As shown in the figures, the safety sampling module 100 includes a sampling bottle fixing seat 110 and a cap tightening device 150. The sampling bottle fixing seat 110 is used to fix the body 610 of the sampling bottle 600, and the cap tightening device 150 is installed above the sampling bottle fixing seat 110 and is used to open and close the bottle cap 620 of the sampling bottle 600. The sampling bottle fixing seat 110 uses air pressure to clamp and fix the sampling bottle 600 with a structure such as an air pressure ring, and the cap tightening device generates a torsional force using air pressure to rotate the bottle cap 620, thereby opening and closing the bottle cap 620 of the sampling bottle 600. 【0030】 The safety sampling module 100 uses air pressure to press and secure the sampling bottle 600 and various elements, effectively preventing sparks from being generated during the sampling process, reducing the risks involved in the sampling process, and improving the safety and convenience of the sampling process. 【0031】 Therefore, the safety sampling module 100 enables safe and rapid sampling of chemical solutions. In particular, semiconductor factories often use a variety of chemical substances due to the requirements of the manufacturing process, and highly dangerous chemical substances such as flammable, organic, and strong acids and alkalis, such as acetone and isopropyl alcohol, are frequently used in the workplace. If the design, operation, and control of the sampling process are inadequate, serious accidents and disasters such as poisoning, fire, and explosion can occur. Once an accident occurs, it not only causes significant losses to the company but also leads to substantial losses such as increased insurance premiums and loss of orders. The safety sampling module 100 of the present invention can safely and rapidly sample chemical solutions, avoid risks such as sparks during the sampling process, reduce risks in the sampling process, and improve the safety and convenience of the sampling process. 【0032】 In one embodiment, the chemical solution used for sampling may include a chemical solvent, a chemical solution, or other liquid. Examples include silica methane (SiH4), phosphine (PH3), hydrofluoric acid (HF), acetone, isopropyl alcohol, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), hydrofluoric acid (HF), nitric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid, or deionized water (DI water). 【0033】 In one embodiment, the safety sampling module 100 further includes a rotating base 120 and a pneumatic rotary actuator 122.

The belt drive system 170 is connected to a cap-tightening device 150 and is used to open and close the bottle cap 620 of the sampling bottle 600. Furthermore, the air motor 180 is connected to the belt drive system 170 and is used to open and close the bottle cap 620 of the sampling bottle 600 by causing the belt drive system 170 to roll, which in turn causes the cap-tightening device 150 to roll. 【0036】 In one embodiment, the safety sampling module 100 further includes a chemical discharge piping transfer device 130, which is installed between the sampling bottle fixing seat 110 and the lid tightening device 150 and is used to inject the chemical into the sampling bottle 600. 【0037】 In one embodiment, the chemical discharge piping repositioning device 130 includes a discharge piping holder 134 and a pneumatic horizontal movement device 132. The discharge piping holder 134 is used to fix a plurality of chemical discharge piping 140, and the pneumatic horizontal movement device 132 is connected to the discharge piping holder 134 and is used to move the chemical discharge piping 140 to align with the sampling bottle 600. 【0038】 Furthermore, please refer to Figure 3. In one embodiment, the safety sampling module 300 not only includes the safety sampling module 100 shown in Figures 1 and 2, but also further includes a sealed housing 310 and a double-glazed isolation door 320.
