In the conventional RCZ monocrystalline silicon drawing process, the service life of a single crucible can reach more than 300h, and the number of drawn silicon rods is about 5-7. After the single crystal furnace is shut down and is disassembled clearly, feeding can be carried out, a certain amount of silicon material can be filled into the quartz crucible at the moment, the quartz crucible is heated after evacuation and pressurization, the silicon material in the crucible is melted, after the silicon material which is filled in the crucible for the first time is melted, the quartz crucible is continuously fed into the quartz crucible through the quartz feeding cylinder for multiple times, and finally, the feeding process is completed when the silicon material is fed to the feeding limit of the crucible.
Taking the 32-inch thermal field which is the most common thermal field at present as an example, after the silicon material in the crucible is completely melted, the total charging amount of the crucible is about 650kg, and the initial charging amount of the crucible is about 350 kg. In the crucible initial charging and material melting process, the single crystal furnace has a temperature rise process, and the whole process lasts for about 1-2 hours, so the initial charging and material melting efficiency is lower than the secondary charging and material melting efficiency. At present, the initial charging and material melting efficiency is about 50kg/h, and the secondary charging and material melting efficiency is about 70 kg/h. The method is especially important for shortening the whole material melting time, improving the material melting efficiency and improving the initial material melting efficiency.

The water-cooling screen is continuously communicated with cooling water, the whole water-cooling screen and the peripheral temperature of the water-cooling screen are integrally lower, and the water-cooling screen can quickly absorb the temperature in the single crystal furnace in the material melting process, so that the temperature in the single crystal furnace is lower under the same power condition, and the initial material charging efficiency is greatly influenced.

Detailed Description
The invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, an embodiment of the invention provides a material melting apparatus 100. The material melting device 100 comprises a crucible 10, a water screen 30 and a heat insulation mechanism 50. The water screen 30 is provided above the crucible 10. The insulation mechanism 50 includes insulation panels 52. The heat shield 52 is disposed between the crucible 10 and the water screen 30. The heat shield 52 serves to block heat convection between the crucible 10 and the water shield 30.
The crucible 10 and the water screen 30 may be of an industry-wide design and will not be described in detail herein.
The melting device 100 further comprises a lifting mechanism 70. The pulling mechanism 70 includes a collet 71. The heat insulation mechanism 50 includes a heat insulation plate 52, a connecting rod 54 and a connecting head 56. The heat insulation plate 52 and the connector 56 are respectively disposed at two ends of the connecting rod 54. The connector 56 is connected to the collet 70. The lifting mechanism 70 can control the heat insulation mechanism 50 to be lifted up and down so that the heat insulation plate 52 is positioned between the crucible 10 and the water screen 30.
In at least one embodiment, the connector 56 is provided with internal threads that mate with external threads of the collet 70.
In at least one embodiment, the heat shield 52 is circular and the water screen 30 includes a lower opening near one end of the crucible, the lower opening being annular. The diameter of the heat insulation plate 52 is 20 to 30 millimeters smaller than the inner diameter of the lower opening of the water-cooling screen. Too large a heat shield 52 tends to block the passage of gases during pressurization, and too small a heat shield 52 can impair the ability to block thermal convection between the crucible 10 and the water screen 30.
In at least one embodiment, the heat shield mechanism 50 further includes a plug screw 58, the plug screw 58 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 54, and the heat shield plate 52 is detachably connected to the plug screw 58. It is understood that the heat shield 52 and the plug screw 58 may be connected by a screw or a snap fit.
The heat insulation mechanism 50 is made of a material with a small thermal field conductivity coefficient, such as a carbon-carbon composite material, which can withstand a high temperature of 1450 ℃ or higher during use, and does not deform, drop slag or pollute the silicon material at the high temperature.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for using a material melting device 100, including:
s1, filling the crucible 10 with silicon material.
S2, vacuumizing, pressurizing and heating the material melting device 100 to melt the materials.
S3, installing the heat insulation plate 52 of the heat insulation mechanism 50 between the crucible 10 and the water screen 30 to block the heat convection between the crucible 10 and the water screen 30.
In this step, the heat shield 52 is attached to the link 54, and the link 54 is attached to the connector 56. The connecting head 56 is mounted to the chuck 71 of the pulling mechanism 70, and the heat insulating plate 52 is moved by the pulling mechanism 70 so that the heat insulating plate 52 is positioned between the crucible 10 and the water screen 30.
And S4, taking out the heat insulation plate 52 after the material melting is finished.
S5, continuously filling the crucible 10 with silicon material. When the material melting device 100 enters the material melting process after evacuation and pressurization, the heat insulation mechanism 50 can be fixed on the chuck 70, otherwise, because the heat insulation mechanism 50 is light in weight, the gas change in the furnace cavity can cause the heat insulation mechanism 50 to shake in the crucible during evacuation and pressurization, thereby causing a dropping accident.
As a concrete use scenario illustrates, in a 32-inch thermal field, the initial charging weight is about 350kg, the initial charging efficiency is 50kg/h, and the total time of initial charging (charging when a small amount of solid is needed in a crucible) is about 6.5 h. By using the heat insulation mechanism 50, under the condition of the same power and the same initial charging material weight, the initial charging material efficiency is improved to 55kg/h, the time consumption is shortened to 5.8h, the initial charging material time is shortened to 0.7 h/furnace, and the initial charging material time is reduced by 10.77%.
The service life of a single crucible is calculated according to 300h, and the number of furnaces for initially charging materials per month of a single furnace is as follows: 30 (days) × 24 (h/day)/300 (oven/h) =2.4 ovens/month; with the use of the thermal isolation mechanism 50, a single furnace can save time: 2.4 (oven/month) × 0.7 (h/oven) =1.68 (h/month). According to the unit yield of 150 kg/day, the capacity of each furnace can be increased every month: 1.68 (h/month)/30 (days/month) × 150 (kg/day)/24 (h/day) =0.35 kg/day. By using the scheme of the heat insulation mechanism 50, the yield per unit can be improved by 0.35 kg/day. For example, 126 tons of crystal bars can be produced per year according to 1000 furnaces.
  are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, numerous changes and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the invention, and such changes and modifications are to be considered within the scope of the invention.
