Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus for the uniform vaporisation and application of high melting materials, in particular quartz in a high vacuum to synthetic resin surface in which is provided a source emitting a beam of electrons, and. having magnetic focussing, a support for the material which is vaporised at the focal pointof the electron beam, and a high voltage supply apparatus to produce the electron beam.
- Such apparatuses are used for vapour phase deposition of coatings on articles for surface finishing. Toobtain a uniform coating and compact adherence, it is absolutely essential "for the material to be vaporised completely uniformlyg;
- a power supply unit supplying direct voltage, as as possible free from ripple voltages, is used for the source of electrons for producing the electron beam.
- the disadvantage of such a supply unit is that when quartz is vaporised, dissociation takes place, owing to excessively high local temperatures obtained in the quartz by excessively sharp focusing.
- the rate of vaporisation also depends to a major extent on the body which is being vaporised. The body usually used has hitherto been located at the focal point of the electron beam and into which a furrow was burnt. As a result, there was a constant change in the angle of vaporisation which in the ideal case should be 180 in order to ensure uniform rate of vaporisation.
- this is achieved by arranging automatically and continuously operating cont'rol members such as thyristors, transducers or electron tubes, into the primary winding of the high voltage supply unit in order to maintain at a constant value the output voltage required for vaporisation, and by inserting the material to be vaporised into a rotatable and at ICE the same time axially displaceable support which con-- voltage that is rich in ripple voltages since this measure,
- the body which is to be vaporised is preferably cylindrical and is advantageously kept vertical with its upper end surface permanently situated at the focal point by means of the feed device constantly moving the body forwards in a spiral movement.
- the focus is so adjusted that [the diameter of the focus is equal to ,;the radius of the body being vaporised and extends unilaterally from the centre of the end surface to the edge of that surface.
- the phases R, S, T"of a power supply unit lead to control members which; are in the form of transducers 1, the transmittance of which is controlled by an auxiliary transformer 2.
- the transducers 1 are connected to a transformer 3 which has a voltage of,,,for example, 380 volts at the input end but 10 kv. at the hight voltage end, with which an earthed rectifier 4 is connected in series.
- a smoothing resistor 5 and smoothing condenser 6 serves to filter off part of the high-ripple voltage.
- the main component of the source of electrons is a cathode 9, the heating of which is controlled by an auxiliary transformer 7 via a transformer 8.
- the source of electrons further comprises an earthed plate 10, an insulator 11 which is constructed as a support, a shield 12, a focus sing cup 13 and an auxiliary anode 14.
- a permanent magnet 15 with magnetic yoke 16 deflects and focuses the electron beam 17 obtained insuch a'manner on to a quartz rod 18 which is to be vaporised, and which serves as anode so that the focus extends from the centre of the quartz rod 18 to a point on the edge of the rod.
- the quartz rod 18 is mounted in an externally screw threaded support 19 which is continuously moved upwards in a screw threaded tube 20 by a drive 21 at a rate corresponding to the rate of vaporisation.
- a high voltage supply unit means for emitting a beam of electrons, means for focussing the beam of electrons, and means for positioning an object at the focal point of the beam of electrons are provided for uniform vaporization of high melting temperature materials in a high in the highly electrically conductive state of vapori zed material by means of controlling impedance for increasing and decreasing potential to the high voltage supply unit;
- the device for simultaneously rotating and axially displacing the material to be vaporized onto the synthetic resin material, said device disposed to hold one surface of the material to be vaporized in the same plane containing the focal point of the applied electron beam, and the axially displaceable rate of travel for maintaining this position being dependent on the amount of vaporized material and the vaporization rate, thereby the angle of vaporization is kept constant at approximately 180 degrees as -the material is vaporized.
- transformer with primary windings connected between two of the phases of the three-wire, threephase circuit conductors, so that the same voltage is coupled to said isolation transformer secondary windings, for electrically isolating the power source;
- variable-position autotransformer with primary windings connected in parallel with secondary windings of said isolation transformer, so that the same voltage is applied to the primary windings of said variable-position autotransformer, for stepping-down voltage and stepping-up current applied to the primary windings of said autotransformer; fixed-position autotransformer, with primary windings connected in parallel with the secondary windings of said isolation transformer so that the same voltage is applied to the primary windings of said fixed-position autotransformer, for stepping down voltage and stepping-up current applied to the primary windings of said autotransformer; and cathode-heater transformer with primary windings connected in parallel with the secondary winding portion of primary windings of said variable position autotransformer so that the same voltage is applied to said cathode-heater transformer, said cathode-heater transformer secondary winding being center-tap connected to the direct current potential output of the high voltage supply unit, superimposing thereon an alternating-current potential output of said variable-position autotrans
- At least one transducer connected between one phase output of the three-wire, three phase-power source and one input to the high voltage supply unit for increasing or decreasing the resistance in the conductor for providing greater or lesser power feedback control;
- a transformer with primary windings connected be tween two of the phases of the three-wire, threephase circuit conductors so that the same voltage is coupled to said isolation transformer secondary windings for electrically isolating-the-power source;
- a fixed-position autotransformer with primary windings connected in parallel with the secondary windings of said isolation transformer so that the same voltage is applied to the primary windings of said fixed-position autotransformer, for stepping down voltage and stepping-up current applied to the primary windings of said autotransformer;
- three-phase power source of the type having a high voltage supply unit for producing a high direct current potential, means of emitting a beam of electrons, means of focusing the electron beam and support means for holding material at the focal point of the electron beam for uniform vaporization and application of high melting temperature materials in a high vacuum onto synthetic resin material'surfaces, wherein the improvement comprises:
