Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic thermal fields, and particularly to a crucible shaft and a single crystal furnace. Background Art

[0002] The existing crucible shaft in the photovoltaic thermal field is made of isostatic graphite material. To ensure the support strength, it is basically integrally formed. According to the characteristics of graphite processing, a whole graphite round blank needs to be milled out; although some enterprises make it in an upper and lower split form to reduce the manufacturing cost, its service life is not satisfactory. Therefore, if the support strength is sufficient, the cost is high, and if it is made into a split structure, the service life does not meet the standard.

[0003] Problems existing in the prior art are as follows:

[0004] 1. High manufacturing cost;

[0005] 2. Weak support strength and unable to meet the feeding amount of the existing photovoltaic thermal field;

[0006] 3. Short service life, and it is basically compulsorily scrapped every three months. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a crucible shaft which can ensure the support strength and increase the service life on the basis of reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0008] Another purpose of the utility model is to provide a single crystal silicon which can optimize the structure of the crucible shaft, ensure its support strength and increase the service life on the basis of reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0009] The technical solution of the utility model is realized as follows:

[0010] A crucible shaft rotates clockwise during operation. The crucible shaft includes a split bowl and a rod shaft. The bowl is arranged at the top of the rod shaft. The connection part between the bowl and the rod shaft adopts a left-handed thread design, and the bowl and the rod shaft are threadedly connected through the left-handed thread.

[0011] Furthermore, it further includes a fixing component which locks and fixes the bowl and the rod shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer side wall of the upper part of the rod shaft is provided with a left-handed external thread, the bowl has a left-handed threaded hole, the inner wall of the left-handed threaded hole is provided with a left-handed internal thread matching the small left-handed external thread, and the upper part of the rod shaft is installed in the left-handed threaded hole and threadedly connected.

[0013] Further, the supporting bowl is in a circular plate shape, and a left-handed threaded hole is formed in the bottom of the supporting bowl along the central axis of the supporting bowl.

[0014] Further, the supporting bowl is in an annular shape, and the left-handed threaded hole is formed in the inner wall of the supporting bowl.

[0015] Further, the fixing assembly includes at least one locking screw, and the locking screw connects and locks the supporting bowl and the supporting rod shaft.

[0016] Further, the locking screw is a stitch screw.

[0017] Further, the supporting bowl and the supporting rod shaft are threadedly connected through an M110×3 left-handed thread.

[0018] Further, both the supporting bowl and the supporting rod shaft are made of isostatic pressing graphite material.

[0019] A single crystal furnace includes the crucible shaft described above.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0021] Since the crucible shaft rotates clockwise during actual operation, although the crucible shaft in this solution adopts a split design of a supporting rod shaft and a supporting bowl to reduce the manufacturing cost, the supporting rod shaft and the supporting bowl on it are connected by tightening with a left-handed thread. In this way, when the crucible shaft rotates clockwise, the cooperation between the supporting rod shaft and the supporting bowl becomes tighter and tighter, without any looseness, thereby ensuring the stability of the crystal growth liquid level.
