The connecting pipe 16 is connected to the original liquid bottle 9, the second liquid cavity 901 for loading medium is arranged in the inside of the original liquid bottle 9, and the outlet end of the connecting pipe 16 extends into the bottom of the second liquid cavity 901. An air outlet pipe 17 is also provided on the top of the original liquid bottle 9. A third valve 19 is connected to the air outlet pipe 17, a liquid level sensor 902 is arranged in the original liquid bottle 9, and a controller (not shown in the figure) is also included. The first valve 121, the second valve 131, the pneumatic tee valve 132, the third valve 19, and the liquid level sensor are all connected to the controller. Here, the third valve 19 is also a pneumatic tee valve. By using the pneumatic tee valve, there is an interlocking relationship in the physical structure, which prevents mistakes.
[0018] In this embodiment, a pressure regulating valve 122 and a pressure detector 123 are also connected to the first pressurizing pipe 12. With this structure, the first pressurizing pipe 122 is connected to a gas source, and the carrier gas enters the liquid supplement bottle 10 after pressure regulation by the pressure regulating valve 122, so as to avoid damage to subsequent components caused by excessive pressure. The pressure detector can detect the size of the carrier gas pressure. Here, the carrier gas can be nitrogen.
[0019] In this embodiment, the volume of the liquid supplement bottle 10 is greater than the volume of the original liquid bottle 9. The volume of the liquid supplement bottle 10 is 16L. The volume of the original liquid bottle 9 is 1L. The original liquid bottle 9 is a quartz bottle.
[0020] A constant temperature container 18 is also included. The constant temperature container 18 has a cavity 181 with an open top. The stock solution bottle 9 is located in the cavity 181. The constant temperature container 18 is internally provided with a heating sheet, a control circuit board, and a temperature level switch. In this way, the temperature is controlled by the temperature level switch, and the temperature of the medium in the stock solution bottle placed in the cavity 181 is controlled, so as to meet the technical process of the subsequent machine. Here, the constant temperature container is prior art, and will not be described in detail.
[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the first liquid outlet pipe 13 is connected to the first liquid inlet pipe 12. The first liquid outlet pipe 13 is connected to the first liquid inlet pipe 12 through a first liquid outlet valve 131. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the first liquid outlet pipe 13 is connected to the first liquid inlet pipe 12. The first liquid outlet pipe 13 is connected to the first liquid inlet pipe 12 through a first liquid outlet valve 131.
[0022] A purge pipe 23 is also provided in the outlet expansion container 20. The purge pipe 23 is connected to the corresponding branch liquid outlet pipe 22 through a plurality of purge branch pipes 24. The purge pipe 23 is sequentially connected to a third manual valve 231, a one-way valve 232, and a pressure gauge 233. Each of the purge branch pipes 24 is connected to a fourth manual valve 241. When performing the purge operation, the purge pipe 23 is connected to the carrier gas source, the third manual valve and the corresponding fourth manual valve 241 are opened, and if it is necessary to blow the residual liquid in the pipe into the stock solution bottle, the corresponding second manual valve 221 is closed, so that the carrier gas carries the residual liquid in the pipe into the corresponding stock solution bottle. Conversely, if it is necessary to blow the residual liquid in the pipe into the stock solution bottle, the first manual valve 211 and the corresponding second manual valve 221 are opened, so that the carrier gas carries the residual liquid into the stock solution bottle.
[0023] The above is a precursor medium supply device, and its working mode is as follows:
[0024] In use, the thermostat container 18 is started to control the temperature of the medium in the original liquid bottle, so that the medium can reach the required temperature condition in the subsequent process. The pneumatic three-way valve 132 is switched to the gas circuit, and the carrier gas enters the second liquid cavity through the second pressurizing pipe 15, the connecting pipe 16, and the liquid medium, and then the carrier gas will be in the form of a bubble from the liquid medium, and the surface of the bubble will be attached to the liquid medium, and then enter the machine terminal through the gas outlet pipe 17. At the same time, the liquid level sensor 902 continuously monitors the liquid level of the medium in the original liquid bottle. As the liquid medium is continuously consumed, when the liquid level sensor detects that the medium in the original liquid bottle needs to be replenished, the liquid level sensor 902 sends a signal, and the controller controls the first valve 121 and the second valve 131 to open, and controls the pneumatic three-way valve 132 to switch the liquid circuit, and the medium in the liquid supplement bottle is supplied to the original liquid bottle 9 through the first liquid outlet pipe 13 by means of gas pressure.
[0025] In summary, the liquid level sensor detects the liquid level of the medium in the original liquid bottle in the utility model, and when it is detected that the original liquid bottle needs to be replenished, the liquid level sensor sends a signal, and the controller controls the first valve and the second valve to open, and controls the pneumatic three-way valve to switch the liquid circuit, and the medium in the liquid supplement bottle is supplied to the original liquid bottle through the first liquid outlet pipe by means of gas pressure. In this way, through the automatic redistribution of the liquid supplement bottle, the replacement of the original liquid bottle by the maintenance personnel is reduced to once the replacement of the liquid supplement bottle, and the work efficiency is greatly improved. In addition, the medium is in the thermostat container, and the terminal use amount can be supplemented in time, and the temperature change in the original liquid bottle is smaller than that after the whole bottle is replaced.
[0026] The above describes one embodiment of the utility model in detail, but the content described is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and cannot be considered as limiting the scope of the utility model. Any equivalent changes and improvements within the scope of the utility model application should still belong to the patent coverage range of the utility model.
