Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of diamond manufacturing technology, and more particularly to a diamond manufacturing apparatus and method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main methods for producing nanodiamonds are detonation and underwater electro-explosion of metal wires.

[0003] The detonation method involves mixing explosives, graphite, catalysts, etc., and using the high temperature and pressure generated during the explosion to synthesize nanodiamonds. This method has complex safety control, low nanodiamond conversion rate, and cannot achieve automated continuous production, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0004] The underwater electro-explosion metal wire method refers to the process in which a strong pulse current passes through a metal wire in an underwater environment, causing the metal wire to heat up, melt, ionize, expand, and explode in a very short time. This generates shock waves and localized high temperatures in the water, causing carbon atoms to produce nanodiamonds under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

[0005] However, since electrical explosions require the use of metal wires as the explosion medium, the metal compounds produced by the metal wire explosions increase the complexity of nanodiamond purification. Furthermore, the wire preparation and feeding steps of electrical explosions also increase the complexity of nanodiamond preparation processes, affecting nanodiamond production efficiency.

[0025] Currently, the main methods for producing nanodiamonds are detonation and underwater electro-explosion of metal wires.

[0026] The detonation method involves mixing explosives, graphite, catalysts, etc., and using the high temperature and pressure generated during the explosion to synthesize nanodiamonds. This method has a low nanodiamond conversion rate, complex safety control, and cannot achieve automated continuous production, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0027] The underwater electro-explosion metal wire method refers to the process in which a strong pulse current passes through a metal wire in an underwater environment, causing the metal wire to heat up, melt, ionize, expand, and explode in a very short time. This generates shock waves and localized high temperatures in the water, causing carbon atoms to produce nanodiamonds under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

[0028] However, since electrical explosions require the use of metal wires as the explosion medium, the metal compounds produced by the metal wire explosions increase the complexity of nanodiamond purification. Furthermore, the wire preparation and feeding steps of electrical explosions also increase the complexity of nanodiamond preparation processes, affecting nanodiamond production efficiency.

[0029] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides a diamond manufacturing apparatus, including a container and a discharge device; A container for holding liquid slurries whose components include water and carbon source substances; A discharge device is used to discharge a liquid slurry to trigger an explosion; wherein the discharge device includes a power supply mechanism and discharge electrodes, the discharge electrodes including a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode being configured to contact the liquid slurry to discharge the liquid slurry, and the power supply mechanism being used to output direct current power to the liquid slurry through the discharge electrodes to trigger an explosion, thereby creating an environment for synthesizing nanodiamonds.

[0030] This application solves the problems of existing technologies by eliminating the metal wire explosion medium and using a container to hold a liquid slurry composed of carbon source material and water. The first and second electrodes are directly subjected to high-voltage discharge to the liquid slurry, initiating a liquid-electric effect explosion directly within the liquid. This addresses two key issues: First, it avoids the safety problems associated with the use of explosives in detonation methods, enabling automated continuous production and improving the production efficiency of nanodiamonds. Second, it completely eliminates the dependence on metal wires in the underwater electro-explosion method, avoiding metal impurity contamination and simplifying subsequent purification processes for nanodiamonds. It also eliminates the cumbersome wire preparation and feeding steps, reducing process complexity and ultimately significantly improving the production efficiency of nanodiamonds.

[0031] The device is described below with reference to specific embodiments, including: A container used to hold a liquid slurry whose components include a carbon source and water; A discharge device is used to discharge a liquid slurry to trigger an explosion; wherein the discharge device includes a power supply mechanism and a discharge electrode, the discharge electrode including a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode being configured to contact the liquid slurry to discharge the liquid slurry, the power supply mechanism being used to output DC power to the liquid slurry through the discharge electrode, thereby triggering a liquid-electric effect explosion to generate a high-temperature and high-pressure environment for synthesizing nanodiamonds.

[0032] In some possible ways of implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the power supply mechanism (14) includes a capacitor, a first switch (13), a DC power supply (10), and a second switch (12). The first switch (13) is connected in series between the first plate (15) of the capacitor and the first electrode (such as an electrode rod (3)). The second plate (11) of the capacitor is connected to the second electrode (such as a container body (8)). The DC power supply (10) is connected in parallel with the capacitor through the second switch (12) to charge the capacitor.

[0033] The first switch (13) is configured to close after the capacitor has finished charging, so that the capacitor discharges the liquid slurry through the first electrode (such as the electrode rod (3)) and the second electrode (such as the container body (8)).

[0034] For example, the specific connection relationship and working process of its discharge device are as follows: The DC power supply (10) is connected in parallel with the capacitor through the second switch (12) to form a charging circuit. During the circuit preparation stage, the second switch (12) is closed, and the DC power supply charges the capacitor and stores electrical energy in the capacitor.

[0035] The discharge circuit consists of a capacitor, a first switch (13), and two electrodes in contact with the liquid slurry. The first end of the first switch (13) is connected in series with the first plate (15) of the capacitor, and the second end of the first switch (13) is connected to the first electrode (e.g., electrode rod (3)). The second plate (11) of the capacitor is connected to the second electrode (e.g., container body (8)). When the capacitor is fully charged, the first switch (13) is closed. At this time, the high-voltage electrical energy stored in the capacitor is released instantaneously through the first switch (13) and discharged at high voltage inside the liquid slurry in the container via the first electrode (e.g., electrode rod (3)) and the second electrode (e.g., container body (8)). This instantaneous huge current acts directly on the slurry, triggering a strong electrohydraulic effect explosion, thereby generating the high-temperature and high-pressure environment required for the synthesis of nanodiamonds at the explosion center. This pulse power method of discharge through the discharge device is the key to achieving a stable, controllable, and continuous electrohydraulic effect explosion.

[0036] In some possible implementations, the container is the core site where the electrohydraulic effect explosion occurs, and its structural design is directly related to the safety and efficiency of production.

[0037] Specifically, the container consists of two parts: the container body (8) and the container lid (5).

[0038] The container body can be made of a conductive material (e.g., a metallic material), which itself serves as the second electrode (e.g., a cathode) in the circuit. The container lid (5) can be made of an insulating material (e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene), on which an electrode rod (3) extending into the interior of the container body is provided, which constitutes a first electrode (e.g., an anode) opposite to the second electrode.

[0039] In some possible implementations, to ensure safety and prevent liquid leakage, a splash guard (7) is provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the container, and the liquid slurry level in the container is below the splash guard. The container cap (5) is placed into the container by placing the container cap support bolts (6) on the splash guard (7). The container cap is supported by at least two (e.g., four) container cap support bolts (6) on the splash guard. The diameter of the container cap is slightly smaller than the diameter of the inner wall of the container. The purpose of this design is to mechanically stabilize the position of the container cap (5) in the horizontal and vertical directions, so that the electrode rod set on the cap can be accurately inserted into the liquid slurry and maintain its relative position with the container wall, which serves as another electrode. At the same time, this design also ensures that in the event of a liquid-electric effect explosion, the liquid will not seep out from the edge of the container cap due to the presence of the splash guard.

[0040] In some possible implementations, the electrode rod can be fixed to the container lid (5) by a connecting rod (2), which passes through the container lid (5) and is reliably connected to an external high-voltage positive cable via a connecting nut (1). Thus, when the power supply mechanism is working, the high-voltage current discharges directly between the electrode rod (first electrode) and the container body (second electrode), triggering a hydroelectric effect explosion inside the liquid slurry, thereby efficiently and safely preparing nanodiamonds.

[0041] In some possible implementations, the high-voltage negative cable is connected to the negative terminal hole (9), and four electrode rods (3) (taking four as an example) are screwed onto the terminal rod (2). The terminal rod (2) passes through the container cover (5), and the high-voltage positive cable is connected between the fixing washer (4) and the terminal nut (1). The high-voltage positive cable and the terminal rod (2) are reliably fixed to the container cover (5) with the terminal nut (1).

[0042] When a pulsed high voltage is applied to the high voltage positive and high voltage negative cables, the electrode rod (3) discharges to the inner wall of the container (8), and then an electrohydraulic explosion occurs. The high temperature and high pressure generated by the explosion cause the graphite to be converted into nanodiamond.

[0043] In some possible implementations, in this embodiment, the liquid slurry contained in the container can be continuously stirred by a stirrer in the container to make the graphite and water mix evenly, thereby improving the efficiency of graphite conversion into nanodiamonds.

[0044] In some possible ways, a catalyst can be added to the slurry to improve the efficiency of graphite conversion into nanodiamonds during the electrohydraulic explosion.

[0045] In some possible implementations, the wiring nut (1) is an M10 copper nut.

[0046] The connecting rod (2) is a Φ20×300mm copper rod with an M10×50mm bolt.

[0047] The electrode rod (3) is an M6×150mm copper screw.

[0048] The fixing gasket (4) is a 304 stainless steel gasket with a thickness of 3mm.

[0049] The container lid (5) is a 10mm thick polytetrafluoroethylene sheet.

[0050] The container lid support bolt (6) is an M10×150mm polytetrafluoroethylene bolt.

[0051] The splash guard (7) is a 5mm thick 304 stainless steel plate.

[0052] The container body (8) is a 5mm thick 304 stainless steel plate.

[0053] The diameter of the negative terminal hole (9) is 10mm.

[0054] The connecting rod (2) is made of Φ20×300mm copper rod and equipped with M10×50mm bolt section. The electrode rod (3) is an M6×150mm copper screw. Together, they form a high-voltage discharge positive electrode path with excellent conductivity. The fixing gasket (4) is a 3mm thick 304 stainless steel gasket, used to enhance the tightness and conductivity reliability of the cable connection point. The container cover (5) is made of 10mm thick polytetrafluoroethylene plate. It is symmetrically placed inside the container body (8) by M10×150mm polytetrafluoroethylene container cover support bolts (6), which can achieve both reliable insulation and precise positioning. The container body (8) itself is made of 5mm thick 304 stainless steel plate. As the negative electrode of the discharge circuit and the reaction container, its inner wall is welded with a splash guard (7) of 5mm thick 304 stainless steel plate, which can effectively suppress slurry splashing. The negative electrode wiring hole (9) has a diameter of 10mm and is used to connect the high-voltage negative electrode cable. These components together constitute a robust, insulated, and highly efficient diamond manufacturing device.

[0055] In some possible implementations, the diamond manufacturing apparatus also includes a controller that can control the closing of a second switch while ensuring the first switch is open, at which point the DC power supply begins charging the capacitor. The controller determines whether charging is complete by detecting circuit parameters (such as capacitor voltage). If the capacitor is fully charged, the controller can first open the second switch to cut off the charging circuit, and then immediately close the first switch. The closing of the first switch causes the electrical energy stored in the capacitor to discharge instantaneously at high voltage through the first electrode (such as an electrode rod) and the second electrode (such as a container), thereby triggering a hydroelectric effect explosion. Through this precise timing control of the first and second switches, which is time-divisional and interlocked, the controller ensures the accuracy of the discharge energy and timing, achieving safe and automated continuous operation of the apparatus, ultimately improving the efficiency and operational safety of nanodiamond production.

[0056] In some possible implementations, the positive and negative polarities of the two discharge electrodes in the power supply device can be interchanged, that is, the polarities of the first electrode and the second electrode are not fixed. Depending on the situation, the liquid slurry can be discharged at high voltage through the two discharge electrodes with DC voltages of opposite polarities to trigger a liquid-electric effect explosion and generate a high-temperature and high-pressure environment for manufacturing diamond.

[0057] In some possible implementations, the power supply device can have multiple sets of discharge electrodes, each of which can independently discharge the liquid slurry at high voltage to trigger a liquid-electric effect explosion and generate a high-temperature and high-pressure environment for diamond manufacturing.

[0058] In some possible implementations, the capacitors of the power supply mechanism in the power supply device can output DC power to multiple sets of discharge electrodes, which then discharge high voltage into the liquid slurry to trigger a hydroelectric effect explosion, generating the high-temperature and high-pressure environment for diamond manufacturing. In some possible implementations, the DC power supply of the power supply mechanism in the power supply device can simultaneously support multiple capacitors. Each capacitor can output DC power to the corresponding discharge electrode, which in turn discharges the liquid slurry at high voltage to trigger a liquid-electric effect explosion, creating a high-temperature and high-pressure environment for manufacturing diamonds.

[0059] This application solves the problems of existing technologies by eliminating the metal wire explosion medium and using a container to hold a liquid slurry composed of carbon source material and water. The first and second electrodes are directly subjected to high-voltage discharge to the liquid slurry, initiating a liquid-electric effect explosion directly within the liquid. This addresses two key issues: First, it avoids the safety problems associated with the use of explosives in detonation methods, enabling automated continuous production and improving the production efficiency of nanodiamonds. Second, it completely eliminates the dependence on metal wires in the underwater electro-explosion method, avoiding metal impurity contamination and simplifying subsequent purification processes for nanodiamonds. It also eliminates the cumbersome wire preparation and feeding steps, reducing process complexity and ultimately significantly improving the production efficiency of nanodiamonds.

[0061] Optionally, controlling the discharge device to discharge the liquid slurry contained in the container includes: The second switch in the discharge device is closed to allow the DC power supply in the discharge device to charge the capacitor in the discharge device. Once charging is complete, the second switch is opened, and the first switch in the discharge device is closed, so that the capacitor discharges the liquid slurry through the electrodes in the discharge device.
