Description

[0001] Chemical Auto Supplying System [

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic chemical supply system, and more particularly, to an automatic chemical supply system capable of automatically supplying a chemical product to prevent a safety accident in advance.

Semiconductors and display manufacturers use various chemicals due to the nature of the process. Among the various types of chemicals used, some chemicals are known to have a great negative impact on health.

For example, benzene is used as an organic solvent in photoprocesses that form circuit patterns on wafers. Exposure to benzene can cause headache, nausea, and dizziness in the central nervous system, leading to leukemia .

Continuous exposure to glycol ethers used in photoprocessing reduces spontaneous abortion and reproductive functions such as delayed pregnancy.

In the process of injecting ions into semiconductors, when arsine is used, arsenic is produced as a byproduct. It causes lung cancer, liver cancer and skin cancer. When acetone used throughout semiconductor wafer processing line is exposed, Stimulates and seriously damages the central nervous system.

Arsenic, which is used when injecting ions from a semiconductor wafer processing line, may also belong to a first class hazardous substance with high carcinogenicity.

In addition to the chemical agents described above, for example, chemical agents such as hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid are widely used in manufacturing semiconductors and display parts or products, particularly in cleaning parts or products.

In this way, chemical agents such as hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid are used in large quantities unlike other chemical agents, so they must be supplied and replenished from time to time. In supplying or supplementing such chemical agents, And the like are known to be highly exposed to chemicals.

In fact, FOSHAN, which is a problem with subsequent leakages in Korea in 2014, is often used in washing wafers together with sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Long-term exposure to such chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid may cause bone weakness, Which can cause serious health problems.

Therefore, when a chemical such as hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, or nitric acid is supplied to a facility, it is necessary to automatically supply the chemical. However, until now, there is no system for automatically supplying chemical such as hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid Given the fact that it is dependent on manual operation, it is necessary to research and develop a system that can prevent safety accidents by automatically supplying chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid.

In order to supply (replenish) the chemical to the facility as described above, the processes of FIGS. 1 to 3 must be repeated. At this time, if the processes of FIGS. 1 to 3 are performed by the manual operation of the operator, .

Therefore, in the case of the present embodiment, the process of FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 is automatically performed to supply (replenish) chemical chemicals to the process facility by applying the coupler docking apparatus 100.

4 and 5, the coupler docking apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment can be supported on the base frame 300 together with the stationary chemical supply unit 200

A sliding rail 310 is provided on the base frame 300 to support the coupler docking apparatus 100 so that the coupler docking apparatus 100 can be slidably moved with respect to the fixed stationary chemical supplying unit 200 do.

In other words, the coupler docking device 100 mounted on the sliding rail 310 may be spaced from the fixed stationary chemical supply unit 200 as shown in FIG. 4, (Not shown).

By applying the base frame 300 and the sliding rail 310 as described above, it is possible to flexibly cope with the occurrence of a failure of the coupler docking apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. That is, if the coupler docking apparatus 100 fails, the maintenance work may be performed after moving the coupler docking apparatus 100 from the stationary chemical supply unit 200 fixed as shown in FIG.

The coupler docking apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment may include an apparatus frame 120, a coupler docking unit 130, and a coupler loading unit 140.

The apparatus frame 120 forms an appearance of the coupler docking apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment and supports various components and configurations including the coupler docking unit 130 and the coupler loading unit 140. Therefore, the apparatus frame 120 can be made of a metal frame having excellent rigidity.

It is necessary to observe the inside of the apparatus frame 120 from the outside because the operations of the above-described Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 are performed in the apparatus frame 120.

Therefore, a transparent or translucent window 123 is installed on the outer wall of the apparatus frame 120. The transparent or semitransparent window 123 may be openable and closable.

A chemical drain tank 115 is provided in the lower region of the apparatus frame 120, which is produced by the combination of the frames.

1 through 3 may proceed downward in the apparatus frame 120, the chemicals may fall down to the bottom of the apparatus frame 120 within the apparatus frame 120, a chemical drain tank 115 is provided for draining water. If the chemical drain tank 115 is full, it can be replaced with a new one.

At one side of the apparatus frame 120, a touch screen 116 for operating the apparatus is provided. The operator can select the docking or undocking process for the chemical supply by operating the touch screen 116.

On the other side of the apparatus frame 120, a fire extinguisher 117 is provided. It may be desirable that the fire extinguisher 117 be adjacent to the fire extinguisher 117 in view of the high likelihood of fire being caused by the chemical.

6 and 7, a loader door 126 is provided at one side of the apparatus frame 120 in which the coupler loading unit 140 is disposed. The loader door 126 can be automatically operated by the loader door actuator 126a provided at one side of the apparatus frame 120. [

The loader door actuator 126a may be a hydraulic cylinder, but may be replaced by other driving means, and may be controlled by the controller 190. [ 6 illustrates a state in which the loader door 126 is removed in FIG. 6. When the loader door 126 is removed, the components installed in the apparatus frame 120, for example, the coupler docking part 130 and the coupler loading part 140 ) Can be exposed.

The coupler loading unit 140 is provided in the apparatus frame 120 and is connected to the coupler docking unit 130 and serves to load the movable coupler 110 do.

The operator can remove the stopper (not shown) from the movable coupler 110 and then load the movable coupler 110 into the coupler loading unit 140. The coupler loading unit 140 can be used for clamping the movable coupler 110, The movable coupler 110 is moved by the coupler loading unit 130 until the movable coupler 110 is moved by the coupler docking unit 130 and docked to the fixed coupler 210 of the fixed chemical supply unit 200 as shown in FIG. 140).

The coupler loading unit 140 may be a structure for clamping the movable coupler 110 in a clamping manner outside the movable coupler 110 or a structure for clamping the movable coupler 110 in a power roller manner. It does not matter what method is applied.

Although not shown in detail, the coupler loading unit 140 may further include a clamping confirmation sensor 145 (see FIG. 16) for confirming whether the movable coupler 110 is normally clamped to the coupler loading unit 140 .

When the clamping confirmation sensor 145 senses that the movable coupler 110 has not been normally clamped to the coupler loading unit 140, it transmits the information to the controller 190 so that no further operation is performed. That is, the coupler docking unit 130 or the protective cap removing unit 150 is not operated.

As shown in FIG. 9, a hose guide 113 is further provided in the apparatus frame 120. The hose guide 113 is configured such that when the coupler docking portion 130 moves the movable coupler 110 to the stationary coupler 210 of the stationary chemical supply unit 200, Or guiding against other parts.

The coupler docking unit 130 may be configured to automatically dock or undock the movable coupler 110 connected to one side of the chemical supply hose 111 for supplying chemicals to the fixed coupler 210 as shown in FIGS. It plays a role.

That is, as described above, the movable coupler 110, which is loaded and clamped in the coupler loading unit 140, is moved to the fixed coupler 210 of the fixed chemical supply unit 200 and docked to the fixed coupler 210, And serves to move the movable coupler 110, including the loading unit 140.

The coupler docking unit 130 has a structure for moving the movable coupler 110 including the coupler loading unit 140 by a ball screw or a linear motor as illustrated in FIGS. . That is, when the motor 131 is driven, the coupler docking unit 130 may be applied with the structure in which the coupler docking unit 130, in which the movable coupler 110 is clamped, is moved along the rail or the ball screw 132.

In applying the coupler docking unit 130 to the apparatus frame 120, it may be considered that the coupler docking unit 130 is installed in the lower portion of the apparatus frame 120, that is, the bottom region .

Of course, there is no problem in that the movable coupler 110 is automatically docked or undocked to the fixed coupler 210 even if the coupler docking unit 130 is installed in the lower part of the apparatus frame 120, that is, the floor area.

However, when the movable coupler 110 is docked with respect to the fixed coupler 210 as described above, there is a high possibility that chemicals may fall during the docking operation of the movable coupler 210. When the dropped chemical is supplied to the lower portion of the apparatus frame 120, There is a high possibility that the coupler docking unit 130 may be damaged when the docking unit 130 is contacted. Therefore, in this embodiment, the coupler docking unit 130 is mounted on the apparatus frame 130 in order to prevent the coupler docking unit 130 from being damaged by preventing the chemical agent from contacting the coupler docking unit 130, (120).

Since a plurality of fixed couplers 210 are disposed in the fixed chemical supply unit 200 and the movable coupler 110 and the coupler loading unit 140 are used as many as the number of the fixed couplers 210, 130 may also be installed on both sides of the side region of the apparatus frame 120, respectively. However, if only one fixed coupler 210 is provided, the coupler docking unit 130 may be installed only on one side of the apparatus frame 120.

In order to automatically dock the movable coupler 110 to the fixed coupler 210 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 15, the protective cap 220 coupled to the fixed coupler 210 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 12 to 14 It must be removed from the fixed coupler 210 and its operation can also be automatically carried out by the protective cap remover 150. [

That is, the coupler docking apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is provided with a protective cap removing unit 150 for removing the protective cap 220 from the fixed coupler 210. The protective cap remover 150 can also be controlled by the controller 190. [

12 to 15, the protective cap removing unit 150 includes a protective cap clamp 160, a clamp driving unit 170 for driving the protective cap clamp 160, a fixed coupler 210, And a plurality of protective cap lockers 155 disposed around the protection cap 220 to lock or unlock the protection cap 220.

The protective cap clamp 160 serves to clamp the protective cap 220. In this embodiment, the protection cap clamp 160 has a structure in which the protection cap 220 is clamped on both sides of the protection cap 220 to a clamping type.

The clamp driver 170 serves to drive the protection cap clamp 160 to clamp the protection cap 220 into the clamping type.

The clamp driving unit 170 includes a clamp actuator 171 connected to the protective cap clamp 160 to drive the protective cap clamp 160 and a clamp actuator 170 connected to the fixed coupler 210 An actuator X-axis driving unit 172 that drives the clamp actuator 171 so as to move in the X-axis direction approaching or separating from the actuator X-axis driving unit 172, And an actuator Y-axis drive unit 173 for moving the actuator X-axis drive unit 172 and the clamp actuator 171 to each other.

When a signal for removing the protective cap 220 is input from the fixed coupler 210, the protective cap clamp 160 is held by the actuator Y-axis drive unit 173 and the actuator X- Axis actuator unit 172 and the actuator Y-axis drive unit 173 are moved in the direction indicated by the arrows in FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, by the fixed coupler 210. Since the opening 210a is exposed in the fixed coupler 210, the movable coupler 110 is docked to the opening 210a of the fixed coupler 210 by the coupler docking unit 130 as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 .

The protective cap rocker 155 is disposed around the fixed coupler 210 and serves to lock or unlock the protective cap 220. The protection cap 220 can be removed by the operation of the clamp driving unit 170 after the protection cap 220 is unlocked by the protection cap locker 155 as shown in FIG.

The protective cap rocker 155 may include a half-moon shaped rocker body 155a and a body arm 155b connected to the rocker body 155a. The protective cap rocker 155 may be arranged symmetrically on both sides of the protective cap 220. [

The rocker drive actuator 157 is connected to the locker body 155a of the protective cap locker 155. [ The actuator 157 for driving the rocker, which can be applied as a hydraulic cylinder, is connected to the body arm 155b of the protective cap locker 155 to rotationally drive the protective cap locker 155.

For example, when the circular portion of the rocker body 155a is pressed against the protection cap 220 as shown in FIG. 12, the protection cap 220 is locked by the protection cap locker 155, It can not be removed. However, when the protective cap locker 155 is partially rotated as shown in FIG. 13 due to the action of the actuator 157 for rocker drive, the force pressing the protective cap 220 is removed, so that the protective cap 220 is removed .

When the operation of automatically docking or undocking the movable coupler 110 of the coupler docking device 100 to the fixed type coupler 210 of the fixed chemical supply unit 200 proceeds, It is difficult to flow to the door 126 side.

Therefore, in the case of the present embodiment, an auto shutter 127 is further provided to prevent such a phenomenon.

The auto shutter 127 is disposed in a central area of the apparatus frame 120 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, and serves to partition a space in the apparatus frame 120.

The auto shutter 127 may be connected to the shutter driving unit 128 for driving the auto shutter 127. [ The shutter driving unit 128 may be a hydraulic cylinder exposed to the outside of the upper end of the apparatus frame 120.

In order to shut down the central area of the apparatus frame 120, the shutter driving unit 128 must detect a signal for operating the shutter driving unit 128.

To this end, the chemical leak detection unit 181, the pressure detection unit 182, the gas detection unit 183, and the controller 190 are further provided as shown in FIG.

In addition, a space formed between one side of the apparatus frame 120, that is, between the auto shutter 127 and the stationary chemical supply unit 200 is provided with a shower nozzle 185 for spraying water for fire extinguishing, A carbon dioxide nozzle 186, and a fire auto damper 187 are provided.

The chemical leak detection unit 181 senses whether the chemical is leaking. The pressure sensing unit 182 senses the pressure. The gas sensing unit 183 senses the gas leakage.

The shower nozzle 185 and the carbon dioxide nozzle 186 serve to extinguish the fire by spraying water or carbon dioxide when a fire occurs or is likely to occur due to leakage of chemical or gas, Thereby preventing the fire from spreading toward the stationary chemical supply unit 200.

Finally, the controller 190 controls the operation of the shutter driving unit 128 based on a signal from at least one of the chemical leak detecting unit 181, the pressure detecting unit 182, and the gas detecting unit 183 .

In particular, when leakage occurs in the supply of the chemical, the controller 190 drives the shutter driving unit 128 to automatically lower the auto shutter 127 to prevent the chemical from diffusing.

In addition, the controller 190 controls the operation of the shower nozzle 185 and the carbon dioxide nozzle 186 to fire water or carbon dioxide to extinguish the fire when a fire occurs or is likely to occur due to a chemical agent or gas leakage While controlling the operation of the fire auto damper 187.

The controller 190 that performs this role may include a central processing unit 191, a memory 192, and a support circuit 193.

In the present embodiment, the central processing unit 191 controls the controller 190 based on signals from at least one of the chemical leak detection unit 181, the pressure detection unit 182 and the gas detection unit 183, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 128 < / RTI >

The memory 192 (MEMORY) is connected to the central processing unit 191. The memory 192 is a computer-readable recording medium that may be installed locally or remotely and may be any of various types of storage devices such as, for example, random access memory (RAM), ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, At least one or more memories.

A support circuit 193 (SUPPORT CIRCUIT) is coupled with the central processing unit 191 to support the typical operation of the processor. Such a support circuit 193 may include a cache, a power supply, a clock circuit, an input / output circuit, a subsystem, and the like.

The controller 190 controls the shutter drive unit 128 based on a signal from at least one of the chemical leak detection unit 181, the pressure detection unit 182 and the gas detection unit 183. In this case, ).

In addition, the controller 190 controls the operation of the shower nozzle 185 and the carbon dioxide nozzle 186 to fire water or carbon dioxide to extinguish the fire when a fire occurs or is likely to occur due to a chemical agent or gas leakage While controlling the operation of the fire auto damper 187.

At this time, the controller 190 controls the operation of the shutter driving unit 128 based on signals from at least one of the chemical leak detecting unit 181, the pressure detecting unit 182, and the gas detecting unit 183 And the like may be stored in the memory 192. Typically, software routines may be stored in memory 192. The software routines may also be stored or executed by other central processing units (not shown).

Although processes according to the present invention are described as being performed by software routines, it is also possible that at least some of the processes of the present invention may be performed by hardware. As such, the processes of the present invention may be implemented in software executed on a computer system, or in hardware such as an integrated circuit, or in combination of software and hardware.

Hereinafter, the operation of the automatic chemical supply system according to the present embodiment will be briefly described.

First, the loader door 126 is opened and the movable coupler 110 is loaded into the coupler loading section 140. Then, a signal for supplying (replenishing) chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid is inputted through the touch screen 116.

When a signal for supplying (replenishing) chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid is input, the protective cap 220 is removed from the fixed coupler 210 by the operation of FIGS. 12 to 15 of the protective cap removing unit 150 Removed.
