The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0023] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application.

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] This utility model embodiment provides a pipeline for conveying special gases for semiconductors, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes: a first pipe 1, a second pipe 2 welded to one side of the first pipe 1, and the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 are internally connected; a monitoring component 3 is provided at the weld joint of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2, a sealing component 4 is provided on both sides of the monitoring component 3, and a buffer component 5 is provided on both the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2; the two buffer components 5 each include an outer cylinder 15, and a through hole 16 is opened in the middle of the two outer cylinders 15, through which the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 pass respectively.

[0025] It should be noted that in existing technologies, if the weld joints of pipelines used for transporting special gases in semiconductor manufacturing processes break accidentally during use, the special gases will leak directly. Operators will have no time to react and shut off the transport valves, posing a significant safety hazard. Furthermore, during gas transport, the pipeline itself vibrates under internal stress and fluid impact, easily leading to pipeline damage and affecting its service life. This solution addresses this by installing a buffer assembly 5, connecting the outer cylinder 15 and the pipeline fixing frame. During transport in the first pipeline 1 and the second pipeline 2, vibrations occur and come into contact with the arc-shaped elastic rubber pad 17. The damper 19 and buffer spring 20 buffer and reduce the impact of vibration. A monitoring assembly 3 facilitates monitoring for leaks at the weld joints of the first pipeline 1 and the second pipeline 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rubber sealing tube 7 is provided to facilitate sealing on both sides of the welding point.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the two rubber sealing tubes 7 are in contact with the surfaces of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2, respectively.

[0037] In this embodiment, sealing is facilitated.

[0038] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the two sealing components 4 each include an arc-shaped block 9 at the upper and lower ends of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2, respectively.
