Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this patent belongs. The terms "first", "second", and similar terms do not imply any order, quantity, or importance, but are used to distinguish one element from another, and are used only to assist with description of the exemplary embodiments.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment provides a back flushing system of a polysilicon tail gas adsorption device, which comprises:

[0048] a hydrogen pipeline 1;

[0049] a nitrogen pipeline 2, the output end of the nitrogen pipeline 2 being connected with the output end of the hydrogen pipeline 1;

[0050] a heating assembly 3, the input end of the heating assembly 3 being connected with the output end of the nitrogen pipeline 2 and the output end of the hydrogen pipeline 1;

[0051] an adsorption assembly 4, the output end of the adsorption assembly 4 being connected with the output end of the heating assembly 3;

[0052] a tail gas recovery system 5, the input end of the tail gas recovery system 5 being connected with the output end of the adsorption assembly 4.

[0053] The hydrogen pipeline 1 is used to supply hydrogen, and the nitrogen pipeline 2 is used to supply nitrogen. The hydrogen and nitrogen are supplied in stages, so that the adsorbed waste gas in the adsorption assembly 4 can be blown away by the back flushing gas (hydrogen and nitrogen) as much as possible and then recycled in the tail gas recovery system 5. In addition, the heating assembly 3 can activate the adsorption assembly 4, so as to improve the efficiency of back flushing the adsorbed waste gas as much as possible.

[0054] In addition, the two kinds of hydrogen and nitrogen are used for back flushing in the utility model, so that the nitrogen can replace a part of the supply of hydrogen. Since the price of hydrogen is higher and more energy is consumed in the generation of hydrogen, the supply of nitrogen in the utility model can save the supply cost and the corresponding energy consumption.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The heating assembly 3 comprises a plurality of heating units 31, and all the heating units 31 are connected in series. The series-connected heating units 31 can create a pipeline with a temperature gradient rising, so that the gas (such as hydrogen and nitrogen) passing through the pipeline is gradually heated when passing through each heating unit 31, which helps to more uniformly heat and reduce hot spots.

[0056] In addition, since the heating units 31 are split into multiple, efficient heat recovery can be achieved; specifically, in the case of two heating units 31, the first heating unit 31 can be a heat exchanger, and the second heating unit 31 can be an electric heater; in this case, the heat exchanger can preheat the passing gas through the waste heat of other production processes, reducing the energy loss of the electric heater. Figure 1

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 one side of the heating assembly 3 is also provided with a bypass line 32, one end of the bypass line 32 is connected to the inlet end of the heating assembly 3, and the other end of the bypass line 32 is connected to multiple branch lines 321; each branch line 321 is connected between every two heating units 31. The present application allows each heating unit 31 in the system of the heating assembly 3 to be more independently controlled by setting the bypass line 32, and specific heating units 31 can be enabled or closed as needed to adapt to different heating needs; specifically, taking Figure 1 60℃ as an example, the gas can only pass through the first heating unit 31, and when heating to 180℃ is required, only the second heating unit 31 is needed.

[0058] Further, each heating unit 31 can be electrically connected to the control unit 7; the control unit 7 can flexibly turn on or off specific heating units 31 to adapt to different heating needs.

[0059] Taking Figure 1 as an example, there are actually two lines for the gas to reach 180℃; the first is to make the gas pass through two heating units 31 in succession, so as to reach 180℃, that is, first heated to 60℃, and then heated to 180℃; the second is to pass through the second heating unit 31 through the bypass line 32, so as to reach 180℃; therefore, the present application can effectively provide two ways to achieve the required high temperature condition, that is, the energy-saving mode of the first line, and the mode of quickly reaching the required temperature of the second line, so that the operator can choose according to actual needs.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 the bypass line 32 is provided with a first switch valve 61, and each branch line 321 is provided with a second switch valve (not shown in the figure), and all first switch valves 61 and all second switch valves are electrically connected to the control unit 7. By providing a second switch valve in the bypass line 32 and each branch line 321, the operator can independently control the enablement and closure of the gas to each heating unit 31, that is, in the case of control failure of the heating unit 31, the control of the gas flow can be ensured, further improving the safety factor.

[0061] ​In a preferred embodiment, the hydrogen pipeline 1 and the nitrogen pipeline 2 are each provided with a third switch valve 63, and all the third switch valves 63 are electrically connected to the control unit 7. Through the connection of the control unit 7, the supply of hydrogen and nitrogen can be centrally managed, realizing automatic control and improving operational efficiency. That is, the operator can remotely control the opening and closing of the valve in the control room, without the need to operate on site, improving safety and convenience. In addition, due to the flammable and explosive nature of hydrogen, if a leak or system failure is detected, the control unit 7 can quickly cut off the gas supply to prevent the accident from spreading.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the adsorption assembly 4 includes a plurality of adsorption units 41 connected in parallel; the inlet end of the adsorption unit 41 is connected to the material gas inlet 42, and the outlet of the adsorption unit 41 is connected to the material gas outlet 43. The arrangement of multiple adsorption units 41 can work simultaneously, improving the adsorption efficiency of chlorosilane and other impurities and ensuring that impurities in the tail gas are effectively removed; in addition, if a certain adsorption unit 41 needs to be maintained or replaced, other units can still continue to work, which improves the reliability of the system and the flexibility of operation. Specifically, waste gas excluded by other processes, such as chlorosilane and other impurities, will enter from the material gas inlet 42 and then be discharged from the material gas outlet 43; this work will be completed before the backflushing work begins.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the outlet end of the heating assembly 3 is provided with a temperature detector 33, and the temperature detector 33 is electrically connected to the control unit 7. The temperature detector 33 is connected to the control unit 7 through electronic communication, so that the monitoring data can be transmitted to the control system in a timely manner. By precisely controlling the temperature, energy waste can be avoided and heating efficiency can be improved.

[0064] In addition, the control unit 7 can use a programmable logic controller (PLC) to realize precise control of the entire system; the PLC can be electrically connected to the temperature detector 33, the PLC can collect temperature data in real time, and ensure that the temperature of the gas in the heating assembly 3 meets the process requirements; the PLC can automatically control the start and stop of the heating unit 31, automatically adjust the heating power according to the feedback of the temperature sensor 33; and by controlling the various development valves, the flow direction of the gas flow can be controlled. In addition, the PLC is usually equipped with an operation panel and a display, so that the operator can easily check the system status, adjust the settings and manually override the automatic control. The utility model mainly describes the control steps of the various pipelines and heating units, so the electrical connection of the PLC and the components will not be described again, and the connection structure of the existing PLC and electrical components can be referred to.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the tail gas recovery system 5 comprises a regenerative condensing system 51 and a waste gas pipe network 52; the inlet end of the regenerative condensing system 51 and the waste gas pipe network 52 are connected to the inlet end of the adsorption assembly 4; a fourth switch valve 64 is respectively arranged between the regenerative condensing system 51 and the waste gas pipe network 52 and the adsorption assembly 4, and all the fourth switch valves 64 are electrically connected to the control unit 7. By controlling the fourth switch valve 64, the operator can adjust the processing flow of the tail gas according to the process requirements, for example, the tail gas can be directly discharged to the waste gas pipe network 52 or processed and recovered through the regenerative condensing system 51.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, a heat exchanger is arranged at the regenerative condensing system 51, which can utilize the waste heat in the system to preheat the gas in the regenerative condensing system, thereby reducing energy consumption. In addition, through effective heat exchange, the dependence on external energy can be reduced, and the operation cost of the system can be reduced. An air cooler is arranged at the waste gas pipe network 52. The air cooler can effectively cool the waste gas and improve the condensing efficiency.
