Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of single crystal furnaces, in particular to a rapid cooling structure of a single crystal furnace. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the production process of single crystal silicon in the semiconductor and solar energy industries, the Czochralski production process is more commonly used, and the equipment used is a Czochralski single crystal furnace. When using a single crystal furnace to pull a single crystal silicon rod, the silicon material needs to be heated to above 1420°C to melt it, and then the crystal is pulled into shape. The process flow of using a single crystal furnace for Czochralski single crystal production includes furnace loading, charging, furnace closure, evacuation, melting, crystal seeding, necking, shoulder release, equal diameter, finishing, furnace shutdown, furnace dismantling and other processes. The above-mentioned whole production process takes about 75 hours. Due to the slow cooling speed of the single crystal furnace, most of the existing single crystal furnaces can only rely on natural cooling methods to complete cooling very slowly, and then heat the next batch of workpieces. Because of the existence of the insulation layer, the natural cooling time takes a long time, so that the current furnace shutdown process takes 6 hours, which is time-consuming. If the furnace is dismantled in advance, the temperature is too high, which will damage the thermal field components in the single crystal furnace and increase production costs.

[0003] A single crystal furnace rapid cooling structure is disclosed in a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN217104136U, including a furnace body, the furnace body including a furnace bottom, a lower furnace body arranged on the furnace bottom, and an upper furnace body detachably connected to the lower furnace body, the lower furnace body including an inner cylinder arranged in the innermost layer and an outer cylinder wrapped and arranged outside the inner cylinder, a certain gap is provided between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder as a heat preservation cavity, a heat preservation medium is provided in the heat preservation cavity, a water-cooled copper tube is provided in the heat preservation cavity, the water-cooled copper tube is coiled around the inner cylinder, a plurality of fins fixedly connected to the side wall of the inner cylinder are further provided in the heat preservation cavity, the water-cooled copper tube runs through the fin arrangement, the utility model improves the cooling efficiency, can play a role of rapid cooling, is convenient for quickly processing the next batch of single crystal silicon, and is convenient for rapid cooling to maintain the furnace.

[0004] With respect to the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventor believes that there are the following defects: the above-mentioned device injects cooling water into the water cooling input pipe to allow cooling water to enter the heat preservation chamber, thereby dissipating heat from the inner cylinder. During long-term use, dirt such as scale, sediment and bacteria will accumulate on the inner wall of the heat preservation chamber, making it difficult to clean. If not handled, it is easy to reduce the cooling effect of the cooling water, which is not conducive to improving the user experience of the staff. Utility Model Content

[0015] Furthermore, a clamping block is arranged on the inner wall of the slide groove, and a clamping groove matching with the clamping block is opened on the side wall of the slide rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to improve the stability of the partition, when the staff does not need to use the slide bar, the staff only needs to press the slide bar downward and slowly release the slide bar, so that the card block and the card slot are aligned and connected to each other, and then the card block blocks the slide bar, so that the slide bar remains stable, thereby reducing the probability of the slide bar pressing against the partition at this time. Subsequently, when the staff needs to use the slide bar, the staff only needs to take out the partition and quickly release their fingers after pressing the slide bar, so that the slide bar can be quickly reset under the action of the support spring, so that the upper end of the slide bar moves to the upper direction of the lower furnace body, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation for the staff.

The upper furnace body 11 is arranged on the lower furnace body 1, the water-cooling input pipe 2 is a circular tubular structure, and the water-cooling input pipe 2 is connected to the side wall of the lower furnace body 1. The water-cooling output pipe 21 is a circular tubular structure, and the water-cooling output pipe 21 is connected to the side wall of the lower furnace body 1. An insulation chamber 3 is arranged in the lower furnace body 1, and a moving groove 31 is opened on the inner wall of the insulation chamber 3. The slider 4 is a rectangular block structure, and the slider 4 is slidably arranged in the moving groove 31. The cleaning rod 41 is a rod-shaped structure, and the cleaning rod 41 is fixed to the side wall of the slider 4.

[0029] An annular groove 42 is provided through the upper surface of the lower furnace body 1. The driving assembly 5 is arranged on the lower furnace body 1 for driving the cleaning rod 41. The driving assembly 5 includes a driving rod 51 and a partition 52. The driving rod 51 is arranged on the upper surface of the cleaning plate 6. The driving rod 51 includes a placement rod 511 and a slide rod 512. The placement rod 511 is a rectangular rod-shaped structure.

Subsequently, when the staff needs to use the slide bar 512, the staff only needs to take out the partition 52 and quickly release the finger after pressing the slide bar 512, so that the slide bar 512 can be quickly reset under the action of the support spring 7, so that the upper end of the slide bar 512 moves to the upper direction of the lower furnace body 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation for the staff.

[0036] In order to improve the user experience of the staff, a placement groove 9 is opened on the upper surface of the partition 52 to reduce the difficulty of the staff to take out the partition 52.

[0037] The use principle of a single crystal furnace rapid cooling structure in this embodiment is as follows: when the staff needs to dissipate heat from the single crystal furnace, the staff needs to move the upper furnace body 11 upwards to separate the upper furnace body 11 from the lower furnace body 1, and connect the water cooling input pipe 2 and the water cooling output pipe 21 to the water cooling device, so that the water cooling device can inject cooling water into the insulation chamber 3, thereby rapidly cooling the lower furnace body 1. In long-term use, dirt such as scale, sediment and bacteria will accumulate on the inner wall of the insulation chamber 3, and the staff needs to regularly clean the insulation chamber 3. At this time, the staff needs to inject cleaning liquid into the water cooling input pipe 2 and start the driving assembly 5, so that the cleaning rod 41 can move along the extension direction of the moving groove 31, thereby making the cleaning rod 41, the cleaning liquid and the cleaning plate 6 cooperate with each other and clean the inner wall of the insulation chamber 3, thereby reducing the cleaning difficulty of the staff.
