Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a crucible lifting device for a single crystal furnace, belonging to the technical field of single crystal furnaces. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the up and down movement of the crucible in a single crystal furnace, that is, the crucible lifting assembly, generally adopts a column sliding table structure. Specifically, two linear guide pairs are fixed on one side of the column, and sliders are fixed on the crucible sliding seat. The relative movement between the sliders and the guide rails is used to realize the up and down movement of the crucible. The problems existing in this structure are as follows: The center of gravity of the crucible is arranged on one side of the column, which will generate a large overturning moment. In order to avoid the structural deformation caused by the moment and affect the up and down movement accuracy, only the rigid design of the column can be strengthened. The above problems directly lead to the increase of material and manufacturing costs, and the assembly steps are very complex.

[0003] With the gradual decline in the market demand for the number of single crystal furnaces, it is necessary to control the cost of single crystal furnace products, reduce costs on the premise of ensuring reliable performance, and improve the degree of automation. The crucible lifting assembly is one of the most important component devices of a single crystal furnace and is the basic guarantee for the stable liquid level during crystal pulling. How to reduce costs on the premise of ensuring the lifting stability of the crucible is an important research and development direction in recent years. Summary of the Utility Model

Among them, the magnetorheological fluid connecting the crucible is fixed at the center of the moving slide. A number of linear bearings are evenly embedded in the moving slide, and a guide rod is inserted through each linear bearing. The upper and lower ends of all the guide rods are respectively connected to the same upper connection plate and the same lower connection plate. The moving slide is also connected to a lead screw nut, and the lead screw nut is installed on the driving lead screw. The upper end of the driving lead screw is fixed on the upper connection plate through a lead screw support, and the lower end of the driving lead screw is connected to the output end of the lead screw rotating drive motor fixed on the lower connection plate. The lead screw rotating drive motor drives the driving lead screw to rotate, the lead screw nut moves up and down, the lead screw nut is fixed on the moving slide, and the moving slide carries the crucible up and down. The guide rod plays a role of support and guidance. The linear bearings embedded in the moving slide and the guide rod can ensure smooth and stable up and down movement and have good overall rigidity.

[0006] Preferably, three linear bearings are symmetrically embedded in the moving slide with the magnetorheological fluid as the center. This structure can meet the requirements of structural stability.

[0007] Preferably, the lower connecting plate is fixed to the foundation through threaded holes, which can further ensure the structural stability.

[0008] Advantages of the present utility model: The structural design is simple and reasonable, which can effectively reduce costs and ensure the stability of decoupling. By using three guide rods and linear bearings to form a sliding pair, a stable support platform is constituted, which can carry a 2T crucible. The center of mass of the load is designed at the center of the three support rods, and the platform is stressed reasonably, so the movement of the crucible load is safe and stable. It can effectively reduce the time for assembly and adjustment progress and improve production efficiency. Brief Description of the Drawings
