[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the feeding device of an embodiment of the utility model includes: a first feeding barrel 1, a second feeding barrel 2 and a feeding pipe 3, one end of the feeding pipe 3 is used to extend into the single crystal furnace, and the other end of the feeding pipe 3 is provided with an inlet 321, the discharge port of the first feeding barrel 1 and the discharge port of the second feeding barrel 2 are respectively arranged corresponding to the inlet 321, the discharge port of the first feeding barrel 1 is provided with a first valve 8, and the opening of the first valve 8 is adjustable to adjust the discharge amount of the first feeding barrel 1, the discharge port of the second feeding barrel 2 is provided with a second valve 9, and the opening of the second valve 9 is adjustable to adjust the discharge amount of the second feeding barrel 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, combined with the Figures 1 to 3 As shown, silicon material (granular silicon) can be discharged into the feeding pipe 3 through the first feeding barrel 1, and the master alloy can be discharged into the feeding pipe 3 through the second feeding barrel 2. Since the discharge port of the first feeding barrel 1 and the discharge port of the second feeding barrel 2 are respectively arranged corresponding to the inlet 321, the silicon material and the master alloy can be mixed at the inlet 321 of the feeding pipe 3 and fed into the single crystal furnace together through the feeding pipe 3.
