[0027] As Figure 1As shown in the utility model embodiment, a single crystal furnace exhaust pipe includes a pipe body 100 and a first cover plate 200 and a second cover plate 300 arranged in the pipe body 100. Exemplarily, the inner wall of the pipe body is provided with a stepped structure, and the first cover plate and the second cover plate can be installed at the corresponding stepped structure, facilitating the disassembly and cleaning of the first cover plate and the second cover plate. The pipe body 100 has an air inlet and an air outlet arranged oppositely in the axial direction thereof, and the pipe body 100 serves as the main part of the exhaust pipe. The pipe body 100 is responsible for containing and guiding the flow of gas, and the material and size thereof need to be selected according to the specific requirements of the single crystal furnace to ensure the smooth discharge of the gas and the durability of the exhaust pipe. Exemplarily, the pipe body 100 is made of stainless steel. The first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 are used to block the heat in the furnace body from being directly radiated out through the pipe body 100. Exemplarily, the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 can be made of static pressure graphite or carbon-carbon composite material. The first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 are arranged oppositely in the axial direction of the pipe body 100. The first cover plate 200 has a plurality of first exhaust holes 201 in the circumferential direction, and the second cover plate 300 has a plurality of second exhaust holes 301 in the circumferential direction. The plurality of first exhaust holes 201 and the plurality of second exhaust holes 301 are arranged in a one-to-one corresponding staggered manner in the circumferential direction. The staggered arrangement of the plurality of first exhaust holes 201 and the plurality of second exhaust holes 301 is used to maintain the continuous flow of the gas in the furnace body outward, play the role of the exhaust pipe, and discharge the gas from the furnace body. On the other hand, the staggered arrangement can block the heat in the furnace body from being directly radiated out through the exhaust pipe, reduce heat loss, avoid direct exposure of the internal heat of the furnace body to the external environment, reduce the loss of the internal heat field of the furnace, and further reduce the attachment of the gas on the inner wall of the pipe body 100. When the gas passes through the staggered exhaust holes, a certain disturbance and vortex effect are generated. This effect helps to reduce the attachment on the inner wall, thereby prolonging the service life of the exhaust pipe.

Further, the second preset angle is greater than or equal to 10 degrees and less than or equal to 170 degrees. Preferably, the second preset angle is greater than or equal to 60 degrees and less than or equal to 120 degrees, and in this range, the area of the second flow guide cavity 305 divided into a plurality of second exhaust holes 301 is more uniform, which helps to achieve more efficient fluid exchange.
