The first section of conveyor line 91 and the second section of conveyor line 92 are butted. In the first section of conveyor line 91, a boat sheet carrier positioning mechanism is arranged. The boat sheet carrier positioning mechanism is composed of a cylinder driving a convex shaft to insert into the boat sheet to realize boat sheet positioning. At the end of the second section of conveyor line 92, a detection camera 93 and an air knife 94 are arranged. The detection camera 93 is used to detect the appearance and clamping points on the boat sheet. At the same time, the air knife 94 cleans the dust on the surface of the boat sheet and the graphite boat residues on the carrier plate.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 2 , a boat sheet caching mechanism 6 is arranged in the graphite boat sheet buffer area 2. The boat sheet caching mechanism 6 is used to cache scrapped boat sheets and good-quality boat sheets. The detected unqualified boat sheets are put into the boat sheet caching mechanism 6 for discharging, and the good-quality boat sheets are taken away to replace the scrapped boat sheets;

[0070] The boat piece caching mechanism 6 is connected to the boat piece temporary caching mechanism 8, and the boat piece temporary caching mechanism 8 is connected to the boat piece clamping point machine. A gantry handling mechanism 7 is horizontally arranged above the boat piece temporary caching mechanism 8 and the boat piece caching mechanism 6. The gantry handling mechanism 7 travels back and forth through the boat piece temporary caching mechanism 8, the boat piece caching mechanism 6, and the graphite boat piece transmission device 9 for handling boat pieces among the three parties.

[0071] Working principle: The graphite boat is loaded onto the loading and unloading turnover mechanism 10. The graphite boat rotating handling mechanism 4 rotates the graphite boat on the loading and unloading turnover mechanism 10 by 90° and then transports it to the graphite boat disassembly and assembly component 5 for disassembling nuts, ceramic rings, and electrode blocks. The graphite boat piece handling mechanism 11 sequentially adsorbs the boat pieces and places them into the graphite boat piece transmission device 9 for transportation to the boat piece temporary caching mechanism 8. After being detected by the clamping point machine and having the clamping points replaced, it is sent back to the graphite boat disassembly and assembly component 5 for assembly. The assembled graphite boat is then sent to the loading and unloading turnover mechanism 10 for unloading.

[0072] During this process, the scrapped boat pieces, nuts, and ceramic rings are automatically replaced.

[0073] The whole process has a high degree of automation. The two graphite boat disassembly and assembly components 5 work alternately, and the disassembly and assembly are completed integrally, greatly improving the efficiency of graphite boat piece calibration and replacement of accessories. The structure is compact and occupies a small area.

[0075] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
