Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coolant supply technology, and in particular relates to a coolant supply system for a temperature cooling unit. Background Technology

[0002] Optical metrology equipment is primarily used for wafer measurement and quality control in chip manufacturing. The optical metrology system includes a Temperature Cooling Unit (TCU) to provide internal circulating coolant to the heat-generating components of the machine, maintaining stable temperatures and ensuring optimal equipment operation for measurement accuracy and reliability. Coolant loss often occurs within the TCU, requiring timely replenishment. However, the coolant tank in the TCU lacks a coolant inlet, necessitating manual replenishment via bottled coolant. This manual replenishment can be problematic, as the bottles may be unclean or have contaminated openings, introducing impurities into the equipment. The accumulation of these impurities can lead to pipe blockages, corrosion, and leaks.

[0003] Based on the above problems, a coolant supply system for the temperature cooling unit is needed to avoid introducing impurities into the TCU cooling water tank and to save manpower. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve all or part of the above-mentioned problems by providing a coolant supply system for a temperature cooling unit. An inlet is provided at the bottom of the machine, and a water injection pipe is connected to the cooling water tank inside the machine through the inlet at the bottom of the machine. A control component is provided on the water injection pipe to control the injection of coolant into the cooling water tank. This can prevent impurities from being introduced into the cooling water tank during bottle transfer and blockage of the pipes. At the same time, it can save manpower and improve work efficiency.

[0005] This utility model provides a coolant supply system for a temperature cooling unit, including a machine base. The machine base is equipped with a temperature cooling unit, which includes a water injection pipe, a water outlet pipe, and a cooling water tank. The cooling water tank has a water inlet. The bottom of the machine base has an inlet. One end of the water injection pipe is supplied with coolant, and the other end extends into the machine base through the inlet. The coolant is injected into the cooling water tank through the water inlet. The water outlet pipe circulates the coolant. A control component is provided on the water injection pipe.

[0006] A water pipe adapter is installed on the water inlet, and the water injection pipeline is connected to the water inlet through the water pipe adapter, so as to facilitate the injection of coolant into the cooling water tank and prevent leakage.

[0007] The water pipe adapter includes an inlet end and an outlet end, and has a hollow water channel inside for coolant flow; the inlet end is connected to the water injection pipe, and the outlet end is connected to the water inlet, so that coolant is introduced into the water injection pipe and injected into the cooling water tank through the water pipe adapter.

[0008] The inlet end size matches the water injection pipeline, and the outlet end size matches the water inlet to prevent coolant leakage during the injection process.

[0009] The water pipe adapter is connected to the water inlet by a thread, and the water pipe adapter is fixedly connected to the water inlet, which ensures a stable structure and smooth injection of coolant.

[0010] The water injection pipe has a diameter of 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 inch and can be installed inside the machine through the inlet to inject coolant into the cooling water tank.

[0011] The length of the water injection pipe is 2-4 meters. The water injection pipe has a reasonable length for easy installation and is long enough to connect the water pipe adapter, so as to inject coolant into the cooling water tank.

[0012] The water injection pipeline is a flexible pipeline, which is fixed with cable ties. The pipeline has a certain degree of flexibility and can be bent to facilitate the water injection pipeline to extend through the inlet at the bottom of the machine and be installed inside the machine. The cable ties ensure that the water injection pipeline remains stable during the coolant injection process, does not affect the operation of the machine, and prevents coolant leakage.

[0013] The control component can be a manual valve or a solenoid valve. The type of valve can be selected according to the process requirements, making it easy to operate and improving work efficiency.

[0014] The solenoid valve is connected to the machine's water tank replenishment and full signal to control the automatic addition of coolant. The machine's signal automatically controls the solenoid valve's on / off state, achieving automated operation and saving manpower. Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: an inlet is provided at the bottom of the machine, through which the water injection pipe extends into the machine and connects to the coolant tank's inlet, injecting water into the coolant tank without bottled transportation and pouring. This effectively avoids introducing impurities into the coolant tank during injection, preventing pipe blockage. Simultaneously, a control component is installed on the water injection pipe to control water injection, effectively saving manpower and improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Example

Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a machine base 1, which is equipped with a temperature cooling unit. The temperature cooling unit includes a water injection pipe 11, a water outlet pipe, and a cooling water tank 12. The cooling water tank 12 has a water inlet. An inlet 13 is located at the bottom of the machine base 1. One end of the water injection pipe 11 is supplied with coolant, and the other end extends into the machine base 1 through the inlet 13, injecting coolant into the cooling water tank 12 through the water inlet. The water outlet pipe circulates the cooling system. A control component 2 is installed on the water injection pipe 11. Injecting coolant into the cooling water tank 12 through the water injection pipe 11 prevents impurities from being introduced into the cooling water tank 12 during coolant transfer. Simultaneously, controlling the water injection through the control component 2 effectively saves manpower. In this embodiment, ultrapure water is used as the coolant.

[0021] A water pipe adapter 3 is installed on the water inlet, and the water injection pipe 11 is connected to the water inlet through the water pipe adapter 3. This facilitates the injection of ultrapure water into the cooling water tank 12 via the water injection pipe 11. Figure 2As shown, the water pipe adapter 3 includes an inlet end 31 and an outlet end 32, and has a hollow water channel inside for ultrapure water flow; the inlet end 31 is connected to the water injection pipe 11, and the outlet end 32 is connected to the water inlet; the size of the inlet end 31 matches the size of the water injection pipe 11, and the size of the outlet end 32 matches the size of the water inlet; the water pipe adapter 3 is connected to the water inlet by a thread, which is structurally stable and avoids leakage during the ultrapure water injection process.

[0022] The water injection pipe 11 has a diameter of 1 / 4-1 / 2 inch and a length of 2-4 meters. The water injection pipe 11 has a reasonable diameter and length, sufficient to connect to the water pipe adapter 3, enabling the injection of coolant into the cooling water tank 12. The water injection pipe 11 is a flexible pipe, allowing it to bend to a certain extent. This flexibility facilitates its insertion into the inlet 13 at the bottom of the machine 1 and its installation within the machine 1. The water injection pipe 11 is secured with cable ties to ensure stability during ultrapure water injection, preventing shaking and ensuring the normal operation of the machine 1, while also preventing leaks. In this embodiment, the length of the water injection pipe 11 is 3 meters. The water injection pipe 11 is made of high-purity materials such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF HP) and perfluoroalkoxyalkane (PFA HP).

[0023] Control component 2 can be a manual valve or a solenoid valve, which is easy to operate, and the type of valve can be selected according to the work requirements. If a solenoid valve is selected, it can be connected to the water tank replenishment and full signal of the machine 1 to automatically control the injection of ultrapure water into the cooling water tank 12; the solenoid valve can be automatically controlled to switch on and off through the signal of the machine 12, realizing the automated operation of the solenoid valve, saving manpower and improving work efficiency.

[0024] This invention injects coolant into a cooling water tank 12 via a water injection pipe 11, avoiding the use of bottled coolant and preventing impurities from being introduced into the cooling water tank 12. It also eliminates the need for manual handling, saving labor costs. Furthermore, the control component 2 controls the start and stop of water injection, improving work efficiency.
