Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of refining equipment, and in particular relates to automatic refining equipment for industrial silicon. Background Art
[0002] Industrial silicon refining is divided into chloride refining and oxidation refining. However, considering the equipment cost and environmental pollution and other related conditions, chloride refining has been eliminated. At present, oxidation refining is the method commonly used in the industry. Domestic and foreign industrial silicon manufacturers currently use manual control when using oxidation refining.
[0003] Manual refining mainly relies on experienced refining workers observing the flames and tumbling of the liquid silicon in the silicon bag. The refining operators manually adjust the flow of refining air and oxygen into the silicon liquid based on their production experience. Therefore, it requires experienced refining workers to operate, which means that the technical requirements are high and the labor costs are high.
[0004] With the rapid development of my country's industrial silicon industry and its downstream industries, the number of industrial silicon electric furnaces is increasing at an alarming rate. Many newly built domestic silicon plants are unable to hire a sufficient number of refining workers with qualified operating skills. In addition, manual refining is inefficient, the calcium and aluminum content in the product is high, and there are large deviations in the material usage of different operators during the refining process. In addition, the ventilation volume cannot be accurately controlled, which easily leads to the loss of refining gas and silicon water. Utility Model Content

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an industrial silicon automatic refining device of the present invention includes a first base 1 and a second base 2. The bottom of the first base 1 and the second base 2 are both installed with a moving wheel 3. The first base 1 is provided with an alignment groove 4. The second base 2 is integrally connected to a connecting block 5 located in the alignment groove 4. The alignment groove 4 and the connecting block 5 are both provided with a pin hole 6.
[0033] The first base 1 is equipped with a bracket 101, the cross-section of the bracket 101 is L-shaped, and the bracket 101 is symmetrically hinged with two hooks 102, and the two hooks 102 are mounted together with the furnace body 103. The bracket 101 is equipped with an infrared thermometer 104, and the bottom of the furnace body 103 is equipped with a gas nozzle 105. The outside of the furnace body 103 is equipped with a side hook 106. The bracket 101 is equipped with a hanging ring 107. A hand-cranked wheel 108 is rotatably mounted on the table of the first base 1. A rope is connected between the hand-cranked wheel 108, the hanging ring 107 and the side hook 106.
[0034] The second base 2 is installed with a central control box 201, and an air pipe 202 and an oxygen pipe 203 are installed in the central control box 201. The output ends of the air pipe 202 and the oxygen pipe 203 are connected to the gas nozzle 105.
[0035] The air pipe 202 is equipped with an electronically controlled compressed air flow meter 2021, an electronically controlled compressed air pressure gauge 2022 and an electronically controlled compressed air valve 2023;
[0036] An electrically controlled oxygen flow meter 2031 , an electrically controlled oxygen pressure gauge 2032 and an electrically controlled oxygen valve 2033 are installed on the oxygen pipe 203 .
[0037] In this embodiment, when using an industrial silicon automatic refining equipment, the first base 1 and the second base 2 can be docked for use according to the usage situation, or they can be used in a avoidance manner according to the space. The docking method is often used in situations where movement is required. After the docking is completed, the first base 1 or the second base 2 can be pushed to use both together. The avoidance method is often used when there is an interference problem during placement, and separate placement can better adapt.
[0038] To tilt the furnace body 103, one only needs to turn the hand wheel 108, cooperate with the rope hung on the hanging ring 107, and pull the side hook 106 upwards, so that the furnace body 103 can be rotated at the position of the hook 102 to achieve the purpose of tilting;
[0039] During operation, when the silicon water is discharged from the furnace and arrives at the refining area, the system extracts the result of the infrared thermometer 104 and automatically adjusts the valve opening of the electronically controlled compressed air pressure gauge 2022 and the electronically controlled compressed air valve 2023 according to the system refining logic and detects the flow rate. When the silicon water temperature is below 1530℃, the system automatically adjusts the valve opening of the electronically controlled oxygen pressure gauge 2032 and the electronically controlled oxygen valve 2033 to ensure that the oxygen flow rate is between 45-50m 3 / h, compressed air flow rate is 10-15m 3 When the silicon water temperature is between 1530-1560℃, the oxygen flow rate is controlled at 35-45m 3 / h, the compressed air flow rate is controlled at 15-25m 3 / h; when the silicon water temperature is greater than 1560℃, the oxygen flow rate is controlled at 30-35m 3 / h, the compressed air flow rate is controlled at 15-30m 3 / h;
[0040] Refining is complete when the silicon liquid in the bag is manually observed to have red sparks that fall to the ground and do not move; or when the silicon liquid rolls, a large amount of bean curd-like accumulation is observed at the edge of the bag and the silicon liquid is viscous. Refining is complete when an iron rod is quickly inserted into the silicon liquid and withdrawn. If it is smooth and the calcium spot coverage rate is 75%-85%, refining is complete.
[0041] After refining, measure the temperature of the silicon water in the bag again. After refining, the temperature should be controlled at 1460℃-1500℃. If the temperature exceeds 1500℃, add air to further cool it down. 5 minutes before casting, oxygen should be turned off and air should be turned on. The ventilation volume should be controlled at 10Nm 3 / h, make the silicone water in the bag roll slightly, and start casting after scum appears on the surface.
[0042] Preferably, the second base 2 is equipped with a pipe reel 204. With this design, the pipes connected from the air pipe 202 and the oxygen pipe 203 can be wound and reeled on the pipe reel 204 to prevent excessively long wire pipes from affecting the production environment. In fact, the wire pipe bundling method can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0043] Preferably, the moving wheel 3 is a self-locking universal moving wheel. Such a design facilitates movement and quick start and stop. In fact, the choice of the moving wheel 3 can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0044] Preferably, a data acquisition module 205, a data processing module 206 and a control module 207 are installed in the central control box 201. The data acquisition module 205 is connected to the signal of the infrared thermometer 104.
