DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention proposes an external auxiliary structure of a Czochralski single crystal main heater, comprising:
[0023] The shell 1 has an inner wall provided with an insulation pad, which improves the insulation effect of the device. A sealed cover 3 is installed on the shell 1. The side wall of the sealed cover 3 is fixedly connected to a connecting ring 2. The connecting ring 2 has a plurality of screw blocks threaded through it. The plurality of screw blocks are threadedly connected to the shell 1. The inner wall of the sealed cover 3 is fixedly connected to a guide cylinder 4. The inner wall of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to an insulation shell 5. A rotating lifting assembly 6 is installed on the shell 1. The rotating lifting assembly 6 is a prior art, which is mainly composed of a rotating machine, a cylinder and a connecting rod, which can drive the heater body 7 to rotate and lift. It will not be repeated here. A heater body 7 is installed on the rotating lifting assembly 6. The heater body 7 is a prior art and can deliver current to the graphite sheet group 15, thereby heating the quartz crucible 9. It will not be repeated here.
[0024] A support plate 8 is mounted on the heater body 7, a graphite sheet group 15 is mounted on the support plate 8, a limit assembly is mounted on the graphite sheet group 15, a quartz crucible 9 is mounted on the support plate 8, and the quartz crucible 9 is located in the graphite sheet group 15; a fixing assembly; the fixing assembly includes a fixing cavity 10 provided on the support plate 8, a plurality of high-temperature resistant springs 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing cavity 10, a plurality of high-temperature resistant springs 11 are fixedly connected to a sliding plate 12, a card block 13 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 12, and the card block 13 is conically arranged. A limit groove is provided on the support plate 8, and a fixed block 14 is fixedly connected to the quartz crucible 9, the fixed block 14 and the limit groove match, a card groove is provided on the fixed block 14, and the card block 13 slides through the support plate 8;
[0025] The card block 13 matches the card slot, and the card block 13 is wedge-shaped. A pull rod is slidably passed through the support plate 8 and the graphite sheet group 15. One end of the pull rod is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 12. A handle 19 is fixedly connected to the pull rod, which is convenient for the user to pull the pull rod and improves the portability of the device. A positioning block 20 is fixedly connected to the quartz crucible 9. The positioning block 20 and the card slot are located on the same horizontal line, which is convenient for the user to align the card slot with the card block 13 and improves the portability of the device. The limiting assembly includes multiple connecting plates 16 installed on the side walls of the graphite sheet group 15. Multiple bolts 17 are threaded through the multiple connecting plates 16. Multiple bolts 17 are threadedly connected to the graphite sheet group 15. The side walls of multiple connecting plates 16 are fixedly connected to the limiting plates 18.
[0026] The detailed working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0027] When installing the quartz crucible 9, the user first aligns the positioning block 20 on the quartz crucible 9 with the handle 19, and then moves the quartz crucible 9 downward. During the descent of the quartz crucible 9, the side wall of the fixed block 14 squeezes the card block 13, and the high-temperature resistant spring 11 located in the fixed cavity 10 contracts. The sliding plate 12 slides in the fixed cavity 10, causing the card block 13 to temporarily contract into the fixed cavity 10. When the card slot on the fixed block 14 is facing the card block 13, the high-temperature resistant spring 11 automatically resets, causing the card block 13 located in the fixed cavity 10 to automatically move into the card slot, thereby achieving the quartz crucible 9. Automatic fixation allows the rotating lifting assembly 6 to drive the heater body 7 to lift and rotate. Since the quartz crucible 9 on the support plate 8 is limited by the block 13, the quartz crucible 9 rotates more stably, avoiding shaking or sliding of the quartz crucible 9 during the straight pulling process, thereby ensuring the quality of single crystal production. The user can fix the connecting plate 16 on the graphite sheet group 15 through the bolts 17, so that during the rotation and lifting process of the graphite sheet group 15, the limiting plate 18 on the connecting plate 16 can slide on the inner wall of the insulation shell 5, thereby improving the stability of the graphite sheet group 15 and protecting the graphite sheet group 15.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
