Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical technology, and more specifically, to a connector and a heating device. Background Technology

[0002] In semiconductor manufacturing, where high temperatures are required, a power supply is typically used to electrically connect the heater to the process, heating it to meet the necessary temperature levels. To ensure a stable power supply to the heater, connectors are commonly used to link the power supply and the heater. However, during power supply, the heater generates significant heat due to its high-power operation, causing thermal expansion of the heater's plug and the connector's socket. This thermal expansion can lead to carbonization and adhesion, damaging the heater's plug. This not only affects the heater's normal operation but also increases equipment maintenance or replacement costs, negatively impacting process stability and economic efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a connector and heating device that can reduce the probability of damage to the heater plug and the first socket that connects to the heater plug due to excessive temperature, extend the service life of the heater and connector, reduce costs, and extend the normal operating time of the machine.

[0026] Regarding one aspect of the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A connector 100 is provided, including a connector body 110 and a first socket 120 and a second socket 130 respectively connected to the connector body 110. The first socket 120 is used to connect a heater plug 210, and the second socket 130 is used to connect a power plug 310. A circuit board 140 is provided inside the connector body 110. The first socket 120 is electrically connected to the second socket 130 through the circuit board 140. A first inert metal layer 150 is plated on the inner wall surface of the first socket 120.

[0027] Connector 100 is used to connect heater 200 and power supply 300. Connector 100 includes connector body 110, on which a first socket 120 and a second socket 130 are provided, both exposed above the connector body 110. Circuit board 140 is provided inside connector body 110, and the first socket 120 and the second socket 130 are electrically connected through circuit board 140. The first socket 120 is also used to connect to heater plug 210, which, after being inserted into the first socket 120, is electrically connected to circuit board 140 through the first socket 120. The second socket 130 is also used to connect to power plug 310, which, after being inserted into the second socket 130, is electrically connected to circuit board 140 through the second socket 130. Thus, the connector 100 enables the electrical connection between heater 200 and power supply 300.

[0028] The inner wall of the first socket 120 is plated with a first inert metal layer 150. The first inert metal layer 150 can reduce the contact resistance and contact temperature between the heater plug 210 and the first socket 120, thereby reducing the probability of arcing and carbonization between them. This reduces the probability of the heater plug 210 and the first socket 120 being damaged due to excessive temperature, extends the service life of the heater 200 and the connector 100, reduces costs, and extends the normal operating time of the machine.

[0029] Optionally, the first inert metal layer 150 is a gold plating layer.

[0030] The gold plating layer on the inner wall of the first socket 120 reduces the contact resistance and contact temperature between the heater plug 210 and the first socket 120. Furthermore, the gold plating layer is heat-resistant and remains stable in high-temperature environments, protecting the first socket 120 from damage even if the temperature of the heater plug 210 rises. Therefore, the gold plating layer effectively reduces the probability of damage to the heater plug 210 and the first socket 120 due to excessive temperature, extending the service life of the heater 200 and the connector 100. In addition, the gold plating layer has good conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the heater plug 210 and the first socket 120.

[0031] Optionally, the inner wall surface of the second socket 130 is plated with a second inert metal layer 160.

[0032] The second inert metal layer 160 can reduce the contact resistance and contact temperature between the power plug 310 and the second socket 130, thereby reducing the probability of arcing and carbonization between them. This reduces the probability of the power plug 310 and the second socket 130 being damaged due to overheating, extends the service life of the power supply 300 and the connector 100, reduces costs, and extends the normal operating time of the machine.

[0033] Optionally, the second inert metal layer 160 is a gold plating layer.

[0034] The gold plating on the inner wall of the second socket 130 reduces the contact resistance and temperature between the power plug 310 and the second socket 130. The gold plating is also heat-resistant and stable in high-temperature environments, protecting the second socket 130 from damage even if the power plug 310's temperature rises. Therefore, the gold plating effectively reduces the likelihood of damage to the power plug 310 and the second socket 130 due to overheating, extending the lifespan of the power supply 300 and connector 100. Furthermore, the gold plating has good conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the power plug 310 and the second socket 130.

[0035] Optionally, at least one heat dissipation hole 111 is provided on the surface of the connector body 110 to allow the heat from the circuit board 140 to be discharged from the heat dissipation hole 111.

[0036] The surface of the connector body 110 is provided with heat dissipation holes 111, which penetrate the surface of the connector body 110 to connect the interior of the connector body 110 with the outside world, so that the heat dissipated by the circuit board 140 during operation can be discharged through the heat dissipation holes 111, and the circuit board 140 can be cooled better.

[0037] Furthermore, there are multiple heat dissipation holes 111, which are distributed in a rectangular array on the surface of the connector body 110, thereby enabling the heat generated by the circuit board 140 to be dissipated better.

[0038] Furthermore, multiple heat dissipation holes 111 are provided on both surfaces of the connector body 110 that are opposite to the board surface of the circuit board 140, so as to dissipate heat from both sides of the circuit board 140 at the same time.

[0039] Optionally, a fan 170 is provided on the connector body 110, and the air outlet of the fan 170 is connected to the interior of the connector body 110.

[0040] Fan 170 blows air into the connector body 110, thereby dissipating heat from the circuit board 140 inside the connector body 110. For example, the air outlet of fan 170 is aligned with the heat dissipation hole 111 on the connector body 110, and fan 170 blows air into the connector body 110 through the heat dissipation hole 111.

[0041] Optionally, a threaded structure is provided on the inner wall surface of the first socket 120.

[0042] After the heater plug 210 is inserted into the first socket 120, it is secured by a bolt engaging with the threaded structure inside the first socket 120. This design ensures a more stable current between the heater plug 210 and the first socket 120, preventing electric arcs from forming between them and affecting their service life.

[0043] Optionally, a threaded structure is provided on the inner wall surface of the second socket 130.

[0044] After the power plug 310 is inserted into the second socket 130, it is secured by a bolt engaging with the threaded structure inside the second socket 130. This design ensures a more stable current flow between the power plug 310 and the second socket 130, preventing arcing that could affect the lifespan of both devices.

[0045] In another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a heating device is provided, including a heater 200 and a connector 100 as described in any of the preceding claims, wherein the heater 200 socket of the heater 200 is connected to the first socket 120 of the connector 100.

[0046] The heating device has the same structure and beneficial effects as the connector 100 in the foregoing embodiments. The structure and beneficial effects of the connector 100 have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
