[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] The utility model provides Figure 1-3The high-temperature argon gas deoxygenation device shown includes a draft tube 2 and an inner tube 3 installed inside the draft tube 2;

[0022] A fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected between the guide tube 2 and the upper outer wall of the inner tube 3;

[0023] A through hole 1 is provided on the outer wall of the lower end of the draft tube 2. When the high-temperature argon flows through the liquid surface, the temperature difference is smaller than that of the room-temperature argon, and the heat exchange with the liquid surface is reduced, which can reduce the shaking of the liquid surface. Therefore, the argon flow rate can be increased on the original basis, taking away more oxygen atoms. The argon enters the interior of the draft tube 2 through the through hole 1 and transfers oxygen under the guidance of the inner tube 3, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing oxygen.

[0024] A separation groove 10 is provided inside the fixed plate 4 to separate the guide tube 2 and the inner tube 3. A gear a6 is provided on the upper side of the inner tube 3. A gear b11 is engaged with the right side of the gear a6. A drive motor 13 is provided on the upper side of the gear b11 to drive the gear b11 to rotate. The drive motor 13 is electrically connected to an external power supply. When guiding the movement of oxygen, the drive motor 13 drives the gear b11 to rotate, and the gear b11 drives the gear a6 to rotate. During the rotation process, the gear a6 will synchronously drive the inner tube 3 separated by the separation groove 10 to rotate, thereby accelerating the oxygen delivery speed.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the lower end of the driving motor 13 is provided with a driving shaft 12 that penetrates downwardly into the interior of the gear b11 to drive the gear b11 to rotate, a positioning shaft 7 is provided between the gear a6 and the fixed plate 4 to limit the position of the gear a6, and a fixing groove 8 is provided on the left side of the dividing groove 10 and inside the fixed plate 4. The inner wall of the right end of the dividing groove 10 is fixedly connected with a fixing ring 9 that penetrates to the left into the fixing groove 8 to limit the position of the inner cylinder 3 after being separated by the dividing groove 10.

[0026] The driving motor 13 transmits kinetic energy to the gear b11 through the driving shaft 12, causing the gear b11 to rotate. The position of the gear a6 can be limited by the positioning shaft 7, and at the same time, it is connected and fixed to the inner cylinder 3. When the inner cylinder 3 rotates, the rotation position of the inner cylinder 3 is guaranteed by the restriction and guidance of the fixing groove 8 and the fixing ring 9.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer walls of the left and right ends of the driving motor 13 are fixedly connected with connecting plates 14, and the lower sides of the two connecting plates 14 are provided with upward penetrating fixing screws 15 to limit the position of the driving motor 13. The gear a6 and the gear b11 are meshed with each other, and the gear a6 and the gear b11 are on the same horizontal line.

[0028] By abutting the connecting plate 14 against a suitable installation position and inserting the fixing screw 15, the position of the driving motor 13 can be fixed, and the gears a6 and b11 that mesh with each other and remain on the same horizontal line can ensure smooth rotation.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner cylinder 3 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise according to the driving direction of the driving motor 13, and the gear a6 and the gear b11 are both made of stainless steel.

[0030] The oxygen content circulation rate is controlled by different rotation lines and speeds. Gears a6 and b11 made of stainless steel are hard in texture and suitable for long-term use.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper outer wall of the fixing plate 4 is provided with fixing holes 5 passing through from top to bottom, near the left and right sides respectively, and the guide cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3 are both inclined.

[0032] The guide tube 2 can be fixed at a corresponding position in the single crystal furnace by cooperating between the fixing hole 5 and the external fixing bolts. The inclined guide tube 2 and the inner tube 3 can increase the speed of oxygen flow.

[0033] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: when high-temperature argon flows through the liquid surface, the temperature difference is smaller than that of normal-temperature argon, and the heat exchange with the liquid surface is reduced, which can reduce the jitter of the liquid surface. Therefore, the argon flow rate can be increased on the original basis to take away more oxygen atoms and enter the guide tube 2 through the port 1. Under the guidance of the inner tube 3, the oxygen is transferred to achieve the purpose of oxygen reduction. When guiding the movement of oxygen, the gear b11 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 13, and the gear b11 drives the gear a6 to rotate. During the rotation process, the gear a6 will synchronously drive the inner tube 3 separated by the separation groove 10 to rotate, thereby accelerating the oxygen delivery speed.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
