- the throttling device includes a throttling cavity, the bottom of the inner wall surface of the throttling cavity is a hemispherical surface, and a throttling hole is provided at the bottom of the throttling cavity.
- the throttling element is a needle valve or a capillary tube.
- the liquid debubbling device of the present application sets the liquid inlet at the upper part of the debubbling cavity and in a direction parallel to the tangential direction of the upper part of the inner wall surface, so that when the mixed liquid flows from the liquid inlet into the upper part of the debubbling cavity, the original linear motion of the mixed liquid in a direction parallel to the tangential direction of the upper part of the inner wall surface is changed into a circular motion along the upper part of the inner wall surface. Under the action of centrifugal force, the mixed liquid is thrown toward the inner wall surface of the debubbling cavity. Once it contacts the inner wall surface, it will move in a spiral shape along the upper part of the inner wall surface toward the lower part of the inner wall surface.
- the mixed liquid will move in a spiral shape along the upper part of the inner wall surface toward the lower part of the inner wall surface.
- the liquid will be more likely to concentrate on the inner wall than the bubbles, that is, the liquid part will be thrown to the inner wall in a larger proportion, while the bubbles will be relatively far away from the inner wall.
- the mixed liquid When the mixed liquid enters the lower part of the inner wall surface where the radius gradually decreases from top to bottom, since the flow of the mixed liquid is not in an absolute horizontal plane, the gravity acceleration will be converted into an increase in the actual tangential velocity under the shape coordination of the lower part of the inner wall surface. Moreover, the rotation radius gradually decreases, so the inertial centrifugal force of the mixed liquid will also increase, so the trend of liquid separation outward in the mixed liquid will be more obvious. At the same time, as the rotation radius gradually decreases, the mixed liquid will also produce a velocity component toward the bottom center of the inner wall surface, and finally form a centripetal radial liquid flow under the extrusion of the outer vortex at the bottom.
- the bubbles will gradually float upward. Since subsequent liquid is continuously injected near the inner wall surface, the bubbles will gradually converge toward the center of the debubble cavity and upward. As a result, the liquid that descends to the bottom of the debubble cavity contains almost no bubbles and can be discharged through the first liquid discharge port located in the middle of the bottom.
- the mixed liquid containing a higher proportion of bubbles cannot be discharged from the first discharge port under the action of the original tangential velocity, and still forms a spiral flow. At the same time, its outside is still restricted by the downward moving external vortex flow close to the inner wall. Therefore, this part of the mixed liquid containing a higher proportion of bubbles forms a spiral upward flow and is discharged through the second discharge port.
- the liquid debubbling device can effectively separate the liquid with more bubbles and the liquid without bubbles in the mixed liquid. Compared with static gas-liquid separation or not using a chamber with a radius that gradually decreases from top to bottom, the separation speed and separation efficiency are higher.

- FIG7 is a top view of FIG5.
- the liquid debubbling device provided in the first embodiment of the present application is applied to semiconductor cleaning equipment, and the liquid debubbling device includes: a debubbling cavity 50 and a cover 40.
- the inner wall surface of the debubble cavity 50 is a rotating curved surface, and the radius of the lower part 52 of the inner wall surface gradually decreases from top to bottom;
- the debubble cavity 50 is provided with a liquid inlet 53 and a first liquid discharge port 54, the liquid inlet 53 is arranged at the upper part of the debubble cavity 50 and the liquid inlet direction of the liquid inlet 53 is parallel to the tangential direction of the upper part 51 of the inner wall surface of the debubble cavity 50, and the first liquid discharge port 54 is located in the middle of the bottom end of the inner wall surface.
- the cover body 40 is disposed on the debubble cavity 50 .
- the cover body 40 has a second liquid discharge port 41 (as shown in FIG. 11 ).
- the second liquid discharge port 41 is disposed opposite to the center of the top of the debubble cavity 50 .
- the lower portion 52 of the inner wall of the defoaming cavity 50 is in the shape of a truncated cone.
- the lower portion 52 of the inner wall can also be in other shapes, such as a part of an ellipsoidal surface, a part of a parabola, a part of a rugby-shaped surface, a part of a spherical surface, or even a part of a teardrop-shaped surface, as long as the radius gradually decreases from top to bottom, or even a sudden angle appears at the lower portion 52 of the inner wall. Change does not necessarily mean a smooth transition.
- the first liquid discharge port 54 is provided with a liquid outlet connector 60
- the second liquid discharge port 41 is provided with a gas-liquid outlet pipe connector 30 .
- the liquid inlet 53 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 10 outside the bubble cavity 50 .
- the edge of the cover 40 can be mounted on the defoaming cavity 50 by engaging a male threaded connector 20 such as a screw or a bolt with a threaded hole disposed on the top surface of the defoaming cavity 50.
- a sealing ring 90 is disposed between the defoaming cavity 50 and the cover 40 so as to achieve sealing between the defoaming cavity 50 and the cover 40.
- the sealing ring 90 is, for example, partially fixed in a mounting groove on the top surface of the defoaming cavity 50.
- the liquid inlet 53 is arranged at the upper part of the debubble cavity 50 and in a direction parallel to the tangential direction of the upper part 51 of the inner wall surface, so that when the mixed liquid flows from the liquid inlet 53 into the upper part of the debubble cavity 50, the original linear motion of the mixed liquid in a direction parallel to the tangential direction of the upper part 51 of the inner wall surface is changed into a circular motion along the upper part 51 of the inner wall surface. Under the action of centrifugal force, the mixed liquid is thrown toward the inner wall surface of the debubble cavity 50. Once it contacts the inner wall surface, it will move in a spiral shape along the upper part 51 of the inner wall surface toward the lower part 52 of the inner wall surface.
- the density of the liquid in the mixed liquid is much greater than the density of the bubbles mixed therein, during the above spiral motion process, the liquid will be more likely to concentrate on the inner wall surface than the bubbles, that is, the liquid part will be thrown toward the inner wall surface in a larger proportion, while the bubbles will be relatively far away from the inner wall surface.
- the bubbles will gradually float upward. Since subsequent liquid is continuously injected near the position of the inner wall surface, the bubbles will gradually converge toward the center of the debubble cavity 50 and upward. As a result, the liquid that descends to the bottom of the debubble cavity 50 contains almost no bubbles and can be separated by the liquid in the middle of the bottom.
- the mixed liquid containing a large proportion of bubbles cannot be discharged from the first liquid discharge port 54 under the action of the original tangential velocity, and still forms a spiral flow. At the same time, its outside is still restricted by the downward-moving external vortex flow close to the inner wall surface.
- this part of the mixed liquid containing a large proportion of bubbles forms a spiral upward flow, that is, an upward internal vortex flow, and is finally discharged through the second liquid discharge port 41.
- the flow state of the mixed liquid in the debubble cavity 50 is shown in Figure 8.
- the spiral line where the hollow arrow is located in Figure 8 represents the downward external vortex flow, and the spiral line where the solid arrow is located represents the upward internal vortex flow.
- the liquid debubbling device can effectively separate the liquid with more bubbles and the liquid without bubbles in the mixed liquid. Compared with static gas-liquid separation or not using a chamber with a radius that gradually decreases from top to bottom, the separation speed and separation efficiency are higher.
- Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view of the liquid debubbling device provided in Example 1 of the present application at another position, so as to more clearly show the situation in which the mixed liquid entering the debubbling chamber from the liquid inlet is guided by the guide member; as shown in Figures 4, 8 and 9, preferably, the liquid debubbling device also includes a guide member arranged opposite to the liquid inlet 53, and the first surface of the guide member facing the liquid inlet 53 gradually decreases in the direction of flow of the first surface (i.e., the liquid inlet direction) along which the mixed liquid flowing into the liquid inlet 53 is gradually reduced, and the first surface is used to increase the speed at which the mixed liquid flows downward.
- the first surface i.e., the liquid inlet direction
- the first surface is the lower surface of the guide member. Since the lower surface of the guide member is inclined, the lower surface of the guide member is also the surface of the guide member facing the liquid inlet 53. After the mixed liquid enters the defoaming cavity 50, it first impacts the lower surface of the guide member and is guided by the lower surface of the guide member to change the flow direction.
- part of the velocity of the mixed liquid flowing into the liquid inlet 53 can be converted into a velocity toward the bottom of the defoaming cavity 50, so that the mixed liquid has a horizontal velocity component in the direction parallel to the tangential direction of the upper part of the inner wall surface 51, and a downward vertical velocity component along the height direction of the defoaming cavity 50, which not only accelerates the downward flow velocity of the mixed liquid, accelerates the separation of the inner vortex flow and the outer vortex flow, and avoids a large amount of mixed liquid from accumulating in the upper part of the defoaming cavity 50 for a long time, but also can accelerate the mixed liquid.
- the gas-liquid dispersion in the mixture breaks the original tendency of uniform mixing of bubbles and liquid, thereby improving the separation efficiency.
- the acute angle between the first surface and the horizontal direction gradually increases.
- the first surface may be a curved surface with arc surfaces at all positions, or may be a broken line surface including a plurality of planes, wherein rounded corner transition or angled corner transition may be adopted between the planes.
- the acute angle between the first surface and the horizontal direction gradually increases, which can gradually convert the tangential velocity of the mixed liquid along the upper part 51 of the inner wall surface into a vertical downward velocity component, thereby reducing the speed loss of the mixed liquid during the direction change process, which is beneficial to ensure the flow velocity of the mixed liquid in the defoaming chamber 50, so as to facilitate the smooth gas-liquid separation.
- the first surface of the guide blade may be an inclined plane, which may also achieve the function of partially converting the horizontal component of the flow velocity of the mixed liquid into a velocity component in the vertical direction.
- the guide member is a rotating impeller 70
- the rotating impeller 70 and the cover body 40 rotate circumferentially relative to each other and are axially fixed.
- the rotating impeller as a guide member may include a plurality of guide blades, the lower surface of the guide blades being the first surface, and during the operation of the liquid defoaming device, the lower surfaces of different guide blades may be impacted by and guide the mixed liquid flowing into the liquid inlet 53.
- the guide blades in the rotating impeller may have a root with an angle of, for example, 60° to the horizontal direction, and a free end with an angle of, for example, 30° to the horizontal direction.
- the rotating impeller 70 is used as a guide member.
- the guide member When the mixed liquid enters the liquid inlet 53, the guide member will rotate along the liquid inlet direction, that is, rotate along the circumferential direction of the upper part of the inner wall surface, thereby reducing the direct impact of the liquid flow on the guide member.
- the obstruction of the guide member to the liquid flow can also be reduced, and the loss of liquid energy in the flow process can be reduced.
- different guide blades can be impacted by the liquid flow, avoiding a fixed area of a guide blade from being continuously impacted for a long time, which is conducive to extending the service life of the guide member.
- the guide member can be fixedly arranged, for example, one or more guide plates are fixedly arranged, and the lower surface of the guide plate gradually decreases along the liquid inlet direction.
- the lower surface of the guide plate can be a plane or a curved surface, so that the mixed liquid entering along the liquid inlet 53 can convert the tangential momentum into the vertical downward momentum, thereby accelerating the liquid flow.
- Figure 10 is a structural schematic diagram of the cover body in the liquid defoaming device provided in Example 1 of the present application
- Figure 11 is a structural schematic diagram of the cover body in the liquid defoaming device provided in Example 1 of the present application from another perspective
- the cover body 40 includes: a cover body 42 and an impeller mounting portion 43.
- the impeller mounting portion 43 is fixedly connected to a surface of the cover body 42 facing the inner side of the defoaming cavity 50 ; an impeller fixing member 80 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the impeller mounting portion 43 , and the impeller fixing member 80 is used to axially fix the rotating impeller 70 .
- the rotating impeller 70 and/or the impeller mounting portion 43 can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene.
- Polytetrafluoroethylene is not only chemically stable, but also has self-lubricating properties, which is beneficial to reducing the friction between the impeller mounting portion 43 and the rotating impeller 70, and there is no need to specially set up a rotating bearing to install the rotating impeller 70.
- the rotating impeller 70 can be prevented from moving in the axial direction of the impeller mounting portion 43 .
- a vertical axis can also be set at the top of the inner wall surface of the defoaming chamber 50.
- the vertical axis can be fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall surface through one or more cantilever beams, and the rotary impeller 70 is rotatably installed on the vertical axis.
- the vertical axis can be solid or hollow. As long as the mixed liquid at the liquid inlet 53 flows to the rotary impeller 70, the rotary impeller 70 is driven to rotate.
- the rotary impeller 70 is relatively circumferentially rotated and axially fixedly arranged with the cover body 40, which is not limited to the rotary impeller 70 being connected to the cover body 40 through an axis or a cylinder-like part, but represents the relative motion relationship between the two. No matter where the rotary impeller 70 is rotatably installed, it is sufficient as long as it is relatively circumferentially rotated and axially fixed with the cover body 40.

- the impeller fixing member 80 is also hollow cylindrical, and in addition to the portion with external threads, the impeller fixing member 80 is also provided with a flange portion. After the impeller fixing member 80 is screwed to the sleeve portion, the flange portion of the impeller fixing member 80 can axially limit the rotating impeller 70.
- the space on the outer surface of the sleeve can be released, so that the sleeve can have a longer length to cooperate with the rotating impeller 70, thereby increasing the length of the rotating connection support for the rotating impeller 70 and improving the stability of the movement of the rotating impeller 70.
- the liquid defoaming device further includes a drain pipe 45, which is located at the top of the space in the defoaming cavity 50 and is connected to the second drain port 41.
- the impeller mounting portion 43 can be coaxially arranged with the drain pipe 45, or can be non-coaxially arranged with the drain pipe 45.

That is, in addition to the second drain port 41 and the drain pipe 45 being arranged on the cover body 42, an impeller mounting portion 43 is separately arranged to install the rotating impeller 70. As long as the rotating impeller 70 can rotate under the action of the mixed liquid at the liquid inlet 53 and change the flow direction of the mixed liquid, the effect of accelerating the flow of the liquid and dispersing the bubbles and liquid in the mixed liquid can also be achieved.
- the impeller fixing member 80 can be a positioning pin that radially passes through the impeller mounting portion 43, or a full circle or multiple sections of annular outer flange are provided on the outer side surface of the bottom of the impeller mounting portion 43, and the lower surface of the annular outer flange is a conical surface.
- the impeller mounting portion 43 can squeeze the annular outer flange during the installation process and then be installed in place.
- the liquid debubbling device also includes a drain pipe 45, which is located at the top of the space in the debubbling cavity 50 and is connected to the second drain port 41.
- the top of the drain pipe 45 is provided with a radial through hole 46 that penetrates the wall thickness direction of the drain pipe 45.
- the drain pipe 45 is fixedly connected to the side of the cover body 42 facing the inner side of the defoaming cavity 50. More specifically, the drain pipe 45 can be coaxially arranged with the second drain port 41. After the mixed liquid of the internal vortex flow flowing upward enters the drain pipe 45, it can directly enter the second drain port 41.
- the drain pipe 45 can be integrally provided with the impeller mounting portion 43 mentioned above.
- the liquid in the mixed liquid with a large bubble content moving upward can be discharged from the radial through hole 46, so that the bubble content in the mixed liquid discharged from the second drain port 41 is larger.
- the upper portion 51 of the inner wall surface of the defoaming cavity 50 is a cylindrical surface.
- the upper part of the debubble cavity 50 can have a larger chamber space, which can offset the pulse generated by the diaphragm pump and achieve a flow stabilization and buffering effect.
