The vacuum pump pipeline 10 is provided with a pressure sensor 5, and the vacuum pump pipeline 10 is also provided with a power failure air leakage device 6.
Wherein, be equipped with the muffler on the vacuum pump exhaust pipe 9, still be equipped with automatic bleed valve on the vacuum pump exhaust pipe.
The vacuum pump 8 comprises a vacuum Roots pump and a mechanical pump, the vacuum Roots pump and the mechanical pump are connected through a third corrugated pipe, the vacuum pump pipeline 10 is connected with the vacuum Roots pump, and the vacuum pump exhaust pipeline 9 is connected with the mechanical pump.
The vacuum Roots pump and the mechanical pump are respectively provided with a motor, and the motors, the butterfly valves, the power failure air leakage device, the automatic air release valve and the pressure sensor 5 are all electrically connected with a control unit.
Firstly, adopting a one-to-many working mode of a vacuum pump 8, respectively connecting vacuum pump pipelines 10 to a plurality of single crystal furnaces 1, designing controllable butterfly valves 2 on pipelines 4 extending out of a furnace body, and controlling the butterfly valves 2 to be incapable of being opened simultaneously through program interlocking;
step two, controlling to open one butterfly valve 2, and the other butterfly valves in a closed state, starting to work a vacuum pump 8, evacuating air in the single crystal furnace 1 through a pipeline 4, stopping the mechanical pump when the required preliminary vacuum degree is detected, and continuing to evacuate by a vacuum Roots pump until the vacuum degree of the furnace body reaches the process requirement of less than 0.02 bar;
step three: after reaching the vacuum degree, the vacuum pump 8 stops working, and detects whether other butterfly valves 2 are opened, if yes, the corresponding pipeline butterfly valves 2 are closed, if not, the pressure sensor 5 detects whether the vacuum pump pipeline 10 is at normal pressure, if not, the automatic air release valve is opened, and the detection is carried out again until reaching the normal pressure state;
step four: closing the automatic air release valve, starting the vacuum pump 8 to work, opening the corresponding butterfly valve 2 to work, starting to work, detecting whether the vacuum degree can meet the specified requirement in the specified time, closing the corresponding valve if possible, closing the vacuum pump 8, ending, otherwise, discharging air to the normal pressure in the furnace, and returning to the step of detecting whether the vacuum pump pipeline 10 is at the normal pressure or not until the specified requirement is met.
Aiming at the fact that when other furnace platforms keep an equal diameter state, an absolute stable state is needed to ensure that a full melting zone cannot generate a 'flow melting' accident, the improvement of the method is that a stainless steel corrugated pipe with a proper diameter is added at the joint of each furnace body of a vacuum pump 8, and the influence caused by vibration is reduced to the greatest extent from the mechanical aspect by a soft connection method;
in the aspect of detection control, the sensing device of the pressure sensor 5 and the automatic air release valve is added, and when the vacuum pump 8 just works and the vacuum pump pipe 10 is still in a negative pressure state and vacuumizes other hearths again, the instantaneous opening of the valve of the vacuum pump 8 can drive the vibration of other hearths by the vacuum pump pipe 10, and the two devices are combined with the added benefit, so that the 'flow fusion' accident caused by evacuation can be avoided.
