[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present application can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0025] Referring to the drawings Figure 1 The modular ultrahigh-purity semi-automatic gas switching device of the present embodiment includes a mounting plate 10 and left control valve 11, left evacuation valve 12, left pressure reducing valve 13, left pressure gauge 14, right control valve 21, right evacuation valve 22, right pressure reducing valve 23, right pressure gauge 24, low pressure pressure gauge 31, total output valve 32 arranged thereon, and pipelines connecting the valve bodies. It should be noted that the left control valve 11, left evacuation valve 12, left pressure reducing valve 13, left pressure gauge 14, right control valve 21, right evacuation valve 22, right pressure reducing valve 23, right pressure gauge 24, low pressure pressure gauge 31, and total output valve 32 have the same functions as the existing semi-automatic gas switching device, and achieve uninterrupted supply of gas.

[0026] The improvement of the present embodiment lies in that the left control valve 11 and left evacuation valve 12 are an integrated modular structure. Referring to the drawings Figure 2 and 3 As shown in the drawings, the integrated modular structure includes an integrated valve block 101 and left control valve core and left evacuation valve core arranged on the integrated valve block 101. The integrated valve block 101 includes a first gas inlet 102, a first gas outlet 103, and a second gas outlet 104. The integrated valve block 101 is internally provided with a main passage 105 communicating the first gas inlet 102 and the first gas outlet 103, and the left evacuation valve core controls the opening and closing of the main passage 105. The integrated valve block 101 is also internally provided with a branch passage 106 communicating with the main passage 105, and the outlet of the branch passage 106 is the second gas outlet 104, and the left switch valve core controls the opening and closing of the branch passage 106. In use, the first gas inlet 102 is connected to a gas cylinder. When the left control valve core is closed and the left evacuation valve core is opened, gas enters from the first gas inlet 102, passes through the main passage 105, and is discharged from the first gas outlet 103. When the left control valve core is opened and the left evacuation valve core is closed, gas enters from the first gas inlet 102, passes through the branch passage 106, and is discharged from the second gas outlet 104 into the left pressure reducing valve 13.

[0027] The third vent 107 is arranged opposite to the second gas outlet 104 and is in communication with the second gas outlet 104. The third vent 107 can be used as a backup gas outlet of the second gas outlet 104. When the integrated modular structure is used on the left side of the gas switching device, the third vent 107 is used as a gas outlet connected with the left pressure reducing valve 13. At this time, the second gas outlet 104 is plugged. When the integrated modular structure is used on the right side of the gas switching device, the second gas outlet 104 is used as a gas outlet connected with the right pressure reducing valve 23. At this time, the third vent 107 is plugged. The structure can make the integrated valve block be installed without distinction, which is convenient and fast.

[0028] Of course, the third vent 107 can also be used as a second gas inlet for synchronous gas inlet with the first gas inlet 102. The third vent 107 can also be used as other detection expansion ports to improve the expansion function of the switching device.

[0029] More specifically, the integrated valve block 101 adopts a tapered stepped structure. The left control valve core and the left emptying valve core are arranged on two symmetrical tapered surfaces 1011 of the tapered stepped structure. The first gas inlet 102 and the first gas outlet 103 are arranged on two tapered side walls 1012 of the tapered stepped structure, respectively. The second gas outlet 104 and the third vent 107 are arranged on two vertical side walls 1013 of the tapered stepped structure, respectively. The structure of the integrated valve block is scientific and reasonable, which further reduces the dead volume.

[0030] More preferably, the connection between the pipeline and each valve body in the modular ultrahigh-purity semi-automatic gas switching device adopts a metal surface static sealing connection mechanism.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 6, the integrated valve block 101 is arranged in the gas switching device. The first gas inlet 102 is arranged on the left side of the integrated valve block 101. The first gas outlet 103 is arranged on the right side of the integrated valve block 101. The second gas outlet 104 is arranged on the top of the integrated valve block 101. The third vent 107 is arranged on the bottom of the integrated valve block 101. Figure 4The connection between the inlet pipe 1 and the first inlet port 102 of the integrated valve block 101 is shown in the cross-sectional view, and the connection between the outlet pipe 2 and the first outlet port 103 of the integrated valve block 101 is also shown in the cross-sectional view. The metal surface static sealing connection mechanism includes a first convex spherical annular structure 1001 at the end of the inlet pipe and a second convex spherical annular structure 1002 at the bottom end surface of the connecting counterbore of the integrated valve block, and a ring-shaped gasket 1003 is arranged between the first convex spherical annular structure 1001 and the second convex spherical annular structure 1002. The end of the inlet pipe 1 is also sleeved with a threaded nut 1004, and the inner wall of the connecting counterbore of the integrated valve block is provided with an internal thread 1005. The external thread of the threaded nut 1004 is connected with the internal thread 1005 of the connecting counterbore, so that the first convex spherical annular structure 1001 is tightly abutted on one side of the ring-shaped gasket 1003, and the other side of the ring-shaped gasket 1003 is tightly abutted on the second convex spherical annular structure 1002, thereby achieving the metal surface static sealing of the connecting counterbore of the integrated valve block 101 and the inlet pipe 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the R arc radius of the first convex spherical annular structure 1001 and the second convex spherical annular structure 1002 is 0.8 mm. The pipe with this R arc characteristic belongs to a new UHCR connecting pipe, which can better achieve the metal surface sealing effect.

[0033] More specifically, the end of the inlet pipe 1 is also provided with an expansion part 1006, the first convex spherical annular structure 1001 is arranged on the top end side of the expansion part 1006, and the inserted end of the threaded nut 1004 is abutted on the bottom end side of the expansion part 1006, so as to ensure that when the threaded nut 1004 is connected with the connecting counterbore, the first convex spherical annular structure 1001 and the second convex spherical annular structure 1002 are tightly abutted on both sides of the ring-shaped gasket 1003, and the sealing effect is ensured.

[0034] The outer edge diameter of the expansion part 1006 is equal to the hole diameter of the connecting counterbore. Of course, the outer edge diameter of the expansion part 1006 can also be smaller than the hole diameter of the connecting counterbore.

[0035] Similarly, the connection between the outlet pipe 2 and the integrated valve block 101 also adopts the above-mentioned metal surface static sealing connection mechanism. In this embodiment, the connection between all pipes and valve bodies adopts the metal surface static sealing connection mechanism, so that the gas passages in the device are all metal surface static sealing, the full static sealing structure of the gas passages is realized, the gas tightness is ensured, and the installation and disassembly are convenient and fast.

[0036] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in any form. Those skilled in the art can make some simple modifications, equivalent changes or modifications to the disclosed technical contents, and all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
