[0032] Below is the attached figure Figures 1 to 6 The technical solution of the utility model is further illustrated through specific implementation methods.

[0033] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a MPCVD chamber structure with good sealing performance includes an upper cover 1 and a container 2, wherein the upper cover 1 covers the top of the container 2, and a reaction chamber is formed between the upper cover 1 and the container 2;

[0034] The top of the container 2 is provided with a first annular sealing groove 21 and a second annular sealing groove 22, and a sealing ring 23 is installed in each of the first annular sealing groove 21 and the second annular sealing groove 22;

[0035] A first water-cooling chamber 3 is provided inside the container 2 , and a first water inlet 31 and a first water outlet 32 ​​are provided in the container 2 , which are in communication with the first water-cooling chamber 3 .

[0036] The coolant enters the first water-cooling chamber 3 through the first water inlet 31 and flows out from the first water outlet 32 ​​to remove the heat of the container 2, so as to cool the first annular sealing groove 21 and the second annular sealing groove 22 at the top of the container 2, thereby preventing the sealing ring 23 from being in a high temperature environment and being easily aged, thereby improving the sealing stability of the device.

[0037] like Figure 2-4As shown, an annular vacuum groove 24 is formed at the top of the container 2, and the annular vacuum groove 24 is located between the first annular sealing groove 21 and the second annular sealing groove 22. A through hole 241 is formed on the inner bottom wall of the annular vacuum groove 24, and the through hole 241 is connected to the first annular sealing groove 21 and the second annular sealing groove 22;

[0038] A first air extraction hole 11 is provided above the annular vacuum groove 24 . The first air extraction hole 11 is provided at the bottom end of the upper cover 1 . The first air extraction hole 11 is connected to an external first air extraction device 12 .

[0039] Specifically, when vacuuming, the gas on the outside of the sealing ring 23 in the first annular sealing groove 21 and the gas on the inside of the sealing ring 23 in the second annular sealing groove 22 enter the annular vacuum groove 24 through the through hole 241, and the gas in the annular vacuum groove 24 is extracted by the first exhaust device 12 through the first exhaust hole 11, so that the connection between the container 2 and the upper cover 1 is more tightly fitted together, and under the action of the sealing ring 23, external air is prevented from entering the reaction chamber through the connection between the container 2 and the upper cover 1.

[0040] like Figure 2-4 As shown, an annular microwave shielding groove 25 is provided at the top of the container 2, a microwave shielding ring 251 is provided inside the annular microwave shielding groove 25, the first annular sealing groove 21 is located on the inner side of the second annular sealing groove 22, and the annular microwave shielding groove 25 is located on the inner side of the first annular sealing groove 21.

[0041] Specifically, the microwave shielding ring 251 can be provided to prevent microwave leakage in the reaction chamber from affecting the external environment and the deposition of diamonds.

[0042] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the top of the container 2 is provided with an air storage hole 211 connected to the first annular sealing groove 21, and the air storage hole 211 is located between the first annular sealing groove 21 and the annular microwave shielding groove 25, and the air storage hole 211 is connected to the reaction chamber.

[0043] Specifically, when the first air extraction device 12 is evacuating a vacuum, the sealing ring 23 deforms so that the upper and lower ends of the sealing ring 23 are respectively in close contact with the upper cover 1 and the container 2 to achieve sealing. Therefore, the air inside the sealing ring 23 of the first annular sealing groove 21 cannot be extracted through the gap between the sealing ring 23 and the upper cover 1 and the container 2. This part of the air will gradually flow into the reaction chamber along the gap between the container 2 and the upper cover 1, affecting the vacuum environment in the reaction chamber and thus affecting the deposition of diamonds. Therefore, the air storage hole 211 is provided to communicate with the reaction chamber. When the reaction chamber is evacuated, the air inside the sealing ring 23 of the first annular sealing groove 21 can flow into the reaction chamber through the air storage hole 211 and be extracted, thereby avoiding the residual air inside the sealing ring 23 of the first annular sealing groove 21.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the first water inlet 31 is located at the outer bottom wall of the container 2 , and the first water outlet 32 ​​is located at the top end of the outer side wall of the container 2 .

[0045] Specifically, the first water inlet 31 is located above the first water outlet 32, so that the coolant can fill the first water cooling chamber 3 and then flow out from the first water outlet 32, so that the coolant can fully contact the first water cooling chamber 3 to achieve a good cooling effect.

[0046] like Figure 2 and 4 As shown, a groove 26 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the container 2, and a sealing plate 27 is removably covered on the top of the groove 26. A plurality of second air extraction holes 271 connected to the groove 26 are provided on the top of the sealing plate 27, and the groove 26 is connected to an external second air extraction device 28.

[0047] Specifically, the air in the reaction chamber enters the groove 26 through the plurality of second air extraction holes 271 and is then extracted by the second air extraction device 28 , so that a vacuum environment is formed in the reaction chamber.

[0048] Furthermore, the sealing plate 27 is detachably covered on the top of the groove 26 by bolts, so that the sealing plate 27 can be easily removed to clean the groove 26, thereby preventing impurities generated during the diamond growth process from entering the groove 26 through the second exhaust hole 271 and affecting the vacuum of the device.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of second air extraction holes 271 are arranged in a circular array at the top end of the sealing plate 27 .

[0050] Specifically, a plurality of second air extraction holes 271 are provided in an annular array at the top of the sealing plate 27 , so that the air in the reaction chamber can be evenly extracted.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the top edge of the upper cover 1 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 13, and the top edge of the container 2 is provided with second mounting holes corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of first mounting holes 13. When the upper cover 1 is covered on the top of the container 2, the first mounting holes 13 and the second mounting holes are fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0052] Preferably, the fasteners are bolts, which can facilitate assembly and disassembly between the container 2 and the upper cover 1.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of positioning posts 29 are symmetrically provided on the top edge of the container 2, and a positioning hole 14 corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of positioning posts 29 is provided on the top edge of the upper cover 1. When the upper cover 1 is covered on the top of the container 2, the positioning posts 29 are inserted into the positioning holes 14.

[0054] Specifically, the cooperation between the positioning posts 29 and the positioning holes 14 can facilitate the sealed docking of the upper cover 1 and the container 2 .

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, a second water-cooling chamber 15 is provided inside the upper cover 1 , and a second water inlet and a second water outlet communicating with the second water-cooling chamber 15 are provided on the outer wall of the upper cover 1 .

[0056] Specifically, the upper cover 1 can be cooled by the second water-cooling chamber 15 , thereby preventing the upper cover 1 from being overheated and causing the sealing ring 23 to be overheated.

[0057] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are intended solely to illustrate the principles of the present invention and should not be construed in any way as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art will be able to devise other specific implementations of the present invention without inventive effort, and such implementations will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
