Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicon wafer production and processing technology, specifically an 8-inch vertical furnace gas injection pipe that is easy to connect quickly. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of elemental silicon using a vertical furnace, silane is injected into the furnace through a gas injection pipe, where it decomposes at high temperatures to obtain elemental silicon and hydrogen. Elemental silicon readily adheres to the inner and outer walls of the gas injection pipe, forming a silicon film, which generates stress on the inner and outer surfaces. As the silicon film thickens due to the reaction, the quartz gas injection pipe is prone to breakage due to the internal and external stresses. After breakage, the injection pipe body must be removed from the connector, and a new injection pipe body must be inserted and fixed onto the connector before being reused in the vertical furnace.

[0003] In existing gas injection pipes, the base of the injection pipe body is usually connected to the joint by adhesive, which makes it cumbersome to remove the broken injection pipe body. After installing the new injection pipe body, it is still necessary to wait for the adhesive to dry and stabilize, which takes a long time and is not conducive to the rapid replacement of broken gas injection pipes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an 8-inch vertical furnace gas injection pipe that is easy to connect quickly, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of gas injection pipe replacement and maintenance.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the specific solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an 8-inch vertical furnace gas injection pipe that is easy to connect quickly, including a connector and an injection pipe body whose base is inserted and fixed on the connector. The outer periphery of the base of the injection pipe body is provided with a slot, and the connector is provided with an installation port for exposing the slot. A locking block and a clamp are also provided at the installation port. The locking block is used to pass through the installation port and engage with the slot, and the clamp is used to hook the locking block and hold it on the connector to position the locking block.

[0006] Preferably, both the connector and the spray pipe body have circular cross-sections.

[0007] Preferably, both the card slot and the mounting opening are rectangular.

[0008] Preferably, the clamp is arc-shaped and its outer diameter corresponds to that of the connector; the clamp is arc-shaped and its inner diameter corresponds to that of the connector.

[0009] Preferably, the inner side of the card block has a protrusion for insertion into the card slot, and the thickness of the protrusion corresponds to the width of the card slot.

[0010] Preferably, the angle of the clamp is 185°-190°.

[0011] Preferably, a hook hole is provided on the outer side of one end of the card block, and a hook body is provided on the clamp that can be inserted into the hook hole to hook the card block.

[0012] Preferably, the end of the clamp away from the hook is turned outward to form a flange.

[0013] Preferably, the joints, clamps, and clamps are all made of 316L stainless steel.

[0014] The present invention features a slot on the main body of the injection pipe and an installation port through the connector. The locking block is inserted into the slot via the installation port and then secured to the connector with a clamp. This makes the removal and installation of the injection pipe on the connector extremely convenient and quick, thereby improving the maintenance and replacement of broken gas injection pipes and significantly increasing maintenance efficiency.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment has the same main structure as the conventional gas injection pipe for injecting silane gas in a vertical furnace, both including a structure at the bottom and an injection pipe body 1 whose base is inserted into the connector 2. The base is made of 316L stainless steel, and the injection pipe body is made of quartz. Unlike the conventional method of gluing the injection pipe body 1 to the connector 2, in this embodiment, the base of the injection pipe and the connector 2 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, which greatly improves the efficiency of disassembly and installation. Specifically:

[0020] like Figure 2As shown, a rectangular groove 3 distributed laterally is provided at the base of the injection pipe body 1. The groove 3 does not penetrate the wall thickness of the injection pipe body 1 to avoid leakage. A rectangular mounting port 4 distributed laterally is provided on the connector 2. The mounting port 4 penetrates the wall thickness of the connector 2 so that the groove 3 can be exposed through the mounting port 4. The base of the injection pipe body 1 is positioned and installed on the connector 2 by a locking block 7 and a clamp 8, both made of 316L stainless steel.

[0021] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the outer periphery of the locking block 7 is arc-shaped and corresponds to the outer diameter of the connector 2, and its length corresponds to the mounting port 4, allowing it to be inserted precisely into the mounting port 4 to fill the position of the mounting port 4 of the connector 2. The inner side of the locking block 7 has a protrusion 10 that can be inserted into the slot 3. The thickness of the protrusion 10 corresponds to the width of the slot 3, thereby preventing the jet pipe body 1 from moving longitudinally. The clamp 8 is an arc-shaped clamp with an angle greater than 180 degrees. The inner side of its left end has a hook 6, which can be hooked and engaged with the hook hole 5 opened on the outer side of the left end of the locking block 7. The right end can be clamped onto the connector 2 under external force to position the locking block 7 and prevent the locking block 7 from falling off from the mounting port 4. In addition, for easy removal, the right end of the clamp 8 has a flange 9 that flips outward, so that personnel can pry the clamp 8 outward to remove the clamp 8 and the locking block 7, or pry the clamp 8 inward to install the clamp 8 and the locking block 7.
