The following describes the implementation of the present invention based on its overall structure.
[0026] See also Figure 2 The utility model discloses an ultrapure water nitrogen sealing device, which includes a nitrogen supply unit, a nitrogen sealing barrel 1 provided with an external supply pipeline, and an overflow pipeline 2; wherein,
[0027] The nitrogen supply unit is connected to the air inlet of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1;
[0028] The water inlet of the nitrogen-sealed barrel 1 is used to communicate with the ultrapure water preparation unit. A proportional regulating valve 3 is further provided on the pipeline connecting the ultrapure water preparation unit and the water inlet of the nitrogen-sealed barrel 1. The proportional regulating valve 3 is also connected to a secondary container 4.
[0029] The nitrogen sealing barrel 1 is provided with a liquid level gauge 5, and a PID controller 6 is electrically connected to the liquid level gauge 5 and the proportional control valve 3, respectively, so as to interlock and adjust the valve opening value of the proportional control valve 3 to the water inlet and the auxiliary container 4;
[0030] The overflow pipeline 2 is connected to the overflow port of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 . The overflow pipeline 2 includes a U-shaped pipeline structure 7 that is no higher than the overflow port of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 . The U-shaped pipeline structure 7 can be filled with liquid to form a water seal 8 .
[0031] In the above-mentioned setting mode, the nitrogen supply unit is connected with the air inlet of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 to transport nitrogen into the nitrogen sealing barrel 1, and the water inlet of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 is connected with the ultrapure water preparation unit to receive and store the ultrapure water prepared by the ultrapure water preparation unit; the liquid level gauge 5 provided on the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 is used to monitor and feedback the liquid level in the nitrogen sealing barrel 1, and the ultrapure water preparation unit is further provided with a proportional regulating valve 3 on the pipeline connecting the water inlet of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 and the ultrapure water preparation unit, and the proportional regulating valve 3 is connected with a secondary container 4, and at the same time The PID controller 6 is electrically connected to the liquid level gauge 5 and the proportional control valve 3, respectively, so that it can interlock and adjust the valve opening value of the proportional control valve 3 to the water inlet and the auxiliary container 4 in real time, so that the liquid level fluctuation in the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 is maintained within 0.3%, thereby greatly saving the nitrogen usage due to frequent changes in the liquid level. The nitrogen sealing barrel 1 is provided with an overflow port connected to the overflow pipe 2, so that when the PID controller 6 fails, the excess water in the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 can be overflowed and discharged, thereby continuing to maintain a constant liquid level in the nitrogen sealing barrel 1. The overflow pipe 2 includes a U-shaped pipe structure 7 that is no higher than the overflow port of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1. The U-shaped pipe structure 7 can be filled with a certain amount of liquid (e.g., tap water) to form a water seal 8, thereby preventing outside air from entering the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 through the overflow pipe 2 and affecting the water quality.
[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, it should be understood that since the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 is provided with a water outlet (not shown in the figure) to transport the ultrapure water stored therein to the outside, the liquid level of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 will actually change with the consumption and replenishment of the ultrapure water therein. The liquid level meter 5 is now provided to transmit the real-time changing liquid level signal back to the PID controller 6 for comparison with the preset liquid level value. When the actual liquid level value transmitted back is less than the preset liquid level value, the PID controller 6 calculates the difference and outputs a signal to the proportional control valve 3. The proportional control valve 3 increases the valve opening value of the flow to the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 and decreases the valve opening value of the flow to the auxiliary container 4, thereby increasing the unit volume of ultrapure water flowing into the nitrogen sealing barrel 1. In other words, when the actual liquid level value transmitted back is greater than the preset liquid level value, the proportional control valve 3 will decrease the valve opening value of the flow to the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 and increase the valve opening value of the flow to the auxiliary container 4, thereby reducing the unit volume of ultrapure water flowing into the nitrogen sealing barrel 1. Since the signal feedback of the liquid level meter 5 and the signal output of the PID controller 6 are both performed in real time, the liquid level fluctuation in the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 can be kept within 0.3%, thereby greatly saving the nitrogen usage due to frequent changes in the liquid level.
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the proportional regulating valve 3 is a three-way valve, which is connected to the ultrapure water preparation unit, the nitrogen-sealed water barrel and the auxiliary container 4 respectively.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the nitrogen supply unit includes a nitrogen source 9, and the pipeline connecting the nitrogen source 9 and the air inlet of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 is also provided with a nitrogen sealing valve 10. A pressure spring is provided in the nitrogen sealing valve 10 to maintain the constant nitrogen pressure in the nitrogen sealing barrel 1.
[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, a breathing valve 11 is also provided on the top of the nitrogen sealing barrel 1, so that when the nitrogen sealing valve 10 fails, the nitrogen pressure in the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 can continue to be maintained: for example, when the pressure spring of the nitrogen sealing valve 10 cannot be closed and nitrogen continues to be transported into the nitrogen sealing barrel 1, and then the air pressure in the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 rises to a preset upper limit value, the air can be exhausted through the breathing valve 11, thereby preventing the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 from exploding due to excessive internal air pressure; and for example, when the pressure spring of the nitrogen sealing valve 10 cannot be opened and nitrogen cannot be transported into the nitrogen sealing barrel 1, and then the air pressure in the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 drops to a preset lower limit value, the air can be absorbed from the outside through the breathing valve 11, thereby preventing the nitrogen sealing barrel 1 from being sucked out.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the U-shaped pipe structure 7 is made of a transparent material, which is convenient for observing the liquid level inside and whether the filled liquid has deteriorated. The U-shaped pipe structure 7 is made of PVC, for example.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, a water replenishment valve 12 and a drain valve 13 are provided on the U-shaped pipeline structure 7, so that the U-shaped pipeline structure 7 can be replenished with water and the water can be replaced; preferably, the drain valve 13 is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped pipeline structure 7 to facilitate the emptying of the liquid (such as tap water) in the U-shaped pipeline structure 7.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any changes, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
