Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of single-crystal silicon screening, and particularly relates to a device for improving the application quality of single-crystal recycled materials. Background Art
[0002] In the process of single-crystal silicon production, the edge skins and recycled materials remaining after machining qualified square bars need to be transported to the silicon material cleaning workshop. After pickling, reagent cleaning, and drying treatments, they are recycled to the single-crystal workshop through manual or mechanical crushing. However, during the crushing process of silicon materials, recycled materials with different particle sizes are generated. Currently, the mainstream classification standards in the industry are two specifications: 0 - 3 mm and 3 - 70 mm.
[0003] During the crushing process, due to the physical impact between the tungsten hammer and the silicon material, fine materials less than 3 mm and silicon powder that is easily adsorbed on the surface of the recycled materials are generated. Compared with large-sized recycled materials, the specific surface area of such fine particles is larger, and they are more easily affected by non-silicon factors such as residual acid solution, metal contamination, and dust adsorption in the process, thereby reducing the purity of the recycled materials and having an adverse impact on the quality of subsequent single-crystal drawn products. Therefore, some silicon material factories have strictly monitored the surface metal content and output ratio of 0 - 3 mm fine materials to evaluate the degree of process pollution and optimize quality control management.
[0004] Currently, the industry generally uses a 3 mm round-hole polytetrafluoroethylene sieve plate for manual screening of recycled materials, but this method has the following defects: 1. Uncontrollable screening force: Manual operation is greatly affected by the operator's state. The force difference between different operators will lead to unstable screening efficiency of 3 mm fine powder materials, affecting the classification accuracy of recycled materials.
[0005] 2. Silicon powder accumulation and pollution: During the screening process, fine powder is easily accumulated on the sieve plate, which may not only cause secondary pollution but also reduce the screening efficiency.
[0006] 3. Dust endangers health: During manual screening, silicon dust is easily dispersed into the air, and long-term inhalation will damage the respiratory system of operators, not meeting the occupational health and safety standards. Summary of the Invention
