[0026] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model proposes a nitrogen recycling device for an ultrapure water tank, comprising a base 1, the upper surface of the base 1 is fixedly connected to an ultrapure water tank 2, the two sides of the ultrapure water tank 2 are respectively connected to a water supply pipe 3 and a drainage pipe 4, a nitrogen tank 5 is placed on the upper surface of the base 1, a delivery pipe 6 is connected between the nitrogen tank 5 and the ultrapure water tank 2, a storage tank 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a gas delivery pipe 8 is connected between the storage tank 7 and the ultrapure water tank 2, an exhaust component 9 is provided in the storage tank 7, the exhaust component 9 is used to extract and recover the nitrogen in the ultrapure water tank 2, the nitrogen tank 5 fills the internal nitrogen into the ultrapure water tank 2 for nitrogen-sealed storage, the ultrapure water tank 2 is replenished and drained through the water supply pipe 3 and the drainage pipe 4 on both sides, and during continuous water replenishment, the nitrogen tank 5 is filled with nitrogen and discharged. During the drainage process, the liquid level in the ultrapure water tank 2 changes. Since the space where the nitrogen in the ultrapure water tank 2 is located changes, it is necessary to supplement or discharge nitrogen. During the first drainage, the space where the internal nitrogen is located becomes larger. At this time, the nitrogen tank 5 transports nitrogen into the ultrapure water tank 2 through the delivery pipe 6. However, when the ultrapure water tank 2 starts to be replenished, the space for accommodating nitrogen becomes smaller. At this time, the exhaust component 9 inside the preservation tank 7 draws excess nitrogen into the preservation tank 7 for storage, and there is no need to discharge it to the outside to cause waste. Later, when the ultrapure water tank 2 is drained again and nitrogen needs to be supplemented, the nitrogen in the preservation tank 7 is filled into the ultrapure water tank 2. When replenishing water, it is extracted back through the exhaust component 9, forming a recycling method, saving nitrogen and resources.

[0027] Specifically, solenoid valves 10 are installed on the gas pipe 8 and the delivery pipe 6, a filter box 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the storage tank 7, and an activated carbon filter element is filled in the filter box 11. The filter box 11 is connected to the gas pipe 8 and the storage tank 7. After the nitrogen tank 5 injects a maximum amount of nitrogen into the ultrapure water tank 2 at one time, the solenoid valve 10 on the delivery pipe 6 is closed. Before the nitrogen enters the storage tank 7, it first passes through the filter box 11 and the nitrogen is filtered to keep the nitrogen clean.

[0028] Specifically, the air extraction component 9 includes a sliding seat 91, which is located in the preservation tank 7 and is slidably connected to the preservation tank 7. A servo motor 92 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The main shaft of the servo motor 92 passes through the base 1 and the preservation tank 7 and is rotatably connected to the base 1 and the preservation tank 7. The main shaft of the servo motor 92 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 93, which passes through the sliding seat 91 and is threadedly connected to the sliding seat 91. When replenishing water, when the air extraction component 9 extracts nitrogen into the preservation tank 7, the servo motor 92 is turned on at this time, driving the threaded rod 93 to rotate, the threaded rod 93 controls the sliding seat 91 to slide down, the solenoid valve 10 is opened, and the nitrogen enters the preservation tank 7 through the gas pipe 8. When draining water, the servo motor 92 reverses, the threaded rod 93 controls the sliding seat 91 to slide up, the solenoid valve 10 is opened, and the nitrogen returns to the ultrapure water tank 2 to replenish the nitrogen, thereby forming a recycling use of nitrogen, which is more convenient.

[0029] Specifically, the side wall of the preservation tank 7 is connected to the transverse pipe 12, and a switch valve 13 is installed on the transverse pipe 12. After the nitrogen is circulated for a period of time, the sliding seat 91 descends, allowing the nitrogen in the ultrapure water tank 2 to enter the preservation tank 7, the solenoid valve 10 on the gas supply pipe 8 is closed, and the switch valve 13 on the transverse pipe 12 is opened to allow the nitrogen to rush out of the preservation tank 7, while the nitrogen tank 5 injects fresh nitrogen into the ultrapure water tank 2 to replace the nitrogen. When the nitrogen is discharged, the ultrapure water tank 2 is not connected to the outside world to avoid contaminating the ultrapure water tank 2.

[0030] Specifically, the outer side of the sliding seat 91 is fixedly connected to a rubber ring 14, which is elastic and contacts the inner wall of the preservation tank 7. The inner wall of the preservation tank 7 is fixedly connected to a limiting ring 15, and the lower surface of the limiting ring 15 is fixedly connected to a vertical rod 16. The vertical rod 16 penetrates the sliding seat 91 and is slidably connected to the sliding seat 91. The connection position between the transverse tube 12 and the preservation tank 7 is located above the limiting ring 15. The rubber ring 14 on the sliding seat 91 contacts the inner wall of the preservation tank 7 to reduce the gap and prevent nitrogen leakage. An air vent is provided at the lower outer side of the preservation tank 7. The limiting ring 15 limits the range of movement of the sliding seat 91, so that the transverse tube 12 is always above the sliding seat 91 to prevent the sliding seat 91 from blocking the transverse tube 12.

[0031] Specifically, a liquid level gauge 17 is installed on one side of the ultrapure water tank 2 , and the liquid level gauge 17 is convenient for checking the liquid level in the ultrapure water tank 2 from the outside.

[0032] Working principle: The nitrogen tank 5 fills the internal nitrogen into the ultrapure water tank 2 for nitrogen-sealed storage. The ultrapure water tank 2 is replenished and drained through the water replenishment pipe 3 and the drainage pipe 4 on both sides. During the continuous replenishment and drainage process, the liquid level in the ultrapure water tank 2 is changing. During the first drainage, the space where the internal nitrogen is located becomes larger. At this time, the nitrogen tank 5 transports nitrogen into the ultrapure water tank 2 through the delivery pipe 6. However, when the ultrapure water tank 2 starts to be replenished, the space for accommodating nitrogen becomes smaller, and the servo motor 92 is turned on, driving the threaded rod 93 to rotate, and the threaded rod 93 controls the sliding seat 91 to slide down. , the solenoid valve 10 is opened, and the nitrogen enters the storage tank 7 through the gas pipe 8. When draining, the servo motor 92 reverses, the threaded rod 93 controls the sliding seat 91 to slide up, the solenoid valve 10 is opened, and the nitrogen returns to the ultrapure water tank 2 to replenish the nitrogen. After the nitrogen is circulated for a period of time, the sliding seat 91 descends, allowing the nitrogen in the ultrapure water tank 2 to enter the storage tank 7, the solenoid valve 10 on the gas pipe 8 is closed, and the switch valve 13 on the horizontal pipe 12 is opened to allow the nitrogen to rush out of the storage tank 7, and the nitrogen tank 5 injects fresh nitrogen into the ultrapure water tank 2 to replace the nitrogen.
