[0041] Example 2 further optimizes the automatic sintering device for quartz boats provided in Example 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side panel fixing sintering mechanism 2 includes a drive unit set at the top of the cabinet 1. The drive unit is connected to a first support plate 204. A graphite mold 205 is installed on the side of the first support plate 204 near the slot bar fixing mechanism 3. Several limiting plates 206 are bolted to the side of the graphite mold 205 near the slot bar fixing mechanism 3. The limiting plates 206 and the graphite mold 205 cooperate to support and limit the side panel.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, a vertical plate 207 is installed on the top of the cabinet 1. A first cylinder 208 is installed on one side of the vertical plate 207. The piston rod of the first cylinder 208 is connected to a second cylinder 209. The piston rod of the second cylinder 209 is connected to a clamp 210.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second cylinder 209 is located above the graphite mold 205, and the clamp 210 cooperates with the limiting plate 206 and the graphite mold 205 to fix the side plate.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a second support plate 217 is fixedly installed on both sides of the first support plate 204. A support frame 211 is installed on the side of the second support plate 217 near the groove bar fixing mechanism 3. A second lead screw 212 is installed in the support frame 211 through a bearing. A second motor 213 is provided between one side of the support frame 211 and the second lead screw 212. The second motor 213 is used to drive the second lead screw 212 to rotate.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer surface of the second motor 213 is threadedly connected to the first transmission block 214. A connecting plate 215 is mounted on the first transmission block 214. Two welding guns 216 are connected to the connecting plate 215. During the rotation of the second lead screw 212, the first transmission block 214 can be driven to move. The first transmission block 214 can drive the connecting plate 215 to move horizontally. Each welding gun 216 has two gun heads.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive unit includes two first support bases 201 mounted on the top of the cabinet 1. A first lead screw 202 is disposed between the two first support bases 201. One end of the first lead screw 202 is connected to a first motor 203. A second transmission block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first lead screw 202, and the second transmission block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first support plate 204. The first motor 203 drives the first lead screw 202 to rotate, so that the first support plate 204 can move closer to or away from the slot bar fixing mechanism 3, thereby allowing the side plate to move towards the slot bar.

[0048] Example 3 further optimizes the automatic sintering device for quartz boats provided in Example 1 or 2. Specifically, the slot bar fixing mechanism 3 includes two first clamps 301 installed on the top of the cabinet 1 and two third cylinders 303. The two third cylinders 303 are located on both sides of the two first clamps 301 respectively. The piston rods of the two third cylinders 303 are connected to second clamps 304. The second clamps 304 can drive the second clamps 304 to move towards or away from the first clamps 301.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, two third support plates 305 are installed on the side of the second clamping seat 304 near the first clamping seat 301. Multiple second clamping blocks 306 are installed on each of the two third support plates 305. Two rows of first clamping blocks 302 are installed on the side of the first clamping seat 301 near the third support plate 305. The first clamping blocks 302 and the second clamping blocks 306 cooperate to clamp the grooved bar, thereby fixing the grooved bar.
[0050] The usage process of the automatic sintering device for quartz boats provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0051] The tops of the two worktables 4 are used to place the side plates and the slotted bar, respectively. The side plates are placed at the positions corresponding to the suction cups 502, while the slotted bar is placed in the slots 401. The robotic arm 5 uses the suction cups 502 to hold the side plates and place them on the graphite mold 205. The second cylinder 209 drives the clamp 210 to clamp the side plates. The robotic arm 5 uses the pneumatic grippers 501 to pick up the slotted bar. The slotted bar moves between the second clamping block 306 and the first clamping block 302. The third cylinder 303 pushes the second clamping seat 304 to move, so that the second clamping block 306 and the first clamping block 302 clamp the slotted bar. The first motor... 203 drives the first lead screw 202 to rotate, so that the first support plate 204 can move closer to the groove bar fixing mechanism 3, so that the side plate contacts the groove bar. The second motor 213 drives the second lead screw 212 to rotate, so that the first transmission block 214 and the connecting plate 215 drive the welding gun 216 to move closer to the part where the side plate contacts the groove bar. The welding gun 216 moves back and forth at the welding point of the side plate and the groove bar until it melts. The two side plates are squeezed together towards the middle under the drive of the side plate fixing sintering mechanism 2. Then the flame is turned off, the robotic arm 5 clamps the quartz boat, and the clamp 210 is released to remove the processed quartz boat.
