[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor cooling equipment testing technology, and in particular to a pressure holding and leak detection device for semiconductor cooling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The cooling equipment used in the semiconductor industry uses a special and expensive refrigerant. Leaks in this system can cause significant direct economic losses and lead to downtime for customer mainframes and production shutdowns.

[0003] Traditional equipment cannot withstand pressure due to the inability of water tanks and pipes to detect leaks under high pressure.

[0004] Leaks that occur during equipment transportation due to vibration or other reasons cannot be guaranteed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0006] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a pressure-holding and leak detection device for semiconductor cooling equipment, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of the present invention provides a pressure holding and leak detection device for semiconductor cooling equipment, including an equipment flange and a pipe flange, wherein a pipe flange is detachably connected to one side of the equipment flange, and a sealing gasket is sandwiched between the equipment flange and the pipe flange. A pressure-bearing pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the pipe flange, and an end seal is fixedly connected to the end of the pressure-bearing pipe. The bottom of the pressure-bearing pipeline is fixedly connected to a high-strength air inlet, and the port of the high-strength air inlet is detachably connected to an air seal. A pressure gauge is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure-bearing pipeline, and the pressure gauge detects the internal pressure of the pressure-bearing pipeline and equipment. A pointer is movably connected to the surface of the pressure gauge, and a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure gauge dial. A fixing pin is movably connected to the end of the fixing rod, the fixing pin pointing to the scale of the pressure gauge, and a pin is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod. A fastener is threaded onto the pin and tightened onto the end of the fixing pin.

[0008] Preferably, the equipment flange and the pipe flange are made of cast iron, and the sealing gasket sandwiched between the equipment flange and the pipe flange is made of rubber.

[0009] The above technical solution involves designing the system to be pressure-resistant, that is, selecting pressure-resistant pipelines, filling them with inert gas, and using pressure changes to confirm whether a leak has occurred.

[0010] Pressure-bearing pipelines and their characteristics: thicker walls to withstand higher pressures.

[0011] Higher material strength: High-strength alloy steel, stainless steel or special plastics (such as PE100, PVC-U) are usually used to ensure that the material does not deform or crack under high pressure.

[0012] More stringent connection methods are employed, such as welding and flange connections, to ensure sealing and strength.

[0013] Device structure: Sealed connection assembly: The equipment flanges and pipe flanges are made of cast iron and are detachably connected by bolts, with clamped rubber sealing gaskets to ensure the airtightness of the interface.

[0014] The pressure-bearing pipeline is welded and fixed to the pipeline flange, and the end is welded and sealed to form a semi-closed pressure-bearing cavity with a design pressure resistance of ≥10 bar.

[0015] Inflation and pressure monitoring components: The high-strength inflation port is located at the bottom of the pressure-bearing pipeline and is used to fill with 5 bar nitrogen gas. After inflation, it is sealed by the port seal.

[0016] The pressure gauge is fixed to the top of the pressure-bearing pipeline to monitor the internal pressure in real time; its dial has a movable pointer.

[0017] Fixed needle adjustment mechanism: The fixed rod is welded to the side of the pressure gauge, and the end is connected to the fixed needle through a pin and a washer nut, which can lock the initial pressure value position.

[0018] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the end seal is welded to the pressure-bearing pipeline, and the high-strength inlet is used to fill in inert gas.

[0019] Operating principle: Design the equipment piping to withstand pressure of 10 bar or more, and to be semi-completely sealed.

[0020] Fill with nitrogen at 5 bar.

[0021] Connect the pressure gauge and mark the position of the pressure gauge pointer.

[0022] The equipment and pressure gauge were shipped together to the installation site.

[0023] Before installation, check the pressure gauge to ensure it has the factory-set pressure and that the equipment is leak-free.

[0024] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the pressure gauge's detection end detects the internal pressure of the pressure-bearing pipeline and equipment.

[0025] Preferably, of any of the above embodiments, the pointer may also be referred to as a moving needle, and the fixed rod is bonded or welded to the side of the pressure gauge dial.

[0026] Pre-shipment pressure testing and leak detection process: Pre-pressurized seal: Nitrogen gas at 5 bar is injected into the pressurized pipelines and equipment through a high-strength inlet to avoid the risk of oxidation by utilizing the stability of the inert gas.

[0027] After sealing, let it stand for 24 hours. If the pressure gauge reading does not drop, it is determined that there is no leakage.

[0028] Pressure marking and locking: Adjust the fixing pin to the initial pressure position of the pointer (e.g., 5 bar), tighten the washer nut to fix the angle, and form the factory pressure reference.

[0029] Pressurized transportation: The equipment and pressure gauge are shipped as a whole and remain in pressure-maintaining condition until the customer's site, during which time the pressure-bearing pipeline is kept sealed.

[0030] Leakage detection before on-site installation Intuitive pressure comparison: Check if the pressure gauge pointer deviates from the factory value marked on the fixed needle.

[0031] If the pointer reading drops, it indicates a leak occurred during transportation or storage and the device needs to be returned to the factory for repair; if there is no deviation, the seal is satisfactory.

[0032] Secondary verification: The pipe flanges and equipment flanges are detachable and can be connected to an external leak detector for retesting, ensuring double verification of reliability.

[0033] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the angle of the fixing pin is lockable, the fixing pin is movably connected to the pin, and the fastener is specifically a washer nut.

[0034] Full lifecycle leak monitoring By combining pressure-bearing pipelines with fixed pins, the pressure status can be monitored in a visual manner throughout the entire process from production to installation, avoiding the blind spots of traditional methods that rely solely on terminal detection.

[0035] Risk and cost reduction Pre-shipment leak detection can intercept more than 90% of potential leaks, reducing equipment downtime losses caused by leaks after installation.

[0036] The fixed pin marking design requires no special tools, allowing customers to quickly determine the status of the equipment and reduce communication and maintenance costs.

[0037] High reliability structure The combination of cast iron flange and rubber gasket is pressure-resistant and corrosion-resistant; the welded end seal and the locking mechanism with a washer nut ensure that the pressure reference does not deviate under transportation vibration.

[0038] Assemble the device, purge with nitrogen to 5 bar and lock the fixing pin.

[0039] Record the pressure value before shipment and avoid severe vibration during transportation.

[0040] The customer can complete the initial leak detection within minutes by comparing the position of the pointer with that of the fixed pin on-site.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The pressure-holding and leak-detection device for this semiconductor cooling equipment, through the coordinated arrangement of pressure-bearing pipes, end seals, high-strength air inlets, port seals, pressure gauges, pointers, fixing rods, fixing pins, pins, and fasteners, can achieve the following objectives: Full lifecycle leak monitoring: By combining pressure-bearing pipelines with fixed pins, the pressure status can be monitored in a visual manner throughout the entire process from production to installation, avoiding the blind spots of traditional methods that rely solely on terminal detection.
