[0028] Compared with the prior art, the lower slot bar group 4 and the upper slot bar group 3 of the quartz boat body limit wafers in the containing space, the port area between the upper slot bar group 3 serves as the access port of wafers, two limiting slot bars 2 are added on the outer side of the port area, the spacing between the two limiting slot bars 2 is less than or equal to the width of the port area, the covering and shielding of the port area are increased while allowing wafers to pass through, so that the wafers are prevented from falling off from the port area when rotating.

[0029] In some possible embodiments, please refer to Figure 2, the included angle between the center line of the two limiting groove rods 2 and the quartz boat body is greater than 180°. That is, the cross section of the limiting groove rod 2 is circular, the centers of the two limiting groove rods 2 are connected with the center of the quartz boat body, and the included angle between the two connecting lines is a, and the angle a is greater than 180°. The centers of the two upper groove rods 3 are connected with the center of the quartz boat body, and the included angle between the two connecting lines is also greater than 180°.

[0030] The included angle between the center line of the two limiting groove rods 2 and the center line of the quartz boat body is less than the included angle between the upper groove rod 3 and the center line of the quartz boat body.

[0031] In some possible embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 4 The upper groove rod 3 has a plurality of first grooves 6 arranged along the length direction and spaced apart, and the first grooves 6 are towards the port area; the limiting groove rod 2 has a plurality of positioning grooves 5 arranged along the length direction and spaced apart, and the positioning grooves 5 and the first grooves 6 correspond one by one, and the depth direction of the positioning grooves 5 and the first grooves 6 is consistent.

[0032] The length direction of the first groove 6 extends to the outer side wall of the upper groove rod 3 at both ends, forming a through groove structure; correspondingly, the length direction of the positioning groove 5 extends to the outer side wall of the limiting groove rod 2 at both ends, also forming a through groove structure.

[0033] The opening end of the first groove 6 of the upper groove rod 3 is towards the direction of the port area, and the two upper groove rods 3 are symmetrically arranged, so that the openings of the two first grooves 6 are opposite. The positioning groove 5 on the limiting groove rod 2 is parallel to the first groove 6, and the opening direction is also towards the port area. And the positioning groove 5 and the first groove 6 correspond one by one, and are spaced apart up and down. In the process of placing the wafer, the wafer passes through the gap between the two opposite positioning grooves 5, the gap between the two first grooves 6 and enters the containing space in sequence, until the lower end of the wafer abuts against the two lower groove rods 4, and the upper end of the wafer is limited by the two symmetric first grooves 6 on both sides.

[0034] Optionally, the distance between the two limiting groove rods 2 is equal to the width of the port area, and there is a gap between the limiting groove rod 2 and the upper groove rod 3. When the distance between the two limiting groove rods 2 is equal to the width of the port area, the outer edge of the opening end of the positioning groove 5 is flush with the outer edge of the first groove 6. In order to facilitate the limiting of the wafer, the depth of the positioning groove 5 is less than the depth of the first groove 6, so that the groove bottom of the positioning groove 5 is higher than the groove bottom position of the first groove 6; the width of the positioning groove 5 is less than the width of the first groove 6.

[0035] In some possible embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4 The diameter of the limiting groove rod 2 is less than the diameter of the upper groove rod 3, and the depth of the positioning groove 5 is greater than the radius of the limiting groove.

[0036] Since the end plate 1 of the quartz boat body is circular, a limiting slot bar 2 with a diameter smaller than that of the upper slot bar 3 can be used during installation to reduce the installation space of the limiting slot bar 2. In addition, since the limiting slot bar 2 is only used for auxiliary limiting here, the force it bears is smaller than that of the upper slot bar 3 and the lower slot bar 4, so selecting a smaller diameter limiting slot bar 2 can save costs.

[0037] The groove depth of the positioning groove 5 formed on the limiting slot bar 2 is greater than the radius of the limiting slot bar 2; the groove depth of the first groove body 6 formed on the upper slot bar 3 is equal to the radius of the upper slot bar 3. In this way, the edge of the limiting slot bar 2 is flush with the edge of the upper slot bar 3 on the side close to the port area, while the groove bottom of the positioning groove 5 exceeds the groove bottom of the first groove body 6.

[0038] In some possible embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the lower slot bar 4 group includes two lower slot bars 4, which are symmetrically arranged, and are arranged in parallel and spaced apart from the upper slot bar 3. The lower slot bar 4 is used to carry the bottom of the wafer, and the second groove body 7 is formed on the lower slot bar 4.

[0039] The two lower slot bars 4 are arranged in parallel and symmetrically, and the two lower slot bars 4 are arranged in parallel with the upper slot bar 3. The centers of the two lower slot bars 4 are respectively connected with the center of the quartz boat body, and the included angle between the two lines is greater than or equal to 90°, and the included angle is not more than 120°.

[0040] Optionally, the second groove body 7 formed on the lower slot bar 4 is used to limit the wafer; the width of the second groove body 7 is consistent with the width of the first groove body 6, and the second groove body 7 corresponds to the first groove body 6 one by one. A corresponding group of first groove bodies 6 and second groove bodies 7 are located in the same plane.

[0041] The groove bottom of the second groove body 7 is a plane, and the groove bottom of the second groove body 7 is perpendicular to the radial direction of the quartz boat body, so as to ensure that the opening direction of the second groove body 7 is towards the center of the quartz boat body.

[0042] The two ends of the length direction of the second groove body 7 are extended to the outer edge of the lower slot bar 4, so that the second groove body 7 forms a through groove structure.

[0043] In some possible embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 5 , the groove bottom of the second groove body 7 has a limiting chamfer 8, and the opening end of the second groove body 7 has a guide chamfer 9.

[0044] In order to facilitate the wafer to smoothly enter the second groove body 7, a guide chamfer 9 is arranged at the opening end of the second groove body 7, and the guide chamfer 9 is C0.5, that is, a 45° chamfer, and the length of the right angle side is 0.5mm. Similarly, a guide chamfer 9 is arranged at the opening of the first groove body 6 and the opening of the positioning groove 5, and the guide chamfer 9 is C0.5.
