[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0033] This invention provides an electronic diborane purification device, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes: a base 1, a reaction tube 2 connected to the top of the base 1, the reaction tube 2 being a quartz glass tube, a top cover 3 connected to the top of the reaction tube 2, a pipe 20 connected to the top of the top cover 3, a micro-flow controller 22 installed on the pipe 20, a cold trap device 19 connected to the bottom of the base 1 via a connecting pipe, the cold trap device 19 being a cold trap device used in chemical experiments in the prior art, a heating component installed on the outside of the reaction tube 2, an isolation component installed at the bottom of the top cover 3 that can isolate the reaction tube 2 in the event of a rupture, a catalytic component installed inside the reaction tube 2 that can catalyze the reaction, and a suction pipe 26 installed at the top of the top cover 3, with a valve inside the suction pipe 26. By connecting the suction pipe 26 to an external extraction device, the diborane sealed in the isolation sleeve 4 can be extracted for processing.

[0034] The isolation assembly includes: an isolation sleeve 4, an annular plate 5, a sealing gasket 6, a solenoid valve 21, and a drive assembly for driving the annular plate 5 to descend;

[0035] One end of the isolation sleeve 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top cover 3, the ring plate 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the isolation sleeve 4, the sealing gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring plate 5, and the solenoid valve 21 is respectively installed on the pipe 20 and the connecting pipe.

[0036] In use, pipe 20 is connected to the device for introducing diborane. The amount of gas added during the reaction is strictly controlled by microflow controller 22 to meet the reaction requirements. The reaction tube 2 is heated by heating component, and the diborane introduced into the reaction tube 2 is heated and catalyzed by catalytic component. Under the synergistic effect of heat and catalysis, it decomposes. The decomposition product is rapidly cooled by cold trap device 19 to obtain higher-order borane, thus purifying electronic-grade diborane.

[0037] During the experiment, if a crack appears on the surface of the reaction tube 2, the drive assembly drives the ring plate 5 to descend rapidly with the sealing gasket 6, which pulls open the isolation sleeve 4 so that the isolation sleeve 4 covers the outside of the reaction tube 2. At the same time, the solenoid valve 21 seals the pipe 20 and the connecting pipe. At this time, the isolation sleeve 4, together with the base 1, the ring plate 5, the sealing gasket 6, and the top cover 3, isolates the reaction tube 2, so that the leaked borane is sealed by the isolation sleeve 4, preventing borane from leaking to the outside and harming the staff.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drive assembly includes: a slide bar 7, a first spring 8, a first iron rod 9, a first electromagnet 10, and a control assembly for controlling the first electromagnet 10 to be de-energized.

[0039] The slide rods 7 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the top cover 3 at equal intervals, the ring plate 5 is slidably sleeved outside the plurality of slide rods 7, the first spring 8 is sleeved outside the slide rod 7, the two ends of the first spring 8 are fixedly connected with the bottom of the top cover 3 and the top of the ring plate 5 respectively, the first electromagnet 10 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the top cover 3, the first iron rod 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the ring plate 5, and the first iron rod 9 is adsorptively fixed with the first electromagnet 10.

[0040] When the reaction tube 2 is broken, a small amount of borane leaking at this time triggers the control assembly, the control assembly controls the first electromagnet 10 in power to be powered off, so that the first electromagnet 10 loses magnetism and loses adsorptive fixation of the first iron rod 9, and the compressed first spring 8 pushes the ring plate 5 to quickly descend with the sealing gasket 6, so that the isolation sleeve 4 is quickly pulled open.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the control assembly comprises a sensor 11 and a controller (not shown in the figure);

[0042] The sensor 11 is provided in multiple groups, the sensor 11 is an electrochemical sensor, each group of sensors 11 comprises a plurality of sensors 11 distributed from top to bottom, and the multiple groups of sensors 11 are distributed at equal intervals outside the heating assembly. The controller is arranged at the bottom of the base 1, the controller can control the first electromagnet 10 to be powered off, and the controller is a PLC controller.

[0043] When the reaction tube 2 is broken, the borane leaking is monitored by the sensor 11, the sensor 11 cooperates with the controller to control the first electromagnet 10 to be powered off, and the electromagnetic valve 21 is controlled to be closed at the same time, so that the pipeline 20 and the connecting pipe are closed, and at this time, the worker stops injecting borane.

[0044] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the heating assembly comprises an arc plate 12, a heating pipe 13, a vertical plate 14, a sliding block 15 and a second spring 16.

[0045] The heating pipe 13 is connected to the inner side of the arc plate 12 at equal intervals, the top of the base 1 is provided with a sliding groove at equal intervals around, the sliding block 15 is slidably installed in the sliding groove, the sliding block 15 is fixedly connected with the corresponding arc plate 12, the second spring 16 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the sliding groove on the side of the sliding block 15 away from the center of the base 1, the arc plate 12 is distributed at equal intervals outside the reaction tube 2, and gaps are formed between adjacent arc plates 12. The vertical plate 14 is fixedly installed outside the arc plate 12, the sensor 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the vertical plate 14, the position of the sensor 11 corresponds to the gap, the heating pipe 13 is an electric heating pipe, a plurality of heating pipes 13 are connected through a power transmission line 25, and the bottom end of the power transmission line 25 extends to the outside and is connected with a power supply device below the base 1.

[0046] In use, the heating tube 13 is powered, the heating tube 13 heats the reaction tube 2, the leaked diborane is monitored by the sensor 11 through the gap, when the reaction tube 2 needs to be taken out, the arc-shaped plate 12 is pulled to move along the sliding groove with the sliding block 15, so that the heating tube 13 is away from the reaction tube 2, then the reaction tube 2 can be taken out, the second spring 16 is compressed when the sliding block 15 moves, after the reaction tube 2 is reset, the arc-shaped plate 12 is reset, the presence of the second spring 16 can resist the sliding block 15 and the arc-shaped plate 12, so that the heating tube 13 is tightly attached to the surface of the reaction tube 2, and the heating effect is guaranteed.

[0047] As shown in Figure 4 , the second iron rod 17 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding block 15 away from the center of the base 1, a groove is formed in the inner wall of the side of the sliding groove away from the sliding block 15, and the second electromagnet 18 is fixedly installed in the groove.

[0048] The controller controls the second electromagnet 18 to be powered to have magnetism, so that the second iron rod 17 is attracted to move with the sliding block 15, the arc-shaped plate 12 and the heating tube 13, and finally the second iron rod 17 is adsorbed and fixed to the second electromagnet 18. At this time, the arc-shaped plate 12 and the heating tube 13 are away from the reaction tube 2, so that the gap is enlarged due to the movement of the adjacent arc-shaped plate 12 when the diborane in the isolation sleeve 4 is subsequently pumped out and treated, so that the diborane can be pumped out faster, the pumping speed of the diborane is improved, and whether the diborane in the isolation sleeve 4 is completely pumped out can be judged through the monitoring of the sensor 11.

[0049] As shown in Figure 2 , the catalytic assembly comprises a net rack 23, a net plate 24, a fixing rod, a cushion block and a catalyst (not shown in the figure).

[0050] The net rack 23 is provided in two, and the two net racks 23 distributed above and below are fixedly connected through a plurality of fixing rods. The net plate 24 is arranged inside the net rack 23. The cushion block is fixedly installed symmetrically inside the reaction tube 2. The lower net rack 23 is located on the cushion block. The catalyst is laid on the lower net plate 24.

[0051] The top cover 3 is separated from the reaction tube 2, and the net rack 23 and the net plate 24 are taken out from the reaction tube 2, and then the catalyst can be replaced.

[0052] As shown in Figure 3 , the materials of the isolation sleeve 4 and the sealing gasket 6 are fluorine rubber.

[0053] So that the isolation sleeve 4 and the sealing gasket 6 can withstand the high temperature around the reaction tube 2 after isolating the reaction tube 2.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2 , the reaction tube 2 is in threaded connection with the base 1 and the top cover 3.

[0055] The top cover 3 is separated from the reaction tube 2 by rotating, and the reaction tube 2 is separated from the base 1 by rotating, so that the reaction tube 2 is disassembled and cleaned.

[0056] Working principle: in use, the pipeline 20 is connected with a device for introducing diborane, the strict control of the amount of gas added in the reaction process is realized through the micro-flow controller 22, the reaction required is met, the reaction tube 2 is heated through the heating pipe 13, the diborane introduced into the reaction tube 2 is heated, and is catalyzed through the catalytic assembly, is decomposed under the synergistic action of heat and catalysis, and the decomposed product is rapidly cooled through the cold trap device 19 to obtain high-order boranes, so that the purification of the electronic-grade diborane is realized.

[0057] In the experiment, if the reaction tube 2 is broken, a small amount of leaked diborane is monitored by the sensor 11, the sensor 11 cooperates with the controller to control the first electromagnet 10 to be powered off, so that it loses magnetism and loses the adsorption and fixation of the first iron rod 9, the compressed first spring 8 pushes the ring plate 5 with the sealing gasket 6 to quickly descend, so that the isolation sleeve 4 is quickly pulled open, so that the isolation sleeve 4 covers the outside of the reaction tube 2, and finally the sealing gasket 6 is in contact with the base 1, and the electromagnetic valve 21 is closed, so that the pipeline 20 and the connecting pipe are closed, at this time the worker stops the injection of diborane, at this time the isolation sleeve 4 cooperates with the base 1, the ring plate 5, the sealing gasket 6 and the top cover 3 to isolate the reaction tube 2, so that the leaked diborane is sealed by the isolation sleeve 4, to avoid the leakage of diborane to the outside to harm the worker, and then the pipe 26 is connected with the external extraction device to extract the diborane sealed in the isolation sleeve 4 for treatment.

[0058] When the reaction tube 2 is broken, the controller controls the second electromagnet 18 to be powered on to have magnetism, so that the second iron rod 17 is attracted to move with the sliding block 15, the arc-shaped plate 12 and the heating pipe 13, and finally the second iron rod 17 is adsorbed and fixed with the second electromagnet 18, at this time the arc-shaped plate 12 and the heating pipe 13 are away from the reaction tube 2, so that when the diborane in the isolation sleeve 4 is extracted for treatment, the gap is enlarged due to the movement of the adjacent arc-shaped plate 12, so that the diborane can be extracted faster, the extraction speed of the diborane is improved, and the treatment efficiency is improved.

[0059] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not limit it.
