Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline cooling, in particular to a coolant cooling mechanism used in a pipeline cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] Piping systems are a vital component of semiconductor equipment. As integrated circuit line widths continue to shrink, the requirements for surface cleanliness within piping systems are becoming increasingly stringent. Traditional mechanical cleaning methods struggle to meet these requirements and are prone to particulate contamination. Plasma cleaning technology, with its non-contact, residue-free advantages, has gradually become the mainstream method for piping system cleaning. However, plasma is a high-temperature gas, and plasma cleaning generates a certain amount of heat. If this heat is not promptly removed, it can cause the piping surface to expand, deform, or even be damaged. Furthermore, the high temperature can affect downstream process parameters.

[0003] Existing cooling methods present several issues. The primary issue is excessive detection signals, which frequently trigger alarms. This not only increases maintenance costs but also impacts the equipment's normal operation. Furthermore, water cooling, the primary heat dissipation method, fails to effectively remove heat from the pipes, posing a potential threat to the equipment's stability and lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a coolant cooling mechanism for a pipeline cleaning system, which can more efficiently absorb and remove heat from the pipeline, thereby improving the operating efficiency and stability of semiconductor equipment.

[0006] The air source end cooling block has a built-in coolant. The air source end cooling block is attached to the outer periphery of the air source pipeline and absorbs and removes the heat on the air source pipeline through the coolant.

[0007] The pipeline end cooling block has a built-in coolant and is connected to the gas source end cooling block; the pipeline end cooling block is attached to the outer periphery of the clean gas transmission pipeline and absorbs and removes the heat on the clean gas transmission pipeline through the coolant.

[0008] Furthermore, the cooling block at the gas source end is connected to the liquid inlet joint, and the cooling block at the pipeline end is connected to the liquid return joint, so that the coolant circulates for refrigeration.

[0009] Furthermore, the gas source end cooling block comprises:

[0013] Furthermore, the pipeline end cooling block comprises:

[0014] The first size pipeline end cooling block a is arranged on the first size clean gas transmission pipeline, and the liquid inlet end is connected to the liquid outlet end of the third gas source end cooling block;

[0015] The first-size pipeline end cooling block b is arranged on the first-size clean gas transmission pipeline, and its liquid inlet end is connected to the liquid outlet end of the first-size pipeline end cooling block a.

[0016] Furthermore, the pipeline end cooling block further includes:

[0017] The second size pipeline end cooling block a is provided on the second size clean gas transmission pipeline, and the liquid inlet end is connected to the liquid outlet end of the first size pipeline end cooling block b;

[0018] The second size pipeline end cooling block b is arranged on the second size clean gas transmission pipeline, and the liquid inlet end is connected to the liquid outlet end a of the second size pipeline end cooling block, and the liquid outlet end is connected to the liquid return joint.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0020] Cooling water inlet connector, connected to the water inlet end of the pipe cleaning system transmitter;

[0021] The cooling water return joint is connected to the return end of the pipe cleaning system transmitter.

[0022] Furthermore, the first size pipeline end cooling block a and the first size pipeline end cooling block b are an up-down structure or a left-right structure; the second size pipeline end cooling block a and the second size pipeline end cooling block b are an up-down structure or a left-right structure.

[0023] Furthermore, the gas source end cooling block and the pipeline end cooling block are made of alloy material.

[0024] Furthermore, both the liquid inlet joint and the liquid return joint are provided with manual stop valves.

[0025] Furthermore, the cooling water inlet joint and the cooling water return joint are both provided with water source shut-off valves.

[0026] The above technical solution adopted by this utility model has the following advantages over the existing technology: the coolant used in this application exhibits a superior cooling effect compared to traditional cooling water. The coolant can more efficiently absorb and remove heat generated during the equipment cleaning process, thereby ensuring that the equipment operates at a lower temperature, improving operational efficiency and stability. In addition, the coolant has excellent thermal conductivity and stability, and is not prone to evaporation or scaling, which reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacement, further reducing operating costs.

[0027] The coolant cooling mechanism in this application utilizes energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and safe alloy materials for the gas source cooling block, pipeline cooling block, and coolant transmission pipeline. This material not only exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance, enabling long-term stable operation in harsh operating environments, but also complies with environmental standards, minimizing potential environmental impact. Furthermore, it fully considers personal safety considerations, avoids the release of harmful substances, and effectively protects the health and safety of operators and equipment maintenance personnel.
