Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grinding auxiliary equipment, specifically to a fixed platform for grinding hot zone components of a single crystal furnace. Background Technology
[0002] In single crystal pulling, the gas guide tube and graphite electrode in the single crystal furnace are key components of the crystal growth thermal field system. The gas guide tube is mainly used to guide and protect the flow direction of inert gas (such as argon), ensuring a stable inert gas environment inside the furnace. It can not only adjust the gas flow path, but also help control the temperature distribution inside the furnace, optimize the uniformity of the crystal growth thermal field, and at the same time, the gas guide tube can directionally discharge volatile impurities generated during single crystal growth, maintaining the purity of the growth environment. The graphite electrode is mainly used to connect the external power supply to the furnace heater, thereby converting electrical energy into heat energy, providing a high-temperature environment for melting and maintaining the molten state of silicon.
[0003] During the high-temperature drawing process in the furnace, a significant amount of impurity crystals accumulate inside the gas guide tube, and oxides also accumulate on the surface of the tube. These oxide crystals can obstruct the airflow channels inside the gas guide tube and cause mechanical interference between the gas guide tube and the hot zone components. These oxide crystals can also accumulate on the surface of the black electrode, causing unevenness and resulting in poor contact with the main heater or arcing. To avoid these problems, both the gas guide tube and the hot zone must be thoroughly cleaned and polished before each maintenance cycle, until the gas is scrapped. This reduces the cost of single-crystal drawing.
[0004] Currently, the methods for polishing gas guide tubes and graphite electrodes are either to place them freely on the ground or a table for polishing, or to hold them directly in one's hand for polishing. However, these thermal field components are all cylindrical, and they will roll back and forth on the ground or table during polishing. They are also unstable when held in one's hand, posing safety hazards such as incomplete polishing, dropping and breaking during polishing, or even injuring people. If they are not polished, cleaned, or leveled before being put into the furnace for use, it will lead to uneven thermal field, which will seriously affect the single crystal pulling process.

[0049] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0050] See Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a fixed platform for polishing hot zone components of a single crystal furnace, comprising:
[0051] The countertop is 100mm wide and has vertical partitions 110mm wide.
[0052] A first clamping member 200, located on a platform 100 on one side of the partition 110, is used to clamp the air guide cylinder to vertically fix it on the platform 100; and
[0053] The second clamping member 300 is located on the platform 100 on the other side of the partition 110 and is used to clamp the graphite electrode to fix it vertically on the platform 100.
[0054] The cylindrical air guide tube and graphite electrode can be clamped and fixed on the table 100 by the first clamping member 200 and the second clamping member 300 respectively to improve stability and effectively prevent such hot field components from rolling during the grinding process, reducing the safety hazards of falling and breaking or even injuring people. This allows employees to thoroughly grind and clean the oxide crystals inside and outside the air guide tube and grind the graphite electrode end face flat, completely eliminating the impact on single crystal pulling.
[0055] The first clamping component 200 includes a first fixed clamp 210, a first movable clamp 220, and a first quick clamp 230. The first fixed clamp 210 is connected to one side of the partition 110. The first movable clamp 220 is arranged opposite to the first fixed clamp 210 to reserve a first clamping space. The output end (screw) of the first quick clamp 230 is connected to the first movable clamp 220. The support of the first quick clamp 230 is connected to the table 100 through a first support block 240. The air guide tube is placed vertically on the table 100 corresponding to the first clamping space. Then, the input end (handle) of the first quick clamp 230 is rotated to move the first movable clamp 220 closer to or away from the first fixed clamp 210 to change the size of the first clamping space, thereby clamping or releasing the air guide tube.
[0056] See Figure 1As shown, the first fixing clamp 210 includes a first mounting plate 211 and a first limiting block 212. The first mounting plate 211 is fixedly connected to one side of the partition 110. The first limiting block 212 is detachably connected to the first mounting plate 211 by screws. The first limiting block 212 has an arc surface adapted to the air guide cylinder. The first moving clamp 220 includes a second mounting plate 221 and a second limiting block 222. The second mounting plate 221 is fixedly connected to the output end (screw) of the first quick clamp 230. The second limiting block 222 is detachably connected to the second mounting plate 221 by screws. The second limiting block 222 has an arc surface adapted to the air guide cylinder. By having the arc surfaces of the first limiting block 212 and the second limiting block 222 fit against the outer wall of the air guide cylinder, the contact area between the first fixed clamp 210, the first movable clamp 220 and the air guide cylinder can be increased, which can effectively improve the stability of the air guide cylinder after it is clamped, thus facilitating the grinding operation by the employees. In addition, the detachable first limiting block 212 and the second limiting block 222 are easy to replace, thereby clamping different models of air guide cylinders and expanding the applicability of this fixed platform.
[0057] The second clamping member 300 includes a second fixed clamp 310, a second movable clamp 320, and a second quick clamp 330. The second fixed clamp 310 is connected to the other side of the partition 110. The second movable clamp 320 is arranged opposite to the second fixed clamp 310 to reserve a second clamping space. The output end (screw) of the second quick clamp 330 is connected to the second movable clamp 320. The support of the second quick clamp 330 is connected to the table 100 through a second support block 340. The graphite electrode is placed vertically on the table 100 corresponding to the second clamping space. Then, the input end (handle) of the second quick clamp 330 is rotated to move the second movable clamp 320 closer to or away from the second fixed clamp 310 to change the size of the second clamping space, thereby clamping or releasing the graphite electrode.
[0058] See Figure 1As shown, the second fixed clamp 310 includes a third mounting plate 311 and a third limiting block 312. The third mounting plate 311 is fixedly connected to the other side of the partition 110. The third limiting block 312 is detachably connected to the third mounting plate 311 by screws. The third limiting block 312 has an arc surface adapted to the graphite electrode. The second movable clamp 320 includes a fourth mounting plate 321 and a fourth limiting block 322. The fourth mounting plate 321 is fixedly connected to the output end (screw) of the second quick clamp 330. The fourth limiting block 322 is detachably connected to the fourth mounting plate 321 by screws. The fourth limiting block 322 has an arc surface adapted to the graphite electrode. By having the arc surfaces of the third limiting block 312 and the fourth limiting block 322 fit against the outer wall of the graphite electrode, the contact area between the second fixed clamp 310, the second moving clamp 320 and the graphite electrode can be increased, which can effectively improve the stability of the graphite electrode after it is clamped, thus facilitating the grinding operation by the employees. In addition, the detachable third limiting block 312 and the fourth limiting block 322 are easy to replace, thereby clamping different types of graphite electrodes and expanding the applicability of this fixing platform.
[0059] In this embodiment, two sets of first clamping members 200 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the platform 100 on one side of the partition 110, and three sets of second clamping members 300 are arranged at equal intervals along the width direction of the platform 100 on the other side of the partition 110. In this way, two air guides and three graphite electrodes can be clamped simultaneously, improving grinding efficiency and saving grinding time.
[0060] Several dust-draining holes are provided on the table 100. Through these dust-draining holes, the oxide crystals polished off from the air guide and graphite electrode can fall directly below the table 100, reducing accumulation and avoiding affecting the subsequent polishing of the hot zone components.
[0061] See Figure 2 As shown, a support 120 is provided under the tabletop 100, and a dust collection box 130 with its top communicating with the dust leakage hole is installed on the support 120. The dust collection box 130 is equipped with a drawer-type dust hopper 131 that can be removed from one side. The dust collection box 130 can collect the oxide crystals polished off the air guide and graphite electrode, reducing the messiness of the working environment; the drawer-type dust hopper 131 can transfer the oxide crystals, thus cleaning the dust collection box 130.
[0062] The fixed platform for polishing the hot zone components of the single crystal furnace also includes a dust collection assembly 400, used to draw dust from the ash collection box 130 to generate negative pressure at the ash leakage hole. Specifically, the dust collection assembly 400 includes a dust collection hose 410 and a dust collection fan 420. One end of the dust collection hose 410 is connected to the ash collection box 130 and a filter screen (not shown in the figure) is installed at that end. The dust collection fan 420 is suspended on the bracket 120, and its inlet is connected to the other end of the dust collection hose 410. After clamping the air guide cylinder and the graphite electrode, turning on the dust collection fan 420 allows the dust collection box 130 to be drawn through the dust collection hose 410 to generate negative pressure at the ash leakage hole. This promptly draws the oxide crystals polished from the air guide cylinder and the graphite electrode into the ash collection box 130, preventing dust generation, purifying the working environment, and further reducing the occurrence of a dirty and messy working environment.
[0063] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions of this utility model. Any technical solution that can be implemented based on the above embodiments without creative effort should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
