Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crystal pulling additive device, and more particularly to a device for adding additives during the crystal pulling process. Background Technology

[0002] Crystal pulling and doping is a key process in the growth of single-crystal silicon by doping with specific elements to control the electrical properties of silicon crystals.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN218115659U, disclose a raw material preparation device for Czochralski single-crystal silicon production. This patent includes a furnace, a batching box, and a hopper. A stirring motor is mounted on one end of the batching box via a mounting base. The top of the batching box is connected to the hopper via a feed pipe, which is equipped with a manual control valve. A partition plate is located at the bottom of the batching box, with one end of the partition plate penetrating the box and located on its outer side. This novel raw material preparation device for Czochralski single-crystal silicon production can quantitatively add additives, rapidly mix raw materials, and automatically discharge them, making it suitable for widespread use.

[0004] The inventors discovered during use that the conventional method of adding additives in the prior art involves adding them to the crucible during the initial feeding. At this time, the amount of material is large and the melting time can be as long as 4 hours. The additives are easily volatilized by prolonged heating and are extracted from the equipment with the atmosphere. The ideal feeding time is when the content is stable after the melting is completed, which is beneficial for the quality control of single crystals. Moreover, in the secondary feeding process, the old scheme requires a quartz cylinder as a tool, which is large in size and not conducive to operation. The conventional weight of additives is in the gram range, and the operation process involves replacing the atmosphere of the main and auxiliary chambers, which takes a long time.

[0007] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: When the hopper needs to be moved, the slip ring is rotated to move it, which in turn moves the mounting base and the magnetic block. The magnetic block is then aligned with the end face of the connecting block. The slip ring is then moved to attract the magnetic block to the connecting block. The slip ring is then moved to move the connecting block, which in turn moves the connecting rod. The connecting rod moves the sliding column and the connecting frame, which slide against the inner wall of the outer chamber. The connecting rod moves the hopper. Finally, the slip ring is rotated to rotate the connecting block, which in turn rotates the connecting rod. The connecting rod moves the hopper, and the hopper pours the material.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting block has a D-shaped cross-section and is made of iron.

[0009] The effect achieved by the above components is that the connecting block has a D-shaped surface, which can obtain a larger magnetic force when it is parallel to the magnet mounting surface, greatly improving the mobility of the hopper.

[0010] Preferably, the retaining ring has an annular cross-section and is made of plastic.

[0011] The effect achieved by the above components is that the plastic material is relatively inexpensive, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the retaining ring.

The sleeve rod is slidably connected to the insert rod. A connecting pad is fixedly connected to the end of the insert rod away from the outer compartment.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the hopper needs to be moved, the connecting pad is pulled to move, the connecting pad drives the insert rod to move, the insert rod slides on the inner wall of the sleeve rod, then the insert rod separates from the insertion hole, then the sleeve rod is pulled to move, the sleeve rod drives the slip ring to move, thereby adjusting the position of the hopper. After the adjustment is completed, the insert rod is aligned with the appropriate insertion hole, and then the insert rod is inserted into the insertion hole for fixation.

[0015] Preferably, a spring is fitted onto the arc surface of the sleeve rod, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to a slip ring and a connecting pad, respectively.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the hopper needs to be moved, the connecting pad is pulled to move it, the connecting pad drives the spring to stretch, then the insert rod is aligned with the insertion hole, and then the connecting pad spring is released to retract and drive the insert rod to be inserted into the insertion hole for fixation.

[0017] Preferably, a plurality of the insertion holes are evenly distributed on the mounting rod, and the diameter of the insertion holes is the same as the diameter of the mounting rod.

[0018] Compared with related technologies, the device for adding ingredients during the crystal pulling process provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
