Move, when the guide cover 3 is in the first position, the guide cover 3 can block the lower end of the feeding channel 15, at this time the feeding channel 15 is closed, and when the guide cover 3 is in the second position, the feeding channel 15 is opened , at this time, the silicon raw material in the storage chamber 14 can be transported to the crucible through the transport channel 15 . In addition, during the feeding process, under the guidance of the guide cover 3 , the polysilicon material can be placed at a relatively outer position of the crucible, thereby reducing the fluctuation of the silicon melt 200 at the center. Preferably, the feeding pipe 100 can also include a pulling mechanism 4, which is connected to the upper end of the guide cover 3, and the pulling mechanism 4 is used to pull up and down, so that the guide cover 3 is in the first position and the second position.

進一步地,導向蓋3適於沿管本體1的軸向第一位置和第二位置之間移動,在沿管本體1的軸向且遠離管本體1的方向上,導向蓋3的上表面的至少部分沿徑向向外傾斜延伸形成導向面,導向蓋3的直徑大於輸料通道15的直徑,導向蓋3位於第一位置時,導向面封堵輸料通道15,導向蓋3在第二位置時,導向面與管本體1沿軸向間隔開,儲料腔14內的矽原料適於沿導向面輸送到坩堝內。Further, the guide cover 3 is adapted to move between the first position and the second position along the axial direction of the pipe body 1, and in the direction along the axial direction of the pipe body 1 and away from the pipe body 1, the upper surface of the guide cover 3 At least part of it extends radially outwards to form a guide surface.

例如圖4所示,導向蓋3形成為在從下至上的方向上橫截面積逐漸減小的圓錐形,導向蓋3的上表面形成為導向面,導向蓋3在參考面內的投影的直徑大於輸料通道15在參考面內的投影的直徑,在投放矽原料時,從輸料通道15落下的矽原料首先落在導向蓋3上,然後沿著導向面滑落到坩堝內,如此,一方面導向蓋3可以起到對矽原料的緩衝作用,另一方面,由於矽原料是從導向蓋3的邊緣落入坩堝內,因此矽原料在坩堝內的落料區域由導向蓋3的大小決定,因此可以通過調整導向蓋3的大小來調整矽原料的落料區域。For example, as shown in Figure 4, the guide cover 3 is formed into a conical shape whose cross-sectional area gradually decreases in the direction from bottom to top, and the upper surface of the guide cover 3 is formed as a guide surface, and the diameter of the projection of the guide cover 3 in the reference plane greater than the diameter of the projection of the feeding channel 15 in the reference plane, when the silicon raw material is put in, the silicon raw material falling from the feeding channel 15 first falls on the guide cover 3, and then slides down into the crucible along the guiding surface, so that a On the one hand, the guide cover 3 can act as a buffer for the silicon raw material; on the other hand, since the silicon raw material falls into the crucible from the edge of the guide cover 3, the blanking area of the silicon raw material in the crucible is determined by the size of the guide cover 3 , so the blanking area of the silicon raw material can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the guide cover 3 .

在一些實施例中,參考圖8至圖10,導向蓋3可以包括:第一導向部31和第二導向部32。其中,第一導向部31在參考面內的投影形成為半圓形,第一導向部31適於將矽原料投放至坩堝的第一區域。第二導向部32在參考面內的投影形成為半圓形,第二導向部32在參考面內的投影的半徑小於第一導向部31在參考面內的投影的半徑,第二導向部32與第一導向部31沿徑向相對且相連,第二導向部32適於將矽原料投放至坩堝的第二區域,第二區域在參考面內的投影位於第一區域在參考面內的投影的內側,參考面垂直於輸料通道15的中心軸線。導向蓋3還適於繞輸料通道15的軸線轉動,以使第一導向部31或第二導向部32運動至需要投放矽料的儲料腔14的下側,如此,通過設置導向蓋3,並將導向蓋3設置為適於繞輸料通道15的軸線轉動,可以方便地調整原料在坩堝內的落料區域。In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 , the guide cover 3 may include: a first guide portion 31 and a second guide portion 32 . Wherein, the projection of the first guide part 31 in the reference plane is formed as a semicircle, and the first guide part 31 is suitable for putting the silicon raw material into the first area of the crucible. The projection of the second guide portion 32 in the reference plane is formed as a semicircle, the radius of the projection of the second guide portion 32 in the reference plane is smaller than the radius of the projection of the first guide portion 31 in the reference plane, and the second guide portion 32 Opposite and connected to the first guide part 31 in the radial direction, the second guide part 32 is suitable for putting the silicon raw material into the second area of the crucible, and the projection of the second area on the reference plane is located at the projection of the first area on the reference plane The inner side of the reference plane is perpendicular to the central axis of the feeding channel 15 . The guide cover 3 is also suitable for rotating around the axis of the feeding channel 15, so that the first guide part 31 or the second guide part 32 moves to the lower side of the storage chamber 14 where the silicon material needs to be put in, so that by setting the guide cover 3 , and the guide cover 3 is set to be suitable for rotating around the axis of the material delivery channel 15, so that the blanking area of the raw material in the crucible can be adjusted conveniently.

例如,當確定矽原料需要投放在第一區域時,可以控制導向蓋3旋轉至第一導向部31與儲料腔14的連通口相對,然後控制導向蓋3沿軸向移動至第二位置以打開輸料通道15,控制開關門21打開連通口,控制加料管100與第一導向部31同步轉動,此時儲料腔14內的原料可以始終沿著第一導向部31的導向面落到坩堝的第一區域。For example, when it is determined that the silicon raw material needs to be placed in the first area, the guide cover 3 can be controlled to rotate until the first guide portion 31 is opposite to the communication port of the storage chamber 14, and then the guide cover 3 can be controlled to move axially to the second position to Open the feeding channel 15, control the opening and closing door 21 to open the communication port, and control the feed pipe 100 to rotate synchronously with the first guide part 31. At this time, the raw materials in the material storage chamber 14 can always fall to The first area of the crucible.

當確定矽原料需要投放在第二區域時,可以控制導向蓋3旋轉至第二導向部32與儲料腔14的連通口相對,然後控制導向蓋3沿軸向移動至第二位置以打開輸料通道15,控制開關門21打開連通口,並控制加料管100與第二導向部32同步轉動,此時儲料腔14內的原料可以始終沿著第一導向部31的導向面落到坩堝的第二區域。When it is determined that the silicon raw material needs to be placed in the second area, the guide cover 3 can be controlled to rotate until the second guide part 32 is opposite to the communication port of the material storage chamber 14, and then the guide cover 3 is controlled to move axially to the second position to open the delivery. Material channel 15, control the switch door 21 to open the communication port, and control the feeding pipe 100 to rotate synchronously with the second guide part 32, at this time, the raw material in the material storage chamber 14 can always fall into the crucible along the guide surface of the first guide part 31 of the second area.

當確定坩堝的第一區域和第二區域均需要投放矽原料時,可以控制導向蓋3沿軸向移動至第二位置以打開輸料通道15,控制開關組件2打開連通口,控制加料管100與導向蓋3差速轉動,這樣,當第一導向部31轉動至和儲料腔14的連通口相對時,儲料腔14內的矽原料可以沿第一導向部31的導向面落至坩堝的第一區域;當第二導向部32轉動至和儲料腔14的連通口相對時,儲料腔14內的矽原料可以沿第二導向部32的導向面落至坩堝的第二區域。When it is determined that both the first area and the second area of the crucible need to put in silicon raw materials, the guide cover 3 can be controlled to move to the second position in the axial direction to open the feeding channel 15, the control switch assembly 2 is opened to open the communication port, and the feeding pipe 100 is controlled. Rotate at a differential speed with the guide cover 3, so that when the first guide part 31 rotates to face the communication port of the storage chamber 14, the silicon raw material in the storage chamber 14 can fall to the crucible along the guide surface of the first guide part 31 When the second guide part 32 is rotated to face the communication port of the storage chamber 14, the silicon material in the storage chamber 14 can fall to the second area of the crucible along the guide surface of the second guide part 32.

在一些實施例中,參考圖1至圖3,多個儲料腔14適於分別存儲不同尺寸的矽原料,多個儲料腔14按照所存儲的矽原料的尺寸大小沿管本體1的周向依次佈置。例如,多個所述儲料腔14包括:第一儲料腔、第二儲料腔、第三儲料腔和第四儲料腔。其中,第一儲料腔適於儲放第一尺寸的矽原料;第二儲料腔適於儲放第二尺寸的矽原料,第二尺寸大於第一尺寸;第三儲料腔適於儲放第三尺寸的矽原料,第三尺寸大於第二尺寸;第四儲料腔適於儲放第四尺寸的矽原料,第四尺寸大於第三尺寸,第一儲料腔、第二儲料腔、第三儲料腔以及第四儲料腔沿管本體1的周向依次佈置。如此,本發明的加料管100可以根據實際需要投放多種尺寸的矽原料。In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , a plurality of storage chambers 14 are adapted to respectively store silicon raw materials of different sizes, and a plurality of storage chambers 14 are arranged along the circumference of the tube body 1 according to the sizes of the stored silicon raw materials. Arranged in order. For example, the multiple storage chambers 14 include: a first storage chamber, a second storage chamber, a third storage chamber and a fourth storage chamber. Wherein, the first storage chamber is suitable for storing silicon raw materials of a first size; the second storage chamber is suitable for storing silicon raw materials of a second size, and the second size is larger than the first size; the third storage chamber is suitable for storing Put the silicon raw material of the third size, the third size is larger than the second size; the fourth storage chamber is suitable for storing the silicon raw material of the fourth size, the fourth size is larger than the third size, the first storage chamber, the second storage chamber The cavity, the third material storage cavity and the fourth material storage cavity are sequentially arranged along the circumference of the pipe body 1 . In this way, the feeding tube 100 of the present invention can inject silicon raw materials of various sizes according to actual needs.

在加料管100向坩堝內投放矽原料時,可以按照多個儲料腔14所存儲的矽原料的尺寸由小到大的順序來依次打開多個儲料腔14,以使較小尺寸的矽原料先落入矽熔湯200內,這樣,靠後投放的較大尺寸的矽原料在落入矽熔湯200時可以以靠前投放的矽原料作為緩衝層,以防止矽熔湯200的飛濺。例如,先將第一尺寸的多晶矽塊(矽原料)加入矽熔湯200,由此第一尺寸的多晶矽塊可以在矽熔湯200的表面形成第一緩衝層;然後再投放第二尺寸的多晶矽塊,使得第二尺寸的多晶矽塊掉落至第一緩衝層上,在第一緩衝層的緩衝作用下,可以減少第二尺寸的多晶矽塊對矽熔湯200的衝擊,同時第二尺寸的多晶矽塊又可以形成第二緩衝層;以此類推,依次再投放第三尺寸和第四尺寸的多晶矽塊,如此,在緩衝層的緩衝下,可以避免出現矽熔湯200飛濺的問題,而且還可以避免較大尺寸的多晶矽塊砸破石英坩堝,從而保證設備工作的可靠性。When the feeding tube 100 puts silicon raw materials into the crucible, the multiple storage chambers 14 can be sequentially opened according to the size of the silicon raw materials stored in the multiple storage chambers 14 from small to large, so that the silicon raw materials with smaller sizes The raw materials fall into the silicon melting soup 200 first, and like this, when the larger-sized silicon raw materials put in later fall into the silicon melting soup 200, the silicon raw materials put in front can be used as a buffer layer to prevent the silicon melting soup 200 from splashing . For example, the polycrystalline silicon block (silicon raw material) of the first size is added into the silicon molten soup 200 first, so that the polycrystalline silicon block of the first size can form a first buffer layer on the surface of the silicon molten soup 200; and then the polycrystalline silicon of the second size is added block, so that the polysilicon block of the second size falls on the first buffer layer, and under the buffering effect of the first buffer layer, the impact of the polysilicon block of the second size on the molten silicon soup 200 can be reduced, while the polysilicon block of the second size The block can form the second buffer layer again; and so on, put in the polysilicon blocks of the third size and the fourth size in turn, so, under the buffer of the buffer layer, the problem of splashing of silicon molten soup 200 can be avoided, and it can also Avoid breaking the quartz crucible by large-sized polycrystalline silicon blocks, so as to ensure the reliability of the equipment.

Of course, the central angles of multiple material storage chambers 14 can be reasonably selected according to actual needs, so that more large-size polysilicon materials can be stored. . Certainly, specifically, the angle range of each chamber can be expanded, as long as the volume of the fourth storage chamber is ensured to be the largest.

或者,在另外的一些實施例中,加料管100也可以構造為第一儲料腔和第二儲料腔的容積相同,第三儲料腔和第四儲料腔的容積相同,並且,第一儲料腔和第二儲料腔的容積小於第三儲料腔和第四儲料腔的容積。還或者,加料管100也可以構造為第二儲料腔和第三儲料腔的容積相同,第一儲料腔的容積小於第二儲料腔的容積,第三儲料腔的容積小於第四儲料腔的容積。多個儲料腔14的容積大小可以根據實際需要合理選擇。Or, in some other embodiments, the feeding pipe 100 can also be configured such that the volumes of the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber are the same, the volumes of the third storage chamber and the fourth storage chamber are the same, and the first The volumes of the first material storage chamber and the second material storage chamber are smaller than the volumes of the third material storage chamber and the fourth material storage chamber. Alternatively, the feeding pipe 100 can also be configured such that the volumes of the second material storage chamber and the third material storage chamber are the same, the volume of the first material storage chamber is smaller than the volume of the second material storage chamber, and the volume of the third material storage chamber is smaller than that of the third material storage chamber.

Wherein, the first storage chamber is suitable for storing silicon raw materials of a first size; the second storage chamber is suitable for storing silicon raw materials of a second size, and the second size is larger than the first size; the third storage chamber is suitable for storing Put the silicon raw material of the third size, the third size is larger than the second size; the fourth storage chamber is suitable for storing the silicon raw material of the fourth size, the fourth size is larger than the third size, the first storage chamber, the second storage chamber The cavity, the third material storage cavity and the fourth material storage cavity are sequentially arranged along the circumference of the pipe body 1 . In this way, the feeding tube 100 of the present invention can inject silicon raw materials of various sizes according to actual needs.

在加料管100向坩堝內投放矽原料時,可以按照多個儲料腔14所存儲的矽原料的尺寸由小到大的順序來依次打開多個儲料腔14,以使較小尺寸的矽原料先落入矽熔湯200內,這樣,靠後投放的較大尺寸的矽原料在落入矽熔湯200時可以以靠前投放的矽原料作為緩衝層,以防止矽熔湯200的飛濺。例如,先將第一尺寸的多晶矽塊(矽原料)加入矽熔湯200,由此第一尺寸的多晶矽塊可以在矽熔湯200的表面形成第一緩衝層;然後再投放第二尺寸的多晶矽塊,使得第二尺寸的多晶矽塊掉落至第一緩衝層上,在第一緩衝層的緩衝作用下,可以減少第二尺寸的多晶矽塊對矽熔湯200的衝擊,同時第二尺寸的多晶矽塊又可以形成第二緩衝層;以此類推,依次再投放第三尺寸和第四尺寸的多晶矽塊,如此,在緩衝層的緩衝下,可以避免出現矽熔湯200飛濺的問題,而且還可以避免較大尺寸的多晶矽塊砸破石英坩堝,從而保證設備工作的可靠性。When the feeding tube 100 puts silicon raw materials into the crucible, the multiple storage chambers 14 can be sequentially opened according to the size of the silicon raw materials stored in the multiple storage chambers 14 from small to large, so that the silicon raw materials with smaller sizes The raw materials fall into the silicon melting soup 200 first, and like this, when the larger-sized silicon raw materials put in later fall into the silicon melting soup 200, the silicon raw materials put in front can be used as a buffer layer to prevent the silicon melting soup 200 from splashing .

Compared with the feeding pipe in the related art, which only has one material storage chamber, and all the silicon raw materials are put into the silicon melt soup 200 when the material storage chamber is opened, it is not only convenient to control the amount of silicon raw materials put in each time, but also can prevent When a large amount of silicon raw material enters the silicon molten soup 200, the high-temperature silicon molten soup 200 is splashed, which improves the safety and reliability of the operation of single crystal growth equipment, and the silicon raw materials in multiple storage chambers 14 pass through the feeding channel 15 to drop, easier to control and adjust the drop area.

在一些實施例中,參考圖8至圖10,加料管100還可以包括:導向蓋3。具體而言,導向蓋3適於封堵輸料通道15的鄰近坩堝的一端,導向蓋3可以在第一位置和第二位置之間移動,當導向蓋3位於第一位置時,導向蓋3可以封堵輸料通道15的下端,此時輸料通道15被關閉,當導向蓋3處於第二位置時,輸料通道15被打開,此時儲料腔14內的矽原料可以通過輸料通道15輸送至坩堝。此外,當投料時,在導向蓋3體的導向下,多晶矽料可以投放在坩堝的相對靠外的位置處,從而減少中心位置矽熔湯200的波動。較佳地,加料管100還可以包括提拉機構4,提拉機構4與導向蓋3體的上端連接,利用提拉機構4的上下牽拉,使得導向蓋3體打開或封閉輸料通道15的底端。In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 , the feeding pipe 100 may further include: a guide cover 3 . Specifically, the guide cover 3 is suitable for blocking one end of the adjacent crucible of the feeding channel 15, the guide cover 3 can move between the first position and the second position, when the guide cover 3 is in the first position, the guide cover 3 The lower end of the material delivery channel 15 can be blocked. At this time, the material delivery channel 15 is closed. When the guide cover 3 is in the second position, the material delivery channel 15 is opened. At this time, the silicon raw material in the material storage chamber 14 can pass through the material delivery channel. Channel 15 feeds the crucible. In addition, when feeding, under the guidance of the guide cover 3 , the polysilicon material can be placed at a relatively outer position of the crucible, thereby reducing the fluctuation of the silicon melt 200 at the center. Preferably, the feeding pipe 100 can also include a pulling mechanism 4, which is connected to the upper end of the guide cover 3, and the guide cover 3 is pulled up and down by the pulling mechanism 4 to open or close the feeding channel 15. bottom end.

進一步地,導向蓋3適於沿管本體1的軸向第一位置和第二位置之間移動,在沿管本體1的軸向且遠離管本體1的方向上,導向蓋3的至少部分沿徑向向外傾斜延伸形成導向面,導向蓋3的直徑大於輸料通道15的直徑,導向蓋3位於第一位置時,導向面封堵輸料通道15,導向蓋3在第二位置時,導向面與管本體1沿軸向間隔開,儲料腔14內的矽原料適於沿導向面輸送到坩堝內。Further, the guide cover 3 is suitable for moving between the first position and the second position along the axial direction of the pipe body 1, and at least part of the guide cover 3 is along the axial direction of the pipe body 1 and away from the pipe body 1. Radially outwardly inclined to extend to form a guide surface, the diameter of the guide cover 3 is greater than the diameter of the feed passage 15, when the guide cover 3 is in the first position, the guide surface blocks the feed passage 15, and when the guide cover 3 is in the second position, The guide surface is spaced apart from the pipe body 1 in the axial direction, and the silicon raw material in the storage chamber 14 is suitable for being transported into the crucible along the guide surface.

導向蓋3形成為在從下至上的方向上橫截面積逐漸減小的圓錐形,導向蓋3的上表面形成為導向面,導向蓋3在參考面內的投影的直徑大於輸料通道15在參考面內的投影的直徑,在投放矽原料時,從輸料通道15落下的矽原料首先落在導向蓋3上,然後沿著導向面滑落到坩堝內,如此,一方面導向蓋3可以起到對矽原料的緩衝作用,另一方面,由於矽原料是從導向蓋3的邊緣落入坩堝內,因此矽原料在坩堝內的落料區域由導向蓋3的大小決定,因此可以通過調整導向蓋3的大小來調整矽原料的落料區域。Guide cover 3 is formed into the conical shape that the cross-sectional area gradually reduces in the direction from bottom to top, and the upper surface of guide cover 3 is formed as guide surface, and the diameter of the projection of guide cover 3 in the reference plane is greater than material conveying channel 15 in Referring to the diameter of the projection in the plane, when putting in the silicon raw material, the silicon raw material falling from the feeding channel 15 first falls on the guide cover 3, and then slides down into the crucible along the guide surface. In this way, on the one hand, the guide cover 3 can be lifted On the other hand, since the silicon material falls into the crucible from the edge of the guide cover 3, the blanking area of the silicon material in the crucible is determined by the size of the guide cover 3, so it can be adjusted by adjusting the guide cover. The size of the cover 3 is used to adjust the blanking area of the silicon raw material.

在一些實施例中,導向蓋3可以包括:第一導向部31和第二導向部32。其中,第一導向部31在參考面內的投影形成為半圓形,第一導向部31適於將矽原料投放至坩堝的第一區域。第二導向部32在參考面內的投影形成為半圓形,第二導向部32在參考面內的投影的半徑小於第一導向部31在參考面內的投影的半徑,第二導向部32與第一導向部31沿徑向相對且相連,第二導向部32適於將矽原料投放至坩堝的第二區域,第二區域在參考面內的投影位於第一區域在參考面內的投影的內側,參考面垂直於輸料管道的中心軸線。導向蓋3還適於繞輸料通道15的軸線轉動,以使第一導向部31或第二導向部32運動至需要投放矽料的儲料腔14的下側,如此,通過設置導向蓋3,並將導向蓋3設置為適於繞輸料通道15的軸線轉動,可以方便地調整原料在坩堝內的落料區域。In some embodiments, the guide cover 3 may include: a first guide portion 31 and a second guide portion 32 . Wherein, the projection of the first guide part 31 in the reference plane is formed as a semicircle, and the first guide part 31 is suitable for putting the silicon raw material into the first area of the crucible. The projection of the second guide portion 32 in the reference plane is formed as a semicircle, the radius of the projection of the second guide portion 32 in the reference plane is smaller than the radius of the projection of the first guide portion 31 in the reference plane, and the second guide portion 32 Opposite and connected to the first guide part 31 in the radial direction, the second guide part 32 is suitable for putting the silicon raw material into the second area of the crucible, and the projection of the second area on the reference plane is located at the projection of the first area on the reference plane The inner side of the reference plane is perpendicular to the central axis of the conveying pipeline. The guide cover 3 is also suitable for rotating around the axis of the feeding channel 15, so that the first guide part 31 or the second guide part 32 moves to the lower side of the storage chamber 14 where the silicon material needs to be put in, so that by setting the guide cover 3 , and the guide cover 3 is set to be suitable for rotating around the axis of the material delivery channel 15, so that the blanking area of the raw material in the crucible can be adjusted conveniently.

加料方法還包括以下步驟:當確定矽原料需要投放在第一區域時,可以控制導向蓋3旋轉至第一導向部31與儲料腔14的連通口相對,然後控制導向蓋3沿軸向移動至第二位置以打開輸料通道15,控制開關門21打開連通口,控制加料管100與第一導向部31同步轉動,此時儲料腔14內的原料可以始終沿著第一導向部31的導向面落到坩堝的第一區域。The feeding method also includes the following steps: when it is determined that the silicon raw material needs to be placed in the first area, the guide cover 3 can be controlled to rotate until the first guide part 31 is opposite to the communication port of the material storage chamber 14, and then the guide cover 3 can be controlled to move in the axial direction To the second position to open the feeding channel 15, control the switch door 21 to open the communication port, control the feed pipe 100 to rotate synchronously with the first guide part 31, and at this time, the raw materials in the material storage chamber 14 can always follow the first guide part 31 The guide surface falls onto the first area of the crucible.

當確定矽原料需要投放在第二區域時,可以控制導向蓋3旋轉至第二導向部32與儲料腔14的連通口相對,然後控制導向蓋3沿軸向移動至第二位置以打開輸料通道15,控制開關門21打開連通口,並控制加料管100與第二導向部32同步轉動,此時儲料腔14內的原料可以始終沿著第一導向部31的導向面落到坩堝的第二區域。When it is determined that the silicon raw material needs to be placed in the second area, the guide cover 3 can be controlled to rotate until the second guide part 32 is opposite to the communication port of the material storage chamber 14, and then the guide cover 3 is controlled to move axially to the second position to open the delivery. Material channel 15, control the switch door 21 to open the communication port, and control the feeding pipe 100 to rotate synchronously with the second guide part 32, at this time, the raw material in the material storage chamber 14 can always fall into the crucible along the guide surface of the first guide part 31 of the second area.

當確定坩堝的第一區域和第二區域均需要投放矽原料時,可以控制導向蓋3沿軸向移動至第二位置以打開輸料通道15,控制開關組件2打開連通口,控制加料管100與導向蓋3差速轉動,這樣,當第一導向部31轉動至和儲料腔14的連通口相對時,儲料腔14內的矽原料可以沿第一導向部31的導向面落至坩堝的第一區域;當第二導向部32轉動至和儲料腔14的連通口相對時,儲料腔14內的矽原料可以沿第二導向部32的導向面落至坩堝的第二區域。由此,根據本實施例的加料方法,可以方便地向坩堝的第一區域和第二區域投放矽原料。When it is determined that both the first area and the second area of the crucible need to put in silicon raw materials, the guide cover 3 can be controlled to move to the second position in the axial direction to open the feeding channel 15, the control switch assembly 2 is opened to open the communication port, and the feeding pipe 100 is controlled. Rotate at a differential speed with the guide cover 3, so that when the first guide part 31 rotates to face the communication port of the storage chamber 14, the silicon raw material in the storage chamber 14 can fall to the crucible along the guide surface of the first guide part 31 When the second guide part 32 is rotated to face the communication port of the storage chamber 14, the silicon material in the storage chamber 14 can fall to the second area of the crucible along the guide surface of the second guide part 32. Therefore, according to the feeding method of this embodiment, the silicon raw material can be conveniently fed into the first area and the second area of the crucible.
