Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of polycrystalline silicon ingot casting, specifically to an ingot casting device for a polycrystalline silicon ingot casting furnace. Background Technology
[0002] A polycrystalline silicon ingot furnace is a process testing instrument used in the fields of physics, metallurgical engineering technology, and energy science and technology. The ingot casting device inside the polycrystalline silicon ingot furnace can melt polycrystalline silicon fragments into molten silicon and then cast them into silicon ingots.
[0003] However, existing technologies still have the following problems: the silicon crystals produced by these devices are often manually demolded, which results in low automation of the entire device, poor demolding effect, and reduced practicality of the entire device.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the inventors have proposed a polycrystalline silicon ingot casting device for use in a polycrystalline silicon ingot furnace. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a polycrystalline silicon ingot casting furnace device that does not change the structure of the crucible itself, does not affect the polycrystalline silicon casting quality, and facilitates the removal of polycrystalline silicon ingots.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] The device includes a crucible, with an extended enclosure on the top of the crucible that moves up and down along the height of the crucible. A drive unit is connected to the extended enclosure toward the end of the crucible. Two movable blocks are provided on each side of the crucible, and the drive unit is located between the two movable blocks. An adjusting rod is slidably connected to the top of each movable block, and a blade-shaped strip is fixed to the adjusting rod toward the crucible side. Several blade-shaped strips are provided.
[0008] Furthermore, the driving component includes a fixing plate fixed to the side of the crucible, a first cylinder is mounted on the fixing plate, the output end of the first cylinder abuts against a lug plate, the lug plate is fixed to the side of the extended enclosure, and the lug plate is integrally fixed with the extended enclosure.
[0009] Using the above technical solution, after the first cylinder is opened, the first cylinder can drive the extension barrier to move up and down. When the extension barrier moves downward, it can abut against the top of the crucible to extend the polycrystalline silicon ingot and facilitate subsequent automatic demolding.
[0010] Furthermore, a piston rod is connected to the bottom of the moving block, and a second cylinder is connected to the end of the piston rod away from the moving block. A fixing frame is provided outside the second cylinder, and the side of the fixing frame is bonded to the side of the crucible.
[0011] Using the above technical solution, the moving block can be driven to move up and down by the second cylinder. When the moving block moves up, it can drive the polycrystalline silicon ingot to move up, which can automatically demold the polycrystalline silicon and facilitate operation.
[0012] Furthermore, a fixed block is fixed to the end of the moving block away from the piston rod, and the adjusting rod is slidably connected inside the fixed block. A baffle is fixed to the end of the adjusting rod away from the crucible, and a spring is fixed between the baffle and the fixed block. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the adjusting rod has a wedge-shaped surface on its side, which is located close to the blade strip and above the blade strip.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the extended enclosure moves up and down, the adjusting rod can be automatically driven to move left and right, avoiding the adjusting rod restricting the movement of the extended enclosure. At the same time, the blade-shaped strip can be inserted into the side of the polycrystalline silicon ingot, improving the stability of subsequent automatic demolding.
[0015] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. A moving block is adopted, which can be driven to move up and down by a second cylinder. When the moving block moves up, it can drive the polycrystalline silicon ingot to move up, which can automatically demold the polycrystalline silicon and facilitate operation.
[0017] 2. A first cylinder is used. After the first cylinder is opened, it can drive the extension barrier to move up and down. When the extension barrier moves downward, it can abut against the top of the crucible to extend the polycrystalline silicon ingot and facilitate subsequent automatic demolding.
[0018] 3. An adjusting rod is adopted, which can automatically drive the adjusting rod to move left and right when the extended enclosure moves up and down, avoiding the adjusting rod restricting the movement of the extended enclosure. At the same time, the blade-shaped strip can be inserted into the side of the polycrystalline silicon ingot to improve the stability of subsequent automatic demolding. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution comprising: a crucible 1, wherein an extended enclosure 2 is provided on the top of the crucible 1, the extended enclosure 2 moves up and down along the height direction of the crucible 1, a driving component is connected to the end of the extended enclosure 2 facing the crucible 1, and a moving block 3 is provided on the side of the crucible 1, with two moving blocks 3 on each side of the crucible 1, the driving component being located between the two moving blocks 3, and an adjusting rod 4 is slidably connected to the top of the moving block 3, and a blade-shaped strip 5 is fixed to the adjusting rod 4 facing the crucible 1, the blade-shaped strip 5 being provided in several parts.
[0027] Specifically, the driving component includes a fixing plate 6 fixed to the side of the crucible 1, a first cylinder 7 mounted on the fixing plate 6, an ear plate 8 fixed to the output end of the first cylinder 7, the ear plate 8 fixed to the side of the extended enclosure 2, and the ear plate 8 and the extended enclosure 2 are fixed together.
[0028] In this embodiment, the extended enclosure 2 is made of the same material as the crucible 1. The extended enclosure 2 is located at the top of the crucible 1. After the first cylinder 7 is opened, the first cylinder 7 can drive the extended enclosure 2 to move up and down. When the extended enclosure 2 moves downward, it can abut against the top of the crucible 1.
[0029] A piston rod is connected to the bottom of the movable block 3. A second cylinder 10 is connected to the end of the piston rod away from the movable block 3. A fixing frame 11 is provided on the outside of the second cylinder 10. The side of the fixing frame 11 is glued to the side of the crucible 1.
[0030] The moving block 3 is fixed with a fixed block 12 at the end away from the piston rod. The adjusting rod 4 is slidably connected inside the fixed block 12. The adjusting rod 4 is fixed with a baffle 13 at the end away from the crucible 1. A spring 14 is fixed between the baffle 13 and the fixed block 12. The spring 14 is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting rod 4.
[0031] The adjusting rod 4 has a wedge-shaped surface 9 on its side, which is located close to the blade strip 5 and above the blade strip 5.
[0032] The adjusting rod 4 can slide freely inside the fixed block 12 and is pulled by the spring 14. After the upper extension enclosure 2 moves down, it can abut along the wedge surface 9, driving the adjusting rod 4 to move towards the baffle 13. Then the spring 14 begins to compress. After the extension enclosure 2 moves up, as the spring 14 returns to its original position, it drives the adjusting rod 4 to move towards the crucible 1. After the adjusting rod 4 moves, its end face can extend into the interior of the crucible 1.
[0033] Meanwhile, the height of the adjusting rod 4 can be adjusted by driving the second cylinder 10. After the second cylinder 10 is driven, the moving block 3 moves, which in turn moves the adjusting rod 4 above.
[0034] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The crucible 1 is placed inside a casting furnace. During polycrystalline silicon ingot casting inside the crucible 1, the first cylinder 7 is opened, driving the extension barrier 2 to contact the top of the crucible 1. As the extension barrier 2 moves downward, it first contacts the wedge-shaped surface 9 of the adjusting rod 4, driving the adjusting rod 4 to move away from the end of the crucible 1. Simultaneously, the sealing cap of the crucible 1 is covered on top of the extension barrier 2. Thus, after the polycrystalline silicon is formed, an extension block exceeding the height of the crucible 1 is formed at the tail. When removing the polycrystalline silicon, it can be removed again... The first cylinder 7 drives the expansion enclosure 2 to rise. During the reset process of the spring 14, the adjusting rod 4 automatically moves towards the crucible 1 end. The blade 5 at the end of the adjusting rod 4 abuts against the side of the expansion block. Since the adjusting rod 4 is driven by the spring 14, there is an impact force in the direction of the expansion block, so the blade 5 can be embedded inside the expansion block. Then, driven by the second cylinder 10, the entire polycrystalline silicon ingot can be lifted by the four adjusting rods 4, which makes it easier to remove the material. After removing the material, the expansion block part on the polycrystalline silicon ingot can be cut off.
