GAS PURGE DEVICE, LOAD PORT DEVICE, PURGE CONTAINER CONTAINER STAND, AND GAS PURGE METHOD

摘要

In a gas purge apparatus, a load port apparatus, an installation stand for a purging container, and a gas purge method, the inside of the purging container can be filled with a cleaning gas without inclining the purging container. A control means drives a nozzle driving mechanism to move a purge nozzle toward a purge port based on a fixing detection signal detected by a fixing detection sensor showing that the purging container is fixed on a table.
