Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of special materials manufacturing technology, specifically relating to an apparatus for preparing SiC from methylsilane. Background Technology
[0002] SiC coatings are a type of high-temperature resistant ceramic with a tetragonal crystal structure and a high melting temperature (above 2700 degrees Celsius). Among the many methods for preparing SiC materials, CVD (Silicon Carbide Dioxide) technology has excellent adaptability to parts with complex shapes and internal surfaces. It can achieve near-scale forming of large-sized, thin-walled, and complex components, and can be prepared at relatively low temperatures (700-1200 degrees Celsius), avoiding damage to the material structure caused by high-temperature treatment. It can also easily control the composition and fine structure of the coating, which is beneficial for controlling the structural or compositional gradient at the coating / substrate interface. It is considered the most promising method for preparing silicon carbide coatings. Silicon carbide crystals prepared by CVD technology have a dense structure, orderly lattice arrangement, tight bonding with the substrate material, and are characterized by high temperature resistance, wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity.
[0003] Currently, the reaction chamber of a CVD furnace is directly connected to the vacuum pump. After a SiC coating deposition, some methylsilane often remains in the reaction chamber and pipes. Methylsilane is a substance with a risk of combustion and explosion. Therefore, after a certain number of depositions, the pipes need to be cleaned frequently to avoid the risk of explosion. At the same time, the deposition will cause some dust to enter the vacuum pump and contaminate the vacuum pump oil. Therefore, the vacuum pump also needs to be cleaned frequently. As a result, frequent cleaning work during the production process will increase the labor intensity of workers and increase costs accordingly.
[0004] By adding a condensation recovery device at the bottom of the CVD furnace, unreacted methylsilane and byproducts are condensed and recovered. In addition, a particulate filter is installed at the pump inlet of the vacuum pump to intercept SiC deposited dust. The particulate filter is cleaned by wind power and transmission mechanism, which can effectively prevent methylsilane from remaining in the reaction chamber and pipelines, reduce the risk of combustion and explosion, and improve the safety of the production process.
[0005] Therefore, it is essential to install a condensation recovery device at the bottom of the CVD furnace and a particulate filter at the pump inlet of the vacuum pump. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The dust emission box is a cylindrical structure with an opening at the left end, and a second discharge port is provided on the lower side of the dust emission box.

A second inlet is provided on the side of the middle cavity, connected to the first discharge port via a pipeline. Adjustable plugs are provided in both the upper and lower cavities. The adjusting plugs near the third partitions are truncated cone-shaped structures, smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. By adjusting the distance between the adjusting plug and the third partition, the gap between the truncated cone-shaped structure of the adjusting plug and the through hole in the middle of the third partition is adjusted. Multiple pads are evenly distributed on the bottom edge of the adjusting plug to prevent it from completely blocking the through hole in the middle of the third partition. An adjusting spring is provided on the back side of each adjusting plug.
[0013] The converging nozzle is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and a limit panel is provided at the upper port of the converging nozzle.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention utilizes a condensation recovery device to cool and recover unreacted methylsilane and byproducts generated during the CVD furnace. Dust particles are filtered by a particle filter and then extracted by a vacuum pump, preventing methylsilane residue from accumulating in the reaction chamber and pipes, thus reducing the risk of combustion and explosion. When the servo motor is activated, it drives a cleaning brush to clean the particle filter screen. Simultaneously, the servo motor drives the first adjusting turntable, adjusting ring, and second adjusting turntable to rotate, adjusting the working states of the working components at both ends of the feed pipe. This allows the feed pipe to alternate between dust particle filtration and dust particle cleaning. Airflow enters the lower chamber, and the pressure change caused by the flow rate change through the converging nozzle creates negative pressure in the negative pressure pipe, enabling the working components at both ends of the feed pipe to alternately filter dust particles and clean the particle filter screen. This ensures continuous dust particle filtration, alternately cleans the particle filter screen, and recovers the cleaned dust particles into the condensation recovery device, preventing dust from entering the vacuum pump.

[0037] In this embodiment, the jet pipe 27 has a diffuser-shaped structure with a smaller upper end and a larger lower end.
[0038] The preparation of SiC based on methylsilane specifically includes the following steps: Methylsilane, hydrogen, and argon are introduced into a mixing tank 1, where hydrogen is used as a carrier gas and argon as a dilution gas to mix with the methylsilane. The thoroughly mixed gas is then transported to a CVD furnace 2. A vacuum pump 3 is turned on to maintain the vacuum level in the CVD furnace 2, and the deposition temperature is controlled by heating. After the deposition time is reached, the vacuum state of the CVD furnace 2 is maintained for a cooling phase, during which a circulating cooling water tank 4 cools the CVD furnace 2. This controls the cooling time; after the CVD furnace 2 cools down to the safe opening temperature, the finished product is obtained by unloading; the unreacted methylsilane and byproducts produced in the CVD furnace 2 are discharged from the bottom of the CVD furnace 2 to the condensation recovery device 5, where they are cooled and recovered. The exhaust gas, carrying a small amount of dust, is filtered by the particle filter device 6 and then extracted by a vacuum pump. The exhaust gas is then treated in an alkaline solution before being discharged; the dust particles filtered by the particle filter device 6 are fed into the condensation recovery device 5.
[0039] Before using the particle filter device 6, the positions of the first adjusting disc 16, adjusting ring 18, and second adjusting disc 23 within the particle filter device 6 are calibrated to ensure that the working components at both ends of the feed pipe 9 of the particle filter device 6 are in two states: dust particle filtration and dust particle cleaning, respectively. During operation, the pipeline leading to the inlet of the vacuum pump 3 is connected to the particle filter device 6, and the airflow carrying dust particles enters the feed pipe 9 from the first feed inlet 901. The servo motor 13 is activated, driving the first adjusting disc 16 and adjusting ring 18. 8. The second adjusting turntable 23 rotates to adjust the working status of the working components at both ends of the feed pipe 9. As the output shaft of the servo motor 13 rotates, it drives the cleaning brush 20 to rotate relative to the particle filter screen 17, cleaning the dust particles filtered out on the particle filter screen 17. The output shaft of the servo motor 13 drives the first adjusting turntable 16, the adjusting ring 18, and the second adjusting turntable 23 to rotate, adjusting the position of the through holes on the first adjusting turntable 16, the adjusting ring 18, and the second adjusting turntable 23, thereby adjusting the working status of the working components at both ends of the feed pipe 9.
[0040] When the working part at the right end of the feed pipe 9 is in the dust particle filtering state, the right side of the feed pipe 9 is connected to the right first inner pipe 1001, the right first outer ring box 1002 is connected to the right second outer ring box 1102, and the right adjusting turntable 23 and the second partition 22 separate the discharge box 12 from the second inner pipe 1101. At this time, the airflow carrying dust particles enters the second inner pipe 1101 and is filtered by the particle filter screen 17. The dust particles are isolated in the second inner pipe 1101, and the filtered airflow enters the second outer ring box 1102. The dust then enters the first outer ring box 1002. At this time, the working part at the left end of the feed pipe 9 is in the dust particle cleaning state. At this time, the first adjusting turntable 16 and the first partition 15 on the left side of the feed pipe 9 separate the left first inner pipe 1001 from the left first inner pipe 1001. The adjusting ring 18 separates the left first outer ring box 1002 from the left second outer ring box 1102, and the discharge box 12 is connected to the second inner pipe 1101. At this time, the isolated dust particles are sucked into the dust discharge box 12 from the second inner pipe 1101 under the action of negative pressure.
[0041] After the airflow carrying dust particles enters the second inner pipe 1101, it is filtered by the particle filter 17 and the dust particles are isolated in the second inner pipe 1101. The filtered airflow enters the second outer ring box 1102 and then enters the first outer ring box 1002.
[0042] After filtration, the airflow entering the first outer ring box 1002 enters the middle cavity 2502 through the second feed port 2505. Then, it is split within the middle cavity 2502. Part of the airflow enters the upper cavity 2501 and is discharged from the third discharge pipe 2504 into the pump inlet of the vacuum pump 3. The other part of the airflow enters the lower cavity 2503 and is then sprayed through the converging nozzle 28 and the negative pressure pipe 26. Due to the Venturi effect, a negative pressure is generated at the part of the airflow passing through the negative pressure pipe 26, which draws the dust particles in the dust discharge box 12 into the negative pressure pipe and mixes with the sprayed airflow. The mixture is then blown from the spray pipe 27 into the condensation and recovery device, and the dust particles filtered by the particle filter 17 are recovered into the condensation and recovery device 5.
