[0002] The LBO crystal, whose full name is "lithium triborate", is a non-linear optical crystal with excellent performance. It has the characteristics of good ultraviolet light transmittance, relatively high optical damage threshold, and moderate non-linear coefficient. In addition, this crystal has stable chemical properties, high mechanical hardness, and is easy to deliquesce, making it very attractive for certain non-linear optical processing.

[0003] The existing molten salt furnaces have large and bulky structures, and cannot perform short-distance lifting adjustment on the crystals inside the molten salt furnace, resulting in poor temperature control of the crystals and a poor annealing environment for the crystals. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a molten salt furnace for LBO crystal annealing, which can effectively solve the problem that the seed crystal rod inside the molten salt furnace cannot be adjusted for short-distance lifting.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A molten salt furnace for LBO crystal annealing includes a furnace body. The inner surface of the furnace body is fixedly connected with a heat preservation component. A heating mechanism is installed in the middle of the heat preservation component. The upper middle part of the outer surface of the furnace body is fixedly connected with an electric telescopic rod.

The lower part of the outer surface of the connecting column is fixedly connected with a bearing mechanism. The upper part of the bearing mechanism is fixedly connected with a protection mechanism. The left and right parts of the upper end of the outer surface of the furnace body are symmetrically provided with chutes communicating with the outside. The inner cavities of the two chutes are jointly slidably connected with a sealing mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the heat preservation component includes two heat preservation layers, and a closed annular chamber is arranged in the middle of the two heat preservation layers.

[0008] Preferably, the heating mechanism includes a plurality of heating tubes, and a plurality of connecting frames are fixedly connected at intervals between the plurality of heating tubes.

[0009] Preferably, the bearing mechanism includes a heat conduction box. The middle part of the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the heat conduction box is fixedly connected with a fixed sleeve, and the inner surface of the fixed sleeve is fixedly connected with the lower part of the outer surface of the connecting column.

[0010] Preferably, the protective mechanism includes two fixed card shells, the inner surfaces of the two fixed card shells are slidably connected with fan-shaped covers, the upper ends of the outer surfaces of the two fan-shaped covers are provided with circular through grooves communicating with the outside world, and the sides of the outer surfaces of the two fixed card shells that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer surface of the fixed sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing mechanism comprises a sealing cover, a handle is symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer surface of the sealing cover, and the lower part of the outer surface of the sealing cover is slidably connected to the inner cavities of the two slide grooves.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The utility model can heat and insulate the inner cavity of the furnace body through the insulation component and the heating mechanism, and can carry the seed crystal rod through the bearing mechanism. Under the protective effect of the protective mechanism, the seed crystal rod placed inside the bearing mechanism can be prevented from being disturbed during the lifting process driven by the electric telescopic rod.

[0014] 2. The utility model can insert the seed crystal rod into the inner cavity of the heat-conducting box through the heat-conducting box. Before heating the heat-conducting box, the circular through-groove inner cavity can be moved by a tool to make the fan-shaped cover rotate out from the corresponding fixed card shell inner cavity, so that the two fan-shaped covers and the two fixed card shells can cover the upper part of the heat-conducting box, avoiding the phenomenon that the seed crystal rod in the inner cavity of the heat-conducting box is disturbed during the lifting and lowering of the heat-conducting box, thereby improving the practicality and universality of the device.
