The graphite crucible is sent into the workshop 9, the nitrogen making chamber 12 inhales air through the air inlet pipe 13, compresses the air, and according to the principle that the liquefaction points of various components in the air are different, nitrogen can be extracted through compression cooling, and the nitrogen enters the cooling chamber 11, and its temperature is adjusted to 10°C, and then the nitrogen is transported to the two ventilation ducts 8 through the air supply pipe 10, so as to cool down and prevent oxidation of the crucible in the workshop.

[0027] Preferably, both the front and rear sides of the workshop 9 are provided with a crucible through-port 2. The crucible to be processed enters or is sent out of the workshop 9 through the crucible through-port 2. A closing plate is provided on the crucible through-port 2. When necessary, the closing plate can be closed to block the crucible through-port 2.

[0028] Preferably, vents 14 are provided on both sides of the workshop 9, and the ventilation duct 8 is connected to the interior of the workshop 9 through the vents 14. The vents 14 are provided on the side walls of the workshop, and cooling gas passes through the vents 14 and enters the workshop 9 from the ventilation duct 8 to cool the crucible in the workshop 9.

[0029] Preferably, the exhaust system includes an air outlet main pipe 5 and an air pump 7. The air pump 7 is provided with multiple groups. The multiple groups of air pumps 7 are arranged on the top of the workshop 9. The multiple groups of air pumps 7 are arranged in a straight line. The bottom of the air pump 7 is connected to the inside of the workshop 9. The top of the air pump 7 is connected to an air outlet branch pipe 6, and each air outlet branch pipe 6 is connected to the air outlet main pipe 5. Through the air pump 7, the gas in the workshop 9 is sucked out through the air outlet branch pipe 6 and the air outlet main pipe 5. The air is sucked out to reduce the possibility of oxidation reaction caused by the product contacting with oxygen, and the waste gas at the top of the workshop 9 after heat expansion is sucked out.

[0030] Preferably, one end of the gas outlet main pipe 5 is closed, and the other end is connected to the waste gas collecting box 3. The waste gas flows into the waste gas collecting box 3 and is discharged.

[0031] Preferably, an observation hole 4 is provided on the top of the waste gas collection box 3. The observation window 4 is an open structure.

Driven by the motor, the electric roller 16 rotates, and the friction between the electric roller 16 and the graphite crucible causes the crucible to run along the guide rail 15. The low-temperature guide rail 15 is arranged relatively close as a whole, which reduces the floor space and increases the length of the guide rail 15, thereby increasing the cooling time inside the workshop 9, ensuring sufficient cooling of the crucible and the product in the crucible, and ensuring the personal safety of the operator. The straight part of the guide rail 15 is a cylindrical electric roller 16 with a moderate diameter, and the electric roller 16 at the turning part is a truncated cone with a small taper, which ensures the smooth transmission of the crucible on the guide rail 15.

[0035] When in use, start the air pump 7, and pause after discharging the high-temperature exhaust gas in the workshop 9, start the nitrogen making chamber 12 and the cooling chamber 11, and transport the prepared nitrogen to the ventilation duct 8 and the workshop 9. The finished nitrogen can also be directly connected to the cooling chamber 11, and used directly after temperature control.

The heated graphite crucible is placed on the guide rail 15 through the crucible through the port 2, and the electric roller 16 on the guide rail 15 is started. During the S-shaped route transportation of the crucible, the crucible is cooled and cooled at the same time.

Finally, the cooled graphite crucible is removed and the product is collected.
