Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of advanced materials manufacturing technology, and in particular to an intelligent production line and method for preparing carbon products by vapor deposition. Background Technology

[0002] High-purity graphite, carbon-ceramic composites, tantalum / tantalum carbide coatings, and SiC single crystals are indispensable key materials in semiconductors, aerospace, and nuclear industries. The performance of these materials is highly dependent on their purity, density, microstructure, and interfacial properties, thus placing high demands on the precise control and stability of their preparation processes. With the continuous advancement of industrial automation technology, the high-end materials manufacturing field is gradually transitioning to automated and integrated production lines. Currently, the commonly used model is automated units combined with manual intervention or single-function production lines. While this has improved production efficiency to some extent, several problems remain:

[0003] Existing production lines are mostly rigidly laid out with fixed paths, and suffer from insufficient real-time quality control. For example, existing technology discloses a SiC crystal growth apparatus, including an external coating structure, multiple heating devices, a growth crucible, a temperature acquisition device, and a driving device. It uses independently controlled axial and radial heating devices to control the SiC crystal growth process. Its production path is relatively simple and cannot flexibly switch to produce different products such as carbon matrix, TaC coating, or SiC single crystal according to order requirements. Existing technology also discloses a chemical vapor deposition device, which precisely controls the heat obtained by each area of ​​the heated object through power adjustment. It can accurately control the temperature inside the chamber, but product quality judgment still requires offline sampling inspection after the workpiece cools down, resulting in poor real-time performance and making it difficult to guarantee the consistency of mass production.

[0090] The pawl push rod III-02-01-01-04 has a protrusion on one side. One end of the pawl III-02-01-01-05 is hinged to the main push rod III-02-01-01-01, and the other end engages with the rack III-02-01-01-06. A slotted hole is formed at the end of the pawl III-02-01-01-05 near the rack III-02-01-01-06. The protrusion at the end of the pawl push rod III-02-01-01-04 is inserted into this slotted hole. Figure 11 As shown, the protrusion can move along the strip hole; Figure 11 Calculation of intermediate degrees of freedom: F =3 2-2 2-1=1, and its driving mechanism is a pawl pusher III-02-01-01-04. When the pawl pusher III-02-01-01-04 extends, it engages the pawl III-02-01-01-05 with the rack III-02-01-01-06 to achieve locking. When the pawl pusher III-02-01-01-04 retracts, it disengages the pawl III-02-01-01-05 from the rack III-02-01-01-06. Clamping force control is achieved by using a vision-assisted module III-02-02 (camera) to identify workpiece information, and the central control system VII calculates the required minimum clamping force and feeds back the control cylinder pressure.

[0091] The insulated box platform III-02-06 adopts a lifting insulated box structure, such as... Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the insulated box platform III-02-06 includes an insulated box body III-02-06-03, a platform III-02-06-01, and a lifting mechanism III-02-06-04. The lifting mechanism III-02-06-04 is installed inside the insulated box body III-02-06-03, and the platform III-02-06-01 is connected to the top of the lifting mechanism III-02-06-04. The insulated box body III-02-06-03 is also equipped with an openable lid (not shown in the figure). The lid is connected to the insulated box body III-02-06-03 by a hinge, forming a side-opening type. When the platform I-05-03 descends with the platform III-02-06-01 to the insulated box body III-02-08-03, the lid must be closed to form a closed insulated cavity.

[0092] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism III-02-06-04 adopts a scissor-type lifting structure driven by a screw and nut mechanism; the heat preservation box III-02-06-03 is made of high-efficiency heat insulation material, which can support the long-term heat preservation of workpieces at 1200℃, effectively reducing thermal shock and temperature fluctuations.

[0093] The working principle of the composite gripper III-02-01 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0094] Upon receiving the instruction from the central control system VII, the pawl cylinder III-02-01-01-03 is first activated, and the pawl push rod III-02-01-01-04 pushes the pawl III-02-01-01-05 outward, so that it engages with the rack III-02-02-01-06.

[0095] Subsequently, the main cylinder III-02-01-01-02 begins operation, pushing the main push rod III-02-01-01-01 to extend, causing the gripper arm III-02-01-02 to retract inward, bringing the gripper III-02-01-03 closer to the workpiece. During this process, the vision assistance module III-02-02 identifies the position and orientation of the workpiece in real time and provides data feedback through the positioning system III-02-04 to ensure precise alignment of the gripper III-02-01-03.

[0096] Once gripper III-02-01-03 contacts the workpiece surface, the cylinder piping system controlling gripper III-02-01-03 begins operation, driving gripper III-02-01-03 to apply clamping force synchronously. The magnitude of the clamping force is a theoretical value calculated by the central control system VII based on parameters such as workpiece mass, acceleration, and coefficient of friction. P Closed-loop control is implemented. When the system pressure sensor detects that the cylinder pressure has reached the target value... P At that time, the main cylinder III-02-01-01-02 stops pressurizing.

[0097] At this point, since the pawl III-02-01-01-05 is engaged with the rack III-02-01-01-06, and the main push rod III-02-01-01-01 is in a one-way locked state, even if the main cylinder III-02-01-01-02 is depressurized, the clamping force remains, preventing the workpiece from slipping due to external force or vibration during transport. The three-layer composite material on the surface of the gripper III-02-01-03 provides flexible contact and thermal insulation during this stage, protecting the workpiece surface.

[0098] When the clamping task is completed and the workpiece needs to be placed, the pawl cylinder III-02-01-01-03 first reverses its movement, pulling the pawl III-02-01-01-05 out of the rack III-02-01-01-06, thus releasing the mechanical self-locking mechanism. Subsequently, the main cylinder III-02-01-01-02 retracts the main push rod III-02-01-01-01, causing the clamping arm III-02-01-02 to open, completing the reset and preparing for the next operation.

[0099] In addition, for workpieces that have just completed coating preparation or have just been taken out of a high-temperature reactor (such as coating reaction chamber V-03 of the second preparation system V or single crystal growth furnace VI-03 of the third preparation system VI), the temperature is usually as high as several hundred degrees Celsius, and heat preservation and transportation are necessary to avoid thermal stress damage; the specific process is as follows:

[0100] The vision assistance module III-02-02 of the ground rail robot III first identifies the workpiece status and temperature. The vision assistance module III-02-02 uses a camera with thermal imaging function. Then, the robotic arm III-02-03 smoothly places the clamped workpiece onto the carrier plate I-05-03 on the platform III-02-06-01.

[0101] Then, the lifting mechanism III-02-06-04 lowers the platform III-02-06-01, completely housing the workpiece inside the insulated box III-02-06-03. The ground-rail robot body III-02 moves along the track III-01, transferring the entire insulated box platform III-02-06 to the next target workstation (such as the finished product warehouse area or the next level of the preparation system). Upon reaching the target workstation, the lifting mechanism III-02-06-04 raises the platform III-02-06-01, exposing the workpiece; the gripper III-02-01-03 can then perform the gripping action again, sending the workpiece to the next process (such as quality inspection, packaging, or further processing).

[0102] In this embodiment, the central control system VII integrates a MES scheduling module. It binds workpiece identification information and process parameters via RFID data links, monitors quality indicators such as density and defects in real time (using synchrotron radiation CT scans and laser-induced breakdown spectra), and automatically sorts out defective products. The finished product warehouse is equipped with a quality inspection robot I-04, a label attaching robot I-07, and packaging equipment I-08 to complete traceability information attachment and palletizing for warehousing.

[0103] The central control system VII primarily functions as a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) scheduler, end-to-end traceability, and real-time monitoring and closed-loop control. The MES receives production orders, dynamically plans production paths (e.g., activating only the first preparation system II to produce carbon-carbon composite materials, or coordinating three preparation systems to produce SiC single crystals), and schedules AGVs and ground-rail robots III to perform transportation and loading / unloading tasks. End-to-end traceability is achieved by using RFID transmission modules at each workstation to collect and bind raw material information, process parameters, and quality inspection data to the workpiece in real time. Real-time monitoring and closed-loop control display the status of each piece of equipment and the trends of process parameters, integrates quality inspection feedback, and provides real-time alarms and sorting for non-conforming products, thus achieving closed-loop quality control.

[0104] Example 2:

[0105] This embodiment provides a process for preparing carbon products by vapor deposition, using the intelligent production line described in Example 1, for preparing carbon products such as carbon-carbon composite materials (C / C); this embodiment is implemented through a first preparation system II and controlled by a central control system VII.

[0106] like Figure 20 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0107] S1. Order Receipt and Raw Material Preparation:

[0108] After the central control system VII receives the production order, the first loading and unloading robot I-02 picks up PAN-based carbon fiber (12K, target fiber volume content 55%) and carrier plate I-05-03 from the raw material shelf I-01 and places them on the AGV transport vehicle IV. The AGV transport vehicle IV takes the carrier plate I-05-03 with PAN-based carbon fiber to the starting station of the first preparation system II, and then the second loading and unloading robot II-01 picks up the material (PAN-based carbon fiber).

[0109] S2. Carrier board identification and information binding:

[0110] The ground-rail robot III uses its robotic arm III-02-03 and composite gripper III-02-01 to transfer the carrier plate I-05-03 to the laser marking platform II-03. The information of the carrier plate I-05-03 is scanned by the RFID transmission module, and laser marking (including a unique QR code and micro dot matrix) is performed. This identification information is then bound to the process formula of this production order in the central control system VII. After binding, the data is uploaded to the central control system VII through the RFID transmission module.

[0111] After laser marking is completed, the composite gripper III-02-01 of the ground rail robot III picks up the carrier plate I-05-03 and places it on the loading platform III-02-06-01 of the insulated box platform III-02-06 for subsequent workpiece-carrier plate information binding and workpiece transfer.

[0112] S3. Preparation of fiber preforms:

[0113] Carbon fiber raw materials are transferred to fiber weaving machine II-04 by the second loading and unloading robot II-01. They are then woven in three dimensions to form a fiber preform with a specific topological structure (such as internal flow channels). The weaving parameters are preset by the central control system VII according to the formula.

[0114] S4. Machining and Pretreatment:

[0115] The woven fiber preform is placed on carrier plate I-05-03 on ground-rail robot III and transferred to machining platform II-06 for precision machining to form the precise shape and mating surfaces required for the final product. After machining, the workpiece is sent by ground-rail robot III to pretreatment platform II-07, where it is impregnated with a hydrolytic resin through a vacuum pressure impregnation process, allowing the resin to fully fill the gaps between the fiber bundles.

[0116] S5. Plasma surface cleaning:

[0117] The pretreated workpiece is sent to the plasma cleaning station (integrated into the pretreatment platform II-07 or an independent station), where it is bombarded with plasma at 200W power for 90 seconds in an Ar / H2 mixed atmosphere to thoroughly remove surface contaminants and activate the fiber surface.

[0118] S6.CVD densification treatment:

[0119] After cleaning and activation, the workpiece is fed into the substrate carbonization reaction chamber II-08 by the ground-rail robot III for CVD carbon deposition densification treatment. The key process parameters for CVD densification treatment include: precursor atmosphere of C3H8 (propylene) / H2 with a flow ratio of 1:4; reaction chamber pressure of 15 kPa; and temperature control in stages (1000°C initially and 1150°C later).

[0120] The composite gripper III-02-01 of the ground-rail robot III adaptively adjusts its clamping force based on the workpiece information identified by the vision assistance module III-02-02. After the reaction is complete, the composite gripper III-02-01 places the workpiece in the insulated platform III-02-06 to reduce thermal shock. During the gripping process, after the vision assistance module III-02-02 identifies the workpiece, it switches between different clamping forces for gripping. The identified and gripped workpiece corresponds to the minimum clamping force provided by the central control system VII.

[0121] The minimum clamping force must overcome all forces that cause the workpiece to slip, satisfying the following:

[0122]

[0123] In the formula, F 滑移 This represents the sum of all external forces parallel to the clamping surface (such as the component of gravity, inertial force, cutting force, etc.). μ This indicates the coefficient of friction between the material of the gripper III-02-01-03 and the workpiece material. n Indicates the number of effective friction surfaces (when clamped on one side). n =1, when clamped symmetrically on both sides n =2).

[0124] The formula for static or uniform vertical clamping is:

[0125]

[0126] In the formula, G This indicates the weight of the workpiece (N). S f This indicates the material safety factor for identifying the workpiece, with a value ranging from 1.5 to 3.

[0127] For horizontal transport (considering gravity and acceleration), the final threshold formula is:

[0128]

[0129] In the formula, m Indicates the mass of the workpiece (kg). a This represents the maximum acceleration during transport (m / s²).

[0130] Based on the above calculations of the theoretical minimum clamping force and the corresponding workpiece contact coefficient, the actual working air pressure of the main cylinder III-02-01-01-02 is calculated. P 1:

[0131] F 实际 = ( P 1× A) × η

[0132] In the formula, η represents mechanical efficiency, and A is the effective area of ​​the cylinder piston.

[0133] S7. For example Figure 23 As shown, the central control system VII determines the workpiece's destination based on the detection results and order requirements:

[0134] S7.1 Path 1 (as finished product entering the warehouse):

[0135] If the workpiece is qualified and the order requires carbon-carbon composite material, the ground-rail robot III transports it to the finished product warehouse. From there, it is connected by the inbound handling robot I-03 to the roller conveyor line I-05.

[0136] Online quality inspection and central scheduling decision-making: After densification, the workpieces exit the furnace and undergo online inspection by the quality inspection robot I-04 or integrated inspection equipment (such as synchrotron radiation CT scan, ultrasonic C-scan). The inspection data is transmitted to the central control system VII via RFID. Traceability information is affixed by the label printing device I-06 and the label affixing robot I-07, and then packaged by the packaging device I-08. Finally, the finished product loading and unloading robot I-09 places the finished product on the finished product shelf I-10.

[0137] S7.2 Path 2 (as a semi-finished product): If the workpiece is qualified and needs to be used as the base of the second preparation system V, the central control system VII controls the ground rail robot III to directly transfer it to the designated workstation of the second preparation system V.

[0138] Example 3:

[0139] This embodiment provides a process for preparing vapor-deposited carbon products, using the intelligent production line described in Example 1, for preparing coated carbon products with porous tantalum / TaC coating. This embodiment achieves this through the linkage of the first preparation system II and the second preparation system V.

[0140] Specifically, such as Figure 21 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0141] S1. The porous carbon matrix is ​​prepared by the first preparation system II:

[0142] S1.1 Matrix Forming: In the pretreatment platform II-07, a specific ratio of organic matter, foaming agent, additives and magnetic nanoparticles are mixed and cured under magnetic field induction to form a three-dimensional network open-cell matrix (open-cell rate 85%).

[0143] S1.2 Carbonization and Purification: The matrix is ​​placed in matrix carbonization reaction chamber II-08 for carbonization and purification, and chlorine-containing gas is introduced into graphite powder purification reaction chamber II-05 or the same reaction chamber for purification to obtain a high-purity porous carbon skeleton (impurities ≤0.3wt%).

[0144] It should be noted that if a TaC-coated product is being prepared, this step will output a high-purity graphite skeleton.

[0145] S1.3 Surface treatment: Plasma cleaning and roughening treatment of the substrate (Ra≤3μm).

[0146] S2. Matrix Transfer, Cleaning and Quality Inspection: The porous carbon matrix prepared by the first preparation system II is transferred by the ground-rail robot III to the first pretreatment platform V-01 of the second preparation system V, where the matrix is ​​subjected to ultrasonic cleaning, oxygen plasma treatment and online quality inspection to ensure its cleanliness and integrity; the data is transmitted to the central control system VII via RFID.

[0147] S3. Preparation of TaCl5 reaction gas: Place the tantalum metal material in the TaCl5 preparation reaction chamber V-02-02, heat it to about 400°C, and then introduce high-purity chlorine gas to react and generate high-purity TaCl5 gas. Mix it with hydrogen and argon in proportion in the gas mixing tank V-02-03 for later use.

[0148] S4. CVD deposition of TaC coating: The cleaned and activated substrate is sent into the coating reaction chamber V-03 and pulsed CVD process is adopted: the system is preheated to 1500°C; a TaCl5 / H2 / Ar mixed gas is pulsed for 2 seconds, followed by H2 purging for 1 second; a CH4 / H2 / Ar mixed gas is pulsed for 1.5 seconds, followed by H2 purging for 1 second; the cycle is repeated for 120 minutes.

[0149] S5. Coating quality inspection and central dispatch decision-making:

[0150] S5.1 Path 1 (Warehoused as Finished Product): After deposition, the workpiece undergoes quality inspection (such as SEM, scratch testing) in the first pre-processing platform V-01 warehouse. The data is uploaded to the central control system VII. If the workpiece is qualified (such as TaC coated products), the process is the same as step S7.1 in Example 2, and it is transported to the finished product warehouse area by the ground-rail robot III to complete the warehousing.

[0151] For porous tantalum products, they are not used as subsequent molds and are directly put into storage.

[0152] S5.2 Path 2 (transfer as a semi-finished product): If the product under manufacturing is a TaC coated workpiece that is qualified and serves as a mold for the third preparation system VI, the ground-rail robot III will transfer it to the third preparation system VI.

[0153] Example 4:

[0154] This embodiment provides a process for preparing carbon products by vapor deposition, using the intelligent production line described in Example 1, for the preparation of 4H-SiC single crystal carbon products, which is achieved through the linkage of the first preparation system II, the second preparation system V, and the third preparation system VI.

[0155] Specifically, such as Figure 22 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0156] S1. TaC Coating Mold Preparation and Quality Inspection: Using the high-quality TaC coated graphite mold produced in Example 3, the mold is transported by ground-rail robot III to the second pretreatment platform VI-01 of the third preparation system VI for cleaning and quality confirmation.

[0157] S2. Mold cleaning and PVD seed layer deposition: The mold is subjected to high-temperature baking and acid cleaning at the cleaning station (integrated in the second pretreatment platform VI-01). After cleaning, it is sent to the PVD reaction chamber (integrated in the single crystal SiC manufacturing reaction chamber VI-03), where an ultra-thin tantalum film is deposited on its inner surface by sputtering as a seed layer.

[0158] S3. SiC Source Powder Preparation and Loading: High-purity (≥5N) silicon and carbon source materials react in the silicon carbide high-temperature reaction chamber VI-02-01 of the SiC powder preparation platform VI-02 to generate SiC powder, which is then purified in the SiC purification reaction chamber VI-02-03 to obtain high-purity SiC powder. The high-purity SiC powder raw material is placed into the single-crystal SiC manufacturing reaction chamber VI-03 by the fourth loading and unloading robot VI-02-02, and the mold is placed into the designated position in the reaction chamber by the ground-rail robot III.

[0159] S4. SiC Single Crystal PVT Growth: The mold is sent into the manufacturing reaction chamber VI-03 for single crystal SiC growth using the PVT method.

[0160] The process parameters are controlled by the central control system VII: growth temperature 2250°C, axial temperature gradient 55°C / cm, Ar atmosphere 40 mbar, growth rate 0.3 mm / h.

[0161] S5. Crystal Cooling and Insulation Transfer: After growth, the crystal is slowly cooled to approximately 200°C in the furnace. The central control system VII controls the ground-rail robot III to execute the "insulation transfer path," transferring the crystal mold assembly to the subsequent workstation via the insulation box platform III-02-06.

[0162] S6. Crystal quality assessment and post-processing: After the grown SiC ingot is cut, ground and polished, a quality assessment is performed (e.g., KOH etching to measure EPD, XRD to measure FWHM).

[0163] S7. Packaging and Warehousing: Qualified monocrystalline products are finally packaged, labeled and warehoused in the finished product warehouse area according to the process described in step S7.1 of Example 2.

[0164] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
