[0002] During the working process of a semiconductor device, various valves are needed to control the opening and closing of liquid conveying pipelines, so as to realize liquid conveying and mixed liquid functions. The more valves there are, the more complex the pipelines are, and the more space they occupy. For this reason, a combination valve with a single main inlet and multiple outlets is used in the related art to make the pipeline as simple as possible. However, for some installation limited scenarios, multiple outlets cannot maintain the same flow path distance from the main inlet, which leads to different mixed liquid effects due to the difference in the flow path of the mixed liquid in the valve cavity during the mixing process.

Specific embodiments

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] As used herein, the phrases “in one embodiment,” “according to one embodiment,” “in some embodiments,” etc., generally refer to the fact that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic following the phrase can be included in at least one embodiment of this disclosure. Therefore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic can be included in more than one embodiment of this disclosure, such that these phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0024] Semiconductor equipment requires various valves to control the opening and closing of fluid delivery lines during operation, enabling functions such as liquid transport and mixing. The more valves there are, the more complex the piping becomes, and the larger the space required. To address this, related technologies employ combination valves with a single main inlet and multiple outlets to simplify the piping as much as possible. However, in some installation-constrained scenarios, multiple outlets cannot maintain the same flow path distance from the main inlet. This leads to differences in the flow paths of the mixed liquids within the valve chambers during mixing, resulting in inconsistent mixing effects.

[0025] Furthermore, if a slot is created in the valve core mechanism to increase the length of the shorter flow path, if only the slot is added, liquid will remain in the valve core mechanism when the installation angle of the multi-outlet mixing valve changes.

[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0027] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, at least one disclosed embodiment provides a multi-outlet mixing valve, comprising: a valve seat 1, wherein an inlet channel 111 is provided in the valve seat 1, the inlet channel 111 communicating with an inlet chamber 112 provided in the valve seat 1; a first outlet channel 121 and a second outlet channel 131 are provided in the valve seat 1, the first outlet channel 121 communicating with the top of the inlet chamber 112, the second outlet channel 131 communicating with the bottom of the inlet chamber 112, and the first outlet channel 121 being longer than the second outlet channel 131; a valve core mechanism 2 is provided in the inlet chamber 112, the valve core mechanism... 2 is adapted to block the second liquid outlet channel 131 from the liquid inlet channel 111 when the first liquid outlet channel 121, the liquid inlet chamber 112, and the liquid inlet channel 111 are connected, and to block the first liquid outlet channel 121 from the liquid inlet channel 111 when the second liquid outlet channel 131, the liquid inlet chamber 112, and the liquid inlet channel 111 are connected; the valve core mechanism 2 increases the length of the liquid flow path when the second liquid outlet channel 131, the liquid inlet chamber 112, and the liquid inlet channel 111 are connected, thereby reducing the length difference between the two liquid flow paths during the mixing process and ensuring the same mixing effect.

[0029] In this embodiment, the inlet 11 can introduce one liquid into the valve, and the outlet 17 can introduce another liquid into the valve. The two liquids can mix during the flow process in the valve and then flow out from the first outlet 12 or the second outlet 13. After each mixing of liquids, only one outlet will flow out, while the other outlet will be closed.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the mixed liquid flows out from the first outlet 12, the liquid flows through the inlet channel 111, the inlet chamber 112, and the first outlet channel 121. When the mixed liquid flows out from the second outlet 13, the liquid flows through the inlet channel 111, the inlet chamber 112, the strip groove 24, and the second outlet channel 131. When the liquid flows out from the second outlet 13, the length of the liquid flow path is increased by the strip groove 24 to ensure the mixing effect when the liquid flows out from the second outlet 13.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in an optional embodiment, the valve core mechanism 2 includes: a base 21; the base 21 is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the liquid inlet chamber 112, and a through hole 22 is vertically formed in the base 21; a piston block 23 passes through the through hole 22, and a plurality of strip grooves 24 are vertically formed on the side wall of the piston block 23, and an outlet hole 25 corresponding to the strip grooves 24 is formed at the bottom of the piston block 23, and the outlet hole 25 communicates with the corresponding strip groove 24; the second liquid outlet channel 131 The connection point with the liquid inlet chamber 112 is located below the outlet hole 25; a ring body 26 is provided on the top of the piston block 23; a support ring 14 is provided inside the liquid inlet chamber 112, and the support ring 14 is located above the piston block 23; when the ring body 26 contacts the bottom surface of the support ring 14, part of the strip groove 24 extends from the top surface of the base 21, and the liquid in the liquid inlet channel 111 flows through the strip groove 24 and then flows into the second liquid outlet channel 131 from the outlet hole 25, thereby increasing the length of the liquid flow path through the strip groove 24.

[0032] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the piston block 23 contacts the inner wall of the through hole 22 to prevent liquid from flowing through the gap between the piston block 23 and the through hole 22.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the bottom surface of the ring 26 contacts the top surface of the base 21, the strip groove 24 is completely blocked by the base 21. At this time, the second liquid outlet channel 131 is blocked, the second liquid outlet 13 is closed, and the liquid can only flow out through the first liquid outlet 12. When the piston block 23 moves upward so that the top surface of the ring 26 contacts the support ring 14, the circular hole in the center of the support ring 14 is blocked. At this time, the first liquid outlet 12 is blocked and closed, and part of the strip groove 24 extends out from the top surface of the through hole 22, that is, from the top surface of the base 21. The liquid can flow out from the outlet hole 25 after passing through the strip groove 24. The liquid flows into the second liquid outlet channel 131 and flows out from the second liquid outlet 13. The strip groove 24 increases the path length of the liquid when it flows out from the second liquid outlet 13, ensuring the mixing effect of the liquid.

[0034] In one alternative embodiment, when the bottom surface of the ring 26 contacts the top surface of the base 21, the second liquid outlet channel 131 and the liquid inlet channel 111 are blocked. At this time, the support ring 14 is opened, and the first liquid outlet channel 121, the liquid inlet chamber 112, and the liquid inlet channel 111 are connected. When the top surface of the ring 26 contacts the support ring 14, the support ring 14 is closed, the first liquid outlet channel 121 and the liquid inlet channel 111 are blocked, a portion of the strip groove 24 extends from the top surface of the base 21, and the second liquid outlet channel 131, the liquid inlet chamber 112, and the liquid inlet channel 111 are connected.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one optional embodiment, a push plate 27 adapted to the opening size of the strip groove 24 is provided inside the strip groove 24. The push plate 27 is connected to the inner wall of the strip groove 24 by a plurality of first springs 28. When a part of the strip groove 24 extends out from the top surface of the base 21, the flowing liquid pushes the push plate 27 to retract into the strip groove 24, so that the outlet hole 25 is exposed. After the liquid passes through the strip groove 24 and the outlet hole 25, it enters the second liquid outlet channel 131. After the strip groove 24 is completely retracted into the base 21, the push plate 27 resets and pushes the liquid out of the strip groove 24.

[0036] In this embodiment, the thickness of the push plate 27 is less than the thickness of the strip groove 24. Initially, the bottom surface of the ring 26 is in contact with the top surface of the base 21, the strip groove 24 is completely covered by the base 21, the push plate 27 is located at the open position of the strip groove 24, and one side of the push plate 27 is aligned with the outer wall of the piston block 23. When the piston block 23 moves upward, the top surface of the ring 26 contacts the bottom surface of the support ring 14. At this time, the push plate 27 moves upward to extend from the top surface of the base 21, and the liquid in the liquid inlet channel 111 flows into the liquid inlet chamber 112. The push plate 27 is squeezed, causing it to retract and move into the strip groove 24, exposing the outlet hole 25. The liquid can then flow out through the outlet hole 25 after passing through the strip groove 24. The liquid flows into the second liquid outlet channel 131 and out through the second liquid outlet 13. When the piston block 23 moves downward so that the bottom surface of the ring body 26 contacts the top surface of the base 21, the liquid can no longer squeeze the push plate 27. At this time, the first spring 28 drives the push plate 27 to reset, pushing out all the liquid in the strip groove 24 to prevent liquid from remaining in the strip groove 24.

[0037] In this embodiment, under normal installation conditions, the piston block 23 of the multi-outlet mixing valve is in a vertical position. If the piston block 23 is in a horizontal position after the multi-outlet mixing valve is installed, when the second outlet 13 is opened and then closed, the liquid in the strip groove 24 can be pushed out by the push plate 27 to avoid liquid residue in the strip groove 24.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the valve seat 1 is provided with an opening and closing mechanism 3, which is connected to the piston block 23. The opening and closing mechanism 3 is adapted to drive the piston block 23 to move up and down. The opening and closing mechanism 3 includes: a valve stem 31; the bottom end of the valve stem 31 is connected to the top end of the piston block 23; a diaphragm 32 is provided on the valve stem 31, which covers the open position at the top of the liquid inlet chamber 112; the valve stem 31 passes through the valve seat 1, and the valve stem 31 is connected to the inner top surface of the valve seat 1 by a second spring 34; a partition ring 33 is sleeved on the valve stem 31, and the partition ring 33 contacts the inner wall of the valve seat 1 so that an upper chamber 15 is formed above the partition ring 33 and a lower chamber 16 is formed below the partition ring 33.

[0039] In this embodiment, the top end of the valve stem 31 may have a groove for accommodating a portion of the second spring 34. The groove is connected to the upper chamber 15 to increase the volume of the upper chamber 15.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the valve stem 31 passes through the support ring 14 and connects to the piston block 23, there is a gap between the valve stem 31 and the inner wall of the central circular hole of the support ring 14, which facilitates the flow of liquid.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in one optional embodiment, an air port 35 is provided on the side wall of the valve seat 1, and the air port 35 is connected to the lower chamber 16.

[0042] In this embodiment, gas is introduced into the lower chamber 16 through the gas port 35 connected to the gas source, which increases the gas pressure in the lower chamber 16, causing the partition ring 33 to move upward and driving the piston block 23 to move upward.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in one optional embodiment, a pair of flow dividers 171 are provided in the valve seat 1, and the flow dividers 171 are both connected to the liquid inlet flow channel 111; the side wall of the valve seat 1 is provided with a branch inlet 17 corresponding to the flow dividers 171.

[0044] In this embodiment, the liquid to be mixed can be introduced into the liquid inlet channel 111 through the diversion channel 171.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in one optional embodiment, the valve seat 1 has an inlet 11 corresponding to the inlet channel 111 on its side wall; the valve seat 1 has a first outlet 12 corresponding to the first outlet channel 121 and a second outlet 13 corresponding to the second outlet channel 131 on its side wall.

[0046] In one optional embodiment, a check valve 4 is provided inside the first outlet 12.

[0047] In this embodiment, the check valve 4 can prevent liquid from flowing from the first outlet 12 into the first outlet channel 121.

[0048] At least one other disclosed embodiment also provides a method of operating the multi-outlet mixing valve described above, comprising: blocking the second outlet channel 131 from the inlet channel 111 when the first outlet channel 121, the inlet chamber 112, and the inlet channel 111 are connected by the valve core mechanism 2; and blocking the first outlet channel 121 from the inlet channel 111 when the second outlet channel 131, the inlet chamber 112, and the inlet channel 111 are connected by the valve core mechanism 2; and increasing the length of the liquid flow path when the second outlet channel 131, the inlet chamber 112, and the inlet channel 111 are connected by the valve core mechanism 2.

[0049] In summary, this multi-outlet mixing valve, through the valve core mechanism 2, blocks the second outlet channel 131 from the inlet channel 111 when the first outlet channel 121, inlet chamber 112, and inlet channel 111 are connected, and also blocks the first outlet channel 121 from the inlet channel 111 when the second outlet channel 131, inlet chamber 112, and inlet channel 111 are connected. By increasing the length of the liquid flow path when the second outlet channel 131, inlet chamber 112, and inlet channel 111 are connected, the valve core mechanism 2 reduces the length difference between the two liquid flow paths during the mixing process, ensuring the same mixing effect.
