[0034] Specifically, a groove is formed on the surface of the feeding pipe 1201 at one end of the placing bucket 11.

[0035] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the provision of the groove facilitates the polysilicon in the hopper 11 to enter the interior of the delivery pipe 1201 .

[0038] Working principle: When the purification furnace body 1 and the heating coil 2 are heating, the air guide pipe 14 conveys the hot air to the conveying component 12, and the servo motor 1204 is started at this time. The output shaft of the servo motor 1204 drives the feed shaft 1202, and the feed shaft 1202 rotates to drive the auger 1203 to rotate, thereby conveying the polysilicon placed in the bucket 11. At this time, the polysilicon will be preheated, and then the preheated polysilicon enters the interior of the purification furnace body 1 through the guide pipe 13. After the polysilicon is melted, it will be formed on the surface of the ingot shell 5, and then the ingot shell 5 is unloaded by the electric cylinder 7.
