For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, an integrated external ignition device suitable for a diffusion furnace includes two sets of sealing covers 1 that are sealed together, a quartz bulb 4 is arranged in the middle of the cover body of the sealing cover 1, an ignition mechanism 2 that passes through the sealing cover 1 is arranged at one end of the pipe mouth of the quartz bulb 4, and a quartz tube 3 that passes through the sealing cover 1 is arranged at the other end of the pipe mouth of the quartz bulb 4, and the air ducts of the ignition mechanism 2 and the quartz tube 3 are both inserted into the bubble body cavity of the quartz bulb 4. By extending the air ducts of the ignition mechanism 2 and the quartz tube 3 to the interior of the quartz bulb 4 cavity, on the one hand, the integrated assembly performance between the components can be improved and the overall space occupancy performance can be reduced, and on the other hand, the contact area between the components can be increased, further improving the contact sealing of the node.

[0028] A cooling coil 5 surrounds the outside of the quartz bulb 4, and an inner groove matched with the cooling coil 5 is opened on the outside of the quartz bulb 4. The cooling coil 5 is a spiral tube structure. By opening an inner groove matched with the cooling coil 5 in an inwardly concave form on the outside of the quartz bulb 4, the cooling coil 5 can be kept at the same horizontal plane as the quartz bulb 4 when it surrounds the quartz bulb 4, so as to reduce the additional space occupied. The spiral winding of the cooling coil 5 can be used to uniformly cool the quartz bulb 4 later.

[0029] The chamber of the sealing cover 1 is filled with a sealing pad 6 that encapsulates the ignition mechanism 2, the quartz tube 3, the quartz bulb 4, and the cooling coil 5. The sealing pad 6 is a kind of rock wool board material, polyurethane foam material, and ceramic fiber material. After the assembly of the ignition mechanism 2, the quartz tube 3, the quartz bulb 4, and the cooling coil 5 is completed, the two sets of sealing covers 1 can be matched to cover the outside of each component, and the sealing pad 6 inside can be used. The sealing and wrapping of each component, on the one hand, plays a role of modular assembly with tight seams, and the integrated packaging is perfect, which occupies a small space, and its external nodes are less exposed, and the safety and stability are better, which can minimize the interference of the external environment and ensure the stability and accuracy of its working operation. On the other hand, it has good sealing, heat insulation, and wrapping padding functions, which can isolate the interference of external environmental factors, ensure the connection stability between the components, and the high efficiency of heat transfer.

[0030] The ignition mechanism 2 includes a hydrogen ring tube 21 and an oxygen ring tube 22 arranged in parallel with the hydrogen ring tube 21. One side of the pipeline of the hydrogen ring tube 21 is connected to a hydrogen main pipe 25, and the inner tube of the hydrogen ring tube 21 is provided with a plurality of hydrogen nozzles 27 extending to the inside of the pipeline of the oxygen ring tube 22 along its circumferential direction. One side of the pipeline of the oxygen ring tube 22 is connected to an oxygen main pipe 26, and the inner wall of the pipeline of the oxygen ring tube 22 is provided with a plurality of oxygen spray holes 28 arranged along its circumferential direction. The plurality of hydrogen nozzles 27 and the plurality of oxygen spray holes 28 are connected to each other. The gas injection holes 28 are arranged symmetrically in a ring shape. When ignition is performed, hydrogen is supplied to the hydrogen ring pipe 21 through the hydrogen main pipe 25, and is ejected in a horizontal spraying manner by utilizing the conduction and diversion of the hydrogen injection pipe 27. At the same time, oxygen is supplied to the oxygen ring pipe 22 through the oxygen main pipe 26, and is ejected in a vertical spraying manner by utilizing the conduction and diversion of the oxygen injection holes 28, and is mixed with the horizontally ejected hydrogen by counter-convection, so as to ensure the uniformity of the hydrogen-oxygen mixture and improve the sufficiency of its combustion in the diffusion furnace.

[0031] A first air pressure valve 23 is installed on one side of the pipeline of the hydrogen ring pipe 21, and a second air pressure valve 24 is installed on one side of the pipeline of the oxygen ring pipe 22. By arranging the first air pressure valve 23 on one side of the hydrogen ring pipe 21 and the second air pressure valve 24 on one side of the oxygen ring pipe 22, the supply pressures of hydrogen and oxygen can be monitored in real time to ensure the accuracy of the gas supply.

[0032] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the external ignition device is produced and assembled, the ignition mechanism 2 and the wind duct of the quartz tube 3 are inserted and extended to the inside of the quartz bulb 4 chamber, so as to improve the integrated assembly performance of the various components, reduce the contact area between the components, strengthen the contact sealing of the nodes, and synchronously coil the cooling coil 5 inside the groove of the quartz bulb 4 so that the two are kept at the same horizontal plane to reduce the additional space occupied. Subsequently, the spiral winding of the cooling coil 5 can be used to evenly cool the quartz bulb 4. Subsequently, the two sets of sealing covers 1 are sealed on the outside of the components in a matching manner, and the sealing pads 6 inside the sealing covers are used to seal and wrap the components, which plays a role on the one hand. The tightly jointed modular assembly has less exposed external nodes and better safety and stability. On the other hand, it has good sealing, heat insulation and wrapping cushioning functions, which can isolate the interference of external environmental factors. In the subsequent ignition work, hydrogen is supplied to the hydrogen ring tube 21 through the hydrogen main pipe 25, and is sprayed out in a horizontal spraying manner by utilizing the conduction and diversion of the hydrogen nozzle 27. At the same time, oxygen is supplied to the oxygen ring tube 22 through the oxygen main pipe 26, and is sprayed out in a vertical spraying manner by utilizing the conduction and diversion of the oxygen nozzle hole 28, and is mixed with the horizontally sprayed hydrogen by counter-convection, so that the hydrogen and oxygen combustion combination is fully burned in the diffusion furnace under the conduction and transportation of the quartz bulb 4 and the quartz tube 3.
