An air passage 17 is provided, with an air outlet 6 on one side. A connecting pipe 10 is provided on the other side of the air passage 17, and a filter mechanism 7 is provided on the side of the connecting pipe 10. An air inlet 8 is provided on the side of the filter mechanism 7. A power mechanism 9 is provided on the side of the filter mechanism 7, and a drive shaft 18 is provided inside. Two sets of drive shafts 18 are provided, and a circulating filter screen 19 is provided between the two sets of drive shafts 18. The power mechanism 9 includes two sets of drive wheels, with drive wheels provided between them. One set of drive wheels is connected to the drive shaft 18, and the other set is rotatably connected to the filter mechanism 7. The connecting shaft of the other set of drive wheels extends to the outside of the power mechanism 9 and is connected to a drive motor. The power mechanism 9 drives... The drive shaft 18 rotates, causing the circulating filter screen 19 to rotate, which can filter the floating dust in the silicon tetrachloride gas. The circulating filtration can effectively reduce the clogging of the filter screen. Several sets of adsorption plates 22 are set inside the filter mechanism 7 to effectively adsorb floating dust and increase the cleanliness of silicon tetrachloride. Two sets of flow channels 15 are set at the top of the gas duct 17, and a differential pressure sensor 16 is set between the two sets of flow channels 15. A solenoid valve 4 is set on the side of the control box 2, and a connecting line 5 is set on the upper part of the solenoid valve 4.

The internal pressure difference is monitored by the differential pressure sensor 16, and the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 4 is controlled by the main control board 11.

[0020] Further improvements, such as Figure 1As shown: The surface of the control box 2 is provided with a display module 3, and the display module 3 is electrically connected to the main control board 11 through wires. The display module 3 can display information such as the flow rate, pressure, temperature and filtration status of silicon tetrachloride gas in real time, so that the operator can intuitively understand the working status of the flow controller, and facilitate timely detection and adjustment of problems.

[0021] Further improvements, such as Figure 3 As shown: The control box 2 is equipped with a pressure sensor 13 and a temperature sensor 14, and the detection ends of the pressure sensor 13 and the temperature sensor 14 extend into the air passage 17. The pressure sensor 13 and the temperature sensor 14 can monitor the pressure and temperature in the air passage 17 in real time, provide accurate data support to the main control board 11, ensure that the flow controller works in the best condition, and prevent equipment damage caused by excessive pressure or temperature.

[0022] Further improvements, such as Figure 4 As shown: Several groups of adsorption plates 22 are arranged at an angle and connected in pairs. The angled adsorption plates 22 can more effectively capture and adsorb dust in silicon tetrachloride gas, thereby improving filtration efficiency.

[0023] Further improvements, such as Figure 4 As shown: The lower part of the filter mechanism 7 is provided with a dirt collection tank 21, and the lower part of the dirt collection tank 21 is provided with a sealing cover 20. The sealing cover 20 is rotatably connected to the filter mechanism 7. The dirt collection tank 21 can collect the dirt generated during the filtration process, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning. The design of the sealing cover 20 ensures the sealing of the dirt collection tank 21 and prevents dirt leakage from causing secondary pollution.

[0024] Further improvements, such as Figure 3 As shown: The gas passage 17 is provided with a laminar flow mechanism 12 and the laminar flow mechanism 12 is located between two sets of flow passages 15. The laminar flow mechanism 12 can enable silicon tetrachloride gas to form a stable laminar flow state in the gas passage 17, thereby improving the gas flow efficiency.

[0025] Working Principle: Silicon chloride gas enters the filter mechanism 7 through the inlet 8. The gas is effectively introduced into the filter mechanism 7, providing a foundation for subsequent filtration and purification processes. This ensures that the gas can fully contact and pass through the filter mechanism 7, improving filtration efficiency. The power mechanism 9 drives the drive shaft 18 to rotate, and the circulating filter screen 19 begins to rotate and filter the floating dust in the gas. The rotation of the circulating filter screen 19 continuously captures and separates the floating dust in the gas. The circulating filtration design effectively reduces the risk of filter screen clogging and improves the continuity and stability of filtration. The filtered gas undergoes further adsorption treatment through the adsorption plate 22 to remove residual floating dust. The adsorption plate 22 utilizes its adsorption properties to adsorb the residual floating dust in the gas, improving the efficiency of filtration. The purity of the silicon tetrachloride gas meets the gas quality requirements of subsequent processes. The gas enters the flow channel 15 through the laminar flow mechanism 12. The differential pressure sensor 16 monitors the pressure difference within the flow channel 15. The laminar flow mechanism 12 ensures a stable laminar flow state within the flow channel 15, while the differential pressure sensor 16 monitors pressure changes in the flow channel 15 in real time, improving gas flow efficiency. Simultaneously, the monitoring data from the differential pressure sensor 16 provides control data for the main control board 11. Based on the data from the differential pressure sensor 16, the main control board 11 controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 4, adjusting the gas flow rate. The main control board 11 precisely controls the solenoid valve 4 based on the real-time monitored data, achieving precise control of the silicon tetrachloride gas flow rate and meeting the gas flow requirements of different processes. This also improves the automation level and operating efficiency of the equipment. The contaminants generated during the filtration process are collected in the sludge collection tank 21 and cleaned regularly. The design of the sludge collection tank 21 facilitates the collection and cleaning of contaminants, maintaining the cleanliness and efficient operation of the filtration mechanism 7 and extending the equipment's service life. It also reduces equipment failures and downtime caused by contaminant blockage.
