[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] A gallium oxide single crystal grinding device, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, it includes:

[0030] The casing 1, roller 2, and shock-absorbing base 25; the casing 1 is a circular cylindrical structure arranged horizontally front to back and closed at both ends, with a shock-absorbing base 25 at its bottom (the shock-absorbing base 25 is shown in the image). Figure 1 As shown, this is a commonly used equipment based on existing mature technology and machinery such as fans. A filter box 22 is fixed to the top rear side. The filter box 22 is a square box with an open bottom and is connected to the inside of the cover 1. A dust filter screen 24 is fixed inside the filter box 22, and the top is connected to the air outlet pipe 23. A square material inlet 13 is reserved at the bottom of the rear side wall of the cover 1, and a cover plate 14 (with a locking device) is hinged to the corresponding material inlet 13. The roller 2 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the interior is filled with a large number of rolling balls, which are arranged on the front side inside the casing 1. A rotating shaft 12 is formed on the front side, and the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably mounted on the front side wall of the casing 1 via a bearing 20. A connecting shaft 19 is formed on the rear side wall, and the connecting shaft 19 is rotatably mounted on the rear side wall of the casing 1 via a bearing 20. Both the rotating shaft 12 and the connecting shaft 19 are hollow tube structures, and three strip-shaped hollow grooves are provided circumferentially on the side wall of the connecting shaft 19. Four screens 17 are embedded circumferentially on the rear side wall of the roller 2 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown), a ball guard 18 is fitted and fixed inside the roller 2 on the front side of the screen 17 (to prevent the ball from falling on the screen 17 and damaging it). The inner surfaces of the cover 1 and the roller 2 are coated with organic polymer materials (such as polyurethane or polytetrafluoroethylene), and the ball is wrapped with polyurethane to prevent metal impurities from entering.

[0031] Transmission structure and mixed feeding structure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the transmission structure includes a motor 8, a reduction gearbox 9, a drive gear 10, and a transmission gear 11; the transmission gear 11 is fixed at the front end of the rotating shaft 12, the input shaft of the reduction gearbox 9 is connected to the drive shaft of the motor 8, and the output shaft is connected and fixed to the drive gear 10, and the drive gear 10 meshes with the transmission gear 11 (the number of teeth of the transmission gear 11 is greater than the number of teeth of the drive gear 10). A protective cover 21 adapted to it is installed and fixed at the gear of the transmission structure, and a gap is provided between the bottom of the reduction gearbox 9 and the motor 8; the mixing and feeding structure includes a mixing pipe 5 and a feeding funnel. 3. Air supply valve 6 and air supply pipe 7; The mixing pipe 5 is a pipe that gradually widens from front to back (to prevent the mixing pipe 5 from getting blocked during mixing), and the rear end is rotatably set in the rotating shaft 12 through the bearing 20. The front end is connected to the air supply pipe 7. The air supply valve 6 is set on the air supply pipe 7, and the other end of the air supply pipe 7 is connected to the nitrogen storage tank. The top of the feed funnel 3 is provided with an external thread, and the cap 4 is threadedly fitted on the top of the feed funnel 3. The bottom of the feed funnel 3 is connected to the top of the mixing pipe 5, and the gallium oxide single crystal in the feed funnel 3 can fall naturally into the mixing pipe 5.

[0032] Pulse backflush structure such as Figure 5As shown, it includes a backflush pipe 15 and a pulse gas valve 16. One end of the backflush pipe 15 is rotatably mounted in the connecting shaft 19 via a bearing 20, and the other end is connected to a nitrogen storage tank. The pulse gas valve 16 is mounted on the backflush pipe 15. By releasing nitrogen gas into the housing 1 in a pulse manner, the gallium oxide single crystal on the screen 17 is backflushed, causing it to fall back into the roller 2 and continue to be ground by the ball.

[0033] The methods of using the shock-absorbing base 25, gearbox 9, motor 8 and pulse air valve 16 described above are well-known and mature existing technologies.

[0034] In the specific implementation of this embodiment:

[0035] Close and lock the cover plate 14, open the cap 4 of the feed funnel 3, pour the gallium oxide single crystal into the feed funnel 3, replace the cap 4 and tighten it, open the air valve 6 to send nitrogen into the drum 2, and the nitrogen mixes with the gallium oxide single crystal in the mixing tube 5 and carries the gallium oxide single crystal into the drum 2. Start the motor 8, and through the transmission structure, the drum 2 begins to rotate, and the internal balls are continuously lifted and dropped to crush and grind the gallium oxide single crystal. Because the drum 2 is filled with nitrogen, the gallium oxide powder... It does not react with air, thus avoiding the generation of impurities. The ground gallium oxide powder floats to the rear under the action of nitrogen gas, and after being screened by screen 17, it enters the housing 1 and follows the nitrogen gas into the filter box 22. It is then screened by dust filter 24 and falls back to the bottom of housing 1. During this process, pulse air valve 16 is opened intermittently (when pulse air valve 16 is open, air supply valve 6 is closed) to backflush the gallium oxide single crystal on screen 17, causing it to fall back into roller 2 and continue to be ground by the ball.

[0036] After grinding, close the motor 8 and all air valves, open the cover plate 14 to ventilate (to prevent excessive nitrogen concentration from causing oxygen deficiency and suffocation). After ventilating, collect the gallium oxide powder from the feed port 13.

[0037] The gas discharged from the outlet pipe 23 can be collected, filtered and purified, and reused as nitrogen, reducing nitrogen source pressure.

[0038] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
