[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 4As shown, a vacuum pump volatile solvent tail gas collection tank of this embodiment includes a tank body 1. The tank body 1 includes an air inlet 11 and an exhaust port 12. The air inlet 11 is located at the top of the tank body 1 to facilitate communication with the exhaust port of the vacuum pump 4.

[0023] The exhaust port 12 is located at the end of the tank body 1 away from the air inlet 11, so that the volatile solvent will flow through most of the tank body 1, thereby improving the capture rate of the volatile solvent.

[0024] The air pressure balance inside and outside the tank 1 is achieved through the exhaust port 12;

[0025] A cooling assembly 2 is provided on the tank body 1. Preferably, the coolant can be water. The cooling assembly 2 includes a first cooling pipe 21 located inside the tank body 1. Both ends of the first cooling pipe 21 extend out of the tank body 1. Preferably, one end of the first cooling pipe 21 can be connected to a circulating water pump, and the other end of the first cooling pipe 21 can be connected to a water tank. A water pipe is connected between the water tank and the water pump so that the water can circulate in the first cooling pipe 21.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 As shown, preferably, both ends of the first cooling pipe 21 can extend from the same end of the tank body 1, that is, the inlet and outlet of the first cooling pipe 21 both extend from one end of the tank body 1; this allows the first cooling pipe 21 to enter from the front end of the tank body 1 and extend to the vicinity of the rear end of the tank body 1, and the outlet of the first cooling pipe 21 to extend from the rear end to the front end of the tank body 1, increasing the length of the first cooling pipe 21 within the tank body 1, thereby improving cooling efficiency; achieving preliminary treatment of exhaust gas; a further exhaust gas treatment system can be connected at the exhaust port 12; the entire tank body 1 system is relatively small in size and can be placed on a frame together with the vacuum pump 4 for joint movement.

[0027] Alternatively, a cooler can be connected to the water pipe to improve cooling efficiency.

[0028] The tank body 1 is equipped with a drain outlet 13, which can drain the liquid formed after cooling.

[0029] At least a portion of the first cooling pipe 21 located inside the tank 1 is spiral-shaped. The spiral arrangement can increase the length of the first cooling pipe 21 inside the tank 1, thereby increasing the contact area with the volatile solvent and improving the capture rate.

[0030] Preferably, the cooling assembly 2 includes a second cooling pipe 22, which is wound around the outer surface of the tank 1. A set of cold air pipes is also provided on the outer surface of the tank 1. The first cooling pipe 21 and the second cooling pipe 22 cooperate to improve the cooling efficiency.

[0031] The second cooling pipe 22 cools the outer surface of the tank 1, so that the volatile solvent can also be cooled when it comes into contact with the inner wall of the tank 1, thereby increasing the cooling area for the volatile solvent.

[0032] The inlet of the first cooling pipe 21 is connected to the inlet of the second cooling pipe 22 and / or the outlet of the first cooling pipe 21 is connected to the outlet of the second cooling pipe 22; when the inlet of the first cooling pipe 21 is connected to the inlet of the second cooling pipe 22, water can be supplied to the first cooling pipe 21 and the second cooling pipe 22 through a water tank and a circulating water pump.

[0033] When the outlet of the first cooling pipe 21 is connected to the outlet of the second cooling pipe 22, the water after passing through the tank 1 can be discharged into the water tank together.

[0034] An arc-shaped pipe 3 is connected to the vent 12. The arc-shaped pipe 3 extends upward to prevent liquid in the tank 1 from entering the arc-shaped pipe 3, thereby preventing liquid from flowing out of the vent 12.

[0035] The top of the arc-shaped tube 3 is higher than the top of the level gauge 14.

[0036] A level gauge 14 is provided at the end of the tank body 1. The two ends of the level gauge 14 are connected to the inside of the tank body 1. Its exterior includes a glass tube, which can display the liquid level inside the tank body 1. Workers can determine whether it is necessary to discharge the liquid through the drain outlet 13 based on the liquid level of the level gauge 14.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a liquid level sensor 15 is installed on the tank body 1, and a solenoid valve 16 is installed at the drain outlet 13. The liquid level sensor 15 and the solenoid valve 16 are electrically connected. Through the cooperation of the solenoid valve 16 and the liquid level sensor 15, when the liquid level in the tank body 1 reaches the alarm position of the liquid level sensor 15, the solenoid valve 16 opens to discharge the liquid. At this time, the ball valve 17 is normally open, and there is no need for manual discharge of liquid.

[0038] The end of the solenoid valve 16 away from the tank body 1 is connected to a ball valve 17, which can ensure the safety and flexibility of the system. The flow rate of the liquid can be controlled by the ball valve 17.

[0039] The tank body 1 includes a barrel body 18 and a cap 19 detachably connected to one end of the barrel body 18. The cap 19 and the barrel body 18 are sealed together. The cap 19 and the barrel body 18 are detachably connected by bolts and nuts, and a sealing ring is added.

[0040] Drain outlet 13, vent outlet 12, level gauge 14, etc. are provided at one end of the barrel 18 away from the cover 19. Both ends of the first cooling pipe 21 extend from the cover 19. There are two holes on the cover 19, and at least one sealing ring is provided between the hole and the first cooling pipe 21.

[0041] A vacuum pump assembly includes a vacuum pump 4 and a vacuum pump volatile solvent tail gas collection tank as described above, wherein the exhaust port of the vacuum pump 4 is connected to the collection tank.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within its protection scope.
