After the process is completed, the exhaust pump is used to exhaust the reaction waste gas from the reaction chamber, and the exhaust gas pipeline is used to introduce the exhaust gas into the exhaust treatment device. The reaction waste gas reacts with water and oxygen in the exhaust pipeline to form solid compound dust.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The main body heating structure 1 further comprises a plurality of isolation sheets 9, the number of the isolation sheets 9 is even, the isolation sheets 9 are arranged between the second flange plate 6 and the third flange plate 8, as shown in Figure 3 The isolation sheets 9 are distributed in the circumferential direction, adjacent two isolation sheets 9 and the outer wall of the gas outlet pipe 4, the inner wall of the outer pipe 7, the lower surface of the third flange plate 8 and the upper surface of the second flange plate 6 together form a gas heating space 101 or a gas diffusion space 102, and the gas heating space 101 and the gas diffusion space 102 are arranged adjacently.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the gas heating space 101 is provided with a heating element 10, and the purge gas inlet pipe 3 also communicates with the gas heating space 101, and the purge gas entering the gas heating space 101 is heated by the heating element 10. In this embodiment, the first flange plate 5 and the third flange plate 8 are both provided with mounting holes, the heating element 10 is sequentially inserted into the mounting holes on the first flange plate 5 and the third flange plate 8, and then extends into the gas heating space 101, the heating element 10 is fixed on the top of the first flange plate 5 by fasteners, and the power supply and signal lines of the heating element 10 are led out of the main body heating structure 1, and the main body heating part of the heating element 10 extends to the bottom of the gas heating space 101, that is, the heating element 10 is close to the second flange plate 6, so that the heating element 10 can uniformly heat the entire gas heating space 101. As shown in the figure, Figure 2 As shown, the isolation sheet 9 is provided with a plurality of first air holes 901, and the first air holes 901 communicate the gas heating space 101 and the gas diffusion space 102, and the distance between the first air holes 901 and the lower surface of the third flange plate 8 can be set to 2mm-5mm, and the first air holes 901 are arranged close to the third flange plate 8, so that the purge gas entering the gas heating space 101 can be fully heated by the heating element 10 before entering the gas diffusion space 102 through the first air holes 901. As shown in the figure, Figure 3 As shown, the third flange plate 8 is provided with a plurality of second air holes 802, and the second air holes 802 are located at the gas diffusion space 102, and the second air holes 802 communicate the gas diffusion space 102 and the gas transmission space 103 between the first flange plate 5 and the third flange plate 8 (as shown in the figure) Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown).

[0037] In this embodiment, the distance between the lower surface of the first flange plate 5 and the upper surface of the third flange plate 8 can be set to 2mm-5mm, and the third flange plate 8 is arranged close to the first flange plate 5, so as to expand the height of the gas heating space 101 as much as possible, and make the capacity of the gas heating space 101 reach the maximum as much as possible, so as to improve the heating efficiency, and at the same time, reduce the capacity of the gas transmission space 103 between the first flange plate 5 and the third flange plate 8 as much as possible, and reduce the heat loss of the purge gas when passing through the gas transmission space 103.

[0038] As shown in the figure, Figure 4As shown, the purge gas inlet pipe 3 introduces the purge gas (generally nitrogen N2) from a purge gas source (not shown in the figure) into the gas heating space 101 from the bottom, and the introduced purge gas has a predetermined pressure (0.4Mpa-0.6Mpa) and a predetermined flow rate (20LPM-30LPM), so as to ensure that the purge gas can have enough power to spiral from the bottom to the top of the gas heating space 101, as shown by the red arrow, and the purge gas spirals around the heating element 10 in the gas heating space 101, increasing the length of the gas flow path, so that the purge gas can stay in the gas heating space 101 for a longer time, so as to make the purge gas contact the heating element 10 more fully, fully exert the heating effect of the heating element 10, and make the purge gas be heated fully and uniformly by the heating element 10. Finally, the high-pressure and high-temperature purge gas enters the gas diffusion space 102 through the first air hole 901 on the isolation sheet 9, then enters the space between the first flange plate 5 and the third flange plate 8 through the second air hole 802 on the second flange plate 8, and finally enters the outlet pipe 4 through the annular gap 11 between the waste gas inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 4, and then enters the pipeline connected to the tail gas treatment equipment, so as to realize the purge and cleaning of the inner wall of the pipeline. In order to accurately control the heating temperature of the purge gas, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a temperature sensor 12 is arranged to detect the temperature, and a mounting hole is arranged on the first flange plate 5. After the temperature sensor 12 is inserted into the gas transmission space 103 between the first flange plate 5 and the third flange plate 8 through the mounting hole on the first flange plate 5, the temperature sensor 12 is fixed on the top of the first flange plate 5 by a fastener. Because the purge gas after heating is finally located in the space between the first flange plate 5 and the third flange plate 8 before entering the outlet pipe 4 through the annular gap 11 between the waste gas inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 4, the sensing head of the temperature sensor 12 is arranged in the gas transmission space 103 between the first flange plate 5 and the third flange plate 8, so that the temperature data of the purge gas entering the outlet pipe 4 can be obtained most accurately, and the heating power of the heating element 10 can be adjusted in time according to the obtained temperature data, so as to obtain the best purge effect.

[0039] As shown in Figure 5As shown, according to the Venturi principle, the annular gap 11 formed between the outlet end of the exhaust gas inlet pipe 2 and the inlet end of the outlet pipe 4 creates a negative pressure generator. The high-pressure, high-heat purging gas from the gas heating space 101 passes through the gas diffusion space 102 and the gas transmission space 103 in sequence, and finally enters the outlet pipe 4 (red arrow) through the annular gap 11. A negative pressure environment is generated at the outlet end of the exhaust gas inlet pipe 2. The exhaust gas from the vacuum pump is quickly sucked into the outlet pipe 4 (green arrow) under the suction of the negative pressure, which greatly increases the gas flow rate and prevents dust from accumulating on the pipe wall. The purging gas enters the outlet pipe 4 along the annular gap 11, making the inlet direction of the purging gas consistent with the inlet direction of the exhaust gas from the vacuum pump, avoiding mutual disturbance of the gases, further improving the purging efficiency and enhancing the purging cleaning effect.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the exhaust gas inlet pipe 2 is 0.2mm to 0.3mm smaller than the inner diameter of the exhaust gas outlet pipe 4, thereby making the width of the annular gap 11 0.2mm to 0.3mm. At the same time, the length of the exhaust gas inlet pipe 2 extending into the exhaust gas outlet pipe 4 is 3mm to 4mm, thereby making the height of the annular gap 11 3mm to 4mm. By reasonably setting the width and height of the annular gap 11, the effect of the negative pressure generator is optimized.

[0041] like Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, four isolation sheets 9 are arranged to form two gas heating spaces 101 and two gas diffusion spaces 102, the two gas heating spaces 101 are symmetrically arranged, and the gas heating spaces 101 are flanked by the gas diffusion spaces 102. One heating element 10 is arranged in each of the gas heating spaces 101, and the heating element 10 is arranged at the central axis of the gas heating space 101, so that the heat radiation distance to the surroundings is almost equal, so as to better achieve uniform heating. The outlet end of the purge gas inlet pipe 3 is arranged at the edge of the gas heating space 101, so that the purge gas entering the gas heating space 101 from the purge gas inlet pipe 3 can fully spiral around the heating element 10, increasing the length of the gas flow path, so that the purge gas can be more fully contacted with the heating element 10, so that the purge gas can be fully and uniformly heated by the heating element 10. The symmetrically arranged two gas heating spaces 101 improve the heating efficiency and heating reliability. In this embodiment, the circumferential angle of the gas heating space 101 is set to 120°, and correspondingly, the circumferential angle of the gas diffusion space 102 is set to 60°, the distribution range of the gas heating space 101 is greater than that of the gas diffusion space 102, preferably, the space volume of the gas heating space 101 is set to twice that of the gas diffusion space 102, which is beneficial to improve the heating efficiency, and to improve the speed of the heated purge gas entering the annular gap 11 through the gas diffusion space 102, reducing the heat loss of the purge gas when passing through the gas diffusion space 102.

[0042] The application adopts multiple flanges to fix the nested installation of the exhaust gas inlet pipe and the exhaust gas outlet pipe, the overall design and installation are compact in structure and save space (the original size and shape size is 257*157*70, and the present shape size is 197*143*121), the flange is used to connect the exhaust gas inlet pipe and the exhaust gas outlet pipe into the gas conveying pipeline between the exhaust pump and the tail gas treatment device, without adding additional connecting pipeline, the cost is saved, and the operation difficulty is reduced. Multiple heating elements and gas heating spaces are arranged to heat the purge gas, the heating efficiency and heating reliability are improved, the purge gas is fully spiraled around the heating elements from bottom to top in the gas heating space, the length of the gas flow path is maximized, the purge gas is more fully contacted with the heating elements, the heating efficiency of the heating elements is fully utilized, and the purge gas is fully and uniformly heated by the heating elements. The annular gap formed between the exhaust gas inlet pipe and the exhaust gas outlet pipe is used as a channel for the purge gas to enter the exhaust gas outlet pipe, there is no heat loss, the efficiency is high, the purge gas enters the exhaust gas outlet pipe along the annular gap, the inlet direction of the purge gas is consistent with the inlet direction of the exhaust gas from the exhaust pump, the mutual disturbance of the gases is avoided, the purge efficiency is further improved, the annular gap forms a negative pressure generator, the exhaust gas from the exhaust pump is quickly sucked into the exhaust gas outlet pipe under the suction of the negative pressure, the gas flow rate is greatly improved, the dust accumulation on the pipe wall is prevented, and the purge cleaning effect is enhanced.
