[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the second temperature control box 3 includes a second outer shell 31, an inner wall of the second outer shell 31 is fixedly connected with a second insulation layer, a second temperature control adjustment box 32 is fixedly installed on the left side of the second outer shell 31, a second temperature sensor 33 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the interior of the second temperature control adjustment box 32, and one end of the second temperature sensor 33 is located between the second outer shell 31 and the inner shell 6, a second thyristor power regulator 34 and a second transformer 35 are arranged inside the second temperature control adjustment box 32, the second thyristor power regulator 34 is electrically connected to the second temperature sensor 33 and the second transformer 35 respectively, and the second transformer 35 is electrically connected to the temperature control heater 8 inside the second outer shell 31.

[0037] Among them, the internal structure of the third temperature-controlled box 4 is the same as that of the second temperature-controlled box 3. The third temperature-controlled box 4 is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the outer surface of the inner shell 6.

[0038] The internal structure of the third temperature-controlled box 4 is set to be the same as that of the second temperature-controlled box 3, so that an independent temperature control area is formed between the third temperature-controlled box 4 and the second temperature-controlled box 3. At the same time, the function of the third temperature-controlled box 4 is the same as that of the second temperature-controlled box 3, and the second temperature-controlled box 3 and the third temperature-controlled box 4 can also be controlled to be connected, thereby maintaining the stability of the overall temperature control.

[0039] By arranging the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 in sequence from bottom to top on the outer surface of the inner shell 6, the inner shell 6 is subjected to segmented temperature control, so that the temperature of different areas inside the inner shell 6 is kept uniform and stable, thereby avoiding a large temperature gradient inside the inner shell 6 and poor temperature uniformity due to the large volume of the inner shell 6.

[0040] By setting a first temperature sensor 24, the temperature between the bottom outer shell 21 and the inner shell 6 is monitored, so that the first temperature sensor 24 controls the first thyristor power regulator 25 to work through an electrical signal, and adjusts the first transformer 26, thereby controlling the working state of the temperature-controlled heater 8 (for example, when the temperature between the bottom outer shell 21 and the inner shell 6 becomes low, the first temperature sensor 24 detects that the temperature between the bottom outer shell 21 and the inner shell 6 is lower than the set temperature, and controls the first thyristor power regulator 25 to start through an electrical signal, increases the circuit power, and increases the voltage of the first transformer 26, so that the temperature-controlled heater 8 is heated to a higher temperature, otherwise, the temperature is lowered), and the temperature between the bottom outer shell 21 and the inner shell 6 is adjusted. Similarly, by setting a second temperature sensor 33, a second thyristor power regulator 34 and a second transformer 35, the temperature between the second outer shell 31 and the inner shell 6 is monitored, and the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 form independent temperature control areas, thereby maintaining the uniformity and stability of the temperature inside the inner shell 6.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, the adjustment assembly 37 includes a gear ring 371, a rotating ring 372 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the inner wall of the gear ring 371, a plurality of connecting grooves 373 are opened inside the rotating ring 372, and the connecting grooves 373 are rotatably installed at the lower end of the second shell 31, the outer surface of the bevel gear 39 is meshed with the top of the gear ring 371, and the connecting grooves 373 are the same size as the connecting grooves 38.

[0043] By setting an adjustment motor 36 to control the rotation of the bevel gear 39, the gear ring 371 drives the rotating ring 372 to rotate, and then controls the connection between the connecting groove 373 and the connecting groove 38, so that the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 can form an independent temperature control zone, or form an overall temperature control zone. When it is necessary to adjust the temperature of a certain area, or to control the formation of a certain temperature gradient in the internal area of ​​the inner shell 6, the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 can be controlled to form an independent temperature control zone, and the temperature of a certain area can be quickly adjusted and controlled. When it is necessary to form a uniform and stable temperature inside the inner shell 6, when the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 are adjusted to a consistent temperature respectively, the connection between the connecting groove 373 and the connecting groove 38 is controlled to keep the overall temperature connected, so as to avoid the rise and fall of the temperature in a certain area, which has a greater impact on the amplitude change of the temperature rise and fall in the area, thereby maintaining the uniformity and stability of the overall thermal field.

[0044] Embodiment three, as Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, the temperature control heater 8 includes a plurality of connecting frames 81, and a plurality of resistance heating tubes 82 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 81. The resistance heating tubes 82 are composed of a plurality of "V"-shaped resistance wires, and the plurality of resistance heating tubes 82 are connected in series.

[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, there are three wind circulation components 7, which are fixedly installed on the right sides of the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 respectively. The wind circulation component 7 includes a fixing frame 71, and a gas circulation pump 72 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing frame 71. An air outlet nozzle 73 and an air inlet nozzle 74 are fixedly installed on both ends of the left side of the fixing frame 71. A guide plate 75 is fixedly installed on the left sides of the air outlet nozzle 73 and the air inlet nozzle 74. One end of the gas circulation pump 72 is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe 76, and one end of the air inlet pipe 76 is fixedly connected to one end of the air inlet nozzle 74. The top of the gas circulation pump 72 is fixedly connected to an air outlet pipe 77, and one end of the air outlet pipe 77 is fixedly connected to the air outlet nozzle 73.

[0046] The guide plate 75 is arc-shaped, and the air outlet nozzle 73 and the air inlet nozzle 74 are respectively located on two sides of the back side of the guide plate 75 .

[0047] By setting up a wind circulation component 7, air is taken in through the air inlet nozzle 74, and the air in the fixed volume pump chamber is compressed and stretched through the air inlet pipe 76 to form a vacuum (negative pressure), and the gas is sucked into the pump chamber under the action of the pressure difference, and then discharged from the air outlet pipe 77 through the air outlet nozzle 73 to realize gas circulation, so that a circulating gas is formed inside the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4, and the flowing gas makes the thermal field inside the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 more uniform, and then through heat exchange, the uniformity of heating of the inner shell 6 is improved.

[0048] The resistance heating tube 82 is composed of multiple "V"-shaped resistance wires. During the flow of gas, the flowing gas can be quickly heated (for example, the first thyristor power regulator 25 is electrically connected to one of the resistance heating tubes 82 inside the bottom shell 21 through the first transformer 26. Since the multiple resistance heating tubes 82 are connected in series, the multiple resistance heating tubes 82 are controlled to work and heat synchronously), thereby making the heat inside the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 uniform, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature control of the inner shell 6 area.

[0049] Embodiment 4, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the functional base 1 includes a base box 11, a fixed sleeve 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the base box 11, a top frame 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed sleeve 12, a heating plate 14 is fixedly installed inside the top frame 13, a rotating motor 15 is fixedly installed inside the base box 11, a rotating shaft 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating motor 15, a graphite tray 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating shaft 16, a groove 18 is provided on the top of the graphite tray 17, the rotating shaft 16 is rotatably installed inside the fixed sleeve 12, and the graphite tray 17 is rotatably installed on the top of the top frame 13.

[0050] There are multiple grooves 18 , which are evenly distributed on the top of the graphite tray 17 in a circular shape.

[0051] The graphite tray 17 is heated by the heating plate 14. At this time, the rotating motor 15 controls the rotating shaft 16 to drive the graphite tray 17 to rotate, and the grooves 18 are evenly distributed on the top of the graphite tray 17 in a circular shape. The rotation of the graphite tray 17 makes the heat exchange between the graphite tray 17 and the heating plate 14 more uniform, thereby avoiding unevenness inside the groove 18 and affecting the uniformity of the film inside the groove 18 and the crystal quality.

[0052] It should be noted that the present invention is a HVPE device that can ensure the uniformity of the thermal field. When in use, the temperature inside the inner shell 6 is first controlled to rise. At this time, the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 form independent temperature control areas, and the temperature control heater 8 works to heat the inside of the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4. The temperature is raised, and air is introduced through the air inlet nozzle 74. The air in the fixed volume pump chamber is compressed and stretched through the air inlet pipe 76 to form a vacuum (negative pressure), and the gas is sucked into the pump chamber under the action of the pressure difference, and then discharged from the air outlet pipe 77 through the air outlet nozzle 73 to realize gas circulation, so that the inside of the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 forms a circulating gas, and the flowing gas makes the thermal field inside the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 more uniform;

[0053] At the same time, the first temperature sensor 24 monitors the temperature between the bottom shell 21 and the inner shell 6, so that the first temperature sensor 24 controls the first thyristor power regulator 25 to work through an electrical signal, so that the first transformer 26 is adjusted, and then the working state of the temperature control heater 8 is controlled to adjust the internal temperature of the first temperature control box 2. Similarly, the temperatures inside the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 are automatically monitored and adjusted respectively;

[0054] When the temperatures of the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 are consistent, the regulating motor 36 works to rotate the bevel gear 39, and the rotating ring 372 rotates through the meshing action of the gear ring 371 and the bevel gear 39, thereby controlling the connection between the connecting groove 373 and the connecting groove 38, so that the overall temperature of the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 is kept in a connected state, and the first temperature control box 2, the second temperature control box 3 and the third temperature control box 4 are quickly connected through the flow of gas, so as to avoid the temperature rise and fall of a certain area, which has a greater impact on the amplitude change of the temperature rise and fall of the area, thereby maintaining the uniformity and stability of the overall thermal field;

[0055] In addition, the heating plate 14 heats the graphite tray 17. At this time, the rotating motor 15 controls the rotating shaft 16 to drive the graphite tray 17 to rotate, and the grooves 18 are evenly distributed on the top of the graphite tray 17 in a circular shape. The rotation of the graphite tray 17 makes the heat exchange between the graphite tray 17 and the heating plate 14 more uniform, thereby avoiding unevenness inside the groove 18 and affecting the uniformity and crystal quality of the film inside the groove 18.
