[0023] Example

[0024] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a silicon carbide workshop lifting device 100 provided in this embodiment.

[0025] The silicon carbide workshop lifting device 100 provided in this embodiment is used to transfer and lift the crucible in the silicon carbide workshop, so as to save time and effort to complete the operations such as loading and opening the silicon carbide crystal growth furnace.

[0026] The silicon carbide workshop lifting device 100 includes a vehicle body 110, a hydraulic system and a lifting platform 130. A supporting roller 111 is arranged at the bottom of the vehicle body 110, and a control handrail 112 is arranged on the vehicle body 110. The operator can apply a force to the vehicle body 110 through the control handrail 112 to drive the vehicle body 110 to move and adjust the running trajectory of the vehicle body 110; the hydraulic system is arranged on the vehicle body 110, and the lifting platform 130 is connected to the hydraulic system. The lifting platform 130 is used to carry a crucible and drive the crucible to move in a vertical direction under the drive of the hydraulic system.

[0027] In actual application, when the furnace needs to be loaded, the lifting platform 130 is first driven down to the lowest position by the hydraulic system, and then the crucible filled with silicon carbide powder is moved to the lifting platform 130. After completion, the vehicle body 110 drives the lifting platform 130 and the crucible to move in the silicon carbide workshop to move the crucible to the target position. Afterwards, the lifting platform 130 is driven by the hydraulic system to drive the crucible to move in the vertical direction to the target height, so as to facilitate the subsequent loading of the crucible into the crystal growth furnace.

[0028] When the growth of silicon carbide crystals is completed and the furnace needs to be opened, the vehicle body 110 first moves to the target position near the crystal growth furnace, and then the hydraulic system drives the lifting platform 130 to rise to the target height to facilitate the support of the crucible leaving the crystal growth furnace. After the crucible in the crystal growth furnace is moved to the lifting platform 130, the hydraulic system drives the lifting platform 130 to descend to the target height, and the vehicle body 110 drives the crucible to move to the target position for subsequent operations such as taking out the silicon carbide crystals and cleaning the crucible.

[0029] In this embodiment, the hydraulic system includes a hydraulic circuit and a hydraulic pump 121 and a cylinder 122 arranged on the hydraulic circuit. The fixed end of the cylinder 122 is arranged on the vehicle body 110, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 122 extends vertically upward and is connected to the lifting platform 130.

[0030] It is understandable that the hydraulic pump 121 is used to pump the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic circuit into the oil cylinder 122 in a positive or negative direction to provide a positive or negative driving force to the telescopic end of the oil cylinder 122, thereby driving the lifting platform 130 to rise or fall. In other embodiments, according to actual application conditions, different numbers of oil cylinders 122 can be configured between the lifting platform 130 and the vehicle body 110 to ensure that the lifting platform 130 can rise or fall in a stable posture.

[0031] The silicon carbide workshop lifting device 100 provided in this embodiment also includes an electric control system, which includes a battery 141 and a control switch 142. The battery 141 is electrically connected to the control switch 142 and the hydraulic pump 121 respectively, and the control switch 142 is used to control the start or stop of the hydraulic pump 121.

[0032] It is understandable that the battery 141 supplies power to the hydraulic pump 121, and the control switch 142 controls the start and stop and the operating state of the hydraulic pump 121. Specifically, when the lifting platform 130 drives the crucible to move to the target height, the operator controls the hydraulic pump 121 to stop through the control switch 142; when the lifting platform 130 switches between ascending and descending movements, the operator controls the hydraulic pump 121 to switch the operating state through the control switch 142.

[0033] Considering that the lifting platform 130 is usually raised to a higher height in actual applications, there is a large space between the lifting platform 130 and the vehicle body 110 . This space is a dangerous area and people may be easily injured if they enter by mistake.

[0034] In order to prevent personal injury, the silicon carbide workshop lifting device 100 provided in this embodiment also includes a scissors protection frame 150, one end of the scissors protection frame 150 is connected to the lifting platform 130, and the other end is connected to the vehicle body 110. The scissors protection frame 150 has a protection channel extending in the vertical direction, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 122 is accommodated in the protection channel.

[0035] It can be understood that the scissor protection frame 150 fills the space between the lifting platform 130 and the vehicle body 110, and the personnel in the workshop will no longer be able to easily enter the space, that is, the scissor protection frame 150 plays a role in safety protection. When the lifting platform 130 is raised, the scissor protection frame 150 is gradually extended under the drive of the lifting platform 130; and when the lifting platform 130 is lowered, the scissor protection frame 150 is gradually shortened under the drive of the lifting platform 130.

[0036] In fact, in addition to the role of safety protection, the scissor protection frame 150 also plays the role of lifting limit. Specifically, when the scissor protection frame 150 is extended to the maximum length driven by the lifting platform 130, the telescopic end of the oil cylinder 122 will not be able to extend further; when the scissor protection frame 150 is shortened to the minimum length driven by the lifting platform 130, the telescopic end of the oil cylinder 122 will not be able to retract further.

[0037] In addition, considering that after the lifting platform 130 drives the crucible to rise to the target height, the crucible is too heavy and is supported only by the oil cylinder 122 for a long time, the structural stability may be damaged. In order to solve this problem, in this embodiment, a locking member is provided on the scissor guard frame 150, and the locking member is used to selectively lock the scissor guard frame 150 under the action of an external force. When the scissor guard frame 150 is locked, the scissor guard frame 150 supports the lifting platform 130.

[0038] In other words, after the lifting platform 130 drives the crucible to rise to the target height, the operator locks the scissor guard frame 150 through the locking member. At this time, the state of the scissor guard frame 150 is fixed and will not be extended or shortened by external forces. When the crucible stays on the lifting platform 130 for a long time, the scissor guard frame 150 can continue to support the lifting platform 130, improve the stability of the overall structure, and thus improve safety.

[0039] In order to facilitate the operator to carry the crucible, in this embodiment, a plurality of supporting protrusions 131 are convexly provided on the upper surface of the lifting platform 130, and a hand-grip notch 132 is formed between any two adjacent supporting protrusions 131. It can be understood that when placing the crucible on the lifting platform 130 or moving it away from the lifting platform 130, the operator can hold the bottom of the crucible through the hand-grip notch 132 at the bottom of the crucible, thereby facilitating the operator to apply force to the crucible and reducing the difficulty of carrying.

[0040] In addition, in order to prevent the crucible from slipping during transportation, in this embodiment, an anti-skid pad is provided on the surface of the support protrusion 131 on the lifting platform 130, and the anti-skid pad is used to support the crucible. Specifically, the anti-skid pad can be a rubber block, which has a certain buffering capacity in addition to anti-skid ability.

[0041] In summary, the silicon carbide workshop lifting device 100 provided by the present invention is applied in a silicon carbide workshop and can replace manpower to complete the transfer and lifting of the crucible, thus saving time and labor.

[0042] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
