AI Technical Summary
The heating area of existing single crystal furnaces is concentrated in one location, which means that only a single location can be heated or cooled during the heating process. During crystal pulling, the temperature difference between the low-temperature zone and the high-temperature zone of the crystal rod is large, and the transition zone is short, which affects the quality of the crystal rod.
It adopts a multi-segment heating structure, which uses multiple resistance heaters to be distributed and the spacing between the heaters is adjusted by motor control. Combined with temperature sensors to adjust the position of the heaters in real time, it can achieve uniform heating and gradual cooling of different heights inside the furnace.
This method enables rapid heating of the crucible and gradual cooling of the silicon rod, reducing the impact of thermal stress on the quality of the crystal rod and improving the stability and quality of single crystal growth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects realized by the application easy to understand, the application will be further described below in combination with specific embodiments.
[0023] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the single crystal furnace with multi-section heating structure according to the embodiment of the application includes a control device 1, one side of the control device 1 is fixed with a furnace body 11, a support frame 121 is installed at the top end of the control device 1, the support frame 121 is connected with a crystal pulling assembly 12 through a lifting device at one side close to the furnace body 11, a first lifting rod 122 is arranged in the crystal pulling assembly 12, a clamping seat 123 is fixed at the bottom end of the first lifting rod 122, the clamping seat 123 can clamp a seed crystal at the bottom end, an isolation pipe 111 is fixed in the furnace body 11, a crucible 112 is arranged in the isolation pipe 111, a rotating assembly 113 is installed at the bottom end in the furnace body 11, the rotating shaft end of the rotating assembly 113 is fixedly connected with the bottom end of the crucible 112; The inside of the isolation tube 111 is provided with a plurality of resistance heaters 13, and adjacent two resistance heaters 13 are provided with a gap, and a plurality of temperature sensors 132 are installed at the top end of each resistance heater 13 at equal intervals, and the temperature sensor 132 is smaller in height than the size of the gap between the resistance heaters 13, and the first motor 131 is installed at the bottom end of the inside of the furnace body 11 on both sides; Wherein, when the first motor 131 rotates forward, the spacing between the resistance heaters 13 is increased, and when the first motor 131 reverses, the spacing between the resistance heaters 13 is reduced; When the crystal bar is manufactured, a single crystal furnace will be used, the single crystal furnace will heat and melt the polycrystalline silicon particles, and pull out the silicon rod through the seed crystal, and when in use, the lifting device of the support frame 121 drives the pulling crystal assembly 12 to rise from the top end of the furnace body 11, at this time the pulling crystal assembly 12 drives the first lifting rod 122 and the clamping seat 123 to separate from the inside of the furnace body 11, then the polycrystalline silicon particles are put into the inside of the crucible 112, and the seed crystal is installed at the bottom end of the clamping seat 123, after installation, the lifting device drives the pulling crystal assembly 12 to move downwards, at this time the pulling crystal assembly 12 drives the first lifting rod 122 and the clamping seat 123 to extend into the inside of the furnace body 11, the pulling crystal assembly 12 seals the top end of the furnace body 11, then the resistance heater 13 is powered on, the resistance heater 13 generates heat to heat the crucible 112, at this time the polycrystalline silicon particles in the inside of the crucible 112 are heated and melted, after melting, the first lifting rod 122 drives the clamping seat 123 to make the seed crystal at the bottom end thereof contact the liquid silicon material, then the mechanism in the inside of the pulling crystal assembly 12 pulls the first lifting rod 122 to rise, the first lifting rod 122 pulls the clamping seat 123 to make the seed crystal drive the liquid silicon material to move upwards, at the same time, the rotating assembly 113 drives the crucible 112 to rotate slowly, when the liquid silicon material rises from the liquid plane of the crucible 112, the temperature will be reduced below the melting point, at this time the silicon material will re-solidify into a solid, in this way, the seed crystal is slowly pulled up, so that the liquid silicon material forms a silicon rod at the bottom of the seed crystal; When melting polycrystalline silicon particles, the crucible 112 needs to be heated. This requires a large amount of heat inside the crucible 112, but after heating, only the melting point temperature needs to be maintained. Therefore, when heating the crucible 112, the first motor 131 is activated to move multiple resistance heaters 13, causing them to converge on the outside of the crucible 112. This allows multiple resistance heaters 13 to heat the crucible 112 simultaneously, while temperature is measured simultaneously by a temperature sensor 132 positioned below adjacent resistance heaters 13. When the polycrystalline silicon particles inside the crucible 112... Once silicon reaches its melting point, the crucible 112 requires less heat, necessitating the dispersion of multiple resistance heaters 13. At this point, the first motor 131 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the multiple resistance heaters 13 to rise and disperse. Simultaneously, the temperature sensor 132 at the top of each resistance heater 13 measures the temperature. The dispersed resistance heaters 13 then adjust according to the measured temperature, causing the temperature of the lowest resistance heater 13 to gradually decrease upwards. This method allows the silicon rod to be gradually cooled after being pulled out, thus preventing excessive temperature differences at the points where the silicon rod passes through, which could affect the molding quality of the silicon rod due to internal thermal stress.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, fixing plates 133 are fixed on both sides of the bottom resistance heater 13. The fixing plates 133 are fixedly connected to the isolation tube 111. The shaft end of the first motor 131 passes through the interior of the fixing plate 133, and a rotating column 134 is fixed to the shaft end. Top connecting plates 137 are fixed on both sides of the top resistance heater 13. A rotating tube 1362 is fixed on one side of the top connecting plate 137. A movable plate 1351 is provided below the top connecting plate 137. The movable plate 1351 is fixedly connected to one of the resistance heaters 13. A rotating tube 1361 is rotatably connected to one side of the movable plate 1351. A rotating column 1342 is fixed to the top of the rotating tube 1361 and inserted into the rotating tube 1362. A movable plate 135 is provided above the fixed plate 133. The movable plate 135 is also fixedly connected to one of the resistance heaters 13. A rotating tube 136 is rotatably connected to one side of the movable plate 135. A rotating column 2 1341 is fixed at the top of the rotating tube 136. The rotating column 2 1341 is inserted inside the rotating tube 2 1361. The rotating column 134 is inserted inside the rotating tube 136. A spiral groove 139 is provided on the outer side of the rotating column 134, the rotating column 2 1341 and the rotating column 3 1342. A limit groove is provided at the top and bottom of the spiral groove 139. A protrusion 138 is fixed on both sides inside the rotating tube 136, the rotating tube 2 1361 and the rotating tube 3 1362. The protrusion 138 is slidably connected inside the spiral groove 139. In the initial state, the distance between the resistance heaters 13 is at its minimum. (Reference) Figure 3After the crucible 112 is heated, the resistance heaters 13 need to be dispersed. At this time, the first motor 131 is started to rotate in the opposite direction. The first motor 131 drives the rotating column 134 to rotate. The fixed plate 133 keeps the lowest resistance heater 13 in a fixed state. The rotating column 134 at the end of the rotating shaft rotates inside the upper rotating tube 136. Due to the weight of the multiple resistance heaters 13 above, pressure is applied to the top connecting plate 137, the second movable plate 1351 and the first movable plate 135, so that the rotating tube 136, the second rotating tube 1361 and the third rotating tube 1362 remain stationary. At this time, the rotating column 134 will extend out of the interior of the rotating tube 136 under the action of the protrusion 138 and the spiral groove 139. Then the spiral groove 139 of the rotating column 134 and the protrusion 138 of the rotating tube 136 will be stuck, so that the rotating column 134 and the rotating tube 136 form a whole. At this time, continuing to rotate the first rotating column 134 will drive the first rotating tube 136 to rotate, and the first rotating tube 136 will drive the second rotating column 1341 at the top to rotate. The second rotating column 1341 extends out from the inside of the second rotating tube 1361 under the action of the protrusion 138 and the spiral groove 139, and connects the second rotating column 1341 and the second rotating tube 1361 through the protrusion 138 and the spiral groove 139. Next, rotating the first rotating column 134 drives the first rotating tube 136, the second rotating column 1341 and the second rotating tube 1361 to rotate. The second rotating tube 1361 drives the third rotating column 1342 to extend out from the inside of the third rotating tube 1362 under the action of the protrusion 138 and the spiral groove 139. At this time, the distance between the four adjacent resistance heaters 13 is adjusted to the same distance, and the multiple resistance heaters 13 are controlled to be set to different temperatures from bottom to top, so that the formed silicon rod is gradually cooled down.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a spiral heat-absorbing tube 124 is fixed at the bottom of the clamping seat 123, and a box 2 is fixed on the side of the furnace body 11 away from the control device 1. A heating pot 22 is installed inside the box 2, and heat dissipation fins 128 are installed below the heating pot 22. Among them, the spiral heat absorption tube 124 absorbs the heat of the seed crystal held by the clamping seat 123, and the heat dissipation fins 128 conduct and evaporate the heat. During the seed crystal pulling process, heat from the liquid silicon material is absorbed. At this time, the spiral heat absorption tube 124 absorbs the heat and conducts it to the heat dissipation fins 128. The heat dissipation fins 128 heat the heating pot 22. The polycrystalline silicon particles to be used are placed inside the heating pot 22. The polycrystalline silicon particles are dried by heat, which can preheat the polycrystalline silicon particles and dry their surface moisture, so as to avoid being affected during the melting process.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a water pump 127 is installed on one side of the top of the box 2. A water outlet pipe 126 is fixed to the outer end of the spiral heat absorption pipe 124, and a water inlet pipe 125 is fixed to the inner end of the spiral heat absorption pipe 124. The other end of the water inlet pipe 125 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 127. The water inlet of the water pump 127 is connected to the water outlet of the heat dissipation fin 128 through a pipe. The other end of the water outlet pipe 126 is connected to the water inlet of the heat dissipation fin 128. An air inlet is opened at the bottom of the box 2, and a cooling fan 21 is installed inside the air inlet. A heat-conducting fluid is injected into the spiral heat absorber 124, the inlet pipe 125, and the outlet pipe 126. When the spiral heat absorber 124 needs to conduct heat, the water pump 127 is started to draw liquid and input it into the inlet pipe 125. The inlet pipe 125 inputs the liquid into the middle of the spiral heat absorber 124 and diffuses it outward through the middle of the inlet pipe 125. At the same time, the liquid inside the spiral heat absorber 124 carries away the heat absorbed by the spiral heat absorber 124 and inputs it into the outlet pipe 126. The outlet pipe 126 inputs the liquid into the heat dissipation fins 128. The heat dissipation fins 128 evaporate the heat of the liquid. The heat can be carried away by the airflow through the cooling fan 21. The airflow carrying heat can heat the heating pot 22 by passing through the bottom of the heating pot 22, thereby preheating the polycrystalline silicon particles inside the heating pot 22.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a first tilting frame 243 is provided inside the heating pot 22, and a connecting rod 245 is fixed in the middle of the first tilting frame 243. A second motor 242 is provided above the heating pot 22, and the end of the rotating shaft of the second motor 242 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 245. During the heating process inside the heating pot 22, the particles inside the heating pot 22 will be in a static state. At this time, only the particles close to the inside of the heating pot 22 can be heated well. Starting the second motor 242 drives the connecting rod 245 to rotate, which can drive the first turning frame 243 to rotate inside the heating pot 22. At this time, the first turning frame 243 can turn the particles in contact with the surface of the heating pot 22, so that more particles can come into contact with the surface of the heating pot 22.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a lifting frame 24 is installed at the bottom of the second motor 242, and a second lifting rod 232 is provided on the side of the lifting frame 24 away from the second motor 242. A support plate 23 is fixed on one side of the housing 2, and the bottom end of the second lifting rod 232 is fixedly connected to the support plate 23. When the preheating is complete and the particles inside the heating pot 22 need to be transferred into the crucible 112, the first tilting frame 243 needs to be separated from the heating pot 22. At this time, the second lifting rod 232 is activated to lift the lifting frame 24. The lifting frame 24 drives the connecting rod 245 to separate the first tilting frame 243 from the inside of the heating pot 22, which makes it easier to remove the heating pot 22 from the inside of the box 2.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, guide holes 231 are provided on both sides of the support plate 23, and sliders are provided on both sides of the lifting frame 24. The sliders are slidably connected inside the guide holes 231. When the lifting frame 24 is raised, it slides inside the guide hole 231 through the sliders on both sides, which can maintain the stability of the lifting frame 24 during lifting.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a bent section is provided above the guide hole 231, and the slider can slide inside the bent section; When the slider slides from the guide hole 231 into the bent section, the lifting frame 24 is driven by the slider to move in the direction of the second lifting rod 232; When the first tilting rack 243 is raised, in order not to block the heating pot 22, a bent section is set above the guide hole 231. When the slider slides to the bent section, it will drive the slider to move the lifting rack 24 towards the direction of the second lifting rod 232. At this time, the lifting rack 24 drives the first tilting rack 243 to move into the support plate 23, so that the first tilting rack 243 will not block the path of taking out the heating pot 22.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a guide rail 241 is fixed to the bottom end of the lifting frame 24, and a guide block 233 is fixed to the top end of the second lifting rod 232. The guide block 233 is slidably connected to the outside of the guide rail 241. When the lifting frame 24 slides inside the support plate 23, in order to maintain the connection between the second lifting rod 232 and the lifting frame 24, a guide block 233 is provided that can slide outside the guide rail 241. At this time, the guide rail 241 and the guide block 233 can keep the lifting frame 24 in a horizontal state when it moves towards the second lifting rod 232.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a pair of second tilting frames 244 are rotatably connected inside the first tilting frame 243. One end of the rotating shaft of the second tilting frame 244 is rotatably connected inside the connecting rod 245. A rotating rod 246 is rotatably connected inside the connecting rod 245. A gear is fixed at the bottom end of the rotating rod 246. A gear is fixed at the end of the second tilting frame 244. The gear and the gear are meshed together. A first gear 248 is fixed at the top end of the rotating rod 246. A second gear 249 is meshed with one side of the first gear 248. The second gear 249 is rotatably connected inside the connecting rod 245. The other side of the second gear 249 extends out from the outside of the connecting rod 245. A toothed ring 247 is fixed near the bottom end of the lifting frame 245. The toothed ring 247 and the second gear 249 are meshed together. When the first turning rack 243 turns the material inside the heating pot 22, the particles in the middle of the heating pot 22 are not turned. Therefore, a second turning rack 244 is set up. When the connecting rod 245 rotates, it drives the first gear 248 and the second gear 249 to rotate. When the second gear 249 rotates, it rotates inside the gear ring 247. The second gear 249 is driven to rotate by the gear ring 247. The second gear 249 drives the first gear 248 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating rod 246 to drive the gear plate to rotate. The gear plate drives the second turning rack 244 to rotate through the two gears to turn the material in the middle of the heating pot 22, which can achieve better heating inside the heating pot 22.
