Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air entrainment devices, in particular to an air entrainment device that slows down the oxidation and discoloration of seed crystals. Background Art
[0002] The Czochralski method of pulling single crystal silicon is the mainstream method in today's photovoltaic industry. The furnace body of the single crystal furnace used includes a main furnace chamber and an auxiliary furnace chamber. During the crystal growth process, argon gas always flows from top to bottom in the single crystal furnace to provide an oxygen-free environment and take away volatiles and some excess heat. Seed crystals are key materials for producing Czochralski single crystal silicon. Their life and number of uses will greatly affect the cost investment. In current production, when the temperature adjustment time is long or the number of lead-in and release is high, the seed crystals are prone to oxidation and discoloration. The mechanical properties of the seed crystals after oxidation and discoloration will change, greatly increasing the possibility of fracture and posing a greater safety hazard to production. In addition, the occurrence of oxidation and discoloration will not only affect the quality of the pulled crystals to a certain extent, but also cause the time cost and labor cost of replacing the seed crystals to be wasted. For this reason, we propose an air entrainment device that slows down the oxidation and discoloration of the seed crystals to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] Further preferably, a vertical rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first connecting block, and an arc block and a limit block are fixedly connected to the outer side of the vertical rod.
[0007] Further preferably, the arc block and the corresponding limit block are movably contacted with a same cross bar, and the end of the cross bar extends outside the second connecting block and is fixedly connected with a pulling block.

Because the overall structure of the air hood is that the diameter of the air inlet end is the largest and then gradually shrinks, the airflow will be accelerated when passing through a narrow area. There is also a gradually shrinking narrow passage at the air outlet end of the lower air hood 2. After passing through this narrow passage, the airflow will be further accelerated, so that the heat and attached oxides near the seed crystal rod 7 can be taken away in time, delaying the oxidation and discoloration of the seed crystal rod 7, reducing safety hazards, increasing the number of times the seed crystal rod 7 can be used, and reducing production costs.

Argon gas enters from the air inlet end of the upper gas hood 1. Because the overall structure of the gas hood is that the diameter of the air inlet end is the largest, and then gradually shrinks, so that the airflow will be accelerated when passing through a narrow area. There is also a gradually shrinking narrow channel at the air outlet end of the lower gas hood 2. After passing through this narrow channel, the airflow will be further accelerated, so that the heat and attached oxides near the seed crystal rod 7 can be taken away in time, delaying the oxidation and discoloration of the seed crystal rod 7, reducing safety hazards, increasing the number of times the seed crystal rod 7 can be used, and reducing production costs.
