[0029] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the liquid box 4 is also included, and the liquid box 4 is fixed to the bottom side of the operation box 1. The bottom side of the liquid box 4 is connected to a liquid infusion tube 6, and a solenoid valve 5 is installed on the liquid infusion tube 6. The solenoid valve 5 is electrically connected to the controller, and the free end of the liquid infusion tube 6 is arranged in the liquid replenishment area 122. When the solenoid valve 5 is opened, the liquid box 4 replenishes the crystal growth solution into the liquid replenishment area 122 through the liquid infusion tube 6.

[0030] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a crystal block 9, an electric telescopic rod 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the operation box 1, and a clamp 8 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 7.
