[0024] The following description is provided to disclose the present application so that those skilled in the art can implement the present application. The preferred embodiments in the following description are only examples, and other obvious modifications can be made by those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present application defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents and other technical solutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.

[0025] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this specification, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0027] refer to Figs. 1 to 3 This application provides a graphite cylinder for a high-temperature furnace, including a cylinder cover 10 and a cylinder body 20. The top of the cylinder body 20 is provided with a first limiting structure 21 along the circumferential direction, and the bottom of the cylinder cover 10 is provided with a second limiting structure 11 that cooperates with the first limiting structure 21. A gap α is maintained between the second limiting structure 11 and the first limiting structure 21 in the lateral direction. The gap α serves as an expansion gap and can be reserved to a depth of 2mm to 8mm. During operation, it can ensure that the cylinder body will not deform due to thermal expansion, thereby reducing the gas leakage rate. The lateral direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the cylinder body 20.

[0028] The cylinder 20 may be one or more, and the inner diameter of a single cylinder 20 is φ1200mm~φ1300mm, the outer diameter is φ1240mm~φ1340mm, and the height of the cylinder 20 is 270mm~370mm. The actual size can be adjusted according to the furnace size.

[0029] The cylinder 20 has multiple layers of through holes 201 on its side wall along the extension direction. In the transverse direction, the diameter of each layer of through holes 201 is equal. Meanwhile, in the extension direction of the cylinder 20, the diameter of the multiple layers of through holes 201 decreases by 5% to 20% from the bottom to the top. The through holes 201 are corresponding in the extension direction of the cylinder 20. This can adjust the local escape resistance of the airflow, so that when the airflow enters rapidly from the bottom of the cylinder 20, it can maintain the uniformity of penetration in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring the uniformity of gas in all places and improving the uniformity of the purity of the material inside the cylinder.

[0030] In one embodiment, the first limiting structure 21 is an annular step, and the annular step is located on the inner sidewall of the cylinder 20. The second limiting structure 11 is integrally formed with the cylinder cover 10 to form a circular plate, wherein the circular plate overlaps the first limiting structure 21.

[0031] If the number of through holes 201 is too large, or the diameter of the holes is too large, it will weaken the overall strength of the cylinder 20, especially when multiple holes are stacked, which poses a risk of cracking. Conversely, if the number of through holes 201 is too small, or the diameter of the holes is too small, the goal of uniform gas distribution during operation cannot be achieved. Therefore, in one embodiment, the diameter of the through holes 201 is φ15mm to φ50mm, and the spacing between adjacent through holes 201 in the same layer is 10mm to 20mm. This spacing refers to the distance between the edges or boundaries of adjacent through holes 201.

[0032] In one embodiment, the side wall of the cylinder 20 is also provided with an auxiliary transport hole 202 that runs through the front and rear. The diameter of the auxiliary transport hole 202 is φ50mm to φ150mm, and in the lateral direction, the distance between adjacent auxiliary transport holes 202 is 500mm to 1000mm. This distance refers to the distance between the edges or boundaries of adjacent auxiliary transport holes 202, so as to facilitate the transport and installation of the cylinder by operators or transport machinery.

[0033] In one embodiment, the through hole 201 is frustoconical, and the diameter of the through hole 201 near the outer wall is larger than the diameter near the inner wall. Preferably, the diameter of the through hole 201 near the outer wall is 10% to 30% larger than the diameter near the inner wall. This avoids the problem of gas escaping too quickly, prolongs the contact time between the gas and the material inside the cylinder 20, and allows the gas to diffuse better after escaping, reducing the backflow of impurity gas and helping to improve the purity of the material.

[0034] In one embodiment, the cylindrical body 20 includes a plurality of sub-cylinders coaxially distributed in the extending direction. The sub-cylinder connecting to the cylindrical cover 10 is defined as the first cylindrical body 22, and the remaining sub-cylinders are defined as the second cylindrical body 23. The bottom of the first cylindrical body 22 is provided with a third limiting structure 221, and correspondingly, the top of the second cylindrical body 23 is provided with a fourth limiting structure 231 that cooperates with the third limiting structure 221. A lateral gap is maintained between the third limiting structure 221 and the fourth limiting structure 231. Similarly, the third limiting structure... The cooperation between structure 221 and the fourth limiting structure 231 can, on the one hand, enable the overlapping of multiple sub-cylinders, and thus allow them to be stacked to meet the loading requirements of different sizes and heights. On the other hand, the gap can also prevent thermal expansion deformation and help reduce the gas leakage rate. When there are multiple second cylinders 23, the multiple second cylinders 23 are also overlapped and cooperated with each other through the third limiting structure 221 and the fourth limiting structure 231, and a gap is maintained between the third limiting structure 221 and the fourth limiting structure 231 in the lateral direction.

[0035] More preferably, the third limiting structure 221 and the fourth limiting structure 231 are both annular steps, wherein the third limiting structure 221 is located on the outer side wall of the first cylinder 22, and the fourth limiting structure 231 is located on the inner side wall of the second cylinder 23, and the first cylinder 22 is connected to the fourth limiting structure 231 through the third limiting structure 221.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bottom of the first cylinder 22 is provided with a semi-circular protrusion 222, and correspondingly, the top of the second cylinder 23 is provided with a semi-circular groove 232 that fits with the semi-circular protrusion 222. Adjacent second cylinders 23 are connected by the semi-circular protrusion 222 and the semi-circular groove 232 through the gap fit. Thus, the semi-circular protrusion 222 and the semi-circular groove 232 can play a positioning role, which makes it convenient for the sub-cylinders to be quickly and accurately assembled into place, and can also ensure the consistency of each assembly. In addition, the gap fit design can also avoid the problem of thermal expansion deformation and reduce the gas leakage rate.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "first, second, third and fourth" used in this application are for descriptive purposes only, do not indicate any order, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. These terms can be interpreted as names.

[0038] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functional and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations may be made to the implementation of the present invention without departing from the stated principles.
