Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electrode polishing equipment in polycrystalline silicon production, and specifically to a novel reduction electrode polishing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the chassis cleaning process after the polysilicon reduction furnace is lifted out of the furnace, the existing technology adopts a two-stage treatment mode: first, an industrial vacuum cleaner is used to remove the loosely accumulated silicon powder around the electrodes, and then an operator manually polishes the electrode surface with sandpaper. This technology has the following significant drawbacks: 1. Manual polishing is inefficient: It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to process a single electrode, and the processing effect is greatly affected by the operator's skill level. The amount of residual silicon powder on the electrode surface is unstable. 2. Dust pollution and safety hazards: Dry friction between sandpaper and electrodes generates suspended dust, which not only poses safety risks but also affects the cleanliness of the production workshop; 3. Cleaning blind spots affect product quality: Manual polishing is difficult to cover the electrode cone surface joint area, causing silicon powder to form sintering residues in the subsequent high-temperature process of 650~1200℃, which in turn affects electrical contact performance and product quality.
[0003] The aforementioned technical challenges directly lead to longer cleaning times for the reduction furnace chassis, increased personnel safety risks, and a higher frequency of electrode replacement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel reduction electrode polishing device to solve the problems of long cleaning time and incomplete cleaning of reduction electrodes by manual polishing in the prior art.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A novel electrode polishing device includes a power mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a cleaning component, a base, and a handle. The base is used to fix the handle, the power mechanism, the transmission mechanism, and the cleaning component. The cleaning assembly includes a clamping plate, an end face brush for cleaning the upper surface of the reduction electrode, and a side brush for cleaning the periphery of the reduction electrode. The connecting shaft I of the end face brush passes through the middle of the clamping plate and is connected to the transmission mechanism. The side brush is mounted on the periphery of the clamping plate through the connecting shaft II. The clamping plate is connected to the transmission mechanism. The power mechanism drives the clamping plate and the rotating end face brush to rotate through the transmission mechanism.
[0006] Furthermore, the power mechanism is a pneumatic motor.
[0007] Furthermore, the base includes a base plate for mounting the power mechanism and an electrode positioning seat. The handle is fixed to the base plate via support rod I. The base plate is fixed to the upper bearing end cover of the transmission mechanism via support rod II. The lower bearing end cover of the transmission mechanism is fixed to the electrode positioning seat via support rod III.
[0008] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes an upper bearing end cover, a coupling, a main rotating shaft, a bearing, a bearing housing, and a lower bearing end cover. The output shaft of the power mechanism is connected to the main rotating shaft through the coupling, and the main rotating shaft is supported on the lower bearing end cover by the bearing and the bearing housing.
[0009] Furthermore, the bearing housing is sealed by an oil seal structure, and the main rotating shaft is a hollow shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, the axial position of the main rotating shaft is fixed by a round nut.
[0011] Furthermore, the end-face brush is a cup-shaped end-face brush with a diameter of 80~150mm.
[0012] Furthermore, the side brush is a conical brush, and there are 2 to 4 side brushes. All the side brushes are evenly distributed on the periphery of the clamping plate, and the bristles of the side brushes are arranged in a spiral at an angle of 25 to 30 degrees.
[0013] Furthermore, the clamp plate is connected and fixed to the main rotating shaft.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a control switch, which is connected to the drive mechanism and is used to control the start and stop of the drive mechanism. The control switch is located on the handle.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: I. This utility model proposes a novel reduction electrode polishing device with ingenious structure and convenient use. The device can be started and stopped by controlling the drive mechanism, and the upper end face and conical surface of the reduction electrode can be polished simultaneously. This avoids the operator from having to bend over frequently, and is highly efficient, clean after polishing, and safe and environmentally friendly.
[0016] Second, in this utility model, the power mechanism is a pneumatic motor. The pneumatic motor uses compressed air as power and will not generate electric sparks during operation. This makes the device extremely safe during the grinding, cleaning and reduction of the electrode, and can effectively avoid explosion accidents caused by electrical sparks.
[0017] III. In this utility model, the base includes a base plate and an electrode positioning seat. The handle, transmission mechanism, and cleaning components are connected and fixed via support rods I, II, and III. This facilitates accurate positioning of the device at the appropriate location on the reduction electrode during use, ensuring that the mounting reference surfaces of all components are level, improving efficiency, and simplifying installation and maintenance. Furthermore, the cooperation of the base plate, electrode positioning seat, support rods I, II, and III forms a stable frame, ensuring no displacement of the electrode during grinding.
[0018] IV. In this utility model, the transmission mechanism includes an upper bearing end cover, a coupling, a main rotating shaft, a bearing, a bearing seat, and a lower bearing end cover. The output shaft of the power mechanism is connected to the main rotating shaft through the coupling, and the main rotating shaft is supported on the lower bearing end cover by the bearing and the bearing seat. This transmission mechanism includes two stages of transmission: the first stage is a drive mechanism—a pneumatic motor—directly driving the top end face brush to rotate; the second stage is a drive mechanism that drives the connected clamping disc to rotate, thereby driving the side brushes to rotate and achieving grinding of the reduction electrode conical surface. For example, the drive mechanism uses helical gears and other transmission components to distribute power to three radial output shafts to drive the side brushes, achieving efficient power distribution for multiple cleaning units driven by a single drive.
[0019] V. In this utility model, the bearing housing is sealed by an oil seal structure to protect the structure of the bearing area and prevent dust intrusion or lubricating oil leakage. The main rotating shaft preferably adopts a hollow shaft structure, which reduces space occupancy and is suitable for the narrow electrode arrangement on the reduction furnace chassis. At the same time, it makes the device lighter and easier for frequent manual operation.
[0020] VI. In this utility model, the axial position of the main rotating shaft is fixed by a round nut to prevent displacement.
[0021] VII. In this utility model, the end face brush is a cup-shaped end face brush with a diameter of 80~150mm, and the side brush is a conical brush with 2~4 side brushes. All the side brushes are evenly distributed on the periphery of the clamping plate, and the bristles of the side brushes are arranged in a spiral at an angle of 25~30°, covering the upper end face and periphery of the reduction electrode.
[0022] 8. This utility model also includes a control switch, which is connected to the drive mechanism and is used to control the start and stop of the drive mechanism. The control switch is located on the handle, and the operator can control the start and stop of the device by controlling the control switch on the handle, so as to achieve grinding and cleaning of the reduction electrode without bending over.
