Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and in particular to a dust collection system. This invention relates to a dust removal system for process dust handling in industrial production of monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and heavily doped silicon monocrystalline silicon. Background Technology
[0002] The crystal pulling process in single / polycrystalline furnaces generates a large amount of SiO dust that can spontaneously combust upon contact with air. A simple harmonic vacuum dust collector filters this SiO dust and stores it in an ash hopper. Once the dust in the ash hopper reaches a certain level, ash removal is required. Currently, ash removal from dust collectors generally uses ash hopper vibration and a rotary valve at the cleaning port. For small dust collectors, due to their smaller size, manual scooping, shoveling, and sweeping are typically used to remove ash.
[0003] Given that SiO dust can spontaneously combust or even explode when exposed to air, it must be slowly oxidized into SiO2 dust before manual cleaning. However, this process takes a lot of time, and the significant time loss has severely restricted production capacity growth.
[0004] After one working cycle, the dust collector begins the ash hopper cleaning process. Before cleaning, a slow oxidation process of 90-120 minutes is required. When manually cleaning, protective clothing, goggles, and masks must be worn. Scrapers and brooms are used to collect the dust into bags. This process generates dust, causing secondary pollution to the workshop environment. It also increases the burden on subsequent workshop cleaning and equipment maintenance. Each harmonic vacuum dust collector requires 90-120 minutes of slow oxidation; the process is cumbersome, and improper operation can cause deflagration or equipment burnout, posing a significant safety hazard and hindering production efficiency.

[0048] This embodiment aims to improve the device structure, while the control process is based on existing technology.
[0049] Specifically, during filtration, the third pneumatic ball valve 30 in the ash conveying pipeline 31 is closed. The dust-laden gas enters the first turbid gas chamber of the lower housing 4 through the first air inlet 18, and enters the filter bag 27 through the lower end of the filter bag 27 fixed on the first tube sheet 29. After filtration, the clean gas is discharged from the first air outlet 19 through the negative pressure generated by the vacuum equipment. Part of the dust falls into the first turbid gas chamber of the lower housing 4 due to gravity, and part of it adheres to the inner surface of the filter bag 27. After working for a period of time, the deposits on the inner surface of the filter bag 27 cause the air permeability resistance of the filter bag 27 to increase. It is necessary to remove the deposits on the inner surface of the filter bag 27 by the vibration structure. At this time, the piston rod of the cylinder 21 extends. Pushing the movable hanger 25 tightens the spring 23, leaving the filter bag 27 in a relaxed state. The piston rod of the cylinder 21 retracts, and the spring 23 quickly pulls the movable hanger 25 back after the piston rod retracts. Since the lower end of the filter bag 27 is fixed to the first tube sheet 29, and the upper end of the filter bag 27 is connected to the movable hanger 25 by screws 26, the filter bag 27 is quickly tightened under the action of the spring 23. The dust on the inner surface of the filter bag 27 is quickly shaken off under the action of inertia and gravity. Through the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the cylinder 21, the filter bag 27 is repeatedly vibrated to remove dust. The three cylinders 21 are started and stopped in sequence to vibrate the movable hanger 25. The vibration and dust removal operation is stopped after several seconds.
[0050] During ash removal operations, the filtration process is stopped after one work cycle. The pipes supplying the dust-laden gas, as well as the valves at the first air inlet 18 and the first air outlet 19, are closed. The first air tank 8 releases high-pressure, high-flow-rate inertial airflow instantaneously and intermittently into the upper housing 1 via the pulse valve 9 and the first pneumatic ball valve 10 along the first jet pipe. The outer surface of the filter bag 27 is impacted by the instantaneous pressure change, causing deformation. The airflow back-blowing the outer surface of the filter bag 27 removes dust from its inner surface, which falls into the first turbid air chamber of the lower housing 4. Then, the filter bag 27 is cleaned again... The ash removal process is performed by vibration for several seconds. The ash discharge operation begins by opening the third pneumatic ball valve 30 on the ash conveying pipeline 31 and simultaneously opening the first solenoid valve 11 to connect to the external air source and enter the first air tank 8. The second solenoid valve 7 and the second pneumatic ball valve 6 on one of the purging pipelines are activated, while the second solenoid valve 7 and the second pneumatic ball valve 6 on the other purging pipelines are not activated. High-speed, high-pressure gas flows through the first air tank 8 and the purging pipeline through the nozzle 17. The airflow causes the accumulated ash to fly up. The four purging pipelines are switched on and off several times in sequence. The dust removal port 5 connects to the ash conveying pipeline 31, the ash collection tank B, and the external negative pressure pipeline. There is a pressure difference between the ash removal port 5 and the first turbid air chamber of the lower shell 4. The airflow carrying dust passes through the ash conveying pipeline 31 connected to the dust removal port 5 and is then filtered by the plastic sintered plate 34 in the ash collection tank. Due to gravity, the dust falls into the ash hopper 41. The filtered airflow is discharged through the external negative pressure pipeline. Similarly, the remaining second solenoid valves 7 and second pneumatic ball valves 6 on the other blowing pipelines are started and stopped in sequence to blow the ash accumulated in the first turbid air chamber of the lower shell 4. The blowing pipeline, the ash conveying pipeline 31, the ash collection tank B, and the external negative pressure pipeline work together to complete one ash discharge operation, realizing the closed pipeline transportation of dust.
[0051] When the dust in the ash hopper 41 accumulates to a certain amount, the negative pressure ash conveying operation is stopped. The third pneumatic ball valve 30 in the ash conveying pipeline 3134 is closed, and the external negative pressure pipeline valve is closed. The second jet pipeline 44 is connected to the inert gas in the second jet air tank 43, and the gas is sprayed onto the sintered plate 34 through the second jet pipeline 44. Utilizing the instantaneous high and low pressure switching, the airflow continuously acts on the inner wall of the sintered plate 34. Due to the instantaneous backflow, the dust adhering to the outer wall of the sintered plate 34 is blown away and falls into the ash hopper 41 due to gravity. After the ash collection tank B is completed, the rotary material valve 38 is started, and the reduction motor 36 is started to begin the ash unloading operation. The reduction motor 36 transmits torque to the magnetic outer rotor 48, which transmits torque to the magnetic inner rotor 46 through magnetic force. The magnetic inner rotor 46 and the universal joint 52 amplify the torque through the reducer 53 and transmit it to the auger main shaft 39. The rotation of the auger shaft 39 drives the scraper 37 to rotate. The scraper 37 scrapes off the material on the material collection plate 40, and the material falls into the lower part of the ash hopper 41 through the material collection plate 40's inlet. Under the action of the auger shaft 39, the accumulated ash is squeezed downward and conveyed to the ash discharge port 56. The accumulated ash in the ash hopper 41 is continuously discharged downward, and the unoxidized ash is collected in a sealed and centralized manner in the corresponding equipment.

During filtration, the third pneumatic ball valve in the ash conveying pipeline is closed, and the dust-containing... Gas enters the first turbid gas chamber of the lower housing through the first air inlet, and enters the filter bag through the lower end of the filter bag fixed on the first tube sheet. After filtration, the clean gas is discharged from the first air outlet through the negative pressure generated by the vacuum device. Part of the dust falls into the first turbid gas chamber of the lower housing due to gravity, and part of it adheres to the inner surface of the filter bag. After working for a period of time, the deposits on the inner surface of the filter bag increase the air permeability resistance of the filter bag.
