Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crystallizer technology, and in particular to a circulating cooling high-purity arsenic crystallizer. Background Technology
[0002] High-purity arsenic refers to arsenic with extremely high purity. High-purity arsenic is a raw material for semiconductor materials, special alloys, and infrared optical materials. During the processing, it is separated by directional crystallization in a high-pressure inert gas environment using the difference in the segregation coefficients of impurities and arsenic. The sublimation stage requires heating to about 820°C, and the cooling rate during the crystallization stage is 100-300°C / h. The entire process lasts 20-40 hours.
[0003] Because the crystallization time is relatively long, crystals will also form on the outer wall of the internal stirring structure during use, making it difficult to clean the internal structure. In addition, during the cooling process, heat is radiated from the outside of the equipment to the inside, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, we propose a circulating cooling high-purity arsenic crystallizer to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a circulating cooling high-purity arsenic crystallizer.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a circulating cooling high-purity arsenic crystallizer, comprising a vessel body, a motor, a condenser, a lifting plate, a guide plate, a connecting plate, and a bottom plate. The bottom plate is located inside the lower end of the vessel body, and a spiral heat exchange tube is located on the upper end of the bottom plate. A condenser is located at the upper end of the vessel body, and a motor is located at the upper end of the vessel body. A support ring is located on the inner wall of the vessel body, and a lifting plate and a guide plate are located above the support ring. Symmetrically distributed connecting plates are located on one side of the upper end of the bottom plate. A threaded hole for threaded connection with a screw is opened inside the upper end of the lifting plate. The guide plate is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of a guide rod. A ring seat is located between the connecting plates, and a rotating ring is rotatably installed inside the ring seat. A gear ring is located on the upper end of the rotating ring. A second motor is located at one end of the connecting plate, and a gear meshing with the gear ring is located at the output end of the second motor. A connecting rod arranged in a ring array is located at the lower end of the rotating ring, and side rods arranged in a ring array are located on the outer wall of the connecting rod.
[0006] Preferably, the vessel body has an upper cavity and a lower cavity, with the support ring located on the upper inner wall of the lower cavity. The stirring structure and heat exchange tubes can be housed inside the upper cavity, while the lower cavity is used for material crystallization.
[0007] Preferably, a support is fitted onto the outer wall of the vessel body, and a feed pipe connected to a lower cavity and controlled by a valve is installed inside one end of the vessel body. The support supports the vessel body, and the feed pipe transports materials into the lower cavity, with the feed pipe controlled by a valve.
[0008] Preferably, a bearing seat is provided at the upper end of the support ring, and the lower end of the screw is rotatably mounted inside the bearing seat. The lower end of the screw receives rotational support through the bearing seat, thereby improving the rotational stability of the lower end of the screw.
[0009] Preferably, both ends of the heat exchange tube are provided with flexible hoses communicating with the condenser. The flexible hoses are used for the flow of the heat exchange medium and also provide bending characteristics to transport the cooling medium for the raising and lowering of the heat exchange tube.
[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the base plate is provided with a conical surface, the outer diameter of the base plate is larger than the inner diameter of the support ring, and a guide hopper is provided on the inner wall of the lower end of the vessel body. The conical surface allows the material located at the upper end of the base plate to flow outward, thus playing a guiding role. When the upper end of the base plate is in contact with the support ring, the upper cavity and the lower cavity are separated and the two cavities are not connected to each other.
[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the connecting plate is provided with a spring that connects to the lifting plate and the guide plate. Both the lifting plate and the guide plate have through holes. The upper end of the connecting plate is provided with a positioning rod that passes through the spring and is slidably inserted into the through hole. The connecting plate is elastically installed with the lifting plate and the guide plate via the spring, allowing the connecting plate to compensate for longitudinal movement when lifted. When the spring extends or retracts, the positioning rod slides within the through hole to position the spring and prevent it from shifting outwards.
[0012] Preferably, a positioning plate is provided at the upper end of the base plate, and force-bearing blocks are provided at one end of the positioning plate. A mounting bracket is provided on the inner wall of the upper end of the vessel body. A mounting shaft is rotatably mounted inside the lower end of the mounting bracket. A locking block is provided at one end of the mounting shaft. A torsion spring is sleeved on the outer side of the mounting shaft, with its two ends connected to the locking block and the mounting bracket, respectively. When the positioning plate rises with the base plate, the force-bearing block at one end of the positioning plate will squeeze the mounting shaft when it passes the locking block. When the mounting shaft rotates, it applies a torsional force to the torsion spring. At the same time, the resistance applied to the force-bearing block causes the spring to be squeezed. When the force-bearing block passes the locking block, the locking block resets through the torsion spring, and the spring also resets. The reset process causes vibration, and the material adhering to the stirring structure and the outer wall of the heat exchange tube is subjected to vibration force, causing the material to detach.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model uses a spiral heat exchange tube in conjunction with a cooler to circulate and transport the cooling medium inside the vessel. The cooling medium radiates to both the inner and outer walls simultaneously, achieving rapid cooling of the material, improving cooling efficiency, and facilitating the crystallization process of high-purity arsenic. The stirring structure is installed on the outside of the heat exchange tube to stir the material inside. After stirring, both the heat exchange tube and the stirring structure can be raised and isolated from the processing chamber, preventing crystals from adhering to the heat exchange structure and the stirring structure, and facilitating the cleaning of the inside of the vessel after use.

[0030] Implementation steps based on Example 1: Usage method and technical principles
[0031] When in use, first securely support the equipment with bracket 4, then turn on the condenser 6 to allow the cooling medium to circulate through the hose 8 in the spiral heat exchange tube 16. The refrigerant cooling medium, such as Freon or ammonia, is pressurized by the compressor and enters the condenser 6 shell in a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous form. When the gaseous medium flows in the pipes of the condenser 6, it exchanges heat with the outside air or cooling water through the heat sink of the shell. The temperature drops below the dew point, and a phase change occurs, condensing into a liquid state. The condensed liquid cooling medium is then transported through the pipe to the inlet of the heat exchange tube 16 to complete the cooling cycle. The heat exchange tube 16 is connected to the condenser 6 in a closed loop through a parallel structure of double hoses 8. The condenser 6 is equipped with two dedicated interfaces, including a liquid medium outlet and a gaseous medium inlet, connecting the liquid outlet of the condenser 6 to the inlet of the heat exchange tube 16. The corrugated metal hose 8 is used, with an inner layer of PTFE material, allowing the liquid medium to flow in a wide temperature range from -40℃ to 260℃.
[0032] High-purity arsenic raw material is injected into the lower cavity 2 through the valve of the feed pipe 7. During this process, the motor 27 drives the gear 28 to rotate the rotating ring 30. The connecting rod 15 and the side rod 20 of the ring array stir the molten arsenic in multiple dimensions. With the bidirectional radiation cooling medium of the spiral heat exchange tube 16, heat is transferred to the material through the inner wall of the tube and radiated to the upper cavity 3 through the outer wall of the tube, forming a highly efficient heat exchange mechanism with internal and external coordination. Subsequently, the motor 5 is started to drive the lifting plate 10 to descend along the guide rod 11, so that the bottom plate 17 and the support ring 21 are sealed and fitted. At this time, the upper cavity 3 and the lower cavity 2 are completely isolated. After the material in the lower cavity 2 completes sublimation at a high temperature of 820℃, it enters the directional crystallization stage. When the crystallization is completed and cooling is required, the control system adjusts the temperature at a rate of 100-300℃ / h. The spiral structure of the spiral heat exchange tube 16 extends the cooling path. With the continuous circulation of the condenser 6, the cooling efficiency is improved.
[0033] After cooling to a safe temperature, motor 5 reverses and lifts the lifting plate 10, causing the bottom plate 17 and heat exchange tube 16 to rise as a whole to the upper cavity 3 of the vessel body 1. At this time, the connecting plate 14 maintains longitudinal movement through the elastic compensation of the spring 26, and the positioning rod 24 slides in the through hole 25 to ensure structural stability. When the bottom plate 17 is lifted, its conical surface 18 design allows the residual material to flow naturally to the periphery of the lower cavity 2. When the force block 12 on the positioning plate 36 passes through the locking block 35 at the mounting bracket 32, it triggers the vibration mechanism driven by the torsion spring 33, generating vibration, causing the arsenic crystals adhering to the stirring rod and the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 16 to fall off during the vibration.
[0034] Traditional crystallizers dissipate heat only through unidirectional radiation from the outer wall of the equipment. In this device, the spiral heat exchange tube 16 simultaneously achieves internal heat conduction and external radiation, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency and shortening the crystallization cycle. The lifting plate 10 achieves physical isolation between the processing chamber and the cooling system, improving the efficiency and cleanliness issues in the high-purity arsenic crystallization process.
