Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quick-drying ink cartridge technology, specifically to a quick-drying ink cartridge storage device and a quick-drying ink cartridge structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the semiconductor industry, after the die manufacturing process is completed, defective dies need to be discarded, and qualified dies need to be packaged. To facilitate the identification of defective dies, quick-drying ink cartridges are often used to mark them with dots.

[0003] However, quick-drying ink cartridges have a major drawback: once opened, regardless of usage, they will solidify and become unusable after four to five hours of inactivity. If continued labeling of the produced chips is desired, a new quick-drying ink cartridge must be replaced, resulting in a short lifespan for each cartridge, significant material waste, and increased processing costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem this invention aims to solve is: how to extend the service life of quick-drying ink cartridges.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a quick-drying ink cartridge storage device, comprising: at least one isolation unit; the isolation unit having a quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity for accommodating an opened quick-drying ink cartridge and isolating the contained quick-drying ink cartridge from the air.

[0006] In one possible embodiment, the isolation unit is a vacuum-packed structure.

[0007] In one possible embodiment, the vacuum packaging structure is a packaging bag.

[0008] In one possible embodiment, the packaging bag includes a vacuum port for evacuating the packaging bag and for removing or placing an opened quick-drying ink cartridge from or inside the packaging bag.

[0009] In one possible embodiment, one of the isolation units is used to house one of the quick-drying ink cartridges.

[0010] In one possible embodiment, the quick-drying ink cartridge storage device further includes: an isolation cabinet for storing isolation units containing quick-drying ink cartridges.

[0011] In one possible embodiment, the isolation cabinet includes an isolation unit receiving cavity filled with an inert gas.

[0012] In one possible embodiment, the inert gas is nitrogen.

[0013] In one possible embodiment, the humidity of the nitrogen gas inside the isolation cabinet is less than 25%.

[0014] This utility model embodiment also provides a quick-drying ink cartridge structure, the quick-drying ink cartridge structure comprising:

[0015] The quick-drying ink cartridge storage device described above;

[0016] And the quick-drying ink cartridge stored in the quick-drying ink cartridge storage device.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model embodiment has the following advantages:

[0018] By applying the solution of this utility model and setting up an isolation unit, the opened quick-drying ink cartridge can be placed in the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity of the isolation unit. The quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity can isolate the opened quick-drying ink cartridge from the air, thereby preventing the opened quick-drying ink cartridge from quickly solidifying due to contact with air. This can extend the service life of the quick-drying ink cartridge, thereby reducing material waste and lowering process costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of an isolation cabinet according to an embodiment of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0021] Currently, the semiconductor industry widely uses 8103 quick-drying ink cartridges to mark defective chips. However, once the 8103 quick-drying ink cartridge is opened, regardless of how much has been used, the ink inside will solidify after four to five hours of continuous inactivity, rendering it unusable. If continued marking of produced chips is desired, a new quick-drying ink cartridge must be replaced. This results in a short lifespan for each cartridge, significant material waste, and ultimately increased process costs.

[0022] However, there is currently no method to extend the lifespan of quick-drying ink cartridges.

[0023] The inventors discovered that the reason why quick-drying ink cartridges solidify in a short time is that the ink inside the cartridge is exposed to the air and reacts with oxygen in the air, causing the ink to solidify.

[0024] Therefore, this utility model provides a quick-drying ink cartridge storage device, which includes at least one isolation unit that can isolate the contained quick-drying ink cartridge from the air, thereby extending the service life of the quick-drying ink cartridge and ultimately reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] This utility model provides a quick-drying ink cartridge storage device, which includes at least one isolation unit.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the isolation unit 1 in one embodiment of the present invention. The isolation unit 1 has a quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11, which is used to receive an opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 and isolate the received quick-drying ink cartridge 12 from the air.

[0028] Since the isolation unit 1 can isolate the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 from the air, it can prevent the ink in the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 from coming into contact with the air and solidifying, thereby extending the service life of the quick-drying ink cartridge 12.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the quick-drying ink cartridge refers to an ink cartridge containing a high concentration of quick-drying ink. This quick-drying ink can dry rapidly after printing, preventing ink smudging or fuzzing. Its working principle is to achieve rapid drying by rapidly penetrating the ink into the paper fibers through high penetrability.

[0030] In a specific implementation, the isolation unit 1 may include an isolation body 10. The isolation body 10 has a quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11. The quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11 can isolate the contained quick-drying ink cartridge 12 from the air in various ways. For example, the isolation body 10 can be filled with a high-purity inert gas or other materials that do not affect the use of the quick-drying ink cartridge, so that the air in the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11 is completely eliminated, thereby achieving the purpose of isolating the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 from the air.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, the isolation unit 1 can be configured as a vacuum packaging structure. A vacuum packaging structure is a structure that provides a vacuum-sealed ink cartridge receiving cavity 11 to package an opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12. In other words, the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 is in a vacuum state within the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 12 of the vacuum packaging structure, thereby isolating the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 from the air.

[0032] In practical applications, any material capable of being evacuated can be used as the isolation body 10 to form the vacuum packaging structure. It can be a material with high rigidity, such as glass or metal, or a material with low rigidity, such as a sealing coating applied to the surface of an opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12, polyethylene, or other materials that can be evacuated.

[0033] Considering that the quick-drying ink cartridge storage device 1 needs to be placed in a clean environment in a semiconductor factory to identify defective chips, the material of the isolation body 10 can be a particle-resistant and anti-static material, such as polyethylene (PE) composite material.

[0034] In one embodiment, the vacuum packaging structure is a packaging bag, specifically a packaging bag that can be vacuum-sealed as the insulating body 10. The packaging bag can be made of polyethylene (PE) composite material. The packaging bag can enclose the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 within the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 12.

[0035] Specifically, the packaging bag includes a film and a vacuum port formed by the film. In use, the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 is first placed inside the film, and the edges of the film are sealed to form the packaging bag. A vacuum port is provided on one side of the packaging bag. Using a vacuum packaging machine, the packaging bag can be vacuumed through this port. Finally, the vacuum port is sealed, thus placing the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 in a vacuum environment.

[0036] In practice, the packaging bag can be a disposable bag, meaning that once the bag is opened, it is discarded because it cannot be vacuum-sealed again. For example, the air extraction port can be set to be small, requiring the port to be broken each time the bag is opened to remove the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12.

[0037] In one embodiment, the vent can be set to be relatively large, serving not only to vacuum the packaging bag but also as an opening for removing or inserting the already opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12. This allows the packaging bag to be reused multiple times, reducing waste and further lowering storage costs.

[0038] In practice, the size of the isolation unit 1 can be set according to actual needs. The same isolation unit 1 can be used to store only one quick-drying ink cartridge, or it can be used to store two or more quick-drying ink cartridges.

[0039] In practice, the shape of the isolation unit 1 is not limited. For example, it can be a cuboid, a cube, a cylinder, etc., as long as it can accommodate the quick-drying ink cartridge.

[0040] In one embodiment, each isolation unit 1 is used to accommodate only one quick-drying ink cartridge. In this case, the isolation unit 1 has only one quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11, and the isolation unit 1 is small in size, sufficient to accommodate only one quick-drying ink cartridge. Specifically, taking a rectangular shape as an example, the size of the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11 can be 10cm × 8cm.

[0041] In another embodiment, one isolation unit 1 can be used to accommodate two or more quick-drying ink cartridges. In this case, the isolation unit 1 may have only one quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11, with two or more quick-drying ink cartridges located within this single quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11. Alternatively, the isolation unit 1 may have two or more quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavities 11, with the two or more quick-drying ink cartridges located in different quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavities 11.

[0042] When two or more quick-drying ink cartridges are located in the same quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11, the two or more quick-drying ink cartridges correspond to the same air extraction port. At this time, the air extraction port can also be used to remove or place quick-drying ink cartridges from the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11, so as to avoid the remaining quick-drying ink cartridges being unable to be stored when one quick-drying ink cartridge is removed. Specifically, taking the shape of the isolation unit 1 as a rectangle, if the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11 is used to accommodate three quick-drying ink cartridges, then the size of the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11 should be larger than the size of the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity when a single quick-drying ink cartridge can only be stored, but smaller than the sum of the sizes of three quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavities when each can only store one quick-drying ink cartridge. For example, the size of the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11 at this time can be 25cm × 20cm.

[0043] When two or more quick-drying ink cartridges are located in different quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavities 11 within the same isolation unit 1, the outer edges of adjacent quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavities 11 can be connected to each other to form a whole. Within this isolation unit 1, each quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11 has a vacuum port. This vacuum port can be used solely for evacuating the quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11, or it can simultaneously be used as an opening for removing or inserting quick-drying ink cartridges from the corresponding quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11. For example, taking a rectangular shape for each quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11, the dimensions of each quick-drying ink cartridge receiving cavity 11 can be 30cm × 24cm.

[0044] It has been verified that using the isolation unit 1 to store the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 allows the opened quick-drying ink cartridge 12 to be used once more, that is, one quick-drying ink cartridge can be used twice. This can significantly improve the service life of the quick-drying ink cartridge and reduce material waste of the quick-drying ink cartridge.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, in order to further improve the service life of the quick-drying ink cartridge and further reduce material waste of the quick-drying ink cartridge, refer to Figure 2 The quick-drying ink cartridge storage device may further include: an isolation cabinet 2. The isolation cabinet 2 is used to store the isolation unit 1 containing the quick-drying ink cartridges.

[0046] By placing the isolation unit 1 containing the quick-drying ink cartridges inside the isolation cabinet 2, the opened quick-drying ink cartridges can be further isolated from the air, thus achieving a better isolation effect between the opened quick-drying ink cartridges and the air, thereby further extending the service life of the quick-drying ink cartridges and further reducing material waste of the quick-drying ink cartridges.

[0047] Specifically, the isolation cabinet 2 may include: a cabinet body 21, and an isolation unit receiving cavity 22. The isolation unit 1 is located within the isolation unit receiving cavity 22.

[0048] In specific implementations, the shape of the cabinet 21 is not limited; for example, it can be a cuboid or a cube. The cabinet 21 has a door, and the interior of the cabinet 21 forms an isolation unit receiving cavity 22. The isolation unit receiving cavity 22 can be opened or closed through the door. When the isolation unit receiving cavity 22 is closed, it forms a sealed cavity, thus facilitating the reception of the isolation unit 1.

[0049] In a specific implementation, the isolation cabinet 2 may further include: multiple isolation plates 23, which are located inside the isolation unit receiving cavity 22, thereby dividing the isolation unit receiving cavity 22 into multiple sub-cavities, each of which can be used to receive the isolation unit 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, each sub-cavity may be provided with an independent cabinet door, thereby allowing each sub-cavity to be opened independently and avoiding affecting the isolation unit 1 stored in other sub-cavities.

[0051] In some embodiments, the size of each sub-cavity can be set according to actual needs. For example, each sub-cavity can store only 10 isolation units 1, thereby ensuring that the isolation effect of the isolation units 1 in each sub-cavity does not affect each other when the number of isolation units 1 is large.

[0052] In practice, various methods can be used within each sub-cavity to isolate the isolation unit 1 from the external air; no restrictions are imposed here. The methods used to isolate the isolation unit 1 from the external air in each sub-cavity can be the same or different.

[0053] In one embodiment, an inert gas, such as helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), or krypton (Kr), can be filled into the sub-cavity. The inert gas can surround the isolation unit, thereby isolating the isolation unit from the outside air.

[0054] In one embodiment, considering that nitrogen is often used as a process gas in semiconductor plants, the sub-cavity can be filled with nitrogen to achieve the purpose of preventing oxidation, thereby facilitating the storage of opened quick-drying ink cartridges in the semiconductor plant.

[0055] In practice, the isolation cabinet 2 has a passage for the introduction and removal of inert gas, which can be controlled by a solenoid valve.

[0056] In practical implementation, each sub-cavity of the isolation cabinet 2 can also be equipped with a humidity sensor. This humidity sensor can detect the humidity of the inert gas within its sub-cavity. The humidity of the inert gas is closely related to its purity.

[0057] Taking nitrogen as an example, after filling the sub-cavity with high-purity nitrogen, the humidity inside the sub-cavity will decrease, and the oxygen content will also decrease accordingly. For instance, when the ambient temperature is 24℃, the ambient humidity is 60% RH, and the ambient oxygen content is 20.8%, after filling the sub-cavity with high-purity nitrogen, the humidity inside the nitrogen tank drops to 40% RH, and the oxygen content drops to 15.5%. When the humidity inside the sub-cavity drops to 25% RH, the oxygen content inside the sub-cavity is 11%. When the humidity inside the sub-cavity drops to 7% RH, the oxygen content inside the sub-cavity is 3.5%.

[0058] Therefore, humidity control within the isolation cabinet is crucial. A strong low-humidity isolation cabinet can quickly restore humidity, ensuring that the humidity inside the cabinet is unaffected by ambient temperature and humidity, thereby reducing the risk of oxidation of opened quick-drying ink cartridges.

[0059] In one embodiment of this utility model, when nitrogen is filled into the sub-cavity, the humidity of the nitrogen in the isolation cabinet should be less than 25%, thereby ensuring the isolation effect.

[0060] It has been verified that opened quick-drying ink cartridges packaged in vacuum bags can be reused up to 3 times when placed in a nitrogen-filled isolation cabinet, greatly improving the utilization rate and lifespan of the quick-drying ink cartridges and increasing their lifespan by 200%.

[0061] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the quick-drying ink cartridge storage device has an isolation unit that can accommodate an opened quick-drying ink cartridge and isolate the accommodated quick-drying ink cartridge from the air, thereby extending the service life of the quick-drying ink cartridge.

[0062] Furthermore, placing the isolation unit containing the quick-drying ink cartridge inside an isolation cabinet can further extend the lifespan of the quick-drying ink cartridge.

[0063] This utility model embodiment also provides a quick-drying ink cartridge structure, which may include: a quick-drying ink cartridge storage device of any of the above embodiments, and a quick-drying ink cartridge stored in the quick-drying ink cartridge storage device.

[0064] In practical use, when marking defective chips, if the quick-drying ink cartridge is unopened, it should be opened and placed inside the chip marking device. The chip marking unit within the device will then use the ink from the quick-drying cartridge to mark the defective chips. After marking, the opened quick-drying ink cartridge can be manually removed from the device and placed in an isolation unit. This isolation unit is then stored, sealed, and placed in an isolation cabinet. Before the next marking of defective chips, the opened quick-drying ink cartridge can be removed and placed back into the chip marking device for marking.

[0065] Using the quick-drying ink cartridge storage device in this embodiment, one quick-drying ink cartridge can be reused three times, greatly extending the service life of the quick-drying ink cartridge and reducing ink waste.

[0066] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
