[0002] For 8-inch and 12-inch ingots, cutting and rolling is a necessary process. Storage and transportation after processing are also necessary. The purpose is: (1) to transport the finished ingots to the slicing workshop for subsequent operations, and (2) to rationalize, standardize, and safely store the ingots that are not in use. Currently, due to the large size and weight of 8-inch and 12-inch ingots, the manufacturing industry generally uses large pallets to stack the ingots together, or uses conveyor lines and three-dimensional warehouses for transportation and storage.

[0003] In this case, the damage rate and edge collapse rate of the crystal ingot are greatly increased, and some special products have to be reworked. For such products that have to be reworked, the production burden is undoubtedly increased for the manufacturing companies. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "middle", "outer", "inner", "lower" and the like indicating directions or positional relationships are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 12 The present invention provides a crystal ingot holding device that is convenient for storage and transportation, including a holding box 01 and a crystal ingot material box 02 arranged in the holding box 01; wherein, the number of crystal ingot material boxes 02 can be placed in the holding box 01 in sequence in a longitudinal stacking manner according to usage requirements.

[0042] The crystal ingot material box 02 includes a box body 21, and the top surface of the box body 21 is provided with two arc-shaped grooves 22 with parallel axes. An arc-shaped blocking portion 23 is provided at both ends of the arc-shaped groove 22 and is arranged concentrically with the arc-shaped groove 22. An arc-shaped support portion 24 with a diameter smaller than the arc-shaped groove 22 and arranged concentrically is provided inside the arc-shaped groove 22; the arc-shaped support portion 24 divides the arc-shaped groove 22 into a plurality of placement slots; different placement slots can be selected for storage of crystal ingots of 100mm-450mm. For example, when the length of the crystal ingot is large, it can be placed directly in the arc-shaped groove 22 and supported by the arc-shaped support portion 24, while the two ends of the crystal ingot are protected by the arc-shaped blocking portion 23 to prevent the ends from bumping; when the length of the crystal ingot is small, a suitable placement slot can be selected for storage according to the length of the crystal ingot. At this time, the two ends of the crystal ingot can be protected by the arc-shaped blocking portion 23 or the arc-shaped support portion 24.

[0043] The bottom surface of the box body 21 is provided with a receiving hole 25 facing the arc-shaped groove 22. The receiving hole 25 can store ingots within a range of 50mm-100mm. At this time, the axis of the ingot is parallel to the axis of the receiving hole 25.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bottom of each receiving hole 25 is provided with a plurality of concentric annular protrusions 03 of different diameters; the top of the annular protrusion 03 is provided with a corrugated line to increase friction and prevent the ingot from sliding during transportation and causing unnecessary losses.

[0045] Specifically, the height of each annular protrusion 03 gradually increases as the diameter of the annular protrusion 03 increases; it can adapt to crystal ingots of different diameters, so that crystal ingots of different diameters can be positioned by the annular protrusion 03 to prevent radial movement.

[0046] It is further explained that the height between two adjacent annular protrusions 03 is 2 mm.

[0047] In one embodiment, a vent hole 04 is provided at the center of the bottom of the receiving hole 25, which is connected to the arc-shaped groove 22. This facilitates the user to discharge the gas in the receiving box 01 when placing the ingot box 02 into the receiving box 01, making storage and retrieval more convenient and quick.

[0048] In one embodiment, the box body 21 is provided with a clamping hole 05 that passes through the box body 21. When the crystal ingot box 02 and the crystal ingot are taken out as a whole, an internal support clamp can be inserted into the clamping hole 05 to realize the overall transportation of the crystal ingot box 02, thereby improving the transportation efficiency.

[0049] In one embodiment, elastic pads 06 are provided around the outer walls of the box body 21. These pads act as a buffer against the inner walls of the holding box 01, preventing hard contact between the ingot cassette 02 and the holding box 01 and reducing impact on the ingot. Furthermore, the elastic pads 06 create a hollow cavity between the holding box 01 and the ingot cassette 02, allowing workers to manually adjust the position of the ingot cassette 02.

[0050] A crystal ingot storage method is also provided.

[0051] A method for storing crystal ingots, which uses the crystal ingot holding device that is convenient for storage and transportation to achieve storage of crystal ingots, comprises the following steps:

[0052] S1: Place a crystal ingot box 02 with the top facing upward or the bottom facing upward in the storage box 01;

[0053] S2: Please see Figures 1 to 5 If the top of the ingot box 02 is placed upward in step S1, ingots with a length of 100-450 mm can be placed in grooves of different lengths according to their lengths;

[0054] S3: Place the top of another ingot cassette 02 downward, aligning the arcuate groove 22 with the ingot in the lower ingot cassette 02, ensuring that the upper ingot cassette 02 faces the lower ingot cassette 02; the arcuate grooves 22 in the upper and lower ingot cassettes 02 can surround the two end edges of the ingot, thereby providing protection, while also limiting the axial displacement of the ingot; and the arcuate grooves 22 can limit the displacement of the ingot in the radial direction;

[0055] S4: placing ingots with a length of 50 mm to 100 mm in different holding holes 25 according to their diameters, so that ingots of different lengths can be stacked and stored;

[0056] S5: Please see Figures 8 to 12 If the bottom of the ingot box 02 is placed upward in step S1, ingots with a length of less than 100 mm can be placed in different receiving holes 25 according to their diameters;

[0057] S6: Turn the bottom of the other ingot material box 02 downward, aligning the receiving hole 25 with the ingot in the lower ingot material box 02, ensuring that the ingot material box 02 placed on the upper side is facing the ingot material box 02 below; the receiving holes 25 in the upper and lower ingot material boxes 02 can surround the two end edges of the ingot, thereby forming a protection, and at the same time can limit the axial displacement of the ingot; and the arc-shaped protrusion can form a displacement limit in the radial direction of the ingot;

[0058] S7: Place the ingots with a length of 100-450mm in grooves of different lengths according to their lengths, so that the ingots of different lengths can be stacked and stored.

[0059] As a better solution, when choosing to place the top of the crystal ingot box 02 upward in step S1, you can choose to place a substrate with the same material as the crystal ingot box 02 at the bottom of the containing box 01, and open a circular hole corresponding to the containing hole 25 on the substrate, so that crystal ingots with a length of 50mm-100mm can be stored on the substrate to improve the storage efficiency of the crystal ingots.

[0060] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is certainly not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. A person skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiment and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the invention.
