Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage and transportation of single crystal silicon, and in particular to a storage device for storage and transportation of crystal segments. Background Art

[0002] The single crystal silicon rod pulled out of the crystal growth furnace needs to be rounded and then mechanically cut into crystal segments. The length of the crystal segment is usually 100mm-450mm. Since the crystal segment is a cylinder, when it contacts a general tray-type storage device, the force-bearing area is approximately regarded as a straight line. Because single crystal silicon has the characteristics of high density and brittle material, its own gravity will cause huge pressure on the contact surface. If there are some residual silicon slag or other particulate matter on the contact surface, it is easy to cause it to crack or even break due to its own gravity, causing the product to be scrapped; in addition, because the crystal segment is a cylinder, when it is stored in a general tray-type storage device, it will roll and slide horizontally. The crystal rod will crush the silicon slag or other particulate matter on the tray during the rolling process, causing the crystal rod to crack, and it will collide with the edge of the tray during the sliding process, causing the crystal rod to collapse and break, causing the crystal rod to be damaged or even scrapped.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage device for storing and transporting crystal segments to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0031] The present embodiment provides a storage device for storing and transporting crystal segments, aiming to solve the problem that when existing pallet storage devices are used to store crystal segments, the crystal segments are prone to rolling and horizontal sliding, and the silicon slag or other particulate matter on the pallet will be crushed during the rolling process, causing hidden cracks in the crystal segments, and the crystal segments will collide with the edge of the pallet during the sliding process, causing the crystal segments to collapse and break, resulting in damage to the crystal segments or even scrapping. The storage device for storing and transporting crystal segments allows the crystal segments to remain relatively stable during transportation, is not prone to sliding, and can prevent the crystal segments from colliding and causing hidden cracks or damage.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the storage device for storing and transporting crystal segments includes a box body 100, an elastic base 200 and a blocking rod 300. The box body 100 is provided with a receiving groove with a notch facing upward; the elastic base 200 is fitted in the receiving groove, and the elastic base 200 has an arc-shaped groove 210 with a notch facing upward; the blocking rod 300 is detachably installed on the top surface of the box body 100, and two blocking rods 300 are provided, and the two blocking rods 300 are respectively arranged at both ends of the box body 100, and the distance between the two blocking rods 300 can be adjusted.

[0033] The above-mentioned storage device for storing and transporting crystal segments is provided with an elastic base 200. After the elastic base 200 is provided in the accommodating groove, the crystal segment 500 is placed in the arc-shaped groove 210. The arc-shaped groove 210 matches the cylindrical surface of the crystal segment 500. The distance between the baffles 300 installed at both ends of the box body 100 is adjusted so that the baffles 300 fix the position of the crystal segment 500. The crystal segment 500 can remain relatively stable during transportation and is not prone to slippage. The elastic base 200 can prevent the crystal segment 500 from being bumped and causing hidden cracks or damage. Silicon slag or other particulate matter can be sunken or adhered to the elastic base 200, which can also avoid damage to the crystal segment 500.

[0034] In a possible implementation, the blocking rod 300 is slidably mounted on the top surface of the box body 100 and can be locked to the box body 100 by a locking member. The blocking rod 300 is slidably connected to the box body 100, which facilitates adjusting the distance between the two blocking rods 300. After the position is adjusted, the blocking rod 300 is fixed by a locking member so that the blocking rod 300 is firmly installed.

[0035] Specifically, the box body 100 is provided with a slide groove matching the blocking rod 300, and a locking hole is provided on one side wall of the slide groove. After the locking member is threaded through the locking hole, the blocking rod 300 is locked to the other side wall of the slide groove. This arrangement is easy to operate. The locking member is a threaded member, such as a screw.

[0036] In another possible implementation, the top surface of the box body 100 is provided with a plurality of equally spaced insertion holes 110, and the ends of the blocking rod 300 can be inserted and fixed in the insertion holes 110. It is easy to imagine that the insertion holes 110 have sufficient depth to prevent the blocking rod 300 from shaking.

[0037] Preferably, the side of the blocking rod 300 is provided with an elastic buckle, and the hole wall of the jack 110 is provided with a slot matching the elastic buckle. After the blocking rod 300 is inserted into the jack 110, the elastic buckle is locked into the slot to prevent the blocking rod 300 from being pulled out under external force, thereby improving the reliability of use.

[0038] Optionally, the blocking rod 300 includes a crossbar and vertical rods respectively installed at both ends of the crossbar, the two vertical rods are detachably connected to the end faces of the two side walls of the accommodating groove, and the height of the vertical rod protruding from the box body 100 is less than the height of the crystal segment 500 protruding from the box body 100, so that the crossbar can block the crystal segment 500 and prevent the crystal segment 500 from falling from the arc groove 210. Optionally, the two end faces of the two side walls of the accommodating groove are each provided with 24 mutually symmetrical jacks 110. In other embodiments, the jacks 110 can be set to 10 or 20 or other numbers, which can be set as needed.

[0039] Preferably, the height of the elastic base 200 is greater than the depth of the accommodating groove, and the arc-shaped groove 210 runs through two opposite side walls of the elastic base 200. By setting the height of the elastic base 200 to be greater than the depth of the accommodating groove, the groove edge of the accommodating groove is prevented from hitting the outer peripheral surface of the crystal segment 500, thereby improving the reliability of use.

[0040] In this embodiment, the outer circumference of the blocking rod 300 is covered with an elastic protective sleeve 400, which can prevent the blocking rod 300 from causing collision or extrusion damage to the crystal segment 500. Optionally, the elastic protective sleeve 400 can be set as a PVC protective sleeve.

[0041] Optionally, the elastic base 200 is made of pearl cotton, the box 100 is made of stainless steel, and the stopper 300 is made of stainless steel. Pearl cotton has the characteristics of soft texture and large pores, and can absorb silicon slag and tiny particles well to avoid damage caused by hard contact with the crystal segment 500; stainless steel has high strength and good wear resistance to ensure reliability.

[0042] In this embodiment, the box 100 is set as a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the size of the rectangular parallelepiped structure is 600mm×400mm×110mm; the height of the elastic base 200 is 120mm, the arc radius of the arc groove 210 is 300mm; the groove depth of the arc groove 210 is 65mm; the diameter of the blocking rod 300 is 8mm. Because the length of the crystal segment 500 is usually less than or equal to 500mm, in other embodiments, the size of the rectangular parallelepiped structure, the height of the elastic base 200, the arc radius of the arc groove 210, the groove depth of the arc groove 210 and the diameter of the blocking rod 300 can be set according to requirements. For example, if the length of the crystal segment 500 is 300mm, after the crystal segment 500 is placed in the arc groove 210, the sum of the heights of the crystal segment 500 and the box 100 is approximately 350mm.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
