[0002] The cold hydrogeneration process is an important step in the current production of crystalline silicon materials, and the cold hydrogeneration fluidized bed reactor is the core equipment of this process. The mixed gas of silicon tetrachloride and hydrogen is heated to a certain temperature and then enters the fluidized bed to fluidize industrial silicon powder for reaction to produce trichlorosilane. In the existing process, silicon powder mixed with a certain proportion of catalyst is intermittently supplemented into the fluidized bed through an inserted feeding pipeline to balance the reaction consumption. Supplying silicon powder through the inserted feeding pipeline is the current mainstream method, but the silicon powder cannot be evenly dispersed in the fluidized bed in time, which affects the fluidization of silicon powder and the product yield; if the silicon powder is too concentrated and not dispersed, it will even cause phenomena such as silicon powder bridging and bed dropping, affecting production.

[0026] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the silicon powder feeding device of the cold hydrogenation fluidized bed reactor of the present utility model includes a cold hydrogenation fluidized bed reactor 1, a silicon powder feeding pipeline 2, and a silicon powder feeding disperser 3.
[0027] Among them, the silicon powder feeding pipeline 2 penetrates through the side wall of the cold hydrogenation fluidized bed reactor 1, the outer end is connected to an external silicon powder feeding mechanism, and the inner end is arranged inside the cold hydrogenation fluidized bed reactor 1; the silicon powder feeding disperser 3 includes a metal ball and a metal rod, and the metal ball is welded to the outlet at the inner end of the silicon powder feeding pipeline 2 through the metal rod.
[0028] Among them, the metal rod is bent so that the metal ball is located at the outlet of the inner end of the silicon powder feeding pipeline 2, and the silicon powder entering the cold hydrogenation fluidized bed reactor 1 from the outlet of the silicon powder feeding pipeline 2 can impact on the metal ball.
[0029] In this embodiment, the silicon powder feeding pipeline 2 is inclined, and the angle with the side wall of the cold hydrogenation fluidized bed reactor 1 is 60°.
[0030] In this embodiment, the ratio between the pipe diameter (inner diameter of the pipe) of the silicon powder feeding pipeline 2 and the outer diameter (diameter) of the metal ball is 1:1.
[0031] In this embodiment, the distance between the metal ball and the outlet at the inner end of the silicon powder feeding pipeline 2 does not exceed 100 mm.
[0032] In this embodiment, the metal rod is connected to an external static grounding wire 6 to eliminate the static electricity generated by the friction of the metal ball.
[0033] In this embodiment, both the metal ball and the metal rod are of hollow structure.
[0034] In this embodiment, a thermal electrode 9 is arranged inside the metal ball. The thermal electrode 9 is connected to an external thermocouple monitoring device by a wire 5 passing through the metal rod, and is used to monitor the temperature change inside the metal ball.
[0035] In this embodiment, an optical fiber probe 8 is arranged inside the metal ball. The optical fiber probe 8 is connected to an external optical fiber probe monitoring device 7 by an optical fiber 4 passing through the metal rod, and is used to monitor the powder stacking state.
[0036] In this embodiment, the thermal electrode and the optical fiber probe are located on the back of the contact surface between the metal ball of the feeding and dispersing device and the silicon powder, so as to avoid damage to the components caused by the friction of the silicon powder.
[0037] During use, the silicon powder enters the cold hydrofluorination fluidized bed reactor 1 through the silicon powder feeding pipeline 2. With a certain initial velocity, it will continue to move downward and forward, hitting the metal ball to achieve the dispersion of the silicon powder. The spherical shape has uniform stress and can better disperse the silicon powder. The wear-resistant material on the surface of the metal ball ensures its long-term operation without being worn. The bent metal rod is welded to the feeding pipeline, which is simple and applicable to various feeding pipelines. The silicon powder feeding and dispersing device is integrally formed to ensure that its stress will not be overly concentrated and it will not be deformed or damaged during long-term operation. The metal rod is inserted into the fluidized bed from the outside. The inside of the metal ball and the metal rod is hollow to introduce the thermal electrode 9 and the optical fiber probe 8. Their functions are as follows: monitor the temperature distribution around the feeding port through the thermocouple, judge whether the feeding is smooth and whether there is a blockage phenomenon around the feeding port according to the temperature. Monitor the fluidized bed operation parameters such as the bed layer distribution, bubble diameter, and solid content around the feeding port through the optical fiber probe, judge whether the bed layer is in a good fluidization state, and adjust the feeding form in time. The thermal electrode 9 is connected to an external junction box to realize temperature measurement. The optical fiber probe 8 is connected to a computer through an optical fiber to monitor and analyze the feeding and bed layer parameters in the fluidized bed in real time. The friction between the silicon powder and the metal ball of the feeding and dispersing device is likely to generate static electricity, which can be eliminated by the static grounding module connected to the outside of the metal rod.
[0038] Through this feeding device, the rapid dispersion of the silicon powder into the fluidized bed can be realized, and the influence on the fluidization of the silicon powder in the fluidized bed can be reduced; the bed layer stability and product yield are increased, and the operation cycle is prolonged. Real-time monitoring of the fluidized bed feeding temperature, fluidized bed operation parameters such as the bed layer distribution, bubble diameter, and solid content around the feeding port helps to optimize and adjust various operation parameters. This device has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and is applicable to various cold hydrofluorination fluidized beds.

Each component not clearly defined in this embodiment can be realized by the prior art.
