Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaics and semiconductors, and in particular relates to an automatic classification and transportation device for sand used in semiconductor and solar quartz crucibles. Background Art

[0002] Quartz crucible is a sub-product of quartz glass products. It is made of high-purity quartz sand through mold shaping and high-temperature production using the electric arc method. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, long service life, and high purity. Quartz crucible is mainly used as an auxiliary consumable for drawing high-purity single crystal silicon rods for semiconductors. It is a key disposable consumable for holding molten silicon liquid during the drawing process of single crystal silicon rods. According to the downstream application scenarios of single crystal silicon rods, quartz crucibles can be divided into quartz crucibles for semiconductor single crystal silicon growth (semiconductor quartz crucibles and photovoltaic single crystal silicon growth quartz crucibles). In recent years, with the vigorous development of the photovoltaic and semiconductor industries, the demand for quartz crucibles has also increased year by year, and at the same time, higher requirements have been placed on the quality of quartz crucibles and their production processes.

[0003] Quartz crucibles need to be stacked with different qualities of quartz sand in each layer under high temperature. The quality of the added quartz sand also varies, and the location and stacking method of the added quartz sand will also vary due to the different shapes of the inner wall and bottom of the quartz crucible. Due to this complex process requirement, the existing quartz crucible production method on the market is generally purely manual.

[0004] Workers work continuously and with high concentration in a high-temperature environment to prevent processing errors, environmental impurities and other problems. For example, if impurities fall into the crucible during processing or the thickness is uneven during the stacking process, the entire quartz crucible will become waste. The current market price of quartz sand is expensive, and the scrap rate increases, which in turn increases the cost of the entire quartz crucible and cannot meet the market's positioning requirements for quartz crucibles.

[0005] Therefore, how to continuously add preset quantities of quartz sand of different qualities during the quartz crucible manufacturing process is the primary problem to be solved in improving the automated manufacturing of quartz crucibles. Utility Model Content

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the automatic sorting and handling equipment for semiconductor and solar quartz crucible sand created by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0038] (1) The utility model provides multiple rotatable and elevating sand barrels to meet the needs of adding materials of different qualities. At the same time, the purpose of automatically adding sand is achieved through the mechanical structure. Combined with the cleanliness requirements of the quartz crucible during the processing, different sand barrels can reduce the contamination between materials of different qualities. The use of the classification barrel opening and closing valve to control the amount of sand dropped from the barrel also meets the requirement of accurately controlling the amount of sand dropped. Not only does the mechanical design realize the automatic separation of quartz sand, but it also replaces the problems of low manual efficiency and the lack of cleanliness and consistency.

[0039] (2) The structural design of the opening and closing valve of the classification barrel described in the present invention can meet the quantitative requirements of quartz sand blanking, and can control the opening and closing degree of blanking, thereby controlling the blanking speed and meeting the subsequent requirements for the quartz crucible processing technology.

[0040] (3) The classification barrel vibrator and classification barrel blowing components described in the present invention can further improve the accuracy and cleanliness requirements of blanking. Since quartz sand has a certain viscosity, "hanging on the wall" may occur during the blanking process, and the smoothness of blanking can be improved by vibration; the added blowing part can assist the vibration to ensure the smoothness of blanking, and at the same time improve the cleanliness of blanking, and will not cause the quartz sand added to the sand barrel later to mix with the previous quartz sand, thereby improving the cleanliness and ensuring the quality of subsequent quartz crucible processing.

[0041] (4) The protective cover of the classification valve group described in the present invention can wrap the mechanical parts located around the blanking position, further ensuring the cleanliness of the quartz sand during the blanking process and meeting the prerequisite requirements for the automated production of quartz crucibles.

[0042] (5) The structural design of the classification rotation mechanism described in the present invention can not only satisfy the requirement that the sand barrel can rotate along a preset origin, thereby achieving the purpose of loading materials at one place and unloading materials at another place, but also avoid the contamination problem caused by pouring materials into the sand barrel at the unloading position; it can also minimize the coordination of spare parts due to the rotating structural design, thereby avoiding more pollution during the operation of parts.

[0043] (6) The structural design of the classification lifting mechanism described in the present invention and the structural coordination design avoid lifting and lowering obstruction caused by excessive weight of the material in the sand barrel, and meet the requirements of lifting stability.

[0058] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to internal communication between two components. A person skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0059] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0060] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, an automatic sand sorting and transporting device 2 for semiconductor and solar quartz crucibles includes a sorting lifting mechanism 21, a sorting rotating mechanism 22 and at least two sand barrels 23;

[0061] The classification lifting mechanism 21 and the classification rotating mechanism 22 work together to enable the sand barrel 23 to rotate and lift at a preset origin;

[0062] Each discharge port of the sand material barrel 23 is connected to a useful sand dividing assembly 24 , and the sand dividing assembly 24 includes a classification barrel opening and closing valve 244 for controlling the opening and closing degree of the discharge port of the sand material barrel 23 .

[0063] The sand barrel 23 needs to be moved to the vicinity of the quartz crucible melting furnace mold 1 through the classification rotation mechanism 22 and the classification lifting mechanism 21 to facilitate blanking or loading. Generally, it will go through a weighing process before entering the mold, so a quartz crucible automatic feeding and shape and size control growth device may be added to accurately measure the weight and speed of the feeding. Of course, the patented device can also be used to directly add materials to the quartz crucible melting furnace mold 1 and select according to processing requirements.

[0064] The production of quartz crucibles is generally divided into different levels, and the added materials generally include secondary materials, outer layer materials, middle layer materials, inner layer materials, and fine powder materials; therefore, the sand barrel 23 can be set in quantity according to the type of material, and the classification rotating structure can be used to determine which type of material to be dropped.

[0065] Due to the requirement of automated classification and unloading, as long as the sand material barrel 23 carrying the material can be rotated and lifted and lowered, the requirement can be met. Therefore, the classification rotation mechanism 22 and the classification lifting mechanism 21 can be divided into two installation modes. One is that the classification lifting mechanism 21 carries the sand material barrel 23 to be lifted and lowered and is driven to rotate by the classification rotation mechanism 22. The other is that the classification lifting mechanism 21 drives the classification rotation mechanism 22 to be lifted and lowered. The sand material barrel 23 is connected to the classification rotation mechanism 22, and the sand material barrel 23 can be rotated according to the preset origin.

[0066] The specific installation structure is as follows:

[0067] 1. The classification rotating mechanism 22 is connected to the classification lifting mechanism 21, and the sand barrel 23 is connected to the classification rotating mechanism 22 and rotates relative to the classification lifting mechanism 21 through the classification rotating mechanism 22;

[0068] Second, the classification lifting mechanism 21 is connected to the classification rotating mechanism 22, and the sand material barrel 23 is connected to the classification lifting mechanism 21. The classification rotating mechanism 22 makes the classification lifting mechanism 21 rotate around a preset origin, and the sand material barrel 23 moves with the classification lifting mechanism 21;

[0069] The classification lifting mechanism 21 enables the sand material barrel 23 to move up and down relative to a preset origin.

[0070] Figure 5-8 The material distribution rotating mechanism is shown to be installed on the material distribution lifting mechanism, and the sand material barrel 23 is installed on the material distribution rotating mechanism;

[0071] The classification rotation mechanism 22 includes a classification rotation servo motor 221 and a classification rotation external tooth bearing 223; the classification rotation external tooth bearing 223 has an outer ring with a circle of meshing teeth, and the inner ring is fixed to the classification rotation fixed seat 225. The output end of the classification rotation servo motor 221 is connected to the classification rotation drive teeth 224, and the classification rotation drive teeth 224 are meshed with the outer ring of the classification rotation external tooth bearing 223;

[0072] The sand material barrel 23 is connected to the outer ring of the classification rotation external gear bearing 223, and the classification rotation fixed seat 225 is connected to the classification lifting mechanism 21;

[0073] Furthermore, a classification rotation limiter 222 is provided on the outer ring of the classification rotation external gear bearing 223 to limit the rotation position of the classification rotation external gear bearing 223. This can be achieved by using a limit sensor or a mechanical blocking structure. When the predetermined position of the sand material barrel 23 is set, the classification rotation limiter 222 can prevent the sand material barrel 23 from rotating excessively and also limit its corresponding position. Of course, the main function of the sand material barrel 23 reaching the fixed position is achieved by controlling the classification rotation servo motor 221.

[0074] The classification lifting mechanism 21 includes a classification lifting bracket 219, a classification lifting servo motor 214 and a classification lifting driving rack 213;

[0075] The classification lifting drive rack 213 is fixed on the classification lifting bracket 219, the output end of the classification lifting servo motor 214 is connected to the classification lifting gear, the classification lifting gear is engaged with the classification lifting rack, and the classification lifting servo motor 214 is fixed on the classification lifting seat;

[0076] A classification rotating mechanism 22 is installed on the classification lifting seat, and a sand material cylinder 23 is connected to the classification rotating mechanism 22.

[0077] When the classification lifting mechanism 21 rotates with the classification rotating mechanism 22, the specific connection method is as follows:

[0078] The classification lifting mechanism 21 is connected to the outer ring of the classification rotating external tooth bearing 223 , the classification rotating fixed seat 225 is fixed at a preset position, and the sand barrel 23 is connected to the classification lifting mechanism 21 in a liftable manner.

[0079] The sand material cylinder 23 is installed on the classification lifting seat, and the classification lifting bracket 219 is installed on the classification rotating mechanism 22.

[0080] Regardless of the connection method used by the classification lifting mechanism 21 and the classification rotating mechanism 22, classification V-shaped rollers 215 are provided on both sides of the classification lifting seat, and classification V-shaped guide rails 216 are provided on both sides of the classification lifting bracket 219. The classification V-shaped rollers 215 are rollingly arranged in the classification V-shaped guide rails 216. The coordinated rolling of the classification V-shaped guide rails 216 and the classification V-shaped rollers 215 can play a guiding role for the classification lifting mechanism 21, thereby improving the stability of the lifting. At the same time, the V-shaped connection can effectively reduce dust contamination of the falling materials.

[0081] Furthermore, the classification lifting bracket 219 is provided with a classification lifting locking hole 218, and the classification lifting seat is also provided with a classification lifting limit locking cylinder 217. The output end of the classification lifting limit locking cylinder 217 is connected to a locking member, which is plugged into the classification lifting locking hole 218. When the classification lifting mechanism 21 rises to a preset position, the classification lifting limit locking cylinder 217 moves and causes the locking member to be inserted into the corresponding classification lifting locking hole 218, thereby fixing the position and improving the safety of the entire classification lifting mechanism 21. Therefore, multiple classification lifting locking holes 218 can be provided on the classification lifting bracket 219 to meet different travel requirements.

[0082] The classification lifting bracket 219 is fixed at a preset position by a classification lifting base 25, and a classification column auxiliary support leg 26 is added to the lower side of the classification lifting bracket 219 to form the classification lifting bracket 219 into a stable triangle shape and fix it at the preset position.

[0083] A classification lifting anti-fall device 212 is also provided above the classification lifting bracket 219 , and the classification lifting anti-fall device 212 is equivalent to a structure for preventing falling in an elevator.

[0084] like Figure 3 、 4 9, a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the sand barrel 23 and the classification barrel opening and closing valve 244. The sand barrel 23 can be connected to the outside through the classification barrel discharge pipe 246, or it can be directly connected to the outside.

[0085] The classification barrel opening and closing valve 244 is used to control the opening and closing degree of the discharge of the sand barrel 23. The classification barrel opening and closing valve 244 here controls the opening and closing degree of the discharge of the sand barrel 23. There are many options for the valve body. You can choose a valve body with only an opening and closing function (only used to control the discharge of materials of different masses and also to control the weight of the discharged materials). You can also choose a valve body with multiple gear openings. This valve body can control the size of the outlet of the discharge of the sand barrel 23 to the outside, so that the discharge speed can be further controlled. The specific valve body selected on the market can be a gate valve, a stop valve, a butterfly valve, a ball valve, etc.

[0086] In order to better match the size and position of the sand barrel 23, this patent has innovated a valve body structure, which is as follows:

[0087] The discharge point of the sand barrel 23 is connected to the outside through the classification barrel discharge pipe 246. The classification barrel opening and closing valve 244 includes a baffle 2441 and a baffle 2441 movement mechanism. The baffle 2441 movement mechanism is used to displace the baffle 2441 relative to the pipe mouth of the classification barrel discharge pipe 246. One extreme position of the displacement of the baffle 2441 is completely away from the pipe mouth of the classification barrel discharge pipe 246, and the other extreme position is to completely cover the pipe mouth of the classification barrel discharge pipe.

[0088] Alternatively, a graduation groove is provided in the middle of the discharge pipe 246 of the classification barrel, and the graduation groove is adapted to the baffle 2441;

[0089] The baffle 2441 is displaced relative to the indexing groove by the movement mechanism of the baffle 2441. One extreme position of the displacement of the baffle 2441 is to be completely away from the indexing groove and to allow the nozzle of the discharge pipe 246 of the classification barrel to be connected to the outside world. The other extreme position is to be completely inserted into the indexing groove and to isolate the discharge pipe 246 of the classification barrel from the outside world.

[0090] The baffle 2441 and the outer portion of the indexing groove are covered in the valve housing of the classification barrel opening and closing valve 244; the classification barrel opening and closing valve 244 is installed on the classification barrel discharge mounting plate 247;

[0091] The sorting barrel discharge mounting plate 247 is provided with a sorting barrel air hole 245. An air generator is connected to the sorting barrel discharge pipe 246 through the sorting barrel air hole 245. The air blown by the air generator can act on the interior of the sorting barrel discharge pipe 246. The air generator can also be directly connected to the sorting barrel discharge point through an air pipe. The air generator blows air into the sorting barrel discharge pipe 246 or the outlet of the sand barrel 23. Both the nozzle of the sorting barrel discharge pipe 246 and the outlet of the sand barrel 23 can be referred to as the blanking outlet, that is, the portion that communicates with the external environment. The sorting barrel discharge pipe 246 or the outlet of the sand barrel 23 are both designed as funnels to facilitate discharge.

[0092] The movement mechanism of the baffle 2441 can be a servo electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, as long as the running trajectory can be controlled so that the baffle 2441 can stay in the preset position at any time as needed.

[0093] Furthermore, the sand-classifying component 24 further includes a classifying barrel vibrator 243 and a classifying barrel blowing component;

[0094] The classification barrel vibrator 243 is installed at the discharge of the sand barrel 23 and is used to generate vibration at the discharge of the sand barrel 23;

[0095] The air blowing component of the classification barrel includes an air blowing pipe and an air generator. One end of the air blowing pipe is connected to the air generator, and the other end is connected to the discharge point of the sand barrel 23.

[0096] The classification valve assembly protective cover 241 is also included. The classification valve assembly protective cover 241 is fixed at the discharge of the classification barrel and covers the classification barrel opening and closing valve 244, the classification barrel vibrator 243, and the air blowing pipeline in the classification barrel air blowing component. It can prevent contaminants generated by the moving components from falling into the quartz sand.

[0097] Furthermore, the sand barrel 23, the classification barrel opening and closing valve 244, and the classification barrel discharge pipe 246 are all made of 304 grade or above stainless steel to prevent material contamination caused by rust, or quartz sand material, even if there are tiny impurities falling, it will not cause material contamination.

[0098] Working principle: (Take the classification rotating mechanism 22 installed on the classification lifting mechanism 21 as an example)

[0099] A plurality of sand material cylinders 23 are provided as needed. Here, five sand material cylinders 23 are taken as an example. The five sand material cylinders 23 are mounted together through a classification mounting plate. The classification mounting plate is mounted on the classification rotating mechanism 22, specifically, on the outer shaft of the classification rotating external tooth bearing 223.

[0100] The classification rotating fixed seat 225 in the classification rotating mechanism 22 is connected to the classification lifting seat, and the classification lifting seat is fixed to the classification lifting servo motor 214. Through the rotation of the classification lifting servo motor 214, the classification rotating mechanism 22 can move vertically on the classification lifting bracket 219;

[0101] First, the sand barrels 23 are lowered to a position accessible to humans or machines through the classification lifting mechanism 21. After quartz sand of corresponding quality is added to each sand barrel 23 manually or by machine, the sand barrels 23 are raised to a preset position. Then, the classification rotation servo motor 221 in the classification rotation mechanism 22 is started, causing the sand barrels 23 to rotate. The classification rotation servo motor 221 controls which sand barrel 23 needs to be rotated to the corresponding position.

[0102] Then, the classification barrel opening and closing valve 244 is started to control the opening and closing of the valve body to coordinate with the blanking of the sand barrel 23. If the innovative valve body of this patent is used, the size of the blanking opening can be controlled by controlling the movement mechanism of the baffle 2441, thereby controlling the blanking speed;

[0103] During this period, the classification barrel vibrator 243 and the air generator are turned on so that there is always vibration and air blown out at the blanking position to prevent the material station from adhering to the blanking outlet.

[0104] The above description is only a 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 principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
