[0033] Referring to Figs. 1-3 An embodiment of the present application provides a gas inlet pipe installation tool for installing a gas inlet pipe into a furnace pipe. The gas inlet pipe installation tool includes a tool pipe, which includes a joint 200, a sleeve 100, and an elongated rod 300. One end of the sleeve 100 and one end of the elongated rod 300 are detachably connected through the joint 200. The sleeve 100 is used for inserting part of the gas inlet pipe, and the joint 200 is configured to abut the end of the gas inlet pipe inserted into the sleeve 100.

[0034] In actual use, first, the sleeve 100 and the elongated rod 300 are connected through the joint 200, then the sleeve 100 end of the tooling pipe is aligned with the furnace mouth position of the furnace pipe, then the tooling pipe is sequentially passed through the plurality of hangers along the length direction of the furnace pipe until the sleeve 100 of the tooling pipe extends out of the tail end cover of the furnace pipe; then one end of the air inlet pipe is extended into the sleeve 100, the air inlet pipe is slowly pushed in, so that the air inlet pipe abuts against the joint 200, the air inlet pipe is continuously pushed, the air inlet pipe can push the elongated rod 300 through the joint 200, drive the whole tooling pipe to move as a whole, so that the elongated rod 300 gradually exits from the furnace mouth until the whole air inlet pipe enters the furnace pipe, at this time, the tooling pipe can be pulled out.

[0035] In the embodiment, the air inlet pipe can push the tooling pipe out of the furnace pipe through the joint 200, and the furnace pipe can guide the air inlet pipe during the exiting process, so that the air inlet pipe can sequentially pass through the hangers, and the air inlet pipe can also prevent the hangers from being poked off or the quartz pieces such as the furnace pipe and the thermocouple sleeve from being damaged.

[0036] It should be noted that when the air inlet pipe pushes the tooling pipe, the tooling pipe can also be pulled outwards to reduce the pushing force of the air inlet pipe and prevent the air inlet pipe from being damaged. The air inlet pipe can be a silane air inlet pipe.

[0037] In some embodiments, the joint 200 includes an intermediate section 210 and two connecting sections 220 respectively arranged at both ends of the intermediate section 210, and the two connecting sections 220 respectively extend into the sleeve 100 and the elongated rod 300.

[0038] In the embodiment, compared with the mode that the connecting sections 220 are sleeved outside the sleeve 100, the two connecting sections 220 respectively extend into the sleeve 100 and the elongated rod 300, which can avoid that the connecting sections 220 are directly sleeved outside the sleeve 100, the connecting sections 220 form a step with the sleeve 100, and the step on the tooling pipe is clamped with the hangers during the process of pushing the tooling pipe by the air inlet pipe, which causes the problem that the air inlet pipe is difficult to push.

[0039] At the same time, the two connecting sections 220 respectively extend into the sleeve 100 and the elongated rod 300, that is, the pipe diameter of the whole tooling pipe does not need to be increased, and the tooling pipe is convenient to pass through the hangers.

[0040] Further, the connecting section 220 includes a first connecting section 221, a second connecting section 222 and a screw. The screw hole 223 is formed on the first connecting section 221 along the radial direction of the sleeve 100; the second connecting section 222 is arranged at a position spaced apart from the first connecting section 221 along the radial direction of the sleeve 100; and the screw passes through the screw hole 223 to push the second connecting section 222, so that the second connecting section 222 moves away from the side of the first connecting section 221.

[0041] In use, first, the part of the connecting segment 220 is extended into the sleeve 100, and then the screw on the connecting segment 220 is rotated to push the second connecting segment 222 on the connecting segment 220 by the screw, so that the second connecting segment 222 moves away from the corresponding first connecting segment 221, until the second connecting segment 222 abuts against the inner wall of the sleeve 100, that is, the connection of the connecting segment 220 and the sleeve 100 is completed. The extension rod 300 is connected in the same way.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second connecting segment 222 is an elastic plate, and the first connecting segment 221 and the second connecting segment 222 are connected with the middle segment 210.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second connecting segment 222 is an elastic plate, and when the second connecting segment 222 is pushed by the screw, the second connecting segment 222 is bent and deformed, so as to be inclined away from the first connecting segment 221.

[0044] In some other embodiments, the second connecting segment 222 cannot be deformed, so that the second connecting segment 222 is connected with the middle segment 210 in the radial direction of the sleeve 100, and when the second connecting segment 222 is pushed by the screw, the second connecting segment 222 slides away from the first connecting segment 221.

[0045] In some embodiments, the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300 are respectively provided with a relief hole 110, and the screw is used to extend into the screw hole 223 of the first connecting segment 221 from the relief hole 110.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the tooling pipe is installed, the two connecting segments 220 are respectively extended into the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300, until the screw hole 223 is aligned with the corresponding relief hole 110, and then the screw is installed to connect the connecting segment 220 with the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300, respectively.

[0047] In some embodiments, the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300 are mutually butted outside the middle segment 210, and the outer diameter of the sleeve 100 is the same as the outer diameter of the extension rod 300.

[0048] In this embodiment, the two connecting segments 220 are respectively extended into the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300, so that the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300 are mutually butted outside the joint 200, that is, the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300 are connected as a whole from the outer surface of the entire tooling pipe, so as to avoid that when the gap between the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300 is too large, the lifting ring is clamped in the gap, causing the tooling pipe to be difficult to push through the air inlet pipe.

[0049] It should be noted that as long as the distance between the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300 is less than or equal to the diameter of the lifting ring, that is, the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300 are connected outside the middle section 210.

[0050] Specifically, the outer diameter of the air inlet pipe is 10mm, and the outer diameter of the sleeve 100 and the extension rod 300 is 14mm-20mm. The extension rod 300 is made of aluminum alloy material with high hardness, which is used to prevent the extension rod 300 from deforming.

[0051] In other embodiments, the outer diameter of the sleeve 100 can also be smaller than the outer diameter of the extension rod 300, so that the sleeve 100 can be exposed from the hole on the tail end cover, and the outer diameter of the extension rod 300 is relatively large, which is used to prevent the extension rod 300 from deforming when it is extended into the furnace pipe. Specifically, the outer diameter of the sleeve 100 is 14mm, and the outer diameter of the extension rod 300 is 16mm-20mm.

[0052] In some embodiments, in combination with Fig. 1 , the extension rod 300 includes a plurality of rod sections 310 connected in sequence, and adjacent two rod sections 310 are detachably connected.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the tool pipe is pushed out of the furnace pipe through the air inlet pipe, one rod section 310 is pushed out, that is, one rod section 310 is detached, so as to avoid that when the entire extension rod 300 is pushed out of the furnace pipe, the length of the extension rod 300 is too long, which is easy to collide with the equipment outside the furnace pipe. Similarly, when the entire extension rod 300 is pushed out of the furnace pipe, the extension rod 300 can also be detached through the joint 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, in combination with Fig. 3 , the air inlet pipe installation tool further includes a support seat 400, and the support seat 400 is provided with a support rail, and the tool pipe is arranged on the support rail, and the support rail is used to support the tool pipe, so that the tool pipe has the same installation height as the air inlet pipe of the furnace pipe.

[0055] In this embodiment, the support seat 400 is made of high-temperature material. The support seat 400 is arranged at one end of the furnace pipe, and after the tool pipe is installed, the tool pipe is arranged on the support rail, and the tool pipe is pushed along the support rail, so that the tool pipe passes through the lifting ring in sequence. The support seat 400 is provided with a support rail on both sides, which is convenient for the installation of the air inlet pipe on both sides of the furnace pipe.

[0056] Further, the air inlet pipe installation tool further includes a height adjusting mechanism 500, and the support seat 400 is arranged on the height adjusting mechanism 500.

[0057] In this embodiment, the support seat 400 is arranged on the height adjusting mechanism 500, which is used to adjust the height of the support rail through the support seat 400, so as to make the height of the support rail the same as the height of the air inlet pipe at different positions.

[0058] The bottom of the support base 400 is provided with a plurality of screw holes, and a screw rod is installed in each screw hole. The height of the support base 400 can be adjusted by rotating the screw rod, and the level of the support base 400 can also be adjusted. The length of the screw rod is 50-200 mm.

[0059] In some other embodiments, the height of the support base 400 is constant, and the support rail is arranged on the height adjusting mechanism 500, and the height of the support rail can be adjusted by the height adjusting mechanism 500.

[0060] In some embodiments, the ratio of the length of the sleeve 100 to the length of the extension rod 300 is 1:4-1:6.

[0061] Specifically, the total length of the tool pipe is greater than or equal to the total length of the furnace pipe. For example, the total length of the furnace pipe is 3550 mm, and the total length of the tool pipe can be 3600 mm. The length of the sleeve 100 is 600 mm, and the length of the extension rod 300 is 3000 mm. The extension rod 300 includes three detachably connected rods, and the length of each rod is 1000 mm. The ratio of the length of the sleeve 100 to the length of the extension rod 300 is 1:4-1:6, which can avoid the deformation of the air inlet pipe when the air inlet pipe is pushed out of the sleeve 100, or the tool pipe is difficult to push through the air inlet pipe.

[0062] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are not described, but as long as the combination of the technical features does not exist contradictory, it should be considered as the scope of the present application.

[0063] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
