Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pure water treatment technology, and in particular to an ultrapure water treatment system for a cleaning terminal. Background Technology

[0002] Semiconductor front-end equipment components have very high cleanliness requirements, especially those that come into contact with wafers, which are extremely sensitive to particulate matter. The cleanliness of these components directly affects the yield of chips. Therefore, cleaning before packaging is particularly important and must be done in an ISO 6 or higher cleanroom using ultrapure water with a resistivity of not less than 4MΩ.

[0003] The conventional approach involves producing ultrapure water with an Ω rating of at least 15MΩ from a pure water station. This ultrapure water then enters a cleanroom through reversible PVC pipes. The cleanroom then adds the ultrapure water to a tank. However, the water quality of ultrapure water deteriorates rapidly upon contact with air. Initially, the Ω rating is >5MΩ, but as it comes into contact with air or the parts to be cleaned enter the tank, the Ω rating drops quickly to <1MΩ, far below the cleaning requirements. The traditional method is to increase the overflow and continuously add new ultrapure water, which increases the amount of pure water used and the operating cost. Therefore, an ultrapure water treatment system for the cleaning terminal is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The top of the cleaning tank is provided with a lifting plate, and the bottom of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to an inner box. Both sides of the lifting plate are hinged with cover plates for sealing the top of the inner box. The water outlet pipe passes through the lifting plate and communicates with the inner box. A distribution pipe is provided in the resin bed, and the first connecting pipe is inserted into the distribution pipe.

[0008] Two symmetrically arranged inclined plates are rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the inner box. Two top plates that cooperate with the inclined plates are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the inner box. Electric push rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the washing pool, and the output ends of the electric push rods are fixed to the lifting plate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of each inclined plate is fixedly connected with a through drain pipe, and the top of each drain pipe is hinged with a floating cover for sealing the top of the drain pipe.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, two limiting posts for limiting the inclined plate are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the inner box.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, an inclined filter plate is fixedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the resin bed.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the filter plate is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, the bottom of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe, the discharge pipe passes through the resin bed, one end of the discharge pipe is threaded to a threaded head, one side of the threaded head is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and a spiral blade for discharging is fixedly connected to the circumference of the rotating shaft, the spiral blade being located inside the discharge pipe.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the discharge pipe is in contact with the bottom inner wall of the resin bed, and two guide plates are fixedly connected between the bottom inner wall of the resin bed and the bottom of the filter plate, with the discharge pipe located between the two guide plates.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a filter box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the distribution pipe, and the filter box is located below the filter plate.

[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a treatment box is provided on one side of the resin bed, and a sodium hydroxide solution is provided inside the treatment box. An air pump is fixedly installed on the top of the treatment box, and an air extraction pipe is fixedly connected to the air extraction end of the air pump. Two second branch pipes are fixedly connected to the circumference of the air extraction pipe, and the two second branch pipes are respectively connected to the resin bed and the inner box. An exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the air pump, and the exhaust pipe passes through the treatment box and is located inside the treatment box.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figures 1-6 An ultrapure water treatment system for a cleaning terminal includes a cleaning tank 1 and a resin bed 6 disposed on one side of the cleaning tank 1. The cleaning tank 1 contains pure water, and the resin bed 6 contains ion exchange resin for treating pure water. A circulation pump 5 is disposed between the cleaning tank 1 and the resin bed 6. The pumping end of the circulation pump 5 is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 1, and the outlet end of the circulation pump 5 is fixedly connected to an inlet pipe 24. A connecting sleeve 7 is threadedly connected to the top of the resin bed 6. A first connecting pipe 25 and a second connecting pipe 26 are fixedly passed through the inner circumference of the connecting sleeve 7. The first connecting pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe 24, and one end of the second connecting pipe 26 is fixedly connected to an outlet pipe 23.

[0034] A lifting plate 2 is installed on the top of the cleaning tank 1. An inner box 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 2. Cover plates 3 for sealing the top of the inner box 11 are hinged on both sides of the lifting plate 2. The water outlet pipe 23 passes through the lifting plate 2 and communicates with the inner box 11. A distribution pipe 17 is installed in the resin bed 6. The first connecting pipe 25 is inserted into the distribution pipe 17. The circulation pump 5 draws pure water from the cleaning tank 1 and lets the pure water enter the resin bed 6 through the distribution pipe 17. The pure water is treated by the exchange resin in the resin bed 6. As the water pressure in the resin bed 6 increases, the treated pure water returns to the cleaning tank 1 through the drain pipe 13, so that the pure water can be circulated and the waste of pure water is reduced.

[0035] Two symmetrically arranged inclined plates 12 are rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the inner box 11. Two top plates 15 that cooperate with the inclined plates 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the inner box 11. Electric push rods 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cleaning pool 1. The output ends of the electric push rods 4 are fixed to the lifting plate 2. When placing the workpiece, the inner box 11 moves upward and leaves the water surface. After that, the inclined plates 12 at the bottom of the inner box 11 disengage from the top plates 15, and the inclined plates 12 rotate under their own weight. The tops of the two inclined plates 12 approach each other, thus forming a closed space, reducing the contact between pure water and air, and preventing pure water from reacting with air.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Reference Figures 1-6 Based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a new technical solution:

[0038] In this invention, the bottom of each inclined plate 12 is fixedly connected with a through drain pipe 13, and the top of each drain pipe 13 is hinged with a floating cover 14 for sealing the top of the drain pipe 13. The pure water stored in the inclined plate 12 flows downward through the drain pipe 13. After the liquid level drops, the floating cover 14 falls and closes, further preventing the pure water from reacting with the air.

[0039] In particular, two limiting posts 16 are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the inner box 11 for limiting the inclined plate 12. The limiting posts 16 play the role of limiting the inclined plate 12 and restricting its angle.

[0040] It should be noted that an inclined filter plate 27 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the resin bed 6, and the filter plate 27 blocks the resin.

[0041] In this invention, a connecting pipe 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter plate 27, and a discharge pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe 28. The discharge pipe 8 passes through the resin bed 6. A threaded head 29 is threaded to one end of the discharge pipe 8. A rotating shaft 30 is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded head 29. A spiral blade 31 for discharging is fixedly connected to the circumference of the rotating shaft 30. The spiral blade 31 is located inside the discharge pipe 8. By rotating the threaded head 29, the spiral blade 31 is driven to rotate, thereby discharging the exchange resin in the resin bed 6, which facilitates resin replacement.

[0042] In particular, the discharge pipe 8 is in contact with the bottom inner wall of the resin bed 6. Two guide plates 32 are fixedly connected between the bottom inner wall of the resin bed 6 and the bottom of the filter plate 27. The discharge pipe 8 is located between the two guide plates 32. After the resin particles with smaller size pass through the filter plate 27, they can be guided by the guide plates 32 and enter the discharge pipe 8, thereby improving the discharge effect.

[0043] It should be noted that a filter box 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the distribution pipe 17. The filter box 33 is located below the filter plate 27, and the filter box 33 prevents the water outlet from being blocked.

[0044] In this invention, a treatment box 9 is provided on one side of the resin bed 6. The treatment box 9 contains a sodium hydroxide solution. An air pump 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the treatment box 9. The air pump 10 is fixedly connected to an air extraction pipe 21 at its extraction end. Two second branch pipes 22 are fixedly connected to the circumference of the air extraction pipe 21. The two second branch pipes 22 are respectively connected to the resin bed 6 and the inner box 11. An exhaust pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the air pump 10. The exhaust pipe 18 passes through the treatment box 9 and is located inside the treatment box 9. An exhaust pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the treatment box 9. Two first branch pipes 20 are fixedly connected to the circumference of the exhaust pipe 19. The first branch pipes 20 are respectively connected to the resin bed 6 and the inner box 11. When the air pump 10 is started, the air pump 10 draws air from the inner box 11 and then discharges it into the treatment box 9. The air then reacts with the sodium hydroxide solution in the treatment box 9 to remove carbon dioxide from the air and is discharged back into the inner box 11 to reduce the reaction between carbon dioxide in the air and pure water.

[0045] In particular, control valves are installed around the circumference of both the first branch pipe 20 and the second branch pipe 22, which facilitates the replacement of the passage.

[0046] It should be noted that both the first branch pipe 20 and the second branch pipe 22 are flexible hoses, which facilitate movement.

[0047] Working Principle: In use, the cleaning tank 1 is filled with pure water. When a workpiece needs to be placed, the electric push rod 4 is activated. The electric push rod 4 drives the inner tank 11 upwards via the lifting plate 2. When the inner tank 11 is removed from the water surface, its bottom inclined plate 12 disengages from the top plate 15, causing the inclined plate 12 to rotate under its own weight. The tops of the two inclined plates 12 approach each other, forming a closed space, reducing the contact between pure water and air, and preventing a reaction between the pure water and air. The pure water remaining in the inclined plate 12 flows downwards through the drain pipe 13. After the liquid level drops, the float cover 14 falls and closes, further preventing a reaction between the pure water and air. After the workpiece is placed, the cover plate 3 is closed, and then the air pump 10 is activated. The air pump 10 extracts the air from the inner tank 11 and discharges it into the treatment tank 9, where it reacts with the sodium hydroxide solution to remove carbon dioxide from the air. The air is then discharged back into the inner tank 11. After the gas treatment is completed, the inner chamber 11 is moved downwards. During the downward movement of the inner chamber 11, the inclined plate 12 is opened by the top plate 15, allowing pure water to enter the inner chamber 11 for immersion and cleaning of the workpiece. At the same time, the circulation pump 5 is started, which draws pure water from the cleaning tank 1 and sends it into the resin bed 6 through the distribution pipe 17. The pure water is treated by the exchange resin in the resin bed 6. As the water pressure in the resin bed 6 increases, the treated pure water returns to the cleaning tank 1 through the drain pipe 13, thus circulating the pure water and reducing waste. When the exchange resin needs to be replaced, the water in the resin bed 6 is drained, and then the threaded head 29 is rotated to disengage it from the drain pipe 8. The threaded head 29 then drives the spiral blade 31 to rotate, thereby discharging the exchange resin in the resin bed 6 for easy use.

[0048] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the electric actuator 4, the circulation pump 5, and the air pump 10 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
