Abstract

Provided is a gemstone growing device including: a first pipe; a second pipe disposed below the first pipe and connected to the first pipe; a third pipe configured to surround the second pipe; a mixed material input part disposed in the first pipe; an oxygen input pipe connected to the first pipe; a first hydrogen input pipe connected to the third pipe; and a muffle disposed below the third pipe.

Claims

1. A gemstone growing device comprising:

a first pipe;

a second pipe disposed below the first pipe and connected to the first pipe;

a third pipe configured to surround the second pipe;

a mixed material input part disposed in the first pipe;

an oxygen input pipe connected to the first pipe;

a first hydrogen input pipe connected to the third pipe; and

a muffle disposed below the third pipe.

2. The gemstone growing device of claim 1, further comprising a second hydrogen input pipe connected to the third pipe.

3. The gemstone growing device of claim 1, further comprising an external air input pipe connected to the third pipe.

4. The gemstone growing device of claim 1, further comprising a first tapping bar disposed in the mixed material input part,

wherein the mixed material input part comprises a mesh net that contacts a lower end of the first tapping bar.

5. The gemstone growing device of claim 4, further comprising:

a second tapping bar connected to the first tapping bar;

a cover provided on the mixed material input part and having a groove;

a spring provided in the groove;

a pressing part provided on a sidewall of the first tapping bar to press the spring; and

a third tapping bar configured to collide with the second tapping bar while moving upward and downward,

wherein the spring pushes the pressing part upward.

6. The gemstone growing device of claim 1, further comprising:

screens provided between the second pipe and the third pipe; and

ceramic balls disposed between the screens.

7. A method for driving a gemstone growing device, the method comprising:

preparing a mixed material by inputting the mixed material into a mixed material input part;

forming a preliminary flame by using hydrogen, which is supplied through a first hydrogen input pipe, and air, which is supplied through an external air input pipe;

forming a main flame by using hydrogen, which is supplied through a second hydrogen input pipe, and air, which is supplied through an oxygen input pipe; and

growing a synthetic gemstone by using the main flame.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the growing of the synthetic gemstone comprises:

generating a vibration in a mesh net of the mixed material input part by using a first tapping bar; and

melting the mixed material by using the main flame, and

the generating of the vibration in the mesh net comprises;

colliding a second tapping bar with a third tapping bar connected to the first tapping bar by moving the second tapping bar upward and downward;

pressing a spring, which is disposed below a pressing part, by the pressing part fixed on a sidewall of the first tapping bar; and

pushing the pressing part upward by the spring.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising performing a purging,

wherein the performing of the purging comprises:

supplying air into the gemstone growing device through the external air input pipe; and

removing foreign substances and the hydrogen, which are remained in the gemstone growing device.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the forming of the preliminary flame comprises forming the preliminary flame by using a spark plug provided on a sidewall of the external air input pipe, and

the forming of the main flame comprises stopping the supply of the hydrogen through the first hydrogen input pipe and stopping the supply of the air through the external air input pipe.
