These devices typically utilize a quartz inner cavity to accommodate the production needs of large-sized silicon wafers. The quartz tubes are approximately 500 mm in diameter, 4000 mm in length, and weigh approximately 80 kg. The top layer of the quartz tube is approximately 4 meters above the ground.

[0029] The loading, unloading, and maintenance of quartz tubes primarily rely on manual labor. Due to the dense vertical arrangement of tubes within tubular equipment, workers need to carry and lift the quartz tubes to remove or load them into the furnace tubes. As the height of the quartz tubes increases, the difficulty of handling them and the risk of dropping or damaging them also increase. Furthermore, if minor cracks develop during handling that are difficult to detect, they could affect product quality or require maintenance rework. The quartz tube replacement process requires multiple personnel to enter the equipment to perform the operation, which not only impacts the normal production of other furnace tubes and leads to a decrease in output, but also increases personal safety risks and labor waste.

[0031] It should be understood that the quartz tube 1 has the advantages of good thermal stability, good light transmittance and good insulation performance, but the quartz tube 1 also has the disadvantage of being fragile, and the quartz tube 1 is arranged in a round tube. The loading device for conveying the quartz tube 1 in the present application includes a frame 3, the frame 3 has a length, a width and a height, and the frame 3 has an inner cavity. The first guide assembly 4 is connected to the frame 3, and the connection method can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection, such as welding, bolt connection and other connection methods, which are not limited in the present application. The first guide assembly 4 extends along the height direction of the frame 3, and the second guide assembly 5 is slidably connected to the first guide assembly 4, that is, the first guide assembly 4 can drive the second guide assembly 5 to reciprocate along the height direction of the frame 3, so that the mounting seat 7 and the furnace mouth 2 of the furnace body are at the same height. The first guide assembly 4 can be a linear drive motor, a screw slide, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and the present application does not limit the first guide assembly 4.

[0032] The second guide assembly 5 extends along the width direction of the frame 3, and the third guide assembly 6 is slidably connected to the second guide assembly 5, that is, the second guide assembly 5 can drive the third guide assembly 6 to reciprocate along the length direction of the second guide assembly 5 so that the mounting seat 7 is close to the furnace mouth 2 of the furnace body. The second guide assembly 5 can be a linear drive motor, a screw slide, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, etc. This application does not limit the second guide assembly 5.

[0033] The third guide assembly 6 is also rotatably connected to the second guide assembly 5. That is, the third guide assembly 6 can rotate relative to the second guide assembly 5 so that the third guide assembly 6 is directed toward the furnace opening 2 of the furnace body, thereby improving the accuracy of the mounting seat 7 directed toward the furnace opening 2 of the furnace body. The mounting seat 7 is slidably connected to the third guide assembly 6, and the third guide assembly 6 can drive the mounting seat 7 to reciprocate toward the furnace opening 2 of the furnace body, thereby transporting the quartz tube 1 into the furnace body or transporting the quartz tube 1 out of the furnace body. The third guide assembly 6 can be a linear drive motor, a lead screw slide, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc. This application does not impose any restrictions on the third guide assembly 6.

[0034] The mounting seat 7 supports the quartz tube 1. In order to improve the stability of the quartz tube 1 placed on the mounting seat 7, a mounting groove 71 adapted to the quartz tube 1 is provided on the side of the mounting seat 7 facing away from the third guide assembly 6. The inner wall of the mounting groove 71 is arranged in an arc shape to prevent the quartz tube 1 from falling off the mounting seat 7.

[0035] During operation, the operator places the quartz tube 1 on the mounting seat 7. The first guide assembly 4 drives the second guide assembly 5 to move along the height direction of the frame 3, so that the quartz tube 1 on the mounting seat 7 is at the same height as the furnace mouth 2 of the furnace body. The second guide assembly 5 drives the third guide assembly 6 to move along the width direction of the frame 3, so that the quartz tube 1 on the mounting seat 7 is close to the furnace mouth 2 of the furnace body.

The third guide assembly 6 drives the mounting seat 7 to move axially along the furnace mouth 2 of the furnace body, thereby transporting the quartz tube 1 into the furnace body. If it is necessary to transport the quartz tube 1 out of the furnace body, the same procedure can be repeated.

[0036] The present application accurately transports the quartz tube 1 into the furnace body or transports the quartz tube 1 out of the furnace body through the setting of the loading device. Compared with manual operation, it reduces the workload of workers, improves the transportation accuracy and stability of the quartz tube 1, reduces the chance of damage to the quartz tube 1 during transportation, and increases production.

The first driving wheel and the first driven wheel are respectively rotatably connected to the guide pillar 41. The axial directions of the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel are parallel to the length direction of the frame 3. The first transmission belt is sleeved on the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel, so that the first transmission belt rotates along the height direction of the guide pillar 41.

The guide bracket 61 is rotatably connected to the second sliding block 56 via the rotating member 8, that is, the guide bracket 61 can rotate relative to the second sliding block 56.

[0056] The third driving member 62 is connected to the guide bracket 61, and its output end is used to connect to the screw 611. The output end of the third driving member 62 can be connected to the screw 611 directly or through a reducer. The third driving member 62 can drive the screw 611 to rotate. The mounting seat 7 is threadedly connected to the screw 611, and the mounting seat 7 is slidably connected to the slide rod 612. When the screw 611 rotates, it can drive the mounting seat 7 to move along the length of the guide bracket 61, thereby transporting the quartz tube 1 into the furnace body.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, two second guide assemblies 5 are provided and are respectively connected to two first guide assemblies 4, one end of the guide bracket 61 is connected to a second guide assembly 5 through a rotating member 8, and the other end of the guide bracket 61 is slidably connected to a bogie 9, and the bogie 9 and the guide bracket 61 can reciprocate along the length direction of the guide bracket 61, and the bogie 9 is connected to another second guide assembly 5 through a rotating member 8.

[0058] The second guide assembly 5 is provided with two parts that can improve the supporting effect of the third guide assembly 6, wherein one end of the guide bracket 61 is connected to the second sliding block 56 of one of the second guide assemblies 5 through a rotating member 8, and the other end of the guide bracket 61 is slidingly connected to the bogie 9, that is, the guide bracket 61 can slide relative to the bogie 9, and the bogie 9 is connected to the second sliding block 56 of another second guide assembly 5 through a rotating member 8, that is, the bogie 9 can rotate relative to the second sliding block 56 of another second guide assembly 5.

[0059] During operation, when the second driving members 55 of the two second guide assemblies 5 have different rotational speeds or different working times, the moving paths of the two ends of the guide bracket 61 will be different, that is, the guide bracket 61 rotates relative to the second sliding block 56, and the bogie 9 rotates relative to the second sliding block 56, and the guide bracket 61 rotates while sliding relative to the bogie 9. The rotation of the guide bracket 61 relative to the second guide assembly 5 improves the accuracy of the guide bracket 61 toward the furnace mouth 2 of the furnace body.

The axial direction of the ball 101 is perpendicular to the conveying path of the quartz tube 1. When the mounting seat 7 drives the quartz tube 1 to move along the length direction of the guide bracket 61, the ball 101 rolls, thereby facilitating the movement of the quartz tube 1 in the support seat 10 and improving the smoothness of the movement of the quartz tube 1.
