Thus, the seed crystal rod and the quartz tube are kept relatively centered. The clamping assembly is made of polytetrafluoroethylene and is made with a hole in the middle. The hole diameter is required to be the same as the inner diameter of the insert block and the quartz tube. The first clamping block and the second clamping block clamp the seed crystal rod.

Simultaneously, the fixing plate moves the pin, causing the first clamping block and the second clamping block to overlap, so that the insert plate on the second clamping block is inserted into the slot on the first clamping block. Then, the pull block is released, and the spring force causes the fixing plate to return to its original position. The pin is inserted into the through hole on the top surface of the insert plate. Through this design, the first clamping block and the second clamping block in the centering clamp assembly are effectively overlapped and fixed together, preventing separation and greatly improving practicality and performance.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a crystal furnace seed crystal rod centering tool, including a motor chuck 1 and a quartz tube 3, wherein a seed crystal rod 2 is provided on the motor chuck 1, and a centering clamp assembly 4 is provided on the top of the quartz tube 3, and a fixing assembly 5 is provided on the centering clamp assembly 4;

[0027] The centering clamp assembly 4 includes a first clamping block 41 and a second clamping block 43. An insert 42 is fixedly installed on the top of both the first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43. A through groove is provided on the first clamping block 41, the second clamping block 43 and the insert 42. The radius of the first clamping block 41 is equal to the radius of the second clamping block 43.

[0028] The specific implementation method is as follows: First, the centering clamp assembly 4 and the quartz tube 3 are ensured to be in the same center. Then, the seed crystal rod 2 is ensured to be in the same center with the first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43 through the holes provided on the first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43, thereby achieving the purpose of keeping the seed crystal rod 2 and the quartz tube 3 relatively centered. The material used for the centering clamp assembly 4 is polytetrafluoroethylene. It is made with a hole in the middle. The hole diameter is required to be the same as the inner diameter of the insert 42 and the quartz tube 3. The first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43 clamp the seed crystal rod 2. Then, the first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43 slide down, so that the insert 42 falls into the quartz tube 3.

[0029] The fixing component 5 includes a pull block 53, a pull rod 54 fixedly installed at the bottom of the pull block 53, a fixing plate 56 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the pull rod 54, a spring 55 fitted on the outer wall of the pull rod 54, the bottom end of the spring 55 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate 56, the top end of the spring 55 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first clamping block 41, a pin 57 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the fixing plate 56, an insert plate 51 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second clamping block 43, an insertion hole provided on the upper surface of the insert plate 51, and a slot 52 provided on the outer wall of the first clamping block 41.

[0030] The specific implementation method is as follows: First, pull the pull block 53. The pull block 53 drives the fixed plate 56 to move upward through the pull rod 54. At the same time, the fixed plate 56 squeezes the spring 55 to form a compressed state. The fixed plate 56 drives the pin 57 to move simultaneously. Then, the first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43 are overlapped, so that the insert plate 51 provided on the second clamping block 43 is inserted into the slot 52 provided on the first clamping block 41. Then, release the pull block 53. The spring force of the spring 55 makes the fixed plate 56 return to its original position, and the pin 57 is inserted into the through hole provided on the top surface of the insert plate 51.

[0031] Working principle: First, the centering clamp assembly 4 and the quartz tube 3 are ensured to be in the same center. Then, the seed crystal rod 2 is further aligned with the first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43 by passing through holes in them. This achieves the goal of keeping the seed crystal rod 2 and the quartz tube 3 relatively centered. The centering clamp assembly 4 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and has a centrally drilled hole with a diameter matching the inner diameter of the insert block 42 and the quartz tube 3. The first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43 clamp the seed crystal rod 2, and then the first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43 slide down. The two clamping blocks 43 cause the insert 42 to fall into the quartz tube 3. First, pull the pull block 53. The pull block 53 drives the fixing plate 56 to move upward through the pull rod 54. At the same time, the fixing plate 56 squeezes the spring 55 to form a compressed state. The fixing plate 56 drives the pin 57 to move simultaneously. Then, the first clamping block 41 and the second clamping block 43 are overlapped, so that the insert plate 51 set on the second clamping block 43 is inserted into the slot 52 set on the first clamping block 41. Then, the pull block 53 is released, and the fixing plate 56 is reset by the elastic force of the spring 55. The pin 57 is inserted into the through hole set on the top surface of the insert plate 51.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
