DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application; obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a window structure of a single crystal furnace cover, including a furnace cover 1, a window platform 11, a fixing plate 21, a fixing cap 3, a first sealing ring 31, a first quartz lens 4, a barrier assembly 5, a blocking plate 61, a rubber plug 7 and a silicone pad 8. The window platform 11 is arranged on the furnace cover 1, and an observation through hole 2 is arranged on the window platform 11. The fixing plate 21 is a sheet structure, and the fixing plate 21 is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the window platform 11. The fixing cap 3 is fixed on the upper surface of the fixing plate 21, and a first observation hole 41 is opened on the fixing cap 3. The first sealing ring 31 is arranged on the upper surface of the window platform 11, and is used to improve the airtightness of the device, and the first quartz lens 4 is arranged on the upper surface of the first sealing ring 31.
[0031] The fixing cap 3 is provided with a first observation hole 41. The barrier assembly 5 is arranged on the window platform 11 to protect the first quartz lens 4. The barrier assembly 5 includes a barrier sheet 51, a connecting cap 52, an annular rod 53, a second sealing ring 54 and a second quartz lens 55. The barrier sheet 51 is a sheet-like structure, and the barrier sheet 51 is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the window platform 11. The connecting cap 52 is fixed to the upper surface of the barrier sheet 51. The annular rod 53 is a rod-like structure with a circular cross section, and the annular rod 53 is arranged on the upper surface of the window platform 11. The second sealing ring 54 is arranged on the upper surface of the annular rod 53, and the second quartz lens 55 is arranged on the second sealing ring 54, and the connecting cap 52 is provided with a second observation hole 6.
[0032] When the window of the furnace cover 1 is subjected to long-term radiation heating, the second quartz lens 55 may crack, and the staff needs to replace the second quartz lens 55. At this time, the staff only needs to rotate the connecting cap 52 to separate the barrier sheet 51 from the window platform 11, and then remove the connecting cap 52. Afterwards, the staff only needs to remove the second quartz lens 55 and replace the lens, and then observe through the second observation hole 6 again. In addition, during this process, if the staff does not have new accessories at hand, the staff can observe through the first observation hole 41, thereby improving the staff's use experience.
[0033] The blocking sheet 61 is a sheet structure with a circular cross section, and two blocking sheets 61 are provided and are respectively arranged on the inner wall and the outer wall of the annular rod 53, and are used to block the second sealing ring 54. The blocking sheet 61 reduces the difficulty of the staff to install the second sealing ring 54, thereby improving the staff's use experience.
[0034] In order to improve the stability of the device, the inner diameter of the annular rod 53 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second sealing ring 54, and the outer diameter of the annular rod 53 is larger than the outer diameter of the second sealing ring 54. This arrangement reduces the probability that the second sealing ring 54 expands and presses against the blocking sheet 61 after the worker installs the connecting cap 52, thereby reducing the probability of the blocking sheet 61 being damaged, thereby improving the stability of the device.
[0035] In order to improve the user experience of the staff, a rubber plug 7 for closing the second observation hole 6 is provided on the second observation hole 6. When the staff does not need to use the second observation hole 6, the staff only needs to connect the rubber plug 7 with the second observation hole 6 to make the rubber plug 7 close the second observation hole 6, thereby reducing the probability of dust entering the second observation hole 6, thereby improving the user experience of the staff.
[0036] In order to improve the user experience of the staff, a silicone pad 8 is provided on the upper surface of the connection cap 52. When the staff uses the second observation hole 6, the silicone pad 8 supports the eye socket of the staff, thereby alleviating the pain of the staff and improving the user experience of the staff.
[0037] In order to reduce the difficulty for the staff to rotate the connecting cap 52, the upper end of the connecting cap 52 is provided with anti-slip grooves 9 for improving the use experience of the staff, and the connecting cap 52 is made of PC.
[0038] The use principle of the window structure of the furnace cover 1 of a single crystal furnace in this embodiment is as follows: when the window of the furnace cover 1 is subjected to long-term radiation heating, the quartz lens may crack. When the second quartz lens 55 on the barrier component 5 is damaged, the staff only needs to rotate the connection cap 52 to remove the connection cap 52, thereby facilitating the staff to replace the second quartz lens 55. At this time, the staff can continue to observe through the first quartz lens 4, thereby reducing the probability of vacuum failure in the growth furnace and improving the staff's use experience.
[0039] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
