from the middle nozzle 3 to the nozzles 3 on both sides. In this way, in the case where the areas a where the lower ports of the steam passages 51 communicating with the respective nozzles 3 overlap with the baffle 4 are the same, the overflow rate of the steam overflow holes 41 communicating with the middle nozzle 3 can be reduced, the overflow rate of the steam overflow holes 41 communicating with the nozzles 3 on both sides can be increased, while in the case where the structures of the respective steam passages 51 are the same, and in the case where the overflow rates of the steam overflow holes 41 communicating with the respective steam passages 51 are the same, the same steam pressure can be maintained in the respective steam passages 51, whereas in the evaporation crucible provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the total area of the projections of the respective correspondingly communicating steam overflow holes 41 in the vertical direction gradually increases from the middle nozzle to the nozzles on both sides in the arrangement direction of the nozzles 3, that is, from the middle nozzle 3 to the nozzles 3 on both sides, the overflow rate of the steam entering through the steam overflow holes 41 communicating with the steam passages 51 is gradually increased, so that the steam pressure in the steam passages 51 communicating with the middle nozzle 3 can be reduced, the steam pressure in the steam passages 51 communicating with the nozzles 3 on both sides can be increased, the evaporation rate of the middle nozzle can be reduced, and the evaporation rate of the nozzles on both sides can be increased.

When the overflow rates of the vapor overflow holes 41 communicating with the nozzles are all the same, the vapor pressure of the vapor deposition material entering the vapor passages 51 is also the same. And because in the direction of arrangement of the spray nozzles 3, from the middle spray nozzle 3 to the spray nozzles 3 on both sides, the total area of the projection of the steam overflow hole 41 correspondingly communicated with each other in the vertical direction gradually increases, therefore, the steam pressure in the steam channel 51 correspondingly communicated with the middle spray nozzle 3 can be reduced, and the steam pressure in the steam channel 51 correspondingly communicated with the spray nozzles 3 on both sides can be increased, thereby achieving the technical effects of increasing the evaporation rate of the spray nozzles 3 on both sides and reducing the evaporation rate of the spray nozzle 3 in the middle, and being capable of solving the problems that the temperature in the middle of the crucible is high, the temperatures on both sides are low, the evaporation rate of the spray nozzle in the middle is high, and the evaporation rates of the spray nozzles on both sides are low, so that.
