[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Such as Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown, at least one embodiment provides a waste discharging device, including: a waste discharging pipe 100; and a waste discharging mechanism 200, on which an air chamber 210 is provided, and a plurality of air inlet pipes 220 are vertically arranged at the bottom of the air chamber 210; wherein each of the air inlet pipes 220 can extend into the same or different temperature zones of the drying furnace to form a plurality of air ducts, and the air ducts communicate with the waste discharging pipe 100, and the waste gas generated by drying the material is extracted by a fan 300.

[0038] In some embodiments, the present waste discharging device can be used in the technical field of solar cell silicon wafer production. Specifically, during the drying process of the silicon wafer, the silicon wafer is placed on a carrier or tray in the drying furnace, and the hot air uniformly heats the silicon wafer through the inside of the drying furnace. Among them, the moisture and solvent vapor in the furnace are discharged by the fan of the waste discharging system and discharged outside the equipment through the pipeline. Generally, a square drying device is mostly used in the production line, and a single exhaust pipe cannot provide enough flow rate to quickly discharge all the waste gas generated during the drying process. Therefore, the waste discharging pipe 100 of the present waste discharging device is connected with a waste discharging mechanism 200, and a plurality of air inlet pipes 220 are arranged on the waste discharging mechanism 200. By arranging a plurality of air inlet pipes to extend into different or the same drying temperature zones to form a plurality of air ducts, the air ducts communicating with the waste discharging pipe 100 contribute to realizing the temperature and air flow uniformity in different areas of the drying furnace, and can more effectively extract the waste gas from each temperature zone, thereby improving the overall waste discharging efficiency and ensuring the uniformity of silicon wafer drying.

[0039] The following describes an implementation manner of the present waste discharging device using a silicon wafer as a material, but the application scenario of the present waste discharging device is not limited to the technical field of solar cell silicon wafer production.

[0040] In some embodiments, the waste gas is shunted and processed through the air chamber 210 and then communicated to the waste discharging pipe 100 for discharge. The air chamber 210 is provided with a top plate 211 and a base 212; at least two air holes 213 are opened on the top plate 211, and each of the air holes 213 communicates with the waste discharging pipe 100, and a plurality of air inlet holes 213 on the base 212 are respectively connected with the corresponding air inlet pipes 220. Through the layout of the air holes and the air inlet pipes 220, the hot air is promoted to be evenly distributed in the air chamber, and the uniformity of silicon wafer drying is improved.

[0041] In some embodiments, when the exhaust gas passes through a number of air holes 213 and is connected to the exhaust pipe 100 via the fan 300, in order to prevent the entry of external air and pollutants, a cavity cover 102 is detachably connected to the top of the air cavity 210. The cavity cover 102 includes an upper plate portion 112 and an outer peripheral portion 122. A channel is provided in the upper plate portion 112 and is in communication with the exhaust pipe 100. The cavity cover 102 covers the top plate 211 through the outer peripheral portion 122 and encloses each of the air holes 213. The cavity cover 102 encloses each of the air holes 213 to form a gas flow channel, maintaining the structural integrity of the air cavity. Moreover, the detachable design of the cavity cover 102 facilitates maintenance and cleaning.

[0042] As Figure 3 shown, in order to ensure the firm connection between the top plate and the base and prevent displacement or separation during use, a locking member 230 is provided at the external joint of the top plate 211 and the base 212. The top plate 211 and the base 212 are connected and fastened through the locking member 230. When maintenance or cleaning of the air cavity 210 is required, the locking member 230 not only facilitates disassembly and reassembly but also helps to form a sealed environment, preventing gas or liquid leakage and the entry of external pollutants.

[0043] In some embodiments, the exhaust gas continuously extracted by the fan is likely to condensate on the cold wall surface of the air cavity 210. To protect the inner wall of the air cavity 210 from the influence of high-temperature exhaust gas and extend the service life of the equipment, a heat insulation layer is attached to the inner side wall of the air cavity 210, and the heat insulation layer is made of heat-insulating cotton. The heat insulation layer helps to evenly distribute the temperature inside the air cavity, avoiding local overheating or overcooling to protect the structural integrity of the air cavity.

[0044] In some embodiments, the waste discharge mechanisms 200 can be interconnected, and an opening 240 is provided thereon. The opening 240 is provided on the side of the air cavity 210. Each of the waste discharge mechanisms 200 is interconnected through the opening 240 to share a common fan and exhaust pipe.

[0045] During production, the exhaust gas may contain solid particles, dust, and other pollutants. To reduce the wear of equipment such as the fan 300 and the exhaust pipe 100, a filter 310 is connected to the fan 300. By filtering the discharged gas, the pollution of the external environment is reduced, especially when harmful gases may be generated during the drying process.

[0046] In some embodiments, additional support needs to be provided to the exhaust pipe 110 to ensure its structural stability and prevent it from shaking or sagging easily. A support rod 110 is connected to the bottom of the exhaust pipe 100.

[0047] As Figure 4As shown, at least one embodiment provides a drying furnace, comprising: a heating device 500; the furnace chamber in the heating device 500 is connected to the intake pipe 220 in the waste discharging device as described above.

[0048] In some embodiments, the drying furnace of the present invention can be used for drying silicon wafers.

[0049] As Figure 5 As shown, at least one embodiment provides a drying and waste discharging system, comprising a plurality of waste discharging devices as described above. Each of the waste discharging devices is connected in series with at least one waste discharging mechanism to form a waste discharging tower, and at least one fan is used to extract materials, such as the waste gas generated by silicon wafer drying. In an actual production line, the heating device of the drying furnace is divided into several heating zones, and corresponding numbers of waste discharging structures are arranged in different heating zones to perform waste discharging treatment on the drying furnace.

[0050] In summary, the utility model is connected with a waste discharging mechanism through a waste discharging pipe. A plurality of intake pipes are arranged on the waste discharging mechanism. By setting a plurality of drying temperature zones into which the intake pipes extend, a plurality of air ducts are formed. Each air duct communicates with the waste discharging pipe, which helps to achieve the temperature and air flow uniformity in different areas of the drying furnace. The plurality of intake pipes can fully extract and discharge waste gas, and can more effectively extract waste gas from each temperature zone, thereby improving the overall waste discharging efficiency and ensuring the uniformity of material drying, such as silicon wafer drying.
