Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gas cylinder processing technology, specifically relating to a device that can simultaneously process gas cylinders containing different media. Background Technology
[0002] Standard gas is a highly homogeneous, stable, and accurate gas, primarily used for evaluating measurement methods, calibrating instruments and meters, transferring metrological standards, and arbitrating measurement values. Standard gas is typically a mixture of two or more media. In large petrochemical plants, dozens of pure gases and hundreds of multi-component standard gases are required during start-up, shutdown, and normal production processes to calibrate and standardize online analytical instruments and instruments used to analyze raw materials and product quality. Common mixed gases are categorized into general mixed gases and electronic industry mixed gases. General mixed gases include laser mixed gases, welding mixed gases, preservation mixed gases, electric light source mixed gases, medical and biological research mixed gases, disinfection and sterilization mixed gases, leak detection (alarm) mixed gases, high-pressure mixed gases, and zero-grade air, etc. Electronic industry mixed gases are categorized into epitaxial (growth) mixed gases, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) mixed gases, doping mixed gases, etching mixed gases, and other electronic mixed gases, etc. Impurities in other gases have varying degrees of impact on their use. For example, the purity of the component gases in the laser mixture directly affects the performance of the laser. In particular, the presence of impurities such as oxygen, moisture, and hydrocarbons in the gas will lead to the loss of laser output power on the mirror (surface) and electrodes, and will also cause instability in laser emission.
[0003] All the aforementioned gas cylinders require treatment after use to prevent impurities from affecting the purity of the gas after filling. The treatment of mixed gas cylinders, fluorine cylinders, and corrosive gas cylinders is particularly important, as improper treatment can not only cause cylinder contamination but also lead to environmental pollution. Therefore, existing cylinder treatment methods all adopt separate treatment methods: standard gas cylinders are treated separately, mixed gas cylinders are treated separately, and fluorine and corrosive gas cylinders are treated separately. This method not only results in high investment costs but also has the problem of inconvenient operation. Utility Model Content

[0025] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, specific embodiments are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same components. For the sake of simplicity, only the parts related to the utility model are schematically shown in the drawings; they do not represent the actual structure of the product.
[0026] like Figure 1-8As shown, this utility model is a device capable of simultaneously processing gas cylinders containing different media. It includes a first cylinder chamber 1 for processing cylinders containing fluorine-containing gas and mixed gas, and a second cylinder chamber 2 for processing corrosive gas and conventional standard gas. The first cylinder chamber 1 includes a fluorine-containing gas cylinder cavity 3 for placing fluorine-containing gas cylinders and a mixed gas cylinder cavity 4 for placing mixed gas cylinders. The second cylinder chamber 2 includes a corrosive gas cylinder cavity 5, a small conventional standard gas cylinder cavity 6, and a large conventional standard gas cylinder cavity 7. Each of the above cylinder cavities is equipped with an independent heating and lifting unit and a valve array. A balancing gas unit, a venting unit, and a vacuuming unit are respectively connected to the valve array. The essence of this invention lies in integrating the processing systems of independently set-up gas cylinders for different media in traditional technology, and redesigning the entire pipeline according to the properties of different media gases in the cylinders. Based on this, the cylinder chambers are designed to achieve ease of operation, avoid cross-contamination, and be environmentally friendly. It should be particularly noted that this invention can be operated manually or automatically. Since the first cylinder chamber 1 and the second cylinder chamber 2 can hold specific gas cylinders, it facilitates automated operation. The various chambers in this invention are designed based on thorough market research and consideration of the properties of the media gases and to reduce... Designed within cost constraints, this invention addresses the relatively large quantity of conventional standard gas cylinders used. It includes two chambers: a small conventional standard gas cylinder chamber 6 and a large conventional standard gas cylinder chamber 7, divided according to the number of conventional standard gas cylinders to be processed. This achieves energy savings in heating. Fluorine-containing gas cylinders are highly corrosive and environmentally damaging, while mixed gas cylinders suffer from complex gas composition, easily leading to impurities that contaminate subsequent filling gases. Therefore, this invention places both of these in the first cylinder chamber 1, with separate chambers for each.

[0029] Furthermore, the lifting part can be a movable lifting component or a fixed lifting component. The lifting part described in this invention is relative to the cavity; that is, within the same cavity, either a movable or fixed lifting component can be selected, but different lifting part forms can be selected in different cavities within the same gas cylinder compartment. Conventional standard gas cylinders can be 4L-10L or 40-50L standard gas cylinders. When the lifting part is not raised, it can accommodate 40-50L standard gas cylinders; when the lifting part is raised, it can accommodate 4L-10L standard gas cylinders. Based on this, this invention includes a fixed lifting component. Additionally, there are special gas cylinders, so a movable lifting component can be provided to meet the placement and processing needs of different gas cylinders.

The top of the lifting platform 14 is provided with a gas cylinder placement groove 15 for placing gas cylinders, and the bottom of the lifting platform 14 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder, an electric telescopic rod, or a pneumatic cylinder 16. In this utility model, the movable lifting component uses a hydraulic cylinder, an electric telescopic rod, or a pneumatic cylinder 16 as power to realize the lifting of the lifting platform 14.

In actual use, when the gas cylinder is large, the raised plate 18 can be removed; when the gas cylinder is small, the protrusions 19 in the raised plate 18 can be matched with the groove 17, thereby achieving the characteristic of facilitating the placement of gas cylinders of different sizes while saving energy and reducing consumption.
[0032] Furthermore, the balancing gas unit includes a balancing gas source 20, which is connected to the valve array in each gas cylinder cavity via a corresponding balancing gas shut-off valve 21.

[0033] Furthermore, the venting unit includes a venting section for fluorine-containing gas cylinders, a venting section for corrosive gas cylinders, and a venting section for ordinary gases. The venting section for fluorine-containing gas cylinders includes a fluorine-containing tail gas treatment device 22, and a fluorine-containing tail gas valve 23 is connected to the fluorine-containing tail gas treatment device 22 via a fluorine-containing tail gas venting valve 24. The venting section for corrosive gas cylinders includes a corrosive tail gas treatment device 25, and a corrosive gas valve 26 is connected to the corrosive tail gas treatment device 25 via a corrosive tail gas venting valve 27. The ordinary gas venting section includes a first venting pipe 29 connected to a mixed gas cylinder valve 28, a second venting pipe 31 connected to a small conventional standard gas cylinder valve 30, and a third venting pipe 33 connected to a large conventional standard gas cylinder valve 32.

This utility model sets up the above-mentioned venting unit according to the characteristics of fluorine-containing gas and corrosive gas. The above-mentioned settings are all independently laid out and do not affect each other. Under the premise of convenient operation, it is conducive to realizing automated operation. By setting up the fluorine-containing tail gas treatment device 22 and the corrosive tail gas treatment device 25, the purpose of treating the corresponding gases can be achieved while avoiding environmental pollution.

The second vacuum unit is based on the vacuuming of mixed gas cylinders and is equipped with a main vacuum channel, a mixed gas vacuum pump, and a vacuum venting section to achieve vacuuming.

[0081] The essence of this invention is to enable the processing of gas cylinders containing different media within the same system, thereby saving investment and facilitating operation. Based on this, this invention categorizes commonly used gas cylinders containing different media, placing cylinders containing the same media in separate chambers, thus achieving ease of operation and energy saving. To achieve the above objectives, this invention designs the layout of the cylinder storage chamber and the related balance gas filling, venting, and vacuuming pipelines according to the characteristics of different media. Taking the cylinder storage chamber as an example, by setting up independent chambers and coordinating with...

In this invention, the number of cylinders placed in the small standard gas cylinder cavity 6 is less than the number placed in the large standard gas cylinder cavity 7. Taking the related pipeline layout as an example, this invention uses a balance gas source connected to its respective valve row to facilitate the filling of balance gas. In the venting unit, fluorine-containing gas is connected to the fluorine-containing tail gas treatment device 22, and corrosive gas is connected to the corrosive tail gas treatment device 25. The above settings facilitate the installation of anti-corrosion pipelines and avoid interference with other pipelines. The present invention addresses the drawbacks of gas mixing and environmental pollution. In the vacuum unit, based on the characteristics of fluorine-containing gas, a fluorine vacuum pump 38 is connected to a fluorine-containing tail gas treatment device 22 to avoid the impact of fluorine-containing gas on related pipelines and to avoid environmental pollution. Furthermore, the pipeline between the mixed gas cylinder valve 28 and the corresponding balance gas shut-off valve 21 is used in conjunction with the main vacuum channel 41 to perform vacuum treatment on the remaining chamber gas cylinders. That is, the purpose of vacuuming multiple gas cylinders can be achieved by using the fluorine vacuum pump 38 and the mixed gas vacuum pump 42, thereby reducing investment costs.
