[0002] With the rapid development of the gas industry in recent years, helium filling equipment has gradually become one of the key equipment in the field of gas filling. As a rare gas, helium has the characteristics of stable chemical properties, low density, and good thermal conductivity. It is widely used in aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing, medical research and other fields.

[0003] Before filling helium, in order to ensure the purity of helium in the cylinder, it is necessary to first connect the cylinder to the vacuum pipe, then evacuate the cylinder, and then reconnect the cylinder to the filling pipe to fill the cylinder with helium. Traditional helium filling equipment is mostly manual or semi-automatic, which has problems such as cumbersome operation, low precision, and low efficiency. In addition, the remaining helium in the cylinder cannot be recovered, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the above problems and provide a vacuum pumping system for helium filling equipment which has a high degree of automation and can effectively recover the residual helium in the gas cylinder.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model discloses a vacuum pumping system for helium filling equipment, including a gas storage tank and a filling pipeline connected to the gas storage tank, and its structural characteristics are: it also includes a branch pipeline connected to the filling pipeline, and a plurality of filling stations for installing gas cylinders are arranged on the branch pipeline, and a recovery pipeline is connected to the filling pipeline, and also includes a recovery tank for storing recovered gas, the recovery tank is connected to the recovery pipeline, and a vacuum pump is installed on the recovery pipeline.

[0006] After adopting the above structure, the vacuum system for helium filling equipment has brought significant economic and social benefits to the gas cylinder filling industry through the advantages of efficient filling and recycling, high safety, strong flexibility, energy saving and environmental protection, and easy maintenance.

[0007] It also includes a converging pipeline, and multiple branch pipelines are provided. Multiple branch pipelines are installed on the converging pipeline, and the converging pipeline is connected to the filling pipeline. The design of the converging pipeline enables multiple branch pipelines to be connected to the filling pipeline at the same time, simplifies the pipeline structure, enhances the stability and reliability of the system, and also facilitates the installation and maintenance of the pipeline.

[0008] A branch control valve is installed on the branch pipeline to control the on-off of the pipeline. The branch control valve can accurately control the on-off of each branch pipeline, facilitate the management and control of the filling process, improve the flexibility and safety of filling, and reduce the risk during the filling process.

[0009] A booster pump is installed on the filling pipeline to increase the pressure of the gas cylinder. The booster pump can provide sufficient pressure to the gas cylinder to ensure that the filling process can proceed smoothly, improve the filling speed and efficiency, and also ensure the filling quality.

[0010] The filling pipeline is equipped with a first control valve for controlling the on-off of the pipeline. The first control valve can control the on-off of the filling pipeline, facilitates the management and control of the filling process, improves the flexibility and safety of the filling, and avoids unexpected situations during the filling process.

[0011] The recovery pipeline is equipped with a second control valve for controlling the on-off of the pipeline. The second control valve can control the on-off of the recovery pipeline, facilitate the management and control of the recovery process, improve the flexibility and safety of the recovery, and ensure that the recovery process can proceed smoothly.

[0012] The filling pipeline is equipped with a second one-way valve that controls the one-way flow of the airflow toward the branch pipeline. The second one-way valve can ensure that the airflow can only flow toward the branch pipeline, prevent gas backflow, improve the safety of the filling process, and avoid safety problems caused by gas backflow.

[0013] The recovery pipeline is equipped with a first one-way valve that controls the one-way flow of air toward the recovery tank. The first one-way valve can ensure that the airflow can only flow toward the recovery tank, prevent the exhaust gas from leaking out, improve the safety of the recovery process, and also ensure the effective recovery of the exhaust gas.

[0014] In summary, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the system realizes the simultaneous filling of multiple gas cylinders through the filling pipeline and the filling stations on the multiple branch pipelines, thereby greatly improving the filling efficiency. At the same time, the setting of the recovery pipeline and the recovery tank enables the waste gas or unused gas generated during the filling process to be effectively recovered, thereby avoiding the waste of resources. The setting of multiple branch pipelines and filling stations enables the system to adapt to the filling needs of gas cylinders of different quantities and specifications. At the same time, by adjusting the switching state of the branch control valve, the gas cylinder to be filled can be flexibly selected, thereby improving the flexibility of the system. The setting of the recovery tank and the recovery pipeline enables the waste gas or unused gas generated during the filling process to be recovered and reused, thereby reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution.
