Rotating a knob causes the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn drives the hollow rotating shaft to rotate, causing the fixing plate to rotate. This causes the clamping plate to move inward, locking into the groove of the connector, restricting the connector from moving up and down. Because rotation of the threaded connection inevitably involves movement, the threaded connection will not loosen, achieving the purpose of preventing loosening.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and process technology, and in particular to a metal ion concentration probe for semiconductor equipment coolant. Background Technology

[0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, the chip production process has extremely high requirements for environmental cleanliness, material purity, and process stability. Even tiny impurities and contamination can lead to a decline in chip performance or even scrapping. As a key auxiliary medium for the normal operation of semiconductor equipment, the quality of coolant directly affects the heat dissipation efficiency, service life, and yield of the final product. Metal ions in coolant are one of the main pollutants. Therefore, the need for accurate monitoring of their concentration has spurred the research and application of metal ion concentration probes for semiconductor equipment coolant.

[0003] With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the integration of chips is becoming increasingly higher, and the process nodes are shrinking from the micrometer level to the nanometer level. This places higher demands on the cleanliness of the manufacturing environment and the stability of process parameters. This requires higher accuracy and faster response speed in monitoring the concentration of metal ions in the coolant, which has driven the research and development of online monitoring probe technology. However, most existing probes are connected by threaded connections. The threads and clips of the mechanical interface will gradually loosen under long-term vibration, causing the probe to shift position and the sealing performance to deteriorate. This can lead to the probe falling into the coolant, resulting in damage to the semiconductor equipment and the probe. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a metal ion concentration probe for semiconductor equipment coolant, which aims to improve the problem of the inability to prevent loosening in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a semiconductor equipment coolant metal ion concentration probe, comprising a transmission hose, a connector fixedly connected to the top of the transmission hose, a hollow rotating shaft slidably connected to the outer wall of the connector, a screw threadedly connected to the outer wall of the hollow rotating shaft, a fixing plate threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw, a fixing column rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate, a rotating plate rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing column, a rotating column rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating plate, a slider fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column, a locking plate slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hollow rotating shaft, a knob fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod, and a dustproof device fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission hose, the function of which is to prevent dust from entering the interior when the equipment is not in use.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The dustproof device includes a rigid outer shell, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission hose. A rotator shell is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rigid outer shell. An arc-shaped groove is formed on the outer wall of the rotator shell. A connecting rod 2 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped groove. A dustproof shell is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 2. A through hole is formed on the outer wall of the dustproof shell. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the through hole. A knob 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 2.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The outer wall of the knob is fixedly connected with anti-slip texture, and the outer wall of the connector is threaded with a connecting block.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A protective shell is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dustproof shell, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell, and a sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second knob.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A pull rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve, and a locking pin is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pull rod.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A baffle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking post, and a spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The outer wall of the transmission hose is fixedly connected to a probe housing, the inner wall of the probe housing is fixedly connected to a detection pool, the inner wall of the transmission hose is provided with an inner insulating and waterproof layer, and the inner wall of the inner insulating and waterproof layer is fixedly connected to a partition plate.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The inner wall of the inner insulating and waterproof layer is provided with a wire, and an electrode plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wire. A partition is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the detection pool.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, the connector at the top of the probe is screwed into the connecting block. Turning the knob causes the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn drives the hollow shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the fixing plate to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating plate to rotate, which in turn causes the clamping plate to move inward and lock into the groove of the connector, restricting the connector so that it cannot move up and down. Since the rotation of the threaded connection is always accompanied by movement, the threaded connection will not loosen, thus achieving the purpose of preventing loosening.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, pulling the lever outward causes the locking pin to move outward, which in turn causes the baffle to move inward, thereby compressing the spring and causing it to contract. Rotating the knob two causes the connecting rod two to rotate, which in turn causes the dust cover to rotate. Because the arc groove on the surface of the dust cover can only cause the connecting rod two to rotate a quarter turn, the through holes on the surface of the dust cover are blocked, and excessive rotation is prevented, so that dust will not enter the probe through the dust cover when not in use, thus achieving the purpose of dust prevention when not in operation.
