Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of single crystal furnace chassis, specifically a single crystal furnace chassis structure. Background Technology
[0002] A single crystal furnace is a device that melts polycrystalline materials such as polycrystalline silicon using a graphite heater in an inert gas environment and grows dislocation-free single crystals through the Czochralski method. It plays a crucial role in the production of high-purity single crystal materials. The main components of a single crystal furnace include a lifting head, auxiliary chamber, furnace cover, furnace cylinder, lower furnace cylinder, furnace bottom plate, base frame, crucible lower transmission device, water distributor and water circuit arrangement, argon gas pipeline arrangement, vacuum pump and vacuum dust removal system, power supply and electrical control cabinet, etc. These components work together to ensure the normal operation of the single crystal furnace. With the deepening promotion of intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing concepts, the automation, intelligence, and environmental protection of single crystal furnaces will become future development trends.
[0003] Existing patent CN202221089178.4, entitled "A Single Crystal Furnace Cooling System," features "a method for implementing a second cooling device, wherein high-temperature furnace air in the single crystal furnace first enters the first heat exchange tube and exchanges heat with water in the water tank, thereby completing the first stage of cooling. Then, the furnace air that has completed the first stage of cooling enters the sealed cooling box and exchanges heat with water in the second heat exchange tube. Finally, the furnace air that has completed the second stage of cooling returns to the single crystal furnace through the second docking shell." However, it still has some shortcomings. For example, when the cooler used is working, the cooling effect changes rapidly as it moves away from the cooler, resulting in excessive temperature differences in some areas of the chassis. Furthermore, it cannot separately control the temperature of the outer and inner rings of the chassis according to requirements. Therefore, a single crystal furnace chassis structure is proposed.

Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0031] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention proposes a single crystal furnace chassis structure, including a chassis 1. A cooling groove 2 is provided on the front of the chassis 1. An array of partition members is provided on the inner side of the cooling groove 2. The centers of the partition members coincide. Each partition member is composed of two partitions 3. The centers of the two partitions 3 in the same group coincide. There is a gap between the two partitions 3 in the same group. The gap between the two partitions 3 is more than 1 cm.
[0032] The cooling tank 2 has an inner ring 8 in the middle, and an annular frame 14 is provided on the inner side of the inner ring 8. The chassis 1 has a plurality of locking grooves 12 recessed in it, and a locking post 10 is provided in the locking groove 12. The partition 3 has a plurality of locking frames 11. The locking grooves 12 match the locking frames 11. The top of the locking post 10 is provided with an elliptical seat, and the outer side of the elliptical seat is wrapped with rubber.
[0033] The ring frame 14 is provided with a honeycomb structure, which is composed of several hexagonal ring structures. The hexagonal ring structure is made up of short pipes of the same length spliced together, and the short pipes are connected to their adjacent short pipes.
[0034] The partition 3 is an arc-shaped plate, and the distance between the partitions 3 on different partition components is more than 2 cm;
[0035] The liquid can flow through the channels separated by the partitions 3.
[0036] The cooling component 13 is provided with three annular frames 14 and several annular frames 2 15. The inner bottom wall of the cooling tank 2 is provided with three mounting holes 7, which correspond to the annular frames 14.
[0037] Installation hole 7 and ring frame 14 are reserved for the installation of subsequent equipment.
[0038] The bottom of the locking frame 11 is provided with a locking groove 6, which is inserted into the corresponding locking post 10. The locking groove 6 includes a straight groove 601, a locking cavity 602 and an insertion hole 603. The top of the straight groove 601 is provided with a locking cavity 602, and the bottom of the straight groove 601 is provided with an insertion hole 603. The insertion hole 603 is funnel-shaped, and the locking cavity 602 is rugby ball-shaped. The shape of the locking cavity 602 matches the shape of the top of the locking post 10, and the top of the locking post 10 is inserted into the locking cavity 602.
[0039] By utilizing the locking pin 10, locking bracket 11, locking groove 12 and locking groove 6, the partition 3 can be quickly locked to the chassis 1.
[0040] The chassis 1 has a slot for insertion, and an electrode 19 is inserted into the slot. A mounting sleeve 20 is fitted on the outer side of the bottom of the electrode 19. The upper side of the electrode 19 abuts against the second mounting plate 17, and the lower side of the electrode 19 abuts against the first mounting plate 16. The second mounting plate 17 and the first mounting plate 16 are connected by a connecting bolt 18. One end of the connecting bolt 18 is threaded with a lock nut. The mounting sleeve 20 is sandwiched between the first mounting plate 16 and the chassis 1.
[0041] The electrode 19 is locked onto the chassis 1 using mounting plate 16, mounting plate 17, connecting bolts 18 and mounting cylinder 20. At the same time, the mounting cylinder 20 can control and reduce the portion of the electrode 19 extending out of the furnace bottom. The inner ring 8 is located in the inner ring, and the portion outside the inner ring 8 is the outer ring.
[0042] The chassis 1 has a support foot 5 connected to each side by a connecting rib 4, and the cooling tank 2 can also have positioning slots 9 on both sides.
[0043] The specific implementation method is as follows: water channels are formed between the partitions, and liquid water is introduced into the water channels. The gap between the two partitions 3 of the same partition can be filled with liquid water. At the same time, liquid water is introduced into the cooling component 13 and discharged from the edge of the cooling component 13. By utilizing the water channels formed between the partitions and the cooling component 13, two independent water system systems are formed to meet the cooling needs of different areas of the furnace body, avoiding space waste and reducing energy waste.
[0044] By reducing the portion of electrode 19 extending beyond the furnace bottom, the direct contact area between this area and the water-cooling jacket is decreased, thereby reducing the heat loss from the insulation system due to water cooling. This change significantly improves the insulation performance inside the single crystal furnace, resulting in a more stable furnace temperature, which is beneficial for high-quality single crystal growth. Due to the reduced unnecessary heat loss, the insulation system can effectively maintain the temperature range, improving temperature control accuracy and stability. With the improved insulation system performance, the current power of the heating heaters required to maintain the furnace temperature can be correspondingly reduced. This change reduces energy consumption, achieving the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction.
[0045] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.
[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
