[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a He molecule stripping device in liquid source gas based on MFC flow control, which can strip the He molecules in the liquid source gas, thereby reducing the burden of MFC without affecting the supply of liquid source and preventing liquid source leakage.

[0029] The utility model provides Figure 1-5 A He molecule stripping device with a sealing structure is shown;

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] A He molecule stripping device with a sealing structure comprises a sealed container 1 and a gas-liquid separator connected to the sealed container 1, a monitoring module 2 is fixedly installed in the sealed container 1, the monitoring module 2 is connected to a support tube 3, the support tube 3 extends into the sealed container 1, a float 4 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the support tube 3, a detection waveguide rod electrically connected to the monitoring module 2 is arranged in the support tube 3, and the detection waveguide rod and the float 4 form a magnetostrictive sensor.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sealed container 1 is filled with a raw liquid MO source. Since the MO source product requires extremely high purity, and most MO source compounds are extremely sensitive to oxygen and water vapor, they can spontaneously combust when in contact with air, explode when in contact with water, and are highly toxic, corrosive, flammable, and toxic. In the process of production, it is necessary to effectively detect the liquid level inside the sealed container 1. The detection waveguide rod in the magnetostrictive sensor has the characteristic of not needing to contact the liquid, and cooperates with the float 4 to detect the liquid level.

[0033] It should be noted that the float 4 is made of stainless steel, preferably 316L stainless steel, which is chemically treated to achieve corrosion resistance, and can be immersed in corrosive liquids. Specifically, the density of trichlorosilane liquid is 1.342g / cm3, and the float 4 can float up and down in liquids greater than 0.7g / cm3.

[0034] In this embodiment, a sealing component is provided. The sealing component is arranged at the top of the sealed container 1 at the installation position of the monitoring module 2. The sealing component is used to further seal the sealed container 1 to prevent leakage of hazardous chemicals inside the sealed container 1.

[0035] Specifically, the sealing assembly includes two sets of locking plates 5, each of which is provided with a slot 14 matching the monitoring module 2, and the locking plates 5 are slidably mounted on the upper surface of the sealed container 1. In this embodiment, the slidably mounted locking plates 5 can be used to perform sealing and pressing at the installation position of the monitoring module 2 after the monitoring module 2 and the sealed container 1 are installed.

[0036] The locking plate 5 is symmetrically provided with connecting blocks 8 on both sides, and a guide rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 8. A guide plate 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sealed container 1, and the guide rod 10 is slidably connected in the guide plate 11. A spring 9 is provided between the connecting block 8 and the guide plate 11, and the spring 9 is sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 10. The upper surface of the sealed container 1 is symmetrically provided with limit blocks 6, and a positioning hole 7 is provided in the limit blocks 6. A spring plunger 12 is symmetrically installed on one side of the locking plate 5, and the spring plunger 12 is matched with the positioning hole 7. A pull groove 13 is provided in the locking plate 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the rapid opening and closing of the locking plate 5 and improve the disassembly and sealing connection efficiency of the monitoring module 2, an elastic connection structure is provided on the locking plate 5 and the upper surface of the sealed container 1. The two groups of locking plates 5 are pulled apart through the internally arranged pulling groove 13. Due to the guiding effect of the guide rod 10, the locking plate 5 slides along the upper surface of the sealed container 1 until the spring plunger 12 is inserted into the positioning hole 7 in the limit block 6, and the open position of the locking plate 5 can be locked. After the installation of the monitoring module 2 is completed, the locking plate 5 is pulled to make the spring plunger 12 disengage from the positioning hole 7. Under the elastic reset effect of the spring 9, the two groups of locking plates 5 complete the pressing of the monitoring module 2, and a rubber pad is provided at the position of the card slot 14 opened in the locking plate 5 to further seal the installation position of the monitoring module 2 to prevent gas leakage and avoid safety hazards.

[0038] The gas-liquid separator comprises a cylinder 15, in which a filter membrane permeation tube is arranged. The filter membrane permeation tube comprises a hollow pipe and a filter membrane sheet embedded in the inner wall of the hollow pipe.

[0039] It should be noted that the membrane permeation tube is a spiral structure or a loop structure. The membrane permeation tube is made of PFA-HP material, with an outer diameter of 6.15-6.55mm and a thickness of 0.80-1.2mm. According to the test requirements of ASTM D3307, the tensile strength value is required to be greater than or equal to 160kfg / cm 2 , the elongation requirement is greater than or equal to 160%, according to the test requirements of ASTM D792, the density requirement is 2.12-2.17g / cm 3 .

[0040] Specifically, the permeable filter membrane tube includes a hollow pipe and a filter membrane sheet embedded in the inner wall of the hollow pipe, and the filter membrane sheet is filled with permeable filter material holes at equal intervals. Optionally, the permeable filter material holes are used to fill activated carbon, not limited to activated carbon filter material.

[0041] In this embodiment, the filter membrane is filled with activated carbon filter material to form a thicker activated carbon filter material coating. The raw liquid flows through the activated carbon filter material coating and evenly and slowly penetrates through the filter material holes in the filter membrane. The raw liquid fully contacts the filter material to form micro-permeation, which more effectively peels off the molecules to be processed.

[0042] Joints 22 are provided at both ends of the cylinder 15. The joint 22 at one end is connected to the vacuum interface 16 and the raw liquid outlet 17, and the joint 22 at the other end is connected to the leakage detection interface 18 and the raw liquid inlet 19. The leakage detection interface 18 is connected to the sealed container 1 to detect the state of liquid seepage. The vacuum interface 16 is used to connect the vacuum pump to evacuate the interior of the cylinder 15. The vacuum interface 16, the raw liquid outlet 17, the leakage detection interface 18 and the raw liquid inlet 19 all use 1 / 4" threaded interfaces.

[0043] The stock solution containing the carrier gas He flows into the permeation filter membrane tube through the stock solution inlet 19. After the cavity of the cylinder 15 is evacuated by a vacuum pump, the He molecules are discharged to the outside of the filter membrane through the pressure difference between the filter membrane and the inside of the permeation filter membrane tube, and then pumped to the outside to obtain the degassed stock solution. The degassed stock solution flows into the process pipeline through the stock solution outlet 17.

[0044] The utility model uses an osmotic filter membrane tube to realize the device-liquid separation function, combines the detection principle of the liquid level sensor, utilizes the magnetic field to measure the leakage, and strips the He molecules in the liquid source gas. While reducing the burden of the flow meter, it does not affect the stable supply of the liquid source and can prevent the liquid source from leaking, meeting the control requirements of hazardous chemical liquids.

[0045] Embodiment 2:

[0046] Based on the first embodiment, since the sealed container involved in the use of the He molecule stripping device includes a sealed container 1 and a cylinder 15, only the sealed container 1 is sealed and the liquid level is detected, and the Mo gas source cannot be completely sealed and controlled. Therefore, in this embodiment, a structure with a sealing function is also provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 15, specifically including:

[0047] Sealing rings 21 are provided at both ends of the cylinder 15 and at the joint connection positions, and a sleeve ring 20 for fastening the sealing ring 21 is provided outside the sealing ring 21, thereby avoiding the hidden danger of He molecules leaking through the cylinder 15 during stripping.

[0048] In this embodiment, joints 22 are provided in the joints at both ends of the cylinder 15, and an annular groove is provided at the connection position between the joint 22 and the cylinder 15 to facilitate the embedding of the sealing ring 21. At the same time, a ring 20 is sleeved on the surface of the cylinder 15, and a groove matching the sealing ring 21 is provided on the inner wall of the ring 20, so that the ring 20 is wrapped around the surface of the sealing ring 21, further sealing the connection end of the cylinder 15 to prevent gas leakage and avoid safety hazards.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.
