[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, and the advantages of the present invention in the above and / or other aspects will become clearer.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model.

[0025] In the diagram, 1 is the silane purification tower, 2 is the reaction fluidized bed, 3 is the silane buffer tank, 4 is the vaporizer, 5 is the compression unit, 6 is the filling unit, 7 is the condenser, 8 is the first valve, 9 is the second valve, 10 is the third valve, and 11 is the fourth valve. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The overall concept of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] Silane is a colorless, flammable compound with highly reactive chemical properties. It is sensitive to storage conditions and is usually not stored in tanks to ensure production safety. Instead, a buffer device is installed to achieve the dual purpose of producing granular silicon and filling silane. This buffer device has liquefaction and vaporization capabilities to meet the buffering requirements of silane.

[0028] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the silane produced by the upstream system reaction is purified by silane purification tower 1. The purified silane is divided into at least two streams: one stream goes through the second valve 9 to the reaction fluidized bed 2 to produce particulate silicon, and the other stream goes through the first valve 8 to the silane buffer tank 3.

[0030] The top of the silane buffer tank 3 is equipped with a condenser 7, which is used to condense the silane gas output from the first valve 8 into liquid and store it in the silane buffer tank 3.

[0031] The bottom of the silane buffer tank 3 is fluidly connected to the vaporizer 4, which is used to input liquid silane into the vaporizer 4 to generate gaseous silane.

[0032] The top of the vaporizer 4 is fluidly connected to the top of the silane buffer tank 3, and is used to store gaseous silane into the silane buffer tank 3.

[0033] The top of the silane buffer tank 3 is equipped with a third valve 10, through which gaseous silane is fed into the reaction fluidized bed 2.

[0034] The top of the silane buffer tank 3 is also equipped with a fourth valve 11, through which gaseous silane is sent into the compression unit 5 for compression;

[0035] The output of the compression unit 5 is fluidly connected to the input of the filling unit 6, and the filling unit 6 fills the gaseous silane and outputs it as a product.

[0036] During use, adhering to the principle of immediate production and use of silane to avoid storage, when filling is required, the first valve 8 of the silane extraction buffer tank 3 is opened. At this time, the silane gas is cooled using a cold source (usually Freon) in the condenser 7, and the resulting silane condensate enters the silane buffer tank 3. The vaporizer 4 has an electric heating function. When filling silane, the fourth valve 11 is opened, and the silane condensate is vaporized by the electric heating of the vaporizer 4. It is then compressed and pressurized through the compression unit 5 via the top pipe of the tank, and finally enters the filling unit 6 for pressurization.

[0037] The purpose of setting up the silane buffer tank 3 is to avoid unstable inlet pressure of the compression unit 5 caused by changes in the amount of silane used in the reaction fluidized bed 2. After filling is completed, the silane buffer tank 3 is heated and vaporized. The vaporized silane is then sent to the reaction fluidized bed 2 to avoid silane residue in the buffer tank.

[0038] Meanwhile, the silane buffer tank 3 acts as a buffer for the silane supply system. When the feed rate of the fluidized bed 2 is reduced, it can temporarily buffer the flow, preventing the silane production system from rapidly and drastically adjusting its output and ensuring stable production operation. When the silane buffer tank 3 condenser 7 is activated, valve 1 8 is opened, allowing silane condensate to enter the silane buffer tank 3. When feeding the fluidized bed, valve 10 is opened to activate the vaporizer 4 heating function until the silane buffer tank 3 is empty.

[0039] This utility model provides a concept and method for a silane buffer filling device. Many methods and approaches exist for implementing this technical solution; the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. All components not explicitly stated in this embodiment can be implemented using existing technology.
