Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning device, and more particularly to a vacuum pipeline cleaning device with a heated cleaning tube, belonging to the field of vacuum pipeline cleaning technology. Background Technology
[0002] In PCB manufacturing, vacuum piping systems are critical auxiliary equipment, widely used for material transport and process environment control in core processes such as electroplating, etching, and lamination. For example, in the vacuum lamination process, the piping needs to continuously transport volatile organic solvents and thermosetting resins. These substances are easily volatilized at high temperatures, but some oily components will adhere to the inner wall of the piping with the airflow. Because the inside of the vacuum piping is usually under negative pressure and the airflow velocity is low, the oily substances are prone to condensation and deposition in the low-temperature zone, forming a viscous or semi-solid dirt layer.
[0003] Existing vacuum pipeline cleaning technology has three typical drawbacks: Physical cleaning methods (such as resin bullet stamping) require high pressure resistance of the pipes, cannot be adapted to curved pipes, and are prone to scratching the inner wall. Chemical cleaning requires a large amount of chemicals, which can easily lead to secondary pollution. In addition, a lengthy drying process (usually 2-4 hours) is required after cleaning, which affects the utilization rate of equipment. Flexible brush cleaning is not strong enough to remove stubborn scale (such as polymer byproducts in semiconductor pipes), and its cleaning efficiency is less than 60%.
[0004] Increased dirt layer thickness leads to a reduction in the effective flow cross-sectional area of the pipes, increased airflow resistance, and a decrease in system vacuum, affecting the uniformity of lamination in PCB production. Simultaneously, oil decomposition products release volatile organic compounds, polluting the cleanroom environment and corroding precision equipment such as vacuum pumps. Therefore, a vacuum pipe cleaning device with a heated cleaning tube is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0020] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a vacuum pipeline cleaning device with a heated cleaning tube, including a cleaning assembly 10. The cleaning assembly 10 includes a steam generator 11, a controller 13, an exhaust pipe 16, a connecting pipe 17, a heating tube 18, a heating wire 19, a temperature sensor 110, and a connector 111. A controller 13 is mounted on the front surface of the steam generator 11. An outlet pipe 16 is connected to the top of the steam generator 11, and a connecting pipe 17 is connected to the top of the outlet pipe 16. A heating tube 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 17, and a heating wire 19 is installed on the inner wall of the heating tube 18. A temperature sensor 110 is mounted on the connecting pipe 17, and a connector 111 is threaded to one end of the connecting pipe 17. The temperature sensor 110 is signal-connected to the controller 13. The steam generator 11 generates high-temperature steam through heating, and the high-temperature steam enters the connecting pipe 17 through the outlet pipe 16. In the connecting pipe 17, the heating wire 19 inside the heating tube 18 reheats the steam to ensure that the steam reaches the required cleaning temperature. The temperature sensor 110 monitors the temperature of the steam in the connecting pipe 17 in real time and transmits the signal to the controller 13. The controller 13 adjusts the heating power of the heating wire 19 according to the preset cleaning temperature range to maintain a constant steam temperature. One end of the connecting pipe 17 is provided with a threaded connection structure to facilitate quick replacement of the connector 111, adapting to vacuum pipes of different sizes. The connector 111 uses a rotary nozzle (300r / min) with an adjustable spray angle (30° / 45° / 60°) to accommodate different pipe diameters (50-200mm).
[0023] The vacuum pipeline adopts a staged evacuation mode: initially, the pressure is evacuated to -0.05MPa to lower the boiling point of the cleaning liquid to 60-80℃, and heating is used to achieve low-energy boiling; during the cleaning stage, a negative pressure of -0.08MPa is maintained, and the scouring effect is enhanced by the high-speed flow of the gas-liquid mixture (flow velocity ≥15m / s). A pressure feedback valve is installed: when the pressure fluctuation in the pipe exceeds ±0.01MPa, the vacuum pump power is automatically adjusted to avoid pipe damage caused by sudden pressure changes.
[0024] In this embodiment, specifically: a feeding assembly 20 is provided on the top of the cleaning assembly 10, and the feeding assembly 20 includes a storage tank 21, a discharge pipe 25 and an electric valve 26; The bottom of the storage tank 21 is connected to the discharge pipe 25, and an electric valve 26 is installed on the discharge pipe 25. The discharge pipe 25 is connected to the top of the steam generator 11. The electric valve 26 is electrically connected to the controller 13. The controller 13 controls the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 25 through the electric valve 26.
[0025] In this embodiment, specifically: an audible and visual alarm 112 is installed on the top of the steam generator 11. The audible and visual alarm 112 is electrically connected to the controller 13. When the temperature is too high or the steam generator 11 is abnormal, the audible and visual alarm 112 will immediately sound an alarm to remind the operator to handle the situation in time.
[0026] In this embodiment, specifically: the bottom of the steam generator 11 is symmetrically and fixedly connected with support legs 12, which are used to stably support the steam generator 11.
[0027] In this embodiment, specifically: a display screen 14 and operation buttons 15 are mounted on the front surface of the controller 13, and the display screen 14 and operation buttons 15 facilitate the operation of the controller 13.
[0028] In this embodiment, specifically: the top of the storage tank 21 is connected to the feed pipe 22, through which the cleaning solvent is fed into the storage tank 21.
[0029] In this embodiment, specifically: a liquid level sensor 23 is installed on the storage tank 21. The liquid level sensor 23 is connected to the controller 13. The liquid level sensor 23 on the storage tank 21 monitors the liquid level of the material in the tank in real time. When the liquid level is lower than the preset value, the controller 13 will issue a reminder signal to prompt the operator to replenish the material in time.
[0030] In this embodiment, specifically: support columns 24 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 21. The support columns 24 are fixedly connected to the top of the steam generator 11. The support columns 24 are used to support the storage tank 21 and improve the stability of the storage tank 21.
[0031] In operation, this invention works as follows: the steam generator 11 produces high-temperature steam through heating, and the high-temperature steam enters the connecting pipe 17 through the outlet pipe 16. In the connecting pipe 17, the heating wire 19 inside the heating tube 18 reheats the steam to ensure it reaches the required cleaning temperature. The temperature sensor 110 monitors the temperature of the steam in the connecting pipe 17 in real time and transmits the signal to the controller 13. A PID controller is selected, and the controller 13 adjusts the heating power of the heating wire 19 according to the preset cleaning temperature range to maintain a constant steam temperature.
[0032] The connecting pipe 17 is the cleaning fluid channel (made of 316L stainless steel, temperature resistance ≥150℃). The chamber between the heating pipe 18 and the connecting pipe 17 is the heating chamber, which is equipped with a ring heating wire 19 (power 500-800W) and a temperature sensor 110 (accuracy ±1℃). The cleaning fluid temperature is stabilized at 80-120℃ by the PID controller. When the steam temperature reaches the preset value, connector 111 connects to the vacuum pipe to be cleaned, and steam enters the pipe through connector 111 to efficiently clean the inner wall of the pipe.
[0033] During the cleaning process, the controller 13 controls the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 25 via the electric valve 26 to ensure that the cleaning material in the storage tank 21 can accurately and stably enter the steam generator 11 for heating treatment. At the same time, the controller 13 also monitors the operating status of the entire cleaning device. Once an abnormality occurs in the equipment, such as excessive temperature or abnormality in the steam generator 11, the audible and visual alarm 112 will immediately sound an alarm to remind the operator to handle the situation in time and ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
[0034] The liquid level sensor 23 on the storage tank 21 monitors the liquid level of the material inside the tank in real time. When the liquid level is lower than the preset value, the controller 13 will issue a reminder signal to prompt the operator to replenish the material in time. The support legs 12 and the support columns 24 support the steam generator 11 and the storage tank 21 respectively, ensuring the stability of the entire cleaning device.
[0035] The heating system features over-temperature protection (automatic power-off at 150℃) and an anti-dry-burning sensor; The vacuum pipeline uses explosion-proof solenoid valves (pressure resistance ≥ 0.3 MPa) and is equipped with an ozone leak alarm (threshold ≤ 0.1 ppm).
[0036] In summary, the vacuum pipeline cleaning device with heated cleaning pipe provided by this utility model uses a steam generator 11 to generate high-temperature steam and then reheats the steam at the end of the connecting pipe 17, ensuring the temperature and cleaning effect of the cleaning steam and achieving efficient cleaning of the inside of the pipeline.
[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
