Specific implementation manner

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a hot plate waste discharge pipeline, including a first waste discharge pipe 1, a second waste discharge pipe 5, and a plurality of third waste discharge pipes 7. A plurality of waste discharge channels 12 are separately and independently arranged in the inner cavity of the first waste discharge pipe 1. The second waste discharge pipe 5 is arranged on one side of the first waste discharge pipe 1; each waste discharge channel 12 is independently communicated with a plurality of waste discharge branch pipes. A plurality of waste discharge branch pipes are connected and arranged on both the second waste discharge pipe 5 and the third waste discharge pipe 7. One end of the waste discharge branch pipe is communicated with the waste discharge port of the process unit, and the waste discharge branch pipes are independently arranged from each other.

[0025] In the present invention, through a plurality of waste discharge channels 12 separately and independently arranged in the inner cavity of the first waste discharge pipe 1, when there is a pressure fluctuation in a single waste discharge branch pipe, it will not affect the normal waste discharge of other waste discharge channels 12, so that the pressures in the pipelines do not interfere with each other. And only the respective gases are discharged in their respective pipelines, and there will be no large difference in the upstream and downstream pressures in the pipeline, meeting the pressure drop requirements for waste discharge.

[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of waste discharge channels 12 that are independent of each other are formed in the first waste discharge pipe 1 by separating with a plurality of partition boards 11. A first waste discharge branch pipe 2, a second waste discharge branch pipe 3, and a third waste discharge branch pipe 4 are respectively communicated with the plurality of waste discharge channels 12. The plurality of first waste discharge branch pipes 2, second waste discharge branch pipes 3, and third waste discharge branch pipes 4 are respectively communicated with one waste discharge channel 12.

[0027] Refer to Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the lower part of the second waste discharge pipe 5 is partitioned to form two waste discharge channels 12, and a number of fourth waste discharge branch pipes 6 are respectively communicated with the two waste discharge channels 12. A number of fourth waste discharge branch pipes 6 with a large waste discharge volume are communicated with the lower waste discharge channel 12. By arranging two waste discharge channels 12 in the lower part of the second waste discharge pipe 5, the waste discharge channels 12 of the two lower waste discharge branch pipes are distinguished from those of the four upper branch pipes, so as to prevent the situation that when sharing a waste discharge channel 12, the waste discharge volume of the two lower fourth waste discharge branch pipes 6 is large, resulting in a small negative pressure on the upper side of the waste discharge pipeline, thus affecting the waste discharge of the upper hot plate.

[0028] In this embodiment, a number of fifth waste discharge branch pipes 8 are respectively communicated and arranged on a number of third waste discharge pipes 7.

[0029] Refer to Figure 4 And 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first waste discharge pipe 1, the second waste discharge pipe 5 and a number of third waste discharge pipes 7 are all vertically arranged, and the first waste discharge branch pipe 2, the second waste discharge branch pipe 3, the third waste discharge branch pipe 4, the fourth waste discharge branch pipe 6 and the fifth waste discharge branch pipe 8 are horizontally arranged between the first waste discharge pipe 1 and the third waste discharge pipe 7. Through the vertically and horizontally arranged waste discharge pipes and waste discharge branch pipes, the waste discharge requirements of each level of hot waste discharge ports in the wafer coating and developing processes can be well adapted, and the exhaust gas of multiple unit waste discharge ports can be efficiently discharged independently of each other.

[0030] As shown in the appendix Figures 4 - 6 As shown, the waste discharge pipes of this solution are set as four types: the first waste discharge pipe 1, the second waste discharge pipe 5, the third waste discharge pipe 7 and the waste discharge branch pipes, corresponding to different hot plate processes respectively. Each type of pipeline is connected to its corresponding hot plate waste discharge port, and three waste discharge pipelines 12 are partitioned in the first waste discharge pipe 1. Through the mutually partitioned pipelines, the pressure fluctuations occurring in the second waste discharge branch pipe 3 (red pipeline) will not affect the first waste discharge branch pipe 2 and the third waste discharge branch pipe 4 (gray and blue pipelines), so that the pressures in the pipelines do not interfere with each other, and only the gases of their respective pipelines are discharged in their respective pipelines, and there will be no large difference in the pressures upstream and downstream in the pipeline, meeting the pressure drop requirements for waste discharge.

[0031] In the prior art, in the first waste discharge pipe 1, three hot plate waste discharge ports are communicated through waste discharge branch pipes, and the three waste discharge branch pipes share a waste discharge pipe. The pressure change of one waste discharge port will affect the overall pressure change of the waste discharge branch pipe. Therefore, in this solution, a partition is provided in the first waste discharge pipe 1 to distinguish the three waste discharge branch pipes and prevent them from affecting each other.

[0032] The second row of waste pipes 5 and the third row of waste pipes 7 are another group of waste pipes (green pipelines), which are divided into two wholes, left and right, with the direction close to the first row of waste pipes 1 (gray waste pipes) being the left side. In the pipeline of the second row of waste pipes 5, the second row of waste pipes 5 is divided into several paths. Among them, several fourth-row waste branch pipes 6 are aggregated into two paths of the second row of waste pipes 5. For example, the waste pipes of the following two fourth-row waste branch pipes 6 are distinguished from the waste pipes of the above four fourth-row waste branch pipes 6. This can prevent the large waste discharge of the following two branch pipes when sharing a waste pipe, resulting in a relatively small negative pressure on the upper side of the waste pipe, thereby affecting the waste discharge of the waste discharge port of the upper hot plate.

[0033] In the right-side waste discharge pipeline, that is, the third row of waste pipes 7, the third row of waste pipes 7 is also divided into several paths. The difference from the left side is that the fifth-row waste branch pipe 8 discharges waste through three third-row waste pipes 7, and the effect is the same as that of the second row of waste pipes 5 described above.

[0034] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation. An element defined by the statement "comprising a..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
