Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diamond large single crystal technology, specifically to a surface defect detection device for diamond large single crystals. Background Technology
[0002] Large single-crystal diamonds, with their superior physicochemical properties such as extremely high hardness, excellent thermal conductivity, wide bandgap, and excellent optical and electrical properties, play an irreplaceable and crucial role in many high-end technology fields. However, during the growth and subsequent processing of large single-crystal diamonds, various defects are inevitably introduced onto their surface. These defects are diverse, including point defects (such as vacancies and interstitial atoms), line defects (such as dislocations), planar defects (such as stacking faults), and macroscopic defects such as scratches and pits caused by the processing. The presence of surface defects seriously affects the performance and application effects of large single-crystal diamonds.
[0003] For example, CN221485202U discloses a diamond single crystal surface finish testing device, including a testing stage. A support is fixed to the center of the top of the testing stage, and an irradiation head is mounted on the top of the support. Crossbars are provided on both sides of the support. A reflector is movably mounted at the front end of the middle of the crossbars, and a pushing sleeve is slidably fitted onto the outer end of the crossbars. A pull rod connects the top of the pushing sleeve to the rear side of the top of the reflector, and a limit component is fixed to the bottom of the pushing sleeve. This diamond single crystal surface finish testing device uses multi-angle refraction of the light source to obtain multi-angle detection data, improving the device's performance. However, in use, due to the large number of large diamond single crystals, conventionally inserting each one into a microscope is extremely time-consuming and easily damages the surface of the large diamond single crystals. Furthermore, while existing electron microscopes can observe nanoscale damage on the surface of large diamond single crystals, the cost of the device is high, and the time consumption is even longer. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a surface defect detection device for large diamond single crystals to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

An air pump 43 is installed at the bottom end of the sorting frame 41.
[0023] As a further feature of this invention, a slider 111 is fitted inside the single-set side slide rail 11. A fixing plate 112 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the slider 111. A fixing shaft 113 is installed inside the fixing plate 112. The inside of the fixing shaft 113 is connected to the side of the sorting frame 41. The drive mechanism 12 includes a servo motor 121 and a main shaft 122. The right end of the servo motor 121 drives the main shaft 122 to rotate. A main gear 123 is fixedly mounted on the right end of the main shaft 122, which facilitates the adjustment of the box rotation sorting mechanism and is beneficial for the selection of large diamond single crystals.
[0024] Furthermore, the auxiliary frame 3 includes a mounting plate 31 and a sliding column 32. Two sets of mounting plates 31 are installed on the top two walls of the operating table 1. The two sets of mounting plates 31 are connected by two sets of sliding columns 32. The detection component 5 includes a sliding block 51 and a mounting frame 52. The center of the sliding block 51 slides left and right within the two sets of sliding columns 32. The front end of the sliding block 51 is fixed with the mounting frame 52.

[0025] As a further improvement of this utility model, the sorting frame 41 includes an inner plate 411 and a sorting box 412. Two sets of inner plates 411 are respectively fixed inside the fixed rotating shaft 113. The bottom ends of the two sets of inner plates 411 are connected by the sorting box 412. A sinking groove 413 is opened on the bottom center of the sorting box 412. A sorting plate 416 is placed on the upper side of the sinking groove 413. Multiple sorting grooves 4161 are opened in the center of the sorting plate 416. An air extraction groove 415 is opened at the bottom end of the sinking groove 413.

[0026] Working principle: In use, the operator first pulls out the entire sorting mechanism 4 using the sliders 111 on both sides. Then, the operator takes the large single diamond crystal to be tested from the area separated by the front end of the partition plate 21 inside the sorting box 2 and places it on the sorting plate 416 inside the sorting box 412. Then, the operator powers on the servo motor 121 to drive the main shaft 122 on the right end to rotate. The rotation of the main shaft 122 drives the main gear 123 to mesh with the auxiliary gear 422 at the front end to rotate. The rotation of the auxiliary gear 422 drives the auxiliary shaft 421 and the inner plate 411 to rotate. The rotation of the inner plate 411 drives the sorting box 412 to rotate. 2. The diamond single crystals are rotated slightly to the upper rear. The large diamond single crystals laid on the sorting plate 416 fall into the sorting tank 4161 and are adsorbed by the air pump 43. The rest fall into the front end of the sorting box 2 through the side groove 414 on the front side of the sorting box 412. Then, the distance between the sorting mechanism 4 and the operating table 1 is adjusted, and the optical microscope 53 is moved to observe the large diamond single crystals. After the defective products are picked out, the servo motor 121 is rotated in the opposite direction to drive the main shaft 122 to rotate. The high-quality large diamond single crystals fall into the rear side of the sorting box 2 through the side groove 414 on the rear side. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.
