Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solution of the present invention better understood, the technical solution of the present invention in the specific embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the attached drawings in the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a feeding device 100 of a crystal growth furnace includes a crystal growth furnace 11, a frame 12, a crucible 13, and a feeding device 14. Specifically, crystal growth furnace 11 is at least partially disposed on frame 12. The crucible 13 is disposed in the accommodating space 111 formed in the crystal growth furnace 11. One end of the charging device 14 is connected to the accommodating space 111, and the raw material to be processed is charged into the crucible 13 through the charging device 14.
As one implementation, the feedstock material delivered to the crucible 13 by the charging device 14 includes a first volume of feedstock material and a second volume of feedstock material, and the first volume is less than the second volume. Specifically, in the process of conveying the raw material by the feeding device 14, because the conveying speed of the first volume of raw material in the feeding device 14 is greater than the conveying speed of the second volume of raw material in the feeding device 14, the first volume of raw material reaches the crucible 13 earlier than the second volume of raw material, and the bottom of the crucible 13 is uniformly paved by the first volume of raw material, so that the crucible 13 is prevented from being damaged due to impact or collision of the second volume of raw material, and the service life of the crucible 13 is prolonged. It will be appreciated that after the first volume of material has been substantially dispensed, the dispensing device 14 begins dispensing a second volume of material into the crucible 13.
As shown in fig. 2, a driving device 15 is further provided in the crystal growth furnace 11 and connected to the crucible 13, and when the first volume of raw material is fed into the crucible 13 along the feeding device 14, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate at a constant speed around the rotation center line 131 of the crucible 13 at a first rotation speed V1, so that the first volume of raw material is substantially uniformly spread on the bottom of the crucible 13. When the first volume of source material is at least partially delivered to the crucible 13, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate at an accelerated speed to the second rotation speed V2, and when the rotation speed of the crucible 13 reaches the second rotation speed V2, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate at a decelerated speed until the rotation speed of the crucible 13 reaches the first rotation speed V1. And the driving means 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate reciprocally and alternately between the first rotational speed V1 and the second rotational speed V2. Wherein the first rotational speed V1 is less than the second rotational speed V2. Through the setting, avoid the raw materials to fall into crucible 13 bottom and directly pile up, and through setting up different slew velocity, can realize evenly laying of raw materials in crucible 13, avoid the raw materials to cause the harm to crucible 13 at the input in-process, prolonged crucible 13's life to crystal growth's efficiency has been promoted.
As shown in fig. 3, as one mode of realization, when the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to perform the alternating reciprocating rotation around the rotation center line 131 of the crucible 13, the rotation speed of the crucible 13 is changed between the first rotation speed V1 and the second rotation speed V2 in a sinusoidal cycle. So that the first volume or the second volume of source material is deposited in the crucible 13 to a height that naturally collapses and the source material is deposited substantially uniformly in the crucible 13. The feeding method in the above embodiment, which uses the first rotation speed V1 and the second rotation speed V2 to rotate alternately and reciprocally, allows the raw material to be substantially uniformly spread on the bottom of the crucible 13, reduces the damage of the second volume of raw material to the crucible 13, and prolongs the service life of the crucible 13.
Further, when the crucible 13 is alternately rotated reciprocally around the rotation center line 131 thereof between the first rotation speed V1 and the second rotation speed V2, the difference between the second rotation speed V2 and the first rotation speed V1 is 1rpm or more and 2.5rpm or less. Specifically, the difference between the second rotational speed V2 and the first rotational speed V1 is 1.1rpm or more and 2.3rpm or less. More specifically, the difference between the second rotational speed V2 and the first rotational speed V1 is 1.2rpm or more and 2rpm or less. Through the arrangement, when the first volume of raw materials or the second volume of raw materials fall into the crucible 13, the first volume of raw materials or the second volume of raw materials are uniformly paved at the bottom of the crucible 13, and the molten raw materials can cover the edge of the crucible 13 under the action of centrifugal force through the reciprocating alternate rotation of the crucible 13, so that the damage of the second volume of raw materials to the crucible 13 is reduced, and the service life of the crucible 13 is prolonged.
It will be appreciated that the crucible 13 is driven by the drive means 15 to rotate at a constant speed at the first rotation speed V1, so that the raw material falls uniformly on the bottom of the crucible 13 in a substantially regular triangular ring. Further, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate alternately and reciprocally between the first rotating speed V1 and the second rotating speed V2, so that the raw material in a molten state is laid on the edge of the crucible 13, and one side end surface of the crucible 13 facing the feeding device 14 can be covered by the raw material in the molten state, thereby avoiding damage to the crucible 13 when the second volume of the raw material falls. The rotation speed of the crucible 13 is not specifically limited, that is, the driving device 15 can drive the crucible 13 to rotate at a constant speed at the first rotation speed V1 or the second rotation speed V2 when the second volume of raw material is fed.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, as one implementation, the driving device 15 further includes a lifting structure capable of driving the crucible 13 to lift, when the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to lift, the lifting direction of the crucible 13 is substantially parallel to the rotation center line 131 of the crucible 13, and the driving device 15 can drive the crucible 13 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the rotation center line 131 of the crucible 13. Specifically, when the crucible 13 rotates at a first rotation speed V1 at a constant speed, the height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 distributed along the direction of the rotation center line 131 of the crucible 13 is set to be H1; when the crucible 13 is alternately rotated back and forth between the first rotational speed V1 and the second rotational speed V2, a height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 distributed in the direction of the rotational center line 131 of the crucible 13 is set to H2, and H1 is larger than H2. It can be understood that when the height difference between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14 is H1, the raw material is fed into the crucible 13 through the feeding device 14, and the initial kinetic energy of the raw material is P1; when the height difference between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14 is H2, the raw material is fed into the crucible 13 through the feeding device 14, the initial kinetic energy of the raw material is P2, and P1 is greater than P2. I.e. when the height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 is H1, so that the raw material is uniformly spread at the bottom of the crucible 13, avoiding the second volume of raw material falling down to damage the crucible 13. When the height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 is H2, the stacking efficiency of the raw material in the crucible 13 is improved, and the crystal growth is facilitated.
Further, in order to more flexibly set the position of the crucible 13 and to extend the service life of the crucible 13, no specific limitation is made on the height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14. That is, during the process of uniform rotation of the crucible 13 at the first rotation speed V1, the height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 can also be set to H2. The height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 can also be set to be H1 during the reciprocating alternating rotation of the crucible 13 between the first rotation speed V1 and the second rotation speed V2. It will be appreciated that the height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 is only used to improve the effect of the deposition of the raw material in the crucible 13 and is not limited to any stage of movement of the crucible 13.
As can be understood, the application mainly improves the laying effect of the raw materials in the crucible 13 by changing the rotating speed of the crucible 13; and changing the height difference between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14, thereby changing the kinetic energy of the falling raw material. In particular, any embodiment in which the position and the rotation speed of the crucible 13 can be adjusted by the driving means 15 is within the scope of the present application.
In one implementation, the crystal growth furnace 11 further comprises a detection device (not shown in the figure) at least partially disposed in the crystal growth furnace 11, and the detection device detects the volume of the raw material in the crucible 13 and releases a volume of shielding gas according to the volume of the raw material in the crucible 13, so as to reduce the oxidation of the raw material in the crucible 13, wherein the shielding gas can be argon or any chemically stable gas can be used as the shielding gas. Specifically, when the volume of the raw material is increased and a preset threshold value is reached, the detection device outputs an adjusting signal to the crystal growth furnace 11, and the crystal growth furnace 11 adjusts the flow of the protective gas released in the crystal growth furnace 11 according to the adjusting signal, so that the working environment for maintaining the raw material crystallization in the crucible 13 is optimized, the crystal growth efficiency is improved, and the productivity of the crystal growth furnace 11 is increased.
The application also provides a feeding method of the crystal growth furnace 11. Specifically, when a first volume of raw material is fed into the crucible 13 along the feeding device 14, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate at a constant speed around the rotation center line 131 of the crucible 13 at a first rotation speed V1, so that the raw material in the crucible 13 can be laid on the bottom of the crucible 13 in a substantially regular triangular ring shape, and at this time, no molten raw material is laid on the edge portion of one end surface of the crucible 13 facing the feeding device 14. Further, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate at an accelerated speed to the second rotation speed V2, so that the raw material in the molten state in the crucible 13 can gradually move to the edge of the crucible 13 by centrifugal force, so that the raw material in the molten state is laid on the edge of the crucible 13, thereby reducing damage to the crucible 13 when the raw material falls down to the crucible 13, and prolonging the service life of the crucible 13. Further, when the rotational speed of the crucible 13 reaches the second rotational speed V2, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate at a reduced speed from the second rotational speed V2 up to the first rotational speed V1, and the crucible 13 is alternately rotated back and forth between the first rotational speed V1 and the second rotational speed V2, and the first rotational speed V1 is smaller than the second rotational speed V2. Through the arrangement, the raw material in a molten state can be uniformly paved on the end face, facing the feeding device 14, of the crucible 13, impact or collision between the falling raw material and the crucible 13 is avoided, damage to the crucible 13 is reduced, and the service life of the crucible 13 is prolonged.
As one implementation, the crucible 13 is accelerated from the first rotating speed V1 to the second rotating speed V2, and when the crucible 13 reaches the second rotating speed V2, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate at a reduced speed from the second rotating speed V2 until the first rotating speed V1, at which time the crucible 13 changes in a sinusoidal cycle between the first rotating speed V1 and the second rotating speed V2, and the difference between the second rotating speed V2 and the first rotating speed V1 is greater than or equal to 1rpm and less than or equal to 2.5rpm. Further, the difference between the second rotational speed V2 and the first rotational speed V1 is 1.1rpm or more and 2.3rpm or less. More specifically, the difference between the second rotational speed V2 and the first rotational speed V1 is 1.2rpm or more and 2rpm or less.
As another implementation, when the feeding device 14 feeds the first volume of raw material, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate at a constant speed at the first rotating speed V1, so that the raw material in the crucible 13 is laid on the bottom of the crucible 13. Further, when the raw material in a molten state is laid on the bottom of the crucible 13 in a substantially regular triangular ring shape, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rotate back and forth alternately between the first rotating speed V1 and the second rotating speed V2, so that the raw material in a molten state can cover the edge of the crucible 13, the damage to the crucible 13 when the second volume of the raw material falls is avoided, and the service life of the crucible 13 is prolonged. More specifically, when the edge of the crucible 13 is covered with the raw material in a molten state, the crucible 13 may be set to rotate at a constant speed at the first rotation speed V1 or the second rotation speed V2, so that the energy consumption of the crystal growth furnace 11 is reduced and substantially the same productivity can be maintained.
As one implementation, when the crucible 13 rotates at a constant speed at the first rotation speed V1, the height difference between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14 is set to H1. At least part of the first volume of material then enters the crucible 13 in preference to the second volume of material so that the first volume of material lays evenly on the bottom of the crucible 13 and the initial kinetic energy of the material output by the dosing means 14 is raised to enable the material to move to a position remote from the dosing means 14. Further, the driving device 15 drives the crucible 13 to rise to a height difference H2 between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14, so as to reduce the initial kinetic energy of the raw material output by the feeding device 14, thereby facilitating the stacking of the raw material in the crucible 13. Specifically, the height difference between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. The crystal growth furnace 11 is internally provided with a detection device for detecting the volume of the raw material in the crucible 13, and when the volume of the raw material in the crucible 13 reaches a preset threshold value, the driving device 15 can drive the crucible 13 to perform position adjustment, namely, change the height difference between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14.
As another implementation, when the crucible 13 rotates at a constant speed at the first rotation speed V1, the height difference between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14 can also be set to be H2.
As another implementation, when the crucible 13 is alternately rotated back and forth between the first rotation speed V1 and the second rotation speed V2, the height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 may be set to H1.
It will be appreciated that there is not necessarily a direct relationship between the height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 and the rotational speed of the crucible 13, and that the height difference between the crucible 13 and the charging device 14 relates to at least one of the level of the molten source material in the crucible 13, the volume of the source material charged, and/or the reaction time in the crucible 13. Therefore, the height difference between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, so as to meet the crystal growth conditions in the crucible 13.
In one implementation, when the volume of the raw material in the crucible 13 increases, the detection device outputs an adjustment signal to the crystal growth furnace 11, and the crystal growth furnace 11 adjusts the flow rate of the shielding gas in the crystal growth furnace 11 according to the adjustment signal, that is, increases or decreases the released shielding gas, thereby controlling the pressure in the crystal growth furnace 11. Specifically, the flow rate of the shielding gas is reduced in accordance with a reduction in the pressure in the crystal growth furnace 11, and the pressure in the crystal growth furnace 11 is reduced in accordance with a reduction in the volume of the raw material in a molten state in the crucible 13. It is understood that the flow rate of the shielding gas may be increased according to the increase of the volume of the raw material in the molten state in the crucible 13, and the flow rate of the shielding gas may be specifically adjusted according to actual conditions. Further, the pressure in the crystal growth furnace 11 is set to 10torr or more and 20torr or less by releasing the protective gas to adjust the pressure in the crystal growth furnace 11.
It is understood that the feeding method of the crystal growth furnace 11 is completed by changing the rotation speed of the crucible 13 and the height difference between the crucible 13 and the feeding device 14 within the scope of the present application.
It will be understood that modifications and variations can be made by persons skilled in the art in light of the above teachings and all such modifications and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
