[0002] In the production process of crystalline silicon solar cells, the high-temperature diffusion process of silicon wafers is an important step. During the high-temperature diffusion, the silicon wafer is placed in a high-temperature diffusion furnace and passed with gases such as nitrogen and polonium trichloride. After decomposition at high temperature, a phosphorus-nitrogen junction is formed on the surface of the silicon wafer to complete the process. Existing high-temperature diffusion furnaces include horizontal diffusion furnaces, which are used to transport quartz boats in and out. The diffusion furnace system is divided into a cantilever paddle system and a soft landing system. When the existing cantilever paddle system diffusion furnace is in use, the quartz boat is set on the SIC paddle, and the movement of the SIC paddle brings the quartz boat and the silicon wafer inside the quartz boat into the high-temperature diffusion furnace.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific implementation methods disclosed below.
[0030] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram.

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the implementation mode of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 , shows a schematic diagram of the structure of an implementation method of a device for monitoring whether the position of the boat is abnormal, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 , a device for monitoring whether the boat entry position is abnormal is introduced in detail.
[0033] A device for monitoring whether a boat inlet position is abnormal comprises a frame plate 100, the frame plate 100 is in an inverted "L" shape, and at least two parallel slide rails 110 are installed on the top of the frame plate 100, a control box 120 is arranged on the left side of the frame plate 100, and a push plate 140 is arranged on the right side wall of the control box 120 through a multi-section electric push rod 130;
[0034] A quartz boat 200 is slidably placed on the slide rail 110, and the multi-section electric push rod 130 drives the push plate 140 to push the quartz boat 200 to move to the position of the diffusion furnace, which is not shown in the figure;
[0035] Parallel spline rods 300 are arranged on both sides of the slide rail 110 on the frame plate 100. Two spline rods 300 are arranged and are rotatably arranged between the frame plate 100 and the side wall of the control box 120. A transverse spline sleeve 310 is slidably arranged on the rod body of each spline rod 300. A limit spring 320 is arranged on the top of the spline sleeve 310. The other end of the limit spring 320 is hingedly provided with a side clamping plate 330 for clamping the side wall of the quartz boat 200.
[0036] The control box 120 is provided with an installation cavity inside, and a transmission rod 400 is arranged inside the installation cavity to rotate alternately up and down and front and back. The two transmission rods 400 are respectively provided with gears 410 that mesh with each other. The left end of each spline sleeve 310 extends and rotates through the inner cavity of the control box 120 and a first worm gear 420 is provided at the end. The rod bodies of the two transmission rods 400 are respectively provided with a first worm 430 that meshes with the first worm gear 420. The lead angle of the first worm 430 is smaller than the equivalent friction angle between the meshing teeth of the first worm gear 420, and reverse self-locking can be achieved, that is, only the first worm 430 can drive the first worm wheel 420, but the first worm wheel 420 cannot drive the first worm 430, so that the side clamp 330 is more stable after the position is adjusted.
[0037] Furthermore, the quartz boat 200 is provided with a positioning groove 210 for positioning the silicon wafer, the upper end of the slide rail 110 is protruding with a convex strip, and the bottom of the quartz boat 200 is concave to form a groove 220 that slides on the convex strip. The edges of the groove 220 and the convex strip are smoothly arranged to reduce the friction resistance when the two move relative to each other.
[0038] Furthermore, there are two side clamps 330 and they are symmetrically arranged with respect to the front and rear sides of the quartz boat 200. When the two side clamps 330 clamp the front and rear side walls of the quartz boat 200, the front and rear ends of the push plate 140 respectively abut against the left ends of the two side clamps 330. When the multi-section electric push rod 130 is started, the push plate 140 pushes the quartz boat 200 and the two side clamps 330 to gradually move to the position of the super diffusion furnace.
[0039] Furthermore, mounting blocks 340 are provided at both ends of the limit spring 320, the lower mounting block 340 is fixed on the outer wall of the spline sleeve 310, and the upper mounting block 340 is hinged on the side wall of the side clamp 330, and a telescopic rod is provided between the upper and lower mounting blocks 340, and the gap of the telescopic rod is located in the circle of the limit spring 320. The overall bending resistance of the limit spring 320 is improved by the provision of the telescopic rod.
[0040] Furthermore, the telescopic rod includes a hollow sleeve 360 with an open end, and a slide bar 350 sliding in the inner cavity of the sleeve 360. A touch switch 370 is provided at one end of the inner cavity side wall of the sleeve 360 away from the slide bar 350. An alarm 380 is provided on the side wall of the control box 120. The touch switch 370 is electrically connected to the alarm 380. When the quartz boat 200 is tilted, the side clamp 330 on one side is pushed to compress the limit spring 320, and the slide bar 350 slides in the sleeve 360 accordingly. The elastic force of the limit spring 320 is conducive to the straightening of the quartz boat 200. When the quartz boat 200 tilts to a large extent, the slide bar 350 slides to a large extent. After the end touches the touch switch 370, the alarm 380 will sound an alarm, thereby reminding the user that the quartz boat 200 tilts to a large extent and the silicon wafers in the quartz boat 200 may shift and tip over.
[0041] Furthermore, a horizontal driving rod 450 is rotatably provided in the middle of the left side wall of the control box 120, a second worm gear 440 is provided on the rod body of the upper transmission rod 400, and a second worm 460 meshing with the second worm gear 440 is provided on the right end rod body of the driving rod 450. The left end of the driving rod 450 is located outside the control box 120 and is provided with a turntable 470. The outer side of the turntable 470 is provided with anti-slip grooves. After the driving rod 450 is rotated by the turntable 470, the upper transmission rod 400 is driven to rotate by the second worm gear 460 and the second worm gear 440, and then the gear 410 makes the lower transmission rod 400 rotate in the opposite direction to the upper transmission rod 400.
[0042] During specific use, the silicon wafer is placed in the positioning groove 210 of the quartz boat 200, and then the quartz boat 200 is placed on the slide rail 110 and in contact with the right side of the push plate 140. After the drive rod 450 is driven to rotate by the turntable 470, the upper transmission rod 400 is driven to rotate by the second worm 460 and the second worm gear 440, and then the gear 410 makes the lower transmission rod 400 rotate in the opposite direction to the upper transmission rod 400, and then the first worm 430 and the first worm gear 420 drive the two spline sleeves 310 to rotate in the opposite direction at the same time, and the spline sleeves 310 drive the side clamps 330 to clamp the front and rear side walls of the quartz boat 200 respectively, so that the moving quartz boat 200 is more stable. Finally, the multi-section electric push rod 130 is started to push the quartz boat 200 and the two side clamps 330 to gradually move to the position of the diffusion furnace through the push plate 140, and the spline sleeves 310 slide along the spline rods 300.
[0043] During the transportation of the quartz boat 200, when the quartz boat 200 tilts, it pushes the side clamp 330 on one side, causing the limit spring 320 to be compressed, and the slide bar 350 slides in the sleeve 360. The elastic force of the limit spring 320 helps the quartz boat 200 to be straightened. When the quartz boat 200 tilts to a large extent, the slide bar 350 slides to a large extent, and after the end touches the touch switch 370, the alarm 380 will sound an alarm, thereby reminding the user that the quartz boat 200 tilts to a large extent and the silicon wafers therein may shift and fall over.
[0044] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various modifications may be made thereto and parts thereof may be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the embodiments disclosed in the present invention may be used in combination with each other in any manner, and the fact that these combinations are not exhaustively described in this specification is only for the sake of omitting space and saving resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
