[0002] Heating indium phosphide crystals is a crucial step in the indium phosphide crystal growth process. Indium phosphide crystals are typically heated using specialized heating devices, such as heating systems composed of multiple heating elements, which are placed on the crystal growth apparatus.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN213172683U (An Indium Phosphide Crystal Growth Device) includes a housing, a back plate fixedly connected to the top of the housing, a support frame fixedly connected to the top of the front of the back plate, a driving device fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a seed crystal fixing clamp fixedly connected to the bottom of the driving device, a limiting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the front of the back plate, a fixing plate movably connected to the inner side of the limiting plate, and a fixing screw threadedly connected to the front of the fixing plate. This indium phosphide crystal growth device allows the height of the placement stage to be adjusted by moving the fixing plate and fixing it with the fixing screw, enabling the indium phosphide crystal to fully enter the heating chamber. The moving wheels at the bottom of the moving plate assist in movement, shock-absorbing springs alleviate bumps during movement, and magnetic blocks prevent the moving plate from undulating back and forth, facilitating the movement of the equipment.

[0004] However, most existing indium phosphide crystal heating methods involve placing the crystals together directly, which can easily lead to accumulation and uneven heating. Therefore, this method does not meet the current requirements. To address this, we propose a fixing component for heating indium phosphide crystals. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a fixing assembly for heating indium phosphide crystals, comprising: a support base 1, the support base 1 having an internal placement groove 5 with three open ends, an adjustment assembly 2 having multiple adjustment assemblies 2, fixing assemblies 3 on both sides of the top of the support base 1, and movable grooves 6 on the upper surfaces of both ends of the support base 1, with limit grooves 7 on the inner walls of both sides of the movable grooves 6. The adjustment assembly 2 includes an adjustment frame 8 and a movable part 10, the adjustment frame 8 having connecting grooves 9 on both ends of its surface, and the movable part 10 located on one side of the connecting groove 9. The movable part 10 includes a connecting seat 11, one end of which has a connecting block 13 inserted into the connecting groove 9, and a pushing seat 12 on the upper surface of the connecting seat 11. Applying force to the pushing seat 12 facilitates the movement of the adjustment assembly 2. The movable part 10 also includes a movable seat 14 and a fixing sleeve 16. The movable seat 14 is located on the lower surface of the connecting seat 11. Limiting seats 15 are provided on both sides of the movable seat 14. The movable seat 14 and the limiting seats 15 move along the movable groove 6 and the limiting groove 7 respectively. The connecting block 13 is inserted into the connecting groove 9 to connect the movable part 10 with the adjusting frame 8, forming the adjusting component 2. When the adjusting component 2 is connected to the support seat 1, the adjusting frame 8 is inserted into the placement groove 5 of the support seat 1. The movable seat 14 and the limiting seats 15 move along the movable groove 6 and the limiting groove 7 respectively, thereby connecting the adjusting component 2 with the support seat 1. The limiting seats 15 prevent the adjusting component 2 from moving upward, improving stability. The movable part 10 and the adjusting frame 8 are detachably connected, which is also convenient for independent replacement and improves replacement convenience. Multiple adjusting components 2 are installed in the same way, and the indium phosphide crystals that need to be heated are placed between two adjusting frames 8, which is suitable for fixing indium phosphide crystals of different sizes, and they can be placed independently.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , 3 4. The fixing component 3 includes a positioning plate 17, which is welded and fixed to the support base 1. The surface of the positioning plate 17 near the top is provided with an adjustment groove 18. The fixing component 3 also includes a fixing knob 19, and the threaded end of the fixing knob 19 passes through the adjustment groove 18 and is threadedly fixed to the fixing sleeve 16. The fixing knob 19 moves along the adjustment groove 18 until it is aligned with the fixing sleeve 16. The threaded end of the fixing knob 19 passes through the adjustment groove 18 and is threadedly fixed to the fixing sleeve 16, thereby squeezing and fixing the adjusting component 2, which also fixes the indium phosphide crystal and prevents multiple indium phosphide crystals from moving and accumulating.

[0024] Please see Figure 1The bottom of the inner wall of the placement tank 5 is provided with a flow hole 4, which runs through the support base 1 from top to bottom. There are multiple flow holes 4. Both the placement tank 5 and the adjustment frame 8 are U-shaped. The support base 1 is placed into the existing indium phosphide crystal growth equipment for heating. The heated indium phosphide crystal falls through the flow hole 4. Since the placement tank 5 is U-shaped, it is easy for the indium phosphide crystal to fall after melting, and it is not easy for it to accumulate.

[0025] Working principle: In use, the connecting block 13 is inserted into the connecting groove 9 to connect the moving part 10 with the adjusting frame 8, forming the adjusting assembly 2. When the adjusting assembly 2 is connected to the support base 1, the adjusting frame 8 is inserted into the placement groove 5 of the support base 1. The moving base 14 and the limiting base 15 move along the moving groove 6 and the limiting groove 7 respectively, thereby connecting the adjusting assembly 2 with the support base 1. The limiting base 15 prevents the adjusting assembly 2 from moving upward, improving stability. The moving part 10 and the adjusting frame 8 are detachably connected, which also facilitates independent replacement and improves replacement convenience. Multiple adjusting assemblies 2 can be installed in the same way to place the indium phosphide crystals that need to be heated. Between the two adjusting brackets 8, indium phosphide crystals of different sizes are fixed and placed independently. Then, the fixing knob 19 moves along the adjusting groove 18 until it is aligned with the fixing sleeve 16. The threaded end of the fixing knob 19 passes through the adjusting groove 18 and is threadedly fixed to the fixing sleeve 16, thereby pressing and fixing the adjusting component 2, which also fixes the indium phosphide crystals and prevents multiple indium phosphide crystals from moving and accumulating. Then, the support base 1 is placed into the existing indium phosphide crystal growth equipment for heating. The heated indium phosphide crystals fall through the flow hole 4. Since the placement groove 5 is U-shaped, it is easy for the indium phosphide crystals to fall after melting and not easy to leave residues and accumulate.

[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
