The technical solution of the present invention will be further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1-2, the continuous silicon carbide single crystal growth device comprises a raw material bin 1, a growth bin 2, a recovery bin 3 and a feeding mechanism, wherein the raw material bin 1, the growth bin 2 and the recovery bin 3 are sequentially communicated, the feeding mechanism is used for feeding polycrystalline silicon carbide raw materials 5 in the raw material bin 1 into the growth bin 2, and the feeding mechanism is also used for feeding residues 6 in the growth bin 2 into the recovery bin 3. The raw material bin 1, the growth bin 2 and the recovery bin 3 are communicated from right to left in sequence; the feeding mechanism passes through the raw material bin 1, the growth bin 2 and the recovery bin 3 in sequence along the feeding direction (from the right to the left).

The crucible cover 9 is located above the feeding mechanism. In this embodiment, the above-described apparatus for continuously growing a silicon carbide single crystal further comprises a packing 17 provided between the crucible body 8 and the crucible cover 9. When the crystal grows, the crucible cover 9 is always kept sealed with the crucible body 8 in the lifting process. When the crucible cover 9 is sleeved on the crucible body 8, the crucible cover 9 is in a reversed-buckled cup shape; when the crucible cover 9 is arranged in the crucible body 8 in a penetrating way, the crucible cover 9 is in a disc shape.
In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a continuous screw conveying section 12, and a first motor 18 for driving the continuous screw conveying section 12 to rotate around the axis line thereof. The continuous screw conveyor section 12 is used to transport the residues 6 out of the growth chamber 2 and only by controlling its rotational speed. Because the continuous screw conveying section 12 has a certain length in the crucible body 8, when the silicon carbide polycrystalline raw material 5 is conveyed from the end entering the growth bin 2 to the end leaving the growth bin 2 by controlling the rotating speed of the continuous screw conveying section, the raw material which can participate in crystal growth has enough time to be completely sublimated, and the residue 6 which cannot participate in crystal growth is sent out of the growth bin 2. In the present embodiment, the axial center line of the continuous screw conveying section 12 extends in the horizontal direction.
