Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic solar energy technology, and in particular to a novel outer sheet splicing graphite boat. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of photovoltaic cell technology, market competition is intensifying, and end-user manufacturers are increasingly demanding increased production and cost reduction. This increased production efficiency, when reflected in the coating process of cell factories, means raising the process temperature, reducing heat dissipation time, and increasing the furnace exit temperature from below 500℃ to above 550℃. This, in turn, results in frequent high-temperature oxidation on the graphite boat, causing the non-electrode oxidation rate of the graphite boat to be faster than expected, especially the outer boat sheet. Due to the shortened oxidation cycle, the losses also increase significantly, thus requiring urgent improvement. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of outer sheet splicing graphite boat, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A novel type of graphite boat with spliced outer sheets includes two outer boat sheets and multiple inner boat sheets. The multiple inner boat sheets are equidistantly arranged between two outer boat sheets. Multiple first fixing holes penetrating the inner boat sheets are formed on the two outer boat sheets. Inner boat ears are fixedly provided at both ends of each inner boat sheet. Outer boat ears are fixedly provided on each outer boat sheet. Second fixing holes are formed on both the outer and inner boat ears, and the axis of the second fixing hole on the outer boat ear coincides with the axis of the second fixing hole on the inner boat ear. The system also includes:
[0006] The first fastener has multiple sets, and the first fastener is used to fasten the outer boat piece and the inner boat piece;
[0007] The second fastener has multiple sets and is used to fix the outer and inner boat ears.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The present invention will further describe an embodiment of a novel outer sheet splicing graphite boat.
[0035] A novel type of graphite boat with spliced outer sheets includes two outer boat sheets 1 and multiple inner boat sheets 2. The multiple inner boat sheets 2 are equidistantly arranged between two outer boat sheets 1. Multiple first fixing holes 3 penetrating the inner boat sheets 2 are formed on the two outer boat sheets 1. Inner boat ears 4 are fixedly provided at both ends of each inner boat sheet 2. Outer boat ears 5 are fixedly provided on the outer boat sheets 1. Second fixing holes 6 are formed on the outer boat ears 5 and the inner boat ears 4, with the axis of the second fixing hole 6 on the outer boat ear 5 coinciding with the axis of the second fixing hole 6 on the inner boat ear 4. The system also includes:
[0036] The first fixing member has multiple sets and is used to fix the outer boat piece 1 and the inner boat piece 2. The first fixing member includes a first ceramic rod 10, which passes through the first fixing hole 3 on the inner boat piece 2 and the outer boat piece 1. The first ceramic rod 10 also passes through a ceramic sleeve 8. By setting a second ceramic rod 11, the second ceramic rod 11 is transversely passed through the outer boat piece 1 and the inner boat piece 2 to form a grid-like fixing structure, which improves the overall torsional stiffness and thus avoids the problem of easy bending of long graphite boats to a certain extent. Fasteners are threaded at both ends of the first ceramic rod 10. By setting the first fixing member, the outer boat piece 1 and the inner boat piece 2 are fixed.
[0037] The second fastener has multiple sets and is used to fix the outer boat lug 5 and the inner boat lug 4. The second fastener includes a second ceramic rod 11, which passes through the second fixing hole 6 on the outer boat lug 5 and the inner boat lug 4. The second ceramic rod 11 also passes through a graphite spacer 9, and fasteners are provided at both ends of the second ceramic rod 11.
[0038] The fasteners include a carbon-carbon elastic washer 12, which is sleeved on the first ceramic rod 10 and the second ceramic rod 11. The viscoelastic properties of the carbon-carbon elastic washer 12 can absorb high-frequency vibration energy and prevent fatigue fracture of the ceramic rod threads. A carbon-carbon flat washer 13 is sleeved on the first ceramic rod 10 and the second ceramic rod 11. The carbon-carbon flat washer 13 disperses the surface pressure when the nut is tightened, preventing the ceramic rod ends from cracking due to point load. A graphite nut 14 is set on the first ceramic rod 10 and the second ceramic rod 11 and is threadedly connected to the first ceramic rod 10 and the second ceramic rod 11. The graphite nut 14 reduces the risk of seizing due to the self-lubricating property of graphite when it is threaded with the first ceramic rod 10 and the second ceramic rod 11, and there is no oxidation and adhesion problem at high temperature.
[0039] The outer sheet includes a long spliced outer sheet 101 and a short spliced outer sheet 102. The opposite ends of the long spliced outer sheet 101 and the short spliced outer sheet 102 are provided with mating grooves 7. During use, the mating grooves 7 of the long spliced outer sheet 101 and the short spliced outer sheet 102 are aligned. After the first ceramic rod 10 passes through the outer boat sheet 1 and the inner boat sheet 2, fasteners are used to fix the outer boat sheet 1 and the inner boat sheet 2, thus completing the installation. When the non-electrode end of the graphite boat is oxidized, only the short spliced outer sheet 102 needs to be replaced, thus achieving rapid replacement of the short spliced outer sheet 102. By splitting the outer boat sheet 1 into a long spliced outer sheet 101 and a short spliced outer sheet 102, when the non-electrode end of the outer boat sheet 1 is oxidized, it is not necessary to replace the entire outer boat sheet 1; only the short spliced outer sheet 102 needs to be replaced, thereby greatly reducing the wear and tear on the graphite boat and achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
[0040] A ceramic sleeve 8 is provided between the outer boat 1 and the inner boat 2, and an inner boat 2 is also provided between each inner boat 2. The axis of the ceramic sleeve 8 coincides with the axis of the first fixing hole 3. By providing a ceramic sleeve 8 between the outer boat 1 and the inner boat 2, direct contact between the outer boat 1 and the inner boat 2 is isolated, preventing short circuits caused by current passing through the outer boat 1 and the inner boat 2. At the same time, the axis of the ceramic sleeve 8 coincides with the axis of the first fixing hole 3, ensuring the parallelism of multiple inner boat 2 and outer boat 1, and preventing misalignment at high temperatures that could cause the silicon wafer to tilt during loading.
[0041] A graphite spacer 9 is provided between the outer boat ear 5 and the inner boat ear 4. By providing the graphite spacer 9, the graphite spacer 9 between the inner boat ears 4 forms a "soft connection". The self-lubricating property of graphite allows for small thermal displacement, while preventing rigid collisions between the inner boat sheets 2 that could lead to breakage. At the same time, graphite is compatible with the silicon wafer process environment, avoiding the introduction of impurities that could affect the performance of the photovoltaic cell.
[0042] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
