Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ultraviolet cleaning, in particular to an ultraviolet cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Ultraviolet cleaning technology is a method that uses the photosensitive oxidation of organic compounds to remove organic substances adhering to the surface of materials. Specifically, UV light cleaning machine / ultraviolet ozone cleaning machine can simultaneously emit ultraviolet light with wavelengths of 254nm and 185nm. The photon energy of these two wavelengths can directly open and cut the covalent bonds in organic molecules, activate organic molecules, and decompose them into ions, free atoms, excited molecules, etc. At the same time, the light energy of ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 185nm can decompose oxygen (O2) in the air into ozone (O3); while the light energy of ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 254nm can decompose O3 into O2 and active oxygen (O). This photosensitive oxidation reaction process is continuous. Under the irradiation of these two short-wave ultraviolet lights, ozone will continue to be generated and decomposed, and active oxygen atoms will continue to be generated, and more and more. Because active oxygen atoms (O) have a strong oxidizing effect, they react with activated organic matter (i.e. hydrocarbon) molecules to generate volatile gases (such as CO2, CO, H2O, NO, etc.) that escape from the surface of objects, thereby completely removing organic pollutants adhering to the surface of objects.

[0003] The existing ultraviolet cleaning device usually only has one row of ultraviolet lamps, and the sample is placed under the ultraviolet lamp for ultraviolet cleaning. This will cause only one side of the sample to receive ultraviolet light, resulting in reduced ultraviolet cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the existing ultraviolet cleaning device usually places the sample directly on a placement plate, and then puts the placement plate into the device. However, for transmission electron microscope samples, due to the extremely small size of the sample, the sample can only be clamped to the placement plate by tools such as tweezers. After the subsequent cleaning is completed, the sample must be clamped to the measuring rod of the transmission electron microscope by tweezers, which is a cumbersome operation.

In this embodiment, in order to facilitate observation of the internal cleaning condition, the cleaning container 1 is also provided with an observation window 14.

[0031] The light emitting mechanism 2 includes a plurality of ultraviolet lamp tubes 21 , and each ultraviolet lamp tube 21 encloses an irradiation area.

[0032] The sample placement mechanism 3 includes a measuring rod 31, and the measuring rod 31 is inserted into the sample placement port 13. A transparent plate 311 for placing samples is formed at one end of the measuring rod 31 located in the cleaning chamber, and the transparent plate 311 is located in the irradiation area. In this embodiment, the measuring rod 31 is a measuring rod matched with a transmission electron microscope and can be directly inserted into the sample socket of the transmission electron microscope. In this way, when cleaning is completed, the measuring rod 31 can be directly pulled out from the sample placement port 13 and then inserted into the sample socket of the transmission electron microscope, which is more convenient to operate.

[0033] The vacuum mechanism 4 includes a vacuum pump 41 , and an inlet of the vacuum pump 41 is connected to the exhaust port 12 .

[0034] When in use, the sample of the transmission electron microscope is placed on the transparent plate 311 of the measuring rod 31, and then the measuring rod 31 is inserted into the sample placement port 13, and then the air inlet 11 is connected to the oxygen source, and the vacuum pump 41 is turned on to extract the gas in the cleaning container 1, and oxygen enters the cleaning container 1. After vacuuming for a period of time, the ultraviolet lamp 21 is turned on, and the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 21 decomposes the oxygen into ozone, and the ozone reacts with the organic pollutants adhered to the surface of the object to achieve cleaning of the sample. After cleaning, the measuring rod 31 is pulled out from the sample placement port 13 and then directly inserted into the sample socket of the transmission electron microscope.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 2-Figure 4 The cleaning container 1 is also provided with a storage groove 15 connected to the cleaning chamber, and a guide hole is provided on the side wall of the cleaning container 1.

The vacuum pump 41 is turned on synchronously. After vacuuming for a period of time, when the vacuum gauge 44 detects that the vacuum degree in the cleaning container 1 reaches a second preset value, the ultraviolet lamp 21 is turned on. The ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 21 decomposes oxygen into ozone, and the ozone reacts with organic pollutants adhered to the surface of the object to achieve cleaning of the sample. After cleaning, the measuring rod 31 is pulled out from the sample placement port 13 and then directly inserted into the sample jack of the transmission electron microscope.

[0046] The technical solution provided by the utility model is to place the sample on the transparent plate 311 of the measuring rod 31, and place the transparent plate 311 in the irradiation area surrounded by multiple ultraviolet lamp tubes 21 through the measuring rod 31.
