[0024] Example 1

[0025] Embodiment 1 of the utility model is a horizontal and centering detection device for the thermal field of a single crystal furnace, comprising a horizontal centering ruler 1 and a horizontal level bubble 2 located inside the centering ruler 1, wherein the center of the centering ruler 1 is movably connected to a measuring ruler 3, and a slidable buckle 4 is provided on the periphery of the measuring ruler 3, and the buckle 4 is equipped with a measuring rod 5, and the measuring rod 5 rotates around the center of the centering ruler 1 with the measuring ruler 3 to draw a circle.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the present application, a horizontal level bubble 2 is provided on the surface of the centering ruler 1, and the ruler 3 movably connected to the center of the centering ruler 1 drives the buckle 4 to slide on the periphery of the ruler 3, and the distance between the measuring rod 5 and the center of the centering ruler 1 is adjusted. The radius formed by the measuring rod 5 and the center is half of the inner diameter of the thermal field to be measured at this time for centering detection. The assembly between the measuring rod 5 and the ruler 3 can adapt to thermal fields of various specifications.

[0027] The thermal field to be measured includes a heat preservation tube or a main heater, etc., but is not limited thereto. First, place the centering ruler 1 on the top of the thermal field to be measured, and observe whether the bubble in the level bubble 2 is in the center position. When the thermal field to be measured is not in the horizontal position, adjust the thermal field to be measured so that the bubble in the level bubble is in the horizontal position. Then, the measuring rod 5, under the action of the buckle 4 and the ruler 3, performs a circle centering detection as the ruler 3 rotates in the centering ruler 1, and timely adjusts the detected centering deviation.

[0028] In order to realize that the buckle 4 drives the measuring rod 5 to slide in the ruler 3, the buckle 4 includes a first assembly groove 40, and the ruler 3 is located in the first assembly groove 40 and is fixed by a locking screw 6. The buckle 4 is also provided with a second assembly groove 41, and the top and bottom of the second assembly groove 41 are respectively provided with corresponding through holes 42 and screw holes 43, and the measuring rod 5 passes through the through holes 42 and screw holes 43 in sequence and is threadedly connected with the screw holes 43. The height of the second assembly groove 41 is less than the height of the first assembly groove 40.

[0029] When the ruler 3 passes through the first assembly slot 40 and the buckle 4 moves to the distance to be detected, the locking screw 6 arranged on the side of the buckle 4 is tightened so that the inner end of the locking screw 6 is in close contact with the side of the ruler 3 for limit fixation to prevent the measuring rod 5 from being displaced during the circle detection and causing inaccurate detection.

[0030] Specifically, the measuring rod 5 is assembled so that its end passes through the through hole 42 and the screw hole 43 in sequence, and an external thread is provided on the periphery where the measuring rod 5 contacts the screw hole 43 to fix the assembly position of the measuring rod 5 in the buckle 4 and improve the assembly stability.

[0031] In some preferred embodiments, the surface of the centering ruler 1 is concave downward to form a groove 10, and the level vial 2 is located in the groove 10. The number of the level vials 2 is two and they are symmetrically arranged.

[0032] There are two grooves 10 which are symmetrically arranged at the center of the centering ruler 1. The surfaces of the two level bubbles 2 are on a horizontal plane for detecting and adjusting the levelness of the thermal field to be measured, thereby improving the detection effect of the levelness.

[0033] In some preferred embodiments, the surface of the ruler 3 is provided with scale lines 30, the end of the ruler 3 is connected to the center of the centering ruler 1 through a connecting rod 7, and the starting end of the scale lines 30 is adjacent to the connecting rod 7. A display slot 44 for observing the scale lines 30 is provided at the top of the buckle 4.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 The display slot 44 is divided into two parts, one part displays millimeter scale marks, and the other part displays centimeter data, and accurate measurement is performed through the display slot 44. A scale line 30 is set on the surface of the ruler 3, which is used to slide the buckle 4 to the position of the inner wall of the thermal field to be measured. This scale distance is used as a reference and displayed through the display slot 44. Then the ruler 3 is rotated to observe the relationship between the measuring rod 5 and the inner wall of the thermal field to be measured. If the outer peripheral surface of the measuring rod 5 does not contact the thermal field to be measured, the centering position of the thermal field to be measured is directly adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the measuring rod 5 is used for secondary detection to improve the accuracy of the centering detection.

[0035] Since the thermal field is mostly made of carbon-carbon material, in order to avoid metal contamination of the inner wall of the thermal field during the circle-drawing correction process of the measuring rod 5, the measuring rod 5 is made of carbon-carbon material to improve the quality of crystal pulling.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments, the centering ruler 1, buckle 4 and measuring ruler 3 are made of aluminum alloy, and the connecting rod 7 is made of stainless steel. The centering ruler 1 and measuring ruler 3 are hollow inside. The aluminum alloy and stainless steel materials can reduce the processing cost, and the hollow inside can make the device as a whole convenient, lightweight and easy to operate.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, first overlap the centering ruler 1 in the diameter direction of the top of the thermal field to be measured (insulation tube or main heater, etc.), observe whether the horizontal level bubble 2 is in the center, if not in the center, adjust the thermal field to be measured until the horizontal level bubble 2 is in the center position, slide the buckle 4, make the spacing between the measuring rod 5 and the connecting rod 7 match with half the inner diameter of the thermal field to be measured, tighten the locking screw 6 to fix the position of the ruler 3 in the buckle 4, and then rotate the ruler 3 to make the measuring rod 5 perform a circle centering detection on the thermal field to be measured, when deviation occurs, directly adjust the centering and deflection of the thermal field to be measured, and finally perform a secondary correction on the measuring rod 5 to meet the alignment requirements, confirm whether the thermal field is horizontal and adjust the alignment through the horizontal level bubble 2, the ruler 3 and the measuring rod 5, and then close the furnace after confirmation. The utility model detects the horizontal condition of the entire thermal field by assembling a horizontal bubble 2 on the centering ruler 1, and assembling a measuring rod 5 with the ruler 3 through a buckle 4. The ruler 3 rotates above the centering ruler 1, so that the measuring rod 5 rotates to detect the centering condition of the thermal field, and directly adjusts the thermal field to be measured. The adjustment is convenient and the device cost is low. At the same time, the measuring rod 5 made of carbon-carbon material prevents metal contamination of the thermal field to be measured, avoids subsequent abnormal crystal pulling, improves the crystal formation rate, reduces the accident rate, and reduces the crystal pulling cost.

[0039] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and does not limit the utility model in any form. According to the technical essence of the utility model, within the spirit and principles of the utility model, any simple modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made to the above embodiment still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
