[0029] The rotation limit mechanism is easy to operate. You only need to gently push the furnace cover to rotate it into place, and it will automatically lock to prevent excessive rotation or backward rotation. It solves the problem of limiting the rotation of the furnace cover.

[0030] The rotation limit mechanism is cleverly designed, simple and practical, and does not require complicated adjustment or precise centering. It solves the problem that in the traditional furnace cover rotation limit mechanism, the operator must accurately insert the limit pin into the pin hole, which places higher requirements on the operator, and the operator must be close to the limit pin to operate.

[0031] The rotation limit mechanism has lower requirements on the position of the operator, as long as the operator can rotate the furnace cover. It solves the problem that the limit structure in the traditional furnace cover rotation limit mechanism must be installed in a position that is accessible and easy to operate, while the installation position of the rotation structure is relatively more flexible.
