Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vacuum leak detection, in particular to a standard leak hole and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Vacuum leak detection technology is a technology for judging whether a vacuum system, a container or a device leaks, determining the position and size of a leak. Common leak detection methods include pressure change leak detection, bubble leak detection, mass spectrometric leak detection and the like. Among them, the mass spectrometric leak detection method has become one of the most widely used leak detection methods due to its high sensitivity and other advantages. The mass spectrometric leak detection method uses a mass spectrometer to convert the flow rate of tracer gas leaked through a standard leak hole into an ion current of the mass spectrometer, and detects the leak rate by measuring the size of the ion current signal.

[0003] A standard leak hole is a device with a constant leak rate under specified conditions. It is generally divided into a channel type standard leak hole and a permeation type standard leak hole. The permeation type leak hole is a leak generated by the permeation of tracer gas, and the channel type leak hole is a leak generated by a channel that can restrict the flow of tracer gas. Since the lower limit of the leak rate of the permeation type standard leak hole is significantly lower than that of the channel type standard leak hole, mass spectrometers mostly use the permeation type standard leak hole. With the continuous improvement of leak detection technology, it is necessary to continuously reduce the leak rate of the standard leak hole. Measures such as using a permeation material with a smaller permeation rate, increasing the thickness of the film, and reducing the permeation area of the film can be taken. If the leak rate is to be reduced by several orders of magnitude on the basis of the existing leak rate, the lower limit of the leak rate of the current standard leak hole has reached the limit.

[0004] Therefore, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The technical solutions of the application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the application.

[0042] On the one hand, this application provides a standard leak 100, which can be applied to a mass spectrometer. For the specific structure of the standard leak 100, please refer to... Figures 1 to 6 It includes a leak body 130, which has a first gas barrier layer 131, a permeable layer 132 and a second gas barrier layer 133 arranged from top to bottom. The first gas barrier layer 131 is attached to the upper surface of the permeable layer 132 and has an air inlet 1311 communicating with the permeable layer 132. The second gas barrier layer 133 is attached to the lower surface of the permeable layer 132 so that the permeable layer 132 is sandwiched between the first gas barrier layer 131 and the second gas barrier layer 133, allowing the leaking gas to flow laterally in the permeable layer 132.

[0043] According to the standard leak 100 of this application, by providing a first gas barrier layer 131 and a second gas barrier layer 133 on the upper and lower sides of the permeation layer 132, the transverse flow of the leak indicator gas in the permeation layer 132 can be controlled. Compared with the longitudinal flow of the leak indicator gas in the permeation layer 132, it is more conducive to adjusting the thickness of the permeation layer 132 from the millimeter level to the nanometer level, thereby significantly reducing the lower limit of the leakage rate of the standard leak 100.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the standard leak 100 also includes an upper flange 110 and a lower flange 120. The upper flange 110 and the lower flange 120 enclose a receiving cavity 104 for accommodating the leak body 130. The bottom of the lower flange 120 is provided with an exhaust channel 122 communicating with the receiving cavity 104. A first gap 101 is formed between the outer periphery of the permeable layer 132 and the upper flange 110, and a second gap 102 is formed between the second gas-blocking layer 133 and the lower flange 120. The standard leak 100 is constructed such that... The leak-indicating gas flows into the permeation layer 132 through the inlet 1311. A portion of the leak-indicating gas passing through the permeation layer 132 passes through the first gap 101 and the second gap 102 in sequence, and finally flows out from the exhaust channel 122. By controlling the leak-indicating gas to turn multiple times in the permeation layer 132, the first gap 101, the second gap 102 and the exhaust channel 122, not only can the leak-indicating gas flow laterally in the permeation layer 132, but the leak-indicating gas can also be controlled to finally flow out from the exhaust channel 122.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the standard leak hole 100 further comprises a cover 140, which is arranged in abutment with the first gas barrier layer 131 through the upper flange 110, and the cover 140 is provided with an air inlet channel 141 which is in communication with the air inlet 1311, so that the tracer gas flows into the leak hole body 130 from the air inlet channel 141 of the cover 140, and then sequentially passes through the first gap 101 and the second gap 102, and finally flows out from the exhaust channel 122.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the third gap is formed between the cover 140 and the first gas barrier layer 131, and the fourth gap 103 is formed between the cover 140 and the upper flange 110, which is in communication with the third gap, wherein the standard leak hole 100 is configured such that the tracer gas flows into the air inlet channel 141, a part of the tracer gas passes through the air inlet channel 141 and flows into the permeation layer 132 through the air inlet 1311, and a part of the tracer gas passes through the air inlet channel 141 and sequentially passes through the third gap and the fourth gap 103, and finally is discharged to the outside, thereby further adjusting the lower limit of the leak rate of the standard leak hole 100.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the first gas barrier layer 131 is arranged in abutment below the upper flange 110, the third gap is formed between the cover 140 and the first gas barrier layer 131, and the fifth gap is formed between the upper flange 110 and the first gas barrier layer 131, which is in communication with the third gap and the first gap 101 respectively, wherein the standard leak hole 100 is configured such that the tracer gas flows into the air inlet channel 141, a part of the tracer gas passes through the air inlet channel 141 and flows into the permeation layer 132 through the air inlet 1311, and a part of the tracer gas passes through the air inlet channel 141 and sequentially passes through the third gap, the fifth gap, the first gap 101 and the second gap 102, and finally flows out from the exhaust channel 122, the tracer gas is turned multiple times in the leak hole body 130, the first gap 101 and the second gap 102, and the third gap, the fifth gap, the first gap 101 and the second gap 102, and finally flows into the exhaust channel 122, by adjusting the gas flow and flow direction of the tracer gas, the leak rate of the standard leak hole 100 can be significantly reduced, thereby obtaining a standard leak hole 100 with extremely small leak rate.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the upper flange 110 is sealed and attached to the first gas barrier layer 131 through the first seal 150, the upper flange 110 is sealed and attached to the lower flange 120 through the second seal 160, and the cover 140 is sealed and attached to the first gas barrier layer 131 through the third seal 170, so that part of the leakage gas passes through the gas inlet channel 141 and sequentially passes through the third gap, the fourth gap 103, and finally is discharged to the outside, and part of the leakage gas passes through the gas inlet channel 141 and sequentially passes through the third gap, the fifth gap, the first gap 101, the second gap 102, and finally flows out from the gas outlet channel 122.

[0049] As an optional embodiment, the first seal 150, the second seal 160, and the third seal 170 can be sealing rings. The sealing ring has a simple design, is convenient to use and maintain, has excellent sealing performance, and can automatically improve the sealing effect under different pressures.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the upper flange 110 and the lower flange 120 are respectively provided with first connecting holes 123 for the first fastener 180 to pass through, so that the upper flange 110 and the lower flange 120 are fixedly connected through the first fastener 180. Exemplarily, the first fastener 180 can be a threaded fastener, which includes a first bolt 181 and a first nut 182. The first bolt 181 sequentially passes through the first connecting holes 123 provided in the upper flange 110 and the lower flange 120, and then the first nut 182 is sleeved on the threaded portion of the first bolt 181 and is tightened, so that the upper flange 110 and the lower flange 120 are fixedly connected.

[0051] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the cover 140 and the upper flange 110 are respectively provided with second connecting holes for the second fastener 190 to pass through, so that the cover 140 and the upper flange 110 are fixedly connected through the second fastener 190. Exemplarily, the first fastener 180 can be a threaded fastener, which sequentially passes through the second connecting holes provided in the cover 140 and the upper flange 110 to tightly fix the cover 140 and the upper flange 110.

[0052] As an optional embodiment, the permeation layer 132 is made of a material that has a small amount of permeation to the leakage gas. The material of the permeation layer 132 can be a non-metallic crystal material, such as quartz. The material of the permeation layer 132 can also be a high polymer material, such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). The material of the permeation layer 132 can also be a two-dimensional material, such as graphene, graphene oxide, etc.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, the material of the first gas barrier layer 131 and / or the second gas barrier layer 133 is a metal material, such as gold, platinum, aluminum, and the like. The first gas barrier layer 131 and / or the second gas barrier layer 133 are tightly combined with the permeation layer 132 by plating, such as vacuum plating, to form a metal film on the surface of the permeation film. The gas inlet 1311 on the first gas barrier layer 131 is a channel for allowing the leaked gas to enter the permeation layer 132, which can be obtained by using a mask during the plating process of the first gas barrier layer 131.

[0054] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the lower flange 120 has a boss 121 for supporting the bottom of the second gas barrier layer 133, and the boss 121 is provided with a gas flow groove 1211 extending in the length direction and / or the width direction of the permeation layer 132, which is in communication with the exhaust channel 122. The gas flow groove 1211 is in communication with the exhaust channel 122, and the gas flows transversely in the permeation layer 132, flows out from both sides of the permeation layer 132 along the length direction, enters the first gap 101 and the second gap 102 in turn, and then enters the gas flow groove 1211 of the lower flange 120, and finally flows out from the exhaust channel 122.

[0055] The leak hole body 130 can be spherical, sheet-shaped, long-cylindrical, and the like. As an optional embodiment, the cross section of the permeation layer 132 is rectangular, i.e., the permeation layer 132 is sheet-shaped, and the leak rate of the standard leak hole 100 can be represented by the following formula:

[0056]

[0057] In the above formula, Q is the leak rate of the standard leak hole 100, Pa·m 3 / s;

[0058] K is the permeation coefficient of the permeation layer 132, Pa·m 3 / (s·cm 2 ·Pa·mm -1 );

[0059] A is the permeation area of the permeation layer 132, cm 2 ;

[0060] D is the thickness of the permeation layer 132, mm;

[0061] W is the width of the permeation layer 132, cm;

[0062] L is the length of the permeation layer 132, cm;

[0063] H is the height of the permeation layer 132, mm;

[0064] p is the permeation gas pressure difference between the upstream and downstream, Pa.

[0065] In the case of the material permeation coefficient K and the upstream and downstream pressure difference p remaining unchanged, the leakage rate Q of the standard leak hole 100 is proportional to the area A of the permeation layer 132 and inversely proportional to the thickness D of the permeation layer 132, and the leak gas flows laterally in the permeation layer 132, the area A of the permeation layer 132 is the product of the width W of the permeation layer 132 and the length L of the permeation layer 132, and the thickness D of the permeation layer 132 is equal to the height H of the permeation layer 132. With the development of thin film technology, the thickness of the film can be reduced from millimeter level to nanometer level, and the lateral flow of the leak gas in the permeation layer 132 can greatly reduce the lower limit of the standard leak hole 100.

[0066] On the other hand, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, the application also provides a preparation method of the standard leak hole 100, comprising the following steps:

[0067] Step S1: coating the first gas barrier layer 131 on the upper surface of the permeation layer 132, and forming the gas inlet 1311 with a predetermined size on the first gas barrier layer 131 by mask method;

[0068] Step S2: coating the second gas barrier layer 133 on the lower surface of the permeation layer 132, so that the first gas barrier layer 131, the permeation layer 132 and the second gas barrier layer 133 form the leak hole body 130;

[0069] Step S3: setting the leak hole body 130 on the lower flange 120, and pressing the upper flange 110 on the leak hole body 130, and setting the first sealing member 150 between the upper flange 110 and the first gas barrier layer 131, and setting the second sealing member 160 between the upper flange 110 and the lower flange 120, and setting the third sealing member 170 between the gland 140 and the first gas barrier layer 131;

[0070] Step S4: the first fastener 180 passes through the first connecting hole 123 on the upper flange 110 and the lower flange 120 in sequence, so as to fixedly connect the upper flange 110 and the lower flange 120;

[0071] Step S5: the second fastener 190 passes through the second connecting hole on the gland 140 and the upper flange 110 in sequence, so as to fixedly connect the gland 140 and the upper flange 110.

[0072] According to the preparation method of the standard leak hole 100 of the application, the standard leak hole 100 has the characteristics of small thickness, large area and lateral flow of leak gas, compared with the standard leak hole 100 with longitudinal flow of leak gas, under the condition of unchanged permeation material and structure, by changing the flow direction of leak gas, the leakage rate of the standard leak hole 100 can be significantly reduced, and the purpose of reducing the lower limit of the permeation type standard leak hole 100 is achieved.
