Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heater technology, and in particular to IPA instantaneous heater. Background Technology

[0002] In the wafer manufacturing process, IPA is used to dry the wafers. IPA has a strong water absorption and drying effect. However, IPA is flammable and explosive at high temperatures, which is quite risky. Although there are exhaust devices in the wafer manufacturing equipment to remove the volatilized IPA, some IPA vapor will inevitably remain in the equipment. At the same time, fluid heaters are also required in the wafer manufacturing equipment.

[0003] In existing technologies, most heaters are directly exposed to the outside environment without a sealing mechanism. This design allows the heater to come into direct contact with IPA vapor. When IPA leaks into the heater, the high temperature of the heater can easily lead to combustion and explosion, reducing the practicality and safety of the heater. Utility Model Content

The outer surface of the heat insulation box 2 has two grooves 10. The feed pipe 8 and the discharge pipe 9 are respectively set inside the corresponding grooves 10. The lower surface of the box cover 3 is fixedly installed with two sealing blocks 11. The two sealing blocks 11 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding grooves 10. The two side walls of the sealing blocks 11 are fixedly installed with sliders 12. The inner walls of the two sides of the grooves 10 are provided with sliding grooves that are compatible with the sliders 12.

[0030] To improve the sealing performance of the heat insulation box 2, two sealing rings 13 are provided inside the two grooves 10. Two sealing gaskets 14 are fixedly installed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the sealing rings 13. Two sealing rings 13 are respectively fitted on the outer surface of the feed pipe 8 and the discharge pipe 9. The two sealing gaskets 14 are respectively in contact with the inner wall and the outer wall of the heat insulation box 2. A positioning block 15 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the sealing rings 13. The bottom wall of the groove 10 and the lower surface of the sealing block 11 are both provided with positioning grooves that can be inserted into the positioning block 15.

A threaded tube 18 is fixedly installed on one end of the wire protection tube 17 near the heat insulation box 2. The threaded tube 18 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the lead wire hole 16.

[0031] By setting up heater body 1, heat insulation box 2, box cover 3, sealing sleeve 4, positioning rod 5, nut 6, air inlet pipe 7, feed pipe 8, discharge pipe 9, groove 10, sealing block 11, slider 12, sealing ring 13, sealing gasket 14, positioning block 15, lead wire hole 16, wire protection tube 17 and threaded tube 18, the heater body 1 is sealed. By sealing the heater body 1, contact between the heater body 1 and IPA vapor is prevented, thereby avoiding the possibility of combustion and explosion of the heater body 1, and improving the practicality and safety of the heater.

[0032] The heat insulation box 2 is equipped with a fixing assembly, which includes a support base 19 and a threaded rod 20. The support base 19 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the heat insulation box 2. The threaded rod 20 is rotatably connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the heat insulation box 2. A slide rod 21 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the heat insulation box 2. A turntable 22 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the threaded rod 20. A drive plate 23 is sleeved on the outer surface of both ends of the slide rod 21. The outer surface of the threaded rod 20 has a forward thread and a reverse thread. The side walls of the two drive plates 23 are threaded to the threaded rod 20 through the forward thread and the reverse thread, respectively. A clamping plate 24 is fixedly installed at the top of the drive plate 23. The shape of the clamping plate 24 is an arc shape adapted to the heater body 1. There are two sets of fixing assemblies.

[0033] By setting up a support base 19, a threaded rod 20, a sliding rod 21, a turntable 22, a driving plate 23, and a clamping plate 24, the function of quickly and conveniently fixing the heater body 1 is realized. By using the support base 19 to support the heater body 1, and using the two arc-shaped clamping plates 24 to clamp and fix the heater body 1, the firmness and stability of the heater body 1 installation are improved.

[0034] Working principle: Before using the heater, first install the heater inside the heat insulation box 2. Then, place a sealing ring 13 inside each of the two grooves 10, so that the positioning block 15 is inserted into the positioning groove on the bottom wall of the groove 10. The two sealing gaskets 14 are respectively attached to the inner and outer walls of the heat insulation box 2. Then, place the heater body 1 inside the heat insulation box 2, so that the heater body 1 is placed in the arc-shaped groove of the two support seats 19, and the feed pipe 8 and the discharge pipe 9 are respectively set inside the two grooves 10. Then, put the other two sealing rings 13 on the outer surface of the feed pipe 8 and the discharge pipe 9. The two sealing rings 13 on the outer surface of the feed pipe 8 and the discharge pipe 9 are in contact with each other at the ends, connecting to form a ring and fitting against the feed pipe. The outer surfaces of the feed pipe 8 and the discharge pipe 9 are sealed between the feed pipe 8 and the discharge pipe 9 and the groove 10. Then, the turntable 22 is rotated. When the turntable 22 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate on the inner wall of the heat insulation box 2. When the threaded rod 20 rotates, it drives the driving plate 23 to move. Under the restriction of the slide rod 21, the two driving plates 23 move along the outer surface of the slide rod 21 from both ends of the threaded rod 20 to the middle position of the threaded rod 20, thereby driving the arc-shaped clamping plate 24 to move closer to the heater body 1. When both clamping plates 24 are in contact with the outer wall of the heater body 1, the heater body 1 is clamped. The above operation is repeated so that another set of fixing components also clamps the heater body 1, thus completing the fixing of the heater body 1.

[0035] After the heater body 1 is fixed, the sealing sleeve 4 is placed on the top of the heat insulation box 2, and then the box cover 3 is placed on the upper surface of the heat insulation box 2. At this time, the two sealing blocks 11 slide into the interior of the two grooves 10 respectively, and the slider 12 slides inside the groove. When the positioning rod 5 passes through the sealing sleeve 4 and the box cover 3, the box cover 3 contacts the heat insulation box 2. The positioning block 15 on the sealing ring 13, which is above the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9, is inserted into the positioning groove on the lower surface of the sealing block 11. Then, the nut 6 is screwed to the top of the positioning rod 5 to press and fix the box cover 3, thereby completing the sealing of the heater body 1. After the heater body 1 is sealed, the air inlet pipe 7 is connected to the nitrogen storage equipment to introduce nitrogen into the interior of the heat insulation box 2. After the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9 are connected to the corresponding equipment, the heater can be started to heat.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
