Description

The air feeder of long brilliant stove
Technical field
The present invention is applied to the air feeder growing brilliant stove, espespecially a kind of brilliant stove air feeder of length that effectively can reduce impurity concentration about a kind of.
Background technology
As everyone knows, solar cell utilizes sunlight and material to interact directly to produce the pollution-free renewable energy resources of one of electric power, especially solar cell in use can't discharge any gas comprising carbonic acid gas, the problem of global greenhouse effect of obviously can improving the ecological environment, solve.
Solar cell is device solar energy converting being become electric energy, and do not need through ionogen to transmit conductive ion, but change adopt semi-conductor produce PN junction to obtain current potential, when semi-conductor is subject to the irradiation of sunlight, a large amount of unbound electrons is adjoint and give birth to, and the movement of this electronics creates electric current, namely produce potential difference at PN junction place.
At present, solar cell mainly divides amorphous, monocrystalline and polycrystalline three kinds; Wherein, as shown in Figure 1, for the brilliant stove of a kind of length in order to manufacture silicon crystal, it mainly melts the crucible 21 of soup 11 for splendid attire silicon based on one, and outside crucible 21, be arranged with side thermal insulation layer 22 and upper thermal insulating layer 23, make the thermal field that formation one seals, and in the middle of thermal field, be provided with well heater 24 in order to heat silicon metal.
Moreover upper thermal insulating layer 23 place of thermal field is provided with one for the pneumatic tube 25 connecting rare gas element, and quantity venting hole 26 not etc.Make, in silicon METAL HEATING PROCESS melting process, to coordinate the gas being inputted predetermined flow velocity by pneumatic tube 25, use the air-flow produced by thermal field, so that the oxide compound easily forming impurity is discharged.
Overall long brilliant stove then can adopt reduce well heater 24 power the silicon in crucible 21 is melted mode that soup 11 solidifies obtains crystal 12 (casting), or adopt side thermal insulation layer 22 moves radiation cooling the silicon in crucible 21 is melted mode that soup 11 solidifies obtains crystal 12 (direct cure system).
Even, a pillar 28 can be connected with further between crucible 21 and base 27; Make to drive crucible 21 to be displaced downwardly to cold-zone through pillar 28, the mode that the silicon in crucible 21 melts soup 11 solidification is made to obtain crystal 12 (Bu Shi method), or import cooling fluid in pillar 28, make the mode that the silicon in crucible 21 melts soup 11 solidification obtain crystal 12 (heat exchanger method).
But, pneumatic tube 25 in the middle of the air feeder of the brilliant stove of the similar length commonly used only outline stretches in the thermal field below upper thermal insulating layer 23, therefore it is as easy as rolling off a log because the mouth of pipe of pneumatic tube 25 and the inner silicon of crucible 21 melt the free surface (silicon melts the surface in contact of soup and gas) of soup 11 apart from long, cause discharge pneumatic tube 25 air-flow cannot effectively by impurity band from free surface, make the crystal impurities concentration of formation higher, thus reduce crystal mass.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, namely the present invention is providing long brilliant stove one effectively can reduce impurity concentration, and using the air feeder promoting crystal mass, is its main purpose.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, air feeder of the present invention includes: a thermal insulation layer, relatively covering at crucible periphery is located at the pneumatic tube on thermal insulation layer, and some venting holes being located at thermal insulation layer, make to coordinate the gas being inputted predetermined flow velocity by pneumatic tube, use the air-flow produced by thermal field, to be discharged by the oxide compound easily forming impurity; Especially, the mouth of pipe place of pneumatic tube is provided with one group can for the pod of adjustment angle, and its air-flow by pneumatic tube is under the effect of pod, and what make the free surface of molten soup synchronously be accepted air-guiding brushes effect, reach the object effectively reducing impurity concentration, and then promote the quality of crystal.
The air feeder of the brilliant stove of length of the present invention can be provided with a regulating mechanism at pneumatic tube place further, make with the free surface height according to crucible height during actually operating or molten soup, and adjust the relative position of pneumatic tube, remain in predetermined spacing range with the free surface of the molten soup of the mouth of pipe and crucible inside accurately controlling pneumatic tube, make with under the condition of same gas flow velocity, the flow velocity of free surface gas can be increased, the impurity gas mixture of gasification can be taken away rapidly the free surface of molten soup, and accelerate the speed of impurity band from free surface.
