DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0020] Please see Figs. 1-3 In this embodiment of the invention, a single-crystal furnace bottom that does not require water cooling includes a furnace bottom body 1. A heat reflector 2 is disposed above the furnace bottom body 1, with a gap between the heat reflector 2 and the furnace bottom body 1. A reflector support ring 3 is disposed between the heat reflector 2 and the furnace bottom body 1, and the heat reflector 2 is supported above the furnace bottom body 1 by the reflector support ring 3. Both sides of the heat reflector 2 are polished to a mirror finish to reduce the heat transferred to the furnace bottom. The furnace bottom is then configured as a sandwich structure, with both the upper and lower surfaces of the sandwich polished to a mirror finish. During use, a vacuum pump is used to evacuate the sandwich to an absolute vacuum state, so that the heat transfer mode of the furnace bottom sandwich is only radiation. Furthermore, due to the very low heat absorption rate of the mirror, the heat absorbed by the lower furnace bottom plate can be significantly reduced. In addition, an insulation material is placed below the lower furnace bottom plate to prevent workers from coming into contact with the lower furnace bottom plate.

[0021] like Figs. 1-3 A heat insulation plate 6 is installed below the furnace bottom body 1; a vacuum chamber lower sealing plate 11 is installed below the furnace bottom body 1, and a vacuum chamber is formed between the vacuum chamber lower sealing plate 11 and the furnace bottom body 1. The vacuum chamber lower sealing plate 11 has a vacuum chamber evacuation port 15, and a vacuum chamber blocking plate 16 is installed at the vacuum chamber evacuation port 15; the vacuum chamber lower sealing plate 11 is located between the furnace bottom body 1 and the heat insulation plate 6.

[0022] like Figs. 1-3The furnace bottom main body 1 is provided with an air extraction hole 12, a crucible hole 13 and an electrode hole 14, the air extraction pipe 8 is installed at the air extraction hole 12 of the furnace bottom main body 1, the crucible bellow 7 is installed at the crucible hole 13 of the furnace bottom main body 1, the electrode insulation sleeve 5 is installed at the electrode hole 14 of the furnace bottom main body 1, and the electrode 4 is installed at the electrode insulation sleeve 5; the heat reflecting screen 2 is provided with a reflecting screen crucible hole extension section 21 at the crucible hole 13, and the heat reflecting screen 2 is provided with a reflecting screen air extraction hole extension section 22 at the air extraction hole 12.

[0023] At the electrode hole position, the copper electrode is cooled by water cooling, in the conventional scheme, the common insulation material of the furnace bottom and the electrode is a polytetrafluoroethylene sleeve, due to the material performance, the electrode cannot effectively cool the furnace bottom electrode hole, in the utility model, the phenolic resin added with aluminum nitride is used as the insulation material, the material thermal conductivity coefficient can be close to 30 W / (mK), thereby solving the problem of no water cooling of the furnace bottom electrode hole.

[0024] The working principle of the utility model is: using the principle of vacuum heat preservation, a plurality of heat reflecting screens are arranged above and inside the furnace bottom, thereby reducing the heat transferred to the furnace bottom from the hot field, in the region where the air extraction hole, the crucible hole and the like exist heat convection, the heat at the region is absorbed by using the heat conduction of the air extraction pipe and the bellow, so that the sealing ring can be in a low temperature state, and the sealing ring is protected from being damaged due to high temperature; the reflecting screen firstly reflects a wave of heat radiation, so that the heat transferred to the upper plate of the furnace bottom is reduced by a part, then a part of the heat is reserved by the vacuum heat insulation cavity on the furnace bottom, so that the heat on the lower plate of the furnace bottom is further reduced, and then the heat insulation plate is further increased to protect the personnel from being mistaken to touch when the heat preservation occasionally fails, in the key positions such as the electrode hole and the air extraction hole, the water cooling parts installed on the furnace bottom are used to reduce the heat at the positions by enhancing the heat conduction, and the sealing structure is protected.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and not for limiting the utility model, although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, still can modify the technical scheme recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
