[0023] Embodiment

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present invention is a high-precision CVD reactor with multiple protection functions, including a reaction tank 1 and a control assembly 2 adaptively installed with the reaction tank 1. The reaction tank 1 includes a tank body 11, a support 12 fixed to the lower part of the periphery of the tank body 11, a tank cover 13 sealingly connected to the end of the tank body 11, an inner tank 14 arranged inside the tank body 11, and a gas pipeline 15 passing through the inner tank 14 and the tank body 11; the control assembly 2 includes a buffer bin 21 connected to the gas pipeline 15, a multi-way gas branch pipeline 22 connected to the buffer bin 21, a flow control valve 23 correspondingly connected to the gas branch pipeline 22, a heating element 24 arranged in the gap between the tank body 11 and the inner tank 14, a pressure relief pipe 25 arranged in the middle of the tank cover 13, and an automatic pressure relief valve 26 adaptively installed with the pressure relief pipe 25;

[0025] In the reaction tank 1, the tank body 11 is the main container of the reactor, made of high-temperature resistant materials, capable of withstanding high pressure and high temperature conditions. The support 12 is used to support the tank body 11 and ensure its stable placement. The tank cover 13 is tightly connected to the tank body 11 through a sealing structure (such as an O-ring) to prevent leakage. The inner tank 14 is located inside the tank body 11, directly contacting the reaction gas, made of corrosion-resistant materials, capable of withstanding the high temperature and chemical substances generated during the reaction. The gas pipeline 15 is responsible for introducing the reaction gas from an external source into the inner tank 14;

[0026] In the control component 2, the buffer bin 21 stabilizes the gas flow rate and pressure entering the reaction tank 1, reduces fluctuations, and improves the stability of the reaction process. The multi-channel gas branch pipes 22 inject different gases into the buffer bin 21 as required. Each gas branch pipe 22 is connected to a flow control valve 23 for precisely adjusting the flow rate of each gas. The heating element 24 is located in the space between the tank body 11 and the inner tank 14 and adopts an electric heating method. It is evenly distributed to ensure the uniformity of the temperature field. The automatic pressure relief valve 26 is connected to the pressure relief pipe 25 and will automatically open when the pressure in the tank body 11 reaches the set threshold, releasing the excess pressure through the pressure relief pipe 25 and connecting to a dedicated safety system.

[0027] Specifically, a control panel 27 is provided on the side of the support 12. The control panel 27 is connected to a sensing system. The sensing system includes a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and a gas concentration sensor arranged inside the inner tank 14. The control circuits of the heating element 24 and the automatic pressure relief valve 26 are connected to the control panel 27. The heating element 24 and the cooling water form a water bath heating system. The heating element 24 is in a ring-shaped heating structure and is evenly distributed at equal intervals in the temperature control chamber. The control panel 27 is interconnected with the management end for data interaction, and an alarm 28 is provided at the bottom of the control panel 27.

[0028] The sensing system is used to continuously monitor the state inside the inner tank 14. The data of the temperature sensor, the pressure sensor, and the gas concentration sensor are transmitted to the control panel 27 for processing. The control panel 27 integrates the readings of all sensors and the control system, enabling the operator to monitor and control the reaction process in real time and communicate with other management systems through the network. The heating element 24 is combined with the circulating cooling water to form a closed-loop temperature control system. The cooling water circulates through the water pipe 16 to keep the temperature around the inner tank 14 stable. When an abnormal situation is detected (such as too high temperature or abnormal pressure), the alarm 28 will be immediately activated to remind the operator to take measures.

[0029] Furthermore, a temperature control chamber is formed by spacing the inner tank 14 from the tank body 11. Cooling water is circulated and infused in the temperature control chamber through the water pipe 16. The water pipe 16 is adaptively installed with a water valve 17. The water pipe 16 is part of the cooling water circulation system and is used to send cooling water into and out of the temperature control chamber. The water valve 17 is used to control the flow rate and direction of the cooling water to ensure the normal operation of the cooling water circulation system.

[0030] In summary, this technical solution provides a CVD reactor with reasonable structure, simple operation, and high safety, which is suitable for various application scenarios that require precise control of reaction conditions.
