[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 The figure shows the finished assembly of the double-layer cooling chamber, which is used in semiconductor manufacturing, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, it includes an inner tube body 1, and an outer tube body 2 coaxially distributed with the inner tube body 1 and sleeved outside the inner tube body 1, with a medium flow interlayer 3 between the outer tube body 2 and the inner tube body 1. The cooling medium flows through the medium flow interlayer 3, thereby controlling the temperature to achieve a cooling effect;

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, a water channel ring 4 is fixed in the medium circulation interlayer 3. The water channel ring 4 is at least partially fixedly connected to the inner tube body 1, and the remaining part of the water channel ring 4 is fixedly connected to the outer tube body 2. At the same time, it does not affect the cooling medium flowing in the medium circulation interlayer 3. Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of water channel holes 40 are provided on the water channel ring 4, whose axis is parallel to the axis of the inner tube body 1. In addition to providing a circulation channel for the cooling medium, the water channel hole 40 can also be used to adjust the water flow to achieve a temperature control effect. Specifically, the inner ring wall of the water channel ring 4 is seamlessly welded to the outer wall of the inner tube body 1, and the outer ring wall of the water channel ring 4 is seamlessly welded to the inner wall of the outer tube body 2. The water channel holes 40 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the above-mentioned water channel ring 4.

[0030] The water channel ring 4 improves the structural strength of the entire medium circulation interlayer 3 to a certain extent, and prevents the internal and external pressure difference caused by the medium circulation from affecting the interlayer structure.

[0031] At the same time, the arrangement of the water channel ring 4 divides the medium flow interlayer 3 into at least two upper and lower chambers, which are connected through the water channel holes 40. In this embodiment, there is only one water channel ring 4, which can also be increased according to the length or pipe diameter of the double-layer cooling cavity.

[0032] One end of the inner tube body 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer tube body 2 via a first flange ring 5 , and the other end of the inner tube body 1 is fixedly connected to the other end of the outer tube body 2 via a second flange ring 6 .

[0033] In this embodiment, both ends of the inner tube body 1 and the outer tube body 2 are connected to flange rings. The above-mentioned first flange ring 5 and second flange ring 6 are used to connect the double-layer cooling cavity with other devices. At the same time, the above-mentioned first flange ring 5 and second flange ring 6 play a positioning role in the assembly of the inner tube body 1 and the outer tube body 2 during the cavity processing. The first flange ring 5 and the second flange ring 6 are fixedly connected to the inner tube body 1 and the outer tube body 2 by welding. At the same time, the first flange ring 5 is described in terms of spatial position and is arranged at the bottom of the tube body, while the second flange ring 6 is arranged at the top of the above-mentioned tube body.

[0034] The first flange ring 5 and the second flange ring 6 are respectively provided with an inner step groove 10, and the two ends of the inner tube body 1 are respectively provided with an inner step portion 11 that matches the corresponding inner step groove 10. The inner step groove 10 and the inner step portion 11 are matched and welded and fixed. The matching of the inner step groove 10 and the inner step portion 11 enables the operator to align the position of the flange ring and the tube body more quickly and conveniently during the processing, thereby improving the processing accuracy and speed.

[0035] Similarly, with the same function as the above-mentioned inner step groove 10 and inner step portion 11, outer step grooves 20 are respectively provided on the first flange ring 5 and the second flange ring 6, and outer step portions 21 matching the corresponding outer step grooves 20 are respectively provided at both ends of the outer tube body 2. The outer step groove 20 and the outer step portion 21 are matched and welded to fix.

[0036] The first flange ring 5 is provided with at least one medium flow inlet hole 50 communicating with the medium flow interlayer 3, and the second flange ring 6 is provided with at least one medium flow outlet hole 60 communicating with the medium flow interlayer 3. Cooling medium enters the medium flow interlayer 3 through the medium flow inlet hole 50 on the bottom first flange ring 5, then flows out of the medium flow outlet hole 60 through the water channel hole 40. Because the medium flow inlet hole 50 is located on the bottom first flange ring 5 and the medium flow outlet hole 60 is located on the top second flange ring 6, the cooling medium can completely fill the medium flow interlayer 3, ensuring sufficient and uniform cooling of all parts of the double-layer cooling cavity.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The structure and principle of this embodiment are basically the same as those of the first embodiment. The difference lies in that, with respect to the double-layer cooling cavity of the first embodiment, this embodiment describes other components on the double-layer cooling cavity.

[0039] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the double-layer cooling cavity further includes a plurality of channel tubes 7 evenly distributed in an annular shape on the outer wall of the outer tube body 2 . The channel tubes 7 penetrate the outer tube body 2 and extend to the interior of the inner tube body 1 . The channel tubes 7 are not connected to the medium flow interlayer 3 .

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the channel tube 7 includes a first channel 70 distributed perpendicular to the central axis of the inner tube body 1, and a second channel 71 distributed at an angle to the central axis of the inner tube body 1. In this embodiment, the second channel 71 is set to form a 70° angle with the central axis of the above-mentioned tube body.

[0041] The double-layer cooling cavity further includes an inlet and outlet flange 8 fixedly connected to the outer tube body 2 . The inlet and outlet flange 8 communicates with the interior of the inner tube body 1 , and is not in communication with the medium flow interlayer 3 .

[0042] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
