Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas control technology, and in particular to a controller that can adjust gas flow rate. Background Technology
[0002] Adjustable gas flow controllers, also known as mass flow controllers (MFCs), are indispensable key equipment in industries such as semiconductors, photovoltaics, and vacuum coating. With the increasing demand for high-precision, high-stability gas flow control in these industries, MFC technology has matured significantly. MFCs utilize advanced MEMS flow chip technology, combined with high-precision digital control circuits and algorithms, to achieve high-precision, high-stability control over a wide temperature range. Their features include high signal-to-noise ratio, fast response speed, excellent rangeability, and independence from installation location, providing a reliable and applicable solution for gas supply systems in industrial environments and laboratories.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent (CN215987033U) discloses a gas flow controller that solves the following problems: In the use of some traditional devices, a pressure transmitter is set on the valve body to convert parameters such as gas pressure in the valve body into electric signals. The electric signals are transmitted to the process controller, and the process controller sends instructions to the actuator. The actuator adjusts parameters such as gas flow rate and density in the valve body, thereby achieving the effect of precise control of gas flow rate. The above devices are controlled by circuits. When the device is powered off, it is easy for the device to fail to open and close in time, resulting in low reliability. At the same time, the device is not convenient for controlling the flow rate, and its practicality is low.
[0004] The device includes a mounting base and a housing. The housing is fixedly connected to the mounting base. An isolation plate is fixedly connected inside the housing, and a vent hole is provided on the isolation plate. A rotating hole is provided on the housing, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the rotating hole. A nut is connected to the top of the rotating rod, and a baffle is connected to the bottom of the rotating rod inside the housing. An adjusting plate is connected to the bottom of the baffle through the isolation plate via a connecting rod. A spring is sleeved on the connecting rod. The adjusting plate is provided with multiple adjusting holes. The adjusting plate slides against the inner wall of the housing. The housing includes an upper shell cover and a lower shell cover, which are connected to each other by multiple bolts. An exhaust port is provided on the upper shell cover, and an exhaust pipe is connected inside the exhaust port. This facilitates adjustment of the device when the power is off, and also facilitates control of the gas flow rate, improving reliability and practicality.
[0005] When using the above technology, the following technical problems were found in the existing technology: the device lacks a precise adjustment structure, which leads to deviations in gas flow, thereby affecting the accuracy of production or experimental results.

[0039] This invention provides an adjustable gas flow controller. Through the design of the adjustment and rotation structures, the device achieves highly stable control of repetitive flow rates, maintaining a constant flow rate for extended periods. This is particularly important for industrial processes requiring long-term operation.

This is of great significance for scenarios requiring rapid response to flow changes, such as emergency shutdowns and flow adjustments.
[0040] The usage process of the adjustable gas flow controller provided by this utility model is as follows: The user places the device in the desired location and then installs it using the mounting block 2 and bolts 3. The user pulls the handle 20, which in turn moves the pull rod 23 and rack 22, causing the rack 22 to disengage from the gear 21 and compress the spring 24. The user then energizes the second motor 17, which drives the worm gear 18 to rotate. Since one side of the worm gear 18 is meshed with a worm wheel 19, the rotation of the worm gear 18 drives the worm wheel 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating column 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating column 4 drives the turntable 5 to rotate. The user then energizes the first motor 7, which drives the first bevel gear 8 to rotate. Since one side of the first bevel gear 8 is meshed with a second bevel gear 9, the first bevel gear 8... The rotation drives the second bevel gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 10 and the screw 11 to rotate. Since the screw 11 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw sleeve 12, the rotation of the screw 11 causes the screw 11 to slide and rise and fall inside the turntable 5, and causes the patch 13 to disengage from the contact connection with the top of the control tube 1. The rotation of the turntable 5 drives the patch 13 to rotate. After the appropriate angle adjustment is completed, the user causes the first motor 7 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby lowering the patch 13 and restoring the contact connection between the patch 13 and the control tube 1. This allows the airflow to flow out controllably through the inner side of the control tube 1. In summary, this utility model brings significant advantages such as high-precision control, stability, fast response, compatibility and expandability, durability and reliability, and ease of operation and maintenance. These advantages make this type of controller have broad application prospects in industrial production, scientific research and other fields.
