[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this application, a plurality of second round rods push a plurality of bent arms to swing.

During the rotation of multiple rotating sleeves, the limiting plates on both sides inside them limit multiple limiting grooves, thereby driving multiple first threaded rods to rotate. Since the first threaded rods are threadedly connected to the threaded sleeves, the first threaded rods move horizontally when rotating, causing multiple first threaded rods to drive multiple bottom support plates to move towards the center of the crucible bottom, making multiple bottom support plates lift the crucible bottom upward. Multiple bottom support plates support the crucible, thereby improving the stability of the crucible during hoisting.

Finally, the piston sleeves push the inner support plates to tightly fit against the inner wall of the crucible to support the crucible. Multiple inner support plates cooperate with multiple support pads to fix the side wall of the crucible, improving the stability of the crucible during hoisting, preventing deviation and skew during the hoisting process.

[0035] A support assembly for supporting the inner wall of the crucible is arranged at the center of the bottom of the top frame 1. The support assembly includes a third threaded rod 33, a moving ring 34 and a plurality of support arms 36. A second motor 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the top frame 1. The output end of the second motor 45 is fixedly connected to the top end of the third threaded rod 33. The third threaded rod 33 penetrates through the top frame 1 and is rotatably connected to the top frame 1. The third threaded rod 33 penetrates through the moving ring 34 and is threadedly connected to the moving ring 34. A plurality of connecting blocks 35 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving ring 34. One end of each of the plurality of support arms 36 is respectively hinged to one of the plurality of connecting blocks 35. By rotating the third threaded rod 33, the moving ring 34 is driven to move. A limiting convex plate 37 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the plurality of mounting sleeves 13. A sliding sleeve 38 is slidably connected to the outer side of each of the plurality of limiting convex plates 37. A push plate 39 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the plurality of sliding sleeves 38.

A piston plate 43 is slidably connected to the inside of each of the plurality of piston sleeves 40. A sliding rod 41 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the plurality of piston plates 43.

Two ends of each of the plurality of springs 44 are respectively fixedly connected to one of the plurality of piston sleeves 40 and the inner support plate 42. The inner support plate 42 contacts the inner wall of the crucible, and the crucible is supported thereby to improve stability.

[0036] When this solution is in use, since the shape of the crucible is cylindrical and frustum-shaped with a wider top and a narrower bottom, after lifting the top frame 1 above the crucible and then lowering the top frame 1, the top frame 1 drives multiple fixing sleeves 6 to be located outside the crucible. By synchronously starting multiple hydraulic cylinders 14, then the hydraulic cylinders 14 push multiple push frames 15 to move outward. Then the multiple push frames 15 drive multiple second round rods 16 to move, so that the multiple second round rods 16 push multiple bent arms 3 to swing. When the multiple second round rods 16 swing, they deflect with the support shaft 302 as the rotation center, and further cause the bottoms of the multiple bent arms 3 to contract inward. The multiple bent arms 3 drive the multiple fixing sleeves 6 to move, the multiple fixing sleeves 6 drive multiple fixing cylinders 19 and rotating sleeves 20 to move, and the multiple rotating sleeves 20 drive multiple first threaded rods 21 to move, so that the multiple first threaded rods 21 push multiple bottom support plates 8 to move inward, making the multiple bottom support plates 8 move towards the bottom of the crucible and support the crucible near the bottom of the crucible.

[0037] By synchronously starting multiple first motors 29, the multiple first motors 29 drive multiple intermediate gears 30 to rotate. When the multiple intermediate gears 30 rotate, they drive two driven gears 31 to rotate. When the two driven gears 31 rotate, they drive two rotating rods 32 to rotate. When the multiple rotating rods 32 rotate, they drive multiple rotating sleeves 20 to rotate. During the rotation of the multiple rotating sleeves 20, the limiting plates 22 on both sides inside them limit multiple limiting grooves 23, so as to drive multiple first threaded rods 21 to rotate. Since the first threaded rods 21 are threadedly connected to the threaded sleeves 24, the first threaded rods 21 move horizontally when rotating, so that the multiple first threaded rods 21 drive multiple bottom support plates 8 to move towards the center of the bottom of the crucible, making the multiple bottom support plates 8 lift the bottom of the crucible upward. The multiple bottom support plates 8 support the crucible, so as to improve the stability of the crucible during hoisting. At the same time, when the multiple bent arms 3 swing, they drive multiple support pads 4 to move inward, making the multiple support pads 4 contact the outer wall of the crucible, so as to cooperate with the bottom support plates 8 to fix the crucible.

[0038] A plurality of second threaded rods 26 rotate. During the rotation of the plurality of second threaded rods 26, the moving sleeves 27 are driven to move, causing the plurality of moving sleeves 27 to drive the plurality of vertical rods 10 to move, and the plurality of vertical rods 10 to drive the plurality of guide frames 11 and the first round rod 12 to move. Then, the first round rod 12 moves along the inclined slot 901. Since the inclined slot 901 has an upwardly inclined trajectory, the first round rod 12 rises or falls during movement, thereby driving the guide frame 11 and the vertical rod 10 to lift and lower. During the lifting and lowering process of the vertical rod 10, the moving sleeve 27 is driven to lift and lower, so that the moving sleeve 27 drives the rear ends of the second threaded rod 26 and the fixed sleeve 6 to deflect up and down, adjusting the angle between the fixed sleeve 6 and the bottom support plate 8, so that the bottom support plate 8 fits against the bottom of the crucible, thereby improving the stability of the crucible during hoisting. Since the first round rod 12 is cylindrical, when the vertical rod 10 drives the guide frame 11 and the first round rod 12 to deflect at an angle, the first round rod 12 always remains inside the inclined slot 901.

[0039] The second motor 45 is started to drive the third threaded rod 33 to rotate. Then, when the third threaded rod 33 rotates, the moving ring 34 is driven to descend, and the moving ring 34 pushes the plurality of connecting blocks 35 and the support arms 36 to move. When the plurality of support arms 36 descend, they open outwards and push the plurality of push plates 39 to slide outwards, causing the plurality of push plates 39 to drive the plurality of sliding sleeves 38 to move outside the plurality of limit convex plates 37, limiting and guiding the push plates 39 and improving the stability of the push plates 39. When the plurality of push plates 39 move outwards, they drive the plurality of piston sleeves 40 to move outwards, causing the plurality of piston sleeves 40 to drive the plurality of sliding rods 41 and the inner support plates 42 to move. The plurality of inner support plates 42 are in contact with the inner wall of the crucible. The piston sleeve 40 continues to move, causing the piston sleeve 40 and the piston plate 43 to move relative to each other. During the movement of the piston plate 43 inside the piston sleeve 40, the buffer liquid inside the piston sleeve 40 flows through the plurality of through holes opened inside the piston plate 43, forming a damping effect, and cooperating with the spring 44 to buffer the piston plate 43. Finally, the piston sleeve 40 pushes the inner support plate 42 to tightly fit against the inner wall of the crucible to support the crucible. The plurality of inner support plates 42 cooperate with the plurality of support pads 4 to fix the side wall of the crucible, improving the stability of the crucible during hoisting and preventing deviation and skew during the hoisting process. The plurality of bottom support plates 8 support the bottom of the crucible to prevent the crucible from falling off, and can also be adjusted adaptively according to the bottom curvature of the crucible for easy use.

[0040] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description.
