TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of artificial diamond, more particularly, to a furnace body structure of an artificial diamond crystal growth device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Artificial diamond is a polycrystalline diamond composed of diamond crystals with a diameter of 10 to 30 nanometers. The molecular structure of artificial diamond is not a complete octahedral structure like natural diamond, but a complex structure, which can produce phosphorescence. There are two methods to produce artificial diamond: high temperature and high pressure synthesis and chemical vapor deposition synthesis. High temperature and high pressure synthesis refers to the fact that temperature and pressure are still two key factors in crystal manufacturing. According to professional jewelers, this method is to manufacture diamonds in a ceramic container instead of underground. Water pressure provides high pressure, and electricity generates high temperature. Carbon is deposited around a 1mm diameter seed crystal made of natural diamond to form a crystal. Chemical vapor deposition synthesis refers to heating natural gas and nitrogen to form a carbon plasma in a pressure chamber the size of a dishwasher. The plasma continuously deposits on the carbon layer at the bottom of the pressure chamber and gradually accumulates and hardens to form a diamond sheet, which is then cut into a gem shape. Currently, chemical vapor deposition synthesis is commonly used to produce artificial diamonds.
[0003] The furnace body structure of the traditional diamond crystal growth device relies on a multi-layer sealing design, and complicated sealing steps need to be performed every time it is opened and closed, such as repeatedly calibrating the position of the sealing ring or adjusting the pressure balance.

[0034] The support shafts 22 on the wedge block 10 synchronously descend with the upper cover 4. The support shafts 22 are slidably connected to the sliding groove 24 on the transmission rod 23. When the support shafts 22 slide downward, the transmission rod 23 is deflected upward relative to the upper cover 4.

[0040] The furnace body structure of the traditional diamond crystal growth equipment depends on multi-layer sealing design, and complicated sealing steps need to be performed every time it is opened and closed, such as repeatedly calibrating the position of the sealing ring or adjusting the pressure balance. The operator needs to manually adjust the components multiple times, which results in a long time for starting and stopping the equipment. This complex operation process not only significantly prolongs the crystal growth cycle, but also increases the frequency of manual intervention, affecting the overall production efficiency. In addition, frequent sealing maintenance and precision requirements further exacerbate the inconvenience of use, making the operation process time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, the buckle mechanism is arranged to realize automatic opening of the furnace body, and the fixing effect and stability of the furnace body are strengthened under the action of the fixed component and the reinforcing part. At the same time, elastic sealing elements are added to the key joint surfaces, which can adaptively deform by pressure to fill the gap, reducing the repeated calibration steps required by traditional multi-layer sealing. The improved structure reduces the opening and closing operation steps to a single trigger action under the premise of maintaining high sealing property, reduces the complexity of manual operation, and simultaneously improves the operation efficiency and running stability of the equipment.

Three groups of pressure rods 15 abut against the upper cover 4 at the same time to fix it.
[0042] Secondly, when the sliding block 12 displaces in the inner part of the sliding groove one 11, the air bag one 17 is extruded, so that the gas in the air bag one 17 enters the inner part of the limiting cavity 18 through the communication pipe one 19, and the memory alloy 20 in the limiting cavity 18 extends, so that the lower end of the memory alloy 20 abuts against the pressure ring 16 under pressure, thereby improving the fixing effect of the upper cover 4.
