Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of quartz crucible melting, in particular to a device for folding the copper plate of the electrode seat for quartz crucible melting in half. Background Art
[0002] The copper plate of the electrode seat for quartz crucible melting is an important part in the single crystal silicon growth process of semiconductor material manufacturing and solar panel production. In this process, the quartz crucible is used to hold and melt high-purity silicon raw materials, while the copper plate of the electrode seat is a key component for conducting current and heating the quartz crucible to melt the silicon raw materials; the copper plate of the electrode seat is usually made of copper or copper alloy with good electrical conductivity and high temperature resistance, and they are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and currents to ensure a uniform thermal field inside the quartz crucible. The copper plate of the electrode seat conducts current into the quartz crucible through connection with an external power supply, heating the silicon raw materials in the crucible to reach the melting point.
[0003] To avoid the risk of short circuit and burnout caused by chaotic wiring, before assembling and using the copper plate of the electrode seat, some factories will use a manual bending machine to bend the copper plate of the electrode seat. By folding the copper plates in half with each other, the current can be effectively dispersed and hot spots can be reduced, thus making the equipment run more smoothly and reducing the probability of equipment damage. However, when using a manual bending machine, the operator needs to manually adjust and control the bending machine, and control the bending angle and strength through a manual lever or knob. This usually requires the operator's experience and judgment to ensure the accuracy of bending, which will lead to low bending efficiency to a certain extent. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Embodiment: A quartz crucible melting electrode seat copper plate folding device, as Figures 1-9 shown, including a support base 1, a feeding table 2, a material box 3, a pushing assembly, a bending assembly and a clamping assembly. The support base 1 is a component installation carrier. A feeding table 2 is arranged on the top of the support base 1, which is responsible for carrying and providing a transmission path for the electrode seat copper plate. A material box 3 is arranged on the left side of the top of the feeding table 2, which is used to store the electrode seat copper plates to be bent, leaving a certain gap with the top of the feeding table 2 to facilitate the automatic feeding of a single copper plate. There is a certain distance interval between the bottom of the material box 3 and the top of the feeding table 2. Pushing assemblies are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the feeding table 2, a bending assembly is arranged at the lower right part of the feeding table 2, and a clamping assembly is arranged inside the pushing assembly.
[0030] As Figures 1-9 shown, the pushing assembly includes: an electric slide rail 4, a pushing block 5, a wedge block 51 and a spring 52. Electric slide rails 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the feeding table 2. Pushing blocks 5 are slidably arranged on both sides of the electric slide rails 4, which are used to drive the pushing blocks 5 to slide along them. The inner upper parts of the two pushing blocks 5 close to each other are slidably connected to both sides of the feeding table 2. Wedge blocks 51 are slidably arranged inside the pushing blocks 5, which are used to push the copper plate by contacting with the electrode seat copper plate. A spring 52 is arranged between the wedge block 51 and the pushing block 5 to provide a reset force to ensure that the wedge block 51 can automatically retract when the pushing block 5 resets.
[0031] As Figures 1-2 and Figures 6-9 shown, the bending assembly includes: a mounting plate 6, a bracket 7, a cover box 8, a connecting plate 81, a motor 9, a gear 91, a toothed ring 92 and a bending rod 93. A mounting plate 6 is fixedly arranged at the rear side of the bottom of the feeding table 2. A bracket 7 is arranged on the right side of the top of the mounting plate 6. A cover box 8 is arranged on the top of the bracket 7. A connecting plate 81 is arranged at the center position on the left side inside the cover box 8. A motor 9 is installed on the right side inside the cover box 8 through a mounting seat. A gear 91 is rotatably arranged at the output end of the motor 9. The toothed ring 92 is rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting plate 81. The toothed ring 92 is rotatably meshed with the adjacent gear 91. A bending rod 93 is arranged on the left side of the toothed ring 92. Through the transmission of the gear 91 and the toothed ring 92, the bending rod 93 is driven to rotate, accurately controlling the bending angle and strength to ensure the bending accuracy of the electrode seat copper plate.
[0032] As Figures 1-2 and Figures 6-9As shown, the clamping assembly includes a guide rod 94, a bidirectional screw 95, clamping blocks 96, and a knob 97. A guide rod 94 is provided on the right side at the top of the mounting plate 6. The guide rod 94 vertically penetrates the inside of the bracket 7, and the top end of the guide rod 94 extends out of the top right side of the cover box 8. A bidirectional screw 95 is provided on the left side at the top of the mounting plate 6. The guide rod 94 and the bidirectional screw 95 are arranged at the same parallel height. Clamping blocks 96 are provided between the upper and lower sides of the guide rod 94 and the bidirectional screw 95. The two clamping blocks 96 are arranged oppositely. The right sides of the two clamping blocks 96 are slidably connected to the guide rod 94, and the left sides of the two clamping blocks 96 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 95. The two clamping blocks 96 are both in sliding contact with the middle part inside the connecting plate 81. A knob 97 is provided at the top of the bidirectional screw 95. The adjustment function of the knob 97 allows the operator to rotate the bidirectional screw 95 according to different sizes and material characteristics of the copper plates of the electrode holder, and the two clamping blocks 96 can slide along the guide rod 94 to achieve precise clamping of the copper plates of the electrode holder.
[0033] As Figures 1-9 shown, it further includes an anti-slip pad 98. Anti-slip pads 98 are provided at the ends of the two clamping blocks 96 close to each other. The end faces of the clamping blocks are equipped with high-friction rubber pads to prevent the copper plates from slipping during the clamping process and at the same time protect the surface of the copper plates from being scratched.
[0034] As Figures 1-2 and Figures 6-8 shown, it further includes a protective cover 10. A protective cover 10 is provided at the top of the guide rod 94. During the bending process of the copper plates of the electrode holder, the protective cover covers the bending rod throughout the process, effectively avoiding accidental injuries and ensuring operation safety.
[0035] As Figures 1-2 shown, it further includes a controller 11. A controller 11 is provided on one side of the material box 3. The controller 11 is electrically connected to both the motor 9 and the electric slide rail 4.
[0036] During use, stack the specified number of copper plates of the electrode holder to be bent in the material box 3. After placement, the copper plate of the electrode holder at the bottom will directly contact the surface of the feeding table 2, and the distance between the bottom of the material box 3 and the surface of the feeding table 2 is based on the height of one copper plate of the electrode holder and can fit properly. At this time, the preliminary preparatory work is completed. Subsequently, start the electric slide rails 4 on both sides. The electric slide rails 4 drive the pushing block 5 to slide backward. The wedge-shaped block 51 on the upper part of the pushing block 5 will contact the copper plate of the electrode holder at the bottom. While the pushing block 5 is in a sliding state, it will also push the copper plate of the electrode holder. When the middle and rear parts of the copper plate of the electrode holder have been pushed between the two clamping blocks 96, the next copper plate of the electrode holder will fall to contact the surface of the feeding table 2, thus completing the conveying operation of a single copper plate of the electrode holder;
[0037] At this time, turn the knob 97 clockwise to drive the bidirectional screw rod 95 to rotate, so that the clamping blocks 96 on both sides approach each other along the guide rods 94, clamp the copper plate of the electrode seat, and stabilize the copper plate of the electrode seat to provide assistance for the subsequent bending operation. After the clamping is completed, stop turning the knob 97 and start the motor 9 to drive the gear 91 to rotate counterclockwise. While the gear 91 rotates, it meshes with the adjacent toothed ring 92 and rotates. The rotating toothed ring 92 will drive the bending rod 93 provided thereon to rotate. When the bending rod 93 rotates counterclockwise and touches the bottom of the clamped copper plate of the electrode seat, the continuously rotating gear 91 will continue to drive the toothed ring 92 to rotate meshingly with it, and the bending rod 93 can strongly resist the bottom of the copper plate of the electrode seat. While resisting, the bending rod 93 is still in a rotating state, so the bottom of the copper plate of the electrode seat is lifted to cause bending. Along with the continuously rotating bending rod 93, the copper plate of the electrode seat fully contacts the bending rod 93 and is completely bent under the action of the contact force until the bending rod 93 rotates from the toothed ring 92 to cancel contact with the copper plate of the electrode seat, and the bending operation of the copper plate of the electrode seat is completed. When it is necessary to perform a bending operation on the next copper plate of the electrode seat, control the electric slide rails 4 on both sides to drive the pushing blocks 5 on both sides to reset. During the sliding reset process of the pushing block 5, the inclined surface end of the wedge block 51 will contact both ends of the next copper plate of the electrode seat. Along with the contact, the wedge block 51 slides into the pushing block 5, causing the spring 52 to be squeezed by the wedge block 51 and undergo compressive deformation. After the pushing block 5 is completely reset to the initial most forward position, the wedge block 51 no longer contacts the copper plate of the electrode seat. At this time, the spring 52 is not stressed and self-expands and resets, driving the wedge block 51 to reset. After the wedge block 51 resets, repeat the above operations to complete the conveying operation of the next copper plate of the electrode seat.
[0038] And when the copper plate of the electrode seat is bent, the protective cover 10 can shield and protect the bending rod during the operation to avoid special situations and threaten personal safety. When the clamping block 96 clamps the copper plate of the electrode seat, the rubber gasket on its end face has a stronger supporting force, which can prevent the copper plate of the electrode seat from slipping during the clamping process and avoid scratching the copper plate of the electrode seat. Since there is an electrical connection between the controller 11 and the motor 9 and the electric slide rail 4, the motor 9 and the electric slide rail 4 can be directly controlled to start through the controller 11 to make the bending and conveying operations more convenient.
[0039] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
