Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of graphite boat processing, and more specifically, to a graphite boat processing and forming apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and processing of graphite boats, grooving is a crucial process that plays a decisive role in the performance and application of the graphite boat. However, existing grooving processes for graphite boats have many problems, seriously affecting production efficiency and product quality.
[0003] During processing, graphite, being a relatively soft material, generates a significant amount of powder during grooving. Most current processing equipment lacks an effective powder removal mechanism, failing to promptly remove this powder. As processing continues, the powder accumulates in the processing area. On one hand, the accumulated powder interferes with the normal cutting path of the machining tools, leading to decreased machining accuracy, increased dimensional deviations in the grooving, and impacting the final quality of the graphite boat. On the other hand, powder accumulation can also enter critical components of the processing equipment, such as bearings and guide rails, accelerating wear, reducing equipment lifespan, and increasing maintenance costs.
[0004] Meanwhile, existing graphite boat processing and forming equipment also has significant shortcomings in loading and unloading. Graphite boats are typically large and heavy, and traditional loading and unloading methods mainly rely on manual handling or simple auxiliary tools, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Manual handling not only consumes a lot of manpower but is also prone to damage to the graphite boat due to improper operation, increasing the scrap rate. Moreover, this inconvenient loading and unloading method results in excessively long clamping and disassembly times for graphite boats on processing equipment, extending the overall processing cycle and failing to meet the needs of large-scale production.
[0005] With the widespread application of graphite boats in industries such as photovoltaics and semiconductors, the market demands increasingly higher output and quality. Developing a processing and forming device that can promptly clean up powder generated during the grooving process and facilitate the loading and unloading of graphite boats is urgently needed. This will not only help improve the processing quality and production efficiency of graphite boats and reduce production costs, but also promote the efficient development of related industries.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:
[0021] 1. The beneficial effect of the clamping assembly in this disclosure is that the bottom groove provides a mounting base for the drive screw and the slide rail. When the drive screw rotates, the fixed pressure plate moves smoothly under the guidance of the slide rail.

[0030] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.
[0031] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."
[0032] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.
[0033] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0034] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to 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, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.
[0035] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates a graphite boat processing and forming apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising:
[0037] A base 1 and a column 2, wherein the column 2 is mounted on the base 1;
[0038] A processing output component 6 is disposed on the base 1 and the column 2;
[0039] Mounting base 3 and clamping assembly 4, wherein the mounting base 3 is disposed on the surface of the base 1 and the clamping assembly 4 is disposed inside the mounting base 3;
[0040] The vacuuming component 5 is disposed on the base 1;
[0041] The clamping assembly 4 includes a bottom groove 4-1, which is formed at the bottom of the base 1. A drive screw 4-2 is rotatably connected inside the bottom groove 4-1. A pair of slide rails 4-3 are provided inside the bottom groove 4-1. A fixed pressure plate 4-4 is slidably connected to the slide rails 4-3. The fixed pressure plate 4-4 and the drive screw 4-2 are connected by a threaded engagement.
[0042] In some examples, during the processing of the graphite boat, a clamping assembly 4 is designed to ensure the stability of the graphite boat during processing. This assembly includes a bottom groove 4-1 formed in the bottom of the base 1, a drive screw 4-2 rotatably connected in the bottom groove 4-1, and a pair of slide rails 4-3, which are the basic structures for realizing the clamping function. The fixed pressure plate 4-4 slidably connected on the slide rails 4-3 is connected to the drive screw 4-2 by a threaded engagement. When the drive screw 4-2 rotates, the fixed pressure plate 4-4 will move linearly along the slide rails 4-3. By controlling the rotation direction of the drive screw 4-2, the movement of the fixed pressure plate 4-4 is controlled, thereby pressing the graphite boat into the mounting base 3.
[0043] This clamping method effectively prevents the graphite boat from shifting during processing, ensuring processing accuracy. Through the coordinated work of components such as the bottom groove 4-1, drive screw 4-2, slide rail 4-3, and fixed pressure plate 4-4, the clamping assembly 4 stably presses the graphite boat into the mounting base 3, meeting the requirements for graphite boat processing and forming.
[0044] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the dust collection assembly 5 in this embodiment includes a pair of upright plates 5-1, both of which are fixed on the base 1. The top of the upright plate 5-1 is provided with a sliding groove 5-2, and a top frame 5-3 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 5-2. A cavity 5-4 is provided inside the top frame 5-3. A connecting pipe 5-5 is provided on one side of the top frame 5-3, and the connecting pipe 5-5 is connected to the inside of the cavity 5-4. A plurality of dust collection ports 5-6 are provided around the inner surface of the cavity 5-4. A pair of baffles 5-7 are provided on the surface of the base 1, and the baffles 5-7 are magnetically attracted to the top frame 5-3.
[0045] In some examples, a large amount of dust is generated during the processing of graphite boats. In order to maintain a clean working environment and protect the health of operators, a dust collection component 5 is designed. A pair of upright plates 5-1 of this component are fixed on the base 1. The sliding groove 5-2 opened on the top of the upright plate 5-1 is slidably connected to the top frame 5-3, so that the top frame 5-3 can move flexibly on the upright plate 5-1. The cavity 5-4 opened inside the top frame 5-3 is connected to the external dust collection equipment through the connecting pipe 5-5 on one side. Several dust collection ports 5-6 opened around the inner surface of the cavity 5-4 can suck the dust generated during the processing of graphite boats into the cavity 5-4 and then discharge it through the connecting pipe 5-5. A pair of baffles 5-7 set on the surface of the base 1 are magnetically attached to the top frame 5-3, which can ensure that the top frame 5-3 stably covers the top of the graphite boat and improve the dust collection effect.
[0046] Through the coordinated operation of components such as upright plate 5-1, slide 5-2, top frame 5-3, cavity 5-4, connecting pipe 5-5, dust suction port 5-6, and baffle 5-7, the dust suction assembly 5 can effectively cover the top of the graphite boat for dust suction, keeping the working environment clean.
[0047] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment proposes that the processing output component 6 includes a transverse groove 6-1, a drive screw 6-2 is provided inside the transverse groove 6-1, a column 2 is slidably connected inside the transverse groove 6-1, the column 2 and the drive screw 6-2 are connected by a threaded connection, a drive motor 6-3 is provided inside the column 2, a movable column 6-4 is provided at the output end of the drive motor 6-3, the lower end of the movable column 6-4 is slidably fitted to the upper end of the column 2, a second screw 6-5 is provided inside the movable column 6-4, and the movable column 6-5... A lifting frame 6-6 is slidably connected inside the moving column 6-4. The lifting frame 6-6 is connected to the second lead screw 6-5 by a threaded connection. A third lead screw 6-7 is provided inside the lifting frame 6-6. A stabilizing frame 6-8 is slidably connected inside the lifting frame 6-6. The stabilizing frame 6-8 is connected to the third lead screw 6-7 by a threaded connection. A high-speed motor 6-9 is installed on the stabilizing frame 6-8. A telescopic cylinder 6-10 is installed inside the column 2. An anti-slip block 6-11 is provided at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 6-10.
[0048] In some examples, during the machining of graphite boats, a machining output component 6 is designed to achieve stable milling of the graphite boat and facilitate loading and unloading. A drive screw 6-2, located inside the transverse groove 6-1 of this component, is threadedly connected to a column 2 slidably within the transverse groove 6-1. When the drive screw 6-2 rotates, the column 2 can move linearly within the transverse groove 6-1, achieving horizontal position adjustment. A movable column 6-4 at the output end of the drive motor 6-3 inside the column 2 is slidably fitted to the upper end of the column 2. A second screw 6-5 inside the movable column 6-4 is threadedly connected to a lifting frame 6-6, allowing the lifting frame 6-6 to move vertically within the movable column 6-4, adjusting the machining height. The third lead screw 6-7 inside the lifting frame 6-6 is threadedly engaged with the stabilizing frame 6-8, enabling the stabilizing frame 6-8 to move horizontally within the lifting frame 6-6 for further precise adjustment of the machining position. The high-speed motor 6-9 installed on the stabilizing frame 6-8 can drive the cutting tool to perform milling grooves on the graphite boat. The coordinated action of multiple lead screws ensures the stability of the milling process. In addition, the telescopic cylinder 6-10 installed inside the column 2 has an anti-slip block 6-11 at its output end that can provide additional stable support when needed. When it is necessary to load or unload the graphite boat, the column 2 can be moved to one side by controlling the drive lead screw 6-2 and other components. At the same time, the movable column 6-4 and related components work together to keep the high-speed motor 6-9 away from the top of the mounting base 3, providing sufficient operating space for loading and unloading the graphite boat.
[0049] Through the coordinated operation of components such as the transverse groove 6-1, drive screw 6-2, column 2, drive motor 6-3, movable column 6-4, second screw 6-5, lifting frame 6-6, third screw 6-7, stabilizing frame 6-8, high-speed motor 6-9, telescopic cylinder 6-10, and anti-slip block 6-11, the processing output assembly 6 can stably perform milling on the graphite boat and provide convenience when loading and unloading the graphite boat.
[0050] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connection between the slide 5-2 and the top frame 5-3 is a T-shaped structure. The top frame 5-3 is a rectangular frame, and the internal opening size of the top frame 5-3 is larger than the internal size of the mounting base 3.
[0051] In some examples, the T-shaped structure allows the top support 5-3 to be positioned within the groove 5-2, preventing it from falling off and ensuring it remains secure. The larger opening size also helps to avoid obstructing the milling cutter.
[0052] In actual use: Place the graphite boat on the mounting base 3, rotate the drive screw 4-2 to make the fixed pressure plate 4-4 slide along the slide rail 4-3 to clamp the graphite boat, move the top frame 5-3 to cover the graphite boat, the stop bar 5-7 and the top frame 5-3 are magnetically attracted and attached, the connecting pipe 5-5 connects to the external dust collection equipment, start the processing output component 6, drive the screw 6-2 to move the column 2 in the transverse groove 6-1, drive the motor 6-3 to control the movable column 6-4 to move the lifting frame 6-6 and the stabilizing frame 6-8, and the high-speed motor 6-9 drives the tool to perform grooving processing on the graphite boat. After processing is completed, reverse the operation of the drive screw 4-2 to release the graphite boat and move the column 2 and other components to facilitate loading and unloading of the graphite boat.
[0053] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
