TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of drip-proof valves, in particular to a kind of drip-proof valves suitable for semiconductor chemical liquid conveying. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pneumatic three-way diaphragm valve, as a kind of switching control valve, has three valve ports, usually a valve inlet and two valve outlets (usually called one-in two-out), switches fluid to different pipelines. In the application of semiconductor production equipment, based on the limited space of precision equipment, the number of pipelines in the equipment, the number of fluid controllers, etc. are also limited. Therefore, the pneumatic three-way diaphragm valve can be used in the form of one valve inlet and two valve outlets to reduce the number of pipeline connection ends of the equipment, thereby saving equipment space.
[0003] After a large amount of retrieval, it was found that Chinese patent publication No. CN2236058Y disclosed a new three-way shunt regulating valve, which included a valve body, a shunt, a regulating rod, and a hand wheel. The shunt regulator has a connected water outlet hole on the front and rear sides of a cylindrical body. By rotating the shunt regulator, the flow direction of the fluid is changed. This structure is the principle of reversing for most three-way valves. Due to the need to rotate the internal regulator, friction occurs between the internal regulator and the valve body, which may generate particulate matter. This structure is not suitable for application in the semiconductor equipment production field.
[0004] After a large amount of retrieval, it was found that Chinese patent publication No. CN217784275U disclosed a wellhead control system hand-operated and automatic pneumatic two-position three-way valve, which included a valve body, an end cap on the top of the valve body, a pressure rod in the center of the top of the end cap, a piston rod slidingly penetrating the end cap at the bottom of the pressure rod, a first spring sleeved on the surface of the bottom of the piston rod, and a first steel ball installed at the bottom of the piston rod. A striker was installed at the bottom of the first steel ball, a second steel ball was installed at the bottom of the striker, a valve core sleeve was installed below the striker and above the second steel ball, a plug was inserted into the bottom of the valve body, and the top of the plug was attached to the bottom of the second steel ball. The middle of the valve body is an outlet, the lower part is an inlet, and the upper part is a discharge port. The three-way valve structure of this patent is only suitable for gaseous media. The three interfaces of the three-way valve mentioned in this patent are arranged in an upper-middle-lower structure, with the upper end as the exhaust port, the middle as the outlet, and the lower part as the inlet. This structure may affect the flow capacity of the valve due to the viscosity coefficient of the fluid and the factors of fluid mechanics for fluid media. At the same time, the spring and other elastic components of this three-way valve structure are exposed to the medium. For chemical liquid media, corrosion, particulate matter, and metal ions may be generated, which is also not suitable for the semiconductor field.
[0005] After a large amount of retrieval, it is found that the Chinese patent publication No. CN114949579B discloses a three-way valve, including a three-way valve body, a plug and a sheet, in this patent, the structure of the three-way valve mentioned, because the material is metal material, it cannot be used in the semiconductor field, secondly, the reversing of the fluid is realized by rotating the plug, there is a risk of generating particulate matter, it is also not suitable for the semiconductor field.
[0006] In summary, the existing three-way valve has the problems of structure design, sealing structure design and material itself, which are not suitable for the semiconductor field. At the same time, the existing three-way valve has the problems of difficult processing of some parts, difficult to achieve the ideal processing level, and the cleanliness inside the valve body does not meet the standard, which is easy to contaminate the chemical liquid. In addition, the existing valve is easy to cause the chemical liquid to flow out during the stop period, which affects the final cleaning effect.

[0041] As Figure 1 The anti-dripping valve for semiconductor chemical liquid conveying from to the anti-dripping valve for semiconductor chemical liquid conveying, including valve body 1, valve body 1 in distribution has the control cavity 2, the control cavity 2 is located in the two sides of valve body 1 distribution has inflow mechanism and outflow mechanism, for the guidance of chemical liquid. It is different from the others: the upper end of valve body 1 is provided with actuator body 3, because the control of the execution tube is carried out. At the same time, the lower end of valve body 1 is provided with automatic back suction lower execution body 4, which is used for participating in the actual control of the release. Specifically, the side surface of actuator body 3 is provided with gas source interface 5, and the upper end of actuator body 3 is provided with upper execution body 6. In this way, the control of the execution tube can be carried out by the gas source, and the control of the flow can be realized by relying on the upper execution body 6. Furthermore, the control shaft 7 is installed in the actuator body 3, and the upper end of the upper diaphragm 8 is in contact with the control shaft 7, which satisfies the pressure control of the cavity at the upper end. During implementation, the lower diaphragm 9 is installed in the automatic back suction lower execution body 4, and the lower diaphragm 9 is connected with the sealing cone 10. During assembly, the contact guide column 19 or the connecting screw can be used to realize the close combination of the two without damaging the air tightness. In addition, the upper end of the sealing cone 10 is in contact with the upper diaphragm 8, and the upper end of the sealing cone 10 is located in the control cavity 2. In this way, the actual control degree of the control cavity 2 can be controlled by the position of the sealing cone 10. Considering the convenience of subsequent assembly, the bottom plate 20 can be installed on the outside of the automatic back suction lower execution body 4. During implementation, the number and position of the gas source interface 5 can be customized according to the response rate of the valve body opening and closing control.
[0042] In combination with a preferred embodiment of the present application, in order to effectively liquid-tightly connect with the corresponding pipeline, the inflow mechanism and the outflow mechanism both include an extension joint. Specifically, the extension joint is externally threadedly connected with a connecting nut 11, the inner side of the connecting nut 11 is provided with an impact ring 12 in contact with the extension joint, and the extension joint is provided with a lock ring 13 at the rear end of the connecting nut 11.

Relying on the existence of the lock ring 13, the connecting nut 11 can realize more stable thread combination.
[0043] Further, in order to meet the effective control of the cavity pressure, the actuator body 3 comprises an execution cavity in the actuator body 3, the lower end of the execution cavity is provided with a guide seat 14, and the upper spring 15 is sleeved on the guide seat 14. Meanwhile, the control shaft 7 is connected to the upper spring 15, and the bottom of the control shaft 7 is in contact with the upper diaphragm 8. In this way, the position of the control shaft 7 is used to limit the limit deformation position of the upper diaphragm 8, and the actual conduction state of the control cavity 2 is controlled by the upper diaphragm 8. Moreover, in order to meet the effective air tightness, the middle section of the control shaft 7 outwardly extends a contact protrusion, the contact protrusion is in contact with the inner wall of the execution cavity, the contact protrusion is provided with a contact groove, and the contact sealing ring 16 is sleeved in the contact groove. Furthermore, in view of the air tightness of the mounting joint, the contact end surface of the actuator body 3 and the upper execution body 6 is distributed with the upper sealing ring 17.
[0044] In combination with the actual implementation, in order to meet the effective automatic back suction and avoid dripping, the utility model adopts the automatic back suction lower execution body 4, which is provided with a receiving groove, and the lower diaphragm 9 is located above the receiving groove. Meanwhile, the receiving groove is distributed with a limiting plug column, the limiting plug column is connected with the lower spring 18, the lower spring 18 is sleeved with the contact guide column 19, and the contact guide column 19 is in contact with the lower diaphragm 9. In this way, the deformation and reset of the lower spring 18 can effectively control the deformation state of the lower diaphragm 9, and meet the back suction effect after self-resetting.
[0045] Further, the upper execution body 6 comprises a contact shaft 21 extending into the actuator body 3. Meanwhile, the upper end of the actuator body 3 is distributed with a guide channel. In order to meet the sealing effect of the contact surface, the contact shaft 21 is sleeved with an auxiliary sealing ring 22, and the auxiliary sealing ring 22 is in contact with the guide channel. Moreover, in order to realize the stroke adjustment of the contact shaft 21, the contact shaft 21 is connected with the knob 23 through the connecting mechanism outside the upper execution body 6. Specifically, the contact shaft 21 is sleeved with a stop ring 24, and the stop ring 24 is located between the knob 23 and the actuator body 3. The stop ring 24 can realize the maximum limit of the stroke adjusted by the knob 23. The connecting mechanism comprises a connecting bolt 25, and the connecting bolt 25 is connected to the contact shaft 21 after being connected to the knob 23. Furthermore, the connecting bolt 25 is respectively provided with a spring washer and a flat washer. In this way, the spring washer can be deformed to press, and the flat washer is matched, so that the connecting bolt 25 drives the knob 23 to be effectively connected to the contact shaft 21.
[0046] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0047] If there is no gas source, the sealing cone 10 makes the lower diaphragm 9 in the original position, and the valve body 1 is in the sealing device.
[0048] If the gas source flows in, the control shaft 7 presses the sealing cone 10 under the control of the gas pressure, and the sealing cone 10 moves downward.
[0049] During this period, if the gas source stops supplying, the upper spring 15 pushes the control shaft 7 upward to reset it.
[0050] At this time, the liquid medicine flows back, and the lower spring 18 pushes the sealing cone 10 body to synchronously push the lower diaphragm 9 to form an effective bottom seal.
[0051] As can be seen from the above description and in combination with the drawings, the valve has the following advantages after the utility model is adopted:
[0052] 1. The valve opening and closing control does not need to participate in electronic components, reduces the occupation of the valve body space, and can adapt to more installation pipelines.
[0053] 2. The mutual cooperation of the lower diaphragm and the upper diaphragm can control the pressure difference in the cavity through the inflow of the gas source to control the conduction, and the response is rapid.

Through the deformation and reset cooperation of different springs, the corresponding diaphragm deformation can be assisted to control, the pressure in the cavity can be accurately controlled, the liquid medicine can be backflowed when the gas source stops, and the valve can be closed in time.
[0055] 4. The valve has better integrity, and can guarantee the liquid-tight and air-tight effects during use.
[0056] 5. The overall structure is simple, and is convenient to assemble and install.
