[0062] refer to Figure 2, the tray 3 includes a positioning tray 31 and a crucible 32 clamped on the positioning tray 31, and the quartz raw material is placed in the crucible 32 when the quartz raw material is heated. In order to improve the stability of the tray 3 when rotating, a stabilizing support rod 14 is fixed on the inner side wall of the furnace tray 13; the stabilizing support rod 14 includes a support rod 141 and a supporting wheel 142 rotatably connected to one end of the support rod 141, and the support rod 141 is connected with the supporting wheel 142 after penetrating through the second heat preservation door plate 16; the axis of the supporting wheel 142 is parallel to the positioning tray 31, and the supporting wheel 142 abuts against the bottom of the positioning tray 31. When the tray 3 rotates, the stabilizing support rod 14 can share part of the axial load of the tray 3; if the support rod 411 breaks, the stabilizing support rod 14 can also hinder the tray 3 from overturning.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 In order to improve the purity of the obtained synthetic quartz glass, a vacuum mechanism 10 is further arranged on one side of the heat melting furnace 1, and the vacuum mechanism 10 includes an exhaust pipeline 101 and a vacuum pump 102 communicated with one end of the exhaust pipeline 101. When the quartz raw material in the heat melting furnace 1 is heated, the gas impurities in the heat melting furnace 1 need to be removed by the vacuum mechanism 10, so that the quartz raw material is not easy to be oxidized during the heat melting process.

[0064] The implementation principle of the large vertical high-temperature rotary furnace according to the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the lifting mechanism 6 drives the furnace tray 13 to move downward to open the heat melting furnace 1, and the quartz raw material is placed in the crucible 32 in the tray 3; the first adjusting rod 153 and the second adjusting rod 163 are sequentially rotated to make the first air passage 151 and the second air passage 161 both in the open state, and then the lifting mechanism 6 is started to move upward to close the heat melting furnace 1. The vacuum pump 102 is started to perform vacuumizing treatment on the inside of the heat melting furnace 1, and then the graphite heater 2 and the servo motor 424 are started, so that the quartz raw material on the tray 3 is heated while rotating. After the quartz raw material is completely melted, the graphite heater 2 is turned off, and the temperature in the heat melting furnace 1 is gradually reduced. When the temperature in the heat melting furnace 1 is reduced to 600℃, the quick cooling mechanism 5 is started to cool the inside of the heat melting furnace 1, so that the liquid quartz raw material in the heat melting furnace 1 is cooled and vitrified to obtain quartz glass.

[0065] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application, and therefore: any equivalent changes made on the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
