[0035] The components of this embodiment will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the crucible transport mechanism 1 may include a crucible transport support 11, crucible transport rollers 12 for rolling engagement with the bottom of the crucible, and a crucible transport flow bar 13 for rolling engagement with the side of the crucible. The top of the crucible transport support 11 is provided with a crucible transport channel 14. Several crucible transport rollers 12 are provided and are equally spaced along the length of the crucible transport channel 14 on both sides of the channel 14 via first roller shafts. The crucible transport flow bar 13 runs along the length of the crucible transport channel 14. The crucible transport flow bar 13 is installed on both sides of the crucible transport channel 14 in the angular direction. It can limit the lateral movement of the crucible.

Each outlet crucible blocking cylinder 17 has an outlet crucible blocking component 18 on its output rod.

[0037] When the crucible moves to the designated unloading position, the infeed end crucible blocking cylinder 15 drives the infeed end crucible blocking component 16 to extend and block the crucible from moving forward, so that the unloading clamping mechanism 3 can clamp the lid on the top of the crucible. After the lid is clamped, the infeed end crucible blocking cylinder 15 resets.

[0038] When the crucible moves to the designated capping position, the discharge end crucible blocking cylinder 17 drives the discharge end crucible blocking component 18 to extend and block the crucible from moving forward, so that the capping clamping mechanism 12 can assemble the cap onto the top of the crucible.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the cap removal and clamping mechanism 3 may include a cap removal and clamping bracket 31, a cap removal and clamping lifting drive cylinder 32, a cap removal and clamping lifting seat 33, a cap removal clamping head lateral drive cylinder 34, and a cap removal clamping head 35. There are two cap removal and clamping brackets 31, which are respectively installed on the cap removal bracket 2. The two cap removal and clamping brackets 31 are located on both sides of the cap removal and push mechanism 4. The cap removal and clamping lifting drive cylinders 32 are respectively installed on the two cap removal and clamping brackets 31. The two cap removal and clamping lifting drive cylinders 32 are respectively connected to the cap removal and clamping lifting seat 33 and drive it to move up and down.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the cap removal and pushing lateral movement drive mechanism 5 may include a cap removal and pushing rodless cylinder 51 and a cap removal and pushing lateral movement slide 52.

[0043] After the cap removal clamping mechanism 3 picks up the cap, the cap removal and lifting drive cylinder 42 drives the cap removal push claw 46 to move downward. Then, driven by the cap removal and pushing rodless cylinder 51, the cap removal push claw 46 pushes the cap into the cap removal and transport mechanism. During the process of the cap entering the cap removal and transport mechanism, the cap removal spring pressure column 47 presses down on the cap to prevent the cap from tilting up.

The cap lifting flow strip 743 and the cap lifting limiting stop 744 are both installed on both sides of the cap lifting seat 742. The cap lifting limiting stop 744 is located on the outside of the cap lifting flow strip 743.

[0049] When the cap is transported from the cap removal transport mechanism 6, the cap removal lifting cylinder 731 drives the cap removal lifting flow bar 733 and the cap removal lifting limit stop 734 on the cap removal lifting seat 732 to move downward. The cap moves to the top of the cap removal lifting flow bar 733, and the cap removal lifting limit stop 734 limits the cap on both sides. Then, the cap removal lifting cylinder 731 drives the cap removal lifting seat 732 to reset downward, and the cap also moves downward and is placed on the cap transition transport roller 72.

[0050] When the lid moves to the lid lifting limit device 74, the lid lifting cylinder 741 drives the lid lifting flow strip 743 and the lid lifting limit stop 744 on the lid lifting seat 742 to move upward, lifting the lid located at the top of the lid lifting flow strip 743.
