Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleanroom technology, and in particular to a process partition. Background Technology

[0002] Cleanrooms are primarily used in precision machinery manufacturing (such as the processing of gyroscopes and miniature bearings) and semiconductor manufacturing (such as the production of large-scale integrated circuits). Cleanrooms are equipped with process partitions to divide them into process areas and inspection areas. Process equipment is located in the process area, while inspection personnel can observe the operation of the equipment in the process area from the inspection area. Currently, most process partitions use metal grilles, mesh fences, or railing-style partitions, and these partitions are mostly only fixed to the floor structure, resulting in poor stability. Furthermore, when equipment malfunctions or unexpected accidents occur, existing partitions are unlikely to withstand significant impact forces, thus lacking sufficient safety.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the stability, impact resistance, and safety of partitions in cleanrooms has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a process partition to improve its stability, impact resistance, and safety.

[0005] This utility model provides a process partition for dividing a raw tea workshop into a processing area and an inspection area. The production workshop includes a floor structure and a wall structure. The process partition includes a partition body and at least two supporting structures spaced apart. Each supporting structure includes a first bent portion and a second bent portion. The first bent portion is spaced apart from the floor structure, and the second bent portion is located between the first bent portion and the floor structure, and spaced apart from the wall structure. One end of the second bent portion is connected to the first bent portion, and the other end is connected to the floor structure. The end of the first bent portion facing away from the second bent portion is connected to the wall structure. At least partially adjacent second bent portions are connected by the partition body.

[0006] The process partition provided by this utility model connects one end of the support structure to the floor structure and the other end to the wall structure. Furthermore, at least some of the second bends of two adjacent support structures are connected through the partition body. When the process partition is subjected to impact force, the support structure, wall structure, and floor structure can be used to offset most of the impact force, thereby effectively reducing the risk of partition damage and improving the stability, impact resistance, and safety of the process partition.

[0007] In one possible implementation of this utility model, the partition body is a panel structure made of transparent material. Compared to existing metal grilles, mesh fences, or railing-style partitions, it can meet the needs of maintenance personnel to observe the process area through the partition while improving the impact resistance and safety of the partition body.

[0008] In one possible implementation of this utility model, the height of the partition body is h1, and h1 satisfies: 1800mm≤h1≤2500mm. This is to reduce the diffusion of harmful substances into the inspection area and to reduce noise to a certain extent.

[0009] In one possible implementation of this invention, the partition body has a gap h2 between it and the floor structure, where h2 satisfies: 80mm ≤ h2 ≤ 150mm. This effectively reduces the risk of shortened partition lifespan due to direct contact between the partition body and the ground.

[0010] In one possible implementation of this invention, the process partition further includes a lighting device installed at the first bend to meet the lighting needs of the inspection area.

[0011] In one possible implementation of this utility model, a first cavity is provided inside the first bend, and at least a portion of the wire for electrically connecting the lighting equipment is inserted into the first cavity to improve the aesthetics of the process partition.

[0012] In one possible implementation of this utility model, at least two partition bodies are provided between two adjacent sets of two second bends; the two partition bodies are installed one-to-one on the two adjacent second bends, and there is a gap between the two partition bodies. This allows the portion connected to either partition body or the supporting structure to form an independent structure. This effectively reduces the risk of structural cracking, collision, or damage caused by external factors such as uneven foundation settlement or temperature changes, thereby effectively improving the safety and durability of the process partition and extending its service life.

[0013] In one possible implementation of this utility model, the process partition further includes a movable door panel, which is disposed between at least one set of two adjacent second bends; the movable door panel is hinged to any adjacent second bend. Then, inspection personnel can open the movable door panel to move between the process area and the inspection area.

[0014] In one possible implementation of this utility model, the process partition further includes a connecting beam, which is disposed opposite to the movable door panel. The supporting structures disposed on both sides of the movable door panel are connected by the connecting beam. This improves the overall integrity of the process partition and further enhances its overall strength and safety.

[0015] In one possible implementation of this utility model, the process partition further includes a handrail and a kickboard. The kickboard is installed at the second bend and is used to create a gap between the kickboard and the floor structure, which helps to reduce the risk of vehicles or personnel colliding with the partition body, thereby further improving the safety of the process partition. The handrail is positioned opposite the kickboard and is installed at the second bend to improve inspection comfort and partition safety. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. The terms expressing position and direction described in the embodiments of this utility model are illustrative based on the accompanying drawings, but changes can be made as needed, and all such changes are included within the protection scope of this utility model. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model are only for illustrating relative positional relationships and do not represent actual proportions.

[0019] It should be noted that specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many ways other than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] Cleanrooms are primarily used in precision machinery manufacturing (such as the processing of gyroscopes and miniature bearings) and semiconductor manufacturing (such as the production of large-scale integrated circuits). Cleanrooms are equipped with process partitions to divide them into process areas and inspection areas. The process area is used for equipment installation and product manufacturing, while inspection personnel can observe the operation of equipment within the process area from the inspection area. During product manufacturing, abnormal mechanical operation, continuous high temperatures, chemicals, dust, and malfunctions in high-altitude automated conveyor systems can all pose hazards to inspection personnel. However, current process partitions mostly use metal grilles, mesh fences, or railing-style partitions, and these partitions are mostly only fixedly connected to the floor structure, resulting in poor stability. Furthermore, when equipment malfunctions or sudden accidents occur, existing partitions are unlikely to withstand significant impact forces, thus lacking sufficient safety.

[0021] In view of this, the process partition provided by this utility model, by connecting one end of the partition to the floor structure and the other end to the wall of the cleanroom, is used to improve the stability, impact resistance, and safety of the process partition. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram illustrating a production workshop. Understandably, the production workshop can be a clean or non-clean space, as long as there is a separation requirement between the process area and the inspection area; this invention does not impose specific limitations. Specifically, the production workshop includes a floor structure (not shown in the diagram) and a wall structure 02. A process partition is installed inside the production workshop to divide it into a process area 03 and an inspection area 04. It should be noted that the process partition is an open structure, meaning that air can circulate between process area 03 and inspection area 04, and the cleanliness levels in both areas are essentially the same.

[0023] In addition, the production workshop also includes a ceiling structure (not shown in the figure), which is set apart from the floor structure and connected by the wall structure 02 to form a clean space in the production workshop.

[0024] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a process partition provided by this utility model; Figure 3 Used along Figure 2 X-direction display Figure 2 The provided process partition structure. Specifically, the process partition includes a partition body 1 and at least two supporting structures 2, with the at least two supporting structures 2 spaced apart. The partition body 1 is connected to the floor structure 01 and the wall structure 02 via the supporting structures 2.

[0025] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the wall structure 02 includes a wall and multiple support columns 021, and the multiple support columns 021 are spaced apart. The spacing between two adjacent support columns 021 is, for example, 7200mm, in order to improve the strength of the wall structure 02.

[0026] When specifically setting up support structure 2, continue to refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The supporting structure 2 includes a first bend 21 and a second bend 22, along the direction from the ceiling structure 05 to the floor structure 01 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown in the Z-axis direction), the first bend 21 is spaced apart from the floor structure 01, and the second bend 22 is located between the first bend 21 and the floor structure 01, and is spaced apart from the wall structure 02. One end of the second bend 22 is connected to the first bend 21, and the other end is connected to the floor structure 01. Understandably, inspection personnel can move freely between the second bend 22 and the wall structure 02.

[0027] Furthermore, there is an angle of less than 180° between the first bend 21 and the second bend 22. For example, the first bend 21 and the second bend 22 can be made perpendicular to each other, i.e., the first bend 21 and the second bend 22 can be combined to form an inverted L-shape, with the horizontal side of the inverted L being the first bend 21 and the vertical side being the second bend 22. The end of the first bend 21 facing away from the second bend 22 is connected to the wall structure 02. Understandably, depending on actual installation requirements, the first bend 21 can be connected to the wall of the wall structure 02, or it can be connected to the support column 021 of the wall structure 02. Simultaneously, the side of the second bend 22 facing away from the first bend 21 is connected to the floor structure 01, so that a stable connection is formed between the support structure 2, the floor structure 01, and the wall structure 02. At least two adjacent second bends 22 are connected by the partition body 1.

[0028] By using the process partition provided by this utility model, one end of the support structure 2 is connected to the floor structure 01 and the other end is connected to the wall structure 02, and at least two adjacent second bending portions 22 of the support structures 2 are connected by the partition body 1, when the process partition is subjected to impact force, the support structure 2, the wall structure 02 and the floor structure 01 can be used to offset most of the impact force, so as to effectively reduce the risk of partition damage and improve the stability, impact resistance and safety of the process partition.

[0029] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the specific structure of the bending part. An example of the bending part can be a square steel pipe, and the cross-sectional dimension of the square steel pipe is 100mm, for example. 30mm 3mm (length) Width (Wall thickness). This is used to further enhance the strength of the process partition.

[0030] Furthermore, this utility model does not limit the specific structure of the partition body 1. For example, the partition body 1 can be a plate structure, and the plate structure is made of a transparent material, such as tempered glass, with an exemplary thickness of 12mm. The tempered glass is connected to the second bending portion 22 via fasteners, exemplarily L-shaped adapter pieces and screws. Specifically, the tempered glass can be fixedly connected to the second bending portion 22 via adapter pieces and screws. On one hand, compared to existing metal grilles, mesh fences, or railing-style partitions, the plate structure partition body 1 is advantageous in improving the impact resistance and safety of the partition body 1. Furthermore, the inherently high impact resistance of tempered glass further enhances the impact resistance and safety of the partition body 1. On the other hand, the transparent plate structure, while improving the impact resistance and safety of the partition body 1, also meets the needs of maintenance personnel to observe the process area 03 through the partition from the inspection area 04. It also improves the ease of cleaning the partition.

[0031] It is worth mentioning that the height of the partition body 1 can be set to h1, and h1 satisfies: 1800mm≤h1≤2500mm. Based on this, when there is a gap h2 between the partition body 1 and the floor structure 01, and h2 satisfies: 80mm≤h2≤150mm, the distance from the floor structure 01 to the highest point of the partition body 1 is between 1880mm and 2650mm. This height can block most personnel, meaning that it is difficult for inspection personnel or other unrelated personnel to directly climb over from the inspection area 04 to the process area 03 or touch the equipment in the process area 03. In addition, it can also reduce the diffusion of harmful substances into the inspection area 04, and when the partition body 1 is made of tempered glass, it can also play a certain role in reducing noise.

[0032] Furthermore, the equipment in process area 03 will vibrate during operation, which may cause the process partition to move, such as moving up or down, or sinking due to its own weight. Therefore, by creating a gap h2 between the partition body 1 and the floor structure 01, the risk of shortened partition lifespan due to direct contact between the partition body 1 and the ground can be effectively reduced.

[0033] Since the partition body 1 is located at the second bend 22, and the second bend 22 is situated between the first bend 21 and the floor structure 01, when the height of the partition body 1 is greater than 1800mm, the ground clearance of the first bend 21 will also be greater than 1800mm, which can meet the passage needs of most personnel within the inspection area 04. Alternatively, the first bend 21 and the partition body 1 can be spaced apart. For example, the distance between the first bend 21 and the partition body 1 can be 800mm to 1100mm, in which case the ground clearance of the first bend 21 is greater than 2600mm, further improving the ease of passage in the inspection area 04.

[0034] In one alternative implementation, continue to refer to Figure 3 The process partition also includes a lighting device 3, which is installed on the first bend 21 and electrically connected to the power supply via a wire to meet the lighting needs of the inspection area 04.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that a first cavity can be provided inside the first bent portion 21, and at least a portion of the wire used for electrically connecting the lighting equipment 3 can be inserted into the first cavity. Specifically, the wire can pass through the first cavity and then be embedded in the wall to improve the aesthetics of the partition. For example, the bent portion can be a square steel pipe, and a wire-passing hole can be opened on the side wall of the square steel pipe. The wire can then extend into the inner cavity of the square steel pipe through the wire-passing hole, and then be embedded in the wall through the inner cavity of the square steel pipe and electrically connected to the power supply.

[0036] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, since the interval between two adjacent support columns 021 of the wall structure 02 is 7200mm, and the process partition includes at least two support structures 2, and the at least two support structures 2 are spaced apart, specifically, the interval between two adjacent support structures 2 can be 2400mm. Then, during the installation of the process partition, the installation position of the support structure 2 on the wall can effectively avoid the windows on the wall.

[0037] For ease of explanation, two adjacent second bends 22 are defined as a group of support structures 2. The process partition has multiple groups of support structures 2, and in the multiple groups of support structures 2, the second bends 22 in some or all of the groups are connected by the partition body 1 to further improve the safety of the process partition.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 For display Figure 2A partial structural diagram of the provided process partition is shown. At least one set of two adjacent second bends 22 are provided with two partition bodies 1. The two partition bodies 1 are installed one-to-one on the two adjacent second bends 22, and there is a gap A between the two partition bodies 1. This gap A is exemplarily 70mm~150mm, so that the part connected to either partition body 1 and the supporting structure 2 forms an independent structure. This effectively reduces the risk of structural cracking, collision, or damage caused by external factors such as uneven foundation settlement or temperature changes, thereby effectively improving the safety and durability of the process partition and extending its service life.

[0039] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process partition may also include a movable door panel 4, which is disposed between at least one set of two adjacent second bends 22, and the movable door panel 4 is hinged to any adjacent second bend 22, so that the inspection personnel can open the movable door panel 4 and travel between the process area 03 and the inspection area 04.

[0040] In addition, the process partition may also include a connecting beam 5. Along the Z-axis direction as shown in Figure 2, the connecting beam 5 is positioned opposite to the movable door panel 4, and the support structures 2 on both sides of the movable door panel 4 are connected via the connecting beam 5. Specifically, the second bend 22 of the support structure 2 can be connected to another adjacent second bend 22 via the connecting beam 5 to improve the overall integrity of the process partition and further enhance its overall strength and safety. Furthermore, the second bend 22 only has its top height equal to the height of the first bend 21. Therefore, by connecting the first bend 21 to another adjacent first bend 21 via the connecting beam 5, the strength and safety requirements of the process partition are met while improving the convenience of personnel passage.

[0041] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the specific structure of the connecting beam 5. The connecting beam 5 can be a square steel pipe, which can be fixedly connected to the bent part by welding or screws.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The process partition may also include a handrail 6, which is installed on the second bend 22 and spaced apart from the floor structure 01. For example, the distance between the handrail 6 and the floor structure 01 is 1000mm~1100mm. On the one hand, the inspection personnel can hold the handrail 6 to improve the comfort of the inspection. On the other hand, when the partition body 1 is made of transparent material, it can also reduce the risk of partition damage caused by personnel not noticing the partition body 1.

[0043] In addition, the process partition may also include a kick plate 7, which is installed on the second bend 22 and located between the handrail 6 and the floor structure 01. The kick plate 7 and the floor structure 01 are spaced apart. For example, the distance between the kick plate 7 and the floor structure 01 is 50mm to 100mm, which helps to reduce the risk of vehicles or people hitting the partition body 1, so as to further improve the safety of the process partition.

[0044] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the structure of the handrail 6 and the kick plate 7. For example, both can be square steel tubes, and the size of the square steel tubes can be set according to actual needs. It is understood that the long sides of the handrail 6 and the kick plate 7 are arranged along the length direction of the inspection area 04 to further improve the safety of the process partition.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that when the interval between two adjacent support columns 021 of the wall structure 02 is 7200mm, the interval between two adjacent support structures 2 can be 2400mm. The width of one side wall of the second bend 22 of the support structure 2 is 100mm, and the length of the handrail 6 and the kick plate 7 can be 2500mm. The handrail 6 and the kick plate 7 are installed on the side wall of the second bend 22, and the partition body 1 is installed between the two support structures 2 to form a module. Furthermore, multiple modules can be sequentially connected according to the length of the inspection area 04 to form a partition, which improves the ease of assembly and disassembly of the partition. Understandably, two adjacent modules can share one support structure 2 or have separate corresponding support structures 2.

[0046] In summary, the process partition provided by this utility model, by connecting one end of the support structure 2 to the floor structure 01 and the other end to the wall structure 02, and connecting at least two adjacent second bending portions 22 of the support structures 2 through the partition body 1, can offset most of the impact force when the process partition is subjected to impact force, thereby effectively reducing the risk of partition damage and improving the stability, impact resistance and safety of the process partition.

[0047] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
