Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal silicon purification equipment, and specifically relates to a mixed heating furnace for metal silicon purification. Background Technique

[0002] Metallic silicon is an artificial material. During the purification and manufacturing process of silicon, it is necessary to separate silicon from silicon compounds, and then further purify the separated silicon. The electric furnace smelting method utilizes the high heat generated by the electric furnace to electrolyze silicon ore, enabling silicon to react with carbon to form silicon dioxide and carbon dioxide, and then reducing silicon dioxide to metallic silicon through equipment.

[0003] When the existing mixed heating furnace for metal silicon purification heats and purifies silicon ore, it usually cools the outside of the furnace body by sending cold water into the pipes surrounding the outside of the furnace body, which makes the cooling rate of metallic silicon inside the furnace slower, is not conducive to the crystallization of silicon, and leads to a slower purification rate of silicon. In addition, after the existing mixed heating furnace reduces the temperature with cold water, the cold water that has absorbed heat will be transferred to the cooling box for cooling, which easily wastes the heat dissipated after the cold water absorbs heat. At the same time, the operation of the cooling box also requires energy consumption, and it is not energy-saving and environmentally friendly enough. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a mixed heating furnace for metal silicon purification to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In this mixed heating furnace for metal silicon purification, through the first cavity, the second cavity, the third cavity and the support plate, the metal silicon in the furnace can move up and down between the intermediate frequency furnace and the bottom cylinder for cooling during purification, so that the metal silicon in the furnace can be in an environment of sudden cooling and sudden heating, making the cooling rate of the metal silicon faster, and at the same time being more conducive to the crystallization and precipitation of the metal silicon, thus being beneficial to improving the purification speed of silicon.

[0023] As Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, the hybrid heating furnace for metal silicon purification in this embodiment includes a bottom cylinder 4. A first cavity 12 is formed inside the bottom cylinder 4, and a coolant 13 is filled inside the first cavity 12. A second cavity 15 is formed in the middle of the bottom cylinder 4, and a heat conduction cylinder 16 is embedded on the inner wall of the second cavity 15. An air duct 17 is formed at the bottom of the bottom cylinder 4, and a blower 9 is fixedly installed at the port of the air duct 17. The top end of the bottom cylinder 4 is fixedly installed with an intermediate frequency furnace shell 2. An induction coil 10 is installed inside the intermediate frequency furnace shell 2. A third cavity 19 is formed in the middle of the intermediate frequency furnace shell 2, and a material cylinder 3 is arranged inside the third cavity 19. A support plate 11 is engaged at the bottom end of the material cylinder 3. The top of the intermediate frequency furnace shell 2 is movably connected with a cover plate 1.

[0024] Specifically, the outer wall of the bottom cylinder 4 is made of a material with better heat insulation performance, so that the heat after the temperature of the coolant 13 rises will transfer to the heat conduction cylinder 16, enabling the heat to be concentrated in the air duct 17 and the second cavity 15, which is conducive to the blower 9 blowing the heat into the third cavity 19, enabling the silicon ore to be heated by a combination of induction eddy current and hot air, thus helping to reduce the energy consumption required for the intermediate frequency furnace to heat the silicon ore. The first cavity 12 is in a ring structure, surrounding the outer position inside the bottom cylinder 4, enabling the coolant 13 to surround the material cylinder 3, which is conducive to the heat conduction inside the material cylinder 3. The coolant 13 can rapidly cool the material cylinder 3 moved into the second cavity 15, enabling the silicon dioxide in the material cylinder 3 to crystallize faster. The role of the heat conduction cylinder 16 is to accelerate the heat conduction efficiency. The role of the air duct 17 is to enable the blower 9 to blow the hot air flow from the second cavity 15 into the third cavity 19, thus facilitating the hybrid heating of the silicon ore in the material cylinder 3. The principle of the intermediate frequency furnace heating metal silicon is to utilize the electromagnetic induction principle to cause eddy currents to be generated in the silicon metal inside the material cylinder 3, melting the silicon metal by heating. The role of the third cavity 19 is to enable the material cylinder 3 to move smoothly inside the intermediate frequency furnace, thus facilitating the heating and cooling of the raw materials in the material cylinder 3. The support plate 11 is also made of a material with a relatively high thermal conductivity and can conduct heat to the material cylinder 3 smoothly. The role of the cover plate 1 is to seal the top of the material cylinder 3, facilitating the circulation of heat inside the material cylinder 3, thereby being more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0025] Furthermore, a liquid inlet pipe 6 penetrates through the top of one side wall of the bottom cylinder 4, and a first electromagnetic valve 5 is fixedly installed on the outside of the liquid inlet pipe 6. The role of the liquid inlet pipe 6 is to supplement the coolant 13 into the first cavity 12 of the bottom cylinder 4, enabling the coolant 13 lost due to heating to be replenished in a timely manner.

[0026] Furthermore, a liquid discharge pipe 8 penetrates through the middle of the other side wall of the bottom cylinder 4, and a second electromagnetic valve 7 is fixedly installed on the outside of the liquid discharge pipe 8. Both the liquid inlet pipe 6 and the liquid discharge pipe 8 are communicated with the inside of the first cavity 12. The role of the liquid discharge pipe 8 is to facilitate the replacement of the coolant 13 in the first cavity 12 and ensure that the coolant 13 can produce a normal cooling effect.

[0027] Furthermore, a hydraulic cylinder 18 is fixedly installed in the middle of the air duct 17. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 18 is movably connected to a piston rod 14. The function of the hydraulic cylinder 18 is to support the pallet 11 through the piston rod 14, so that the pallet 11 can support the material cylinder 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the top end of the piston rod 14 is snap-connected to the bottom end of the pallet 11. The pallet 11 is movably connected to the second cavity 15 and the third cavity 19 respectively through the piston rod 14. The outer edge of the pallet 11 is upturned, so that the material cylinder 3 can be snap-fitted on the pallet 11, thereby increasing the stability after the connection between the material cylinder 3 and the pallet 11.

[0029] Furthermore, the material cylinder 3 is movably connected to the second cavity 15 and the third cavity 19 respectively through the pallet 11, so that the material cylinder 3 can slide up and down in the second cavity 15 and the third cavity 19, which is conducive to realizing the heating and cooling of the material cylinder 3.

[0030] Furthermore, the second cavity 15 and the third cavity 19 are connected. The air duct 17 is connected to the second cavity 15, so that the air flow blown by the fan 9 can drive the heat in the second cavity 15 to accelerate and flow into the third cavity 19, thereby realizing the mixed heating of the material cylinder 3 in the third cavity 19.

[0031] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: Before using this mixed heating furnace for metal silicon purification, it is necessary to first connect this heating furnace to an external power supply, then open the cover plate 1, introduce the silicon ore to be purified into the opening at the top of the material cylinder 3, then close the cover plate 1, and energize the induction coil 10, so that eddy currents are generated in the metal silicon in the material cylinder 3, and the metal silicon starts to heat up. When the metal silicon in the material cylinder 3 needs to be cooled, the hydraulic cylinder 18 can be started, so that the hydraulic cylinder 18 drives the piston rod 14 to descend, driving the pallet 11 to descend, so that the material cylinder 3 at the top of the pallet 11 descends from the third cavity 19 into the second cavity 15. At this time, since the metal silicon in the material cylinder 3 is separated from the intermediate frequency furnace, no eddy currents are generated in the metal silicon in the material cylinder 3. At the same time, since the periphery of the second cavity 15 is filled with low-temperature coolant 13, the metal silicon in the material cylinder 3 quickly conducts heat to the coolant 13 in the first cavity 12 through the heat conduction cylinder 16, so that the temperature of the coolant 13 rises, and at the same time the temperature of the material cylinder 3 drops. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 18 can be controlled to rise, so that the material cylinder 3 returns to the intermediate frequency furnace for heating again, and the temperature in the second cavity 15 will drop, so that the heated coolant 13 conducts heat to the second cavity 15 through the heat conduction cylinder 16. Then, the fan 9 can be started, so that the fan 9 blows the heat in the second cavity 15 to the third cavity 19 through the air duct 17, so that the heat is concentrated at the bottom of the pallet 11, so that the material cylinder 3 that returns to the third cavity 19 can obtain the heat conducted by the intermediate frequency furnace and hot air at the same time, so that the material cylinder 3 can be heated in a mixed heating mode.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
