Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of single crystal silicon manufacturing, in particular to a rapid cleaning device for single crystal furnace crucible materials. Background Art

[0002] After a single crystal furnace has been running for a long time, it is necessary to remove or knock out the crucible material (cruciform bottom material) in the crucible to ensure a stable thermal environment. The crucible with holes at the bottom (containing the crucible) is easy to clean manually by knocking the silicon material from the bottom holes. The cleaning method for this crucible is usually manual operation, such as using a tungsten-cobalt alloy hammer to knock it out manually. However, manual knocking has the following problems:

[0003] 1. The high-temperature crucible bottom material creates a bad working environment, which is prone to high-temperature burns on employees' arms. Therefore, employees need to wait for the crucible bottom material to cool to a certain temperature before knocking it out, which leads to a long waiting time and low efficiency.

[0004] 2. The high-hardness crucible bottom material is not easy to knock off, which increases the workload of employees;

[0005] 3. The knocking process is relatively violent, which causes great damage to the Brabon and is not conducive to the long-term use of the Brabon;

[0006] 4. During the knocking process, the silicon material splashes and easily causes harm to the operator.

[0012] Preferably, a hydraulic cylinder 1 is fixedly connected between the fixed frame and the movable plate, and the hydraulic cylinder 1 can drive the movable plate to move up and down along the I-beam.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping portion includes a rotating plate fixedly connected to the output end of the driving machine, both ends of the rotating plate are hinged with arc plates through pins, and the two adjacent arc plates are detachably connected by bolts and nuts. When the crucible needs to be clamped, the two adjacent arc plates are fixed by bolts and nuts so that the crucible can be clamped in the arc plates.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of anti-skid grooves are provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped plate, and the anti-skid grooves increase the roughness of the inner side of the arc-shaped plate.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a rapid cleaning device for crucible material in a single crystal furnace pier can quickly clean a crucible 8 with holes at the bottom, the crucible 8 contains a crucible, and the crucible contains silicon material. The technical solution designed in the present application can quickly push the crucible bottom material (crucible and silicon material) in the crucible 8 out of the crucible 8, including a bottom plate 1, four I-beams 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1, a fixing frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the I-beam 2, a movable plate 4 is slidably arranged in the groove between two adjacent I-beams 2, a driving machine 5 is installed on the movable plate 4, the driving machine 5 is an integrated structure of an electric motor and a reducer, and the reduction gear is arranged to avoid the motor from rotating too fast when starting, and a clamping portion 7 is arranged between the output ends of the two driving machines 5, and the clamping portion 7 is used to clamp the crucible 8 with holes at the bottom.

[0026] A pushing portion 9 is provided on the fixed frame 3. When the clamping portion 7 clamps the crucible 8, the driving machine 5 can drive the crucible 8 to rotate so that the hole on the bottom of the crucible 8 is located directly below the pushing portion 9. Then, under the push of the pushing portion 9, the crucible material in the crucible 8 can be pushed out.

[0027] When it is necessary to clean the crucible material, that is, to clean the crucible bottom material in the crucible bond 8, the disassembled crucible bond 8 can be transported to the bottom plate 1 by an external transport trolley, and then the crucible bond 8 is clamped by the clamping part 7. Subsequently, the movable plate 4 drives the clamped crucible bond 8 to move upward, and then the external transport trolley is removed, and the driving machine 5 drives the crucible bond 8 to rotate, so that the hole at the bottom of the crucible bond 8 can be located directly below the pushing part 9. Under the slow push of the pushing part 9, the crucible bottom material adhered to the crucible bond 8 can be pushed out, avoiding manual knocking out and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, it also includes a carrier 10, which has a braking function. The carrier 10 is movably arranged on the base plate 1, and a skirt 11 is integrally formed at the opening of the crucible 8, and an annular groove is provided on the skirt 11, and a channel adapted to the inner diameter of the annular groove is provided on the carrier 10.

[0029] Since the skirt 11 of the opening of the crucible bond 8 is adapted to the hole on the carrier 10, after the crucible bond 8 is clamped and rotated, the carrier 10 can be moved to the bottom of the crucible bond 8, and then the crucible bond 8 is driven downward by the movable plate 4, so that the skirt 11 can be stuck in the hole on the carrier 10, so that when the pushing part 9 slowly pushes the crucible bottom material in the crucible bond 8, the carrier 10 supports the crucible bond 8, and at the same time, the crucible bottom material in the crucible bond 8 can be pushed down through the hole.

[0030] In another preferred embodiment of the utility model, a hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected between the fixed frame 3 and the movable plate 4, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is connected to the fixed frame 3. The hydraulic cylinder 6 can drive the movable plate 4 to move up and down along the I-beam 2.

[0031] Starting the hydraulic cylinder 6 can push the movable plate 4 to move up and down, thereby pushing the crucible 8 clamped and fixed by the clamping part 7 to move up and down.

[0032] In another preferred embodiment of the utility model, the clamping portion 7 includes a rotating plate 71 fixedly connected to the output end of the driving machine 5, both ends of the rotating plate 71 are hinged with arc plates 72 through pins, and two adjacent arc plates 72 are detachably connected by bolts and nuts.

[0033] It should be noted that a plurality of anti-skid grooves 73 are provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped plate 72 , and the anti-skid grooves 73 increase the roughness of the inner side of the arc-shaped plate 72 .

[0034] The external transport trolley transports the crucible 8 that needs to be cleaned to the bottom plate 1, and then the hydraulic cylinder 6 pushes the moving plate 4 to move, so as to adjust the height position of the curved plate 72, and then the curved plate 72 is bent so that the inner wall of the curved plate 72 is close to the crucible 8, and then the two adjacent curved plates 72 are fixed by bolts and nuts, so that the crucible 8 can be fixed in the curved plate 72, and the anti-slip groove 73 opened in the curved plate 72 increases the friction between the curved plate 72 and the surface of the crucible 8, so that the clamping and fixing effect of the crucible 8 is better. After the crucible 8 is fixed, the hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the crucible 8 to move up, so as to facilitate the removal of the external transport trolley, and then the carrier 10 is placed directly under the crucible 8, and then the hydraulic cylinder 6 places the crucible 8 on the carrier 10, and the skirt 11 can be stuck in the channel on the carrier 10, so that the carrier 10 can support the crucible 8.

[0035] It should be noted that the pushing part 9 includes a hydraulic cylinder 91 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 3, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 91 is fixedly connected to a pushing plate 92. The bottom of the pushing plate 92 can be provided with a high-temperature resistant and flame-retardant cushion layer. When the pushing plate 92 slowly pushes the bottom material of the crucible, the cushion layer can play a buffering role. The cushion layer can be a PEEK plate made of a high-temperature resistant and non-flammable plastic material, and the radius of the pushing plate 92 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom hole of the crucible 8.

[0036] When the hole on the bottom of the crucible 8 is located directly below the pushing plate 92, the hydraulic cylinder 91 drives the pushing plate 92 to move downward slowly. During the slow downward movement of the pushing plate 92, the bottom material in the crucible 8 can be slowly pushed out, thereby improving the cleaning speed of the crucible 8 and avoiding manual cleaning, which also requires waiting for the crucible 8 to cool down.

[0037] A person skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely illustrative and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention is limited to these examples. Under the concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments may be combined, the steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of simplicity.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention are intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
