Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of single crystal furnace equipment cleaning, in particular to a convenient single crystal furnace auxiliary chamber cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] The cleaning device for the auxiliary chamber of a single crystal furnace is a supporting structure for cleaning the equipment of a single crystal furnace. In the photovoltaic field, a vertical pulling single crystal furnace is used to produce single crystal silicon rods. The vertical pulling single crystal furnace includes a main furnace chamber and an auxiliary furnace chamber. The main furnace chamber melts the polysilicon material, and after forming single crystal silicon, it gradually grows under the lifting device of the auxiliary furnace chamber. In the process of pulling single crystal silicon, the flowing argon gas not only serves as a protective gas, but also carries volatiles to move, causing the volatiles to be deposited on the inner wall of the auxiliary furnace chamber during the movement, which makes cleaning more complicated. The existing cleaning device for the auxiliary chamber of a single crystal furnace is a long rod connected to a ring, and the cleaning is performed by wrapping multiple layers of dust-free paper soaked in anhydrous ethanol on the ring. During the cleaning process of the auxiliary chamber, the operator needs to extend the long rod of the auxiliary chamber into the auxiliary chamber of the single crystal furnace, and clean it by pushing and pulling the long rod up and down. With the continuous development of science and technology, people have higher and higher requirements for the manufacturing process of the cleaning device for the auxiliary chamber of the single crystal furnace.

[0003] The existing single crystal furnace auxiliary chamber cleaning device has certain drawbacks when in use. Since the cleaning head of the existing auxiliary chamber cleaning rod is the same size as the auxiliary chamber, it comes into close contact with the auxiliary chamber as soon as it enters the auxiliary chamber. When in use, it extends into the auxiliary chamber from bottom to top, causing volatiles to be accumulated on the top of the auxiliary chamber, failing to achieve a good auxiliary chamber cleaning effect. During the crystal pulling process, volatiles are easy to fall into the molten silicon liquid, causing the crystal rod to break and affecting the crystal formation rate. Because the dust-free paper on the ring needs to be replaced before each cleaning, the reuse rate is low, which brings certain adverse effects to the actual use process. For this reason, we propose a convenient single crystal furnace auxiliary chamber cleaning device. Utility Model Content
