Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of zone melting germanium ingot quality detection, and particularly relates to a device which can rapidly reach detection temperature and humidity for the molten germanium ingot and maintain constant temperature, and can detect qualified germanium ingots at any time. Background Art

[0002] Existing temperature-controlled systems for zone-melted germanium ingots place them directly on a table in the testing room, where the temperature is then adjusted and maintained by air conditioning. However, due to the large size of the testing room, maintaining a constant temperature is difficult. Furthermore, personnel frequently enter and exit the testing room to load and unload materials, causing temperature loss. Poor sealing also contributes to temperature loss, requiring secondary temperature control, which wastes testing time and consumes more energy. A complete and smooth appearance is crucial for customer acceptance of the ingots, so collisions must be avoided during handling and the surface integrity of the ingots must be maintained. Furthermore, due to the poor ductility and brittle nature of germanium, placing the ingots directly on the table without any interlayer between them can easily damage or break the ingots, resulting in unusable products and unnecessary losses. Furthermore, the excessively high temperature of the ingots immediately after removal from the high-frequency furnace can easily lead to oxidation, causing the surface of the ingots to turn dark, losing their original metallic luster and resulting in substandard products, leading to unnecessary economic losses. A constant 20°C standard test temperature introduces too many uncertainties for testing agencies, resulting in excessive workload and the risk of non-standard temperature affecting product qualification rates. Furthermore, failure to meet temperature or humidity standards can lead to test failures, resulting in losses for customers and unnecessary damage to the company's reputation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device for rapidly reaching a constant temperature of a zone melting germanium ingot to detect temperature and humidity, so as to solve the problems that the zone melting germanium ingot is difficult to maintain a constant standard detection temperature and humidity, and the temperature and humidity lose too quickly, requiring secondary constant temperature, which wastes detection time and energy consumption.

[0004] A constant temperature device for rapidly reaching a detectable temperature and humidity for a zone-melting germanium ingot is characterized in that it comprises a box body and a variable-frequency air conditioner, an exhaust hole is provided on the top of the box body, and a hole cover that can be opened and closed is provided, a variable-frequency air conditioner is mounted on the rear side of the box body, and the wind direction thereof blows into the interior of the box body, a box door is provided on the front side of the box body, several layers of trays are set up in the box body, and several grids are respectively spaced out on each layer of trays, the length of each grid is greater than 60 cm and the width is greater than 4 cm, and fluororubber pads are provided on both sides of the side walls of the grid and the bottom of the tray; a digital thermometer and hygrometer are also provided in the box body, the probes of the thermometer and hygrometer are arranged in the box body, and the display screens thereof are arranged on the outer wall of the box body.

[0005] Furthermore, four layers of pallets are installed in the box.

[0006] Furthermore, the box body, box door and tray are all made of 304 stainless steel.

[0007] Furthermore, the variable frequency air conditioner is a 1.5 HP variable frequency air conditioner.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a constant temperature device for rapidly reaching the detection temperature and humidity of a zone-melting germanium ingot.

[0010] Among them: 1- inverter air conditioner, 2- cabinet, 3- tray, 4- exhaust hole, 5- cabinet door, 6- fluororubber pad, 7- thermometer, 8- hygrometer. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] Example 1: A constant temperature device for rapidly reaching a test temperature and humidity for a zone-melting germanium ingot comprises a housing 2 and a variable frequency air conditioner 1. The housing 2 has an exhaust hole 4 at the top and a retractable cover. Moisture within the housing 2 is discharged through the exhaust hole 4 to control the humidity within the housing 2. The variable frequency air conditioner 1 is mounted on the rear side of the housing 2, with air directed into the interior of the housing. The variable frequency air conditioner 1 controls the temperature and humidity within the housing 2, maintaining the temperature within the standard test temperature and humidity. This allows the variable frequency air conditioner 1 to maintain a constant temperature within the standard test temperature and humidity within a relatively small space, reducing waiting time for temperature test personnel, increasing their work efficiency, and avoiding secondary temperature control energy consumption. The front of the box 2 is equipped with a door 5. Inside, four layers of trays 3 are mounted. Each layer of trays 3 is divided into several compartments, each measuring >60 cm long and >4 cm wide. Since the daily output of zone-melted germanium ingots fluctuates, and each ingot weighs 3.8 kg and is 60 cm long and 4 cm wide, the box 2 must be able to withstand a weight of at least 150 kg. Furthermore, the airtight box 2 prevents temperature loss, which could cause the temperature to drop below the standard temperature and humidity within a short period of time. Fluororubber pads 6 are placed on the side walls of the compartments and on the bottom of the trays to prevent surface damage caused by collisions between the germanium ingots and the trays 3. Fluororubber is soft and wear-resistant, effectively protecting the integrity of the germanium ingots. The box 2 also houses a digital thermometer 7 and hygrometer 8. The probes for the thermometers 7 and hygrometer 8 are located inside the box 2, and their displays are located on the outer wall of the box 2. These two meters constantly indicate whether the temperature and humidity within the box 2 are within the standard detection range, allowing the variable-frequency air conditioner 1 to be adjusted to achieve the standard detection temperature.
