It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, the present application provides a winding system 40, wherein the winding system 40 includes a fixed end 400 and a first movable end 300 and a second movable end 500 respectively disposed at two ends of the fixed end 400.
The first moving end 300 includes an unwinding chamber 310 and an unwinding mechanism 320 disposed in the unwinding chamber 310. Referring to fig. 2, the cavity of the unwinding chamber 310 has a first inclined surface 312 inclined relative to the mounting surface 20 of the winding system, and the first inclined surface 312 is provided with a first opening. The second moving end 500 includes a winding chamber 510 and a winding mechanism 520 disposed in the winding chamber 510. The cavity of the winding chamber 510 has a second inclined surface 512 inclined with respect to the mounting surface 20 of the winding system, and a second opening is opened on the second inclined surface 512.
The fixture 400 includes a process chamber 410. A first interface and a second interface corresponding to the first opening and the second opening respectively are disposed on the cavity of the process chamber 410. The process chamber 410 is detachably and hermetically connected with the unwinding chamber 310 through the first opening and the first interface. The process chamber 410 and the rolling chamber 510 are detachably and hermetically connected with the second interface through the second opening.
The mounting surface 20 is referred to herein as a flat surface, such as a floor, for mounting the winding system. The web of material described herein may be formed from a film substrate by winding. The film substrate may include metal film substrates and non-metal film substrates such as copper foil, aluminum foil, stainless steel foil, alloy foil, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, Polyethylene (PE) film, Polyamide (PA) film, various composite films, and the like.
According to the winding system, the winding mechanism and the unwinding mechanism are respectively arranged on the two moving ends, so that the overall weight of each moving end is reduced; the winding mechanism and the unwinding mechanism are respectively accommodated in the cavity to move, and the cavity can play a role in supporting the winding mechanism and the unwinding mechanism, so that the safety and reliability of the equipment in the moving process are improved; by arranging the process chamber at the fixed end, the processing environment in the process chamber is more stable, and the processing precision of the film substrate is more accurate; by arranging the inclined plane with the opening on the cavity, the loading and unloading (for example, in a hoisting mode) of the coiled material can be carried out from the opening of the inclined plane, and the loading and unloading of the coiled material are easier. The winding system provided by the application has the advantages of simple structure, easiness in realization, high safety and reliability, convenience in material replacement and maintenance, and capability of shortening the material replacement time, thereby improving the production efficiency.
The first opening may be detachably and hermetically connected to the first port, so that the unreeling chamber 310 and the process chamber 410 are detachably and hermetically connected. The second opening can be detachably and hermetically connected with the second interface, so that the detachable and hermetic connection between the rolling chamber 510 and the process chamber 410 is realized. In an embodiment, the first opening and/or the second opening may be sealingly connected to the first port and/or the second port, respectively, by a flange.
The cavity of the process chamber 410 may have a third inclined surface 411 disposed obliquely with respect to the mounting surface 20. The first interface may be formed on the third slope 411. The cavity of the process chamber 410 may further have a fourth bevel 412 disposed obliquely with respect to the mounting surface 20. The second interface may be formed on the fourth inclined surface 412. Through the first interface and/or the second interface disposed on the third inclined surface 411 and/or the fourth inclined surface 412, maintenance of equipment in the process chamber 410, such as replacement of a target and cleaning of the inside, may be more conveniently performed. In an embodiment, the first inclined surface 312 and the third inclined surface 411 may be disposed in parallel. The second inclined surface 512 and the fourth inclined surface 412 may be disposed in parallel. By arranging the inclined plane of the movable end and the inclined plane of the fixed end in parallel, the first movable end 300 and/or the second movable end 500 and the fixed end 400 can be quickly and effectively connected in a detachable and sealed manner.
In one embodiment, the inclination α of the first inclined surface 312 with respect to the mounting surface 20 is 30 ° to 60 °. In one embodiment, the inclination γ of the second inclined surface 512 with respect to the mounting surface 20 is 30 ° to 60 °. By setting the inclination α and/or the inclination γ to 30 ° to 60 °, the unwinding mechanism 320 and/or the winding mechanism 520 in the unwinding chamber 310 and/or the winding chamber 510 may be better exposed from the opening of the slope, and the loading and unloading of the coil 10 may be more conveniently performed, for example, the coil 10 may be loaded and unloaded in a lifting manner.
In an embodiment, the inclination α may be the same as the inclination γ. The first opening and the second opening may be the same in shape and size. The position of the first opening on the first slope 312 may correspond to the position of the second opening on the second slope 512. The inclination β of the third inclined surface 411 with respect to the mounting surface 20 may be the same as the inclination δ of the fourth inclined surface 412 with respect to the mounting surface 20. The first and second interfaces may be identical in shape and size. The first and second ports may be symmetrically disposed at both ends of the process chamber 410.

The first port and the second port may also be identical in shape, size and inclination. It is understood that the cavity shapes of the unwinding chamber 310 and the winding chamber 510 may be identical, so that the unwinding chamber 310 and the winding chamber 510 may be symmetrically disposed at both ends of the process chamber 410. It is understood that the inner structures of the unwinding chamber 310 and the winding chamber 510 may be identical, that is, the first moving end 300 and the second moving end 500 may be identical.

The cavity of the unwinding chamber 310 and/or the winding chamber 510 may also be shaped as a right-angled triangular prism, so that a larger space is available for accommodation and more secure and safe. The first slope 312 or the second slope 512 may be a slope of the right triangular prism.
Both ends of the process chamber 410 may be respectively matched with the shapes of the unwinding chamber 310 and the winding chamber 510. After the unreeling chamber 310 and the reeling chamber 510 are respectively connected with the process chamber 410, the whole cavity of the reeling system is a cuboid. For example, the cavity of the process chamber 410 may be a hexahedron having an inverted trapezoidal shape.
It is understood that the unwinding chamber 310 and the winding chamber 510 may be disposed at two opposite ends of the process chamber 410 along a first direction, respectively. The first inclined surface 312 and the second inclined surface 512 may be inclined toward the first direction, so that the first movable end 300 and the second movable end 500 may be more conveniently attached to and detached from the fixed end 400. The first direction may be parallel to the mounting surface 20.
The winding system 40 may further include a first moving mechanism 600 and/or a second moving mechanism 700. The first moving mechanism 600 and/or the second moving mechanism 700 may be connected to the first moving end 300 and/or the second moving end 500, respectively, for driving the first moving end 300 and/or the second moving end 500 to move toward or away from the fixed end 400.

The process chamber 410 may further include an intermediate roller 430 disposed therein. After the web material is mounted on the winding mechanism 320, the film substrate 10 may be pulled out from the winding mechanism 320, sequentially pass through the first guide roller 330, the intermediate roller 430 and the second guide roller 530, and finally enter the winding chamber 510 and be wound around the winding shaft of the winding mechanism 520. The unwinding chamber 310 and/or the winding chamber 510 may further include a tension control mechanism (not shown), and after the film substrate 10 is completely threaded, the tension control mechanism may further tension the film substrate 10 disposed on a predetermined path to flatten the film substrate 10, so as to perform subsequent processes such as coating. The tension control mechanism may be connected to the unwinding mechanism 320 or the winding mechanism 520 to control the tension of the film substrate 10.

In an embodiment, the first deviation rectifying mechanism 340 may be connected to the unwinding mechanism 320, and may drive the unwinding mechanism 320 to move along an axial direction of a through reel of the unwinding mechanism 320, so as to realize a deviation rectifying function for the position of the film substrate 10. For example, the unwinding mechanism 320 may be disposed on the first deviation correcting mechanism 340.
The second deviation rectifying mechanism 540 may be connected to the winding mechanism 520 and may drive the winding mechanism 520 to move along the axial direction of the winding shaft of the winding mechanism 520, so as to realize the deviation rectifying function of the position of the film substrate 10. For example, the take-up mechanism 520 may be placed on the second deviation rectification mechanism 540.
The winding system 40 may further include a first deviation correcting motor and/or a second deviation correcting motor, which are respectively connected to the first deviation correcting mechanism 340 and/or the second deviation correcting mechanism 540, and are configured to drive the first deviation correcting mechanism 340 and/or the second deviation correcting mechanism 540 to move along an axial direction of the through-winding shaft of the unwinding mechanism 320 and/or the winding mechanism 520.

The offset sensor may be disposed in the winding chamber 310, the unwinding chamber 510 and/or the process chamber 410 and located near the transfer path of the film substrate 10. In an embodiment, a first offset sensor 350 and/or a second offset sensor 550 may be further disposed in the winding chamber 310 and/or the unwinding chamber 510, and the first offset sensor 350 and/or the second offset sensor 550 may be used in cooperation with the first deviation correcting mechanism 340 and/or the second deviation correcting mechanism 540, respectively, to accurately position the film substrate 10 on the predetermined transmission path.
The process chamber 410 may be a vacuum process chamber or a non-vacuum process chamber. When the process chamber 410 is a vacuum process chamber, a vacuum chamber may be formed by connecting the unwinding chamber 310, the process chamber 410 and the winding chamber 420. In one embodiment, the process chamber 410 is a vacuum coating chamber, such as any one of a PVD coating chamber or a CVD coating chamber. The process chamber 410 may further include a coating mechanism 420 for coating the film substrate 10.
Referring to fig. 1, in an embodiment, the coating mechanism 420 may be an evaporation mechanism. The evaporation mechanism may include an evaporation source. The evaporation source may be disposed opposite to the film base 10 so as to coat the film base 10 with a film.
Referring to fig. 3, in another embodiment, the coating mechanism 420 may be a magnetron sputtering mechanism. The magnetron sputtering mechanism may include a heated roller 421 and an ion source 422. The film substrate 10 may pass over the surface of the heated roller 421 to heat the film substrate 10. The ion source 422 may be disposed on a side of the film substrate 10 away from the heating roller 241, and is opposite to and spaced apart from the film substrate 10, so as to perform a film coating on the film substrate 10.
Referring to fig. 4, in another embodiment, the coating mechanism 420 may be a CVD coating mechanism. The CVD coating mechanism may include a discharge electrode pair consisting of a first electrode 423 and a second electrode 424.

It is understood that the coating mechanism 420 is not limited to the above-mentioned mechanisms, and may be other coating mechanisms, such as a plasma coating mechanism. The process chamber 410 is not limited to be provided with a coating mechanism, and other process mechanisms, such as a plasma cleaning mechanism, etc., may be provided.
Referring to fig. 5, in an embodiment, the winding system 40 may include N fixed ends 400, N +1 first moving ends 300, and N +1 second moving ends 500, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The N +1 first mobile terminals 300 may all be the same. The N +1 second mobile terminals 500 may all be the same. The same or different processes may be independently performed in the process chambers 410 of the N fixing terminals 400, for example, the same or different coating mechanisms 420 may be independently disposed in the N process chambers 410, or the same coating mechanism 420 may be disposed in the N process chambers 410, but the gas introduced into the N process chambers 410 is different, so that different layers may be coated on the film substrate 10. By arranging a plurality of the first moving terminals 300 and the second moving terminals 500, when N of the first moving terminals 300 and N of the second moving terminals 500 work on line, a roll material to be processed can be loaded on the N +1 th first moving terminal 300 on line, or a roll material which has been processed can be unloaded from the N +1 th second moving terminal 500 on line, so that the production efficiency can be further improved.

One first moving end 300 and one second moving end 500 may be respectively disposed on the two second guide rails 900. By doing so, the (N + 1) th first moving end 300 or the (N + 1) th second moving end 500 can reach any one of the process chambers 410 to change the web and unload the web in time.
In one embodiment, the first guide rail 800 may be disposed along the first direction. The second guide rail 900 may be disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, which is simpler and easier to control the moving end.
In an embodiment, the winding system 40 may be configured to execute different process procedures on the film substrate 10, specifically, each set of the fixed end 400, the first moving end 300, and the second moving end 500 forms a set of process devices, and N sets of process devices sequentially execute different process procedures, and after the previous set of process devices completes a process procedure, the second moving end 500 of the previous set of process devices may be moved to the next set of process devices to be used as the first moving end 300, that is, the winding chamber 510 of the previous set of process devices may be directly used as the unwinding chamber 310 of the next set of process devices, so that the roll material processed by the previous set of process devices may directly enter the next set of process devices to continue the process without being unloaded and loaded, thereby greatly improving the process flow. It is understood that the different process procedures herein may refer to different process methods, such as magnetron sputtering coating by the former process device and thermal evaporation coating by the latter process device, or may refer to different process conditions, such as magnetron sputtering coating, but different gases are introduced into the former process device and the latter process device, so as to form different film layers on the film substrate.
