This improves the problem of water absorption and deformation of the silicon carbide blank and effectively enhances the planar accuracy of the silicon carbide blank.

[0030] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless there is a conflict, the features in the following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other.

[0031] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a carrying device 1 in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the carrying device 1 in one embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a carrying device 1, comprising a support frame 10, a carrier 20, and a top cover 30. The carrier 20 is mounted on the support frame 10 and located on the upper surface of the support frame 10. The carrier 20 is used to carry a silicon carbide blank 9. By placing the silicon carbide blank 9 on the carrier 20, the carrier 20 is mounted on the support frame 10 so that the carrier 20 and the working position of the silicon carbide blank 9 processing equipment are close in height, facilitating the loading and unloading of the silicon carbide blank 9. The top cover 30 is disposed on the side of the carrier 20 away from the support frame 10. The top cover 30 and the carrier 20 enclose a storage space, and the silicon carbide blank 9 is disposed within the storage space.

[0033] In some embodiments, the carrier 20 is fixed to the upper surface of the support frame 10 by fasteners, which helps to improve the position stability of the carrier 20.

[0034] In other embodiments, the carrier 20 is detachably attached to the upper surface of the support frame 10, facilitating removal and replacement of the carrier 20. When the processing equipment processes a different specification of silicon carbide blanks 9, it is necessary to replace the carrier 20 with another model that is compatible with the silicon carbide blanks 9. By detachably connecting the carrier 20 to the support frame 10, it is possible to adapt to various models of silicon carbide blanks 9 by simply replacing the corresponding carrier 20, thereby increasing the application flexibility of the carrier device 1.

[0035] A top cover 30 is provided on the side of the carrier 20 away from the support frame 10. The top cover 30 and the carrier 20 enclose a receiving space. The silicon carbide blank 9 after processing is set in the receiving space to isolate the silicon carbide blank 9 from moisture in the air outside the receiving space, slowing down the entry of moisture in the air outside the receiving space into the silicon carbide blank 9, thereby improving the problem of water absorption and deformation of the silicon carbide blank 9 and effectively improving the plane accuracy of the silicon carbide blank 9.

[0036] Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a carrier 20 in an embodiment of the present application.

[0037] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the carrier 20 includes a main body 21 and a sinking portion 22 surrounding the main body 21. The main body 21 is used to support the silicon carbide blank 9, and the sinking portion 22 is used to support the top cover 30. The top cover 30 includes a top cover 31 and side portions 32 surrounding the surface of the top cover 31. When the top cover 30 is covered on the upper surface of the carrier 20, the sinking portion 22 supports the side portions 32 of the top cover 30, and the main body 21 is at least partially located in the top cover 30 and is shielded by the top cover 31 and the side portions 32. The main body 21 and the sinking portion 22 cooperate with the top cover 30 to limit the position of the top cover 30, thereby improving the accuracy of the cooperation between the top cover 30 and the carrier 20.

[0038] In some embodiments, a surface of the carrier 20, distal from the support frame 10, is defined as a bearing surface 211. Bearing surface 211 is provided with a bearing groove 212, which is recessed toward the side of the support frame 10. Bearing groove 212 is used to bear the silicon carbide preform 9. When the silicon carbide preform 9 is placed in bearing groove 212, the side edges of bearing groove 212 block the side surfaces of the silicon carbide preform 9, thereby providing a position-limiting function and improving the stability of the position of the silicon carbide preform 9.

[0039] In some embodiments, a plurality of loading slots 212 are provided, each of which can accommodate a silicon carbide blank 9. Providing multiple loading slots 212 on the upper surface of the carrier 20 allows for simultaneous loading of multiple silicon carbide blanks 9 and separates the multiple silicon carbide blanks 9, thereby increasing the capacity of the carrier 20.

[0040] In some embodiments, there are twelve carrying slots 212 on the carrier 20 , and the twelve carrying slots 212 are arranged in a 3×4 array on the upper surface of the carrier 20 .

[0041] In other embodiments, the carrying groove 212 can be configured according to the ratio between the actual size of the carrier 20 and the actual size of the silicon carbide blank 9 , which is not limited herein.

[0042] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a surface on the carrier 20 close to the support frame 10 is defined as a heating surface 213 , wherein the heating surface 213 and the carrying surface 211 are opposite surfaces on the carrier 20 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the carrying device 1 further includes a heating element 40 , and the heating element 40 is used to heat the heating surface 213 of the carrier 20 .

[0044] In some embodiments, the heating surface 213 is provided with a heating groove 214 , and the heating element 40 is disposed in the heating groove 214 and fixedly connected by fasteners. Figure 3 In the figure, the heating tank 214 is located at the bottom of the carrier 20, which is indicated by a dotted line.

[0045] In some embodiments, the heating element 40 is provided as a single piece, with the surface area of ​​the heating element 40 facing the carrier 20 being slightly smaller than the surface area of ​​the main body 21 of the carrier 20 facing the heating element 40. The projection of the bearing groove 212, as viewed from the top cover 30 toward the support frame 10, lies within the projection of the heating element 40. Heating the carrier 20 with a single heating element 40 facilitates uniform heating across all locations on the carrier 20. Furthermore, a single heating element 40 is simple to install, requiring only a single installation, thus facilitating convenient installation of the heating element 40.

[0046] In some embodiments, the heating element 40 is provided in multiple pieces, and the supporting grooves 212 are provided with multiple pieces, and each supporting groove 212 corresponds to at least one heating groove 214. In this embodiment, each supporting groove 212 corresponds to a heating groove 214, and a heating element 40 is provided at the bottom of each heating groove 214. Heating a single supporting groove 212 by a single heating element 40 is conducive to achieving separate temperature control of different silicon carbide blanks 9, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature control. For example, the supporting groove 212 located at the edge of the upper surface of the carrier 20 has more severe heat loss due to its portion facing the side portion 32. Therefore, by increasing the heating temperature of the corresponding heating element 40 at its bottom, the lost heat can be compensated, which is conducive to improving the temperature consistency of multiple silicon carbide blanks 9 on the carrier 20.

[0047] In some embodiments, the heating element 40 is disposed in the heating tank 214 and is in close contact with the heating tank 214 , which is beneficial for rapid temperature conduction.

[0048] In other embodiments, the heating element 40 is disposed in the heating tank 214, and a heat spreader (not shown) is provided between the heating element 40 and the bottom wall of the heating tank 214, so that there is a certain distance between the heating element 40 and the bottom wall of the heating tank 214. The temperature of the heating element 40 is evenly transferred to the carrier 20 through the heat spreader, which is beneficial to improving the temperature consistency of various positions of the silicon carbide blank 9 in a single heating tank 214.

[0049] Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a wire duct 215 in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0050] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a wire groove 215 is provided on the sidewall of the heating tank 214. The heating element 40 includes a plate 41 and a wire 42. The plate 41 is provided in the heating tank 214. The wire 42 is electrically connected to the plate 41 and passes through the wire groove 215. Providing the wire groove 215 on the sidewall of the heating tank 214 facilitates the straight extraction of the wire 42, thereby improving the flatness of the layout of the heating element 40.

[0051] In some embodiments, the heating element 40 is a plate-shaped structure.

[0052] In some embodiments, the carrier device 1 further includes an insulation plate 50 , which is disposed on a side of the carrier 20 away from the top cover 30 to keep the carrier 20 warm, thereby reducing heat loss from the carrier 20 and improving the temperature stability of the carrier 20 .

[0053] In some embodiments, insulation board 50 is an Extruded Polystyrene Board (XPS), a rigid foam plastic board made from polystyrene resin, other raw materials, and polymers, heated and mixed, with the addition of a catalyst, and then extruded and molded. In other embodiments, insulation board 50 is a polyurethane board.

[0054] In some embodiments, the top cover 30 includes a heat-insulating material, which helps to further reduce heat loss of the carrier 20 and improve the temperature stability of the carrier 20 .

[0055] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the support frame 10 in one embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0056] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the support frame 10 includes four long beams 11, four wide beams 12, and four vertical beams 13. Two long beams 11 and two wide beams 12 are connected end to end to form a lower frame, and another two long beams 11 and another two wide beams 12 are connected end to end to form an upper frame. The four vertical beams 13 are connected to the lower frame and the upper frame respectively to form a rectangular parallelepiped frame, and the carrier 20 is connected to the upper frame.

[0057] In some embodiments, the long beam 11 , the wide beam 12 and the vertical beam 13 are all cut from square aluminum profiles. The long beam 11 and the wide beam 12 are connected by fasteners, and the wide beam 12 and the vertical beam 13 are connected by fasteners.

[0058] In some embodiments, the carrying device 1 further includes a connecting plate, which is disposed on a side of the support frame 10 away from the carrier 20 .

[0059] In some embodiments, four connecting plates are provided, and the four connecting plates are connected to the four corners of the lower frame respectively. A caster 70 is connected to the bottom of each connecting plate, so that the carrying device 1 can be moved by the caster 70 to facilitate the transportation of the silicon carbide blank 9.
