The annular plate is used to shield the area around the seed crystal to prevent the seed crystal from falling. The rotating sleeve can move upward with the substrate stage, and the rotating sleeve is first contacted with the limiting plate, and promotes the upward movement of the limiting plate and the annular plate, so that the substrate stage moves upward for a certain distance, and the annular plate can be moved upward together, so that the seed crystal can always be protected to prevent it from falling.

[0018] like Figure 1-2 The present invention provides a technical solution: a lifting mechanism for a crystal gasket, including a base 1, a moving mechanism 2 is arranged on the top of the base 1, a placement box 3 is arranged on the top of the moving mechanism 2, and slide grooves 4 are arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the placement box 3. The number of the slide grooves 4 is two, and the two slide grooves 4 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the vertical direction of the base 1.
[0019] The motion mechanism 2 includes a stepper motor 201, the output shaft of the stepper motor 201 is provided with a reducer 202, a substrate stage 203 is provided above the stepper motor 201, a center rod 204 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the substrate stage 203, and an infrared thermometer 205 is provided inside the top of the center rod 204, an annular plate 206 is provided inside the placement box 3, and the annular plate 206 is respectively in contact with the substrate stage 203 and the placement box 3, vertical rods 207 are provided at the top of both ends of the substrate stage 203, and a rotating sleeve 208 is provided on the outside of the vertical rod 207, and the rotating sleeve 208 is connected to the vertical rod 207 through a thread, and a limiting plate 209 is provided above the rotating sleeve 208, and the limiting plate 209 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular plate 206.
[0020] A support rod 5 is provided on the top of the base 1, and the base 1 is fixedly connected to the placement box 3 through the support rod 5. Connecting springs 210 are provided on the tops of both ends of the base 1, and a lifting rod 211 is provided on the top of the connecting spring 210. A cross bar 212 is provided on the top of the lifting rod 211. The top and bottom ends of the lifting rod 211 are fixedly connected to the cross bar 212 and the connecting spring 210 respectively. The cross bar 212 is in contact with the placement box 3. A threaded rod 213 is provided at the bottom of the placement box 3, and a push rod 214 is provided above the reducer 202.
[0021] like Figure 1 and 3 -4, the push rod 214 is fixedly connected to the center rod 204, the threaded rod 213 is threadedly connected to the push rod 214, sliding blocks 215 are provided on both sides of the annular plate 206, the sliding blocks 215 are movably connected to the slide groove 4, and a PLC controller 216 is provided on the top of the base 1.
[0022] During operation, the seed crystal is located on the substrate stage 203. Since the rotating sleeve 208 is connected to the vertical rod 207 through a thread, the rotating sleeve 208 can be rotated through the vertical rod 207, so that the top height of the rotating sleeve 208 is greater than the height of the seed crystal, which is convenient for subsequent operations. Because there is an external microwave plasma sphere on the placement box 3, the ion source transfers heat to the seed crystal placed in the center of the substrate stage 203 in the form of thermal radiation, and there is an infrared thermometer 205 under the substrate stage 203. The external infrared thermometer 205 transmits the real-time temperature of the seed crystal to the PLC controller 216, and the stepping motor 201 is turned on through the PLC controller 216. The stepper motor 201 starts to work, and controls the threaded rod 213 to rotate through the reducer, so that the threaded rod 213 rotates under the placement box 3. During the rotation of the threaded rod 213, since the threaded rod 213 is threadedly connected with the push rod 214, the rotation of the threaded rod 213 can make the push rod 214 move upward, and the center rod 204 fixedly connected to the push rod 214 moves upward at the same time, and pushes the substrate stage 203 above, so that the substrate stage 203 is close to the plasma source. In this way, the microwave plasma sphere and the seed crystal can be kept at a fixed distance by controlling the lifting and lowering of the substrate stage 203, thereby ensuring that the seed crystal grows rapidly under high power. When the substrate stage 203 moves upward, it can only move inside the annular plate 206 to prevent the crystal seed from falling, and the rotating sleeve 208 can move upward at the same time. Because the top height of the rotating sleeve 208 is greater than the height of the crystal seed, the rotating sleeve 208 and the limiting plate 209 can move upward first. When the substrate stage 203 continues to move upward, the limiting plate 209 can be pushed to move upward, and the annular plate 206 fixedly connected to the limiting plate 209 moves upward at the same time, so that when the substrate stage 203 moves upward, it is always located in the annular plate 206 to prevent the crystal seed from falling. The annular plate 206 is fixedly connected to the cross bar 212, so that the cross bar 212 and the lifting rod 211 can move upward at the same time, which can squeeze the connecting spring 210 under the lifting rod 211, so that the crystal seed can be protected by the annular plate 206 to prevent it from falling.
