Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container sealing technology, specifically to a quick-fastening structure for sealed containers. Background Technology
[0002] High-purity silicon carbide is typically produced in pressure vessels, such as CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) furnaces. Therefore, the openings need to be sealed and compressed to withstand thermal stress and pressure differences at high temperatures. Current methods usually employ flange connections, but these require aligning the bolt holes and installing each bolt and nut individually before tightening. While this provides good compression, the process is complex.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN102175200A discloses a quick-pressing mechanism, including a handle bracket with a cavity, a handle with a cavity rotatably mounted at the rear of the handle bracket, and a positioning sleeve mounted at the front of the handle bracket. A pull rod is inserted into the cavity of the handle bracket, the rear end of the pull rod abuts against the handle, and the front end of the pull rod is connected to a tightening sleeve, which is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning sleeve. An elastic element is installed between the pull rod and the handle bracket. In the free state, the rear end of the pull rod pushes the handle open, and in the pressed state, the front end of the pull rod pushes the front end of the tightening sleeve out of the positioning sleeve.
[0004] The above solution is convenient to operate as it only requires pulling the handle to lock. However, in applications such as CVD furnaces and other reactors, its reliability decreases under high and low pressure conditions due to the use of elastic components for reset. Therefore, a fastening structure that is both easy to operate and highly reliable is needed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To better understand the structure, functional features, and advantages of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0021] Example:
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a high-temperature fastening structure for high-purity silicon carbide production equipment, including fastening of the furnace body 11 and furnace cover 12 of the furnace body 1 to be sealed. The fastening structure is used to fasten the lower fastening mechanism 2 for fastening the edge of the furnace body 11, and the upper fastening mechanism 3 for fastening the edge of the furnace cover 12. The upper fastening mechanism 3 is sleeved on the lower fastening mechanism 2, and the top of the upper fastening mechanism 3 is provided with a fastening mechanism 4 for adjusting the distance between the upper fastening mechanism 3 and the lower fastening mechanism 2.
[0023] The edges of the furnace body 11 and the furnace cover 12 are provided with limiting grooves 13, and the two limiting grooves 13 are arranged opposite to each other. The lower latching mechanism 2 includes a support rod 21. The bottom end of the support rod 21 is provided with a lower hook 22 facing the side of the upper latching mechanism 3. The lower hook 22 is embedded in the limiting groove 13 located on the edge of the furnace body 11. The top end of the support rod 21 is provided with a connecting rod 23. The upper latching mechanism 3 is sleeved on the connecting rod 23 and locked by the fastening mechanism 4.
[0024] High-purity silicon carbide is processed within a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) furnace (furnace 1) during its preparation. The negative pressure generated during processing allows external air to flow in, severely impacting the reaction and leading to product spoilage. Similarly, the leakage of flammable gases such as silane and propane from gaps in the furnace body 1 also poses a hazard. Therefore, the connection between the furnace body 11 and the furnace cover 12 must be tight. This application incorporates limiting grooves 13 along the edges of the furnace body 11 and furnace cover 12. The lower hook 22 of the lower locking mechanism 2 is embedded within the limiting groove 13, and the upper locking mechanism 3 slides on the lower locking mechanism 2. After the upper locking mechanism 3 is engaged within the limiting groove 13, it is locked in place by the fastening mechanism 4, thus securing the furnace body 11 and furnace cover 12. Compared to flange connections, which are not only cumbersome but also require aligning the holes on the flange and tightening the bolts 41 one by one, and need to be re-aligned each time the furnace is reused, this application offers greater ease of operation. A sealing gasket is typically required between the furnace body 11 and the furnace cover 12.
[0025] As another embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper latching mechanism 3 of this application includes a slider 31, on which an upper latch 32 is provided. The upper latch 32 faces the lower latch 22 and is opposite to it. The upper latch 32 is embedded in the limiting groove 13 located at the edge of the furnace cover 12. The slider 31 has an opening 33 through which a connecting rod 23 passes. A fastening mechanism 4 is provided at the top of the slider 31. The diameters of the connecting rod 23 and the opening 33 are both smaller than the diameter of the support rod 21. The side of the slider 31 away from the upper latch 32 extends towards the bottom of the support rod 21. The surfaces of both the upper latch 32 and the lower latch 22 are provided with a first toothed groove 51 for increasing friction. A second toothed groove 52 is provided in the limiting groove 13, and the first toothed groove 51 and the second toothed groove 52 mesh. The support rod 21 has a waist hole 211 at the end away from the slider 31. The furnace body 11 is provided with a fixing seat 111, and the fixing seat 111 is provided with a rotating shaft 112, which passes through the waist hole 211. The fastening mechanism 4 includes a bolt 41. The top end of the connecting rod 23 is provided with a thread, and the bolt 41 is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 23. An anti-slip pad 42 is provided between the bolt 41 and the top wall of the slider 31.
[0026] The slider 31 is provided with a downward-facing upper hook 32, which is integrally formed with the slider 31. The lower hook 22 is also integrally formed with the support rod 21. The upper hook 32 and the lower hook 22 correspond to each other and hook into the limiting grooves 13 on the edges of the furnace body 11 and the furnace cover 12, respectively. The opening 33 of the slider 31 allows the slider 31 to slide on the connecting rod 23, thereby adjusting the distance between the upper hook 32 and the lower hook 22 for easy tightening and loosening. The diameter of the connecting rod 23 and the opening 33 is smaller than the diameter of the support rod 21, which limits the movement of the slider 31 towards the support rod 21, so that the tightening degree of each clamping device is not much different. On the one hand, it can make the sealing gasket between the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 relatively uniform in force, resulting in better sealing effect in long-term use. On the other hand, it can prevent excessive tightening from damaging the edges of the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11, and also prevent the support rod 21 from breaking due to excessive local stress. The slider 31, located away from the upper hook 32, extends towards the support rod 21 or the lower hook 22, increasing the coverage area of the slider 31 on the support rod 21 and providing support. This reduces the probability of the support rod 21 breaking due to increased local stress after compression. The first toothed groove 51 and the second toothed groove 52 increase friction after compression, preventing the upper hook 32 or the lower hook 22 from slipping out of the limiting groove 13 under pressure. The fixed seat 111 is welded to the furnace body 11. The rotating shaft 112 can be welded to the fixed seat 111 or inserted into it like a pin. This application uses welding to improve connection stability under pressure. The waist hole 211 passes through the rotating shaft 112. When compression is required, the support rod 21 is rotated upwards, and the lower hook 22 and the upper hook 32 are embedded in the limiting groove 13. The bolt 41 is then tightened, further improving the ease of operation. The anti-slip pad 42 is existing technology and can be either toothed or toothless. The anti-slip pad 42 with toothed surfaces has stepped toothed surfaces, and toothed surfaces that mesh with the toothed surfaces are also engraved on the top of the slider 31 and the bolt 41. This reduces the loosening of the bolt 41 caused by vibration after tightening. This application uses an anti-slip pad 42 without toothed surfaces, with a surface roughness greater than that of the bolt 41. Because the furnace body 1 operates under negative pressure, the probability of the bolt 41 loosening is relatively small. If it is a positive high-pressure vessel such as a reactor, then an anti-slip pad 42 with toothed surfaces is required.
[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technology of this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this technical solution.
