For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1The embodiment provides a lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100, which comprises a light source 110, a lamp chamber main body 120, and air inlet and outlet assemblies 130 and 140 respectively arranged at opposite ends of the lamp chamber main body 120; the lamp chamber main body 120 comprises a containing cavity formed by oppositely arranged upper and lower lamp covers 121 and 122, and the light source 110 is arranged in the containing cavity; the air inlet assembly 130 comprises an air inlet hole 131 in communication with the lamp chamber main body 120, and the lamp chamber main body 120 is in communication with the outside through the air inlet hole 131; the air outlet assembly 140 comprises an air outlet channel 141 in communication with the lamp chamber main body 120, and the lamp chamber main body 120 is in communication with the outside through the air outlet channel 141; after air enters the lamp chamber main body 120 through the air inlet hole 131, the air is sequentially discharged from the outlet of the air outlet channel 141 through the upper and lower lamp covers 121 and 122.

[0028] Specifically, the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100 comprises the light source 110, the lamp chamber main body 120, and the air inlet and outlet assemblies 130 and 140 respectively arranged at opposite ends of the lamp chamber main body 120. Since the light source 110 is an important element in the photolithography process, a large amount of heat is generated during operation of the light source 110, and a good heat dissipation environment is needed to ensure stable operation. The lamp chamber main body 120 provides a space structure for accommodating and protecting the light source 110. The air inlet and outlet assemblies 130 and 140 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the lamp chamber main body 120, and are used to build an air circulation channel. Through the cooperation of air inlet and outlet, the heat in the lamp chamber can be effectively discharged to maintain a suitable temperature environment.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 The cross sections of the upper and lower lamp covers 121 and 122 are trapezoidal structures, and the upper and lower lamp covers 121 and 122 are respectively provided with air inlets and outlets at opposite ends along the air flow direction. The air inlet of the upper lamp cover 121 is in communication with the air inlet hole 131, and the air outlet faces the light source 110. The inner diameter of the air inlet of the upper lamp cover 121 is smaller than that of the air outlet, so that the contact between air and the light source 110 is increased, and the heat emitted by the light source 110 can be better carried away. The air inlet of the lower lamp cover 122 faces the light source 110, and the air outlet is in communication with the air outlet channel 141. The inner diameter of the air inlet of the lower lamp cover 122 is larger than that of the air outlet, so that the air can more quickly carry away the heat emitted by the light source 110, and the heat dissipation effect is improved. By arranging the cross sections of the upper and lower lamp covers 121 and 122 in trapezoidal structures, the air flow path can be guided, and the air flowability and the heat dissipation effect are improved.

[0030] The air inlet assembly 130 includes an air inlet hole 131 in communication with the lamp chamber body 120. The air inlet hole 131 serves as an entrance for cold air from the outside to enter the lamp chamber body 120, enabling air with a relatively low temperature from the outside to be introduced into the lamp chamber body 120 through the air inlet hole 131 and absorb the heat generated by the light source 110, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the temperature of the lamp chamber. At the same time, the lamp chamber body 120 is in communication with the outside through the outlet of the air exhaust channel 141. The outlet of the air exhaust channel 141 enables the air with a higher temperature after heat exchange to be discharged from the lamp chamber body 120. The air inlet hole 131 and the outlet of the air exhaust channel 141 cooperate with each other to form a circulating flow path for the air in the lamp chamber.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 , the air exhaust assembly 140 includes an air exhaust channel 141 in communication with the lamp chamber body 120, and the lamp chamber body 120 is in communication with the outside through the air exhaust channel 141. When the air in the lamp chamber is heated after heat exchange, the hot air will enter the air exhaust channel 141 and be quickly guided to the outside environment. The design of the air exhaust channel 141 can enhance the efficiency and directivity of air exhaust, and can more effectively exhaust hot air to avoid the accumulation of hot air near the lamp chamber, thereby further strengthening the air circulation effect in the lamp chamber and ensuring the continuity and stability of heat dissipation.

[0032] It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present application, first, as shown in Figure 2 , the upper lamp cover 121 is provided with a positive air jet nozzle 1211, and the lower lamp cover 122 is provided with a negative air jet nozzle 1221 opposite to the positive air jet nozzle 1211, and the positive air jet nozzle 1211 and the negative air jet nozzle 1221 are used for air jet to form a counter-jet flow field.

[0033] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , inside the upper lamp cover 121, a positive air jet nozzle 1211 is arranged, which can spray gas into the accommodation cavity space inside the lamp chamber body 120 according to the set pressure and flow parameters. Similarly, a negative air jet nozzle 1221 is arranged in the lower lamp cover 122, which also has the function of gas jet. The negative air jet nozzle 1221 is in an opposite arrangement state with the positive air jet nozzle 1211, and the two correspond to each other in spatial position, and jointly form a gas flow environment.

[0034] The positive jet nozzle 1211 and the negative jet nozzle 1221 can form a counterflow air flow field inside the accommodating cavity of the lamp chamber body 120 through respective jet actions. The existence of the counterflow air flow field can greatly change the flow state of the air in the lamp chamber, promote the air in the lamp chamber to form more intense convection, enhance the heat exchange efficiency between the air and the light source 110 and other heat generating components, thereby further improving the heat dissipation performance of the entire lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100, and ensuring that the light source 110 continuously works in a stable temperature environment.

[0035] Secondly, as shown in Figure 2 The exhaust assembly 140 further includes an exhaust blower 144 arranged at the outlet of the exhaust passage 141. As the core power source of the exhaust assembly 140, the exhaust blower 144 functions to enhance the air flow speed and exhaust efficiency inside the lamp chamber body 120 by actively extracting air.

[0036] Compared with the traditional natural convection mode, the setting of the exhaust blower 144 improves the efficiency of the entire heat dissipation system. The exhaust blower 144 extracts air in such a way that hot air can more quickly escape from the light source 110, reducing the residence time of heat in the local area. Moreover, the directional air flow generated by the exhaust blower 144 can strengthen the air circulation in the lamp chamber, forming a more efficient heat exchange process in cooperation with the fresh cold air introduced by the air inlet assembly 130. In addition, the setting of the exhaust blower 144 also optimizes the air flow stability in the exhaust passage 141, avoiding the problem of poor exhaust caused by changes in external environmental air pressure or pipeline resistance.

[0037] Thirdly, the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100 further includes a temperature sensor 150 and a control assembly, as shown in Figure 3 The temperature sensor 150 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the control assembly is connected with the temperature sensor 150 and the light source 110 respectively; the temperature sensor 150 is used for detecting the real-time temperature in the accommodating cavity and transmitting the real-time temperature information to the control assembly; the control assembly can adjust the brightness of the light source 110 through the real-time temperature information.

[0038] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The temperature sensor 150 is installed in the accommodating cavity formed by the upper lamp shade 121 and the lower lamp shade 122, which is the concentrated heat generation area of the light source 110. This layout ensures that the temperature sensor 150 can directly monitor the superimposed temperature field of the radiant heat of the light source 110 and the convection heat of the air, which can reduce environmental interference errors and improve the accuracy of temperature detection compared with external indirect temperature measurement.

[0039] The control component establishes data transmission with the temperature sensor 150 and is electrically connected to the drive circuit of the light source 110, so that the control component can not only acquire the temperature data in the accommodating cavity in real time, but also synchronously output adjustment commands to the light source 110.

[0040] The control component can perform threshold comparisons on the received temperature data. When the detected temperature exceeds a preset upper limit, the control component reduces the driving current of the light source 110, causing the output power and heat generation of the light source 110 to decrease synchronously; when the temperature is below a preset lower limit, the driving current is increased to maintain a stable operating temperature of the light source 110. This dynamic adjustment method keeps the temperature fluctuation of the accommodating cavity within a stable range, thereby improving the reliability of the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100.

[0041] The lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100 provided in this application includes a light source 110, a lamp chamber body 120, and an air intake assembly 130 and an exhaust assembly 140 respectively disposed at opposite ends of the lamp chamber body 120. The air intake assembly 130 and the exhaust assembly 140 disposed at opposite ends of the lamp chamber body 120 form a more reasonable airflow path, allowing air to enter and exit the lamp chamber body 120 in an orderly manner, thus improving air circulation within the lamp chamber. The lamp chamber body 120 includes a receiving cavity formed by an upper lampshade 121 and a lower lampshade 122 disposed opposite to each other. The light source 110 is disposed within the receiving cavity. The arrangement of the upper and lower lampshades 122 better guides the airflow path within the receiving cavity, allowing air to pass sequentially through the upper lampshade 121 and the lower lampshade 122. This design allows for more thorough contact between air and the light source 110, thereby more effectively removing heat and improving heat dissipation. The air intake assembly 130 includes an air intake hole 131 communicating with the lamp chamber body 120, through which the lamp chamber body 120 communicates with the outside. The exhaust assembly 140 includes an exhaust duct 141 communicating with the lamp chamber body 120, through which the lamp chamber body 120 communicates with the outside. After air enters the lamp chamber body 120 through the air intake hole 131, it passes sequentially through the upper lamp cover 121 and the lower lamp cover 122 and is discharged from the outlet of the exhaust duct 141. Compared with the disordered airflow and ineffective heat dissipation in the prior art, this application can more efficiently remove heat from the lamp chamber and maintain a stable temperature inside the lamp chamber by setting an orderly airflow path. The above-mentioned lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100 can improve the heat dissipation effect inside the lamp chamber, thereby ensuring the temperature stability of the light source 110 and the yield of chip manufacturing.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the exhaust assembly 140 also includes a water-cooled heat exchanger 142, which is disposed in the exhaust duct 141. The air in the lamp chamber body 120 passes through the upper lamp cover 121 and the lower lamp cover 122 in sequence and then enters the water-cooled heat exchanger 142. After being cooled by the water-cooled heat exchanger 142, it is discharged from the outlet of the exhaust duct 141.

[0043] Specifically, the water-cooled heat exchanger 142 serves as an efficient heat exchange device, and its main function is to absorb and carry away the heat in the gas by using the cooling liquid, thereby achieving the cooling treatment of the gas.

[0044] The water-cooled heat exchanger 142 is installed in the exhaust air passage 141, ensuring that the hot air flowing out of the lamp chamber body 120 can fully contact and exchange heat with the water-cooled heat exchanger 142 before being discharged. Such a layout makes the entire exhaust assembly 140 more compact and efficient, fully utilizing the space of the exhaust air passage 141, while also ensuring that the hot air can be cooled in time and effectively, and be ready for subsequent discharge to the external environment.

[0045] Through the setting of the water-cooled heat exchanger 142, the heat dissipation capacity of the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100 is further enhanced, and through a reasonable air flow path and an efficient heat exchange process, the problems of imperfect lamp chamber heat dissipation mechanism, excessively high temperature and large fluctuation in the prior art are effectively solved, and the yield and production efficiency of chip manufacturing are improved.

[0046] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , the exhaust assembly 140 further includes a flow guide plate 143, which is arranged in the exhaust air passage 141 and located at the inlet of the water-cooled heat exchanger 142. The air enters the water-cooled heat exchanger 142 through the flow guide plate 143. Preferably, the flow guide plate 143 is made of metal or high-temperature-resistant composite material. The flow guide plate 143 can optimize the air flow distribution in the exhaust air passage 141 and enhance the overall efficiency of the heat dissipation system.

[0047] The flow guide plate 143 is installed inside the exhaust air passage 141 and is adjacent to the air inlet end of the water-cooled heat exchanger 142. Before the hot air enters the water-cooled heat exchanger 142, the flow guide plate 143 rectifies the turbulent airflow into uniform and directional laminar flow through the flow guide grooves or blade structures on its surface, reduces the fluid boundary layer separation phenomenon, and thus ensures that the hot air is uniformly distributed into the heat exchange tube bundle of the water-cooled heat exchanger 142 at a uniform speed, avoiding the decrease of heat exchange efficiency caused by excessively high or low local flow rate, and further improving the heat exchange efficiency and reliability of the exhaust assembly 140.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 , the air inlet assembly 130 includes an air inlet chamber 132 communicating with the lamp chamber body 120, at least one side wall of the air inlet chamber 132 is provided with an air inlet baffle 133, and the air inlet hole 131 is arranged on the air inlet baffle 133.

[0049] Specifically, the main role of the air inlet chamber 132 is to serve as a transition area for external air to enter the lamp chamber body 120. The air inlet chamber 132 is in communication with the lamp chamber body 120, providing a channel for the flow of air, so that external air can smoothly enter the lamp chamber body 120 from the air inlet chamber 132. The air inlet chamber 132 can preliminarily buffer and regulate the entering air, avoiding the direct and disordered impact of external air on the components in the lamp chamber body 120, and helping to maintain the stability and uniformity of air flow in the lamp chamber body 120.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side wall of the air inlet chamber 132 is provided with an air inlet baffle 133, which can play multiple roles. On the one hand, it can block and guide the air entering the air inlet chamber 132 to a certain extent, changing the flow direction and speed distribution of the air. For example, when external air impacts the air inlet chamber 132 at a high speed, the air inlet baffle 133 can slow down the flow rate of the air, so that the air enters the air inlet chamber 132 more smoothly. On the other hand, the air inlet baffle 133 can also filter out larger particulate impurities that may be carried in the external air to a certain extent, preventing these impurities from entering the lamp chamber body 120 along with the air, and causing damage to the precision components such as the light source 110 in the lamp chamber body 120.

[0051] For example, the air inlet baffle 133 is a louvered structure with adjustable angle, and an air inlet hole 131 is formed between adjacent two blades.

[0052] Specifically, the air inlet baffle 133 can be composed of multiple groups of parallel blades, each group of blades having a preset rotation angle. By dynamically adjusting the blade inclination angle, the air inlet flow and airflow direction can be accurately controlled to adapt to the heat dissipation requirements under different working conditions. This adjustable air inlet amount can make the temperature fluctuation of the accommodating cavity more flexible and controllable, thereby improving the use reliability of the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100.

[0053] Preferably, the blades of the air inlet baffle 133 can be drivenly connected with a control assembly, and the control assembly can adjust the inclination angle of the blades by electric driving. The control assembly can perform threshold comparison on the received temperature data. When the detected temperature exceeds the preset upper limit, the control assembly can increase the air inlet flow by adjusting the blade inclination angle; when the temperature is lower than the preset lower limit, the air inlet flow is reduced by adjusting the blade inclination angle. Through such an adjustment mode, the heat dissipation process of the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100 is more flexible and controllable.

[0054] In an implementable manner of the present application, as Figure 3As shown, the lamp chamber body 120 is provided with a mounting base plate 123 on the side facing the air inlet chamber 132, and the mounting base plate 123 is provided with a plurality of through holes; the air inlet chamber 132 is arranged on the top of the mounting base plate 123.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3 The mounting base plate 123 is arranged on the side of the lamp chamber body 120 facing the air inlet chamber 132, and is rigidly connected to the lamp chamber body 120 in a detachable and fixed manner. The upper lamp cover 121 is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 123, thereby improving the connection stability of the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100. In addition, the air inlet chamber 132 is detachable from the mounting base plate 123, which facilitates separate disassembly, cleaning or replacement of the filter screen and other components, thereby further improving the reliability and service life of the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100.

[0056] The surface of the mounting base plate 123 is uniformly provided with a plurality of through holes, which enhances the uniformity of the airflow. The through holes form an airflow channel between the lamp chamber body 120 and the air inlet chamber 132, so that the cold air entering the air inlet chamber 132 enters the interior of the lamp chamber body 120 through the through holes and participates in the subsequent heat exchange process.

[0057] In another aspect of the embodiment, a photolithography device is provided, which comprises the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100. The lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100 can improve the stability of the photolithography temperature through the integrated heat dissipation mechanism, thereby ensuring uniform supply of the photoresist during exposure, improving the chip manufacturing yield, production efficiency and service life of the photolithography device. The specific structure and beneficial effects of the lamp chamber heat dissipation structure 100 have been described in detail above, and will not be described again here.

[0058] The above is only an optional embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.

[0059] In addition, it should be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present application will not describe various possible combinations again.
