Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machinery, specifically to a graphite boat support rod technology. Background Technology

[0002] A graphite boat is a container made of high-purity graphite, possessing high-temperature resistance and chemical stability. The main purpose of high-purity graphite boats is to contain and carry substances in high-temperature environments, particularly in high-temperature reactions, metal smelting, semiconductor manufacturing, and chemical experiments. Its high purity and high-temperature resistance make it an important tool in these applications.

[0003] A graphite boat is formed by connecting a graphite disc and a graphite support rod by threads. The graphite disc is used to carry a graphite box, and the graphite support rod supports the weight of the graphite disc, the graphite box, and the workpiece being processed.

[0004] This type of graphite boat has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. However, the graphite disc is connected to the graphite support rod via threads, which makes it prone to rotation during use, leading to an unstable connection and affecting its operation. Furthermore, the weight of the graphite disc, graphite box, and the workpiece is concentrated on the graphite support rod. If the support rod's strength is insufficient, the graphite boat will malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a structurally reinforced graphite boat support rod to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model can be achieved by the following technical solution:

[0007] The structurally reinforced graphite boat support rod includes a graphite boat support rod with a hollow through hole inside as an airflow channel;

[0008] The upper part of the graphite boat support rod is provided with external threads, and the upper part of the graphite boat support rod is called the threaded end;

[0009] An arc-shaped groove with an arc angle of 120 to 240 degrees is vertically provided on the outer side of the threaded end;

[0010] The arc-shaped groove is provided with threads to form a half-sided threaded hole;

[0011] The depth of the semi-circular screw hole is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the length of the thread end;

[0012] The airflow channel of the graphite boat support rod is equipped with long, cross-shaped ribs;

[0013] The four outer edges of the cross-shaped ribs are all fixed to the inner wall of the airflow channel;

[0014] The upper end of the cross-shaped rib is flush with the upper end of the airflow channel, and the length of the cross-shaped rib is 1 / 2 to 4 / 5 of the length of the airflow channel.

[0015] In the above design, a portion of the threaded hole is vertically set on the outer side of the threaded end of the graphite boat support rod, and the remaining portion of the threaded hole is vertically set on the inner side of the internal thread of the graphite disk that mates with the graphite boat support rod. When the graphite boat support rod and the graphite disk are tightened, the portion of the threaded hole on the outer side of the threaded end of the graphite boat support rod and the portion of the threaded hole on the inner side of the internal thread of the graphite disk merge into a complete threaded hole. A graphite bolt is screwed into the threaded hole, securing the graphite boat support rod and the graphite disk. This design prevents the graphite boat support rod and the graphite disk from loosening, strengthens the connection structure between the graphite boat support rod and the graphite disk, and thus improves the support strength of the graphite boat support rod. The cross-shaped ribs set on the inner wall of the airflow channel of the graphite boat support rod also improve the structural strength of the graphite boat support rod.

[0016] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the top of the graphite boat support rod, and an airflow channel is provided at the bottom of the groove;

[0017] The bottom end of the graphite boat support rod is connected to a conical air pipe interface. The conical angle of the air pipe interface is 30 to 40 degrees. An air guide hole is provided inside the air pipe interface, and the air guide hole is connected to the airflow channel.

[0018] On the lower outer wall of the graphite boat support rod, there is also an oblique hole connected to the airflow channel as a vent. The opening of the vent on the inner wall of the airflow channel is lower than the lower end of the cross-shaped rib. The angle between the axis of the vent and the axis of the airflow channel is 44.5 to 45.5 degrees.

[0019] In the above design, a conical air pipe interface is connected to the bottom end of the graphite boat support rod. This interface allows for the connection of a protective gas, which is pressurized and introduced into the graphite boat through an airflow channel inside the support rod, thus protecting the workpiece inside. The airflow channel of the support rod also includes an oblique hole connecting to the outer wall of the support rod. This oblique hole allows the pressurized protective gas to escape when the outlet at the top of the support rod is blocked by the workpiece, preventing the pressure of the protective gas from pushing against the graphite boat and affecting the workpiece processing.

[0020] Furthermore, an annular protrusion is provided at the lower part of the threaded end;

[0021] It also includes a graphite sleeve, which is fitted onto the graphite boat support rod;

[0022] The top of the graphite sleeve is provided with a groove for fitting the protrusion. The protrusion is embedded in the groove, and the top of the graphite sleeve is flush with the upper surface of the protrusion.

[0023] The bottom end of the graphite sleeve is flush with the bottom end of the graphite boat support rod;

[0024] The inner wall of the graphite sleeve is also provided with an annular groove, and the opening of the vent hole on the outer wall of the graphite boat support rod faces the annular groove.

[0025] The bottom of the annular groove is provided with a horizontal straight hole that connects to the outer wall of the graphite sleeve.

[0026] In the above design, by fitting a sleeve onto the graphite boat support rod, the beneficial effect is to enhance the support strength of the graphite boat support rod; the sleeve has an annular groove on its inner wall, and the beneficial effect of the annular groove is that it connects to the vent hole, allowing the pressure of the protective gas to be discharged out of the airflow channel, preventing the pressure of the protective gas from rising and affecting the movement of the workpiece on the graphite boat.

[0027] Furthermore, the graphite boat support rod and the graphite sleeve are made of graphite material with the same coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0028] In the above design, the graphite boat support rod and the graphite sleeve are made of graphite material with the same coefficient of expansion. The advantage of this is that during the heating process, the graphite sleeve can be prevented from breaking due to different expansion systems.

[0029] This invention features a portion of threaded holes vertically arranged on the outer side of the external thread of a graphite boat support rod, and another portion of threaded holes arranged on the inner side of the internal thread of a graphite disc that matches the graphite boat support rod. When the graphite boat support rod and the graphite disc are tightened, the portion of threaded holes on the graphite boat support rod and the portion of threaded holes on the graphite disc merge into a complete threaded hole. A graphite bolt is screwed into the threaded hole to lock the graphite disc and the graphite boat support rod in place. This solves the problem of preventing loosening after the threaded connection between the graphite disc and the graphite boat support rod is tightened, thus strengthening the connection structure between the graphite boat support rod and the graphite disc and making the connection between the graphite boat support rod and the graphite disc more secure.

[0030] Its beneficial effect also lies in the fact that cross-shaped ribs are set in the airflow channel of the graphite boat support rod, which enhances the support strength of the graphite boat support rod.

[0031] Its beneficial effect also lies in the fact that a sleeve is provided on the outer sleeve of the graphite boat support rod, which enhances the support strength of the graphite boat support rod through the graphite boat support rod and the sleeve. Attached Figure Description

[0051] The four outer edges of the cross-shaped rib plate 8 are all fixed to the inner wall of the airflow channel 4;

[0052] The upper end of the cross-shaped rib 8 is flush with the upper end of the airflow channel 4, and the length of the cross-shaped rib 8 is 1 / 2 to 4 / 5 of the length of the airflow channel 4.
