DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] Common heating methods used in the industry include resistance heating, induction heating, radiation heating, and laser heating. Among them, induction heating equipment is more expensive, has strict requirements for the working environment, has certain requirements for the electromagnetic properties of the material, and requires high equipment operation and maintenance. Radiative heating has directional energy transmission and poor heating uniformity. Laser heating equipment is also more expensive and complex, requiring high operator skills. Furthermore, the laser processing process requires maintaining a stable optical path, which places high demands on the environment.
[0032] Currently, the most common heating method is resistance heating, with linear resistance wire being the most widely used. Currently, resistance wire is typically installed on the inner wall of the reactor, far from the product. Furthermore, to prevent corrosion from the process environment, the outer surface of the resistance wire is often armored. This reduces the resistance wire's heat transfer efficiency, resulting in low heating efficiency for the product in the reactor.
[0033] In addition, armoring the resistance wire makes the manufacturing process of the resistance wire complicated, the manufacturing and maintenance costs are high, the armoring process is difficult, and the length and extension direction of the resistance wire are limited by the shape and size of the armor structure.
[0034] In addition, the resistance wire may be affected by electromagnetic interference and the limitations of conductive materials, resulting in high energy consumption. The resistance wire is easily affected by temperature, dust, etc. and may be thermally deformed or damaged, resulting in poor heating stability and poor heating uniformity.
[0035] In response to the above problems, the present application provides a carrier and a reactor. The specific structures of the carrier and the reactor are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0036] Figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a reactor, a carrier, and a carrier drive assembly provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 Shown is a structural schematic diagram of a carrier provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 Shown Figure 2 The following is a partial enlarged view of the vehicle in area A. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the carrier 10 can be placed in a reaction furnace 1 , which includes a chamber 20 and at least two electrodes 30 . The chamber 20 has a chamber 2001 , which is configured to accommodate a product 2 , and the at least two electrodes 30 extend into the chamber 2001 .
[0037] The carrier 10 includes a main body 100 and at least one boat structure 200. The main body 100 includes at least one first conductive portion 110 extending linearly. The first conductive portion 110 includes a first sub-conductive portion 1110 and a second sub-conductive portion 1120. The first end 1111 of the first sub-conductive portion is electrically connected to the first end 1121 of the second sub-conductive portion. When the carrier 10 is located in the chamber 2001, the second end 1112 of the first sub-conductive portion is used to connect to one electrode 30, and the second end 1122 of the second sub-conductive portion is used to connect to another electrode 30. The boat structure 200 can be placed on the main body 100 and is configured to carry the product 2. The boat structure 200 includes at least one second conductive portion 210. When the boat structure 200 is placed on the main body 100, the first end 2110 of the second conductive portion is electrically connected to the first sub-conductive portion 1110. When both the electrode 30 connected to the first sub-conductive part 1110 and the electrode 30 connected to the second sub-conductive part 1120 are energized, the first conductive part 110 is energized and generates heat, and the second conductive part 210 is energized and generates heat.
[0038] Exemplarily, the reactor 1 includes two electrodes 30, which are disposed within and connected to the chamber 2001. One electrode 30 is connected to the positive pole of an external power source via a wire, and the other electrode 30 is connected to the negative pole of the external power source via a wire. When the carrier 10 is located in the chamber 2001, the second end 1112 of the first sub-conductive portion is connected to one electrode 30, and the second end 1122 of the second sub-conductive portion is connected to the other electrode 30, so that a closed current loop is formed between the one electrode 30, the first sub-conductive portion 1110, the second sub-conductive portion 1120, and the other electrode 30, thereby energizing the first conductive portion 110. The material of the main body 100 is a material that generates heat when energized, such as silicon carbide or graphite, so that the main body 100 generates heat when energized.
[0039] Exemplarily, the second conductive part 210 can be formed by a resistance wire, which is wound on the boat structure 200, the first end of the resistance wire is electrically connected to the first sub-conductive part 1110, and the second end of the resistance wire is electrically connected to the second sub-conductive part 1120, so that the second conductive part 210 is energized and generates heat.

[0041] The carrier 10 provided in this embodiment can carry the product 2 and place it in the reactor 1, and the carrier 10 can be powered and generate heat. Since the carrier 10 is very close to the product 2, using the heat generated by the carrier 10 to heat the product 2 can improve the heating efficiency of the product 2.
[0042] In addition, the main body 100 and the boat structure 200 are relatively independently provided, and the main body 100 and the boat structure 200 are heated independently of each other, so the manufacturing process of the carrier 10 is simple, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are low.
[0043] In some embodiments, the boat structure 200 includes a first end plate 201, a second end plate 202, and a plurality of slotted rods 203. The bottom of the first end plate 201 has at least one first supported portion 2010, which contacts the main body 100. The second end plate 202 is disposed opposite the first end plate 201 and has at least one second supported portion (not shown) on its bottom, which contacts the main body 100. The plurality of slotted rods 203 connect the first end plate 201 and the second end plate 202 and are configured to support the product 2.

[0045] Exemplarily, when there are multiple second supported portions, the first end 2110 of the second conductive portion and the second end 2120 of the second conductive portion are respectively located on different second supported portions. The first supported portion 2010 is located above the first sub-conductive portion 1110, and the second supported portion is located above the second sub-conductive portion 1120. The first supported portion 2010 and the first sub-conductive portion 1110 are insulated from each other. Exemplarily, the surface of the first supported portion 2010 in contact with the main body 100 does not have a conductive coating. Exemplarily, the surface of the second supported portion in contact with the main body 100 is provided with a conductive coating, and the material of the conductive coating can be silicon carbide or graphite.
[0046] Exemplarily, the first end 2110 of the second conductive portion and the second end 2120 of the second conductive portion are located at the first carried portion 2010 and the second carried portion, respectively.

Exemplarily, the surfaces of the first carried portion 2010 and the second carried portion located above the second sub-conductive portion 1120 that contact the main body 100 do not have a conductive coating. Exemplarily, the surfaces of the first carried portion 2010 and the second carried portion located above the first sub-conductive portion 1110 that contact the main body 100 are provided with a conductive coating, and the material of the conductive coating may be silicon carbide or graphite.
[0047] Among them, the middle part 2130 of the second conductive part is distributed with the first end plate 201, the second end plate 202 and the slot rod 203, and the middle part 2130 of the second conductive part is located between the first end 2110 of the second conductive part and the second end 2120 of the second conductive part, so as to increase the distribution area of the second conductive part 210 on the boat structure 200 as much as possible, so as to make the second conductive part 210 energized and generate heat in the largest possible area of the boat structure 200, so as to improve the uniformity of heat and heating efficiency near the boat structure 200, thereby improving the uniformity and heating efficiency of heating of the product 2.
[0048] In some embodiments, the number of slot rods 203 is four, the number of first supported parts 2010 is multiple, and the first end 2110 of the second conductive part and the second end 2120 of the second conductive part are respectively located at different first supported parts 2010.

For example, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the first end plate 201 has two first supported portions 2010, and the first end 2110 of the second conductive portion and the second end 2120 of the second conductive portion are respectively located at the two first supported portions 2010. For example, Figure 4 The arrow direction is the direction of current flowing in the second conductive part 210 when the second conductive part 210 is energized.
[0049] In some embodiments, the first end plate 201 includes a first central region 2011 and a first edge region 2012 surrounding the first central region 2011 , and the middle portion 2130 of the second conductive portion bends and extends between the first central region 2011 and the first edge region 2012 .

[0063] For example, when the main body 100 does not need to supply electricity to other structures supported by it, the entire outer surface of the main body 100 is provided with an insulating layer 1010 to prevent the main body 100 from forming an electrical connection with other structures.
[0064] Different insulating layers 1010 are provided to meet different production process requirements.
[0065] The insulating material may be gallium oxide, zinc oxide or other insulating materials.
[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the electrode 30 includes an electrode rod 310. The second end 1021 of the first component has a first groove 1031, and the second end 1022 of the second component has a second groove 1032. When the carrier 10 is located in the chamber 2001, the electrode rod 310 of one electrode 30 is inserted into the first groove 1031 to electrically connect the electrode rod 310 of the one electrode 30 to the first component 1001. The electrode rod 310 of the other electrode 30 is inserted into the second groove 1032 to electrically connect the electrode rod 310 of the other electrode 30 to the second component 1002. The electrode rod 310 is detachably connected to the carrier 10, and the connection method is simple and reliable.
[0067] In some embodiments, there are multiple boat structures 200 , and the second conductive portions 210 of the multiple boat structures 200 are electrically connected to the first conductive portion 110 in parallel.
[0068] For example, a plurality of boat structures 200 can be spaced apart along the extending direction of the main body 100 .
[0069] Figure 8 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cavity and the furnace door provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the reactor 1 includes the carrier 10, chamber 20, and at least two electrodes 30 mentioned in the above embodiments. The chamber 20 has a chamber 2001 configured to accommodate a product 2. The at least two electrodes 30 extend into the chamber 2001. The carrier 10 is configured to support a boat structure 200. When the carrier 10 is located in the chamber 2001, the carrier 10 is electrically connected to the electrodes 30, so that the carrier 10 is energized and generates heat. The boat structure 200 is configured to support the product 2.
[0070] Exemplarily, the reaction furnace 1 has a furnace opening 2002, which faces downward and is connected to the chamber 2001. The reaction furnace 1 also includes a furnace door 40, which is hinged to the cavity 20 so that the furnace door 40 can rotate relative to the cavity 20 around the rotation axis to achieve closing or opening of the furnace opening 2002 by the furnace door 40.
[0071] A carrier driving assembly 3 is disposed below the carrier 10 . The carrier driving assembly 3 can carry the carrier 10 and place the carrier 10 into or out of the chamber 2001 .
[0072] Exemplarily, the carrier drive assembly 3 may include a linear module or a robotic arm, which is connected to the main body 100 via the linear module or the robotic arm, and drives the main body 100 to move toward or away from the chamber 2001, so that the carrier 10 enters or moves away from the chamber 2001.
[0073] The carrier drive assembly 3 can also have a lifting assembly and a conveyor belt streamline connected to the lifting assembly. The conveyor belt streamline is arranged above the lifting assembly and can carry the carrier 10. The lifting assembly moves in the direction of approaching or moving away from the chamber 2001 to drive the conveyor belt streamline and the carrier 10 carried by the conveyor belt streamline into or away from the chamber 2001.
[0074] Exemplarily, the reactor 1 further includes a plurality of supporting blocks 50, which are respectively connected to two opposite inner walls of the chamber 2001. When the carrier 10 enters the chamber 2001, the supporting blocks 50 carry the main body 100 so that the carrier 10 and the product 2 carried by the carrier 10 are placed in the chamber 2001.
[0075] In some embodiments, the electrode 30 includes an elastic structure 320 , and when the carrier 10 enters the chamber 2001 , the electrode 30 and the carrier 10 are electrically connected from being separated.
[0076] The use of elastic electrodes 30 can avoid stress concentration when the electrodes 30 contact the first component 1001 and the second component 1002, thereby preventing damage to the electrodes 30, the first component 1001, or the second component 1002, and extending the service life of the electrodes 30 and the main body 100. Furthermore, even when the main body 100 undergoes minor thermal deformation, it can maintain good contact with the elastic electrodes 30, preventing disconnection or poor contact. This maintains the stability of the main body 100's power supply, thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of the heating of the main body 100, and ensuring that the main body 100 can stably and reliably be powered and generate heat.
