[0034] As shown in Figure 4 More specifically, the practical protection assembly 4 includes a barrel 41 fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1, and the outer surface of the barrel 41 is further provided with a water inlet 43, a water outlet 42, an air inlet pipe 44 and an air outlet pipe 45, and the air inlet pipe 44 is in communication with a cold air fan 46, and the cold air fan 46 is fixed on the bottom plate 1. Among them, the water inlet 43, the water outlet 42, the air inlet pipe 44 and the air outlet pipe 45 are further arranged, the air inlet pipe 44 and the water outlet 42 are arranged on the upper side of the barrel 41, the water inlet 43 and the air outlet pipe 44 are arranged on the lower side of the barrel 41, and the air inlet pipe 44 is arranged on the lower side of the water outlet 42, and the air outlet pipe 45 is arranged on the upper side of the water inlet 43, and the air inlet pipe 44 and the water outlet 42 need to be arranged relative to the water inlet 43 and the air outlet pipe 45 and be located on the same plane.
[0035] As shown in Figure 5 The cooling assembly 6 includes a first fixed ring 61 and a second fixed ring 65, and a plurality of semicircular first baffles 63, a plurality of semicircular second baffles 64 and a plurality of pipe bodies 62 are arranged between the first fixed ring 61 and the second fixed ring 65. Among them, the first baffles 63 and the second baffles 64 are sequentially and spaced arranged in the vertical direction of the cooling assembly 6. The pipe body 62 is designed as a hollow structure with openings on the upper and lower sides. Since the pipe body 62 is cast according to the size of the single crystal furnace body 5, all the pipe bodies 62 are in contact with the outer surface of the single crystal furnace body 5. Since the single crystal furnace body 5 works in a high temperature environment, the temperature usually reaches thousands of degrees Celsius, so the pipe body 62 needs to be made of high temperature resistant materials, such as high temperature alloy, stainless steel, ceramic, etc. Further, the first baffles 63 and the second baffles 64 arranged on one side of the cooling assembly 6 are linearly arrayed in the vertical direction; the first baffles 63, the second baffles 64 and the first fixed ring 61 need to be fixedly connected with the inner surface of the barrel 41, and the second fixed ring 65 is fixedly connected with the inner bottom surface of the barrel 41; a plurality of pipe bodies 62 sequentially penetrate the first baffles 63, the second baffles 64, the first fixed ring 61 and the second fixed ring 65.
[0036] The first baffle plate 63 used in the device is used to change the flow direction of the cold air and reduce the speed of the cold air, and is usually composed of solid plates or sheets, which can increase the contact time and contact area of the cold air with the surface of the pipe body 62, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. When the cold air passes through the baffle plate, the flow direction of the cold air will change, forming a vortex or turbulent flow. This flow state is conducive to the transfer of heat from the heat dissipation surface to the air flow and the removal of heat with the air flow.
[0037] In addition, the single crystal furnace body 5 is a device for growing single crystal silicon and works in a high temperature environment, with a temperature usually reaching thousands of degrees Celsius. High temperature can cause thermal expansion of the device itself, degradation of material performance, and possible failure. The cooling assembly 6 can help the device to operate stably in a high temperature environment. It can also prevent the single crystal furnace body 5 from overheating due to long-term high-temperature operation, absorb and remove the heat generated inside the single crystal furnace body 5, thereby reducing the temperature of the device and ensuring its operation within a safe range to prevent damage or safety accidents caused by overheating.
[0038] In the actual use of the device, when the single crystal furnace body 5 needs to be cooled, the cold source is transported into the barrel body 41 through the water inlet 43, enters the pipe body 62, and is then transported to the upper side of the first fixed ring 61 through the pipe body 62, and finally flows out through the water outlet 42. The continuous supply of cold source can cool the single crystal furnace body 5, and at the same time, the cooling fan 46 transports cold air into the barrel body 41 through the air inlet pipe 44. The cold air flows through the first baffle plate 63 and the second baffle plate 64, and finally flows out through the air outlet pipe 45, thereby cooling the single crystal furnace body 5 by air cooling.
[0039] In the prior art, the cooling is achieved by directly spraying cold source on the surface of the single crystal furnace, which can quickly remove the heat on the surface of the single crystal furnace. However, the cooling effect can be affected by factors such as water pressure, water volume, water temperature, etc. If the water is not sprayed uniformly or the water volume is insufficient, it can cause insufficient cooling in some areas of the single crystal furnace, and can also cause rapid cooling of the surface of the single crystal furnace, thereby generating a large thermal stress and thermal deformation. If the water is not sprayed uniformly or the water volume is too large, it can also cause erosion and corrosion of the single crystal furnace, which poses a safety hazard. By closely fitting the pipe body 62 with the single crystal furnace body 5, the cold source can be directly and effectively transferred to the heat generating components of the single crystal furnace body 5, achieving targeted cooling. The cold source in the pipe body 62 can be a low-temperature liquid or gas, and its cooling effect is usually more significant than that of water at room temperature. Since the direct contact area between the cold source and the single crystal furnace body 5 is limited, and the flow and temperature of the cold source can be accurately controlled to achieve gentle cooling of the single crystal furnace body 5, the influence on the thermal stress and thermal deformation of the single crystal furnace is small. In addition, the protection assembly 4 can cool the single crystal furnace body 5 by air cooling, and the protection assembly 4 and the cooling assembly 6 can work together to achieve better cooling effect.
[0040] The utility model discloses a working principle is: when the need promotes single crystal furnace body 5's furnace cover, through electric jar 31 and promotes first connecting plate 32, first connecting plate 32 drive slider 34 on slide rail 33 and move upwards, slider 34 drive second connecting plate 35 and the rotation rod 37 and the furnace cover and move upwards, in the process of moving on the rotation plate 36, the rotation rod 37 slide in the slide groove 39, drive rotation plate 36 and the furnace cover in the process of moving upwards and overturn, need not to promote the furnace cover to the very high position to avoid the shelter single crystal furnace other parts;When the need of single crystal furnace body 5 cooling, through the water inlet 43 and send the cold source in the bucket body 41, the cold source enters the pipe body 62, again through the pipe body 62 and sends to the first fixed ring 61 upside, finally through the water outlet 42 and flow out, the cold source of unceasingly sending can to single crystal furnace body 5 cooling, simultaneously through the cold -blast machine 46 and send the cold wind in the bucket body 41 through the air inlet pipe 44, the cold wind flows through a plurality of first baffle 63 and a plurality of second baffle 64, finally through the air outlet pipe 45 and flow out, to single crystal furnace body 5 and carry out the air cooling cooling.
