Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tank technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly, high-performance, constant-temperature storage tank for light-retaining agents. Background Technology

[0002] Maintaining the stability of photosensitive reagents (photoresist) is crucial during storage and use. Existing technologies typically use temperature-controlled storage tanks to keep photoresist insulated and prevent temperature fluctuations from affecting its activity. However, in actual production processes, photoresist is often filled into storage tanks in batches, with intervals between batches potentially lasting several days. If different batches of photoresist are directly mixed and stored in the same tank, even if they are the same type of product, differences in microstructure, process conditions, or storage periods between batches can easily lead to decreased uniformity, abnormal local concentrations, or even cross-contamination between batches, affecting the subsequent use effect.

[0003] Meanwhile, if quality problems occur in the mixed light-reflecting agent, it is difficult to trace and isolate the defective batches because it is impossible to accurately distinguish between different batches of materials. This results in the scrapping of the entire tank of materials, which seriously affects the efficiency of quality control and increases production costs. If a separate storage tank is configured for each batch, although mixing can be avoided, it will significantly increase equipment investment and space occupation, which is neither economical nor practical. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing constant temperature storage tanks, such as performance degradation and untraceable quality problems caused by mixing of different batches of materials when filling multiple batches, as well as the high cost of separate tank storage, this utility model provides an environmentally friendly, high-performance constant temperature storage tank for light-reducing agents.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: an environmentally friendly high-performance light-repellent constant-temperature storage tank, including a support, a storage tank, a drain pipe, and an inlet pipe; the storage tank is installed on the support; two drain pipes are connected to the storage tank, and each drain pipe is equipped with an electromagnetic valve; an inlet pipe is connected to the storage tank; it also includes a partition and a rotating pipe; a partition is fixedly connected inside the storage tank to facilitate the phased storage of light-repellent, and the partition divides the interior of the storage tank into two symmetrical chambers; two symmetrical rectangular slots are opened on the inlet pipe, and each rectangular slot is connected to the interior of the storage tank; a rotating pipe is rotatably connected inside the inlet pipe; a through groove is opened on the front and rear sides of the rotating pipe, and the two through grooves are symmetrically distributed front and rear; the diameter of each through groove is equal to the diameter of each rectangular slot.

[0006] Optionally, a rectangular slot for switching storage modes is provided on both the front and rear sides of the inlet pipe.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Example 1: As Figures 1-6 As shown, an environmentally friendly, high-performance light-repellent constant-temperature storage tank includes a support 1, a storage tank 2, a drain pipe 3, and an inlet pipe 4; the storage tank 2 is mounted on the support 1; the storage tank 2 is connected to two drain pipes 3, and each drain pipe 3 is equipped with an electromagnetic valve; the storage tank 2 is connected to the inlet pipe 4.

[0022] It also includes a partition 5 and a rotating pipe 6; the partition 5 is fixedly connected inside the storage tank 2, and the partition 5 divides the interior of the storage tank 2 into two symmetrical chambers; two rectangular grooves 4001 are opened on the inlet pipe 4, and each rectangular groove 4001 is connected to the interior of the storage tank 2; a rotating pipe 6 is rotatably connected inside the inlet pipe 4; a through groove 6001 is opened on the front and rear sides of the rotating pipe 6, and the two through grooves 6001 are symmetrically distributed front and rear; the diameter of each through groove 6001 is the same as the diameter of each rectangular groove 4001.

[0023] Furthermore, a rectangular groove 4002 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the liquid inlet pipe 4.

[0024] Furthermore, a protrusion 6002 is provided inside the rotating tube 6.

[0025] Furthermore, the partition 5 is hollow, and the interior of the partition 5 is a vacuum region.

[0026] Furthermore, the rotating pipe 6 is equipped with a handle, making it easy for workers to hold and rotate the pipe 6.

[0027] The existing storage tank 2 on the support 1 uses conventional temperature control technology to maintain a stable internal temperature when storing photosensitizing reagents, preventing temperature fluctuations from affecting the performance of the photosensitive agent. However, during the photosensitive agent filling process, there are situations where multiple batches are added with long intervals between batches. For example, after the photosensitive agent is initially injected into storage tank 2 through the inlet pipe 4 and stored, new photosensitive agent is added again after two to three days. This mixing with the photosensitive agent already in storage tank 2, even though it is the same material, can easily lead to problems such as decreased uniformity of the photosensitive agent, abnormal local concentrations of active components, and even cross-contamination between batches. Furthermore, if the quality of the mixed photosensitive agent is problematic, because different batches have been thoroughly mixed in storage tank 2, it is difficult for workers to trace and determine which specific batch of the added photosensitive agent had the quality problem. This increases the complexity of quality control and material management, as well as production costs. If multiple storage tanks 2 are added to store the brightener in batches for different times, the storage cost will also increase. Therefore, when filling the brightener for the first time, the worker can first rotate the rotating tube 6 inside the liquid inlet pipe 4 so that the through groove 6001 on the front side of the rotating tube 6 is aligned and connected with the rectangular groove 4001 on the front side of the liquid inlet pipe 4. At this time, the rectangular groove 4001 on the rear side of the liquid inlet pipe 4 is disconnected from the through groove 6001 on the rear side of the rotating tube 6. Then, the brightener is injected into the rotating tube 6. The brightener flows into the liquid inlet pipe 4 through the through groove 6001 on the front side of the rotating tube 6, and finally enters the storage tank 2 through the rectangular groove 4001 on the front side of the liquid inlet pipe 4. Since the storage tank 2 is equipped with a partition 5 to divide it into two symmetrical independent chambers, the brightener is completely introduced into the front chamber of the storage tank 2 for storage under the guidance of the rectangular groove 4001 and the obstruction of the partition 5.

[0028] When a new batch of brightener needs to be filled every two to three days, the worker only needs to rotate the rotating tube 6 again to connect the through groove 6001 on its rear side with the rectangular groove 4001 on the rear side of the inlet pipe 4. At this time, the through groove 6001 on the front side of the rotating tube 6 and the rectangular groove 4001 on the front side of the inlet pipe 4 will automatically disconnect. The new batch of brightener will then flow into the inlet pipe 4 through the channel on the rear side of the rotating tube 6 and be guided into the rear chamber of the storage tank 2 through the rectangular groove 4001 on the rear side. By simply rotating the rotating tube 6, different batches of brightener can be contained and stored separately in the same storage tank 2, effectively avoiding cross-mixing of materials between batches. Workers can also trace and determine which batch of brightener has quality problems, significantly improving the accuracy of quality control and the efficiency of material management. When brightener needs to be discharged later, the brightener in the storage tank 2 can be discharged simply by opening the solenoid valve in the corresponding drain pipe 3.

[0029] Furthermore, by setting the partition 5 to be hollow and the interior of the partition 5 to be a vacuum area, the extremely low thermal conductivity of the vacuum environment is utilized. During the subsequent filling of new batches of brightener, the partition 5 can work together with the storage tank 2 to form an effective thermal isolation and temperature maintenance effect on the stored brightener, thereby avoiding the impact of temperature fluctuations caused by the injection of new material on the quality stability of the stored brightener.

[0030] Furthermore, when performing full-tank filling operations, i.e. without the need for batch storage of brightener, the worker can rotate the rotating tube 6 to connect the through groove 6001 on it with the rectangular groove 4002 of the liquid inlet pipe 4. At this time, the through groove 6001 and the rectangular grooves 4001 on both sides of the liquid inlet pipe 4 are completely disconnected. When filling brightener in this state, since the through groove 6001 and the rectangular groove 4002 form a connecting path, the two chambers inside the storage tank 2 separated by the partition 5 are connected, and the brightener can be simultaneously filled into the entire volume space of the storage tank 2. This restores the device to its standard function as an integral storage tank, realizing the brightener storage needs under normal conditions. By rotating the rotating tube 6 to switch different flow channel connection states, the storage tank 2 can be flexibly switched between the two working modes of compartmentalized storage and overall combined storage, improving the adaptability of the equipment during use.

[0031] It is also considered that, through the protrusion 6002 provided in the transfer tube 6, when the brightener is filled, the protrusion 6002 is used to guide the brightener into the storage tank 2, and at the same time, the brightener cannot stay on the protrusion 6002, thereby avoiding the brightener residue in the transfer tube 6 from affecting the next filling operation.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. The scope of the following claims should be given the broadest interpretation in order to cover all variations and equivalent structures and functions.
