[0004] In the Harsh process, a large amount of SiO2 dust and highly corrosive harmful substances need to be handled. In order to facilitate the discharge operation during maintenance and cleaning, the gas reactor used in some existing semiconductor waste gas treatment systems will be designed with a constricted structure at the bottom output end of the gas reactor, that is, a tank structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. This structure easily increases the resistance of the internal gas at the bottom and causes poor flow. When the flow rate decreases, it is easy to cause dust to accumulate on the wall, even blockage, and further cause equipment corrosion and leakage, resulting in the need for frequent shutdown of the equipment for cleaning and maintenance during use.

[0028] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] Example 1: Combination Figure 1-3 This embodiment discloses a semiconductor process waste gas treatment system, including a cabinet 1, a gas reactor 2, a water tank 3, a washing tower 4, a connecting pipe 5 and a filler 6.
[0030] Specifically, the cabinet 1 is a rectangular box structure, a door structure is provided on the front side thereof, and a cavity 11 is provided inside thereof, and the cavity 11 provides an assembly space for various components.
[0031] The water tank 3 is assembled at the bottom of the cavity 11. The water tank 3 is used to store water required for the exhaust gas treatment process. In this embodiment, the interior of the water tank 3 is a single-compartment structure, and water circulation is achieved with the help of a filter. In other embodiments, it can also be set to a multi-compartment structure for separating clean water and sewage.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a gas reactor 2 and a washing tower 4 are provided on the water tank 3. The top of the washing tower 4 is an exhaust end. The bottom of the washing tower 4 is connected to the top of the water tank 3. A water channel connected to the water tank 3 is provided inside the washing tower 4. The water channel further purifies the gas with the help of a spray system and finally discharges it.
[0033] The top of the gas reactor 2 is the input end, and the input end is provided with a plurality of air inlet pipes, which are respectively used to input the exhaust gas to be purified and the functional gas such as nitrogen that reacts with the exhaust gas to achieve the purification effect. It is a prior art, and its specific structure and working principle are not described here in detail. Those skilled in the art can select and implement it from the prior art according to the actual operation situation. A first disassembly body 21 is provided at the bottom of the gas reactor 2, and one side of the first disassembly body 21 forms a connecting structure with the bottom side wall of the washing tower 4 through a connecting pipe 5. During actual operation, the gas enters from the top of the gas reactor 2, and enters the bottom of the washing tower 4 along the connecting pipe 5 after descending, and is discharged after ascending.
[0034] It should be noted that the first disassembly body 21 is connected and assembled by means of a flange, a sealing ring and bolts, and its function is to facilitate the bottom disassembly of the gas reactor 2 during maintenance and to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the interior.
[0035] Furthermore, a conical cylinder structure with a small top and a large bottom is provided on the top of the gas reactor 2, and a uniform gas filtering module is provided inside the conical cylinder structure. The uniform gas filtering module includes a material basket 23, which is detachably connected to the inner wall of the gas reactor 2, and a filler 6 is provided inside the material basket 23.
[0036] Among them, combined Figure 2 The gas reactor 2 includes a variable diameter section 2a and a vertical section 2b distributed up and down. The variable diameter section 2a constitutes the conical cylinder structure. A fixed frame 22 is provided inside the variable diameter section 2a. The fixed frame 22 has a longitudinal hollow structure. The uniform gas filtering module is connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 22. When working, the gas can pass through the fixed frame 22 and the uniform gas filtering module. In the process of passing through the uniform gas filtering module, the gas will be evenly dispersed, so that the gas in each area can be fully mixed, which is conducive to improving the contact effect between the gases, thereby improving the reaction effect.
[0037] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fixing frame 22 includes an outer ring 221 and an inner ring 222 which are arranged concentrically, and the two are connected into an integrated structure via a plurality of ribs 223 . A central hole 224 is provided at the center of the inner ring 222 , and the central hole 224 passes through the inner ring 222 longitudinally.
[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal section profile of the material basket 23 is a frustum shell structure, with a vertical mounting rod 24 provided at the center thereof. The mounting rod 24 has an external thread structure, and the mounting rod 24 passes through the middle hole 224 from bottom to top and is fixed by a nut. After installation, the outer periphery of the material basket 23 abuts against the inner wall of the reducing section 2a of the gas reactor 2 to form a clamping limit structure, which functions to cover the internal airflow path of the gas reactor 2, to break up the gas passing through, and to filter and capture impurities contained in the gas.
[0039] In this embodiment, the fillers 6 are all multi-faceted hollow balls, which are prior art. The specific structure and working principle thereof are not described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can select and implement from the prior art according to the actual operation conditions. In other embodiments, a mixed filling method of multiple fillers 6 can also be adopted.
[0040] Furthermore, a second disassembly body 41 is provided at the bottom of the washing tower 4, and the connection position between the connecting pipe 5 and the washing tower 4 is located on the side wall of the second disassembly body 41. The structure and function of the second disassembly body 41 are similar to those of the first disassembly body 21.
[0041] Example 2: Based on Example 1, Figure 4 In this embodiment, a holding piece 25 is sleeved on the mounting rod 24, and the holding piece 25 is located at the top of the filling material 6 in the material basket 23, and the holding piece 25 has a plurality of longitudinal hollow structures. Specifically, in this embodiment, the holding piece 25 adopts a filter structure, and its function is to hold the filling material 6 from top to bottom, so that the filling material 6 is closely attached to each other and will not easily run around due to the impact of airflow, resulting in excessive local gaps and uneven resistance due to excessive local gaps.
[0042] Furthermore, the mounting rod 24 is provided with an elastic member 27 between the holding member 25 and the top of the material frame. The elastic member 27 is a tension spring. The elastic expansion direction of the elastic member 27 is parallel to the vertical direction. The function of the elastic member 27 is to provide a longitudinal elastic force for the holding member 25, so that it has a certain longitudinal elastic activity ability. Its structure can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual air intake volume during the specific implementation process. If the air volume is too large and the wind speed is too fast, the holding member 25 will be forced to move downward, further tightly squeeze the filler 6 below, so that the structure of the filler 6 is more stable, which can play the role of stabilizing and homogenizing the gas and can also slow down the flow and speed, ensuring that the gas reaction has enough time and space. If the air volume is small and the wind speed is slow, the elastic member 27 will drive the holding member 25 to move upward appropriately, so that the filler 6 is relatively loose and the gap becomes larger, which will reduce the wind resistance and make the air flow relatively smooth without causing blockage and retention.
[0043] In other embodiments, a plurality of height-adjustable feet are provided at the bottom of the cabinet 1 to facilitate horizontal correction or slight adjustment of the installation height when assembling the equipment.
[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
