[0003] At present, the main preparation of large aperture optical grade quartz glass is chemical vapor deposition technology, the method is: hydrogen, oxygen, SiCl4 are passed into the burner (hydrogen oxygen burner) together, wherein hydrogen and oxygen are first burned to form high temperature flame, then SiCl4 reacts in the flame and generates SiO2, SiO2 further nucleates and grows into nanoparticles, finally the particles are deposited to form quartz glass ingot.
[0004] In the process of synthesizing fused quartz glass by using chemical vapor deposition technology, due to the vortex backflow in the hearth, the furnace wall, the furnace top and even the burner shell are easy to stick to the flying material, and with the increase of melting time, part of the flying material will fall on the material surface to produce small bubbles on the surface of quartz ingot, thereby affecting the quality of fused quartz glass; When it is serious, the flying material accumulates too much, and the whole block falls on the material surface, resulting in the damage of the whole block of quartz glass. Therefore, in order to realize long time stable production of high quality glass quartz ingot, it is necessary to stop the flying material from sticking to the furnace top and the burner along the flow field.

[0018] The burner is composed of oxygen warehouse 1, hydrogen warehouse 2, downcomer 3 and lamp shell 4, the central part of oxygen warehouse 1 is penetrated by material preservation pipe 5 and downcomer 3, and the material preservation pipe 5 and downcomer 3 extending to the upper part of oxygen warehouse 1 are arranged in an up-down manner and connected with each other in a fish-belly shape, the fish-belly-shaped downcomer 3 is arranged in a sealed manner with oxygen warehouse 1, and the purpose of arranging downcomer 3 in a fish-belly shape is to form a buffer effect on the raw material to prevent the raw material from blocking the core of downcomer 3 due to pressure; the purpose of arranging material preservation pipe 5 in a fish-belly shape is to effectively increase the internal pressure of material preservation pipe 5, thereby improving the gas flow rate in material preservation pipe 5.
[0019] The purpose of arranging material preservation pipe 5 on downcomer 3 is to prevent the raw material (SiCl4) in downcomer 3 from reacting with the external hydrogen-oxygen flame too early and blocking the core of downcomer 3.
[0020] Material preservation pipe 5 and downcomer 3 are arranged in a concentric parallel manner, which is to avoid the deviation of the material line guided by the material preservation gas to one side, thereby causing the growth of accumulated material on one side of oxygen combustion pipe 7 and lamp shell 4, resulting in the problem of dropping points (dropping of accumulated material), and even burning out the burner due to the overall flame deviation in severe cases.
[0021] The upper part of material preservation pipe 5 is externally connected with oxygen communication pipe 9, high-purity oxygen is introduced into material preservation pipe 5 through oxygen communication pipe 9 as material preservation gas, and the gas amount of material preservation pipe 5 is less than that of oxygen combustion pipe 7, thereby avoiding the situation that when the gas amount of material preservation pipe 5 is greater than that of oxygen combustion pipe 7, the raw material still does not react after reaching the target surface.
[0022] Oxygen warehouse 1 is externally connected with oxygen communication pipe 9, high-purity oxygen is introduced into oxygen warehouse 1 through oxygen communication pipe 9, the internal cavity of oxygen warehouse 1 stores high-purity oxygen to increase the internal pressure of oxygen warehouse 1, and the inner cavity formed between oxygen warehouse 1 and partition 6 is a sealed cavity, a plurality of oxygen combustion pipes 7 are arranged in a three-layer annular array on partition 6, and oxygen combustion pipes 7 penetrate partition 6 and communicate with oxygen warehouse 1.
[0023] The lower port of oxygen warehouse 1 is sealed with partition 6, and a plurality of oxygen combustion pipes 7 communicating with oxygen warehouse 1 are arranged in an annular stacked manner on partition 6, in working condition, high-purity oxygen in oxygen warehouse 1 enters a plurality of oxygen combustion pipes 7 under the action of pressure, to facilitate subsequent use as combustion-supporting gas.
[0024] Hydrogen warehouse 2 is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of oxygen warehouse 1, and the lower ports of oxygen combustion pipe 7, material preservation pipe 5 and downcomer 3 are arranged in a flush manner.
[0025] The lower end of the oxygen combustion pipe 7, the material storage pipe 5 and the lower end of the material discharge pipe 3 are staggered with the lower end of the hydrogen gas chamber 2, which is to prevent external impurities from entering the burner while ensuring that hydrogen gas is fully dispersed into the hydrogen gas chamber and fully mixed with oxygen.
[0026] The hydrogen gas chamber 2 is externally connected with a hydrogen source through a hydrogen communication pipe 10, and the hydrogen gas chamber 2 is sleeved with a lamp shell 4 on the outer circumference. The lamp shell 4 is a variable-diameter tubular body, and the lower end of the lamp shell 4 is in a plugging state. Six purge pipes 11 are uniformly distributed on the circumference of the plugging lamp shell 4 lower end at an angle of 60 degrees. A purge chamber 8 is arranged between the lamp shell 4 and the hydrogen gas chamber 2, and the purge chamber 8 is a variable-diameter chamber with a large upper end and a small lower end. The purpose is to effectively increase the internal pressure of the purge chamber 8, thereby increasing the flow rate of high-purity oxygen in the purge chamber 8.
[0027] The purge chamber 8 is in communication with the purge pipe 11, and the purge chamber 8 is in communication with an oxygen source through an oxygen communication pipe 9. The oxygen source introduces high-purity oxygen into the purge chamber 8. The pipe opening of the purge pipe 11 is in the shape of a flat fish mouth, which is to increase the output flow rate of the purge gas.
[0028] The burner is installed on the hearth through the lamp shell 4, and the position of the opening of the purge pipe 11 is slightly higher than the bottom end of the lamp shell 4, so as to prevent the partial outward drift of the flame from burning the pipe opening and causing the pipe opening of the purge pipe 11 to be blocked. When the burner is performing the purging operation, the oxygen source injects high-purity oxygen into the purge chamber 8 through the oxygen communication pipe 9, which generates pressure in the purge chamber 8, and then the purge gas is blown out into the hearth through the purge pipe 11. The outer circle of the purge pipe 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the furnace top, so that the purge gas can be blown along the inner wall of the furnace, which can guide the internal airflow to the air exhaust port of the furnace to the greatest extent, thereby avoiding the vortex backflow in the hearth, which can cause the deposition of flying material on the burner and the furnace top, and the problem of falling of the flying material. This effectively solves the problem that the vortex backflow in the existing hearth easily causes the adhesion of flying material, and the falling of the flying material can cause small air bubbles on the surface of the quartz ingot or the whole piece of quartz glass to be damaged due to the whole piece of flying material falling on the material surface. Secondly, since the purge gas can guide part of the flying material in the furnace to move to the air exhaust port, the residence time of the flying material in the furnace is reduced, which effectively improves the airflow environment in the furnace, and is more conducive to the stable production of quartz glass ingots for a long time compared with ordinary burners.
