Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tail gas treatment and relates to a vacuum tail gas cold trap. Background Art

[0002] Exhaust gas treatment refers to the purification of exhaust gases emitted by automobiles, industrial equipment, etc., in order to reduce the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere and reduce the adverse effects of exhaust gases on the environment and human health.

[0003] Existing exhaust gas treatment structures, for example, Chinese patent literature discloses a special cooling barrel for vacuum pipeline processes used in semiconductor exhaust gas treatment [patent number: 202110478973.6; application publication number: CN113101687A], which includes a cold trap cover and a cold trap body. The cold trap cover is arranged on the top of the cold trap body, and a cold trap clamp is provided on the outside of the cold trap cover and the cold trap body. The top outer end of the cold trap body is inlaid with a cold trap body sealing ring, and the inner upper end of the cold trap body is provided with an inner sealing ring. The top of the cold trap cover is distributed with a cooling water inlet and a cooling water outlet, and the bottoms of the cooling water inlet and the cooling water outlet are connected to cooling pipes. The top side end of the cold trap cover is provided with a gas inlet, and the side end of the cold trap body is fixed with a gas outlet.

[0004] In this type of cooling barrel, cooling water enters through the cooling water inlet, flows along the cooling pipe, and is discharged from the cooling water outlet. Exhaust gas enters through the gas inlet and is discharged through the gas outlet, allowing the exhaust gas to exchange heat with the cooling water, thereby reducing the exhaust gas temperature. However, this type of cooling barrel first cools the baffle through the cooling pipe, and the exhaust gas and the baffle contact to achieve heat exchange. This is indirect contact, with a small contact area, poor heat exchange effect, and low cooling efficiency. At the same time, the exhaust gas flows directly from the top of the cooling barrel to the bottom of the cooling barrel, shortening the cooling distance and time, thereby reducing the cooling effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems existing in the prior art and to propose a vacuum tail gas cold trap, which solves the technical problem of how to improve the cooling effect of the tail gas.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a vacuum exhaust gas cold trap, comprising a shell with a drain port at the bottom and a heat exchange tube arranged in the shell, characterized in that it also includes a barrel body and an air inlet pipe fixedly connected to the shell, the shell having an air outlet at the top and an air inlet at the bottom, the top of the barrel body is sealed and the bottom has an opening, a first air passage for exhaust gas to pass through is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the barrel body and the inner peripheral wall of the shell, the bottom of the inlet pipe is connected to the air inlet of the shell, and the top extends from the bottom of the barrel body to the top of the barrel body, a second air passage for exhaust gas to pass through is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the inlet pipe and the inner peripheral wall of the barrel body, part of the heat exchange tube is located in the first air passage, and the rest is located in the second air passage.

[0007] During operation, cooling water flows in the heat exchange tube, and the exhaust gas enters the intake pipe through the air inlet of the shell, then flows along the intake pipe to the top of the barrel body, then flows along the second air passage and enters the shell through the opening at the bottom of the barrel body, and then flows through the first air passage to the air outlet at the top of the shell and flows out. The air outlet at the top of the shell can be connected to a vacuum pump so that the exhaust gas can flow more smoothly in the set direction. The exhaust gas flows upward along the intake pipe first, then flows downward along the second air passage, and finally flows upward along the first air passage. That is, the exhaust gas has a long flow path in the shell, which increases the heat exchange time. At the same time, part of the heat exchange tube is located in the first air passage and the rest is located in the second air passage, so that the exhaust gas is fully in contact with the heat exchange tube, which increases the contact area, increases the heat exchange time, and improves the cooling effect of the exhaust gas.

[0008] In the aforementioned vacuum exhaust cold trap, a conical cap is fixed to the top of the intake pipe via several support rods. An air hole for exhaust gas is located between two adjacent support rods. The bottom surface of the conical cap, facing the intake pipe, features a conical guide surface that is lower in the middle and higher around the edges. The conical cap prevents exhaust gas from directly impacting the barrel, improving the cold trap's stability. The guide surface also ensures exhaust gas flows in a predetermined direction, enabling better heat exchange and enhancing exhaust cooling.

[0009] In the aforementioned vacuum exhaust gas cold trap, a certain distance is provided between the conical cap and the barrel. This structure prevents the conical cap from contacting the barrel, preventing vibrations caused by exhaust gas impact on the conical cap from being transmitted to the entire barrel, thereby improving the stability of the cold trap and thus enhancing the cooling effect of the exhaust gas.

[0010] In the aforementioned vacuum exhaust cold trap, the bottom of the barrel is substantially flush with the bottom of the heat exchange tube, and the top of the barrel is substantially flush with the top of the heat exchange tube. This structure is rationally designed and facilitates installation of the heat exchange tube and barrel. Substantially flush can mean flush with each other, or there can be a certain height difference, for example, a height difference of 10 cm.

[0011] In the aforementioned vacuum exhaust gas cold trap, the intake pipe includes a straight pipe section located within the barrel, and the central axes of the housing, the barrel, and the straight pipe section are aligned. This rational design ensures uniform exhaust gas distribution, improves the stability of the cold trap, and thus enhances the exhaust gas cooling effect.

[0012] In the aforementioned vacuum exhaust cold trap, the intake pipe further comprises a transverse pipe section and an arc-shaped curved pipe section, the transverse pipe section being connected to the straight pipe section via the curved pipe section, and the transverse pipe section being connected to the air inlet of the housing. This structure allows for a reasonable arrangement of the intake pipe.

[0013] In the above-mentioned vacuum tail gas cold trap, the water inlet of the heat exchange tube is located at the bottom of the shell, and the water outlet of the heat exchange tube is located at the top of the shell.

[0014] In the above-mentioned vacuum tail gas cold trap, the bottom of the shell also has an inspection port.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the vacuum tail gas cold trap provided by the utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. Due to the arrangement of the air inlet pipe and the barrel, the vacuum exhaust cold trap makes the exhaust move in a serpentine shape, thereby improving the exhaust flow path, increasing the cooling time, and thus improving the cooling effect of the exhaust.

[0017] 2. Due to the arrangement of the air inlet pipe and the barrel, the vacuum exhaust cold trap separates the first and second air passages for installing the heat exchange tubes in the shell, thereby increasing the contact area between the exhaust gas and the heat exchange tubes and thus improving the cooling effect of the exhaust gas.
