[0002] A display is a display tool that displays certain electronic files on the screen through a specific transmission device and then reflects them to the human eye. Semiconductors are an important component of displays. Semiconductor and display production equipment require isolation swing valves. Semiconductor manufacturing equipment usually has chambers corresponding to each process. After the wafer completes the relevant process, it needs to be transferred to the next process. In this way, the wafer needs to be transmitted in multiple chambers, requiring isolation swing valves that connect two adjacent chambers.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing plate is in a circular structure, and the outer ring of the sealing plate is provided with sealing rubber, and the size of the sealing plate is consistent with the size of the pipelines on both sides of the intermediate pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing connection assembly includes a snap-fit ​​convex tube, a groove and an internal tube. A snap-fit ​​convex tube is fixed to the outside of one end of the chamber tube, and grooves are evenly distributed on the inner side of the snap-fit ​​convex tube. An internal tube is fixed to the inner side of the intermediate tube near one end of the chamber tube, and the cross-sections of the internal tube and the snap-fit ​​convex tube are both "L"-shaped structures.

[0023] The specific operation is as follows: the controller 2 is used to control the motor 3, and the motor 3 is convenient for driving the valve plate 6 to swing in the internal chamber of the valve housing 1 to control the opening and closing of the valve tube 4. The two ends of the valve tube 4 are connected to the intermediate tube 8 through the connecting flange 7, and are connected to the chamber tube 10 of the processing chamber of the production equipment through the intermediate tube 8 to realize isolation control between the processing chambers. This connection method is convenient for replacing damaged intermediate tubes 8 and emergency plugging components 9.

[0024] like Figure 3As shown, an emergency plugging assembly 9 is installed inside the middle pipe 8, and the emergency plugging assembly 9 includes a connecting rod 901, a middle block 902, a telescopic rod 903 and a sealing plate 904. The middle block 902 is fixed to the inner side of the middle part of the middle pipe 8 through the connecting rod 901, and the front and rear sides of the middle block 902 are connected to the sealing plates 904 through the telescopic rod 903. The inner diameter of the middle pipe of the middle pipe 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the pipes on both sides, and the center line of the middle pipe 8 coincides with the center lines of the middle block 902 and the sealing plate 904; the sealing plate 904 is a circular structure, and the outer ring of the sealing plate 904 is provided with a sealing rubber, and the size of the sealing plate 904 is consistent with the size of the pipes on both sides of the middle pipe 8;

[0025] The specific operation is as follows: the inner diameter of the middle pipe of the intermediate pipe 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the pipes on both sides. Therefore, the two telescopic rods 903 are used to facilitate the movement of the front and rear sealing plates 904, so that when the valve housing 1 is leaking, the two sealing plates 904 can perform emergency sealing on the inside of the pipes on both sides of the intermediate pipe 8 to avoid material loss or impurity intrusion. On the contrary, the two sealing plates 904 shrink and return to the inside of the middle pipe of the intermediate pipe 8, without affecting the overall flow of the intermediate pipe 8.

[0026] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, a sealing connection assembly 11 is provided at the connection between the intermediate tube 8 and the chamber tube 10; the sealing connection assembly 11 includes a clamping convex tube 1101, a groove 1102 and an inner tube 1103, the clamping convex tube 1101 is fixed to the outside of one end of the chamber tube 10, and the grooves 1102 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the clamping convex tube 1101, and the inner tube 1103 is fixed to the inner side of the intermediate tube 8 near one end of the chamber tube 10, and the cross-sections of the inner tube 1103 and the clamping convex tube 1101 are uniform.

[0028] In summary, if Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the isolation swing valve for semiconductor and display production equipment, when in use, the intermediate tube 8 is connected to the two ends of the valve tube 4 through the connecting flange 7, and the chamber tube 10 of the semiconductor and display production equipment processing chamber is connected through the intermediate tube 8, so as to realize the isolation control between the processing chambers.

[0029] During use, the controller 2 is used to control the motor 3, and the motor 3 can drive the valve plate 6 to swing in the internal chamber of the valve housing 1, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the valve tube 4, so as to facilitate the transmission of wafers between the processing chambers. If the seal of the valve housing 1 fails and causes leakage, the two front and rear sealing plates 904 can be driven to move by the two telescopic rods 903, so that the two sealing plates 904 can perform emergency sealing on the middle tube 8 inside the pipes on both sides of the middle tube 8 to avoid material loss or impurity intrusion. On the contrary, the two sealing plates 904 shrink and return to the middle pipe of the middle tube 8, without affecting the overall circulation of the middle tube 8.
