Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling heads, and more particularly to a photoresist filling head mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Photoresist is a photosensitive organic material with high resolution and high precision, which is widely used in microelectronics manufacturing and optical technology. After the photoresist production is completed, it needs to be packaged.

[0003] Previously, the pre-filling process involved the filling head lowering to the bottom of the bottle to purge air with nitrogen. After 5 seconds of purging, filling would begin, with nitrogen forming a protective curtain at the filling port while the filling head slowly rose with the liquid level. However, after filling, the back-suction valve sucked up any remaining liquid. Because the system wasn't independent, replenishing nitrogen could cause residual liquid to be backflowed into the bottle, potentially generating air bubbles or affecting the actual weighing accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem in the prior art where the nitrogen pipeline and the filling pipeline are connected in series. When nitrogen is added, residual liquid is backflush into the bottle, which may cause the formation of bubbles or affect the actual weighing. This invention proposes a photoresist filling head mechanism.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model: a photoresist filling head mechanism, including a housing, a connecting plate disposed on the housing; and further including:

[0006] A filling nozzle support is installed on the inner wall of the outer shell. A positive pressure chamber is opened on the upper end of the filling nozzle support facing downward. A through hole is vertically provided at the bottom of the positive pressure chamber. A threaded hole is opened on the bottom surface of the filling nozzle support facing upward. The threaded hole communicates with the through hole. A nitrogen channel is provided on the filling nozzle support, which is horizontal and communicates with the through hole. An elbow is provided on the nitrogen channel.

[0007] End caps are installed on the top of the filling gun head support and seal the positive pressure chamber. Both the upper and lower ends of the end caps are equipped with cylinders.

[0008] A back suction valve is installed on the outer casing, and the bottom of the back suction valve is connected to the cylinder at the top of the end cap;

[0009] The inner tube passes through the through hole and its top is connected to the bottom of the end cap. The outer diameter of the inner tube is smaller than the diameter of the through hole.

[0010] The outer tube has a threaded section at its top, which is connected to a threaded hole. The outer tube is fitted over the inner tube.

[0011] Preferably, a triangular support plate is provided inside the outer shell, and a vertical mounting surface is milled out on the outer wall of the filling gun head support. Four threaded holes are provided on the mounting surface, and the triangular support plate and the mounting surface are connected by four bolts.

[0012] Preferably, multiple bolt fixing holes are evenly arranged on the end cap along the circumferential direction, and the end cap and the top of the filling gun head support are connected by multiple bolts.

[0013] Preferably, an annular groove is provided at the bottom of the end cap and at the top of the filling gun head support, and a sealing ring is placed in the annular groove.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the end cap is provided with a downwardly protruding sealing surface, and the top edge of the positive pressure chamber is provided with an annular groove, with the sealing surface pressing against the bottom surface of the annular groove.

[0015] Preferably, the outer diameter of the bottom section of the outer tube gradually decreases.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: the filling liquid is injected into the container through the back suction valve, end cap and inner tube. After filling, the back suction valve draws back to prevent the liquid in the inner tube from dripping. Nitrogen gas is injected into the nitrogen channel, entering the through hole and positive pressure chamber. Simultaneously, nitrogen gas can also be blown out through the gap between the inner and outer tubes. Furthermore, the nitrogen entry point is higher than the filling nozzle, and the replenishment of nitrogen is also under positive pressure, thus preventing liquid from flowing back into the nitrogen pipeline.
