Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chemical liquid valves, and in particular to a pneumatic constant pressure diaphragm valve for conveying chemical liquids in semiconductor manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pressure regulating valves are mostly used in the gas medium field, primarily as pressure reducing valves, and some as exhaust safety valves. The structure of these valves can be standardized so that when the inlet pressure is less than the valve core opening pressure, the fluid flows out normally; when the inlet pressure is greater than the valve core opening pressure, the valve core opens, and the fluid flows out. However, in reality, these pressure regulating valves, or gas pressure stabilizing valves, do not actually stabilize the pressure of the inflowing fluid while simultaneously stabilizing the output pressure. Furthermore, the current structural design of pressure regulating valves is mostly only suitable for gas media, not for fluid media, especially liquids with high viscosity coefficients.

[0003] Extensive research revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN106352124B, which discloses a pressure regulating valve. This valve provides a mechanism for switching between intake, cut-off, and reverse exhaust based on intake pressure. It comprises several components, including a sealed main pressure regulating seat, valve body, valve seat, main valve core, auxiliary valve core, main pressure regulating shaft, main pressure regulating cap, main pressure regulating spring, auxiliary pressure regulating spring, auxiliary valve cover, auxiliary valve body, and diaphragm. The valve body has a front port and a rear port. Its main working principle is as follows: when the pressure at the front port is greater than the opening pressure of the main valve core, airflow flows from the front port to the rear port, achieving intake. When the pressure at the front port decreases from the opening pressure, airflow flows from the rear port to the front port, achieving reverse exhaust. When the pressure at the front port is between the opening pressures of the main valve core and the auxiliary valve core, the air path is cut off. In the relevant patent, because the spring assembly is assembled inside the valve cavity, the reciprocating motion of the spring and the contact friction surface between the spring and the valve body pose a risk of particle shedding. Secondly, the spring assembly is completely exposed to the fluid medium, posing a risk of corrosion by the fluid medium. This operating condition does not meet the cleanliness requirements of the semiconductor field. Furthermore, this patent uses the difference between the inlet pressure and the valve seat closing force to determine the flow direction of the gas medium, which does not achieve the effect of stabilizing the fluid medium pressure; therefore, it is not suitable for fluid medium pressure stabilization conditions.

[0004] Extensive research revealed Chinese patent publication number CN115962326A, which discloses a pressure regulating valve. This valve provides a method for adjusting the opening pressure as needed to improve the accuracy of pressure regulating valve operation. It presents a pressure regulating valve with a piston-like structure. This valve determines the flow direction of the medium by the relationship between the fluid medium and the valve core opening pressure. Secondly, it adjusts the opening pressure by regulating the spring pressure to control the valve core opening pressure. In related technologies, the adjusting screw is an external drive component, and the valve core opening is adjusted by regulating the spring pressure. This operation is "externally driven," a common concept in pressure regulating valves, and this method cannot precisely regulate pressure. Furthermore, in related technologies, if the inlet pressure is limited, the valve structure cannot achieve medium discharge. Additionally, the connection between the conical plug and the sliding plate relies entirely on the support spring, whose axial movement cannot be guaranteed to be linear. Moreover, since the spring is horizontally positioned, the linear reciprocating motion of the spring cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the sealing performance of this valve needs further investigation.

[0005] Extensive searching revealed Chinese patent publication number CN203823224U, which discloses a gas pressure regulating valve that reduces vibration and noise, extending its service life. This related technology employs an "external drive" method, adjusting spring pressure to stabilize the medium pressure; therefore, this structure cannot adjust pressure in real time. Furthermore, to reduce wear, this structure incorporates PEEK plastic between the valve stem and body. However, PEEK plastic is susceptible to damage from strong oxidizing acids (concentrated sulfuric acid), making this solution unsuitable for use in semiconductor valves.

[0006] In summary, existing pressure regulating valves mainly have the following problems:

[0007] 1. The flow channel structure of the valve is only suitable for gaseous media, not for liquid media, especially fluids with a high viscosity coefficient.

[0008] 2. Most pressure regulating valves currently function primarily as pressure relief and venting valves, and cannot dynamically balance fluid pressure.

[0009] 3. Currently, most pressure regulating valves adopt an "external drive" approach as a pressure regulation method.

[0010] 4. The structure of most pressure regulating valves currently available does not meet the cleanliness requirements of the semiconductor industry and is therefore unsuitable for use in the semiconductor field.

[0011] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the designer actively researched and innovated in order to create a pneumatic constant pressure diaphragm valve for conveying chemical liquids in semiconductor manufacturing, so as to make it more industrially valuable. Utility Model Content

The tail of the bolt 16 is installed in the second mounting hole in the mounting base plate 4 by a nut 5. Rubber plugs 3 are installed on the outside of both the first and second mounting holes.

[0054] The first embodiment of this utility model:

[0055] The main body 9 has an inlet and an outlet (i.e., an inlet flow channel 107 and an outlet flow channel 110). With the inlet on the left and the outlet on the right, a positioning groove 100 is designed on the top of the main body 9 for positioning and installation with the top of the actuator 13. The upper interior of the main body 9 has a two-stage stepped design. A sealing rib 102 is designed in the middle of the upper first-stage step 101. This, along with the top of the actuator 13, the upper diaphragm 12, and the main body 9, forms a sealing structure to achieve a seal for the air source power. The lower interior of the main body 9 also has a two-stage stepped design. A sealing rib 102 is designed in the middle of the lower first-stage step 103. This, along with the bottom of the actuator 6, the lower double-headed diaphragm 8, and the main body 9, forms a sealing structure to achieve a seal for the fluid medium. A central through-hole 105 is designed in the center of the upper second-stage step 104, with the through-hole connecting the upper and lower sections. Meanwhile, an inlet end groove 108 is designed between the inlet end flow channel 107 and the central through hole 105. The opening end of the inlet end groove 108 is on the lower second step 106, and this groove is not continuous. An outlet end groove 109 is designed between the outlet end flow channel 110 and the central through hole 105. The opening end of the outlet end groove 109 is on the upper second step 104, and this groove is not continuous. At this point, the inlet end flow channel 107, the inlet end groove 108, the lower double-headed diaphragm 8, the outlet end groove 109, the upper diaphragm 12, and the outlet end flow channel 110 form a complete flow channel.

[0056] The top part 13 of the actuator: The main function of the top part 13 of the actuator is to seal the valve and position it according to the installation direction. An air inlet 113 is designed on the top part 13 of the actuator as a pressure source. At the same time, a positioning block 111 and a sealing groove 112 are designed at the lower end of the top part 13 of the actuator. By installing an O-ring 10 in the sealing groove 112, the top part 13 of the actuator is connected and sealed to the main body 9 of the mechanism. At the same time, a diaphragm groove is designed below the top part 13 of the actuator. The diaphragm groove and the upper diaphragm 12 form an air chamber.

[0057] The bottom end of the actuator 6 has two cylindrical slots. The larger slot serves as a space for mounting the spring assembly, while the smaller slot, with an outer diameter matching the inner diameter of the inner spring 1, primarily serves to fix and guide the spring assembly. The inner diameter of the smaller slot is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical shaft of the actuator shaft 7, providing mounting space and vertical guidance for the shaft. The cylindrical slots are mainly used to mount the spring assembly, which includes an inner spring 1 and an outer spring 2. The inner spring 1 is fitted inside the outer spring 2, with the inner spring 1 being longer than the outer spring 2. The outer spring 2 has a higher stiffness than the inner spring 1, providing a layered elastic force.

[0058] The sealing assembly mainly includes an upper diaphragm 12, a diaphragm connecting post 11, and a lower double-ended diaphragm 8. It is composed of an actuator shaft 7. The upper diaphragm 12 is installed between the top end 13 of the actuator and the main body 9. The lower double-ended diaphragm 8 is installed between the main body 9 and the bottom end 6 of the actuator. The upper diaphragm 12 and the lower double-ended diaphragm 8 are connected by the diaphragm connecting post 11. The other side of the upper diaphragm 12 is connected to the actuator shaft 7, which is installed in a small cylindrical groove at the bottom end 6 of the actuator.

[0059] The working principle of this pressure regulating valve is as follows: The prerequisite is that the air source pressure equals the elastic force of the spring assembly. When fluid enters the pressure regulating valve from the inlet, the fluid flows through the entire flow channel. At this time, at the lower double-ended diaphragm 8, the fluid applies a downward force F1 to the diaphragm, causing it to move downwards. Simultaneously, the spring assembly applies an upward force P1 to the lower double-ended diaphragm 8. Within the entire valve body cavity, the fluid also applies an upward force F2 to the upper diaphragm 12. At the same time, the air source applies a downward force P2 to the upper diaphragm 12 through the air inlet on the top of the actuator. Through the elastic force of the spring assembly and the pressure of the air source, the fluid pressure is balanced, at which point F1 + P2 = F2 + P1.

[0060] When the inlet fluid pressure increases, F1 increases, the opening degree of the lower double-headed diaphragm 8 decreases and the opening and closing distance increases, and the force F2 exerted by the fluid pressure at the outlet on the upper diaphragm 12 increases. At this time, F1+P2>F2+P1, the opening degree of the upper diaphragm 12 increases and the opening and closing distance decreases, and the outlet fluid pressure decreases, F1+P2=F2+P1.

[0061] When the inlet fluid pressure decreases, F1 decreases, the opening degree of the lower double-headed diaphragm 8 increases and the opening and closing distance decreases, and the force F2 exerted by the fluid pressure at the outlet on the upper diaphragm 12 decreases. At this time, F1+P2<F2+P1, the opening degree of the upper diaphragm 12 decreases and the opening and closing distance increases, and the outlet fluid pressure increases, F1+P2=F2+P1.

[0062] This invention features a suitable flow channel structure, applicable to various media, including fluid and gaseous media.

[0063] This invention uses PTFE, a material currently required in the semiconductor industry, which meets the cleanliness requirements of semiconductor production. Furthermore, elastic components such as the spring assembly are not located within the fluid cavity, ensuring the cleanliness of the fluid area.

[0064] This invention achieves dynamic balancing of fluid pressure through appropriate structural design, thereby enabling stable output of fluid pressure.

[0065] This invention uses a pneumatic power source to regulate pressure, thereby achieving more stable regulation of fluid pressure.
