The heat treatment apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 below is used for a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display (LCD: Liquid Crystal Display) or a plasma display (PDP: Plasma Display), an organic EL display, etc. (FPD · Flat Panel Display ) Production. Most of the heat treatment apparatuses are as shown in Patent Document 1, and have a structure in which a mounting shed is disposed in a heating chamber. In the heat treatment apparatus, a specific solution is applied to a substrate (heated material) such as a glass plate and heated and dried, and the substrate after the heat drying is used to move the substrate into and out of the segment, and the substrate is exposed to be introduced. A device that heats hot air at a specific temperature in the chamber to perform heat treatment (baking). φ The mounting shed here is a cage shape in which a plurality of segments supporting the substrate are provided in the vertical direction. That is, the prior art loading shed has a plurality of columns. When the column is viewed in a plane, the mounting shed is disposed at four corners of the four-corner shape and the side is in the aspect of 杈.丨缰 is made up of beams or plates to form a plane. That is, the beam is arranged in a lattice shape or a parallel shape. Also in the first technology of the #又部, the beam of the beam. That is, in the prior art, the interval between the segments of the segments is substantially equal to the spacing of the segments or the spacing of the beams is 144676.doc 201028631 [Prior Art Document] [Patent Document] [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2006-46894 SUMMARY OF INVENTION [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, the heat treatment apparatus is a device in which a substrate such as a glass plate is inserted into a heating chamber to be fired, but in the firing operation or the substrate is heated in and out. In the case of a chamber, sometimes the substrate is broken. At this time, it is necessary to remove the fragments of the substrate from the section of the mounting shed. However, the "heat treatment apparatus of the prior art" is difficult to perform the work of removing the fragments of the substrate from the segments. That is, since it is required to reduce the area occupied by the heat treatment apparatus, it is necessary to insert a large number of substrates into the heat treatment apparatus, so that the interval between the sections of the placement shed is extremely small. Therefore, the operator cannot enter the segments between each other. Therefore, the operator cannot enter the inside of the storage shed in the horizontal direction. Further, as described above, the section of the prior art has a beam or the like arranged in a lattice shape or a parallel shape, and the gap between the lattices or the beams is spaced apart from each other by a fixed domain. That is, in the prior art, the spacing of the grids of the segments or the spacing of the beams are substantially constant. In the section of the prior art, the grids are separated by any part of the material, so that (4) there is no gap between the shirts and the beams. ~Ν丨糸虱 = In the prior art heat treatment, the operator could not enter the inside of the storage shed. <Thus, for example, when the substrate is broken on the mounting shelf, there is no other method for removing the debris from the mounting shelf except for inserting a chip or the like from the outside of the mounting shelf 144676.doc 201028631. Further, in the mounting shed, in order to prevent damage to the substrate, there is a case where a tree member is provided in the segment portion, but the resin member is deteriorated and worn due to long-term use - < In such a case, it is necessary to replace the resin member or the like. However, in the prior art, the replacement of the resin member or the like is inconvenient for the same reason as described above. Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the aforementioned problems of the prior art, and has been developed for a heat treatment apparatus which can be easily maintained. [Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, the heat treatment apparatus of the present invention provided to solve the above problems includes a heating chamber for heating an object to be heated, and a holder for placing the object to be heated in the heating chamber. The utility model is characterized in that: the loading shed has a plurality of sections formed by a beam or a mesa, and the section or all the sections of the section have a missing section of the beam and the mesa, and Defects 〇胄 Setting the picking section' The picking section has a space of sufficient size for the operator to enter. (Request item) Here, "the space of a size that is sufficient for the operator to enter" is a space for inspection "usually a gap having a width of about 35 em or more", which is 40 cm to 6 cm in terms of common sense. The heat treatment device of the present invention has a missing portion of the beam and the mesa at a portion of the segment or all of the segment, for example, a central portion, and the cutout portion is provided with an empty space. A space of sufficient size for the operator to enter. 144676.doc 201028631 In the heat treatment apparatus of the present invention, since the inside of the planting shed has an empty stalk, the operator can enter the inside of the storage shed, even if it is for example Preferably, the substrate of the present invention can easily exclude debris of the substrate. The reduction device of the present invention preferably includes at least four main beams 'arranged in parallel and supported by the main beam Each of the trabecular beams of the trabecular beam is supported by at least two main beams, and any one of the main girder except the main one of the two sides of the force is disposed between the main girder other than the main girder of the two outer sides. According to the above configuration, the hollow portion is formed in the mounting portion. (Requirement 2) According to the above configuration, since the main end of the opening end of the cutout portion or the vicinity thereof is provided, the rigidity of the opening end is high. The rigidity of the inner surface is high. Therefore, the operator does not damage the inner surface of the picking part when working in the picking section, or the structure of climbing in the picking part by setting a ladder in the picking part, or arranging the hand and foot A structure for climbing a hollow portion in a section of the shed. The heat treatment device of the present invention has a heating chamber for heating the object to be heated and a heating chamber placed in the heating chamber. The shedper is characterized in that the storage shed is divided into two or more blocks, each of which has a plurality of sections, and the two or more blocks are arranged side by side in a vacant interval so as to be cross- The segmented portion of the block arranged in parallel is placed on the object to be heated, and the space is formed in the mounting shelf by the space, and the picking portion has a space in which the operator can enter the same size. According to the description, the 'station shed is divided into For example, a plurality of blocks on the front side shed and the rear side shed, and the gaps are formed by the interval between the blocks. The heat treatment device of the present invention also has a pick-up between the blocks 144676.doc 201028631 Therefore, the operator can enter the inside of the loading shed, so that even if the substrate is broken inside the loading shed, for example, the fragments of the substrate can be easily removed. For example, it is preferable that the upper side and the lower side are joined by an auxiliary beam or the like. However, if it is necessary to ensure the independence of each block, it is not necessary to join the blocks. The heat treatment apparatus of the present invention preferably has a heating chamber having The top wall and the side wall are provided with an opening and closing door that leads to the picking portion. (Requirement 4) According to the above configuration, the heating chamber has an opening and closing door, and the operator can open the opening and closing door to enter the heating chamber, and then enter the loading The picking section in the shed. In the heat treatment apparatus of the present invention, the mounting shed preferably has a plurality of columns supporting the beam or the mesa, and a column moving mechanism is provided in a part of the columns or all the columns, and the columns provided with the column moving mechanism can be raised and lowered independently of the other columns. (Requirement 5) According to the above configuration, the posture of the object to be heated placed on the segment can be corrected to the horizontal posture by the column moving mechanism. # That is, the heated object section such as the substrate should be placed in a horizontal position. • The horizontal posture is set to the horizontal posture: That is, the back-shaped members that abut against the substrate are designed and constructed in such a manner as to be at the same height from the ground surface. However, with the increase in the size of displays in recent years, the substrate subjected to heat treatment has also become larger, and its weight has become considerably heavy. Therefore, when the substrate is placed on the segment portion, the segment portion is bent due to the weight of the substrate, and the substrate cannot be horizontally held. Here, the amount of bending of the segment portion can be calculated from the weight of the substrate, and the shape of the segment portion 144676.doc 201028631 can be designed such that the segment portion can be horizontally formed with its weight when the substrate is placed. However, the weight of the substrate varies depending on the lot (product), and it is difficult to accurately calculate the amount of bending. Therefore, it is practically impossible to design the segment to have a shape in which the amount of bending is estimated in advance. Therefore, the present invention is to adjust the height of the column at the construction site, and correct the posture bear or shape of the segment so that the posture of the object to be heated becomes a horizontal posture. That is, in the heat treatment apparatus of the present invention, the column moving mechanism is provided on a part of the column or all of the columns, and the column provided with the column moving mechanism can be raised independently of the other columns. Therefore, at the construction site, the substrate is placed on the stage, or a dummy plate having a weight corresponding to the substrate is placed on the segment, and the column is moved to the column to move the column to a horizontal posture. As a result, when the object to be heated such as a substrate is placed on the mounting shelf of the heat treatment apparatus after the adjustment, the substrate or the like has a horizontal posture. Further, as the column moving mechanism, for example, a jack device or the like can be mentioned. Preferably, in the heat treatment apparatus of the present invention, the column moving mechanism is a jack device, and the jack device can relatively change the position of the lower end of each column. (Requirement 6) For example, when a large (for example, 3 x 2 m) glass substrate is an object to be heated, the heated object may be bent downward at both ends due to its own weight. Therefore, when the column on the both end sides and the column in the vicinity of the picking portion can be moved relative to each other in the segment, the shape of the segment can be set to a horizontal posture when the object to be heated such as a substrate is placed. shape. In the heat treatment device of the present invention, when the object to be heated is not placed on the mounting shed, the height of the beam or the table top of each of the sections is located on the inner side of the 144676.doc 201028631 It is low. (Requirement 7) According to the above configuration, since the height of the both ends of the stage is high, when the object to be heated such as a substrate is placed, the substrate or the like becomes water. Preferably, the loading shed has a plurality of columns, and the segments have at least four main rafts arranged in parallel, and each of the foregoing main beams is joined by at least two columns, and the columns not joined to the main beams are mutually assisted. The beams are joined, and the number of auxiliary beams is less than the number of main items. 4 Request item 8)

根據前述構成,載置棚之柱雖以主襟與輔助襟予以接 合’但輔助樑之數量比主樑少。因此載置棚之柱之接人 力,比以輔助樑接合之柱間小,以主樑接合之枉間其接: 力比較高。因此以主樑接合之柱彼此相對移動之自由度 小,以辅助樑接合之柱彼此相對移動之自由度較大。 此處本發明中,以主樑接合之柱之組合之—種係開口 附近之柱彼此之組合,其他組合係遠離開口位置之柱彼此 之組合。 又以輔助樑接合之柱之組合,係開口附近之柱與遠離開 口位置之柱之組合。 因此本發明所採用之載置棚中,開口附近之柱彼此之接 合力強,開口附近之柱與遠離開口位置之柱之接合力弱。 因此開口附近之柱彼此難以上下相對移動,而開口附近之 柱與遠離開口位置之柱之間易上下相對移動。因此本發明 之熱處理裝置,易將載置於段部之被加熱物之姿態修正為 水平姿態》 144676.doc 201028631 本發明之熱處理裝置較佳為,具備使載置棚整體昇降之 昇降裝置者。(請求項9) 根據前述構成,藉由具備昇降裝置,可減少用於將被加 熱物搬進搬出之開口部之數量。 本發明之熱處理裝置較佳$,具有使加熱室内成為通風 氣氛之通風機構,前述挑空部係於平行於藉由通風機構使 通風向加熱室流動之方向上,從載置棚之一邊側至另—邊 侧貫通設置,前述通風係通過前述挑空部而從載置棚之一 邊側流至另一邊側。(請求項1 〇) 根據前述構成,因通風機構之通風會通過前述挑空部從 加熱室之一邊侧向加熱室之另一邊側流動,故藉由通風將 被加熱物之中央部分予以加熱。因此藉由本發明之熱處理 裝置’可使被加熱物之溫度分布平滑化。 即藉由先前技術之熱處理裝置,熱風是從載置棚之邊部 向中央部侧流動,使被加熱物之中央部昇溫。即將熱風從 載置棚之邊部導入段部彼此之間,使熱風到達被加熱物之 中央部’與被加熱物接觸而使被加熱物之中央部昇溫。 但’因段部彼此之間隔通常狹小,故進入各段部之間之 熱風不多’被加熱物之中央難以昇溫,而於被加熱物產生 溫度偏差。 有鑒於此’本發明中於載置棚之中央具有挑空部,於該 挑空部流動熱風(通風)。因此被加熱物其中央部分會直接 接觸通風而被昇溫。因此藉由本發明之熱處理裝置,被加 熱物之溫度偏差小。 144676.doc -10- 201028631 [發明之效果] 本發明之熱處理裝置,因作業者可進入載置棚之内部, 故維護容易。此外,因增加被加熱物之中央之通風量,故 可改善熱處理性能。 【實施方式】 以下對本發明之具體實施形態進行說明。According to the above configuration, the column of the shed is joined by the main raft and the auxiliary rafter, but the number of the auxiliary beams is smaller than that of the main beam. Therefore, the connection force of the column placed on the shed is smaller than that between the columns joined by the auxiliary beam, and the connection between the main beams is the same: the force is relatively high. Therefore, the degree of freedom in which the columns joined by the main beam are relatively moved relative to each other is small, and the degree of freedom in which the columns for assisting the beam joining are relatively moved relative to each other is large. Here, in the present invention, the combination of the pillars joined by the main beam and the column near the opening of the seed system are combined with each other, and the other combination is a combination of the pillars away from the opening position. In addition, the combination of the columns of the auxiliary beam joints is a combination of a column near the opening and a column at a position distant from the port. Therefore, in the mounting shed used in the present invention, the columns adjacent to the opening have a strong bonding force, and the joining force between the column near the opening and the column away from the opening position is weak. Therefore, the columns near the opening are difficult to move up and down relative to each other, and the column near the opening and the column away from the opening position are relatively movable up and down. Therefore, the heat treatment apparatus of the present invention can easily correct the posture of the object to be heated placed in the segment to a horizontal posture. 144676.doc 201028631 The heat treatment device of the present invention preferably includes a lifting device for lifting and lowering the entire storage booth. (Requirement 9) According to the above configuration, by providing the elevating device, the number of the openings for loading and unloading the object to be heated can be reduced. Preferably, the heat treatment apparatus of the present invention has a ventilating mechanism for making the heating chamber a ventilating atmosphere, and the vacating portion is parallel to the direction in which the ventilating means flows the ventilating chamber to the heating chamber, from one side of the mounting shed to Further, the side passage is provided so that the ventilation system flows from one side of the mounting booth to the other side through the hollow portion. (Requirement 1) According to the above configuration, since the ventilation of the ventilation means flows from the side of one of the heating chambers to the other side of the heating chamber through the above-described hollow portion, the central portion of the object to be heated is heated by ventilation. Therefore, the temperature distribution of the object to be heated can be smoothed by the heat treatment apparatus of the present invention. In other words, in the heat treatment apparatus of the prior art, hot air flows from the side portion of the mounting shed toward the center portion side, and the central portion of the object to be heated is heated. That is, the hot air is introduced into the side portions between the side portions of the mounting shed, and the hot air reaches the central portion of the object to be heated to contact the object to be heated, thereby heating the central portion of the object to be heated. However, since the interval between the segments is usually narrow, there is not much hot air entering between the segments. It is difficult to raise the temperature in the center of the object to be heated, and a temperature deviation occurs in the object to be heated. In view of the above, in the present invention, a hollow portion is provided in the center of the mounting shed, and hot air (ventilation) flows through the hollow portion. Therefore, the central portion of the object to be heated is heated by direct contact with ventilation. Therefore, with the heat treatment apparatus of the present invention, the temperature deviation of the object to be heated is small. 144676.doc -10- 201028631 [Effects of the Invention] The heat treatment apparatus of the present invention is easy to maintain because the operator can enter the inside of the storage shed. Further, since the amount of ventilation in the center of the object to be heated is increased, the heat treatment performance can be improved.

The heat treatment apparatus 1 is configured to have a box-shaped outer wall portion 2 made of metal, and is provided with a machine housing portion 3' on which a substrate processing portion 5 is provided. The machine accommodating unit 3 houses a power supply device (not shown) that supplies electric power to the substrate processing unit 5, and a control device (not shown) that controls the operation of the substrate processing unit 5. The substrate processing unit 5 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and as shown in Fig. 3 or Fig. 3, four transfer ports 6 for loading and unloading the substrate W by a transfer device such as a robot arm (not shown) are provided on the front side. Further, * the air inlets 7 are provided on the same surface as the change port 6. A portion of the blower 8 protrudes from one side (inlet side) of the substrate processing unit 5. The door 10 is provided on the side of the other side. The door 10 is used for maintenance when it is opened for the operator to enter and exit. In the above replacement port 6, the baffle 9. The intake port 7 that is opened and closed in conjunction with the operation of the pneumatic cylinder 11 is adjusted by a motor (not shown) to adjust the opening degree. The inside of the substrate processing unit 5 is not generally divided into two & fields as viewed in Fig. 2. That is, the substrate processing unit 5 is in the heat treatment chamber 12 (heating chamber) and the hot air supply unit 14 is I44676.doc 201028631. Here, the hot air supply unit 14 houses a portion where the hot air is circulated in the heat treatment chamber 12. More specifically, the hot air supply unit 14 is for heating the air introduced into the heat treatment device 1 or the air flowing back from the downstream end of the heat treatment chamber 12, and is sent to the heat treatment chamber 12, and is provided with the blower 8 Or heater (not shown), etc. Further, a filter 15 is provided on the surface of the hot air supply unit 14 on the side of the substrate processing unit 5. The heat treatment chamber 12 (heating chamber) is a chamber surrounded by a peripheral wall 2 including a filter wall 15 and a peripheral wall 13 made of a heat insulating material. A substrate changing system 18 including a mounting shelf 16 is disposed in the center of the heat treatment chamber 12 (heating chamber). The heat treatment chamber 12 communicates with the hot air supply portion 14 via an opening of the filter 15 constituting the upstream wall 20. As shown in Fig. 3, a substrate replacement system 18 is disposed at a substantially central portion of the heat treatment chamber 12. The substrate changing system 18 includes a loading and unloading device 16 for stowing the substrate trade, and a lifting device 21 for lifting and lowering the loading shelf 16 as a whole. Here, although the physical loading shelf has the segment portion 23 of three or more segments, it is shown as having the segment portion 23 of eight segments due to the drawing relationship. Therefore, the ratio of the height direction of the mounting shed 16 is reduced as compared with the actual one. Further, although the mounting shed has a plurality of sections, most of the sections are omitted in FIG. The mounting shed 16 is provided on the main 襟 3 升 of the hoisting device 21 and is provided with a small mark 31. The substrate 31 is provided on the small cymbal 31. In the figure, the column 35 of the frame 26 is depicted as a quadrangular column. The main (four) and auxiliary beams 33 are depicted in thick lines, and the trabecular beams 31 are depicted in thin lines. 144676.doc -12* 201028631 The frame 26 of the loading shed 16, as shown in Fig. 5, is composed of eight columns 35, 36 main symbols 30 and a small number of auxiliary beams 33. The eight columns 35 have a jack device (column moving mechanism) 36 at the lower portion as will be described later. Further, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the eight columns 35 are arranged in a rectangular shape. That is, eight columns 35 are provided at each corner of the rectangle, and two are provided at equal intervals on the long sides (A row, B row). It can also be considered that four pillars are arranged at equal intervals on the long side (A row, B row). The spacing between the columns on the long sides (A rows, B rows) is about 4 cm cm to about 6 cm. Further, the column 35 on the A line and the column 35 on the B line are in the opposite position. That is, the stomach can be arranged in four columns parallel to the short sides of the rectangle, and two columns 35 are respectively arranged. In other words, it is also possible to arrange two of each of the a column, the b column, the c column, and the d column. Hereinafter, the names of the eight columns are called Aa, Ab, Ac, Ad,

Bb、Be、Bd。 主樑30於包含於同一列之柱35彼此之間各平行設置9 根即於柱Aa-Ba間、Ab-Bb間、Ac-Bc間、Ad-Bd間分別 於高度方向以相同間距各設置9根主樑。 因此,若端看主樑30之高度,則如圖6所示於同樣的高 度上分別存在4根主樑3〇。 又屬於同一行(A行、B行)之柱35彼此如圖5所示以輔助 襟33予以連接。輔助樑33之數量總計為10根左右,為主樑 數量之3分之1以下。 又於各段部23之主樑3〇(除最上段)上設置小標Μ。又本 實施形態中,各小樑31均設置為向外側伸出狀。 若如前所述端看主樑3〇之高度’於同一高度分別存在4 144676.doc 13 201028631 根主樑3 0 ’但於其中外側之2根主樑3 g上分別設有6根小襟 31。更具體地說明,如圖6所示,雖於各段沿a列、b列、。 列d列认有4根主樑30,但於其中外侧之2根之組合上設 置小樑3丨。即於a_b列間有6根小樑31,於c d列間有6根= 樑31。於中央之b_c列間無小樑,而成為缺欠部π。 因此,各段之缺欠部37於垂直方向相連,所有9段於上 下方向為通風狀態而形成挑空部38。又如前所述,雖因製 圖之關係’減少段部23之段數,但實際上係將中心部分於 上下方向跨3 0段以上挑空之狀態。 _ 從正面側看載置棚丨6,如圖3、4、7,正面側係呈9段之 主樑30以短間隔上下排列,且小樑31從其中8段之主樑π 向正面方向突出之形狀。又從背面侧看亦同樣,背面侧係 呈9段之主樑3〇以短間隔上下排列,且小樑31從其中8段之 主樑30向背面方向突出之形狀。 另一方面’若看載置棚16之側面侧,則如圖3、4、8所 不’於中央部有不存在主樑30或小樑3 1之空間(挑空 部)38。即如圖3、4、8所示,於柱Bb-Bc間、Ab-Ac間無小 Θ 樑’内部係空洞狀態。更準確地說明,以柱Bb_Bc、Ab_Bb, Be, Bd. The main beam 30 is disposed in parallel with each other between the columns 35 included in the same column, that is, between the columns Aa-Ba, Ab-Bb, Ac-Bc, and Ad-Bd at the same pitch in the height direction. 9 main beams. Therefore, if the height of the main beam 30 is viewed from the end, as shown in Fig. 6, there are four main beams 3 于 at the same height. The columns 35 belonging to the same row (A row, B row) are connected to each other by an auxiliary 襟 33 as shown in Fig. 5 . The number of auxiliary beams 33 is about 10 in total, and is less than one third of the number of main beams. Further, a small mark is placed on the main beam 3〇 (except the uppermost stage) of each of the sections 23. In still another embodiment, each of the trajectories 31 is provided to protrude outward. If we look at the height of the main beam 3〇 as described above, there are 4 144676.doc 13 201028631 root main beam 3 0 ', but there are 6 small rafts on the outer two main beams 3 g respectively. 31. More specifically, as shown in Fig. 6, the segments are along the a column and the b column. Columns d identify four main beams 30, but a combination of two of the outer ones is provided with trabeculae 3丨. That is, there are six trabeculae 31 between the a_b columns, and six = beam 31 between the cd columns. There is no trabecular between the b_c columns in the center, and it becomes the vacancy part π. Therefore, the cutout portions 37 of the respective segments are connected in the vertical direction, and all of the nine segments are ventilated in the up-and-down direction to form the pick-up portion 38. As described above, although the number of segments of the segment portion 23 is reduced by the relationship of the drawing, the central portion is in a state of being vacated in the vertical direction over more than 30 segments. _ From the front side, the shed 6 is placed, as shown in Figures 3, 4, and 7, the main beam 30 having the 9-segment side on the front side is arranged at a short interval, and the trabecular beam 31 is oriented from the main beam π of the 8 segments. Prominent shape. Similarly, as seen from the back side, the back side is a shape in which the main beams 3 of the nine stages are arranged up and down at short intervals, and the trabecular beams 31 protrude from the main beam 30 of the eight stages toward the back side. On the other hand, when the side surface side of the mounting shelf 16 is viewed, the space (the empty portion) 38 where the main beam 30 or the trabecular beam 31 does not exist in the center portion is not shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 8. That is, as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 8, there is no void inside the column Bb-Bc and between the Ab-Ac. More accurately, with columns Bb_Bc, Ab_

Further, the space (the empty portion) 38 is connected to the center of the loading shelf 16 from the end of one of the ends to the other end. Further, as described above, since the interval of the column 35 is about 4 〇 · cm to 60 cm, the operator can pass. If the viewing angle is changed, the structure of the loading shelf 16 can also be regarded as joining the two blocks 46, 47 with the four auxiliary beams 50, and the substrate W is spanned by two blocks 144676.doc • 14-201028631 46, 47 The segment portion 23 is placed. 4 and 5, the shed shed has a front side shed 46 and a rear side shed 47. The front side shed portion 46 has four columns, and Ac, Ad, Be, and Bd' are provided with two rows of main 'beams 30' in the height direction with respect to the column. The trabeculae 31 is supported by the main beam 3〇 in the above two columns. Similarly, the rear side shed portion 47 has four columns Aa, Ab, and β, and is provided with two rows of main beams 3〇e in the height direction and two columns in the second column by the main beam 30. Support trabecular 3丄. There are two auxiliary beams 50 between the pillars Ab and Ac between the front side shed portion 46 and the rear side shed portion 47, and two auxiliary beams 5 于 between the columns Bb and Bc. The structure of the lower portion of the loading shelf 16 will be described below. In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 9, a jack device (column moving mechanism) 36 is formed in a lower portion of each of the columns 35, i.e., screws 40 are integrally formed at the lower portions of the columns as shown in Figs. On the other hand, a hole 41 is formed in the lifting table 25 of the lifting device 21, and the screw 4 is partially inserted into the hole 41. Two other nuts, 45, hold the lifting table 25 and are fastened to the aforementioned screws 4A. Therefore, when the nut 43 on the upper side is rotated in a state where the nut 45 on the lower φ side is released, the column 35 can be raised and lowered by the thrust of the screw 40. In the present embodiment, since the jacks 36 are formed by all the eight columns 35, the columns 35 can be lifted and lowered independently of the other columns 35. However, since the frame 26 of the loading shelf 16 is joined to the auxiliary beam 33 by the main beam 30, even if the eight columns 35 can be lifted and lowered independently, the degree of freedom is not large. However, the relative degrees of freedom of the columns 35 are not the same, and the columns 35 arranged in the row direction (liming, limp) have a higher degree of freedom. That is, the frame is arranged in the column direction (a column, b column, c column, and d column) and the row direction (Α 144676.doc -15-201028631 row, B row) with the column 35 in the column direction (& column, b) The column, the e-column, and the d-column are joined by 36 main beams 30, and the row direction is joined by only the auxiliary beams 33 of the number of 3 or less. Therefore, the columns 35 arranged in the row direction (A row, 8 rows) are relatively easy to change in height. Hereinafter, a method of using the heat treatment apparatus of the present embodiment will be described. In the heat treatment apparatus of this embodiment, the height adjustment of the main beam 30 is performed before the first use. Figure U is an explanatory view showing a procedure for performing height adjustment, which shows the positional relationship and posture of the main beam and the trabecular beam. Moreover, the figure is an easy-to-understand, and the difference in the height direction is exaggerated. In the heat treatment apparatus according to the present embodiment, the height of the main beam 30 of each of the segments 23 is set to be the same as shown in Fig. 11 at the time of installation. However, after the substrate W is placed on each of the segments 23, As shown in Figure n(b), the main beam 30 at both ends (column a and column d) sinks from the central main beam 30 (column b and c) due to the weight of the substrate, so that the surface of the substrate w is curved. In the present embodiment, in the state in which the substrate w is placed on each of the segments U, the jack device 36 at the lower portion of the column 35 is operated to move the lower end of the column 35 up and down so that the substrate W becomes In the horizontal state, as described above, the nut 43 on the upper side is rotated in the state of the nut 45 on the lower side of the loose metal, and the column 35 is lifted and lowered by the thrust of the screw 4, and is adjusted as shown in Fig. U(c). The nut 45 makes the substrate W horizontal. When the substrate w is horizontal, the substrate w is removed, as shown in Fig. 51(d), and the ends of the columns (a column and the fourth column) are caused by the warpage of the column 35. The beam 3 is located higher than the center main beam 30 (column b and c), and the trabecular beam 31 is in the upward posture. 144676.doc 201028631 The heat treatment apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is as known. The glass substrate w is placed on the mounting shelf 16 in the heat treatment chamber 12 and heat-treated. Even if the lifting device 21 is operated, the lifting platform 25 is lifted and lowered, and the width and the mouth of the mounting portion 16 are adjusted. The height of 6 is the same. The substrate W is held by a robot arm (not shown), the changeover port 6 is opened, and the glass substrate w is placed in the above-mentioned segment portion 23 of the mounting shelf 16 in the heat treatment chamber I2. The lifting platform 25 of the lifting device 21 is operated to make any other segment

This operation is repeated as follows, and the substrate w is attached to all the segments 23 of the mounting shelf 16. On the other hand, in the heat treatment apparatus ,, the blower 8 of the hot air supply unit 14 and the heating § (not shown) are activated to make the inside of the heat treatment chamber 12 a hot air ventilating atmosphere. That is, although the hot air is supplied from the hot air supply unit 14 to the heat treatment chamber 12 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 2, one part of the hot air easily enters the center of the mounting shelf 16 from the open column Ab_Ac, and the hollow portion of the center portion is "loaded". The other end side of the shed 16 escapes, during which the central portion of the substrate w of each segment 23 is heated. The remaining ventilation flows between the columns Aa_Ab or between the columns Ac_Ad or around the mounting shed, and the substrate W is heated. As a result, the temperature of the substrate is increased as a whole, so that the temperature deviation is small. When the substrate w is broken, the substrate w is broken and the fault is broken.
