The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention will be understood in specific cases by those of ordinary skill in the art.
The invention discloses a reflux quantitative combined atmosphere annealing device which is mainly divided into four parts, wherein the main air source part (usually inert gas N2 or air, air supplied by an air pump or a high-pressure air bottle), the organic vapor humidifying part (used for carrying other trace organic gases), the gas mixing part (used for determining the final required flow) and the purging annealing part (used for annealing crystallization of a film in the link) are sequentially and respectively arranged according to the trend of an air path.
The device comprises a gas cylinder 1, wherein the gas cylinder 1 is provided with two types of pipelines for outputting gas, namely a first type gas pipeline 2 and a second type gas pipeline 3, the first type gas pipeline 2 is directly connected with a gas mixer 4, and the second type gas pipeline 3 enters the gas mixer 4 after passing through an organic steam humidifier 27. The outlet of the gas mixer 4 is connected with an atmosphere chamber 15, and the atmosphere chamber 15 is simultaneously connected with the gas cylinder 1. The gas cylinder 1 is usually provided with inert gas N 2 or air, and is supplied with air by an air pump or a high-pressure gas cylinder, and an outlet in the gas cylinder 1 can be provided with the air pump according to requirements.
The first-type gas pipeline 2 and the second-type gas pipeline are both provided with the flow regulating valve 31, and the flow on the two pipelines can be regulated through the flow regulating valve 31, so that the volume of each gas entering the gas mixer 4 is regulated, namely the mixing proportion of the two paths of gases is regulated.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the schematic structure of the organic vapor humidifier 27 is shown in fig. 2, the organic vapor humidifier 27 is used for inputting into the second type gas pipeline 3, the organic vapor humidifier 27 includes a housing 5, a support stand 8 and a liquid chamber 12 are disposed in the housing 5, the liquid chamber 12 is disposed at an upper end inside the gas mixer 4, the support stand 8 is disposed at a lower end inside the housing 5, a cavity structure is disposed inside the liquid chamber 12 and is used for carrying the organic solvent, a rectangular array of organic vapor humidification columns 10 is disposed on the support stand 8, and an upper end of the organic vapor humidification column 10 is inserted into the liquid chamber 12, and the inserted height is greater than a height of the liquid in the liquid chamber 12. The liquid chamber 12 is in the upper part of the organic vapor humidification column 10 to better wet the column under the force of solvent gravity.
The organic vapor humidifying column 10 is matched with different organic vapor humidifying columns 10 according to different organic solvents, so that the organic vapor humidifying column has a large specific surface area structure, has strong wettability to organic vapor and cannot react with the organic vapor.
It should be understood that fig. 2 is an embodiment of the organic vapor humidifier 27 of the present invention, and in practical application, the organic vapor humidifier 27 can have other structures, as long as the conditions of carrying organic gas in vapor and humidifying the organic vapor to saturation can be satisfied, and the organic vapor humidifying column 10 in the dashed line box in fig. 2 can be replaced by other structures.
The device utilizes the physical property parameters of the organic steam to quantify the content of the organic atmosphere by controlling the temperature. The organic solvent enters the liquid chamber 12 through the liquid inlet 6, passes through the organic vapor humidifying column 10, and is adsorbed on the organic vapor humidifying column 10. The organic vapor humidifying column 10 has a large specific surface area and a small air flow resistance, and is mainly aimed at, when the air flows to the end of the channel, saturating the organic gas carried by the air (i.e. the air pressure reaches the saturated vapor pressure), and controlling the inside of the organic vapor humidifying column when the air can not be inhaled into the organic atmosphere any more. The gas enters the interior of the housing 5 through the first gas inlet 7, passes through the organic vapor humidifying column 10, and then flows out of the gas outlet 11. The liquid chamber 12 is provided with a sealing structure at the contact of the organic vapor humidifying column 10 and the liquid chamber 12 to prevent liquid from leaking from the chamber directly into the channel interior. The organic solvent infiltrates the organic vapor humidifying column 10 and permeates downwards by means of gravity and capillary action, so that the whole column is completely kept in an infiltrated state, and the adsorption saturation state is reached as soon as possible when the gas circulates. The design advantage of this structure lies in along with the liquid reduces, still can make the adsorption column keep the infiltration state for a long time, guarantees the adsorption quantity of gas.
Furthermore, the saturated vapor pressure of the gas is calculated from the formula:
ln(P1/P2)=(ΔHvap/R)((1/T2)-(1/T1)) (1)
In equation 1, ΔH vap is the vaporization enthalpy of the liquid, R is the ideal gas constant, namely 8.314J/(K. Mol), T 1、P1 is the known temperature and the corresponding known vapor pressure at that temperature, and T 2 is the actual temperature. From this, it is clear that temperature is a major factor determining vapor pressure.
It should be noted that the component does not have a heating source, i.e., the temperature of the air flow T 2 at the inlet and the outlet is the same, and is room temperature. The heating is not performed because the gas flow is heated and then discharged from the gas outlet 11, the temperature of the external pipe is lower than that of the gas flow, and the saturated vapor pressure of the output pipe doped with the organic gas is lowered, and the supersaturated vapor is liquefied at this time, thereby blocking the gas pipe.
In addition, design supporting bench 8 upper surface into the low angle slope structure (left low right high in the drawing), the height of gas vent 7 side is higher than the height of first air inlet 7, prevents that the liquid that the drip got off from building up in the passageway bottom, influences the adsorption effect of air current, has seted up vertical downward leakage fluid dram 9 on the casing 5 for unnecessary liquid can flow in along the slope and then flow out through leakage fluid dram 9, and supporting bench 8 and the bottom of casing 5 have the clearance, makes for certain buffer space of liquid.
The gas processed by the organic steam humidifier 27 contains organic gas, and in normal cases, the organic gas in the gas path can be saturated, and the organic gas in the second gas path 3 can be diluted by subsequently adjusting the mixing ratio of the first gas path 2 and the second gas path 3, so that the content of the organic gas in the final gas is controlled, and the gas ratio and atmosphere input into the atmosphere bin 15 can meet the requirements.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the gas conduit 22 is connected to the heater 24 via a connecting rod 23, and the material of the connecting rod 23 is a thermal insulator to avoid heating the gas conduit 22.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the first type of gas line and the second type of gas line can each be provided with a plurality of gas lines in parallel, as the case may be, and each gas line is provided with a float flow meter 14. The air pump can provide a stable outlet air pressure, and the float flow meter 14 can measure the flow rate as reliable when the inlet and outlet air pressure is constant according to the Bernoulli principle. In the case of an outdoor environment, a pressure relief valve is added to ensure the inlet pressure of the float flow meter 14 while a cylinder is fitted.
In some embodiments of the invention, the first type gas line 2 and the second type gas line 3 are mixed by means of a tee 13 before entering the gas mixer 4, in which tee 13 the gases in the two lines of the first type gas line 2 and the second type gas line 3 are premixed and then enter the inlet section of the gas mixer 4. The gas mixer enters from the inlet end, and the inside of the gas mixer is provided with staggered baffles, so that different gases can be fully and uniformly mixed and discharged from the outlet section.
In some embodiments of the invention, a gas heat exchanger 16 is provided in the communication line between the gas mixer 4 and the atmosphere chamber 15 to control the inlet mixture temperature of the gas conduit 22.
In some embodiments of the invention, the gas mixer 4 can be supplied with other types of gases, determined by the type of gas required for purging, other sources 30 in the figures.
The working process of the device is as follows:
The gas bottle 1 inputs gas into a first type gas pipeline 2 and a second type gas pipeline 3 respectively, the gas in the second type gas pipeline 3 carries the organic gas after being processed by an organic steam humidifier 27, the carrying quantity is adjusted by the temperature in the organic steam humidifier 27, after the first type gas pipeline 2 and the second type gas pipeline 3 are mixed by a gas mixer 4, the mixed gas flow output by the gas mixer 4 is connected to a gas conduit 22 and a gas gun spray gun 21 through a gas heat exchanger 16, and finally the mixed gas flow is purged to the surface of a film. The guide rail 20 limits the gas spray gun 21 so that the gas spray gun 21 can only move forward and backward. In addition, the position of the gas purge and the air outlet 29 of the gas spray gun 21 are arranged on the same vertical plane with the inner end of the heater 24, so that the heating and atmosphere of the film are synchronous, and the film can be subjected to the action of the mixed gas when growing. The inner end of the heater 24 is connected with the spiral structure 17, and the motor controls the propulsion step length to control the moving speed of the spiral structure 17 and the gas guide tube 22. The film support platform 18 is internally provided with grooves 26 for securing the film to avoid changing the position of the film during the atmosphere purging process. The thinner the thickness of the platform is, the better the high-efficiency heat conduction is ensured. It is noted that the direction of the air flow emitted by the air tap forms a certain angle with the film, and the effect of the air tap is shown in fig. 5, namely, a negative pressure area is formed at the left side of the nozzle during purging, and the negative pressure acts to enable the atmosphere inside the box body to move towards the nozzle (blue arrow), so that the unheated film is prevented from being influenced by doping atmosphere due to diffusion of the atmosphere (yellow arrow). The air inlet 3 is also provided by an air pump, as shown in fig. 6, air enters from the air inlet and is horizontally blown to the tuyere, the air pump atmosphere replaces the atmosphere in the box to protect the film of the unannealed part, and meanwhile, the temperature of the air flow is lower, so that the influence of the heat source caused by heat conduction is weakened in the flowing process.
The growth of the film is microscopic and sensitive, the traditional air gun purging process is to wait for the completion of the purging of the whole glass and then to carry out annealing operation, and the part of the film which is purged first can experience more complicated atmosphere disturbance before annealing, thus being easy to cause uneven overall quality of the film. According to the invention, the organic atmosphere effect is maximized through the linkage of blowing and annealing, and the additional air path arrangement can also ensure that the crystallized part is not interfered by the external atmosphere, so that the problems of uneven film quality and poor repeatability are avoided to a certain extent. The film annealing process is a crystallization process accompanied by solvent evaporation, and the main function of the gas purging is to make the precursor solution (commonly called wet film) on the film reach a supersaturation state rapidly, at this time, most of the solvent in the wet film is volatilized along with the high-pressure gas, and a large number of nucleation sites are formed in the wet film, and these nucleation sites can help the film form a high-quality ordered crystal structure in the next high-temperature annealing stage. During the process, the introduction of trace organic steam can affect the volatilization rate of the wet film, and the selection of proper atmosphere can effectively regulate the mass transmission of the whole film nucleation crystallization process, and on the other hand, during the organic steam treatment, the dissolution characteristic of the steam to the wet film can cause the film to have repeated dissolution/recrystallization process. The crystallization process is the process by which the system gradually reaches a steady state, while the dissolution process makes the system more active. It follows that the introduction of the organic solvent affects both the mass transport and the energy transfer of the system. The proposal of the atmosphere control annealing device not only ensures that the processing parameters, namely the temperature, the flow rate and the processing time, can be easily controlled, but also optimizes the whole annealing process and improves the crystal quality. In addition, the film annealing process is more suitable for assembly line operation, and the film annealing process can be stabilized through the control of the connecting rod, so that the uniformity and the repeatability of the film are improved.
The invention has the following characteristics
(1) The organic gas content is quantitatively controlled by dynamic balance of saturated vapor pressure of an organic source in the closed container and flow of a controllable inert atmosphere (N 2).
(2) The humidifying component with large specific surface area in the channel is fully infiltrated under the combined action of capillary force and gravity, and the solvent on the surface is accelerated to volatilize and reach the saturation of solvent vapor rapidly when the gas flows through the humidifying component.
(3) In order to ensure that the gas is absorbed to saturation, the steam is subjected to a condensation treatment (lower than the gas temperature) in advance in the pipeline before entering the gas mixer, the pipeline temperature is manually controlled by the refrigerating equipment, and the condensed gas flows back to the vapor pressure saturation device.
(3) The annealing mode is a linear push type annealing (heating stage push type annealing), that is, the heating stage starts to contact from one end of the film (the film starts to be heated from one end) until the film advances to the other end of the film.
(4) The pushing type heat table is connected with the air knife through a connecting rod, so that the air knife and the heat table act on the same position of the film.
(5) The curved shape of the air tap makes the jet air flow form an acute angle with the film.
(6) The other N 2 air flow is provided by an air pump and is horizontally blown in from the other end of the annealing device (the other end of the film) to prevent the unheated film from being influenced by the doping atmosphere due to the diffusion of the atmosphere, and the air flow is low in temperature and is used for reducing the effect of heat diffusion as much as possible.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, alternatives, and improvements that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
