Since the single crystal pulling apparatus 100 has the above-mentioned structure, when the internal pipe 8 of the raw material supply pipe 7 of FIG. 6 is arranged and attached in the airtight container 6, the lid shown in FIG. The upper end 8b of the internal pipe 8 is projected above the main body 60 through the insertion hole 62 of the main body 60 of the supply pipe stopper 50 provided in the supply pipe introducing portion 123 of the portion 122. Then, in the insertion hole 62, the reduced diameter intermediate portion 8d immediately below the upper end portion 8b of the internal pipe 8 is arranged. The middle portion 8d has an upper end 8b.
Since the diameter is smaller than that of, the communication hole 63 can come and go. Therefore, after the internal pipe 8 is horizontally moved to the locking hole 61 through the communication hole 63, the internal pipe 8 is lowered to fit the upper end portion 8b of the internal pipe 8 into the locking hole 61, and The locking surface 8c on the outer surface of the portion 8b is connected to the locking surface 61 of the locking hole 61.

Next, when exchanging the crucible 3 having a larger diameter, for example, from the diameter shown in FIG. 6, if the position of the guide 31 is changed to a position distant from the axis CT, the following will be simplified. Moreover, the position of the lower end of the internal pipe 8 can be separated from the axis CT in correspondence with the replaced crucible 3. That is,
First, the main body 60 of FIG. 1 is separated upward from the fitting hole 71 of the main body supporting portion 70, and the main body 60 is horizontally rotated 180 degrees. At this time, since the main body 60 has an elliptical shape, the outer shape does not change even when the main body 60 is horizontally rotated 180 degrees. Therefore, in this state, the fitting hole 71 can be fitted again. Then, the locking hole 61 of the main body 60 is
Since it moves to a position away from T, if the upper end 8b of the internal pipe 8 is fitted and locked in the locking hole 61, the internal pipe 8 can be easily installed away from the axis CT. Further, by performing the reverse operation, it is possible to easily install the internal pipe 8 close to the axis CT. Therefore, since the internal pipe 8 can be arranged and attached at an appropriate position more easily than in the conventional case, the replacement of the crucible 3 can be facilitated.
