Definitions
- ABSTRACT A cylindrical jacket of rubber-like elastic material is mounted on a rotary drum forming part of the equipment of a chamber for vacuum coating, and it is hermetically sealed with each end of the drum so that the drum interior is separated from a surrounding evacuated space of a treatment chamber.
- the workpieces to be coated are supported on the periphery of the cooling jacket which is stretched against the bottom sur- Oct. 27, 1971 Switzerland 015692/71 faces of the workpieces so as to create a heat conduction contact.
- the jacket is cooled by coolant which is [52] U.S. Cl 165/86, 118/491, 118/69, circulated from outside the vacuum chamber through 118/301, 118/503, 165/89, 204/298 the drum shaft and around the inner jacket surfaces [51] Int. Cl. F28d 11/02 and out through an annular conduit surrounding the [58] Field of Search 165/89, 46; 1 18/301, 505, drum shaft.
- coolant is [52] U.S. Cl 165/86, 118/491, 118/69
- This invention relates, in general, to vacuum treating devices and in particular to a new and useful device for cooling articles which are treated under vacuum conditions and which includes a jacket of rubber-like elastic material which forms the cylindrical skin of a rotary drum located in a vacuum chamber which is cooled from within by a separate coolant circuit and is adapted to apply tightly against workpieces arranged on the drum circumference so as to efficiently abduct the heat therefrom.
- cooling bodies may be hollow and flown through by a coolant, for example, by cooling water or pressure air.
- a device for cooling workpieces which are submitted to a treatment in vacuum conditions, comprising a cooling jacket which is, preferably, mounted on a rotary drum forming part of the equipment of a vacuum chamber so as to hermetically separate the interior of the jacket from the evacuated space and which is cooled from within by a coolant circulating in an independent circuit operated from the outside.
- the cooling jacket is made of a rubber-like elastic material.
- the jacket is mounted on the rotary drum so that it forms the outer skin thereof coming into direct contact with the bottom surfaces of the workpieces which are fixed to the periphery of the drum either directly or indirectly by means of a supporting cage or holding grid shaped according to the shape and dimensions of the individual workpieces.
- the cooling of the jacket makes use of the known practice of cooling hollow bodies by a continuous stream of a cooling agent and, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the coolant is introduced through the hollow shaft of the rotary drum, flows around the interior walls of the jacket and passes, throughan annular passage formed around the drum shaft, to an outlet provided outside the vacuum chamber.
- the pressure difference established by the cooling system between the interior of the jacket and the evacuated space of the vacuum chamber causes the jacket automatically and tightly to apply against the workpiece retained on the circumference of the rotary drum and, owing to the elasticity of the material, exactly to conform to almost any shape of the bottom surface of a workpiece.
- the perfect surface contact thereby obtained results in an efficient and reliable cooling of the pieces during the whole treatment.
- Workpieces of relatively large dimensions may be fixed, for example, to the head plates of the rotary drum.
- the cage or grid acts as a structure limiting the maximum possible inflation of the jacket in radial direction.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a hermetic mounting of the cooling jacket on the drum so that the interior of the jacket as well as the inlet and outlet coolant conduits are separated from the evacuated space in the vacuum chamber and a pressure difference can be created.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an independent coolant circuit in which the coolant continuously flows around the inner surfaces of the jacket thereby cooling the jacket walls and, simultaneously, creating a pressure causing the same to apply against the workpieces.
- the workpieces are supported on the drum by a preferably cylindrical cage or grid which, at the same time, forms a limiting means for the inflation of the cooling jacket.
- the wall or wall portions of the cooling jacket' may already in manufacture be conformed to the surfaces of the workpieces to be contacted.
- F IG; 1 is a schematicelevationalview, partly in section, of an apparatus for vacuum coating by evaporation constructed in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the elastic jacket shown in FIG. 1 with optical lense workpieces to be 7 coated.
- the inventive jacket 10 forming the cylindricalouter skin of the, V drurn'S is madeof a material of rubbenlike elasticity.
- the workpieceto becoated by evaporation could be a metal sheet. 11 of cylindrical V 7 shape which is arranged on the peripheral surface of j the rotary drum 5 so as to be supported by the head plates13 and 16. Owing to the pressure difference crerated by the cooling system between the interior and the exterior of the cooling jacket 10, the rubber-like elastic wall ofjacket 10 is tightly applied against. the inner surface of the sheet to be coated and, consequently, cools the same very efficiently. Another advantage, due to the elasticity of the jacket, is that when the vacuum:
- the jacket 10 may very rapidly and easily be removed from: the drum, or slipped over again.
- an absolute conformity device embodied therein comprises an apparatus for vacuumcoating'comprising a tank or vessel 1 defining a vacuum chamber which can be evacuated by means of a pump 2 through a pipe 3 so as to produce the very low pressure necessary for the'intended coating process.
- a coating by evaporation is provided, and to this purpose, thechamber l is equipped with a structure 4 which for example comprises a'support serving to support substances tobe evaporated or a cathode ofa cathode sputtering device.
- the workpiece may be a simple cylindricalsheet as:
- the metal sheet 11 shown in FIG. 1 may not be a workpiece but a support for' I other' workpieces if desired.
- a support for instance, could be provided with recesses or hollowed spaces in which optical'lenses to be coated by evaporation could be placed.
- the rubber-like elastic jacket 10 istightly applied both against the lenses 12 and the intermediate surfaces of the support
- a rotary drum 5 adapted to hold the workpieces to be 1 coated is disposed, in front of the structure 4.
- the drum 5 is unilaterally supported by and rotatably mounted in a bearing 6 which is fixed to the wall of the vessel 1.
- the drum 5 comprises two end parts or heads 5a and 5b,-e'ach assembled of two circular plates l3, l4 and I5, 16 respectively, which are held together, for example, by bolts 20.
- a central shaft 8 supports the heads 5a and SI) for rotary motion therewith.
- a cylindricalela stic 7 support or cooling jacket 10 has its respective ends en'- gaged between and clamped by the two circular plates 13, I4 and. l5, 16 forming the drum heads 5a and 5b.
- the shaft portion 8 or, as in the represented embodias shown in FIG. 2.v obviously, many other shapes of V supporting devices for workpieces may be employed.
- the support for the workpieces comprises a cage, or grid II embracing. the drum and Iimitingthe maximum possible expansion or inflation of the cooling jacket in a radial direction.
- the rubberlike elastic jacket 10 for workpieces with a particular uniform surface, it isadvantageous to manufacture the rubberlike elastic jacket 10 in a conformable particular.
- the jacket 10 could, for example, have concave depressions corresponding to the convex lens surfaces.
- the coaxial motor shaft'portion 9 of smaller diameter is mounted in the bearing 6, and driven by a motor 7.
- the bearing 6 is fixed to the wall 1 ofthe vacuum chamber and includes a hermetic sealing for the shaft 9 passing therethrough.
- Inlet and outlet conduits 21 and 22 are provided for circulating a cooling medium to the interior ofjacket 10.
- respective portions of the motor shaft 9 and of shaft 8 are hollow to define axial flow conduit '23 and cross bores 24 areprovided at the ends of the. hollow por-, tions to provide for flow into the hollow drum 5.
- annular passages 25 and 26 in the circular plates 15, I6 and bores 27, 28 in a supporting disk 29 connecting the shaft 8 with the plate 16 as well as a tubular conduit 17 flanged to this platetl6 are provided as pasi
- the cooling jacket is sufficiently flexible to conform to. the surface of any workpiece in a satisfactory manner.
- the structure 4 may comprise a cathode of a cathode sputtering device, or it could simply be a heata ing device for a heat treatment of a workpiece surface requiring a simultaneous cooling as protection against sages for the return flow of thecoolant.
