Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heaters, specifically to graphite heaters. Background Technology
[0002] Graphite possesses excellent thermal conductivity, making it widely used in heaters. Graphite boats used for heating crystalline silicon employ graphite-based bottom heaters. These heaters provide a stable heat source and rapidly transfer heat to the object being heated, achieving efficient heating. However, currently used graphite bottom heaters, due to factors such as the structural design of various components, may result in uneven temperature distribution of the heated object during the heating process, further affecting the heating effect and the quality of subsequent products. Therefore, the design of commonly used graphite bottom heaters needs to be improved to enhance heating uniformity. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a bottom heater based on the optimized heating characteristics of graphite.
[0004] The present invention can solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems by adopting the following technical solution:
[0005] The graphite resistor and two terminals are integrated into one structure;
[0006] The graphite resistor adopts a double-row resistor strip structure;
[0007] Two resistor bars are arranged side by side, and each end of the two resistor bars is connected to two terminals respectively;
[0008] The resistor bar adopts a strip structure with at least two S-shaped bends;
[0009] The S-shaped bend includes a strip section and a bend section;
[0010] Two strip sections are connected to the two ends of a curved section;
[0011] The resistor bar has at least three S-shaped bends of different lengths, which are classified according to length as short S-shaped bend, medium S-shaped bend, and long S-shaped bend;
[0012] The two resistor bars are set in opposite directions;
[0013] One of the resistor bars has short S-shaped bends, medium S-shaped bends, and long S-shaped bends arranged from left to right;
[0014] The other resistor bar is arranged from left to right with long S-shaped bends, medium S-shaped bends, and short S-shaped bends;
[0015] The short S-shaped bends and long S-shaped bends in one resistor strip are arranged close together with the long S-shaped bends and short S-shaped bends in another resistor strip, respectively, with gaps between them.
[0016] The two S-shaped bends in the two resistor bars are arranged far apart with a gap, and there is a window between the two S-shaped bends.
[0017] In the above design, the distance between the two S-shaped bends in the two resistor bars is 255-265mm, and the distance between the short S-shaped bend and the long S-shaped bend in each resistor bar is 170-180mm. A window with a width of 255-265mm and a length of 170-180mm is formed at the center of the graphite heater. Its beneficial effect is to reduce the failure caused by the heated object heating up too quickly in a localized area or by uneven heating.
[0018] Furthermore, the arrangement of S-shaped bends of varying lengths side by side has the beneficial effect of reducing the induced magnetic field at various points on the resistance strip, thus ensuring that the objects in the heater are heated evenly.
[0019] Furthermore, the width of the S-shaped curved line is 25-30mm, and the gap width between the lines is 15-20mm. Its beneficial effect is that it keeps the hot resistance of the heater in the range of 24-28mΩ, which can ensure rapid heating of the heater and reduce malfunctions caused by excessive local heating of the heated object.
[0020] Furthermore, the bottom heater has a density ≥1.78 cm³. 3 Flexural strength ≥ 40 MPa.
[0021] In the above design, the heater has a higher density and higher flexural strength. Its beneficial effects are, firstly, to improve the thermal conductivity of the heater; and secondly, to make the heater more durable and extend its service life. Attached Figure Description
