DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following is a further detailed description of the implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a high vacuum transfer valve for semiconductor CVD equipment includes a valve body 1 and a connecting component 4. A side connecting port 2 is provided on the right surface of the upper end of the valve body 1, and a lower connecting port 3 is provided at the bottom of the valve body 1. The connecting component 4 is provided on the surface of the side connecting port 2, and the connecting component 4 includes a threaded mounting groove 401, a threaded mounting ring 402, a connecting pipe 403, a sealing clamping pipe 404, a cross-opening dustproof film 405, a reinforcement ring 406 and a reinforcement bolt 407. The threaded mounting groove 401 is opened on the right surface of the side connecting port 2 and the lower surface of the lower connecting port 3, and the threaded mounting ring 402 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded mounting groove 401, and a connecting pipe 403 is installed on the outer end of the threaded mounting ring 402, and a sealing clamping pipe 404 is provided on the inner end surface of the connecting pipe 403, and the sealing clamping pipe 404 is clamped and connected with the inner side of the side connecting port 2 and the inner side of the lower connecting port 3.

[0024] The specific operation is as follows. When in use, the connecting pipe 403 is connected to the side connecting port 2 and the lower connecting port 3 of the valve body 1 through the threaded connection between the threaded mounting ring 402 and the threaded mounting groove 401. At the same time, the sealing clamping pipe 404 passes through the cross-opening dust-proof film 405 and is engaged with the inner side of the side connecting port 2 and the lower connecting port 3. The reinforcing ring 406 is then fixed to the surface of the side connecting port 2 and the lower connecting port 3 through the reinforcing bolt 407 to further strengthen the connection.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 A cross-opening dust-proof film 405 is provided on the inner side of the outer end of the side connection port 2 and the lower connection port 3, and a reinforcement ring 406 is provided on the outer surface of the side connection port 2 and the lower connection port 3. The reinforcement ring 406 is a hard steel structure, and a reinforcement bolt 407 is provided on the surface of the reinforcement ring 406. A pneumatic telescopic rod 6 is installed on the top of the valve body 1, and the bottom of the pneumatic telescopic rod 6 is connected to the upper surface of the main connecting rod 501;

[0026] The specific operation is as follows: when in use, the cross-opening dustproof membrane 405 has a dust-proof effect and has great elasticity. After the connecting tube 403 is disassembled, the cross-opening dustproof membrane 405 can rebound and reset, and the pneumatic telescopic rod 6 is started to drive the main connecting rod 501 to rise and fall, and then drive the sealing baffle 507 to rise and fall through the secondary connecting rod 505, thereby realizing the function of controlling gas flow and pressure.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 4The valve body 1 is an integrally formed steel structure, and a pressure relief assembly 5 for automatic pressure relief is arranged inside the valve body 1, and the pressure relief assembly 5 includes a main connecting rod 501, an active cavity 502, a fixed baffle ring 503, a high-pressure spring 504, a secondary connecting rod 505, a movable baffle ring 506, a sealing baffle plate 507 and an elastic sealing ring 508, and the main connecting rod 501 is slidably connected to the inner side of the upper end of the valve body 1, and an active cavity 502 is opened at the lower end of the main connecting rod 501, and a fixed baffle ring 503 is installed at the lower end of the inner side of the active cavity 502, a high-pressure spring 504 is arranged on the upper surface of the inner side of the active cavity 502, and a secondary connecting rod 505 is installed at the bottom of the high-pressure spring 504, and a movable baffle ring 506 is arranged on the upper end surface of the secondary connecting rod 505, a sealing baffle plate 507 is installed at the bottom of the secondary connecting rod 505, and an elastic sealing ring 508 is connected to the outer surface of the sealing baffle plate 507;

[0028] The specific operation is as follows. During use, when the pressure in the connected pipe is too high, the air pressure will compress the sealing baffle 507 to lift up. At this time, it will drive the secondary connecting rod 505 to move upward along the inner side of the movable cavity 502, causing the high-pressure spring 504 to shrink under pressure, so that the pressure can be released from the lower connecting port 3 to the side connecting port 2. After the pressure is restored, the high-pressure spring 504 rebounds, driving the secondary connecting rod 505 to reset downward along the inner side of the movable cavity 502, thereby driving the sealing baffle 507 to reset and seal the inner side of the lower connecting port 3. The elastic sealing ring 508 can improve the sealing performance. When the pneumatic telescopic rod 6 drives the main connecting rod 501 to rise, when the movable baffle ring 506 resists the fixed baffle ring 503, it can drive the secondary connecting rod 505 to continue to rise, thereby driving the sealing baffle 507 to rise and release pressure.

[0029] In summary, if Figures 1 to 4As shown, the high vacuum transfer valve for semiconductor CVD equipment is used. First, the connecting pipe 403 is connected to the side connecting port 2 and the lower connecting port 3 of the valve body 1 through the threaded connection of the threaded mounting ring 402 and the threaded mounting groove 401. At the same time, the sealing clamping pipe 404 passes through the cross-opening dustproof film 405 and is engaged with the inner side of the side connecting port 2 and the lower connecting port 3. Then, the reinforcing ring 406 is fixed to the surface of the side connecting port 2 and the lower connecting port 3 through the reinforcing bolt 407 to further strengthen the connection. The cross-opening dustproof film 405 has a dustproof effect and has a large elasticity. After the connecting pipe 403 is disassembled, the cross-opening dustproof film 405 can rebound and reset. When the pressure in the connected pipeline is too large, the air pressure will compress the sealing baffle. When the spring 507 is lifted, the secondary connecting rod 505 will be driven to move upward along the inner side of the movable cavity 502, so that the high-pressure spring 504 will be compressed and contracted, so that the pressure can be released from the lower connecting port 3 to the side connecting port 2. After the pressure is restored, the high-pressure spring 504 rebounds, driving the secondary connecting rod 505 to return downward along the inner side of the movable cavity 502, thereby driving the sealing baffle 507 to return to its original position, and sealing the inner side of the lower connecting port 3. The elastic sealing ring 508 can improve the sealing performance, and the pneumatic telescopic rod 6 is started. When the pneumatic telescopic rod 6 drives the main connecting rod 501 to rise, when the movable baffle ring 506 resists the fixed baffle ring 503, it can drive the secondary connecting rod 505 to continue to rise, thereby driving the sealing baffle 507 to rise and release the pressure, thereby achieving the function of controlling the gas flow and pressure.
